----------
Boom!
The huge Wood Human leaped, and the ground beneath its feet instantly shattered into pieces. It soared into the air and pressed down on the battlefield like a mountain.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"No! Don't!"
"Run!"
"Damn it!"
On the battlefield, the people on the side of the Amegakure and Iwagakure shinobi were terrified and frightened when they saw the huge Wood Human falling from the sky.
Some ran away, some were hysterical after making up their minds to die, and some were already in a trance.
But all this could not stop the Wood Human controlled by Ishigami Hara from falling.
Boom!
The earth trembled, and the ground cracked where the Wood Human landed. Soil and rocks splashed, and the ground vibrated like waves, spreading in all directions. For a while, smoke and dust rolled and whistled in the wind.
"Ah..."
Countless screams rang out at this moment, and the Amegakure and Iwagakure shinobi were blown backward by the violent wind. Some were smashed by flying stones while still in mid-air, while others fell to the ground and turned into meat paste.
This was a jump, and the appearance of the Wood Human had already changed the entire battlefield.
"..."
Jiraiya staggered, finally managing to stabilize his body in the violent vibration. He stared at the huge Wood Human with disbelief and imperceptible ecstasy in his eyes.
"It's Wood Release! Little Jiraiya, that's Wood Release!"
Fukasaku was also shocked at this moment. With a long life span, he naturally had a vision far beyond Jiraiya. The moment he saw the Wood Human appear, he knew its identity.
"That child..."
Shima focused on Ishigami Hara above the Wood Human. The expression on his frog face was vivid and quite surprised.
"It's Hara-kun!"
Jiraiya laughed loudly and then shouted: "Everyone, fight back!"
"Oh oh oh oh!"
"Ha ha!"
"Kill, kill them!"
"We won!"
At this moment, the morale of the Konoha shinobi was extremely high, and there was no trace of decadence, especially with the appearance of the Wood Human. The result of the Wood Human falling made the people of Konoha extremely excited.
Then, they saw these shinobi mustering all their strength and chasing after the defeated Amegakure and Iwagakure shinobi. In their opinion, victory was already in sight.
Swoosh!
Orochimaru appeared beside Ishigami Hara, looking at the huge Wood Human under his feet, his mood excited, and his face showing shock.
"I really underestimated you, Hara-kun."
Ishigami Hara just turned around and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Orochimaru-sama."
Swish!
Jiraiya also appeared, but he staggered after landing. If Orochimaru hadn't helped him, he would have fallen.
"Jiraiya-sama." Ishigami Hara took the initiative to greet him.
"Ah..."
Jiraiya laughed and patted Ishigami Hara on the shoulder, looking very familiar, and then said: "Great, young man, at this age, you already master the Wood Release. Your future is limitless!"
These words were sincere, but when he saw Ishigami Hara's eyes, Jiraiya was a little shocked.
"I'm afraid your bloodline will be a bit troublesome."
He was talking about the Byakugan and Sharingan. After all, in Jiraiya's view, both the Hyūga and Uchiha were the kind of ninja clans that adhered to tradition, especially in terms of their own bloodline, which they valued very much.
Now that their own bloodline had been leaked, Jiraiya thought either of these two families might not accept it easily.
Orochimaru licked his lips and chuckled: "In this situation, it is the Hyūga and Uchiha clans who will have to find ways to curry favor with Hara-kun."
Jiraiya was startled, then he reacted, scratched his head, and laughed: "Ahaha, it's true, Hara-kun has Wood Release, such a powerful combat power. Uchiha and Hyūga are in trouble now."
The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
The Third Hokage would definitely take this opportunity to do something regarding the two clans. This kind of situation was too normal for their own teacher.
Fukasaku and Shima stared at Ishigami Hara, as if trying to see something in him. Ishigami Hara sensed their gaze, glanced at them, nodded slightly, and then ignored them.
"Little Jiraiya, things have come to this point, we can't help much."
"Yes, little Jiraiya, we'll leave first."
Jiraiya nodded hurriedly and thanked them repeatedly, and then the two toads, Fukasaku and Shima, disappeared into white smoke.
"Huh!"
Jiraiya let out a long breath, collapsed on top of the Wood Human, and gasped.
"I'm so tired."
Orochimaru took a deep breath, and then said: "Are you going to chase after them?"
Ishigami Hara thought about it but still shook his head and said: "No, I won't be involved in the rest of the matter."
As he spoke, he patted the large wooden barrel beside him, and said: "I sealed the Four-Tails and its Jinchūriki in it. It can be used for a few days. You two need to decide how to deal with this matter."
The two had seen the large wooden barrel a long time ago. When they heard this, they were naturally happy, but more than anything, they found it a bit of a headache.
"The tailed beast and Jinchūriki, tsk, it's really troublesome. Orochimaru, do you want to return it to the Iwagakure shinobi?" Jiraiya asked.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Not for now. Let the teacher handle this matter."
"You mean, you want to bring the Four-Tails back to the village? What if something goes wrong in the middle?"
Orochimaru chuckled: "That's not something we need to worry about."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
"Don't worry, wait until this battle is over."
As he spoke, Orochimaru turned to Ishigami Hara: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hara. Please stay here for a while; everyone needs you to boost morale."
Ishigami Hara nodded, and without saying much, he sat cross-legged on the spot, his expression very calm.
He had no intention of telling anyone about the battle with Uchiha Madara.
At that time, the two were far away from the battlefield.
Although there was a lot of noise, no one saw the real situation of the fight between them.
Therefore, both Orochimaru and Jiraiya assumed that the aftermath of the battle came from the confrontation between Ishigami Hara and the Four-Tails.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru left the top of the Wood Human. They had more important things to do, and Ishigami Hara just waited, without any sense of urgency.
However, the existence of the Wood Human left Amegakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha shinobi with completely different impressions.
In the case of low morale, one side appeared desperate, like dogs who had lost their home, while the other was filled with fighting spirit and naturally had the upper hand.
There was no surprise in the direction of the battle. Soon, Ishigami Hara heard the signal representing victory. In other words, Konoha had won the final victory in this battle.
