Chapter 79: Hidden Rain Frontline



In the Land of Rain, the downpour continued relentlessly.

Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village were locked in fierce combat.

Danzo was losing hair by the handful.

He had never imagined that under Hanzo's leadership, the Hidden Rain Village would be such a tough nut to crack.

The expected swift victory had not materialized. Instead, the Rain Village had managed to bog down Konoha's forces.

This was something Danzo hadn't anticipated.

And yet, the Hidden Rain had done just that.

Once Konoha's forces entered the Land of Rain, the battle turned into a deadlock.

The thing causing Danzo the most headaches was Hanzō's poison.

Whenever Hanzō appeared, large numbers of Konoha ninjas were poisoned to death.

Fortunately, Konoha had Tsunade, who continuously developed antidotes, gradually reducing the casualties.

Even so, Konoha couldn't secure a swift victory against the Hidden Rain.

The grand battle they had planned for ended up dragging Konoha into a quagmire instead.

"What's the status?" Orochimaru asked, his brow furrowed as he gazed out into the rain, pondering how to break the stalemate.

Damn it!

Danzo's leadership was a disaster. Under his command, wave after wave of Konoha ninjas had been sent to their deaths.

But since Danzo was the overall commander, there was nothing Orochimaru could do but swallow his frustration.

"I never expected the Hidden Rain Village to be this strong. Looks like the old man was right -letting them grow unchecked has become a real threat," Jiraiya muttered.

He no longer had the energy he'd shown when they first arrived on the battlefield, now he looked worn out, lying lazily on the ground, too tired to move.

Tsunade shot him a disdainful glance. "But the intel you gathered doesn't match up with the strength the Rain Village is showing."

"You can't blame that on me,"

Jiraiya replied, sitting up and scratching his head, which was caked with mud. "If you've got complaints, take them to our esteemed commander. That's out of my hands."

"But should you be leaving the camp to enter the battlefield?" Tsunade questioned.

"What's wrong with that?" Tsunade shot back, crossing her arms and frowning. "I can't stand seeing that old man's face, and I've already developed the antidote for Hanzo's poison. The medics can handle it from here."

Tsunade would rather fight on the front lines than stay in camp and look at Danzo's grim face all day.

The Third Hokage had made a mistake by appointing Danzo as the battlefield commander.

Danzo was skilled at plotting and assassinations, but commanding an army? That was a disaster waiting to happen.

Orochimaru wasn't happy, Tsunade was fed up, and even Jiraiya, though less vocal about it, was clearly dissatisfied.
