That was right. To destroy the Four Violet Flames Formation, the best method was the third option:
Find a ninja proficient in Genjutsu and directly attack the barrier casters from afar.
However, compared to a Jonin like Kurenai Yuhi, who specialized in Genjutsu, Jiraiya himself leaned more toward training in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
At present, most of the Genjutsu he had mastered relied on Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima of Mount Myōboku.
Just now, Jiraiya had been hesitating over whether he should rashly ask the two elders to intervene at this stage.
But after hearing the Third Hokage's orders, Jiraiya immediately understood.
Clearly, his teacher had made up his mind to settle things with Orochimaru once and for all.
As his student, he naturally had to respect his teacher's wishes.
Jiraiya told him to take care and left to look for Kurenai Yuhi.
On the other side, Sasuke's battle against Temari and the others had already begun.
Kankuro rushed forward with his fists raised. Sasuke twisted and dodged, then knocked him over with a chop of his hand.
Seeing this, Temari carried Gaara through the broken window and fled.
"Don't even think about running!"
Sasuke shouted and hurried after them.
The moment he poked his head out, a Sickle Weasel came flying at him, forcing Sasuke to pull back inside.
Kankuro seized the chance to grab Sasuke's lower leg, refusing to let him leave.
Sasuke turned and fired a kunai. Kankuro immediately released him and rolled away, looking every bit the Tough Guy as he adopted a hit-and-run style.
Sasuke had no desire to get tangled up with him. He kicked off again and charged out the window.
On the rooftop, Temari and Gaara stood apart. Once Sasuke identified their positions, his hands rapidly formed seals.
