Tsunade gave Orochimaru a fierce glare, and then charged directly at Kakuzu.
She knew herself that this state was only maintained by anger and pain, and would not last long, and could fail at any time.
Before that, she had to smash one of the two S-rank missing-nin into small pieces.
As for other things, just leave it to Orochimaru.
They had been through life and death together countless times, and they should at least have this much understanding.
"Trouble, trouble, this bounty is really not that easy to get."
Kakuzu's face was calm as he retracted the eight giant black threads into his back. Facing the rushing Tsunade, the two masked monsters on his shoulders opened their mouths, spitting wind and fire respectively.
In the previous fight, he had fully understood Tsunade's unparalleled taijutsu and strength. Not to mention her current crazy appearance, in close combat, he was not her opponent.
It was unrealistic to quickly defeat her, but as long as he waited out Tsunade's burst period, she would just be a little woman afraid of blood, and he could kill her however he wanted.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The wind helped the fire, and the attack range of this ninjutsu was surprisingly large. Even with Tsunade's physique, she didn't dare to cross the sea of fire and had to retreat.
Taking advantage of this gap, Kakuzu summoned the other two masked monsters again. Four types of ninjutsu were ready to be launched, and he was ready to restrict Tsunade to within ten meters of himself.
If Tsunade was in a clear-headed state, she might still have the ability to break through his defense, but now she only had a trace of reason left, and was attacking with instinct. Against the experienced Kakuzu, there was no chance at all.
However, even so, she was dragging out the battle.
...
On the other side, the battle between Sasori and Orochimaru was also underway.
Whoosh...
The giant tail wrapped around with the sound of breaking wind, like a huge whip, and swung down towards Hiruko on the ground.
Faced with this intimidating power, Sasori's eyes narrowed, and six metal legs stretched out from under Hiruko, leaping up at the last moment.
Boom...
The earth roared, the soil and rocks cracked, and a long gully was left on the ground, but Hiruko was not in it.
Missing the strike, Manda was not discouraged. Its snake eyes contracted into pinpoints, searching for the enemy's figure like spotlights.
The giant tail swung continuously like a whip, giving the enemy no chance to breathe.
The ground shook, the earth trembled constantly, and a roar sounded in the forest. Hiruko dodged left and right like a flea.
As a puppet machine used to save his life, Sasori didn't add many attack methods to it, but he spared no effort in dodging and moving.
Therefore, although it seemed dangerous at this time, there was actually no danger to his life.
Of course, this was only when facing this giant snake summon, and Orochimaru, who was perched on its head, overlooking the battle below, had not yet made a move.
Inside Hiruko, Sasori's eyes flashed. The Third Kazekage puppet, shaking a pair of iron wings, extended several giant blades between its arms, and swooped down towards Orochimaru at lightning speed.
"Heh... I've been waiting for you."
Orochimaru sneered, drew a Kusanagi Sword from his waist, and when the Third Kazekage approached, he went from extremely still to extremely fast, and swung his sword to slash.
One-on-one, or even two-on-one, it was not difficult to defeat Sasori and Kakuzu. The fear was that these two guys would run away if they saw the situation was bad.
They were both old cowards who had maxed out their life-saving skills. Orochimaru could naturally see how quickly these two would escape once they started running.
Just like this Third Kazekage puppet, just the fact that it could fly made him helpless.
Therefore, before destroying Sasori and Kakuzu's will to fight, he had to either severely injure them instantly, or eliminate all their means of escape.
Orochimaru thought he couldn't do the first point, but the latter was still possible.
He had been gathering strength for a long time, and also used Sage Mode to strengthen his physical fitness. This time, he would defeat the Third Kazekage with one strike.
Whoosh...
In a flash, the Third Kazekage's flying figure shifted to the side, avoiding the tragedy of being cut in half.
However, the arm, including the giant blade, could not escape this strike. The tough sand iron armor shattered like thin paper.
Inside Hiruko, Sasori was expressionless. He himself was also a puppet, and didn't have this emotional function, but from his cold eyes, it was not difficult to see how bad his mood was.
Sasori also knew a lot about this Konoha's Orochimaru. After all, Sunagakure Village had fought with Konoha in several ninja wars, and he had been on the battlefield before he defected.
Whether it was in his memory or the information he collected later, it showed that Orochimaru was a ninjutsu-type ninja, and his taijutsu was only ordinary.
Therefore, Sasori didn't let the Third Kazekage puppet fight Orochimaru in ninjutsu, but directly engaged in close combat.
But he never expected that in just one exchange, the Third Kazekage's puppet would be severely damaged.
How was this possible?
A person's energy is limited, how could Orochimaru do both?
Suddenly, Sasori thought of the information circulating on the black market, information that he and Kakuzu regarded as nonsense.
"This bastard, he actually really seriously injured the Fourth Raikage?"
Sasori's eyes flickered, a little unbelievable, but judging from the performance of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki before and the power of Orochimaru's sword just now, it was probably true.
Thinking of this, Sasori didn't intend to continue fighting. The puppet was blocked by Manda, and he couldn't get rid of Orochimaru. If this continued, he himself would be in danger.
Earning bounties was just a game in his spare time, and he didn't have as much obsession with money as Kakuzu did. He couldn't risk his life for it.
"Magnet Release: Sand Iron World Method!"
Sasori decisively controlled the Third Kazekage puppet to use the most powerful move of Magnet Release.
Countless iron sand spewed out from the Third Kazekage's mouth, gathering into a ball in the air. The next moment, iron spears shot out from the iron ball, constantly branching out in the air, blocking all dodging areas from all directions, and shooting straight at Orochimaru above Manda's head, carrying the sharpness to pierce everything.
Orochimaru's eyes flashed, and his hands formed a hand seal, "Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!"
Rumble...
A stream of stone rose from the ground, like a wave rising from a calm sea, sweeping towards the iron spears.
The magnetic iron spears that ordinary Earth Release couldn't stop were actually slowed down in this stream of stone, as if they were trapped in a muddy swamp.
Sasori was shocked to see this scene. He knew the power of this style of Magnet Release, but he didn't expect it to be blocked.
But his goal had also been achieved. The Sand Iron World Method formed a scaffolding, completely blocking Manda's movements, and with the addition of this layer of mud, it was more like a complete cage.
So-called trapped like a silkworm, nothing more.
"Heh, we'll meet again next time."
Inside Hiruko, Sasori glanced at Orochimaru, controlled the Third Kazekage's puppet to rush straight down, preparing to pick him up and leave.
However, at this moment, a stream of mud and stone mixture sprayed straight towards the Third Kazekage.
