Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Orochimaru and Jiraiya had already taken action.

The two sprinted toward the Hidden Hot Water Village.

As two of the legendary Sannin, known throughout the Shinobi World for their battle-hardened experience, slipping past the Cloud Ninjas' defenses was effortless. They easily infiltrated into the Hidden Hot Water Village.

Following the report from the Sensor Ninja, Orochimaru and Jiraiya arrived at the location where most of the Cloud Ninjas had gathered.

At this moment, both Orochimaru and Jiraiya stood on top of a rooftop.

Jiraiya, brimming with fighting spirit, said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, then let's go!"

Jiraiya bit his finger, drawing blood across his palm, and formed the hand seal for Summoning Jutsu.

Orochimaru followed closely behind, also forming the hand seals for Summoning Jutsu.

Both Jiraiya and Orochimaru slammed their hands onto the ground simultaneously.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Puff! Puff!

Two massive clouds of smoke enveloped Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

When the smoke cleared,

The building beneath Jiraiya and Orochimaru had collapsed. In its place stood two enormous summoned beasts.

Manda from Ryūchi Cave and Gamabunta from Mount Myoboku.

Gamabunta took a puff from his pipe, then exhaled a large cloud of smoke, looking displeasedly at Manda beside him. "Jiraiya, how many times have I told you—don't summon me when this stinky snake is around!"

Jiraiya grinned sheepishly, "Come on, don't be like that. This battle is really important. Let's just set that aside for now."

Manda also eyed Gamabunta with obvious disdain. "Orochimaru, did you summon me here to eat this smelly toad? If so, I'll waive my offering this time!"

Orochimaru coldly replied, "Manda, everyone here is your offering."

"Hmph!"

Manda knew very well it would never actually get to eat Gamabunta—it was merely indulging in verbal aggression.

The commotion quickly alerted the Cloud and Hot Water Ninjas, drawing large groups of ninja surrounding Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

"One of the Sannin—Orochimaru?! Why has he come to the Land of Hot Water too?!"

"They're attacking the Hidden Hot Water Village!"

"All ninja! Prepare for battle!"

...

The Cloud and Hot Water Ninjas launched attacks upon Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Gamabunta unsheathed a massive broadsword from his waist and delivered a horizontal slash.

Countless ninja were sliced clean in half by Gamabunta's blade.

Manda wasn't about to fall behind either, lashing out with a powerful tail swipe.

Countless ninjas were sent flying by the attack.

The colossal Gamabunta and Manda rampaged across the battlefield like unstoppable war machines, mowing down ninja after ninja.

Protected by thick scales, ordinary ninjutsu couldn't even scratch Manda's hide.

As for Gamabunta, despite his immense size, he moved surprisingly nimbly.

Most ninjutsu missed entirely as he leapt high into the air.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya voluntarily dropped down to the ground, allowing Manda and Gamabunta to fight freely.

Orochimaru crouched low to the ground, mouth wide open, as he rapidly formed hand seals.

[Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!]

From his mouth, Orochimaru spat forth an endless swarm of snakes, each seeking out Cloud and Hot Water Ninjas to bite.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya also completed his hand seals.

[Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!]

Jiraiya turned his long silver hair into needle-like hardness, wrapping his entire body in a protective cocoon.

[Needle Hell!]

Jiraiya's hardened silver hair shot outward like senbon in all directions, instantly wounding numerous ninja.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya's surprise strike hit hard—wiping out dozens of Cloud and Hot Water Ninja right from the start.

But soon enough, the Cloud and Hot Water Ninja got their heads back in the game and started countering.

The enemy sought cover, dodging the wide-area attacks launched by Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and their summons while directing other ninja into formation.

Once the enemy regrouped, Orochimaru and Jiraiya couldn't rack up kills like they did in the beginning anymore.

...

Outside Hidden Hot Water Village.

A team of Konoha nin spotted the Cloud Ninja guarding the perimeter slipping inside for backup. They moved immediately.

Chinya and Minato Namikaze shot into the village like lightning.

The rest of the ninja followed close behind.

After successfully infiltrating Hidden Hot Water Village,

the Earth Release ninja began carrying out the plan.

[Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!]

All Earth Release ninja formed hand seals, then slammed both hands onto the ground.

Earthen walls erupted across the terrain, slicing it apart and keeping the enemy separated.

Immediately after, the Water Release ninja began forming seals.

[Water Release: Watery Turbulence!]

The Water Release ninja spewed water from their mouths, directing torrents toward the Cloud and Hot Water Ninja.

The Earth Release ninja coordinated with the Water Release technique.

[Earth Release: Collapsing Rock Cavern!]

They injected chakra into the ground, shattering rocks. Mixed with water, this created a deadly mudslide.

Inside the mudslide, many Cloud and Hot Water Ninja found movement nearly impossible.

The Fire Release and Wind Release ninja were already prepared to unleash their jutsu.

[Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!]

[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!]

Combining wind and fire created a blazing gale.

The flaming winds swept across the battlefield, incinerating enemies trapped in the mudslide who couldn't escape.

At the front lines inside Hidden Hot Water Village, Fire Release ninja bombarded the area relentlessly with great fireballs, steadily advancing.

The Earth Release and Water Release ninja who had completed their roles also joined the frontal assault.

Lightning Release users naturally held a speed advantage. While supporting comrades falling back, they simultaneously eliminated isolated enemy ninja.

Orochimaru's battle formations proved completely effective.

Within moments, Hidden Hot Water Village descended into chaos.

So far, the operation had succeeded halfway—but the situation remained grim for the Konoha forces.

Because within the village, the enemy outnumbered them severely.

Under command from various leaders among the Cloud and Hot Water Ninja, the enemy began fighting back in organized fashion.

At that moment,

Chinya and Minato Namikaze's mission officially began.

Their objective was the enemy commanders.

Chinya had an especially simple yet direct way of identifying command officers—

Using the Sharingan.

The Sharingan's enhanced visual perception allowed Chinya to read the expressions of even distant enemies with perfect clarity.

Chinya carefully watched the mouths of the ninja. 

Chinya marked whoever spoke the most as the enemy commander. 

[Thunder Breathing, First Form: Lightning Flash! Sixfold Slash!] 

Chinya shot forward like a roaring bolt of lightning, bouncing off the terrain to shift his course multiple times. As he passed through, the ninja blocking his path were either paralyzed by the lightning or sent flying, their bodies badly damaged. 

When he reached the target, Chinya unsheathed his ninja sword in an instant. 

The enemy didn't even blink before his head was severed with Chinya's Ninja Sword. 

At the same time, Chinya immediately used the Shifting Body Technique to disengage. 

Because on the corpse of the commander he had just slain, Chinya had attached several Explosive Tags. 

The explosive tags detonated, injuring or killing the ninja who were close to the corpse.
