Even Yoruha was somewhat surprised at this moment. "I didn't realize you were this strong." In Yoruha's memory, the Three-Tails had been easily captured by Deidara and Tobi, leading him to believe it was weak.
However, the power displayed by the Three-Tails was far greater than he had imagined.
The Three-Tails ignored Yoruha and turned its gaze towards Manda, who was a kilometer away.
Manda's body was now riddled with cracks, and many scales had fallen off. "You're quite tenacious, but it seems I need to end this in one strike," the Three-Tails remarked, opening its mouth to form a Tailed Beast Bomb in front of it.
Manda, having regained consciousness, was shocked to see the Three-Tails preparing to launch a Tailed Beast Bomb. "Orochimaru, if you can't block this, I'm leaving," Manda warned.
Orochimaru, who had returned to Manda's head, frowned and glanced at Kabuto beside him. Kabuto nodded, slicing open Orochimaru's hand, allowing blood to drip as he formed hand seals.
"Triple Rashomon!" With a thunderous roar, three massive Rashomon gates, each tens of meters high, rose in front of Manda.
At the same time, the Three-Tails fired the Tailed Beast Bomb. The bomb crossed the kilometer distance in an instant, appearing before the Rashomon gates.
In a flash, blinding light enveloped several kilometers around the Rashomon gates. The deafening explosion echoed for over ten kilometers, with shockwaves sweeping across the land.
The scene was apocalyptic, with howling winds, crumbling mountains, and flying debris, leaving Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune stunned. It had been years since they had witnessed such a battle.
As the shockwave bore down on them, Jiraiya and Shizune frowned. "Damn, there's no way to dodge this."
"The power of the Tailed Beast Bomb is immense. Even the residual energy can obliterate everything within several kilometers," Jiraiya noted.
As he said, the energy shockwave from the Tailed Beast Bomb crossed a kilometer in an instant, sweeping in like a tidal wave. The energy wave alone was hundreds of meters high.
Wherever the energy wave reached, the ground collapsed, and flowers, grass, and trees were instantly reduced to ashes.
As the energy shockwave threatened to engulf Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others, Yoruha, standing on the Three-Tails' head, felt a bit helpless. "Firing a Tailed Beast Bomb right off the bat is reckless."
"And at such close range, are you trying to blow us up too?" Despite his words, Yoruha acted swiftly. He clasped his hands together.
"Ninja Art: Storm Water Vortex!" Instantly, a massive surge of chakra erupted from Yoruha's body. A few droplets of water appeared in the air, spinning wildly as soon as they materialized.
With a hum, a gigantic water sphere materialized out of nowhere, encasing Jiraiya, Shizune, Tsunade, Yoruha, Katsuyu, and the Three-Tails at its center. The water sphere had a diameter of several hundred meters.
"Boom!" The shockwave crashed against the giant water sphere, which spun furiously as the two terrifying forces collided. The ground beneath the impact zone collapsed instantly, forming several trenches hundreds of meters long.
In a typical scene, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune stood dumbfounded, staring at Yoruha, who was calmly standing on the back of the Three-Tails.
It seemed as if this ninjutsu wasn't even his doing. Even Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had experienced the Third Shinobi World War, were left speechless by this sight.
Jiraiya trembled as he spoke, "W-what on earth is this guy's origin? Do humans really possess such power?" Despite having gone through the Third Shinobi World War, Jiraiya had never seen anyone's ninjutsu create a water sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters.
Moreover, it wasn't just a simple Water Release; there was definitely a sophisticated Wind Release involved. This was a combination ninjutsu.
It's important to note that there were no rivers nearby, meaning Yoruha had released such a massive amount of water in a waterless environment.
And he still had enough chakra left to use Wind Release in conjunction. Tsunade watched this scene, her gaze slightly focused, "This kid is incredibly strong, like my grandfather." Unlike Jiraiya, Tsunade had spent time with Hashirama since childhood.
She also knew the history of the Senju clan, so she was well aware of how powerful Hashirama was.
And now, she realized that the scale of Yoruha's ninjutsu was not much less than her grandfather's. "No, at just his teenage years, he possesses such inhuman power, even stronger than my grandfather."
"This kid wasn't lying back then; he really does have the ability to protect us." Tsunade recalled when Yoruha stayed behind to protect her and Shizune until they safely escaped from the Fourth Raikage. The explosion lasted for a few seconds.
Everything returned to calm. Yoruha waved his hand, and the massive water sphere shattered instantly.
Countless streams of water seeped into the ground. These waters seemed to have a life of their own, not lingering on the surface but instead penetrating the earth.
Even the Three-Tails, a master of Water Release, couldn't help but remark, "You're truly a monster. When it comes to Water Release, I'm not afraid of anyone, but your Water Release is definitely much stronger than mine."
Standing on the back of the Three-Tails, Yoruha had his hands in his pockets and said indifferently, "Just a little trick."
Hearing Yoruha's infuriating words, the Three-Tails twitched its mouth slightly. "If it weren't for the fact that I can't beat you, I'd really want to hit you with a Tailed Beast Bomb."
The slug clone beside Yoruha was also dumbfounded by their conversation, trembling and not daring to speak. Without saying much more to the Three-Tails, Yoruha casually remarked, "Your vitality is quite tenacious."
In the distance, dust clouds billowed, but Yoruha's sensory abilities had already detected that Orochimaru was still alive. Even Manda hadn't died. "It seems Orochimaru's defensive ninjutsu is quite effective."
"Isobu, your Tailed Beast Bomb didn't break through his defense, huh?" Yoruha teased. Isobu wasn't angry, responding coldly, "It was just a quickly condensed Tailed Beast Bomb. That guy managing to block it is indeed impressive, but not too surprising."
Yoruha nodded. Although the Tailed Beast Bomb just now was powerful and destructive, it didn't actually contain much chakra.
Because it was a quickly condensed Tailed Beast Bomb by the Three-Tails, its energy density wasn't even as high as the Tailed Beast Bomb fired by Four-Tails Naruto.
But the destructive power was indeed astonishing. As the dust had yet to settle, suddenly, dozens of shadows shot out from it.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands" A multitude of pythons shot out from the dust towards Yoruha, mouths wide open, ready to bite him. Yet Yoruha remained unflustered, saying calmly, "As expected of the Sannin, definitely more troublesome than previous enemies." "Be careful, sir."
The slug clone beside Yoruha warned. The Three-Tails paid no attention to the sudden attack, its gaze fixed on the dust cloud. It didn't believe such an assault could harm Yoruha.
And indeed, it couldn't. Yoruha did nothing. His hands remained in his pockets.
And just as the dozens of pythons were about to crash into Yoruha like cannonballs, a brilliant golden light burst forth from his body. These golden lights were all transformed from golden lightning.
"Zzz~" "Pfft, pfft, pfft..." In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, and the dozens of pythons, each several meters long, were all reduced to ashes. As the golden light faded, what remained was countless golden arcs forming a golden cloak around Yoruha's body.
