The messy forest now seems to have been ravaged by two giant beasts. The woods are broken into pieces, the ground is ravaged, there is water everywhere, and there are traces of a fierce battle.
Jiraiya looked around, his heart sinking. What happened here? What happened to Neji now?
Following the traces around him, he kept heading towards the depths. To be honest, at this moment, he didn't dare to have any expectations.
After all, it was so brutal here, as if two Kage Level ninjas had fought. This is not Jiraiya's exaggeration.
It was the reflection of the scene that really forced him to make such a judgment, and the facts were right in front of him.
Suddenly there was a slight noise, Jiraiya perked up and quickly headed over there.
A weak figure, holding on to the branches with both hands for support, walked reluctantly, making Jiraiya look happy.
"Neji! Great, you didn't..."
Jiraiya, who landed next to Neji, immediately closed his mouth when he saw Neji's miserable state.
Neji slowly raised his head and said with difficulty, "It's Lord Jiraiya!"
Click!
The branch supported by his hand suddenly broke. Jiraiya stretched out his hand to support Neji, with a trace of remorse in his eyes.
It was because of his negligence that the other party acted separately and took Neji away, which made him feel very sad.
Misjudgment!
Not enough attention was left to protect them, but fortunately, Neji did not die, but the current situation is not optimistic.
As for how Neji survived, it won't be too late to ask when the situation is stable.
"Hold on Neji, I'll take you back right now!"
Jiraiya briefly inspected Neji's body, and found that the muscles were torn and the bones were cracked. The situation was very unsatisfactory.
He quickly picked it up and returned to the hotel.
His reaction made Neji's mouth curl up slightly. It seemed that using [Life Return] to control the injury was very useful.
After all, it was indeed a real injury, but not that serious. The current situation was only amplified by his control with [Life Return].
Now there is no need to go looking for Tsunade together!
And on the other side of the forest.
Itachi's figure quickly shuttled through it, looking at the traces around him, he was as shocked as Jiraiya.
Isn't Kisame the same Genin that solves Hyuga Clan?
Why is this happening now? Did you meet someone else?
With extremely fast speed, he quickly determined the location of Kisame, and was shocked by the suddenly clear view through the forest.
A ravine several meters wide and more than one meter deep appeared in front of him, and the end point was where Kisame was located.
His eyes condensed, and at this moment, Kisame had transformed into a half-human, half-fish state. A huge hole was opened in his chest, which was slowly healing, which surprised Itachi slightly.
"I didn't expect you to be injured to this extent. Is anyone else here?"
"Ahem!"
Kisame spit out a mouthful of blood, looked up at Itachi, and forced a smile.
"That's not true. We underestimated that Hyuga Estate brat. He is obviously a Genin, but he can explode with such terrifying strength."
"Also, can you get some Chakra? The Chakra stored in Samehada is not enough to restore."
Itachi was silent and pulled Kisame up, while passing Chakra for Kisame to recover.
Kisame, who stood up, was supplemented by Chakra. He quickly recovered from his injuries, released the fusion state with [Samehada], and returned to his fishlike appearance.
Itachi questioned, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave before we leave!"
The two of them immediately disappeared from the spot, preparing to return to report that the mission had failed.
On the way, Itachi asked, "What happened?"
And Kisame showed a solemn look, looked at Itachi and said slowly, "Do you know how [Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist] escaped with four deaths and three escapes?"
Itachi said calmly, "I know!"
"Is it Eight Gates?"
"Yeah!"
Kisame nodded, showing a trace of memory. That punch was still deeply engraved in his mind and could not be forgotten.
"That guy shot Six Gates Gate of View, just one punch, just one punch, and he beat me like this."
"You're careless."
Hearing Itachi's words, Kisame did not deny it. What ninjas fight is intelligence. Fighting with intelligence and fighting without intelligence are two different things.
If he meets him again next time, he will definitely not be in such a mess and be beaten like this.
"Itachi, can you tell me about [Eight Gates]?"
Itachi was silent for a while, and then said, "Actually, I don't know much about it. Eight Gates is..."
When you leaked the information about [Akatsuki], you were extremely straightforward, and when you brought up the Konoha information, you were hesitant, as expected of you!
In the inn town, inside the hotel.
At this time, Kai tracked Itachi and Kisame and arrived here. After learning about the situation from Naruto, when he was about to go, Jiraiya had already returned to the hotel with Neji on his back.
This made Kai's expression change, and he quickly stepped forward to check. Neji on the bed seemed to have recovered a little.
Weakly said, "Teacher Might Guy!"
This made Kai a little excited. "Are you okay, Neji! What happened to you?"
Neji slowly spoke out his prepared words, and the three of them were a little silent.
"It turns out that you managed to escape with the first shot Six Gates. Thank you so much for your hard work, Neji!"
Although Kai and Jiraiya were a little shocked that Neji was able to open the first Six Gates, it is true that only this situation can explain what happened over there.
The original intelligence about the battle against Gaara actually only reported that Neji used secret techniques to briefly suppress Gaara from Tailed Beast Transformation.
When it comes to secret techniques, names are only mentioned and no detailed reports are given. This is considered an unspoken rule.
As for the others, this idiot Naruto never thought of saying these things, he was just bragging about himself, and Great Toad Boss is awesome.
As an Avenger, Sasuke knew Neji very well, so he kept silent and did not expose Neji's true strength.
Jiraiya and Kai asked Neji to have a good rest and left the room. Naruto looked at the injured people on the bed one by one with a heavy heart.
It seems that his proud strength has no effect at all in this situation.
Even Neji, who was stronger than him, became like this, feeling powerless in his heart.
I secretly made up my mind that I must practice seriously with Perverted Sage this time!
After a while, Jiraiya and Kai walked in again, and Kai said to Jiraiya.
"I understand. I will take Sasuke back right away, but Neji will leave it to Lord Jiraiya."
"Well, don't worry and leave it to me. After all, I am partly at fault."
The conversation between the two reached Neji's ears, which made Neji stunned.
ha?
If you don't send me back to Konoha, are you going to take him away with you?
What a fat thing!?
I'm pretending to be seriously injured and I don't want to go. This is a waste of my time!
Jiraiya said, "So don't worry, we will definitely find Tsunade to treat Neji when the time comes."
Kai nodded. "Then I'm relieved, but Neji has Medical Ninjutsu, so it won't be a problem to regain mobility, and Lord Jiraiya can also rest assured."
Ugh! Teacher Might Guy, are you even going to backstab me?
Thanks for the tip, boss!
