Jiraiya VS Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and A, Killer Bee Combination

The northern front line of Konoha.

The overall commander was one of the Sannin, Jiraiya.

The situation was tense, and he had to remain in the Land of Fire to establish defenses.

There was another very important reason for choosing this location.

It was very close to the Land of Hot Water.

That was a country famous for its hot springs...

Jiraiya certainly wouldn't neglect his duties now, but wars always ended eventually...

At that time, his tired body and mind would need healing.

Inside his tent, he meticulously observed the garrisons along the border, his peripheral vision occasionally glancing at the Land of Hot Water in a corner of the map.

Hurry up and end this war, I just want to travel around and collect stories in peace...

Suddenly, a ninja, without announcing himself, rushed into the command tent.

"J-Jiraiya-sama!"

"A sensory ninja detected a massive chakra signature at the front lines!"

"Far beyond that of a normal ninja... it's highly likely a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki!"

Jiraiya's brow furrowed.

Unless it was a ninja like Roshi or Han, who had used Tailed Beast powers in multiple battles.

Normally, villages didn't have intel on other ninja villages' Jinchuriki.

Especially Kumogakure, there hadn't been any news about their Jinchuriki for many years; intel indicated their Tailed Beasts were sealed in Six Paths ninja tools.

Was it the Two-Tails, or the Eight-Tails?

Had Kumogakure found a suitable vessel?

That location... it could also be Iwagakure...

I'll go take a look first.

Having personally witnessed the power of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails, Jiraiya didn't blindly overestimate himself.

"You report back to the village, I'll go take a look."

After packing his ninja tools and scrolls, Jiraiya immediately headed for the border.

By the time Jiraiya arrived, the scene was already a disaster, with heavy casualties among the stationed Konoha ninja.

Whoosh!

Before Jiraiya could even figure out what was going on.

A kunai shot towards him, aiming directly for his face.

Clang!

Jiraiya swung his arm, deflecting the kunai, and his gaze fixed on a certain spot.

Amidst the shadows of the trees, a group of people appeared via instant transmission. The one leading them wore a hood, his left eye covered by a black eyepatch, his face stern and resolute.

"It's Jiraiya, long time no see."

Jiraiya's expression grew grave, and he spoke in a low voice to the approaching figure.

"Dodai... is Kumogakure trying to tear up the peace treaty!"

The Raikage's close confidant, a ninja with the Lava Release Bloodline Limit, held a status almost equivalent to Jiraiya's in Konoha.

The appearance of someone like him... undoubtedly meant a declaration of war!

"Konoha and Iwagakure also have a treaty, yet you didn't hesitate to attack them."

"Dodai, stop wasting words with them!"

A powerfully built young man with dark skin and light yellow hair said loudly:

"We heard that Konoha's Uchiha were very effective against the Four-Tails. For us Uchiha clan members who have awakened our Sharingan, especially that Kagami Uchiha, we'll retreat!"

Jiraiya took a step back, and upon hearing this, he no longer wanted to waste words.

Coveting his village's comrades was absolutely intolerable!

What's more...

They were asking for his disciple right off the bat!

Did they really think I, the Toad Sage, was a pushover!

Snake - Dog - Rooster - Monkey - Sheep (Hand Seals)

Dodai sensed something was wrong and quickly shouted:

"Everyone scatter!!"

Pop!

"Ninjutsu - Summoning Technique!"

"Summoning: Toad Release!"

Boom!!

After a world-shattering roar, a colossal figure descended like Mount Tai!

A rough voice echoed through the heavens.

"Hey, hey! Jiraiya, you idiot, you know I'm usually eating around this time, right!"

With a giant pipe in his mouth, bandages around his waist, and a short sword tucked away, it was the leader of Mount Myōboku's Three Great Toad Sages, Gamabunta.

"I'll treat you to a drink later. The enemy is tricky."

Jiraiya's gaze was fixed on one person.

His hair was half white, half green, and there was a purple mark on his right cheek...

This ominous chakra...

Jiraiya quickly made a judgment.

"Gamabunta, use your oil!"

"Got it!"

Among the trees, many Kumogakure ninja were scattered.

"What a huge toad! Super big! Giant!" a dark-skinned kid wearing sunglasses said in a strange tone.

"Killer Bee, focus."

A was somewhat excited, looking at the giant toad. "Summoning: Toad Release, huh? Let's use this Konoha Sannin as our first step to fame!"

"OK! A, Bee~ Fame!"

"Watch out for protection! He's going to use a large-scale ninjutsu!"

Dodai, an outstanding sensory ninja, noticed the massive toad and Jiraiya channeling a large amount of chakra, and quickly warned them.

A still lacked experience. He could have chatted a bit longer, maybe there would have been a chance for a surprise attack.

Getting the title of 'A' at such a young age made him lack caution.

Whoosh!!

Gamabunta's cheeks bulged, and a large amount of oil was sprayed out.

Jiraiya simultaneously released Fire Release.

A combined ninjutsu.

"Fire Style: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!!"

Scorching flames erupted instantly, as if capable of devouring everything.

The blazing inferno carried astonishing heat and destructive power.

Because the fire fed on the oil, its impact was extremely strong. Tall trees were instantly shattered and burned!

Seeing the situation was bad, A immediately grabbed Killer Bee and retreated at high speed, constantly escaping the range of the flames.

With that person there, he wasn't worried about his companions' safety.

"Lava Style: Rubber Wall!"

Dodai converted the chakra within his body into rubber, spewing it from his mouth to form an elastic membrane, intending to protect everyone.

However, the Toad Oil Flame Bullet not only had the burning property of fire but also carried immense impact. It had almost shattered the membrane upon contact.

"Mr. Dodai, let me handle it."

A calm voice sounded. The Kumogakure ninja with the Yin and Yang hairstyle had crimson chakra surging around him.

A terrifying aura rose, and a giant crimson chakra claw, with just a swing, stirred up a violent hurricane!

The fierce flames reversed, and Gamabunta quickly leaped high into the air.

In mid-air, Jiraiya looked at the ninja wrapped in the Tailed Beast Cloak and counted the number of tails.

A drop of cold sweat trickled down.

It's... the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki...

This is troublesome.

Thump.

Jiraiya summoned another small, pale purple toad, which also had a pair of small wings.

He quickly took out paper and a pen, wrote a secret message, and stuffed it into the toad's mouth.

"I'm counting on you, take this intel to headquarters!"

The purple toad flapped its wings and flew away, and Gamabunta landed with a roar.

"It's a Tailed Beast..." Gamabunta mused, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

Never mind the Eight-Tails, even the Nine-Tails, I, Boss Toad, am not afraid of.

"Fū, leave that big guy to you, and Jiraiya to us!"

A returned with Killer Bee, unsure how to handle such a large creature.

If the opponent were human, they would dare to unleash the Lariat even with the Hokage present!

"...Okay."

As a renowned ninja, Jiraiya's fighting style was known to all parties.

The combined ninjutsu he performed with his Summoning Beasts was too powerful, so it was best to deal with them separately.

"Mr. Dodai, you should withdraw first. This is no longer a battle you can participate in."

Fū's voice was cold and distant. He wasn't originally like this.

But after becoming a Jinchuriki, he found that the attitudes of those around him towards him had changed, which increasingly exhausted his mind and body, making him unwilling to get too close to his companions.
