"Sarutobi, you old dog, it's time you paid with your life for the Uchiha!"
Having stabilized his surging ocular power, Sasuke Uchiha flashed with lightning. He unleashed the Lightning Flash Movement Technique and swiftly charged toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Looking at his former disciple, Jiraiya was enraged.
That direction was where New Konoha stood. Nagato had fired that Tailed Beast Ball to destroy New Konoha.
And given the size of that Tailed Beast
