Chapter 125:

"I don't think you are so great!" Jiraiya yelled unwillingly.

Heavy rain is still downpuring and thunder roar in the sky. Under such a harsh fighting environment, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru were drench and fatigue, resulting in their combat effectiveness to slightly dropped as a result, while Hanzo had already adapted to the environment in Country of Rain as well as had a geographical advantage.

Orochimaru snorted coldly. As someone who prided himself as a genius, he naturally feel dissatisfied while being suppressed by Hanzo throughout the battle.

The figures of the four people intersected again as they fought in mid-air. They move in lightning speed and many techniques were unleased upon one another. The quick pace yet deadly battle was too fast that most people couldn't even see clearly what is going on. Fortunately, Akira has sharingan, thus he was able to clearly see the movement of the four battling.

"Brat, this Hanzo from country of rain is quite strong..." The voice of sage of the six path sounded in Akira's mind.

"Of course I know." Akira puckered his lips in thought, Hanzo's strength was of course quite terrifying if he could fight the Sannin at the same time, yet still have an advantage.

"What are you going to do?"

"I will look for an opportunity ambush him. After a while, when Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru have exhausted Hanzo, I will launch a ambush on him when he is fatigue"

"...I bet Hanzo will be pissed off?" The sage was speechless.

"I'm not as strong as the Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochinaru. Isn't using trickery normal?" Akira said without feeling any shame.

-----------------------

Akira talked with the sage while paying close attention to the situation in the field.

Hanzo and the trio continued the intense fight against each other. Jiraiya and Orochimaru have been releasing ninjutsu one after another as they hand sealed non stop. Jiraiya unleashed fire ninjutsu despite the fact that is not suitable to use fire ninjutsu rainy weather in the Country of Rain. and the fire ninjutsu will be less effective. However Jiraiya took a different approach, using oil and fire combined, he can use the oil as fuel to support the combustion of the fire, which even the torrential rain can not extinguished.

On the other hand, Orochimaru cooperated Jiraiya by using the wind to increase the power of the flame and at the same time, manipulated the shape of the flame to attack.

As for Tsunade, needless to say, had been condensing light blue Chakra in her fist since the beginning and have been maintaining the chakra enhancement strength.

The close cooperation of the three made Hanzo feel the pressure and had to deal with them seriously.

The battle has been going on for several hours.

Such a high-intensity chakra consumption battle, even for experts like Tsunade and Hanzo, can't last too long. Hence it is expected that the outcome of the battle will be decided in the next few moves.

Akira became tense, holding his breath and ready to take action at any moment of time.

In the distance, Minato, Nawaki and the sensory were also stunned by the battle. For a while, they just gawk at the battlefield blankly and forgot to speak.

The first to react was the sensory ninja who remembered his mission and hurriedly transmitted information and images of the battle back towards Konoha. To do so, the sensory ninjas had specially brought some equipment together with specialize communication ninjutsu to transmit information.

Soon, the information reached Konoha's Hokage tower.

---------------------

At the same time, in Konoha's Hokage Building, Konoha's higher ups, some elite jonin and Anbu were among them.

The third hokage wearing the Hokage cloak was holding onto a pipe and looks anxiously at the crystal ball in front of him while frowning.

On the third hokage crystal ball was the image of the trio fighting with Hanzo is playing.

Danzo was next to third hokage and he whispered: "It seems like Orochimaru and the others are not Hanzo's opponents. This time the rescue operation will likely fail."

By Danzo's side, Konoha's advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were also frowning as they sighed: "This will indeed be difficult, Hanzo is a figure called a demigod after all..."

The surrounding elite jonins and Anbu also had solemn expressions, looking at each other with concern and somewhat nervously watching the outcome of the battle.

"Hanzo..." The third hokage held his pipe and sighed lightly: "This battle is very important. If we lose to Ame, not only will our vanguards be trapped, but Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya will be in great danger."

The ninjas all nodded silently. This battle can even be said to affect Konoha's future in the war , so they paid special attention.

"I hope Orochimaru and the others can hold on. As long as they can withstand Hanzo's attack, they will be Konoha's great heroes!" Danzo slowly exhaled a sigh of breath, staring at the crystal ball Intently...

"Yes, may the will of fire be with them." The third hokage nodded in agreement, now they can only pin their hopes on the three of them.

Konoha's higher uosy are watching this battle closely and they are all praying that someone can stop Hanzo.

"It's time to the decide the winner!" At this time, the Third Hokage's expression changed slightly and the pipe in his hand struck the table heavily. In the image on the crystal ball, was the trio and Hanzo making their final confrontation.

Hanzo stood on top of his summoned animal, Salamandrr, looking condescendingly at the trio.

The heavy rain continue pouring heavily and a atmosphere was filled with tenseness.

Tsunade supported Jiraiya while Orochimaru stood alone. All three of them gasped heavily, their chakra was exhausted. Their bodies were not seriously injured, but their bodies were close to reaching their limits.

Hanzo haf also consumes a lot of chakra but he still have some energy to spare. He condescending look at the trio with some praise and said, "I believe this war will be won by Konoha, therefore I will will let the three of you live ."

"We don't need your mercy, we can continue to fight!" Jiraiya shouted loudly and he was quite unconvinced of his lost.

Hanzo could see that Jiraiya and the other two of them really had some spare energy left and to prevent Jiraiya and the other two to make a kamikaze attack(making a deathly attack by sacrificing oneself) , Hanzo had decided not to kill the trio.

"Stop talking, Jiraiya." Tsunade stopped Jiraiya's movements.

"The three of you are very strong and can survive fighting in this environment. I Hanzo will give you three the title of "Konoha's Sannin" from now on. As the proof that you had survive against me, this will henceforth be your title." Hanzo's cold voice came.

Konoha's Sannin!

Finally, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were named the "Sannin".

Akira was listening to Hanzo's words and curled his lips. He could see that Hanzo had also consume a huge amount of his chakra and it was the best opportunity to make a move.

"I am ready, take this!" Akira yelled in his mind
