Chapter 233 Ishikawa's Secret Weapon, Rin of the Dark Side
"What?! They're still alive after being burned to death?!"
Seeing the rain of Fuma Shuriken breaking through the sea of fire and arriving in the blink of an eye, Shukaku's smile froze, and he instinctively raised his arms to protect himself.
The next instant, there were a series of "poof poof poof" sounds as hundreds of wind demon shuriken crackling with lightning pierced its body, tearing open gashes, and then disappeared with a series of "bang bang bang" sounds!
But that's all there is to it.
Although this move left Shukaku covered in wounds, the wounds healed in the blink of an eye thanks to the tailed beast chakra.
"Hehehe, no wonder Gaara let me out, you're definitely not an ordinary brat. But now, die for me..." Shukaku released his arms, grinned maliciously, formed hand seals, and opened his mouth to fire another empty bullet into the sea of fire.
As the high-pressure wind bomb swept past again, the fire stream on the other side was instantly dispersed and expanded, but Guiya Luo was nowhere to be seen.
"They ran away??" Shukaku stared wide-eyed at the empty, scorched earth, shouting in displeasure. "I finally got out, and I haven't had enough fun yet! How can it end like this?! Come out here, you brat, get out here right now!!"
Roaring angrily, Shukaku opened its mouth and spat out small wind bullets to clear the battlefield. The super strong wind pressure swept across the entire area, determined to force Ishikawa out.
"As expected, it's still too much of a challenge for me to face a Tailed Beast with my current strength! And that's without it using a nuclear weapon like the Tailed Beast Ball. No wonder the nine Tailed Beasts are called weapons of war..." Ishikawa, who was underground and had activated the Earth Reflection Technique, sighed as he saw this through his red eyes.
He had just used a clever trick to dispel the summoning the moment the sea of fire enveloped him and Kiyora, while simultaneously unleashing his strongest wide-range ninjutsu.
Unexpectedly, his all-out attack still failed to cause any fundamental damage to Shukaku.
This is quite awkward. Weak ninjutsu is useless against tailed beasts, and even powerful ninjutsu will exhaust the user after only a few uses. This is the terrifying aspect of tailed beasts!
“Our chakra is almost depleted, so we’ll just have to wait for Sasuke and Karin to arrive! But before that…” Ishikawa glanced at Karin, Sasuke, and Lee, who were being intercepted by Sunagakure, and then took out a grayish-white dumpling the size of a rice ball.
[Whether we can temporarily suppress Shukaku depends on this!] Ishikawa thought to himself, his red eyes flashing crimson, and he quickly crept towards Shukaku's location.
Meanwhile, in eastern Konoha.
"hiss……"
"Boom... Rumble..."
"Bang bang... Clang... Boom..."
The three-headed giant serpent stormed into the village, wreaking havoc with unbridled abandon. Its enormous size and rock-like scales allowed it to completely ignore ordinary attacks, crushing countless houses and buildings as if a natural disaster had struck!
"Is this the helplessness of ordinary people when facing large summoned beasts? No wonder those three are called the legendary Sannin. No, we still have to find a way to stop it." Ibiki wiped the sweat from his forehead, frowned, and gritted his teeth, as he was about to order his subordinates to set up new traps.
But just as he was about to speak, a beautiful figure suddenly leaped up from the ruins, shouting, "You stinking snake, don't even think about taking another step forward, ha!!"
Ibiki heard a familiar yet unfamiliar shout, and then a female member of the Anbu appeared above the right head of the three-headed snake, kicking it directly down onto the top of the giant snake's head...
"Is this guy looking for death?" Ibiki frowned instinctively and was about to teleport to save the other person, but just as he was about to move...
"boom……"
To everyone's astonishment, the giant snake's head slammed into the ground as if struck by a tremendous force, spitting out blood...
Ibixi, who was closest, saw that the spot where the snake's head had been kicked had cracked and sunken into a large area, leaving it a bloody mess.
"This...this power...could she be that master's disciple?" Upon seeing this, Ibiki was overjoyed, and a majestic figure instantly appeared in his mind.
But when did such a genius ninja appear in the Anbu?
"Ibiki, leave this monster to me. You quickly organize the others to resist the invaders." Nohara Rin, disguised as an ANBU member, urged Ibiki when she saw him standing there in a daze.
Have all these people grown taller over the years but not more capable or intelligent? What are you doing here, just standing there daydreaming!
She wouldn't have acted rashly if it weren't for the fact that this place was so close to the Ishikawa family and that the Jonin leading the team was her classmate Ibiki.
"Are you sure one person can handle it?" Ibi asked instinctively, looking at Lin with suspicion.
Although this secret service unit had just taken down one of the snake heads with a single move, there were still two more left, and they were now on high alert, watching her intently.
Just as Ibiki was questioning, the other two snake heads reacted at the same time, opening their ferocious mouths and biting Nohara Rin directly.
"Don't even think about succeeding." Nohara Rin's eyes sharpened upon seeing this, and she quickly conjured a bright blue orb in her hand, ready to charge at the snake...
But at that very moment, the "Spirit Communication - Crush the Vendors Technique" was activated.
Suddenly, a wild, unrestrained shout echoed throughout the arena. With a deafening roar, dust billowed, and Toad Guang, carrying two swords, descended from the sky, crushing the two snake heads flat!
Under the astonished gazes of Ibiki and Nohara Rin, the newcomer tossed his long white hair and struck a rather flamboyant and exaggerated pose, "You little snakes who are being glared at by frogs, cease your insolence! The Toad Sage from beyond the heavens has officially arrived..."
"Lord Jiraiya??"
"Lord Jiraiya!!"
Almost instantly after the sound faded, Ibiki and Rin Nohara turned around and gasped in surprise. The Rasengan in Rin's hand vanished instantly, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief…
As long as Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, is there, Orochimaru's conspiracy will not succeed!
"Kid, are you Tsunade's disciple??" Just then, Jiraiya ignored Ibiki's surprise and asked.
First Tsunade's superhuman strength, and now Minato's Rasengan. What's going on with this Anbu girl?
Could she be another genius secretly nurtured by the old man?
"I have to go support other places, so I'll leave this place to you, Jiraiya-sama." Nohara Rin mumbled, then quickly teleported away to avoid being discovered by Jiraiya.
Although she was disguised by a dark mask, her true identity couldn't really withstand close scrutiny.
After glancing at the enraged Shukaku on the back mountain of Konoha, Nohara Rin gritted her teeth and rushed over. Although Ishikawa had asked her to come and help guard the house, how could she ignore Ishikawa's safety in this situation!
Anyway, with Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, stationed here, as long as the Sand Village Sound Ninja doesn't go blind, they won't continue their advance from this side. Plus, the shadow clones left in the room should be fine just for guarding the base.
"Ibiki, do you know who that ANBU is?" Jiraiya frowned and turned to ask, watching Nohara Rin's retreating figure.
Although everything the other party did was in the style of the Anbu and they were protecting Konoha, he still felt like something was off...
"I don't know, but now is not the time to talk about that. Lord Jiraiya, the Third Hokage is still at the Chunin Tournament venue."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing Ibiki's reminder, Jiraiya's expression turned serious, and he turned to look at the distance with a complicated gaze.
Orochimaru finally made his move...
Old man, please don't die!
