As soon as Gamabunta landed on the ground, without any hesitation, he took out the cold samurai sword from his waist with his backhand.
"Be honest with me!"
Accompanied by Gamabunta's rough roar, the huge long knife cut through the air, with the power of cracking mountains and cracking rocks, and fiercely pierced the top of the head in the middle of the Three-Headed Hound giant snake.
The blade nailed it firmly to the ground, and the smelly snake blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Hiss~"
Three-Headed Hound The head in the middle of the giant snake was severely injured, and the other two heads roared more violently, twisting their bodies crazily, trying to attack Gamabunta.
However, Gamaken and Gamahiro also fell from the sky. One used a fork to stab the snake's head, and the other used a pair of knives to nail the snake's head.
Gamabunta even had time to empty his pipe and blew out several huge smoke rings, looking very at ease.
What is even more eye-catching is the figure standing above Gamabunta.
It was a tall, white-haired man, but his attire at the moment was very different from his usual image.
He was wearing a slightly exaggerated black opera robe with the Golden moire pattern embroidered on it, which made him look both gorgeous and a bit mysterious.
He was also wearing a cloak of the same color, and he was lifting a corner of it gracefully with one hand.
In his other hand, he unfolded a folding fan painted with landscape patterns, covering the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of slightly aged but shining eyes, and the iconic white Long Hair that stood up like a hedgehog.
He assumed a stage-like appearance, raised his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the chaotic battlefield and look into the distance.
Then, a loud voice with a unique rhythm and accent, as if reciting on a stage, rang out from his mouth and spread clearly throughout the noisy battlefield:
"Looking up with bare back to the sky!"
He elongated his voice and spoke every word with perfect accent, full of dramatic tension.
Then, he suddenly put away the folding fan in his hand and threw back the cloak, revealing his upright face. His voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, full of heroic spirit:
"Hero Jiraiya joins in!"
This series of actions and lines were like cold water thrown into boiling oil, causing the cruel siege battlefield to feel strangely stagnant for a moment.
Whether it was the defenders of Konoha, the attacking Sound Ninja and Sand Ninja, or even the giant snake Three-Headed Hound struggling crazily under their feet and Gamabunta standing steadily, they were all shocked by this sudden appearance with a completely different style of painting.
It turned out that Jiraiya, who had not been able to find the exact trace of Orochimaru before, was depressed and thought about how to get closer to Naruto.
He happened to be passing through a small town and saw a troupe performing a play. He found it interesting.
I also remembered that children of Naruto's age seemed to be interested in "novel" things, so on a whim, I spent some time learning some simple "face-changing" techniques and some classic lines from the master of the theater troupe, and also bought an outfit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he put on his costume, practiced his lines, and strolled back to the Konoha area, he saw smoke and dust rising into the sky from a distance, and heard the loud shouting of death and the hissing of a giant snake.
Something big happened!
Jiraiya immediately put away his playful thoughts, looked serious, and immediately channeled Gamabunta, and rushed over as quickly as possible.
I just happened to see the Three-Headed Hound giant snake wreaking havoc, so there was this scene of falling from the sky.
Although the way he appeared was a little... unique, the appearance of Jiraiya undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the struggling Konoha defenders.
One of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya!
He's finally back!
On the roof, Impure World Reincarnation First and Impure World Reincarnation Second Hokage, who had just come out from Impure World Reincarnation, also looked at Jiraiya who suddenly appeared.
"Hmm~ Hero Jiraiya? He looks like a good Ninja, and he actually summoned three such big psychic beasts by himself."
Second Hokage's eyes lingered on Jiraiya's slightly awkward costume and white hair for a moment, and he frowned.
The name Jiraiya seems a bit familiar.
"You look a bit old, don't you? At this age, you should already be the backbone of the village or Elder? Can your reaction and explosive power remain at the peak?"
Third Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was confronting Orochimaru and two Impure World Reincarnation Hokage, heard the comments made by the two ancestors Hokage about his disciples, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Jiraiya is indeed no longer young, but as Jiraiya's master, he himself is also older.
He maintained his alert posture and responded in a deep voice:
"Sir First, Second, Jiraiya... he is indeed Ninja from the same class as Orochimaru and Tsunade. This year, he is fifty-one years old."
"Fifty-one?"
First Hashirama heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, with an extremely obvious look of astonishment on his face.
He didn't realize that so much time had passed.
His mind seemed to still be stuck in the era when he was active, stuck in the distant memory of his granddaughter Tsunade, who was still a little kid chasing him to hug him.
"Eh? In other words... little Tsunade... is she... in her fifties now?"
First's voice was full of disbelief and a sense of time flying by.
The cute and lively childhood appearance of his granddaughter Tsunade instantly appeared in his mind, and then he tried to imagine her in her fifties, with gray hair and many wrinkles on her face...
An indescribable complex of emotions suddenly welled up in my heart, including regret for my granddaughter's absence in her growth, and deep emotion for the ruthless passage of time.
"Time... flies so fast..."
Seeing his elder brother's deeply shocked look, Second Hokage Tobirama, although his face remained expressionless, his eyes seemed to darken a bit.
Seeing this, Third quickly added and explained, "There is no need to worry about this, Master First.
Tsunade She... Because she learned and mastered Yin Seal in her early years, she was able to store the excess Chakra in daily life and release it when needed, while greatly delaying the aging of body functions.
So with her current appearance and physical condition, she still looks like she is in her twenties."
"Oh?"
First Hashirama's eyes lit up again, and the confusion and emotion on his face were instantly replaced by surprise.
He made a fist with his right hand and slammed it into Left Hand's palm.
"Souga!"
He suddenly understood and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"She is indeed my granddaughter. Haha, that's good, that's good!"
Thinking that her granddaughter still maintained her youthful vitality, First's mood instantly turned from gloomy to bright, and she even ignored the tense confrontation in front of her and became happy on her own.
For him, the well-being of his loved ones means that everything he did during his lifetime was not in vain.
Hashirama's original intention in establishing the village was to hope that children like his two younger brothers Kawarama and Itama would not have to go to the battlefield.
It seems that after death, Hashirama also found his original wish.
