Chapter 565: The Immortal Fights the Jinchūriki, and Takes Charge in Times of Crisis

The perception team that Jiraiya requested solved the problem of the assassination at Iwagakure.

However, it was not the perception team that cooperated with Minato Namikaze to kill those ninjas who came to assassinate, but the Iwagakure assassin team disappeared and did not attack again.

Jiraiya thought that this might be a small mistake in intelligence, which led to the assassination team learning the news early and thus gave up the assassination.

Although the process was different from what he had imagined, it still solved the problem, so Jiraiya didn't care too much.

The final outcome on the battlefield will still require a major war, and small-scale harassment will not play a decisive role.

However, what happened next was somewhat beyond Jiraiya's expectations.

Iwagakure demonstrated super strong intelligence capabilities. Even though the Konoha Ninja Force had the help of the local ninja force, Kusanagi Village, the Konoha Ninja Force was still at a disadvantage in the intelligence war.

Unable to detect the movements of the enemy ninja troops, their own ninja troops' actions were repeatedly exposed and then failed.

Jiraiya, who had lost, even suspected that there was a high-ranking Iwagakure spy in the intelligence department.

But this is also unlikely because someone with a dirty resume cannot get this position.

There's no way there's a spy in the Anbu.

Faced with continuous defeats, Jiraiya chose to switch from offense to defense, narrowing the range of activities of the Konoha ninjas and minimizing the damage as much as possible.

He had no choice but to do this. The defeat in the intelligence war had made them lose the initiative. In this situation, insisting on being tough would only allow Iwagakure to continue to expand its advantage.

However, what Jiraiya did not expect was that just as he was about to enter a full defensive state, the information about the large troop camp was somehow known to Iwagakure.

Boom! !

A huge explosion suddenly occurred in the Konoha Ninja Camp, scaring Jiraiya and others who were looking at the map and studying strategy.

"Lord Jiraiya, it's bad, we've been discovered by the Iwagakure troops!" A Konoha jonin hurried into the tent and reported.

"Iwagakure is attacking us?" Jiraiya frowned. "What's going on with the perception team?"

The reason why he chose to defend was that he wanted to use the advantages of Konoha's excellent perception ninjas to offset the disadvantage in the intelligence war.

As a result, even though the Iwagakure attacked, there was no movement from the Perception Squad.

"Not sure. The perception team did not issue any early warning notification." The Konoha Jonin shook his head.

Boom! !
There was another loud explosion. Jiraiya knew that now was not the time to think about the failure of the perception team. What he had to do was to lead the Konoha ninja troops out of the crisis.

Jiraiya passed the Konoha Jonin and prepared to command the Konoha ninja troops to counterattack.

At this moment, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Konoha Jonin, and he quickly took out a kunai and stabbed towards Jiraiya.

boom!
With extremely quick reaction, Minato Namikaze burst out his chakra and kicked the Konoha Jonin away.

Jiraiya was stunned, he never expected that the Konoha ninja would attack him.

He is a senior ninja of the Sarutobi clan, how could there be a spy here?

"The technique of messing up the lion's hair!"

After all, Jiraiya is a powerful ninja who has experienced hundreds of battles. Although he is puzzled by Sarutobi Jonin's attack, Jiraiya still quickly uses ninjutsu to attack Sarutobi Jonin.

Regardless of Sarutobi Jonin's identity, the fact that Sarutobi Jonin attacked him is already a fact, so Sarutobi Jonin is the enemy.

The commander of the battlefield attack, even if Jiraiya killed him on the spot, no one would be able to say anything.

shhhhh!

At this time, several conical stones came crashing down.

Jiraiya recognized that it was the explosive method of Iwakura, the deputy captain of the Iwagakure Demolition Corps, and immediately changed his tactics. His extended long hair flew back to defend and wrapped around Jiraiya's body.

Whoosh!
Minato Namikaze uses the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer.

Boom! !
Explosions sounded one after another, and the rocks flying towards Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze suddenly exploded, and the violent explosion of white light enveloped Jiraiya.

Phew! !
Minato Namikaze knew that such an attack could not kill Jiraiya, so after transferring, he immediately threw several Flying Thunder God Kunai at Iwaku.

"Your opponent is not me." Iwaku spit out a stone to blast away the attacking Flying Thunder God Kunai, then quickly retreated.

He was self-aware and understood that he was not suitable to deal with a ninja like Minato Namikaze who had maxed out his speed.

Just when Minato Namikaze was about to chase after him, an extremely powerful chakra burst out.

"Minato Namikaze, have you thought about how you want to die?" Lao Zi walked out and blocked Minato Namikaze's way.

Namikaze Minato's expression became solemn. This was obviously a surprise attack intended to wipe out the Konoha ninjas of the Land of Grass in one fell swoop.

In his perception, not only the two captains of the Iwagakure blasting corps were present, but also the two great Chuuriki of Iwagakure were present.

"Psychic art!"

After blocking the incoming explosive release, Jiraiya immediately used the summoning beast to summon the two sages of Mount Myoboku.

"So much powerful chakra, little Jiraiya, it's going to be another tough battle." As soon as Fukasaku Sage came out, he sensed the chakra of the jinchūriki and the strong men of Iwagakure.

"What a bad time! I had almost figured out what to make for dinner, but my thoughts were interrupted by the summoning technique." Shima Sage complained.

"Mother, now is not the time to talk about this."

"Dad, don't underestimate the troubles of housewives."

"Stop arguing." Jiraiya noticed that the Sarutobi Jonin lying on the ground had disappeared inexplicably, and said helplessly.

"Hurry up and stand on my shoulders to enter Sage Mode. This time it's very dangerous."

Jiraiya is under a lot of pressure now. He is not worried about being punished for defeat, but he is worried that his troops will be defeated and the Iwagakure troops will directly invade the Land of Fire.

The two immortals also knew the seriousness of the situation. Without saying much, they quickly jumped onto Jiraiya's shoulders and began to absorb natural energy.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

Just as Jiraiya was about to use Sage Mode, a sound similar to the whistle of a train was heard, and a man in red armor rushed towards Jiraiya.

Whoosh!
boom!
Jiraiya suddenly jumped up and dodged, and a huge hole appeared on the ground where he had just stood.

Han looked at Jiraiya calmly, and he didn't feel surprised by this.

If the legendary three ninjas were so easy to kill, Jiraiya would have died at his or Lazuli's hands long ago.

"Fairy Mode!"

After condensing the natural power, Jiraiya merged the chakra with the natural power into a stronger fairy chakra. A mask appeared on his face and his nose showed a little tendency to become more like a toad.

"The situation is not as bad as I imagined." Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief when he entered the Sage Mode and sensed the situation on the entire battlefield.

There was no information from the perception squad, and with the mystery of Sarutobi's betrayal, Jiraiya thought that half of the entire ninja unit might have died as soon as he opened his perception.

But the actual result was much better than Jiraiya expected.

Currently, there are about 700 Konoha ninjas fighting hard against Iwagakure.

What Jiraiya didn't know was that the Iwagakure, who seemed to be in control of the situation and had a great success, was also quite confused.

Riishi did get information about the Konoha ninja camp from Iwagakure intelligence personnel, but the intelligence did not confirm that this was Konoha's main force.

Moreover, Lieshi is not one of those reckless people like Yunyin who rushed forward as soon as they got the information.

What if it is a trap set by the opponent to lure the enemy in?
And if it really is Konoha's main force, there will definitely be a lot of sensory ninjas on guard, so a sneak attack would be almost impossible to succeed.

But if you don't try the information, you will lose out.

Finally, Lishi came up with a solution. He divided the two thousand ninja troops into three small teams.

He will lead the first small unit, which has only 500 people but most of them are elites. The Jinchuriki and the demolition team will be in this elite unit.

The second and third small units are both regular units, standing by on both sides behind the elite small unit.

The first is to prevent falling into a trap and being surrounded, and the second is to block the location to the greatest extent to prevent the Konoha ninja troops from escaping.

If he is sure that the cracked stone is not a trap, he will immediately send out a signal for the two regular troops to surround it and attack together.

Lieshi never expected that he led his troops all the way to the Konoha camp, but was discovered by patrolling ninjas only when he was near the camp, as if all the Konoha perception team were dead.

Before seeing the many Konoha ninjas, Lishi once thought that this was not the main force of Konoha ninjas.

Boom boom! !
Lishi used explosive techniques to bomb unscrupulously. It didn't matter what problems the Konoha ninja troops encountered. What mattered was that he was going to make great achievements and become famous.

The ninja army led by the three ninjas Jiraiya was about to be defeated and destroyed by him.

"Psychic art!"

Jiraiya slammed the ground and two giant toads appeared at his feet.

One of the toads was red, with a pipe in its mouth and a dagger on its waist. The other was a purple-red toad, carrying a large pot cover on its back and holding a harpoon covered with thorns in its hand.

"You guys stop the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, I'll go deal with the opposing commander." Jiraiya said quickly.

The principle of capturing the leader first is also applicable in the ninja world. If Jiraiya can deal with the stone-breaking, not to mention turning defeat into victory, at least the morale of the opponent's ninja troops can be reduced by several levels.

"What, I fight the tailed beast?" Gamabunta's eyelids twitched violently.

Although it is not much smaller than the tailed beasts in size, it is somewhat difficult for the Toad to fight the tailed beasts head-on.

"Although I'm clumsy, I will try my best to stop him." Toad Jian replied in a deep voice.

"It only takes a short time to block it, please!" After saying that, Jiraiya locked onto the Stone Splitter, burst out with chakra, and dodged away instantly.

Han turned around and tried to give chase, but Toadjian suddenly jumped up and swung the harpoon at Han.

Han stopped and the chakra power of the tailed beast in his body exploded. With the persistence of Boiling Release, his strength increased rapidly.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

Han grabbed the harpoon swung by Toad Jian with one hand.

Toad Jian wanted to crush Han with all his strength, but under Han's terrifying power, the harpoon did not move at all. Not only could it not be pressed down, Toad Jian could not even pull it back.

"You bastard, go to hell!"

Gamabunta drew the dagger from his waist and slashed at Han.

Although it is called a "dagger", that is in comparison with Gamabunta's huge body. In fact, the length of this dagger is several times that of Han.

Han pushed Gamaken hard, forcing him to retreat repeatedly, and then used the body-flickering technique to dodge Gamabunta's slash.

Han knew that Jiraiya's two summoned beasts were not simple, and it would be difficult to deal with them without showing real strength, so he quickly activated the tailed beast chakra in his body. The dark red chakra that looked extremely ominous rose rapidly from Han's body, turning Han into a dark red monster with five tails.

Jiraiya, who rushed towards the cracked stone, felt Han's chakra growing stronger, and his sense of urgency grew.

He was the only ninja at the scene who was qualified to fight the Jinchuriki head-on. Minato could only serve as a distraction at best. He had to get rid of the Split Stone as quickly as possible.

"Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!"

Jiraiya quickly refined the fairy chakra in his body into oil and held it in his mouth. Finally, at the moment of spitting it out, he changed the nature of the fire attribute chakra to ignite the oil.

Whoops! !
A large amount of flames suddenly appeared, directly burning to death several Iwagakure ninjas closest to Jiraiya, and then rushed towards the cracked rock with undiminished momentum.

Although the name sounds plain, the Great Fire Bomb that Jiraiya unleashed in Sage Mode is extremely powerful, surpassing most of the fire techniques in the ninja world.

Although Lishi had practiced hardening techniques well, he did not dare to collide head-on with it and retreated rapidly.

"Explosive Style: Exploding Rock!"

Seeing that his captain was in trouble, Iwakuni quickly spit out explosive flying stones to help Lieshi block Jiraiya's fairy fire escape.

"Psychic art!"

Jiraiya once again used the summoning technique and summoned a giant toad with green skin.

Jiraiya asked Gamahiro to deal with Iwakura and the surrounding Iwagakure jonin, while he continued to hunt down Riisei.

"Those who can retreat, please retreat as much as possible. The enemy has reinforcements!" Jiraiya ordered the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield.

The powerful perception of Sage Mode allowed him to sense the chakra approaching from a distance.

Of course, you don't need to sense it to know it, because Lishi is firing flares openly.

"Immortal Technique: Thousand Needles!"

Jiraiya was already very powerful in Sage Mode, and with the assistance of two sages, Reishi was no match for him and Jiraiya quickly seized the opportunity.

Under the effect of Senjutsu Chakra, Jiraiya's white hair became sharp and hard.

Even though Lishi had practiced hardening techniques well, he could only partially block the attack, and his body was soon covered in blood under the violent blows of Baimao Qianben.

"What a waste!"

"Molten Escape: Burning River Rock Technique!"

Lao Zi, who was chasing after Minato Namikaze, had to give up on Minato Namikaze and rushed towards Jiraiya, spitting out a huge lava fireball and hitting Jiraiya.

"Spiral pills!"

Minato Namikaze seized the opportunity, and the large amount of chakra condensed in his palm exploded, and he quickly rolled out a ball and threw it at Lao Zi.

But because Lao Zi was in the Melting Chakra Mode and had a high-temperature Melting Armor on his body, Minato's Rasengan not only failed to hurt Lao Zi, but even burned his own hand.

"The defense is so high." Minato Namikaze was a little helpless.

Once the enemy's defense exceeds the power of the Rasengan, it will be difficult for Minato Namikaze to pose a threat to the enemy.

Lao Zi continued to rush towards Jiraiya without looking back.

Because he knew that if he turned back he might not be able to kill Minato Namikaze, but if he didn't turn back, Reishi would really die.

Although he didn't think much of Rishi, he was after all a battlefield commander and the captain of the Iwagakure blasting corps. If he died at the hands of Jiraiya, it would have a very bad impact.

"Water Slash!"

Shima Sennin formed a seal and spit out a high-pressure water stream to cut off the incoming fireball, then hurriedly said, "Little Jiraiya, retreat quickly."

Not only the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was attacking, but the Five-Tails Jinchuriki had also repelled Gamabunta and Gamaken and was rushing towards them at top speed.

Whoosh!
Jiraiya had no choice but to cancel the ninjutsu and step away.

"What a pity, it was just a little bit short." Looking at the cracked stone covered with wounds, Jiraiya thought to himself what a pity.

If the Jinchuriki had been two seconds later, Reishi would have surely died from his senjutsu.

"Minato, use large-scale ninjutsu to attack." Jiraiya reminded Minato Namikaze while concentrating chakra.

Now Jiraiya has only one goal, which is to cover the evacuation of as many Konoha ninjas as possible.

With his powerful strength and Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu, it would be difficult for Iwagakure to keep them.

Ordinary Konoha ninjas don't have the conditions like them, so they need help from others.

As long as enough ninjas withdraw, Konoha will not suffer a crushing defeat in this war, but just a setback.

Waiting for the arrival of Konoha reinforcements, and then gathering together, they will form another powerful ninja unit.

"Senpō Goemon!"

Jiraiya and the two sages on his shoulders performed ninjutsu at the same time, Sage Fukasaku used wind jutsu, Sage Shima used fire jutsu, and Jiraiya spit out chakra oil.

All three ninjutsu are fairy techniques blessed by fairy chakra. The three fairy techniques complement each other and eventually become the terrifyingly powerful Goemon.

One of the Iwagakure was unable to dodge and died instantly without even a scream.

"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

Namikaze Minato jumped onto Gamabunta's head, formed hand seals to condense chakra and change the nature of the fire chakra, while Gamabunta refined the chakra to make toad oil.

With the combined efforts of the two, the terrifying flames instantly burned everything within a few dozen meters to black.

Minato Namikaze also signed a contract with Myobokusan and is an old acquaintance of Gamabunta.

However, due to his combat style, Minato Namikaze generally does not use summoning techniques to summon the toads of Mount Myoboku.

"Then let's see whose ninjutsu is stronger!"

Upon seeing this, Lao Zi exerted the power of the tailed beast in his body to the extreme, and his body rapidly changed into a giant monkey with a tail.

Lao Zi opened his mouth wide, a huge amount of chakra condensed, and a black ball slowly appeared in the air.

"Don't..." Lieshi wanted to stop him.

This Tailed Beast Ball will divide the battlefield, and the Konoha ninjas will be eager to escape as far away, so it will not have much impact on them.

But for the Iwagakure who wanted to chase, the impact would be huge. Who would dare to chase someone under the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball?

The sound of the injured rock cracking was a little faint. Lao Zi might not have heard it, or he might have heard it but didn't want to pay attention to it.

In short, at that moment the Tailed Beast Ball, representing the power of destruction, flew out and smashed between Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.

Whoosh!
Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Jiraiya's side.

In order to facilitate combat, Jiraiya always carried Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai with him when on the battlefield.

Then Minato Namikaze put his hand on Jiraiya and once again activated the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to a distant marked place, while Jiraiya canceled the summoning technique and let the toads automatically return to Mount Myoboku.

"It was really thrilling. Fortunately, you were here, Minato." Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze's shoulder and said.

If it weren't for Minato Namikaze, he would have been in real danger this time.

It would be too difficult to fight against the Jinchuriki and the strong men of Iwagakure after being hit by the sword of Sarutobi Jonin.

"Teacher Jiraiya, the performance of Iwagakure in this war was really weird." Namikaze Minato said with a serious expression.

Jiraiya nodded in agreement.

Before today, who would have thought that a senior ninja from the Sarutobi clan would actually be a spy.

The Sarutobi clan is not only a veteran family of Konoha, but also produced the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Logically speaking, the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan are all of good origin and have no motive to betray.

"When Jonin Hiromi disappeared, the phenomenon was exactly the same as when the Iwagakure assassin team disappeared before." Namikaze Minato said seriously.

After using Flying Thunder God to dodge, Namikaze Minato was paying attention to Sarutobi Hiromichi.

Sarutobi Hiromichi's disappearance was very similar to using earth escape technique to drill into the ground, but it was obviously different from ordinary earth escape technique.

Because after Sarutobi Hiromichi merged into the underground, his aura disappeared immediately, as if he had never existed.

However, Minato Namikaze knew that Sarutobi Hiromichi existed, because although he could not sense Sarutobi Hiromichi's breath, he could sense the Flying Thunder God Mark left by him!

The moment he came into contact with Sarutobi Hiromi, Namikaze Minato left the Flying Thunder God technique on his body.

However, because the battle situation was too severe, Minato Namikaze could not get away, and coupled with the fact that Sarutobi Hiromichi was too fast and soon left his perception range, Minato Namikaze failed to capture Sarutobi Hiromichi.

"I see. This is really becoming more and more confusing." Jiraiya rubbed his forehead.

He was not a particularly smart person to begin with, and the various anomalies in this war had already overloaded his CPU.

"But since you, Minato, have already left the Flying Thunder God Mark on him, it will be easy. Next time we meet it, just capture it and torture it until it knows the truth." Jiraiya said with a breath.

The Flying Thunder God Mark has a special feature: it can never be eliminated unless the caster actively cancels it.

In other words, the next time they meet Sarutobi Hiromichi, Minato can directly fly over as Thunder God to arrest him.

Minato Namikaze nodded, he had the same idea.

"Gather the troops and report the situation to the village." Jiraiya dusted himself off and thought about the next task.

Although he suffered a defeat, Jiraiya was in a good mood. This was not the first time he lost to Iwagakure.

During the Second Ninja World War, Jiraiya was defeated by the Rain Ninja.

…………

"This is what happened. The Grass Country troops were damaged, and now the Grass Country Iwagakure is rampant. No one knows when they will launch an attack on the border."

After briefly describing the current situation on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke to Mu Yue in a deep voice.

"Sir Sandaime, is there anything I can do?" Mu Yue asked directly.

The character he created is a ninjutsu genius, not a highly intelligent military strategist like the Nara clan. If Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to come and talk about the current situation of the war, then there is only one possibility.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted Mu Yue to be a firefighter and go to the battlefield to help Jiraiya.

"Mu Yue, I'm very happy that you have such awareness. Now I order you to command the support troops and lead five hundred ninjas to the Land of Grass to support the Land of Grass troops!" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, then gave the order with a serious face.
