Picking up the pen, Sarutobi Hiruzen signed Root's reorganization appointment letter, and then added a few words to another order--
Uchiha Jun will take over as the leader of Root from now on.
Departing on the same day to assist Iwa-nin Frontline!
Land of Grass, Konoha Iwa-nin Frontline Command.
Jiraiya was lying on his side on the camp bed, his upper body covered with bandages, and some areas even faintly oozed the turbid fluid that appears after severe burns.
The two Mount Myōboku immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, squatted on the bedside, staring at him with four Toad eyes, with undisguised worry in their eyes.
If they have seen Ōnoki's 'Old Man Boiling' tactics these days.
"Little Jiraiya, if you continue like this, you will die." Sage Fukasaku spoke in a heavy tone.
"I know, but what can I do?"
Jiraiya grinned, pulling at the wound at the corner of his mouth, grinning in pain, but didn't care.
"Ōnoki is bringing three Kage Level ninjas this time. If I don't step up, I'm afraid the others won't be able to hold on for long."
Sage Shima sighed, "Why don't you retreat for a while and take a rest?"
"No." Jiraiya shook his head, "Once we withdraw, Konoha's defense line will be empty. When the time comes, Ōnoki will drive straight in and break into Land of Fire, and the damage will be even greater!"
"Don't worry, boss, eldest sister, I've told the old man about the situation here, and he will definitely send reinforcements over!"
Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
At this moment, a muffled voice came from outside the tent.
It is Konoha Anbu who is in charge of the communication.
"Lord Jiraiya! Lord Hokage's urgent order!"
Jiraiya turned over and sat up, took the letter and opened it.
After reading the content, Jiraiya was stunned, obviously.
"What's wrong?" Fukasaku asked.
Jiraiya The corners of his mouth twitched and he forced out a smile, "Reinforcements... are coming."
"Reinforcements? What kind of strength? Without Kage Level, it won't be of much use." Shima asked.
Jiraiya put the letter down with a complicated look on his face. "It's Uchiha Jun, the Uchiha Clan ninja who single-handedly defeated two Jinchuriki on Cloud-nin Frontline and fought Fourth Raikage head-on. He's coming here to support us."
He originally thought it would be his disciple Minato, but he didn't expect it to be Uchiha Jun, who has become famous recently. Well, let him weigh in on the famous Uchiha Clan!
Meanwhile, Cloud-nin Frontline.
Uchiha Jun is packing.
Chino stood aside, holding two sabers that Uchiha Jun exchanged from Orochimaru. The blades reflected a cold light under the light.
Apparently under the instruction of Uchiha Jun, Chino learned some techniques related to the maintenance of ninja tools from En Oyashiro and Seimei.
"Jun-sama, your sword."
Uchiha Jun took it and pulled out half of it. He felt the curvature of the blade and the chakra conductivity. He nodded with satisfaction and reached out to pat Chino on the head. "Not bad, your skills have improved. You can stay with the light while I'm away."
"If someone instructs you to perform any tasks, go to Fugaku. I have already said hello to him. He will handle it. During the time when I come back, just stay in the camp and train. The camp is safe."
"Itachi Uchiha has also introduced it to you. Just train according to the plan and practice sparring."
Chino smiled shyly.
"Yeah!"
Uchiha Hikari walked in from outside the tent with a cold expression. "Chun, everything is ready, together?"
"No." Uchiha Jun simply refused, "You and Yugito will stay here, and Cloud-nin Frontline will be stable. It's not a big deal over there, Iwa-nin will be back soon."
Uchiha Hikari hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
"By the way," Uchiha Jun walked to the door of the tent and looked back at Uchiha Hikari, "Help me keep an eye on the battle reports from Mist Ninja, especially the incidents where the corpses turned into mummies - any new information will be sent to me as soon as possible."
"Understood."
Uchiha Jun nodded and stepped out of the tent.
In the distance, the sky was gloomy and the dark clouds were low.
A few days later, Iwa-nin Frontline was on the front line.
The moment Uchiha Jun stepped into Konoha's camp, almost everyone's eyes were focused on it.
There is scrutiny, curiosity, doubt, and expectation.
--After all, he looks too young.
How strong can a teenage boy be?
Although the results of Cloud-nin Frontline have spread to all fronts through battle reports, when they see him in person, the same question will appear in most people's minds.
Is this really the Uchiha Clan who suppressed two Jinchuriki alone?
Really too young!
Uchiha Jun ignored these looks, remained unmoved, and walked straight towards the headquarters.
The moment he opened the curtain and entered, he saw Jiraiya.
This man, who has always presented himself as a "hero", is leaning on a folding chair at the moment, with exhaustion written all over his face.
There are two Toad squatting on both sides of the shoulders - one green and one brown.
--Apparently Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima.
"Hey, reinforcements are coming! Welcome!!"
When Jiraiya saw Uchiha Jun, he suddenly became energetic and jumped up from the chair, "Come on, come on, sit down, sit down!"
Uchiha Jun sat down opposite Jiraiya, but his eyes fell on the two Toad involuntarily.
Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku is the key to Jiraiya being able to withstand the siege of four shadows.
Unlike Ryūchi Cave, Senjutsu will put a greater load on the user's body, and Senjutsu, which limits the performance of Mount Myōboku, seems to have only one problem of battery life.
If he can sign a contract with Mount Myōboku and contact Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, it will definitely be a big help to his research on Senjutsu.
Because what Uchiha Jun has always wanted is not just a single Sage Mode from the Senjutsu Holy Land!
Instead, we learn from each other's strengths and combine the strengths of hundreds of experts to develop Sage Mode, which is close to 'perfect'!
In terms of effects, Uchiha Jun plans to be closer to the 'Triple Rebirth' in Under One Person, at least to the point where a broken heart can be regenerated and a brain exploded without dying!
"Senior Jiraiya," Uchiha Jun also got straight to the point, "I want to sign Summoning Contract with Mount Myōboku."
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "You have good taste! Mount Myōboku is different from Ryūchi Cave!"
"But whether I can sign a contract with Mount Myōboku or not is not my decision."
Sage Fukasaku on the side heard this and also said, "Young man, are you sure you want to sign?"
"OK."
Uchiha Jun's answer was concise and clear, and he was ready to agree to some conditions.
Seeing Uchiha Jun's firm attitude, Fukasaku and Jiraiya looked at each other.
After all, they had known each other for many years, and the two of them quickly completed the exchange of information with just eye contact.
