Naruto: Starting as the Third Hokage with Tears in His Eyes

Chapter 571 Ultimate Prediction!

The killing intent had completely locked onto the target.

Jiraiya was in mid-air when his Rasengan attack missed, and the immense inertia carried him forward.

The image above shows the Third Tsuchikage preparing to unleash his ultimate attack.

A desperate situation.

At that moment, every hair on my body stood on end.

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiraiya's mind, the chakra circulation path already disrupted by inertia.

There is no way to break this deadlock.

"Long live the Tsuchikage!"

"Kill that white-haired kid from Konoha!"

"Let him see what the true Will of Stone is!"

The group of Iwagakure ninja below, who had been suppressed and beaten for half a day, finally found an outlet for their anger, and they all screamed wildly at the top of their lungs.

The scales of victory seem to have tipped completely.

Orochimaru stood in the middle of the rubble.

The long tongue licked across the lips.

The screams all around him didn't even bother him to look away.

Precise coordinate data is being frantically reorganized in his brain, which is comparable to a supercomputer.

The wind speed is 3.2 meters per second.

The airflow deviation value generated by the explosion of Onoki Iwa's clone is 15%.

Everything matches up.

No need to do it yourself.

The enemy's stupidity is the best weapon.

Orochimaru suddenly raised his head.

"Jiraiya! Step aside!"

The shout pierced through the battlefield's noise and slammed directly into Jiraiya's eardrums.

No hesitation.

Years of life-and-death ties and the muscle memory honed through countless training sessions with Hiruzen Sarutobi forcibly took over his body in that instant.

Jiraiya didn't even think about why he had to turn to the side.

Even if Orochimaru is a monster, he would never betray his teammates on the battlefield.

Jiraiya quickly glanced down.

Two thick stone pillars were menacingly thrusting down from directly below.

Forcibly twisting the waist.

The ribs made a cracking sound as they struggled to bear the weight.

Jiraiya forcefully twisted himself into an extremely contorted evasive posture in mid-air.

A piercing whistle of wind reached my ears.

Two enormous stone pillars, with a sharp whooshing sound, grazed past the tip of his nose.

The heat generated by the high-speed friction even curled a few of his white hairs.

"??"

In mid-air, Onoki's wrinkled old face flashed with a hint of surprise.

What is the little devil doing?

Have you given up?

wrong!

Onoki's battle-hardened intuition alerted him to a deadly danger.

His fingers, which were about to unleash Dust Release, paused slightly. He shifted his attention from Jiraiya to the source of the voice—Orochimaru.

It was this slight distraction that allowed him to see the scene on the ground clearly and understand the true meaning of the phrase "turn sideways".

Previously, Orochimaru deliberately let two Iwa ninjas use Earth Release techniques in order to block Onoki's movement.

The two thick stone pillars that roared towards the sky were meant to attack Jiraiya, but because Jiraiya dodged perfectly, they missed and flew straight up to a higher place.

Everyone thought it was just two insignificant mistakes in the chaotic battlefield.

Except for Orochimaru.

From the very beginning, he incorporated the flight trajectories and speeds of the two stone pillars, as well as the possible evasion routes that Onoki might take, into his terrifyingly sophisticated combat computer.

Jiraiya's sidestep was not to avoid, but to give way.

He moved away from the target's position, clearing a straight trajectory for Onoki!

hum-

Two enormous stone pillars, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, crossed paths from where Jiraiya had just been standing, one to the left and one to the right, forming a perfect angle that blocked all of Onoki's escape routes, and hurtled straight toward him.

"Oh no!"

Onoki's heart pounded wildly.

The two stone pillars themselves did not pose a fatal threat to him, but the timing of their appearance was too insidious.

He was at a critical moment, his chakra was highly concentrated, and his body was suspended in mid-air, making him the most vulnerable target.

Avoid?

Having just been chased through the air by Jiraiya's clones, his fragile old back had begun to groan in protest. Now, to perform this extreme twisting maneuver...

Damn it!

Veins bulged on Onoki's face; he had no other choice.

With a muffled groan, he forcibly dispersed the destructive light from his fingertips, his chakra surging wildly within him, activating the Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique, attempting to forcibly elevate himself from an angle that defied the laws of physics.

However, the sharp pain in his lower back inevitably caused his movements to stiffen slightly.

It was this slight stiffness that determined the outcome of the battle.
