At that moment, Tsunade quickly threw a bottle of Antidote to Orochimaru.
After catching the Antidote, Orochimaru thanked Tsunade and then threw the entire glass bottle directly into Manda's massive mouth.
Within moments, the symptoms of poisoning on Manda's body were suppressed.
Witnessing this scene, the Salamander pondered briefly before directly returning to the Summoning World.
Facing Katsuyu, Gamabunta, and Manda alone was already challenging enough, not to mention Charizard hovering menacingly in the sky.
Thus, to save its own life, the Salamander chose to abandon its master without hesitation.
Hanzo's originally calm expression instantly turned grim. He never expected that the Salamander, which had accompanied him through countless battles across the Shinobi World, would be defeated so easily.
The Leaf Village truly had an endless supply of talent—this was the foundation of a major ninja village. Thinking of the mediocre ninjas in the Rain Ninja Village, Hanzo felt a wave of exhaustion.
Even so, Hanzo showed no intention of backing down.
As the leader of the Rain Ninja Village and its final line of defense, if he retreated, the village would lose all hope.
Just then, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Hanzo's figure vanished instantly, putting Ren and the other three on high alert.
Aside from his toxins and the Salamander, Hanzo was most famous for his masterful Water Body Flicker Technique.
Moreover, with the rain falling, under these ideal conditions, Hanzo's Water Body Flicker Technique could only be rivaled by Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Suddenly, Orochimaru drew the Kusanagi Sword and thrust it toward Tsunade beside him.
Though unsure why Orochimaru was acting so recklessly, Tsunade trusted her longtime teammate and didn't move an inch.
With a clang, the tip of the Kusanagi Sword collided with the sickle in Hanzo's hand.
It turned out Hanzo had intended to eliminate Tsunade, the team's healer, first, but his plan had been anticipated by Orochimaru.
A cold sweat instantly formed on Tsunade's forehead. Without Orochimaru's intervention, even with her Creation Rebirth technique, she would have likely suffered severe injuries.
While Orochimaru and Hanzo were locked in their stalemate, Tsunade didn't hesitate—she delivered a powerful Super Strength punch directly to Hanzo's abdomen.
However, her fist didn't connect with the expected resistance.
Just before Tsunade's punch could land, Hanzo used his Water Body Flicker Technique again to escape the battlefield.
Seeing that this situation couldn't continue, Ren commanded Charizard:
"Charizard, use Sunny Day!"
Charizard let out an excited roar, then opened its mouth and shot a blazing flame toward the sky—it had always disliked this damp weather.
To everyone's astonishment, Charizard's flames pierced through the dark clouds, revealing the long-lost sun.
Nearby, Gamabunta, who was too large to participate in the battle and could only watch, couldn't help but poke Manda beside him with his hand.
"Stinky snake, have you ever heard of a Summoning Beast like that? It actually has such a terrifying Fire Release that it can even change the weather. Truly terrifying."
Manda glanced at Gamabunta and replied irritably:
"Stinky toad, don't touch me. I've never heard of a Summoning Beast like that. Don't you have some ten-thousand-year-old toad in Mount Myoboku? Why don't you go ask it?"
Without the boost from the rain, Hanzo's Water Body Flicker Technique was no longer as mystifying as before.
Although his speed was still fast, Orochimaru and the other two could now clearly see Hanzo's movement trajectory.
It wasn't like before, where it seemed like Space-Time Ninjutsu, making it impossible to defend against.
Hanzo glanced at Hayato Ren in mid-air and couldn't help but curse inwardly:
"That brat is really annoying."
Then, Hanzo's figure instantly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was in the mid-air where Hayato Ren had just been.
However, once bitten, twice shy. After nearly being killed by Hanzo last time, Hayato Ren had been paying close attention to his movements.
So, just as Hanzo was about to use the Water Body Flicker Technique again to reach Charizard, Hayato Ren took a step ahead and returned to the Summoning World with Charizard.
Hanzo, having lost his support in mid-air, fell straight down from the sky.
At that moment, Jiraiya suddenly formed hand seals and shouted loudly:
"Needle Jizo: Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
Jiraiya's hedgehog-like long hair instantly grew wildly, tightly entangling Hanzo in mid-air.
Seizing the opportunity, Tsunade stomped the ground fiercely, creating a deep crack, and her figure appeared in mid-air, delivering a powerful punch that sent Hanzo, trapped in the hair, flying away.
Hanzo spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a ragged cloth.
Then, Orochimaru suddenly aimed his hands at Hanzo gliding through the air and softly exclaimed: "Hidden Shadow Snake Hands"
Numerous vicious poisonous snakes shot out from Orochimaru's hands, attacking Hanzo.
Although those snakes were poisoned to death by the toxins surrounding Hanzo's body shortly after approaching him, before dying, they still managed to bite Hanzo's body.
"Haha, what Demigod of the Ninja World? You still lost to our passionate combination technique."
Jiraiya put his hands on his hips, smugly mocking Hanzo.
Hanzo leaned his body against a large tree, taking deep breaths.
Except for a very few ninja like Hashirama Senju and Tsunade, most ninja are high-attack, low-defense types.
Hanzo was no exception. The attacks from Orochimaru and the other two had already inflicted significant damage on him.
Although he could still remove his mask and fight to the death, it was no longer necessary.
Even if Hanzo managed to take down Orochimaru and the other two in a desperate fight, what would it achieve?
The Leaf still had powerful figures like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, and White Fang, and the Sand Hidden Village was eyeing the Rain Ninja Village covetously.
At this point in the battle, the outcome had already been decided.
Hanzo, forcing himself to stand, looked at Orochimaru and the other two not far away and shouted:
"That Sarutobi Hiruzen is truly fortunate to have three such outstanding disciples. In the name of the Demigod of the Shinobi World, I bestow upon you the title of the Three Ninja. This war... we Rain Ninja have lost."
At that moment, Jiraiya suddenly whispered a suggestion:
"That old man Hanzo seems to be at his limit. How about we finish him off right now?"
