Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Water Release: Water Whip!"
...Excellent! The battlefield truly suits me best.
In just a few minutes, Lin Yu had already copied at least a dozen Ninjutsu. Because he possessed all five elements, as long as it wasn't a Bloodline Limit, Taijutsu, or a relatively high-level Ninjutsu, he basically accepted everything, the more the better.
Why haven't I seen Tsunade and the others yet? Due to the butterfly effect of a transmigrator, he wasn't sure if the Sannin's famous battle would undergo any changes.
Lin Yu felt some concern for Tsunade in his heart. For this one of his few friends, Lin Yu still cared a lot. Hmm, just a little less than Kushina!
No longer overthinking, his figure swiftly swept past the ongoing battle ahead. He had no intention of supporting the Konoha Ninja; finding Tsunade was urgent. Tsunade must be fighting Hanzou, and he still had a mission to complete. If he couldn't complete it this time, it would be difficult to get another chance...Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Three disheveled figures gasped for breath in the ravaged battlefield. Their ninja armor was already tattered. They were Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.
The three of them had dozens of wounds of varying sizes, the most severe being Tsunade, who had a deep new knife wound on her left leg.
Their Chakra was severely depleted, and they felt faintly exhausted, but the three of them dared not show the slightest flaw.
They had fully understood the value of the Ninja World's 'Demigod'. In this era, with Uchiha Madara not appearing, it was difficult to find an opponent who could defeat him one-on-one.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Third Raikage, in their prime, might be able to fight him to a draw; even the Third Kazekage, who was rated as the strongest of all time, was slightly inferior.
Gamabunta, Manda, and the Giant Salamander had both been injured and returned to the Summoning Realm. At this moment, only the four of them stood on the battlefield.
"Good, very good! You are the most talented youngsters I have ever seen. To be able to fight me to this extent is truly commendable."
Although they were enemies, Hanzou's admiration grew. He took off his mask and blurted out, "I, Hanzou, the 'Demigod' of the Ninja World, declare you the 'Sannin' of Konoha."
"Tch! Who wants you to bestow titles upon us? This Toad Sage disdains your praise," Jiraiya muttered, dragging his scarred body, pouting.
He had the most scars, but his attitude was also the most arrogant.
"However, today is the day of your Sannin's conferment, and also the Sannin's final glory!" As soon as he finished speaking, Hanzou quickly formed hand signs. Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, only seeing a blur. He froze, then roared, "Be careful, retreat quickly!"
"Too late! Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" A massive water dragon gathered around Hanzou, forming a ferocious, enormous dragon head that was countless times more powerful than the one unleashed by the Upper-Rank Ninja in Black Clothes. Combined with the Land of Rain's perpetually rainy environment, this B-rank Water Dragon Bullet Technique had a power comparable to an A+-rank Ninjutsu.
The ferocious water dragon swiftly swooped down from high in the sky, striking at the Sannin's feet, causing the three to scatter and struggle to resist the rushing water.
Their already insufficient stamina reached its limit. After barely resisting the water dragon's impact, Jiraiya looked up at his teammates and suddenly saw a figure, screaming, "Tsunade, get out of the way!"
Orochimaru's pupils also constricted. His body, which had just stabilized, immediately rushed towards Tsunade, sighing in his heart, 'Damn it, it's too late.'
"Die!" Hanzou instantly appeared behind Tsunade, his sickle slashing towards her neck, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty excitement.
Damn it! I can't dodge. My body won't obey. Tsunade already felt the bone-chilling sharpness behind her, but her body had reached its limit and couldn't move at all.
Am I going to die? Tsunade's mind suddenly flashed with various figures: her great-grandfather, her great-granduncle, Grandma Mito, her younger brother Senju Nawaki, her teammates...and Uzumaki Lin Yu. Heh, that kid is still in the Medical Unit, right? I haven't properly said goodbye to him. The special secret recipe he gave me hasn't taken effect yet, what a pity...A faint blush appeared on Tsunade's pale face. What's wrong with me? Why am I thinking about such things at a time like this?
The cold sickle was about to reap a vibrant life, and her fair skin tingled as if it had already been cut.
Suddenly, there was a sound from underground. "Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu!" A pair of hands grabbed Tsunade's ankles, yanking her underground, narrowly avoiding the sickle.
"Who's there!" Hanzou's sure-kill attack missed. His eyes fiercely glared at the two figures who burst out of the ground in the distance.
The one who saved Tsunade was Lin Yu, who had just arrived. He used the Earth Release he had just copied to dive underground, intending to avoid the impact of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique. Unexpectedly, he coincidentally saved Tsunade, who fell on top of him.
Lin Yu let out a slight sigh of relief, feeling a wave of lingering fear. Looking at Tsunade, who was pale and had her beautiful eyes closed in his arms, his hands touched something sticky. He knew it was blood, and he even felt the deep, bone-deep knife scar.
Lin Yu's heart was filled with extreme anger. This was the first time he had such an urgent desire to kill. However, thinking of the gap between them, he suppressed the thought in his heart and decided to complete the mission first.
Gently putting down Tsunade, who he was carrying in a princess carry, his hands glowed with a faint green light, touching Tsunade's smooth, pink back, treating her carefully.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru also rushed to their side, letting out a slight sigh of relief as they saw Tsunade in Lin Yu's arms.
"You are...Uzumaki Lin Yu?" Orochimaru looked at Lin Yu's young face, thought for a moment, and said hoarsely.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru. I'll treat Tsunade first. You two hold off Hanzou for now. We can discuss the rest after the battle ends."
"Mm." Orochimaru understood that now was not the time to ask why Uzumaki Lin Yu, a Medical Ninja, was on the battlefield. The most important thing at hand was to deal with Hanzou.
"Thank you, Kid Lin Yu." Compared to Orochimaru, Jiraiya was much more enthusiastic, looking at Lin Yu gratefully.
Huh? Am I dead? Is this the Pure Land? The person in front of me is so familiar. Oh, it's Uzumaki Lin Yu...What! Uzumaki Lin Yu!
Tsunade suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, looking at the serious young man in front of her. His clear and gentle face held a hint of handsomeness. Feeling that she was in his arms, her face couldn't help but turn red again.
She propped herself up and sat leaning against Lin Yu to make her posture less awkward.
"Lin Yu, why are you on the battlefield? I remember I didn't tell you..."
"Shut up! Focus on healing and conserve your strength. I'll explain the situation to you later."
Tsunade pouted her small mouth and said nothing more. She also realized that now was not the time to waste time and stamina. As for Lin Yu scolding her, she planned to settle the score with him later!
"Oh, my Chakra has recovered too." Tsunade was surprised to find that her originally depleted Chakra was recovering at an astonishing speed.
As for the recovery of the wounds on her back, she wasn't surprised. If she wasn't in a battle, she could easily heal this level of injury, but it would consume a large amount of Chakra, which would be suicidal in battle. So, in battle, she could only provide auxiliary healing for her teammates' injuries.
It could be said that if it weren't for Tsunade, the three of them would have been defeated long ago. But even so, with Tsunade's Senju Clan physique, her Chakra was almost at rock bottom.
"This is a unique ability of the Uzumaki Clan. It can help people quickly replenish Chakra, but the consumption is relatively high. Hurry, you go replace Orochimaru. Let's deal with Hanzou first." Lin Yu's expression was very solemn; whether he could complete the mission depended on the situation that followed.
Tsunade didn't ask further. She gently swung her arm. Although she hadn't fully recovered, her Chakra had recovered by two-thirds, which was enough.
"Orochimaru, switch out. I'm going to beat this old sly fox, Hanzou, to death." Tsunade yelled at Orochimaru, then punched Hanzou, joining the battle.
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade in surprise, then flashed out of the battle, panting as he came to Lin Yu's side, saying hoarsely, "Lin Yu-kun..."
"Lord Orochimaru, please rest assured. I can help you heal your injuries and restore your Chakra. Please sit down here." Lin Yu smiled at Orochimaru, baring his teeth.
"The unique physique of the Uzumaki Clan? Interesting." Orochimaru looked at Lin Yu with interest and sat on the ground, allowing Lin Yu to do as he pleased.
After a while, Orochimaru felt his Chakra, which had almost completely recovered, and looked at Lin Yu with a surprised expression: "Lin Yu-kun is truly astonishing."
"Hey, hey! Orochimaru, are you done yet? It's my turn, isn't it!" Jiraiya dodged Hanzou's attacks, jumping left and right, his face bruised and swollen. He looked at Tsunade, who was fighting Hanzou back and forth, and felt depressed.
Then he saw that Orochimaru had already recovered but seemed to still be planning to chat with Lin Yu. He got anxious! He also wanted a healer, oh no, a daddy healer, to get some health back. Being suppressed and beaten felt too miserable.
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, not embarrassed. With Lin Yu as their daddy healer, the pressure on him had greatly decreased.
In close combat, Tsunade can completely suppress Hanzou; Jiraiya and Orochimaru just need to cast Ninjutsu from the side to prevent Hanzou from using Body Flicker to ambush them.
Once their Chakra is depleted, they can come back to Lin Yu for replenishment.
The battle is already locked; even if they can't kill Hanzou, they won't lose, and they can even take over the battlefield at full strength when Hanzou retreats!
Pfft!
Jiraiya jumped down next to Lin Yu, simply lay on the ground, and grinned at Lin Yu with a face swollen like a pig's head: "Kid Lin Yu, hurry! I can't wait, I want revenge!"
Lin Yu quite appreciates Jiraiya's straightforward and unpretentious personality.
He's also a little curious about the charm of icha icha paradise that Jiraiya will publish in the future, which makes Kakashi so fond of it.
Damn it! What's going on? First Tsunade, then Orochimaru.
Why have they all fully recovered? Is it because of that brat?
Hanzou felt very frustrated and regretful.
He didn't care about Medical Ninja, so when he saw Lin Yu helping Tsunade and the others recover from their injuries, he was very disdainful and didn't stop him.
Even if their injuries recovered, what good would it do? Depleted Chakra was no different from a lamb to the slaughter.
But now he regretted it; Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, who had just joined the battle, were all full of vigor.
Even if they weren't fully recovered, they had at least recovered most of their Chakra.
Although he could still suppress them, this feeling was very stifling; he had barely crippled one, and then they were revived to full strength shortly after.
This really made him uncomfortable; he felt a fire cooped up inside that couldn't be released.
Hmph, he had to find an opportunity to deal with that brat.
He forced Tsunade back with a kick, then slammed his palm onto the ground.
"Fire Release: Exploding Flame Array!" A large number of exploding tags surged from the ground, entangling the Sannin.
"Retreat!" Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya quickly dodged backward.
Hanzou gave a sinister smile: "Explode!" A large number of exploding tags detonated, creating a towering Firelight.
The ground trembled, and countless rocks flew, while the Sannin evaded the impact of the explosion and the flying debris.
When the dust settled, Hanzou's figure had already vanished.
"Oh no! Lin Yu is in danger." Tsunade saw Hanzou disappear and immediately thought of Lin Yu, rushing towards Lin Yu's location.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru's expressions also changed, following closely behind her.
Hanzou's figure quickly moved through the rubble, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the young figure not far away.
He never expected the exploding tags to cause damage to the Sannin; he merely used them to obscure vision and force them to retreat.
His target was Uzumaki Lin Yu! Only by eliminating this 'healer' could he regain control of the situation.
He watched the figure getting closer and closer, seemingly startled by his arrival, standing motionless, with a terribly pale face, as if he hadn't expected him to come.
Hanzou didn't think much of it; a Medical Ninja so far from the battlefield was no match for him in a single move.
He raised the sickle in his hand and easily slashed across Lin Yu's neck.
Hanzou seemed to see blood splattering and a head falling to the ground, a ferocious smile clearly visible on his face.
Tsunade and the other two, who had just arrived, saw this scene and immediately roared in anger: "No! Hanzou, how dare you!"
Tsunade's roar didn't affect the speed of Hanzou's swing at all; the sickle instantly slashed across Lin Yu's neck.
Bang! Lin Yu, whose neck was severed, turned into a puddle of water.
At this moment, the mud beneath Hanzou's feet instantly cracked open, and a hand wrapped in a light blue glow emerged from the ground, stabbing towards Hanzou's chest.
Pfft! Blood splattered, and Hanzou's figure appeared more than ten meters away, with a long gash on his chest that almost pierced through his body.
In that critical moment, Hanzou's body reflexively leaned backward, causing the hand, which was originally aimed at his right chest, to slice across his right chest all the way to his shoulder, leaving a deep wound.
"Water Clone?" Hanzou felt a shiver of fear; death had been just a step away.
If not for his body's conditioned reflex in the face of danger, he would have been severely wounded and on the verge of death just now.
At this moment, Tsunade and the other two had already arrived beside Lin Yu, and seeing that Lin Yu was unharmed, they each breathed a sigh of relief.
Tsunade patted her unremarkable chest and said sharply, "You scared me to death just now, Lin Yu.
Don't do such dangerous things again next time."
"Alright." Lin Yu looked at Hanzou with a regretful expression.
He had kept his Kagura Mind's Eye open, observing the battlefield, and when he sensed Hanzou's Chakra moving rapidly towards him, he left a Water Clone in his original spot.
Then, his real body used Earth Release to hide underground and used his newly acquired reward, the Chakra Scalpel, to launch a sneak attack.
He didn't intend to kill Hanzou right now, so he aimed for his right chest, planning to force him to grant him a title after he was incapacitated and captured, then kill him after completing the mission.
It was just a pity that Hanzou, as expected of the "Demigod" of the Ninja World, reacted incredibly quickly to danger.
Hanzou also recovered at this point, understanding Lin Yu's plan.
He didn't know Lin Yu had Kagura Mind's Eye; he only knew that the opponent had left a clone on the surface and his real body was hiding underground with Earth Release.
What a cowardly—no, a sinister brat!
As he felt his breathing gradually becoming difficult and his chest growing increasingly uncomfortable, Hanzou's expression suddenly changed.
"Did you notice? I used a Chakra Scalpel to sever the meridians from your chest to your shoulder.
If you don't treat it quickly, you might die from breathing difficulties, you know," Lin Yu said calmly.
"You hateful brat."
"Tch! The 'Demigod' of the Ninja World is nothing special.
He can't even tell the difference between a clone and the real body.
It seems the title of Demigod is nothing but an exaggeration after all," Lin Yu said with a playful look on his face.
Hanzou nearly spat out another mouthful of old blood upon hearing this.
Recalling the frustration during the battle and the terror of almost being ambushed to death just now, Hanzou finally couldn't help but retort venomously, "You hateful brat, your name is Uzumaki Lin Yu, isn't it?
I, Hanzou, hereby bestow upon you the title of 'Most Sinister Healer' of the Ninja World!"
Lin Yu's expression became excited upon hearing this.
"Finally, I've waited for you.
Good thing I didn't give up.
I like this title!"
Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya looked at the excited Lin Yu in surprise.
This seemed to be a derogatory title, didn't it?
Tsunade couldn't help but wonder silently, 'Does Lin Yu have some peculiar hobbies?'
"Stop wasting words with him.
Strike while the iron is hot; today is your death day, Hanzou."
Jiraiya gestured to Orochimaru and Tsunade, then quickly rushed towards Hanzou.
"Heh, you're still too naive if you think you can kill me."
Hanzou clutched his chest, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, his expression not at all flustered.
He formed a hand seal with one hand, and the ground beneath him quickly cracked.
A Giant Salamander burst out of the ground, swallowed Hanzou in one gulp, twisted its body, and then submerged back into the earth, disappearing.
"Damn it, just a little more!" Jiraiya angrily punched the ground, his expression quite unwilling.
"After all, he is the 'Demigod' of the Ninja World; he's not that easy to kill.
However, what surprised me was Lin Yu-kun.
To be able to inflict that kind of damage on Hanzou, even if he was careless, is still very difficult to achieve."
Although Orochimaru also felt a bit of pity, he was more surprised by Uzumaki Lin Yu's reaction.
One must know that at only ten years old, he dared to outsmart the notoriously cautious Hanzou of the Ninja World; both courage and wisdom were indispensable.
He was becoming more and more interested in him.
"It was just a fluke.
I wouldn't dare to try it again," Lin Yu said with a modest smile.
The mission was complete, and he was completely unconcerned about Hanzou's life or death.
At worst, he could go to the Land of Rain later and kill him.
To be frank, completing the Hanzou mission made Lin Yu feel relieved.
With the ability to use the Rinnegan without Chakra consumption, he dared to say that currently, no one in the Ninja World could defeat him within two hours, including Uchiha Madara.
Of course, the Old Man Sage of Six Paths' family doesn't count.
Below Uchiha Madara, whoever comes will die.
With a life-saving trump card, Lin Yu became much more optimistic, no longer needing to be so cautious in many things.
"Hey, you three, stop daydreaming over there.
The war isn't over yet; we still need to support other units."
Tsunade looked at the three people in front of her, speechless.
Jiraiya was punching the ground in regret, Orochimaru was staring at Uzumaki Lin Yu with an auntie smile, and Uzumaki Lin Yu was staring at the sky, giggling foolishly.
If the war hadn't still been ongoing, she would have definitely gone up and slapped each of them to knock some sense into them!
Orochimaru regained his composure, glanced at Jiraiya, then spoke to Lin Yu: "Lin Yu-kun, you should go back first.
The battle situation is already decided, and we no longer need to trouble Lin Yu-kun."
"That's right, Kid Lin Yu, you go back first.
I don't have time to protect you on the battlefield," Tsunade said with a worried expression, but her words were anything but polite.
Lin Yu's purpose in coming to the battlefield had been achieved, and he had pretty much copied all the Ninjutsu.
He had no intention of staying.
At this point, Orochimaru should still have the goal of becoming Hokage, so he wouldn't steal his military achievements.
After escorting Lin Yu for a distance, the three bid him farewell and returned to the battlefield.
