"Fortieth!"
With a passionate roar, the Sand Shinobi in front of him was kicked away. His body spun in the air and then fell to the ground like a rag.
"I heard before that Might Guy and Taijutsu are so powerful, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful!"
Shikaku Nara, who was following Kai and responsible for helping him control surrounding sneak attacks, was amazed.
Kai is different from Kakashi. Although they were the same age when they were Third Shinobi World War, Kai's strength was not enough for him to enter the eyes of Konoha's upper class during the war.
At that time, Kai was really just a somewhat average Genin.
Although later on, Kai's strength gained certain recognition in the village and he was promoted by Hokage.
But after all, he was promoted in a peaceful era, and his true strength has not been tested on the battlefield. Naturally, to the older generation, he is just regarded as an ordinary Jonin.
I didn't expect the performance to be so outstanding.
"... It seems Sunagakure there are still too few people here, not enough for him to warm up."
Shikaku Nara, who was in charge of leading the team, smiled. Previously, Lord Jiraiya recommended Kai as the core defense line of their team, but he was still a little uneasy.
Facts have proved that Lord Jiraiya's vision is truly unique.
But unexpectedly, he just said to him, "Kakashi is responsible for the Kirigakure team of at least a hundred people." Kai couldn't stop the momentum.
"This, Konoha What are these Monster!"
"Block him! Is there no one who can block him?"
"Why do they know we're here!"
The Sand Shinobis who were originally lurking in the Orochimaru base very close to Konoha had broken through the defenses and were blocked at the door. This strange beast with Blue Aura all over his body came in so arrogantly alone!
The most important thing is that no one in their team of nearly a hundred people can beat him!
It's really unreasonable!
"Don't you understand yet?" Shikaku Nara, who was standing at the entrance of the base, looked at Sand Shinobi, who was still resisting, and deliberately said as if his plan had succeeded, "Lord Orochimaru is How could one of the Konoha Sannin really cooperate with you to destroy Konoha? He has long noticed that you Sunagakure have bad intentions, so he pretended to be Sound Ninja and led you here."
"... Despicable Orochimaru!"
Sand Shinobi gritted his teeth.
Inoichi Yamanaka in the team is silent and silent. He is an honest person, unlike Shikaku who is so sinister and cunning, and lies as soon as he comes.
This is actually just a coincidence.
Because this is the Orochimaru base that Kakashi and the others went to investigate before. After being discovered by Konoha, they have always arranged spies here.
Sand Shinobis would actually use this place as their base, which is considered a collision of guns.
With a Might Guy "ah da da da" sound, another period of time passed.
"This is the captain of this team."
As the base was breached, Choza Akimichi took out Sand Shinobi Leader who would rather die than surrender.
Poor Konoha, Sunagakure's side was still eagerly hoping for reinforcements to arrive "as early as the afternoon", but at this time, the group was completely destroyed.
"Inoichi."
"I know."
With the tacit understanding of his old teammates, Inoichi Yamanaka immediately used Family Secret Technique to detect the unconscious Sand Shinobi Leader.
"Although it went smoothly, I don't know why, but I still feel uneasy inside..."
At this time, Inoichi Yamanaka has initially completed the search.
"How's it going?"
"It's exactly what Lord Jiraiya said."
Inoichi looked at Shikaku and said solemnly, "He is Anbu Captain of Sunagakure, and the level of intelligence he knows is very high. So we can confirm them The main force in this plan is Sunagakure and Jinchūriki from Kirigakure... but there is still a seal in his memory, and there should be some secret information."
"How long will it take?"
"Give me ten minutes."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I need to confirm that the information is correct."
Shikaku nodded, and then he fell into deep thought.
[Originally Lord Jiraiya proposed to take advantage of the situation. After the facts of Kirigakure and Sunagakure's aggression were confirmed, enough Diplomacy could be arranged to put pressure. Now it seems...]
Shikaku remembered the two plans proposed by Jiraiya in Hokage Office.
"First, I attended Chunin Ninja Exams instead of Teacher Sarutobi. Chunin Ninja Exams one month later was just a cover. It was essentially to crack the war attack launched by at least two major Shinobi Village forces against Konoha.
Hokage is the spiritual leader of Konoha. If Third Hokage is accidentally killed on the spot, it will be in trouble. Let me go, at least he is more adaptable than the old man who is already old!"
Of course, Shikaku's voice-over voice Jiraiya can also be heard--
If the situation is really so severe that it is unimaginable, then his death in battle will have less impact than Hokage's death in battle.
"Second, First Hokage has decided to distribute Tailed Beast to each village. I think we can take this opportunity to recycle it..."
Jiraiya Shikaku The serious tone at that time is still fresh in my memory--
"This Shinobi World no longer needs to check and balance each other. Facing the real enemy, we need to be unified."
[It is completely inconsistent with Lord Jiraiya's consistent style, but he should have discussed it with Lord Hokage in advance. When he proposed a specific implementation plan to himself, Lord Hokage almost did not refute it.]
As Konoha Strategist, Jiraiya's plan was finally decided upon after discussion with Shikaku.
Shikaku listened to Jiraiya's plan and wanted to ask several times who made the plan. Because of these many unreasonable points, Jiraiya had no way to justify it.
For example, Akatsuki, such as Tailed Beast, who will deal with it if it really breaks out?
But Jiraiya completely acted like it was his own intention, so just ignore it and skip it.
This also made Shikaku reluctantly give up the idea of pursuing this topic.
"But, is it the unified Shinobi World... If it is true, I don't know what it will be like."
Shikaku admitted that although the plans he heard were incomplete, he was moved by the future described by Jiraiya!
My heart, which had been silent for many years after leaving the battlefield, was once again ignited with passion.
This is not to say that this battle can unify Shinobi World. This is a battle that may take a very long time.
Shinobi World Whether it is the early Family system or today's Shinobi Village system, there have been countless large-scale battles between Ninja, but no one has ever unified them.
It is said that First Hokage, known as God of Shinobi, once had the possibility to unify Shinobi World, but for some unknown reason, he did not do it in the end.
As a descendant of Konoha, if such a situation can really come true...
At this moment, Inoichi Yamanaka suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Shikaku with a heavy expression.
"What's wrong?"
"It's the worst situation!" Yamanaka's voice sounded very frustrated. "Kumogakure and Iwagakure are also involved in this operation. They are not just waiting and watching on the surface... I didn't expect the peace to be so short-lived. Is Fourth Shinobi World War going to happen again?"
On the contrary, Shikaku's face did not show the same expression as Yamanaka. He waved his hand and then touched his chin. "I didn't expect that all of Lord Jiraiya's plans were successful... As expected, that plan did not come from Lord Jiraiya. He might even only know part of it... Whose handiwork was it? The style always feels a bit familiar."
Mount Myōboku.
"How's it going? Is Naruto awake?"
The two Toad Sage couples, Fukasaku and Shima, came to Naruto Training's place again. They looked at Naruto who was still meditating with his eyes closed. Sage Shima looked at Little Kushina in shock. "Aren't you awake yet?"
"Yeah... I don't know what's going on with Naruto." Little Kushina nodded very worriedly.
"No, I've never heard of such a thing, and Little Naruto has obviously mastered Sage Mode..." Sage Fukasaku also looked puzzled.
"But Minato, it's almost too late. We can already vaguely feel the influence of little Jiraiya... He should be gathering Senjutsu Chakra."
"The time is earlier than expected. It seems that some accidents happened, which made Teacher Jiraiya advance."
Minato nodded. "You two, I have to make preparations right away."
