"Is this the end?"
Maki was stunned, unable to comprehend what this young man wanted him to do by bringing Gaara here.
"Your Excellency, about our Sand Ninja Village and Kirigakure…"
Maki snapped back to reality and quickly spoke, but before he could finish, Yūto waved his hand, interrupting what Maki was about to say.
"You are sensible, so if your Sand Ninja Village wants to interfere, you can. If not, just honestly watch the show."
Yūto had a faint smile on his face as he glanced at Maki.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
Maki's eyebrows furrowed immediately; he felt like the other party was trying to fool him.
"Do you think this great war is about to end?"
Yūto turned to face Konoha, a coldness in his voice as he continued, "No, this war has just begun!"
"Since Orochimaru is with your Sand Ninja Village, go back and tell him to make his move, or I will destroy him!"
Hearing the coldness in Yūto's voice, Maki's body trembled slightly.
Orochimaru had been famous for a long time, even longer than him, but for some reason, Maki actually somewhat believed what this young man in front of him said.
Maki swallowed, then turned and left with the Sand Ninja Village group.
As Gaara was being led away, he couldn't help but look back at Yūto. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt the originally violent aura of Ichibi within his body suddenly calm down a little.
Yūto didn't pay attention to the departure of the Sand Ninja Village and others, his gaze fixed on Konoha.
I said, if there were no backup plans, Konoha would be doomed!
Yūto's figure flickered, reappearing on top of Isobu's head. He sat cross-legged, patted Isobu's head, and said indifferently:
"It's time to move, Isobu!"
Roar!
Hearing Yūto's voice, Isobu, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly opened its eyes and slowly rose.
Its mountain-like body reappeared in everyone's sight, and a terrifying Chakra aura swept all around.
In another direction.
When Maki personally relayed Yūto's words to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru, whom Maki had expected to be furious, did not show any anger.
Aside from his unusually grim expression, Orochimaru walked out of the Sand Ninja Village's encampment without a word.
He bit his finger, pressed it firmly on the ground, and yelled, "Summoning Technique!"
Hiss—
Hiss—
After Manda was summoned, the first thing he saw was Isobu, who had just risen not far away.
"A Tailed Beast? Hey! Orochimaru, don't summon me for such troublesome things!"
Manda's extremely displeased voice rang in Orochimaru's ears.
"Your opponent isn't him, but Konoha ahead." Orochimaru said with a grim expression and a cold tone.
Manda paused, then turned his head to look in Konoha's direction, a human-like smile suddenly flashing in his eyes: "Interesting!"
Yūto glanced in Orochimaru's direction, then continued to look forward with an indifferent expression.
Roar!
Isobu let out a huge roar, and a large amount of Chakra began to gather around its mouth.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, two loud bangs also came from Konoha's direction.
A giant toad and a giant Katsuyu appeared in Yūto's line of sight.
As soon as the two giant summoned beasts appeared, they quickly rushed towards Isobu.
Bubble, standing not far below Isobu, reinserted his flute into his waist and suddenly leaped forward.
Partial Tailed Beast Transformation!
The Tailed Beast Chakra cloak instantly covered Bubble's entire body, transforming him into a dark red figure, and he charged towards the toad summoned by Jiraiya.
On the other side, Orochimaru also moved, controlling Manda to charge towards Katsuyu, summoned by Tsunade!
Jiraiya looked at Bubble rushing towards him, then glanced at the Three-Tails, who was forming a Tailed Beast Ball not far ahead, his face turning ashen.
"Get out of my way!"
Jiraiya, cooperating with Gamaken beneath him, unleashed a series of Ninjutsu towards Bubble.
However, Bubble easily dodged all of them, using the Bubbles he spat out to instantly flash and jump in front of Jiraiya.
"Our last battle isn't over yet, and this time, no one will help you." Bubble said calmly, looking at Jiraiya in the distance.
"Jump over him!"
Jiraiya had no time to argue with Bubble now, so he ordered Gamaken to jump directly over Bubble's head.
Seeing Jiraiya's movement, the six Chakra tails behind Bubble whipped forcefully.
The six tails instantly elongated, as if turning into chains, directly wrapping around Gamaken's legs.
Immediately after, Bubble's body secreted a large amount of highly corrosive liquid.
Before Gamaken could even jump, he felt an intense pain coming from his forelegs.
The next moment!
Boom!
Before Jiraiya could react, Gamaken transformed into a puff of white smoke and returned to Mount Myōboku.
Without Gamaken, Jiraiya fell directly from the air.
Fortunately, Jiraiya was still agile enough not to stumble.
He spun in the air and landed steadily, but Jiraiya's expression was quite grim as he looked at Bubble opposite him.
"If I told you I wasn't using my full strength in our last fight, would you believe me?"
Bubble's tone was as calm as ever as he spoke.
While Jiraiya was being held back by Bubble, Tsunade and Katsuyu on the other side were also stopped by Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru! How dare you do such a thing to Konoha!"
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, her face filled with anger.
"Long time no see, Tsunade."
Hearing Tsunade's angry voice, Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged; instead, his voice carried a hint of nostalgia.
"From today onwards, there will be no more Sannin in the Ninja World. Charge through, Katsuyu!"
Tsunade's voice was icy cold as she simultaneously commanded Katsuyu.
"Is that so? That's truly a pity." Orochimaru licked his lips, took out a kunai, and directly plunged it into his palm, a large amount of blood flowing out along the kunai.
"Your hemophobia probably hasn't healed yet, has it?"
Orochimaru pulled out the kunai from his hand, unconcerned by the flowing blood, and chuckled as he looked at Tsunade.
However, the next moment, Orochimaru's smile froze on his face as a fist rapidly enlarged before his eyes.
Bang!
He forcefully twisted his body, barely avoiding his head, allowing Tsunade's fist to strike his shoulder.
Orochimaru was sent flying directly, nearly tumbling off Manda's back.
"Cough…"
Orochimaru coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking at Tsunade with a surprised expression.
"My hemophobia hasn't healed, but I can just cast a genjutsu on myself so I don't see the blood."
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru with a cold sneer, though if anyone paid close attention, they could still see Tsunade's slightly trembling arm.
Although Tsunade cast a genjutsu on herself so she couldn't see the blood, this was ultimately just a visual, psychological illness that couldn't be overcome in a short time.
"I see. It seems this battle is unavoidable then."
Orochimaru licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, and said with a cold laugh.
On the other side.
As Tsunade and Jiraiya were respectively blocked by Orochimaru and Bubble.
The Three-Tails, with no one to stop it, completely formed its Tailed Beast Ball.
Boom!
The Tailed Beast Ball was directly fired towards Konoha.
