The red light became brighter and brighter in the mouth of the pepper fish, but the red light spots in Hanzo's hand were constantly shrinking.

He did not intend to let the three of them leave as in the original work. When the war went to this level, there was not much room for choice. As he said, you have to earn your life by yourself, and you can give you a chance, but whether you can grasp it depends on yourself.

In an instant, the red chakra light condensed to the extreme was sprayed out by the mountain pepper fish. The light spot in Hanzo's hand was thrown out at the same time, sinking into it, becoming the most central slight hue.

At the center, the red light instantly turned into pitch black. Other colors appeared in the huge red chakra and instantly transformed, becoming extremely dark and deep. Under the influence of this light, the rain turned into ink, dripping from the ground and making a hissing sound, containing violent toxicity.

And around the chakra light, even the light was distorted, and the aura of death and despair spread rapidly.

"Nonsense, dark poisonous light technique!"

It's complicated, but it actually only happened in a moment. The Sannin, who had just been named, looked up with different expressions, but a hint of despair appeared in his eyes at the same time.

They can't handle this trick...at least they can't handle it in their current state. The three of them still have this judgment.

Orochimaru stepped forward, his face becoming more and more heavy than ever. He was the only remaining combat power among the three. At this time, he had to stand up.

His hands were closed, but at this moment, he didn't know what kind of ninjutsu it was good to use. The remaining chakra amount and the ninjutsu that could be activated had no one who could block this move.

Chaotic thoughts came, scenes of the past emerged in his mind, the ignorance of childhood, the name of a genius in the ninja school, the first time I saw the mysterious Lu Xuan in the school, the first time I saw the first ninja war, the death of their parents, the white snake in front of the tomb, the second time I saw the mysterious Lu Xuan, and the conversation that affected his outlook on life...

I often hear people mention that before dying, people will recall their lives, and even the forgotten parts will clearly appear in front of their eyes.

In the past, Orochimaru scoffed at this statement and believed that he would never die easily. He who aims to pursue eternal life as his lifelong goal will definitely live longer than everyone.

But when death came, he realized that everything was just self-righteous.

Life is as fragile as a cicada's wing and as strong as a wild grass.

Inexplicably, he remembered what Xuan said to him in front of the tomb of the first generation.

"Do you want to escape?" This thought suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's mind, and a trace of hesitation appeared deep in his heart. If he escaped, he might have a trace of vitality with the chakra he left behind. But in that case, Tsunade and Jirai would definitely die.

"Orochimaru!" A sudden voice pulled him back to reality. The world of thoughts was not synchronized with the time of reality, especially under the pressure of this death, it actually only took a moment.

Orochimaru turned around slightly and saw Tsunade's decisive expression. She didn't say much, nor did she have time to say more. "Escape, and then avenge Jiraiya and me."

Her voice did not tremble, but she just held Jiraiya's hand tightened, and then raised her head calmly, Hanzo's ninjutsu was already in front of her.

Looking at her, Orochimaru's eyes suddenly contracted, and then, he showed a long-lost smile. The remaining chakra suddenly burst out, and the seals of his hands began to change.

"It's too late. Water escape, water curtain attacks the sky!"

The water-attributed chakra condensed wildly, and in the blink of an eye, a water curtain from the sky enveloped them. This water escape ninjutsu that surpassed the water array wall was Orochimaru's last resistance now.

In fact, he himself understood that it was not enough to block the opponent's attack.

"I had known that I would have used the 'Defiled Reincarnation' at the beginning. I didn't expect this to happen. It seems that I, Orochimaru, are limited to this."

To be honest, Orochimaru is not a good person. At this age, he has no idea how much blood has been stained with. Most of them are ninjas in other villages, but there are not a few innocent civilians. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, his image is more in line with the more demons. In addition, his gloomy personality, even in Konoha Village, his popularity has always been poor.

But at this time Orochimaru still did not lose his most essential original intention. He was selfish and vicious, but this did not mean that he only had himself in his eyes. If Tsunade did not let him escape, perhaps he would really hesitate, and what choice he would make in the end was not certain.

But at this moment, he decided to stay and protect the two comrades behind him. Perhaps the final result was that all three of them would die, so... let's die...

The dark chakra light instantly broke through the water curtain. In silence, the water curtain was stained black and toxic.

Sannin looked up and sighed in despair at the same time. Jiraiya took advantage of the last time to look at Orochimaru's back, and was angry and happy in his heart in addition to despair.

What was angry was that he did not run away, and what was happy was that he did not run away.

...

"After all, Konoha's 'Three Ninjas' can end here." Hanzo, who was on the mountain pepper fish, looked into the distance, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Everything is over, and the just-appeared "Three Ninjas" is about to become history.

However……

"Why."

With a sigh, no one knew where the sigh came from. The sound was very light, but it sounded clearly in the ears of the four people. It was everywhere, but there was no place, just like the sound made by this world itself.

But with this sigh, a shocking scene appeared. Everything in the world seemed to stop, everything solidified, and the raindrops stopped in the air, crystal clear, and could clearly see the structure. Hanzo's dark ninjutsu stopped in front of the three of them, and could no longer move forward.

Time seems to be condensed at this moment, but the people in it are not affected, and the world still maintains colorful colors.

Just as they were stunned and wondering what happened, the dark light disappeared, and the world seemed to have resumed its operation in an instant, and heavy rain fell.

A figure in a black robe appeared in front of the Sannin and quietly floated.
