Lady Orochimaru: The Mad Scientist Who Just Wants to Escape Konoha Chapter 238 - 236 Orochimaru hadn't expected

"Konohas Sannin..."

Orochimaru hadn't expected that, even without fighting Hanzo in the Hidden Rain Village, they would still end up with such a title. She preferred a title like Serpent User over Konohas Sannin.

After a series of setbacks, Iwagakure's high-ranking officials finally realized that the current Konoha was not sothing Iwagakure could contend with alone.

Rather than stubbornly clashing with Konoha and ultimately becoming a stepping stone for other Various Ninja Villages, it was better to reduce the scale of the war and see what the other Various Ninja Villages would do.

When the high-ranking officials proposed this idea to Ōnoki, it was exactly what he wanted. He had been thinking the sa thing; large-scale engagents between Iwagakure and Konoha were disadvantageous to Iwagakure.

Thus, Ōnoki issued an order, changing the direction of operations. He had originally intended to break through Konoha's forces head-on and launch a major offensive against Konoha. Now, it seed, multi-front warfare was needed to disperse Konoha's elite Ninja, especially those accursed Konohas Sannin!

Facing Iwagakure's multi-front warfare, Konoha would have to pay too high a price to invade Iwagakure, forcing them to dispatch multiple units to engage in battle.

Land of Water, Hidden Mist Village.

The Third Mizukage looked at the intelligence collected by his intelligence Ninja, and after much deliberation, abandoned the idea of attacking Iwagakure. Iwagakure was currently using multi-front warfare to tie down most of Konoha's fighting strength, as well as the Ninja World-renowned Konohas Sannin.

Compared to attacking Iwagakure, Konoha's current strength made him extrely wary. Whether it was Konoha's older generation or its new generation, too many geniuses had appeared.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sakumo Hatake, Konoha's genius Ninja... The Third Mizukage's narrowed eyes opened a sliver. He dispatched elite Ninja to form units to raid Konoha, using underwater movent to reduce the possibility of detection.

In this way, the Hidden Mist elite unit successfully landed in the southeast of the Land of Fire by moving rapidly through the seawater.

However, they were only discovered when they approached Konoha, prompting Konoha to urgently dispatch elite units composed of various Ninja Clans to et them.

The battlefield was filled with dense fog created by the Hidden Mist Jutsu, a wide-ranging fog that gave the Hidden Mist Ninja an absolute advantage on the battlefield.

However, the elite unit dispatched by Konoha included Ninja from the Hyuga Clan, skilled in reconnaissance and taijutsu, Ninja from the Iburi Clan with the Bloodline Limit of Smoke Transformation, and Ninja from the Uchiha Clan, showing how seriously Konoha regarded the Hidden Mist.

The Iburi Clan Ninja transford into smoke, moving through the dense fog and controlling the actions of one Hidden Mist Ninja after another. Facing attacks from their own comrades, the Hidden Mist Ninja were montarily thrown into disarray, suffering many casualties. They soon realized this was the Iburi Clan's Bloodline Limit.

"Be careful! That's Konoha's Iburi Clan's Bloodline Limit!"

"Your Hidden Mist Jutsu is useless in front of our Hyuga Clan's Byakugan!"

The Hyuga Clan Ninja, with bulging veins around their eyes, assud the Gentle Fist Art stance and attacked the Hidden Mist Ninja. Every palm strike targeted a pressure point, and once hit, the flow of Chakra within the body would be obstructed.

"In front of these Sharingan, your Hidden Mist Jutsu cannot stop !"

The Uchiha Clan Ninja, with their Sharingan activated, saw the Chakra moving within the dense fog.

Facing the Iburi Clan's Smoke Transformation, the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, and the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, the Hidden Mist elite unit had no choice but to abandon their most advantageous combat thod, dispelling the dense fog ford by the Hidden Mist Jutsu.

Fortunately, the Third Mizukage had anticipated that Konoha would dispatch Iburi Clan Ninja, and for this, the elite unit sent included Wind Release Ninja.

Wind Release Ninja could, to a certain extent, counter the Iburi Clan's Smoke Transformation, but they couldn't disperse them completely.

"Smoke Dragon Technique!"

The Iburi Clan Ninja transford into smoke, gathered together, and ford a smoke dragon to attack the Hidden Mist Ninja. Neither physical attacks nor Water Release Ninjutsu could affect the smoke dragon.

The only Wind Release Ninjutsu that could affect the smoke dragon had limited impact due to the caster's insufficient strength.

Soon, the Hidden Mist elite unit was dealt with by Konoha's elite unit.

The Hidden Mist's actions did not stop there; instead, they emulated Iwagakure and adopted a multi-front warfare approach, sending multiple units to attack Konoha from different directions.

Land of Wind, Hidden Sand Village.

The Third Kazekage, learning that Konoha was simultaneously fighting Iwagakure and Hidden Mist, believed this was a golden opportunity.

"Chiyo, this ti, you will lead the Suna Ninja to attack Konoha."

The Third Kazekage looked at Chiyo and said.

"Lord Kazekage, I suggest we bring Bunbuku."

Chiyo thought that other Various Ninja Villages' utilization of Tailed Beasts was currently far lower than Sunagakure's. If Bunbuku were brought to the battlefield and allowed to go berserk, causing widespread destruction, it might yield good results.

"Bunbuku... Shukaku? Why?"

The Third Kazekage looked at Chiyo with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Lord Kazekage, in terms of raw power, Sunagakure is far inferior to Konoha, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Hidden Mist. But we have one thing that surpasses them: our utilization of Tailed Beasts. Order Bunbuku to unleash Shukaku's power on the battlefields of Iwagakure and Konoha, or Hidden Mist and Konoha."

Chiyo extended her hand as if she could already see the battlefield covered with the corpses of people killed by Shukaku. Given Sunagakure's strength, to achieve results on the battlefield, they couldn't join the war with conventional thinking.

"Then, how will we retrieve Shukaku afterward?"

The Third Kazekage was more concerned about what would happen if Sunagakure lost Shukaku due to this operation. Shukaku was undoubtedly Sunagakure's last trump card; the Magnet Release, which controlled iron sand, was developed through studying Shukaku.

"Then we can only wait for Shukaku to calm down."

Chiyo spread her hands; in that situation, she couldn't guarantee that she could subdue Shukaku.

"Alright, Chiyo, I agree with your proposal. For this operation, bring Bunbuku along. We must show the other Various Ninja Villages and the Daimyo of the Wind Country the true strength of our Sunagakure."

The Third Kazekage said, holding back his anger. The last ti the Third Raikage led Kumogakure to their doorstep, it caused Sunagakure and him to lose face with the Daimyo. This ti, they must reclaim all the lost honor!
