Confrontation between master and disciple
Hearing this, Tayujirō had no explanation.
He took a deep look at Sen, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. It was the unique pain and sigh of an elder when he saw his younger generation go astray.
"Do you think that with this ability, you can compete with the village elders? Sen, you underestimate the village too much, and you underestimate Will of Fire too."
His voice was low, with a sense of preaching, but also hoarse and rough, completely different from the previous "Tayujirō" who had no sense of existence.
"The entire Land of Fire is now involved in the war. Third Shinobi World War has broken out. Foreign enemies are present, but you are pointing your sword at the inside of the village."
"Is my identity important now? I just want you to find your way back and stop making the same mistakes again and again!"
Not far away, Minato listened to these words, his brows furrowed, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.
Not only the tone of voice, but also the opponent's attack moves just now made him feel inexplicably familiar.
The kind of Taijutsu that is open and close but has hidden secrets, the exquisite control of chakra, and the vaguely strange Natural Energy----
This is the same as my mentor
Teacher Jiraiya, there are striking similarities!
However, Teacher Jiraiya should be instructing the new disciples at Amegakure right now.
Moreover, this rough face with Chinese characters is completely inconsistent with the teacher in my memory.
Sen ignored the other party's sincere words. The playful look in his eyes quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a murderous intent as cold as winter.
"In this case, it seems that if I don't use my real ability, I will be underestimated by you."
Before he finished speaking, Sen slowly raised his head.
In his eyes, Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly accelerated its rotation, and three black Tomoe instantly connected into a strange five-pointed pattern.
Scarlet light bloomed in the night, eerie and cold.
Buzz!
An invisible pressure Kamui instantly enveloped the entire stronghold. The ninjas present felt their chests were tight and their breathing became difficult.
The moment Mangekyō Sharingan appeared, Sen directly activated Illusion Technique.
This is the simplest and most efficient method.
Facing a strong Taijutsu, directly defeat the opponent mentally and then interrogate the intelligence. This is Sen's tried and tested attack method.
The terrifying Dojutsu Power turned into an invisible spiritual tsunami and instantly rushed into Tayujirō's mind.
The Konoha Ninjas who were watching were shocked.
They are very aware of the gold content of Sen Illusion Technique. It is a terrifying power that can turn even a strong Kage Level into a puppet if they are not careful.
Everyone was staring at Tayujirō, expecting that in the next second he would be like the unlucky guy before, with his eyes distracted and at his mercy.
However, an accident happened.
That "Tayujirō" did appear absent-minded for a moment, his eyes became confused, as if his soul had been pulled away.
But only for a moment!
The next second, his eyes suddenly became clear again, and his pupils shrank violently.
An astonishing spiritual will exploded in his body along with the invisible Senjutsu Chakra.
He bit the tip of his tongue suddenly, and the severe pain instantly drove away the Illusion Technique that invaded his mind, and he actually managed to break free from Sen's Sharingan Genjutsu!
Seeing this scene, whether it was Minato, Uchiha Hikaru, or Might Duy, the vigilance in their hearts was instantly heightened.
That was the Illusion Technique that had shaken both Third Raikage and Kazekage!
The "Tayujirō" in front of me actually untied itself just by shaking it?
"This chakra----"
Sen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the orange mark faintly appearing in the corner of the other party's eyes, which was the precursor of Sage Mode.
"Senjutsu?" A hint of understanding flashed in Sen's eyes, and then turned into a deeper coldness.
Although the other party's disguise was perfect, the familiar chakra fluctuations and the lingering preaching smell had put the answer directly on the table.
"Long time no see, teacher Jiraiya."
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder falling to the ground, and the whole place was in an uproar!
Minato's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of disbelief.
Teacher Jiraiya? The person in front of me is actually Teacher Jiraiya?!
Why did he come to attack his village's stronghold?
Uchiha Hikaru and Might Duy were also stunned. Jiraiya, one of Sannin, was actually lurking here in disguise, confronting Sen in this way?
Seeing that his identity had been revealed, Jiraiya simply stopped pretending.
With the flow of chakra on his face, the unfamiliar Chinese character face faded away like a melted wax statue, revealing the iconic wild white hair and the bright red lines on his cheeks.
"Sure enough, I can't defeat you without using Senjutsu. Sen----"
Jiraiya looked at the disciple in front of him with an extremely complicated expression.
Not only was he gratified to see his disciple become stronger, but he was also saddened by what Sen had done.
"The way you look now, I don't know whether to be happy or sad."
"Why do you want to start a war with the higher-ups? The village obviously trained you, why do you do this to the village?"
"Did you train me?" Sen seemed to have heard some joke, and the corner of his mouth raised a mocking arc, "Yes, did you train me to be the material for human experiments?"
"Do you know how much that old guy Danzo longs for my eyes? If I didn't have the ability to protect myself, these eyes would
It's long gone from my eyes."
Hearing this, Jiraiya's face froze, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Konoha The scandal of using villagers for human experiments is no longer a secret.
But as a disciple of Third Sarutobi Hiruzen, and as Konoha Sannin, he must stand on the side of the village, whether in public or private matters, and try to bring Sen "back to the right path."
"What's the point of saying so much? It's not because you are too strong that these people have to surrender to you."
Jiraiya took a deep breath, moved his hands extremely fast Hand Seals, and shouted, "In that case, use ninjutsu to see the truth!"
"Xianfa·Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon!"
In an instant, the white hair on his head hardened like steel needles and shot towards Sen like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.
Every hair strand is infused with Senjutsu Chakra, which is sharp enough to penetrate steel.
Sen's eyes reflected the rain of needles in the sky, but he did not dodge or avoid it.
At the last moment, his figure was twisted strangely, and he actually shuttled through the gaps in the dense rain of needles like a ghost, at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, with a wave of his right hand, several Kusanagi Sword attached with Lightning Release chakra tore the air and stabbed Jiraiya.
Jiraiya reacts extremely quickly and quickly controls the wild hair to surge, wrapping the body airtight.
"Needle Jizo" with the blessing of Senjutsu blocked Lightning Release's attack, but he still felt a stab of pain in his body.
The penetrating power of Sen and Lightning Release is too strong!
"Bang!"
Before Jiraiya could take a breath, Sen was already approaching.
Carrying the strong wind, his left leg swept across like a battle axe, kicking heavily on Jiraiya's defensive posture.
There was a muffled sound, and Jiraiya felt a huge force coming towards him, and his whole body was shaken back half a step.
"Damn it, it's even better than in the intelligence!"
Jiraiya knows that facing an opponent of this level, if you continue to hold on, you are courting death.
"Xianfa·Frog Kata!"
The momentum changes suddenly!
Jiraiya The red lines on his cheeks became deeper, and his eyes turned into golden horizontal pupils.
The huge Natural Energy is perfectly controlled by him, making every move he makes full of destructive power.
This is Senjutsu Taijutsu that uses Natural Energy to sense dangers around it and uses Natural Energy to increase the attack range of Taijutsu.
Even if the fist does not touch the entity, the surging Natural Energy shock wave is enough to cause serious damage.
Sen felt that unique sense of oppression, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
This is the strength Sannin should have!
"Susanoo!"
With a low cry, dark green chakra erupted instantly, transforming into a half-tall skeleton giant that enveloped Sen.
The giant skeleton hand suddenly waved with violent power, directly dispersing the incoming Senjutsu shock wave, and then punched Jiraiya with a backhand!
Jiraiya's pupils shrank suddenly, and Sage Mode's super perception made his scalp numb.
You can't take this punch!
He dodged continuously, narrowly avoiding the giant fist.
Boom!
The giant fist hit the ground, the earth trembled, and a huge pit several meters deep was instantly formed, with gravel flying.
The two once again distanced themselves and faced each other from a distance in the center of the stronghold.
The air was filled with suffocating chakra fluctuations, and the surrounding ninjas even found it difficult to breathe.
They know very well that this is already the pinnacle showdown between the Kage Level strong men.
"The strength is good, but it's a pity that it is not used on the right path!"
Jiraiya's five fingers became claws, and chakra gathered crazily in the palm of his hand.
The surrounding gravel and fallen leaves seemed to be summoned and gathered in his palm, and even the flames of the torches in the hands of distant ninjas swayed violently.
"This is Rasengan! No—this is Rasengan joined by Senjutsu!"
Minato saw the secret at a glance and was horrified. The power of this Rasengan was completely different from what he had in his hands.
Although they were hundreds of meters apart, they could still feel the terrifying pulling force, as if all the energy between heaven and earth was compressed into that ball of light.
"Teacher Jiraiya, you are still stubborn!"
Looking at Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan in Jiraiya's hand, Sen's voice was still calm and cruel.
He did not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, but asked the first question, which was like a sharp knife piercing Jiraiya's heart: "If what you said is for the village" and "for the sake of justice" are right, then why are they willing to follow me to this battlefield full of death?"
"Do you really think that all the people in this village are idiots? You should know better than me what it means to a ninja to fail in rebellion!"
Sen waved his arm and pointed at Minato, Uchiha Hikaru, Might Duy not far away, as well as those Konoha Ninja who, although they looked different, were always standing behind him.
In those eyes, there was trust in Sen, disappointment in the senior management, and even confusion about the future, but there was no fear or forced helplessness.
Jiraiya's breathing suddenly stopped.
His eyes swept over the familiar faces.
Minato----That is his most proud disciple!
He saw the determination in Minato's eyes.
That determination was deeper and more unshakable than he imagined.
Jiraiya's heart suddenly sank, and the Senjutsu Chakra condensed in his hand actually froze for a moment.
"They----they were just temporarily confused by you! In the current war, it was you who gave them false hope!"
Jiraiya tried to refute, but there was already a tremor in his voice that even he himself had not noticed.
As Sen said, for ninjas, loyalty is the bottom line, and the price of rebellion is to be killed, and even your family will be implicated!
But now, almost everyone in the village is on the opposite side of him.
Could it be ---- am I really wrong?
Sen snorted coldly, not giving Jiraiya a chance to breathe and think.
He connected the second sharp knife and pointed directly at the darkness that Jiraiya had been deliberately avoiding. "Confused? Teacher Jiraiya, don't deceive yourself. You and I are well aware of the darkness hidden within the village."
"It's impossible for you not to know that high-level officials use civilians, even ninjas from big families, for human experiments. Orochimaru is the best example!"
"Then have you ever thought about why your family members are never among the victims? Your family is just a small family!"
"That's because you are Third's apprentice!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Jiraiya's mind!
The speed of Big Ball Rasengan condensation in his hand slowed down visibly, and the originally firm fighting spirit in his heart began to collapse.
In any case, he and Sen have a master-disciple relationship after all.
If it wasn't for the purpose of persuading his disciples, he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to disguise himself and infiltrate.
Now having him fight to the death with Sen is not only an insult to him as a teacher, but also a trample on the beliefs he upholds.
Maybe----this child just went astray temporarily and there is still room for recovery?
But----Wrong way?
Jiraiya looked at the hostile eyes around him.
As the beloved Sannin, when had he ever been treated like this by a fellow village ninja?
Their eyes told him:
You are the enemy now.
In other words, could it be that I was the one who went astray?
Seeing Jiraiya's offensive stalled and his expression struggling, Might Duy, who had always been honest and dull, suddenly spoke with sincerity, "Lord Jiraiya, what Sen said are all facts. Everyone knows what Konoha High Command did."
Moreover----Sen did not kill the Third Generation, but instead led us to fight for the village as soon as the war broke out."
"This is not just the decision of Sen alone, but the decision of all of us here.
If it is not from the heart, who will risk their wealth and life to support rebellion?"
These words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Might Duy's character Jiraiya is very clear. This ten thousand year old Genin has a more sincere heart than anyone else and will never lie.
Even Dai is saying this now----
"In short----"
Jiraiya sighed, the fatal Big Ball Rasengan in his hand slowly dissipated, and the fighting spirit in his eyes also receded.
"In short, you should think of other ways. Avoid a head-on fight with Third, and definitely not threaten his life - after all, he has paid too much for the village."
[Draw with Jiraiya, please select the entries you need to absorb: Physique +10, Chakra +20, Memory: Big Ball Rasengan Cultivation Theory]
Sen nodded slightly, acquiescing.
After all, the third generation is Jiraiya's mentor. Now that Jiraiya has surrendered, in front of so many people, he must be treated a little less favorably.
But there was a sneer in his heart.
Not killing Sarutobi Hiruzen? Of course.
But the old man absolutely couldn't accept losing Hokage's power, and instead gave it to himself.
You don't even need to do it yourself, just the settlement of those blood debts is enough to make Sarutobi Clan irreversible.
Now the sword of public opinion is in one's own hands, and when the time comes, all he needs to do is add fuel to the flames——
Maybe the old man will kill himself amidst the criticism and rebuke of thousands of people like Hatake Sakumo in the original novel.
Seeing that Jiraiya had completely given up on fighting, Sen put away Susanoo, changed the subject, and asked seemingly casually, "By the way, Teacher Jiraiya. I heard that you have accepted several disciples with good qualifications in Amegakure, and one of them has red hair, named Nagato, right?"
