Hey, at Your Age, You Shouldn't Fly So High~
"By the way, Senior Yutoshi, Master is still fighting a Jonin from Stone Shinobi."
"It seems to be the frontline commander of Iwagakure."
Neji then remembered that Hagoromo was still locked in combat and quickly said something.
"What? No wonder I didn't see Lady Hagoromo."
Upon hearing this, the Yutoshi immediately got up and wanted to go over there.
"Neji, step back. That area is our territory."
"The Iwagakure forces in this area have just retreated."
She pointed in a direction, Neji his head and said, "No, I want to go too."
"Now is not the time to be emotional; the battlefield is not child's play."
The Yutoshi frowned.
Neji, however, wore a solemn expression. "I am also a ninja. My master is only worried about my safety."
But I can't just run away like this.
This was also what Neji had been thinking all along: although the enemy was powerful, he still wanted to be able to help them in some way.
"Okay, you can come with me."
The Yutoshi remained silent for a moment before speaking.
Neji nodded upon seeing this, and the two headed towards the direction where Hagoromo and Kitsuchi were fighting.
--
Just as Hagoromo was preparing to search for Neji's whereabouts, a tremendous explosion rang out.
The entire battlefield was instantly engulfed by the massive explosion and heat. Hagoromo turned her head to look.
"Tailed Beast Bomb?"
That amount of Chakra could only be created by Tailed Beast Bomb. After hesitating for a moment, Hagoromo raised his hand and created a Shadow Clone.
"Go find Neji and take him away from the battlefield!"
After saying that, Hagoromo ran straight towards the location of the explosion without looking back.
On the way there, Hagoromo also saw the retreat signal sent by Iwagakure.
It is estimated that the Kitsuchi has already been discovered.
Therefore, that position is most likely only occupied by the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and Ōnoki, among others.
That's good, at least we don't have to worry about the Konoha ninjas being affected later.
When Hagoromo arrived at the battlefield, he saw a giant Toad holding a katana; it was Gamabunta.
On the other side, a snow-white beast was roaring towards where Gamabunta was.
The burst of Chakra spread outwards as if it were a tangible substance.
"Hey! Jiraiya! Is this any way you can get away with this?!"
"If that happens again, I can't handle it!"
Gamabunta shouted at Jiraiya above, his mouth agape.
"We have to do it, even if it's difficult! If we can't hold them off, our comrades behind us will be in trouble!"
Jiraiya, his hair disheveled, was panting heavily. He Gamabunta had done their utmost to block the Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Tch, don't die!"
Gamabunta tucked his pipe behind his back, clearly annoyed, and looked at the Five-Tails in the distance.
"Jiraiya! Hand over Roshi! Or I'll wipe out every single Konoha Ninja on this battlefield!"
On the other side, Ōnoki floated in the air, looking down at the Five-Tails roaring like a beast, and then called out to Jiraiya.
"Haha! If you've got the guts, then attack Konoha and take it for yourself!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily, "Him! The disciple of the Third Hokage, known as the Toad Sage!"
How could we be someone who can be threatened?
"Speaking such nonsense! Let Konoha suffer some blood first!"
Ōnoki said no more and directly ordered the man beneath his feet to begin his actions.
Han's control over the Tailed Beasts is even worse than Roshi's; Jiraiya must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Thus, Konoha, without its commander, was nothing more than a disorganized mess.
"Hey, Jiraiya, looks like this time they're serious."
Gamabunta wore a solemn expression as the Five-Tails in the distance began gathering Chakra.
"Ah!"
Jiraiya responded with a serious expression.
"Oh, looks like you had a tough time?"
A voice suddenly appeared beside Jiraiya. Jiraiya was startled at first, then looked over in disbelief.
"Hagoromo!"
"You've solved the Kitsuchi?"
Jiraiya's voice was filled with disbelief, after all, Ōnoki had made it clear from the very beginning.
Hagoromo has been blocked by the Kitsuchi and is unlikely to come to their aid.
"Well, it was a bit troublesome, but it's definitely solved."
Hagoromo waved his hand dismissively, then looked at Ōnoki floating in the air and waved to him.
"Hey, you're so old, don't fly so high!"
What if I fall and hurt myself?
"Kids from Konoha, what's wrong with Kitsuchi!" Even though he didn't believe it, Ōnoki couldn't help but ask.
It hasn't been that long, and he knows perfectly well what kind of ability his son has.
I can't believe this brat arrived so quickly.
"Oh, you mean him? It's nothing—"
"I left him with a complete body."
"Isn't Ōnoki trying to kill me?" Hagoromo said indifferently.
Then come on!
As expected, Ōnoki flew into a rage upon hearing this, roaring, "You brat from Konoha! I'll take your life!"
"Hagoromo, watch out!"
Jiraiya only had time to give a warning before a beam of white, fluorescent light descended from the sky, heading straight for Gamabunta's head.
Boom--
The beam of light shot straight toward Hagoromo, determined to obliterate him completely.
"Yang Release: Armor!"
Hagoromo directly covered his hands with a massive amount of Yang Release Chakra, blocking the beam of light heading towards him.
"What?!"
Ōnoki was utterly incredulous. Someone had actually caught his Dust Release with their bare hands?
"Jiraiya- senpai! You can take the Five-Tails for now!"
With a shout, Hagoromo unleashed a massive Chakra from beneath his feet and leaped up from above Gamabunta's head.
Hey! What's going on?!
Gamabunta, already terrified by Ōnoki's Dust Release, felt as if his head was about to explode, and the next instant, his massive body crashed to the ground.
A huge cloud of dust was raised.
"Pooh!"
"Jiraiya! Who's that brat?"
Gamabunta struggled to his feet and asked in a very displeased tone.
Ah, my junior brother.
Jiraiya looked at the figure in the sky that was constantly pressing down on Ōnoki, and said:
"Gamabunta, we have to help too!"
"Sure! But I'll settle the score with that brat later!"
After saying that, Gamabunta leaped into the air and headed towards the Five-Tails on the ground.
"You wretched brat! I am the Third Tsuchikage!"
As Ōnoki saw Hagoromo continuously blocking his Dust Release pillar, his figure drew ever closer.
Helpless, he could only disperse the Chakra in his hands, and his figure once again soared into the sky.
Having the advantage of being able to fly, he was certainly not a fool.
"Old man! Don't think you're the only one who can fly!"
Seeing that Hagoromo wanted to fight her by using his height, Ōnoki did not hesitate and immediately used Hazy Moon Sage Mode.
The next instant, a cloud of mist appeared directly beneath his feet, and he chased after Ōnoki.
As Ōnoki flew rapidly, he glanced at Hagoromo, who was closing in behind him, and a furious expression appeared on his face.
