I'm doing scientific research in the Ninja World

Konoha 46th year

"Teacher, our mission this time has been completed. When will we return to the village?"

Minato, wearing a jonin vest, said to Jiraiya in front of him. Judging from his expression, he seemed very relaxed.

"Go ahead to explore the information. Since we are out, let's take a look at more movements in the Hidden Rock Village."

Jiraiya said without looking back. In Jiraiya's view, information is the key to victory or defeat. There is a big difference between having information and not having information.

Thick-skinned and white-fanged, healthy Itachi, Jiraiya is not in vain.

"Minato, you are not missing your girlfriend, are you?"

There are two teammates on both sides of Minato. One has slightly dark skin and white hair. His name is Dekai;

The other is also his teammate. He looks a bit like the second pillar. His name is Akai Shuichi. It is the three-person team led by Jiraiya.

"Dekai, singles like you can't understand people like us who have a partner."

Before Minato could answer, Shuichi on the side started to retort. Judging from his words, he was also a person who didn't lack a partner.

Jiraiya in front said that he was implied. Wasn't it obvious that he was showing his superiority in front of him?

"Haha, I'm afraid Kushina will be anxious after being out for so long."

Minato scratched his head embarrassedly. After fighting big and small, the immaturity on his face had gradually faded, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

"You know what, I also miss that bastard Tap Water."

Thinking of this, Jiraiya's eyes also showed a touch of tenderness. Tap Water was taken care of by Kakashi during the time he was out on a mission.

If Kakashi didn't have time, he would play with Might Guy. Both of them were orphans, so they could play together.

Might Guy was originally a good friend of Kakashi. He often came to Kakashi to train together. After a while, he also got to know Tap Water.

After Might Dai died in the battle, Kakashi comforted him for a while. He could empathize with the feeling of losing a loved one. In addition, Tapshui's situation was similar to theirs, so the three of them could naturally play together.

It must be said that the war made many people orphans, and there will probably be more in the future.

Fortunately, there are elders like Jiraiya to take care of them, otherwise their lives would be even more difficult.

This time, Jiraiya led the team. It was the first time to participate in such a big war in the ninja world. Several people were a little nervous at first, but under Jiraiya's leadership, they won several battles with the Hidden Rock Village.

All those who can come to the front line are experienced veteran ninjas, and they quickly adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield.

There is not much difference from the usual tasks. The biggest difference is that they start fighting without discussing anything.

If you win, you can continue to advance your mission, and if you lose, there is only one way to go.

Conflicts occurred frequently, and the number of opponents was not the usual three or five people who performed the mission. It could be thirty to fifty or even three to five hundred. It was possible that the battle would reach a fever pitch, and even three to five thousand people could be involved.

However, there were many teams like Jiraiya, who were mainly responsible for advancing on the battlefield, intelligence exploration, or decapitation operations, etc.

Quality is more important than quantity. In the words of Orochimaru's previous life, they were scouts among the special forces and the mouthpiece of Konoha.

As Jiraiya said, they were not in a hurry to return to the village. Jiraiya planned to change the route back to Konoha and take a look at the situation at other Konoha borders.

"Hmm?"

Just when several people were already fantasizing about their plans after returning to the village, Jiraiya's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Noticing Jiraiya's unusual movements, the three of them immediately became alert and quickly explored the surrounding environment.

"No abnormality was detected within three kilometers!"

As the perception-type ninja in the team, Shuichi reported the situation after exploring a circle.

"Teacher, did you find anything?"

The rest of the people didn't find anything unusual either, Minato asked with some doubt in his eyes, but they didn't relax and kept fighting at all times.

"I'm a little uneasy, it seems that a powerful ninja is approaching."

Jiraiya frowned, he had trained a keen sense of battle after hundreds of battles, and this feeling of uneasiness was sometimes very accurate.

The last time he felt this way was when the three ninjas were trapped in the cave and in a desperate situation.

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Shuichi started to explore again, and this time he searched more carefully.

"Still no discovery!"

This time Shuichi still told the results of his exploration, Minato and Shuichi also looked at Jiraiya with some doubts, but before they could speak, there was a strong earthquake under their feet.

"Not good! Be careful underground..."

Jiraiya was the first to react, grabbing the closest DekayiJumped away.

Minato was also not slow, and the moment he touched Shuichi, he moved Flying Thunder God.

Before they could land again, magma gushed out from where they were standing, accompanied by hot steam, exploding like a volcanic eruption.

"What is this...?"

A hundred meters away, Jiraiya put down Dekayi and looked at the scene. Dekayi, who had escaped by chance, also patted his chest in shock.

"It seems that we are being targeted!"

Minato also brought Shuichi behind Jiraiya, and when he heard Jiraiya's words, he hurriedly looked forward.

The hot magma spread out. If they didn't know that there were no volcanoes in the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, they really thought that the scene in front of them was a volcanic eruption.

"Han, I told you that this method wouldn't work!"

"Shut up, what qualifications do you, a traitor, have to lecture me!"

The voices of two people talking slowly came out from the steam, and their true faces were revealed when they walked out of the center of the explosion.

"Who are they? The Jinchūriki of Iwagakure, Old Purple?"

"The one with steam all over his body should be the Five-Tails Jinchūriki!"

Jiraiya and Dekayi revealed their identities one after another. After hearing their explanations, Minato and Shuichi's expressions became serious.

"I didn't expect them to appear here at the same time!"

"It seems that our luck is not very good!"

Jiraiya also cheered up. It was also his first time to face a Jinchūriki. After experiencing World War II, all the major ninja villages realized the role of Jinchūriki on the battlefield.

It can be said that almost every ninja village has more or less cultivated its own Jinchūriki. Iwagakure and Kumogakure have two Jinchūriki.

However, Old Purple, the restless guy, often ran away from home because of his personality differences with Ōnoki, and has been labeled a traitor. When the Ninja War broke out, he still had a conscience and knew to come back to help his country.

"Who did I think it was? Isn't this a ninja from Konoha?"

Han asked knowingly, his tone full of sarcasm. Lao Zi, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the faces of the people in front of him, and then looked forward with an arrogant expression.
