Suppressing the One-Tails, Ye Fan's Next Step

"Alright!"

Gamabunta nodded and charged towards the One-Tails Shukaku, which had fallen to the ground.

Leaping in front of the One-Tails, just as Gamabunta was about to plunge his sword into its body to secure it, a Void Bullet flew towards him.

Bang!

With a loud noise, Gamabunta was sent flying by a powerful force, almost dropping his pipe.

"Hoo... hoo... That hurt!" Gamabunta broke out in a cold sweat and cursed, "This guy, don't hit me with those chakra-filled balls! Even I can't take many of those high-level chakra balls!"

"Hahaha, die, just die!" The One-Tails cackled maniacally, continuously firing Void Bullets.

Seeing this, Gamabunta quickly used Water Style to block, but he was still constantly forced back.

As the One-Tails Shukaku's limbs were about to regenerate, Gamabunta became extremely anxious.

They had put in a lot of effort to create the current situation.

If the One-Tails were to recover completely again, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

At that time, it would not be so easy to recapture a guarded One-Tails.

"Jiraiya, hurry and think of something! I can't get close to it, I can't grab it!" Gamabunta shouted.

Jiraiya nodded, "Summoning Technique: Giant Toad Destruction!"

A massive toad, Gamaken, descended from the sky and slammed heavily onto the One-Tails Shukaku's head, burying it entirely in the earth.

Seeing this, Gamabunta rushed forward and slashed at Shukaku's tail, which fell to the ground with a thwack.

With the harassment from its tail gone, Gamabunta felt much more at ease and swung his sword again at the One-Tails' other leg.

Shukaku, pinned down by Gamaken, couldn't dodge and could only watch as its leg was severed.

The intense impact caused the Medium, Gaara, who had been hidden by Shukaku all along, to appear.

Jiraiya looked at the sleeping Gaara and shouted, "Gamabunta, Gamaken, hold Shukaku down!"

"Roger!"

"Me too."

Jiraiya sprinted and leaped into the air, landing on Shukaku's head, in front of the Medium Gaara, holding a cerulean chakra ball in his hand.

"Rasengan!"

The chakra ball slammed into Gaara's chest. Gaara, who had been in a deep sleep, spat out a mouthful of blood from the powerful attack and slowly began to wake up.

"No!!!"

"I finally got out once, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"I don't want to go back, I want to play outside!"

The One-Tails roared in unwillingness, but its voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Foolish human, I remember you. Just you wait, next time I come out, you'll be the first one I kill!"

After leaving its final words, the One-Tails' chakra gradually disappeared, returning to the seal within Gaara's body.

The Tailed Beast transformation on Gaara also vanished at this moment, and he returned to being a normal person.

Thump!

Gaara, almost completely drained and on the verge of fainting, collapsed heavily onto the ground, lacking the strength to even stand.

"I... I... How could I possibly fail?"

Although Gaara had no memory, he could tell what had happened by looking at Jiraiya and Gamabunta standing before him.

"Lord Jiraiya won!"

"Shukaku was defeated by Lord Jiraiya!"

"As expected of Lord Jiraiya, to win so quickly!"

The ninjas guarding Konoha, feeling Shukaku's chakra disappear, shouted excitedly, their morale reaching its peak in an instant.

Conversely, the ninjas attacking Konoha, seeing Gaara defeated, their morale plummeted instantly. They lost all will to fight and were routed by the Konoha ninjas, fleeing in disarray.

In less than ten minutes, the Konoha ninjas had quelled the riot.

The ninjas who attacked Konoha either died or fled.

Thanks to Jiraiya's timely appearance, Konoha did not suffer significant losses this time.

Naruto, who had woken up at some point, had witnessed the entire battle between Jiraiya and the One-Tails.

Naruto was deeply shocked. He never imagined that the perverted old man he had met before possessed such immense power.

"His strength seems much greater than Kakashi-sensei's!"

Naruto swallowed and tried to process the events of the day.

Once he came to his senses, he began to look around for Ye Fan's figure.

Before he fainted, he vaguely remembered Ye Fan appearing.

"Ye Fan! Ye Fan!"

Naruto shouted as he jumped from the tall building.

Ye Fan was facing the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, which made Naruto extremely worried.

Although he knew Ye Fan's strength was great, he didn't think Ye Fan could defeat Orochimaru.

For a moment, Naruto was burning with anxiety and ran wildly towards the Forest of Death.

"Cough, cough... Naruto, I'm here."

As soon as Naruto ran out, he heard Ye Fan's voice in his ear. He turned his head and found Ye Fan sitting on the rooftop where he had just been.

"Ye Fan, you scared me to death! Are you hurt? Where is Orochimaru?"

"Orochimaru? I defeated him. He should be in the Hokage's office right now."

"Hmph, you're just bragging. How could you possibly defeat Orochimaru!"

"Did Grandpa Third Hokage save us?"

Naruto ran up to Ye Fan, poking him here and there. After confirming Ye Fan was not injured, he finally smiled.

"Ye Fan, Ye Fan, did you see the fight between the pervy sage and that monster? It was so powerful!"

Naruto's clear eyes were filled with admiration as he said:

"I will definitely become a ninja as strong as him, and I will definitely protect the village like him!"

Ye Fan smiled upon hearing this, "Are you referring to Jiraiya? He is indeed a very powerful and excellent ninja."

"Jiraiya?" Naruto felt the name sounded familiar.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! He's Jiraiya, who is as famous as Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin?!"

"Yes, that's right." Ye Fan nodded and smiled, "Do you want to learn?"

"Haha, if I can learn ninjutsu from the pervy sage, I'll definitely be able to defeat Sasuke!"

"Naruto, if you want to learn, I'll have him teach you." Ye Fan smiled gently, his smile as comforting as a spring breeze.

"Really? Can you really have him teach me ninjutsu?" Naruto's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Of course. I lived with him for ten years, he'll give me that much face."

"Ah?" Naruto was very shocked. "No wonder your strength is so great. So you trained with the pervy sage!"

"Let's go, let's go..." Ye Fan took Naruto to find Jiraiya.

As he left, Ye Fan glanced with interest at Sasuke on the other side.

Because of his intervention, Sasuke was not implanted with the Cursed Seal by Orochimaru.

He was very curious and a little expectant about how Sasuke's future path would unfold.

After handing Naruto over to Jiraiya, Ye Fan prepared to have a good talk with the Third Hokage and Danzo.

The doubts buried in his heart for a long time should be revealed today!
