Chapter 201: Hanzō vs. the Three Sannin
"Everyone, fall back! The mist is poisonous!"
Tsunade frowned and leapt backward. But the other Konoha ninja were already too late to retreat, collapsing one after another within the toxic fog.
"Damn it…" Tsunade gritted her teeth, trying to do something.
But before she could act, a massive claw suddenly descended from the sky. The salamander and Hanzō had targeted her at some unknown moment. Even with Tsunade's monstrous strength, she couldn't contend with a salamander of that size…
Just as Tsunade was about to die, a giant toad suddenly charged in, knocking the salamander slightly off course and narrowly saving her life.
"Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya has arrived!" Jiraiya stood boldly atop the great toad's head, laughing loudly. On the other side, Orochimaru rode in atop Manda, joining Jiraiya to block the salamander in front of Tsunade.
"That idiot, still loves showing off!" Tsunade laughed and scolded as she slammed both palms onto the ground. A massive slug lifted her high into the air…
"The Three Sannin of Konoha versus Hanzō—this really is a classic battle!" Li Jiexuan stood on a distant hill, watching with great interest. However, what puzzled him was…
"Why hasn't the story mission triggered yet?" Li Jiexuan felt somewhat helpless. The two most important factions in this storyline were right in front of him, yet the mission still hadn't activated.
"Do I have to take on four entire nations by myself before it triggers?" Just as Li Jiexuan was complaining, the mission suddenly activated…
Mission Triggered: The Choice of Justice!
Mission Details: The three great nations have chosen the Land of Rain as the battlefield. Is this fair to the Land of Rain? Can this truly be called justice?
Assist the Land of Rain. Defeat the three great ninja villages and drive them out. Justice that is not determined by personal likes or dislikes is true justice!
Mission Reward: 100,000 points, one salamander, Hanzō's friendship, Epic Title: Bringer of Justice.
"Gulp…"
Li Jiexuan swallowed hard, never expecting that his casual complaint would actually trigger the story mission. Even more outrageous, this time the system was going all out—it actually wanted him to take on several nations by himself!
"I was just saying that casually!"
However, the rewards for this mission were extremely generous. To be precise, so generous that one couldn't look away…
100,000 points went without saying—the highest point reward in history. The salamander was a top-tier summoning beast, second to none except the tailed beasts. It was a minor divine beast that could only barely be matched by the combined strength of the slug, toad, and Manda!
Hanzō's friendship was of unclear value, but it certainly wouldn't be anything low-tier. As for the Epic title, even up to now, Li Jiexuan only had one…
This was absolutely the most rewarding story mission in history. Of course, the difficulty was also extremely high—but not entirely impossible…
At the very least, in this era, there wasn't a single being who ruled over everything. That was Li Jiexuan's opportunity!
While he was thinking, the battle between the Three Sannin and Hanzō had already come to a pause. All the Konoha ninja who had been near Hanzō were already dead. Unfortunately…
"It looks like this war is a victory for the Konoha ninja!" Hanzō sighed helplessly, his gaze piercing through the rain curtain. There, the Rain ninja's battle line had been completely torn apart. Of the thousand Rain ninja Hanzō had left, nearly all had been killed or wounded.
The fight against the Three Sannin had taken too long, and the Rain ninja had completely collapsed. And the very Three Sannin who caused all of this now stood before him, supporting one another as they panted—they didn't even have enough chakra left to maintain their summoned beasts.
Now, Hanzō only needed to lift a hand to kill them!
