"Yu Yi is still preparing weapons for his younger son A Luo to go into battle, because he hasn't waited for Yin Luo to send the materials back, and is still complaining: Why is the elder brother so ignorant? He just used a fan for his younger brother. When will he stop being so willful..."
"At this time, the housekeeper Old Wang came back in a hurry and told Yu Yi: Master, Master Yin Luo was killed by those bandits, and his body parts were scattered all over the street..."
"How is that possible? He... did he join forces with others to deceive me again? Doesn't he have Yin Luo Divine Fan to protect him?"
"Master, have you forgotten? That fan... was lent to the second young master..."
"Master, I have been in this family for decades, and I have to say something fair..."
"Master Yin Luo is at home. He doesn't even have his own room. He comes back from the rented house fifty miles away to greet you every day..."
Listening to Akaseki's little story, Yahiko and Nagato looked uncomfortable.
Konan While feeling uncomfortable...
It made me sweat even listening to it!
Even the fever was gone by this time...
"Okay, think carefully about today's little story, write a thousand-word reflection, and give it to me tomorrow...Teacher Jiraiya has taught you how to write, right?" Akaseki said seriously. "Akaseki... Brother, Konan's illness hasn't healed yet, is it..." Yahiko said immediately.
"Well, that's right, then Konan... dictate, you write it!" Akaseki has made arrangements.
Immediately, Akaseki came to the next room and met Jiraiya, who was looking at the mission scroll carefully.
"I see, Lingering Rain Mountain has now become Giant Salamander's paradise... Hanzō has really staked everything." Jiraiya said with emotion.
"Oh...Orochimaru, it's true. How could I, an ordinary Jonin, become the captain of the special operations team? I was like..." Akaseki looked proud and humble at this time.
"Okay, okay... it's not bad for you to be the captain. Orochimaru has something to say here. You can channel at least ten large snake beasts that are only one level weaker than Manda. When dealing with those Giant Salamander, they are the main force." Jiraiya looked at Akaseki speechlessly.
"That's right! Ryūchi Cave has already followed our Uchiha Clan!" Akaseki said seriously.
Jiraiya:...
Through Mount Myoboku and Jiraiya, I also have some understanding of the other two holy places.
If Ryūchi Cave follows Uchiha Clan, Jiraiya would believe it, but if Ryūchi Cave follows Uchiha Clan, it is unlikely...
It's not that Jiraiya drank too much, but now Orochimaru and Akaseki have both gained power from Ryūchi Cave, which makes Jiraiya have to doubt that this Is it related to "Uchiha Clan"? However, Jiraiya, who knows the situation of Three Great Sage Regions, does not believe that Ryūchi Cave will really "follow" Uchiha Clan.
But... I think at least I have a cooperation with the Uchiha Clan!
Sage Mode and so on, Jiraiya doesn't think those gods like Uchiha Clan can learn it.
But even if you just contract some snake beasts, it will be a huge enhancement for the Uchiha Clan!
Especially those giant snake beasts...
How much does Summoning Beast improve the strength of ninjas?
Just look at Amegakure to find out!
Most of the so-called Jonin of Amegakure are placed in Konoha, which is only at the level of Chunin. The reason why it is so popular is not because of those "Giant Salamander"!
And Amegakure was able to get so many Giant Salamander precisely because of Hanzō's personal efforts...
Otherwise, although "Lingering Rain Mountain" and "Black Pool" are next to each other, the previous Black Pool is a threat to Amegakure.
As for Ryūchi Cave...
Unlike the Toads of Mount Myoboku, most of the snake beasts of Ryūchi Cave do not know ninjutsu and only rely on their own characteristics such as physical strength and venom to fight.
This and Uchiha Clan, which is generally a stronger ninjutsu, Genjutsu, can just complement each other. Not to mention, Uchiha Clan, which has just opened its eyes in the future, if everyone can contract a three- to five-meter-long, The giant pythons that specialize in the physical body will be able to take a further step in strength by then - from "Chunin when the eyes are opened" to directly strengthening to "not weaker than Elite Chunin when the eyes are opened", and "it is not unreasonable to be rated as Special Jōnin".
Just like ninjas usually avoid acting alone...
Having one more helper, especially if it is a complementary helper, will greatly improve the ninja.
Regarding this...
Although Jiraiya usually doesn't care about this, you can imagine at this time that if what Akaseki said is true... some people in Hokage Building may feel uncomfortable!
"However, in Lingering Rain Mountain, in addition to Giant Salamander, there will definitely be sporadic Rain Ninja, and we must also be careful that Great Salamander King uses Reverse Summoning Technique to pull Hanzō back." Jiraiya is not very relieved about this.
Other Giant Salamander cannot use ninjutsu and only rely on their physical bodies and poisonous smoke to fight, but "Great Salamander King" can use "Reverse Summoning Technique".
"Well, if Hanzō comes back, we will just retreat first." Akaseki didn't care.
Whether "Summoning Technique" or "Reverse Summoning Technique", both will continue to consume the user's chakra.
It is equivalent to only making a temporary change to the spatial position of the "channelled target". During this "temporary change", the initiator's chakra will continue to be consumed. If the chakra is exhausted or the output stops, the spatial coordinates of the channeled target will be instantly changed back.
This is why Summoning Beast will disappear immediately with a "bang" when the ninja chakra is exhausted or the channeling is terminated. Even if Summoning Beast tries its best to resist, it can only hold on for a few more breaths at most.
To break this point, you need to use various Sealing Technique to solidify the coordinates, just like what Orochimaru did to those Giant Salamander when it was Land of Iron In addition, for Three Great Sage Regions, if you use "Reverse Summoning Technique" in the Holy Land, with the help of the special space state of the Holy Land, you can truly change the coordinates of the channeled target and achieve real space movement.
However, neither Great Salamander King nor Hanzō has this ability!
Therefore, to maintain Hanzō on site, it is bound to require the continuous consumption of "Great Salamander King"...
On the contrary, Akaseki does not require chakra consumption.
In other words, the consumption at that time will be offset by the power on White Snake Sage's scales.
Therefore, Akaseki is not afraid of a war of attrition. If Hanzō comes, he will retreat with the snake group and then come back later.
Akaseki didn't think that Hanzō's action would prevent him and Teacher Jiraiya from even having a chance to escape.
As for those snake beasts...
They are extremely resistant to Giant Salamander toxins. Only Hanzō and Great Salamander King toxins can harm them, and it is impossible to kill them in large numbers in a short time. There is no chance to remove Summoning Technique.
On the contrary, the Ryūchi Cave snake beasts with fangs and strong bodies can cause huge damage to those limp Giant Salamanders in a short time!
There is no need to actually knock Amegakure down. As long as Rain Ninja realizes this, they can only withdraw.
Otherwise, if Giant Salamander loses too much, even if Konoha does not defeat Land of Rain, Amegakure itself will be completely destroyed! After formulating the strategy, Akaseki and Jiraiya set off early the next morning...
As for the Three Youngsters, Jiraiya asked them to take care of themselves - Konoha has given him a long enough vacation, and this is the result Orochimaru strives for. Now Orochimaru asks him to do something very important to Konoha, and Jiraiya has no reason to refuse.
"You take good care of your house, Yahiko, Nagato. You take good care of Konan and boil the medicine on time. I will be back in about... half a month. Before I come back, you should eat the food you stored before, plus the fish hanging from the fishing spot over the stream. It should be enough. Don't go to the market easily." Jiraiya warned.
Although the Three Youngsters was reluctant to leave, he also knew that Jiraiya had something to do, so he bid farewell to Teacher Jiraiya one after another.
After leaving, Akaseki asked curiously, "Has Land of Rain's sociality degraded so much? Why does it seem like he is surviving in the wild..."
Jiraiya heard this and said in a low voice, "Social is a good word... In the years since the war broke out, Land of Rain almost all large towns have been destroyed by the war. The so-called "bazaar" is just a place where some survivors trade supplies. It is very chaotic..."
"Hey." Akaseki also sighed, and then cursed on behalf of Land of Rain: "This Hanzō is really harmful!"
Jiraiya:...
August 9, Lingering Rain Mountain.
The continuous rain made Lingering Rain Mountain look particularly damp.
Yamanaka Amegakure, which was originally a heavy-duty machine style, is now empty. Only some Ibuses can be seen occasionally crawling around. The largest ones are now blocked on a must-pass road in front of Amegakure... From the usual steampunk, it has directly become a doomsday wasteland, full of a desolate and dilapidated feeling.
Just then...
Next to Amegakure, in a piece of Swamp, two big bags bulged out...
Pa-ta--pa-ta--
In one of the "big bags", a figure of Toad was revealed. This Toad, which was no bigger than a human, spat out a white "hair ball" that was larger than itself. The "hair ball" unfolded immediately, and it turned out to be Jiraiya wrapped in his own White-haired.
Another "big bag" melted away, revealing Akaseki inside!
Unlike Jiraiya, Akaseki "sneaked" directly into the mud, and at this time, there was no muddy water on his body at all...
Jiraiya also looked at it curiously - he didn't see how Akaseki did it.
"It seems that those Giant Salamander haven't discovered it yet. Next... should we focus on intelligence or killing?" Jiraiya asked Captain Akaseki very sensibly.
"No matter how we inquire, there are only the two of us with no other backup, so don't alert the snake... just start killing! After sneaking into Amegakure, I will directly channel all the snake beasts that can channel, and then let them devour the small Ibuse. Wait for the Giant Salamander group to come back, and then start the battle!"
Akaseki decided to focus entirely on attacking the opponent's effective forces...
Ryūchi Cave has small snakes, Mount Myoboku has small Toad, these Giant Salamander are not all that big, and there are many larvae with little fighting power, and these... are the primary targets of Akaseki's first round of attacks!
