Chapter 516 Battle Situation
When Seiji brought Black Zetsu back to the Hidden Mist Village, the battle between the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village reached its climax.
According to Yagura's deployment before the battle, Xiguashan Puffer Demon brandished the broadsword Samehada and went straight to the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. This time, he was determined to decide the real victory or defeat between him and Rasa.
The Third Mizukage Bing started with a large-scale "Water Style: Exploding Water Wave", which cleared out the nearby Sand Village ninjas and also separated Chiyo and Ebizo from the Sand Village troops.
After all, performing large-scale water-based ninjutsu in a waterless environment, especially in such an extremely dry desert environment, can be said to be a traditional skill of successive Mizukages.
Afterwards, Togusa Nobito, who followed Bing, stepped on the water waves and rushed directly towards the puppets released by Chiyo and Ebizo from the sealing scroll. Blunt Knife·Douqie performed it with great vigor. For a moment, the puppet's fragments flew everywhere...!
As for the rest of the Kirigakure ninjas, they were led by three ninja swordsmen, Biwa Juzo, Kurishai Kushimaru and Murashige Shinpachi, and joined the Sand Village troops.
Although each Kirigakure ninja will face two to three Sand Village ninjas or even more at the same time, one must know that all Kirigakure ninjas participating in the battle are elite, and at the very least they are all special jonins. Therefore, even if it is one against many, the Kirigakure ninjas will gain the upper hand right from the start.
What's more, the Kirigakure side has three Kage-level ninja swordsmen who can be said to be tigers among a flock of sheep. On the other hand, the Sunagakure side, with Rasa, Chiyo and Ebizo all being held back, they do not have the combat power to stop all three ninja swordsmen.
After all, with the blessing of the ninja sword, the Sand Village has to pay the combat power of at least three elite jonin to withstand the rampage of a ninja swordsman with a ninja sword in hand. Therefore, this result has emerged. The Sand Village can either sit back and watch the ninja swordsmen continue to roam wildly in their formation and slaughter people wantonly, or they have to pay a large amount of high-end combat power to fight against them!
The Sand Village's choice was of course the latter, but this also caused a chain reaction. The Sand Village, which did not have much high-end combat power, was even more embarrassed in this situation. Although they still had a huge advantage in numbers, their overall strength was not up to par and they were eventually suppressed by the Kirigakure!

On the other side, the people of Konoha were launching the first round of concentrated fire attacks on Yagura who was restrained in place by the shadow!
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!!!"
"Fire Style: Flame Bullet!!!"
"Combined Ninjutsu: Blazing Wave!!!"
Jiraiya and Orochimaru cooperated with each other. In an instant, the wind helped the fire, and the scorching hot flames rushed towards Yagura like a volcanic eruption. Wherever they passed, the air was distorted by the extreme high temperature, as if it was about to melt under this horrible heat.
Although this is just a combination of ordinary C-level wind ninjutsu and C-level fire ninjutsu, but in the hands of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, two Kage-level powerhouses, it has a power far beyond that of ordinary B-level ninjutsu!
However, this was no threat to Yagura. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and the next second, the Three-Tails' Chakra instantly exploded, accompanied by a scarlet chakra beam that shot up into the sky. Yagura forcibly broke free from Nara Shikaku's "Shadow Binding Technique", and then, facing the surging sea of fire, rushed straight towards Jiraiya!
After all, how could a mere ordinary combination ninjutsu break through his tailed beast coat and cause damage to him? It would be more effective if it were the Mangekyō Sharingan's eye technique "Amaterasu"!
"Teacher Jiraiya! Be careful!" Minato Namikaze, who was recovering on the side, saw the situation and immediately reminded loudly.
The fight with Yagura just now and the repeated use of "Flying Thunder God Technique" to jump through time and space consumed a lot of chakra. In addition, he also used the Sage Mode, which he was not good at. In order to break Yagura's defense, he poured a large amount of Sage Chakra into the "Rasengan". Therefore, his condition was not very good at the moment!
Even though Namikaze Minato could enter Sage Mode in seconds by himself and was very proficient in the use of Sage Arts, he was not very good at Sage Arts or Sage Mode. After all, his Sage Mode was very unstable and lasted for a very short time, with no endurance at all.
However, because of this, the destruction of Mount Myoboku did not have much impact on Minato Namikaze's overall strength. At most, it just made him lose the means to summon giant summoned beasts.
On the other hand, although Jiraiya's strength can still be maintained at the level of Kage, without the support of Myoboku Mountain, many of his methods and ninjutsu can be said to be useless, and his most powerful magic has lost its original effectiveness due to the deaths of the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima.
You know, he had never learned the Sage Mode well. Not only did it take a very long time to prepare to enter, but the duration of it was also very short. Therefore, he took a shortcut through the "Two Lives Technique". Although it still took a long time to activate, with the assistance of the two sages of Mount Myōboku, he theoretically had almost unlimited endurance.
But now, everything is ruined...!
The Sage Mode, which takes a long time to activate, is useless to Jiraiya now and cannot be used in battle at all. After all, who would be a good person and watch him condense Sage Chakra to enter Sage Mode!
-----------------
(Minato Namikaze admitted that he was not good at Sage Arts during the Fourth War. When fighting Six Paths Madara, although he activated Sage Mode in seconds, he immediately exited Sage Mode after being hit by Six Paths Madara. So his "not good at" probably refers to the fact that Sage Mode is unstable and not long-lasting enough.)
