Chapter 139 The Poison Pot Technique: The Three Armies Suffer a Major Defeat

The Vajra Cage is engraved with sealing techniques, making it impossible to escape even using reverse psychic abilities.

"Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals and fired chakra bullets of five different attributes simultaneously, heading straight for Hanzo inside the cage.

Hanzo the Salamander swung his sword, shattering a fire blast with one strike, a water blast with two strikes, and an earth blast with three strikes—

But when he made the fourth strike, his movements began to slow down. This was because his chakra was being used up too much, and his body was being suppressed by the barrier, so he couldn't replenish it with medicine for a short period of time.

Actually, it was his carelessness; he didn't expect the Third Hokage to have a technique called Vajra Cage. He also didn't expect the Summoning Monkey King to be so effective.

Just then, a figure burst into the battlefield—it was Negishi Kusa!

He formed hand seals and used his secret technique to forcibly draw a lightning bullet, causing it to change direction and collide with the last wind bullet.

boom!!!

In the violent explosion, the Kongo Cage was shattered, and Hanzo the Salamander escaped.

"Well done!" Hanzo laughed and brandished his sword to fight again.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Uzumaki Shirai, riding the Seven-Tails, finally returned from the Land of Waterfall to the battlefield.

However, because the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, the Seven-Tails dared not launch the Tailed Beast Ball, as this would only result in heavy losses for both sides. The ninjas of their three-nation alliance were already few in number, and it was impossible for them to suffer such losses.

Therefore, she could only provide support from the air, using physical techniques such as ramming and tail whips to harass Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In fact, the Seven-Tails' practical combat effectiveness is greatly reduced when the Tailed Beast Ball is not used.

Its massive size becomes a limitation; sometimes, fearing it might accidentally injure its own kind, it doesn't even dare to exert too much force.

The Vortex Purple Claw dared not engage in close combat, and could only occasionally use the Vajra Seal to block enemies or revive teammates.

As for Negishi Kusanagi, his role is to defend against and deflect large-scale ninjutsu. His speed, physique, and strength are far weaker than Hanzo's, making him a mere punching bag, but the main reason is that he lacks a decisive offensive ninjutsu.

Therefore, the only true main force was Hanzo of the Salamander. Even the poison of the Salamander wasn't very effective. In fact, Tsunade still had some conscience; before the battle began, she still developed a batch of antidotes and secretly sent them to her teacher.

This is why they dared to fight openly and head-on. The three of them, along with the tailed beast, battled Hiruzen Sarutobi for several tens of minutes, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Shifting the focus to another area, in a secluded valley, dozens of ninjas dressed in black robes and wearing sunglasses were moving corpses and setting up something.

If you look closely at those corpses, you'll find that they were all made from locally sourced materials, from the impoverished people of the Grass Country who originally stayed here.

The elderly who refused to leave and the women who stayed to care for them all lay here, becoming living examples.

"Clan leader, isn't it too against the natural order for us to use such ninjutsu?" a female ninja said, unable to bear watching.

The clan chief of the Aburame clan said, "What do you mean by 'offending the natural order'? They are all enemies, they all deserve to die. Konoha is facing a life-or-death crisis, and our clan must play its part. And don't forget our positions as elders. Our Aburame clan has always been on the periphery of the core; this is a golden opportunity to get rid of Danzo."

Yes, among the geniuses of the Aburame clan, if two appear in each generation, one will be taken away by Danzo, and their fate will be unknown ever since.

If the Aburame clan wants to escape their current situation, they must make great contributions and become someone Danzo dares not easily touch.

Meanwhile, on this side, the Aburame clan ninjas completed the setup of the Battlefield Killing Pot Poison Technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exposed an opening and took a solid blow from Hanzo's blade, his abdominal armor splitting open and blood flowing freely.

He feigned defeat with a pained expression, fighting and retreating. As if receiving a signal, the Konoha ninjas began to retreat en masse.

The Rain Ninjas, thinking they were about to win, immediately pressed their advantage.

"Chase them! Don't let them get away!"

"Haha, Konoha! We're going to attack Konoha!"

Although Hanzo the Salamander found the situation strange, he figured there was no reason for them to lose in a three-on-one situation, so he decided to trust his instincts and give it a shot.

However, as they chased into a narrow valley, they realized something was wrong—it was too quiet.

All the Konoha ninja who had fled here before have disappeared.

At this moment, on the hillsides on both sides of the valley, dozens of Aburame clan ninjas dressed in black robes and wearing sunglasses were forming hand seals together.

"burst!"

boom!!!

Countless corpses hidden beneath the grass exploded, and nano-sized venomous insects filled the air. Any ninja invaded by these insects died instantly and became the next source of explosions.

The Rain Bearers suffered the worst fate—because they had not undergone the insect soup modification and had almost zero resistance to toxicity.

The situation was much better for the Grass Ninja. Only a few dozen people with poor physical condition or those who were severely poisoned were invaded by the poisonous insects. But they didn't die and are still putting up a stubborn fight.

Upon seeing this, Hanzo the Salamander immediately countered with poison, releasing his salamander ability to stop the spread of the poisonous insects, and then quickly shouted for retreat.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

Hanzo, Negishi Kusanagi, and Shirai, along with the remaining dragonflies, flew away from the scene. The original group of 1,500 people was reduced to only 600 or 700 in an instant.

Seeing this, the Konoha ninja pressed their advantage.

"Kill them! The ninjas of the Three Kingdoms Alliance have been defeated!" With Hiruzen Sarutobi leading the way, the ninjas from various clans rushed over as if afraid that the common ninjas would steal their credit, killing anyone they saw.

On the battlefield, morale is also a form of strength. At this moment, the Three Kingdoms Alliance had suffered a major defeat, and its morale had plummeted to rock bottom, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Seeing that they were about to be caught up, the whirlpool purple dragon, flying high in the sky, made a tough decision. She patted Seven-Tails' head and said, "Seven-Tails, launch backwards!"

"But there are still nearly a hundred of your ninjas there!"

"As the master said, hesitation leads to chaos. If they don't die, even more will die." Zi Ling closed her eyes, feeling a sharp pain in her heart for the first time. Yes, this was war.

She finally understood why the adults were unwilling to personally lead the war, but instead stayed far away.

If she had the opportunity and the strength, she wouldn't want to participate in the war.

"Alright, as you wish."

The Seven-Tails didn't have much sympathy; she did whatever she was told. She opened her mouth, the Tailed Beast Ball condensed, and shot out with a bang.

In an instant, the massive Tailed Beast Ball exploded in the crowd behind them, the enormous impact sending dust billowing into the air. This single blast instantly killed over five hundred Konoha ninja. However, over a hundred Amegakure ninja were also caught in the blast.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also sent flying by this blast and dared not continue the pursuit for the time being.

Whirlpool Purple Fly closed her eyes, unable to look, but she knew that if she didn't do this, even more people would die.
