Naruto, But With Li's Peerless Flying Dagger

Therefore, the best way to use this ninjutsu was to leave the enemy's head on the ground, and then instantly jump out of the ground and cut off the enemy's head.

"Naive!"

Feeling the pulling force on his ankle, Li Anshi shook his head and gently lifted his foot, directly pulling Orochimaru, who had sneaked into the ground through ninjutsu, out of the ground by most of his body, leaving only his waist and below still underground.

With a twist and extension of his right leg, Li Anshi directly used his foot to pin Orochimaru's right hand, controlling him like Jiraiya.

The difference was that Jiraiya was controlled by Li Anshi with his hand, while Orochimaru was controlled by Li Anshi with his foot.

"Wait!"

"Anshi, stop!"

Seeing Li Anshi make a move, Tsunade was immediately anxious and quickly spoke.

Tsunade naturally also saw the two people who attacked Li Anshi.

They were her two classmates who were accepted as disciples by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with her.

To be able to be chosen by the Third Hokage along with her, Orochimaru and Jiraiya's talents were naturally not low.

But, no matter how talented a teenager was, before they transformed their talent into strength, they were just ants.

And Li Anshi?

Although Tsunade had not seen Li Anshi make a move, Lady Mito had said that even Master Hiruzen, if he was slightly careless, might be killed by Li Anshi when he unleashed his full strength.

The reason why she dared to point her weapon at Li Anshi was, on the one hand, that Tsunade was sure that Li Anshi would not attack her.

On the other hand, Tsunade was showing Li Anshi her determination to protect Konoha.

But Jiraiya and Orochimaru, they neither had the relationship between her and Li Anshi, nor did they have enough strength.

They attacked Li Anshi, would Li Anshi let them go?

Tsunade didn't want her two friends to be killed by Li Anshi just like that.

Fortunately, things didn't develop as Tsunade had worried.

However, after Jiraiya and Orochimaru were controlled by Li Anshi, Tsunade quickly put the kunai back into her ninja tool bag, and grabbed Li Anshi's arm with both hands to prevent Li Anshi from continuing to attack her two companions.

But, the ones Tsunade blamed first were her two companions.

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru, what are you doing? Anshi is not the enemy!"

"Eh?"

Tsunade's words stunned Jiraiya, who was shouting, and then he smiled foolishly.

"Idiot!"

Seeing this, Orochimaru muttered in a low voice, a trace of understanding flashing in his eyes.

Previously, when he saw Li Anshi and Tsunade, although Tsunade assumed a fighting stance, neither Li Anshi nor Tsunade had any "killing intent."

Therefore, Orochimaru had known long ago that Li Anshi was not the enemy.

However, since Jiraiya had already rushed out to attack, it was only right that he should stand by Jiraiya.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to test the gap between himself and a real ninja.

However, Orochimaru also didn't expect that he and Jiraiya would be defeated so easily.

If they had met on the battlefield, they might have been killed in an instant, right?

Seeing that Jiraiya and Orochimaru had quieted down, Tsunade said to Li Anshi, "I'm sorry, Anshi, these two are my companions who were accepted as disciples by Master Hiruzen along with me. Could you, for my sake, not hold this offense against them?"

"Lady Tsunade, don't compare me to those people from the ninja clans."

Li Anshi shook his head, loosened his grip, and released Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who were being controlled by him.

Ignoring Jiraiya and Orochimaru's curious gazes, Li Anshi said to Tsunade, "The ninjas of the ninja clans are high and mighty, and they can't tolerate the slightest offense from civilian ninjas. But I'm just an ordinary civilian ninja, I wouldn't feel offended by such a small matter."

"On the contrary, I think highly of them. At least, when you are in danger, they will stand up for you. Although their intelligence is a bit lacking, their behavior is commendable."

Jiraiya pursed his lips. Obviously, he also knew that Li Anshi's "intelligence is a bit lacking" was referring to him.

"Alright, Lady Tsunade, I've said what I should and shouldn't have said to you. If you really want to protect Konoha and inherit the will of the First and Second Hokage, then work hard to cultivate and improve your strength to the 'Kage' level as soon as possible, and take over the position of the Fourth Hokage from the Third Hokage."

"Otherwise, without strength, everything you say is empty talk!"

After saying that, Li Anshi waved to Tsunade, turned and left, leaving Jiraiya and Orochimaru looking at Tsunade with surprised eyes.

Tsunade was the granddaughter of Konoha's First Hokage, which was no secret in Konoha.

After all, before the First Hokage passed away, he often took Tsunade to various casinos. In addition, Hashirama Senju had no airs and could get along with ordinary people in Konoha. Therefore, almost everyone in Konoha knew Tsunade.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were Tsunade's classmates, and they were also accepted as disciples by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, together. They had been together for nearly half a year.

Therefore, they also had a certain understanding of Tsunade.

But they had never heard Tsunade say that she had a dream of becoming Hokage.

Why would this person who seemed to be very familiar with Tsunade say that Tsunade should take over the position of Hokage from Master Hiruzen as soon as possible?

Of course, this thought only flashed through Orochimaru and Jiraiya's minds.

In their view, as the princess of Konoha, as long as Tsunade wanted to become Hokage, after the Third Hokage stepped down, the Fourth Hokage would undoubtedly be Tsunade.

There was no objection to this among all the ninjas and villagers of Konoha.

Then what did the words of this ninja mean?

Why did Tsunade assume an attacking stance towards him?

"Tsunade, who is that guy? His strength is so strong, Orochimaru and I together were no match for him."

"Hmph, he's just a guy who couldn't even pass the Ninja Academy's exam."

Perhaps she still had some resentment towards Li Anshi, so when Jiraiya asked about Li Anshi, Tsunade said in a huff.

"What? He couldn't pass the graduation exam, how did he become a ninja? Also, if even such a guy couldn't pass the graduation exam, then what are we?"

Jiraiya was shocked.

Although he had only exchanged one move with Li Anshi before, just this one move made Jiraiya know the gap between himself and Li Anshi.

They were accepted as disciples by the Third Hokage and graduated early from the Ninja Academy. The two of them together were actually instantly defeated by a ninja who couldn't pass the graduation exam...

If news of this spread, the two of them would become laughingstocks.

"Idiot!"

Hearing Jiraiya say this, several black lines appeared on the forehead of Orochimaru beside him.
