Chapter 264 Disadvantages of Sage Mode

Chapter 264 Disadvantages of Sage Mode

In the forest created by the advent of the tree world, the Third Hokage flew back and forth quickly, avoiding the pursuit of several Impure World Reincarnations.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

He was panting, sweating profusely, and his body was covered in blood. Less than ten minutes into the fight, he was already close to exhaustion.

Because the First and Second Hokage were not summoned in their complete state and their self-awareness was taken away by Orochimaru, the Third Hokage, who was a disciple and knew their abilities very well, was barely able to cope with them.

But the third summoned Impure World Reincarnation body was simply fatal to him, as Scorpion was fighting with his own will.

He was not obeying Orochimaru's orders, but just cooperating with Orochimaru again as a partner of Akatsuki. After all, attacking Konoha was also what he wanted to do.

When it comes to killing the Third Hokage, Scorpion worked extremely hard.

The Third Hokage did not have the super strength to destroy puppets. His ninjutsu was greatly restricted during the Tree World Advent. The Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God harassment was also very deadly, which made it impossible for him to directly attack the puppeteer Sasori.

So he had to face an endless army of puppets, including the deadly puppet of the Third Kazekage, whose magnetic escape technique almost took his life.

"Hehe, Sarutobi-sensei, are you a little tired of running?"

Orochimaru's sinister laughter came from the woods. He walked out from behind a tree and looked at the embarrassed appearance of the Third Hokage. Although he was smiling, there was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"Orochimaru, even if you kill me, you can't destroy Konoha!"

The Sandaime shouted when he saw Orochimaru, "And I will never let you go out and continue to cause trouble for Konoha!"

"Old man, you seem to have misunderstood something. Now you are the one who is struggling to survive while being hunted, not you who is tying us down here."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "At this point, how can you still be so confident that I can't destroy Konoha? Do you know who my partner is?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, "It's Lu-kun, the natural disaster that you and Danzo drove away has now descended on Konoha."

The third generation had an ugly expression on his face when he heard this. As the leader of Konoha, he naturally knew the inside story of Lu Li being driven away.

He drove Orochimaru away because his human experiments were too extreme, and the information was leaked out, so many villagers knew about it. As the Hokage, he had no way of hiding it, so he had no choice but to expel his disciple.

But what about Lu Li? He knew in his heart that this war hero of Konoha had no stains, and that massacring civilians was completely nonsense, not to mention conducting human experiments.

But considering that the advisory elder could not expose such a big stain, otherwise it would be a devastating blow to Konoha's overall image, and that Lu Li might threaten Minato's position at the time, he turned a blind eye and left the matter entirely to Danzo.

As a result, Lu Li was forced to defect, the young man he once was eventually fought back, and after eight years of imprisonment in Cloud Hidden, he no longer had the innocence he once had.

The third generation knew that they had created the demon of revenge with their own hands. He did not regret the decision he made back then. He only regretted not helping Danzo to make things happen and letting the traitor Lu Li go.

Just like Orochimaru in front of him, "Orochimaru, I really shouldn't have let you go."

Back then, he witnessed Orochimaru's human experiment with his own eyes. With his 'young and strong' strength and the cooperation of the action team, he was able to kill Orochimaru.

But in the end he couldn't bear to do it, and after just a few moves, he let Orochimaru go.

"But Lu Jun and I don't think so. We want to thank you for letting us go."

Orochimaru smiled unpleasantly, "It gave us a chance to come back."

"Orochimaru, have you guys had enough chatting? My time is valuable, you know that."

On the side, Scorpion landed next to Orochimaru with an unhappy look on his face.

He hates people who drag their feet in doing things, but he was quite quick and decisive when he assassinated the Third Kazekage.

"I'm sorry for taking up Scorpion-kun's time."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth, "Shut up, old man."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Sasori attacked the Third Hokage together.

The Sandaime's eyes narrowed when he saw this, knowing that he would not be able to escape death today, but he still shouted loudly so that all the ninjas who were still fighting in Konoha could hear him, "Orochimaru, you can't leave today, Jiraiya is still outside!"

As a Hokage, this is an act of weakness, but he must shout it out loud at this time to give a shot of adrenaline to the Konoha ninjas in the battle and let everyone know that the strongest person in Konoha now is not him, the old Hokage.

But Jiraiya, who is in his prime, will surely be able to lead everyone to turn the tide and defeat all invading enemies.

boom--

Just as the Third Hokage finished his words, a huge roar was heard, and the one-kilometer-long tree world was completely penetrated. Those hard towering trees broke one by one in the impact, and slowly fell down with wood chips flying.

The collision continued until it stopped near the edge of the tree world behind the Sandaime. The Sandaime looked at the figure that was blown away in shock. The iconic long white hair indicated his identity.

Jiraiya was actually beaten away! ?

Everyone at the scene was shocked by the sudden collision and all looked towards where Jiraiya was. Orochimaru stopped attacking with a smile, wanting to see the reaction of the Third Hokage.

The skin on Jiraiya's face became as rugged as a toad, with some red lines on his face. It was obvious that he had entered the Sage Mode, which surprised the Third Generation even more.

He knew his disciple's strength best. In terms of strength on a frontal battlefield, Jiraiya, who had mastered the Sage Mode, was the undisputed number one among the three ninjas.

But now Jiraiya who had entered the Sage Mode was actually beaten away, so embarrassed that the Third Hokage could not believe it. Jiraiya struggled to get up from the ground and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. Even with his deliberate protection, the Sage Fukasaku Shima on his shoulder was also slightly injured in the impact just now.

"Little Jiraiya, the enemy is very difficult. We may not be able to help you maintain Sage Mode."

Fukasaku Sennin spoke, with blood at the corner of his mouth.

"What are you talking about, kid? Without Sage Mode, little Jiraiya will die too."

Shima Sennin said, his eyes worried.

Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said, "Don't blame the two immortals, blame me for not practicing well enough."

His Sage Mode is indeed very powerful. Compared with Lu Li's Sage Mode, it is obvious that his Sage Chakra is more sufficient and his physique is stronger, but he has a fatal problem.

That is, he did not enter the Sage Mode by his own strength, he has obvious weaknesses.

In Sage Mode, his resistance is indeed very high, and he is not very afraid of Lu Li's lightning, but the same cannot be said for the two Sages, Fukasaku and Shima.

The electric current in battle will cause great damage to them, and no one can continue to condense natural chakra while being electrocuted.

Therefore, Jiraiya's Sage Mode is very unstable now. Once Sage Shima Fukasaku can't hold on, his Sage Chakra will be directly cut off, and then he will not be able to fight Lu Li.

"Hey, Orochimaru, Sasori, why is it that the efficiency of you old partners is so low?"

Lu Li took quick steps and flew through the air, walking slowly from behind. Although his coat had many holes, he looked neat and did not look injured.

“I hate inefficiency, too.”

Scorpion said unhappily, "Orochimaru was too slow and talked to the old man for too long."

Lu Li glanced at Orochimaru and said, "Senior, you are not still sentimental about our teacher, are you?"

As if his tail was stepped on, Orochimaru laughed sinisterly twice, his eyes became vicious, "Of course not, Lu Jun, go and do your thing, I will finish this battlefield soon."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li stopped talking and walked towards Jiraiya's direction without even looking at the Third Hokage who was facing a formidable enemy.

He had no interest in bullying the elderly, and a ninjutsu-type ninja like the Third Hokage was not someone he wanted to fight at all.

The Prisoner drew a dark red sword light in the dim forest, and the thunder arrived before the sword light, making it impossible for Sage Fukasaku Shima to help Jiraiya condense the senjutsu chakra.

The battle between ninjas is a competition of tactics and finding the opponent's weaknesses. Lu Li had just been punched by Emperor Kai. Considering that Obito, the old scoundrel, might be peeping in the dark, Lu Li didn't dare to play with Jiraiya for too long.

So after exchanging a few moves with Jiraiya who was in his peak Sage Mode, he decided to end the battle quickly and defeat Konoha's top fighter first.

"Immortal magic. Thousands of hair needles!"

Facing Lu Li's attack, Jiraiya released his magic, hardening his hair and launching it as fast as a storm.

This move had a wide coverage area in order to prevent Lu Li from using extreme speed to dodge. Ziraiya did not expect this move to kill Lu Li, but it was necessary to curb Lu Li's offensive and give the two immortals a chance to condense natural energy for him.

However, his violent attack did not work. Lu Li's body turned while charging, as if he had turned into a huge vortex of attraction, stirring up everything in the world. The strong wind distorted the route of Qianben's Qianjin, and it gathered towards where Lu Li was with the air flow, circling around him.

Lu Li was like the eye of a storm, and was not affected by external objects. He moved forward with this force, and the power in the vortex twisted thousands of books, and actually shot them all back!
Secret sword technique - Na Baichuan!

Seeing this, Jiraiya didn't care about being horrified, and quickly formed a seal again, cooperating with the two sages on his shoulders to perform a powerful ninjutsu, "Senjutsu: Goemon!"

Jiraiya spit out oil, Fukasaku Sage used wind jutsu, and Shima Sage used fire jutsu. The three techniques combined to produce a huge fire tornado. The temperature instantly reached several thousand degrees. This was the most powerful ninjutsu they mastered.

Faced with such a high temperature storm, the thousands of swords that were shot at him were directly melted. Lu Li did not dare to resist. He turned his sword around, adjusted his body shape, and slashed out again.

The dark red blade matched the starry night, and at the end of yin and yang, the sword was slashed out.

Slashing back from bottom to top, the huge flame storm was split by Lu Li like a tide, passing through ten meters on both sides of him, burning the tree world created by Hashirama, and the nearby trees were instantly turned into charcoal and burned.

Lu Li seemed to be standing in the middle of two walls of fire. The air on both sides was distorted due to the high temperature, making him look somewhat unreal.

The red dragon scales looked even more hideous under the reflection of the flames. In the Thor mode, the long dark red hair stood upside down, and the twisted figure in the flames looked like a Shura walking out of purgatory.

"Little Jiraiya, why are all the rebel ninjas in Konoha so strong?"

Immortal Fukasaku looked at Lu Li and said solemnly.

"What mistake did he make to get him kicked out?"

Zhima Xianren was a bit gossipy. Even in such an emergency situation, he still wanted to know Lu Li's past.

"I……"

Jiraiya was speechless for a moment, thinking how do I know why Konoha's rebel ninja is so strong? Moreover, he remembered that Lu Li didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Although the record pointed out the crime of natural disasters, he didn't think that it was something that natural disasters could do. Most of them had hidden reasons.

He knew that the other party had a grudge against Konoha, but he couldn't just sit back and watch Lu Li destroy Konoha, so he had to fight to the death.
