"No need. Focus on your own mission."
Tobirama Senju declined Jiraiya's offer of help. He was already preparing to set off to find Hashirama Senju first. "The enemy may have retreated for now, but there's no telling when they'll reappear. Just in case, you must stay here and guard the Surprise Attack Unit."
Jiraiya turned to glance at the troops resting and regrouping. He could only nod. "Understood. Leave this place to me."
Indeed, although Nagato and Uchiha Itachi had withdrawn, they both had bodies reanimated through Impure World Reincarnation. They could reappear at any moment to attack the Surprise Attack Unit.
That was why Jiraiya could not leave. He had to keep a constant watch on the battlefield.
Any ninja selected for the Surprise Attack Unit naturally possessed considerable abilities in every respect. Even among the hundred thousand allied troops, they definitely ranked near the top.
But now they were being compared to extraordinarily powerful opponents. Nagato and Uchiha Itachi were geniuses among geniuses.
For ordinary ninja, gaining the upper hand against those two really was a pipe dream.
During the earlier fighting and slaughter, the other ninja of the Surprise Attack Unit had been dealing with ordinary Impure World Reincarnation ninja and White Zetsu.
Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju and Jiraiya had been responsible for keeping Nagato and Uchiha Itachi occupied the entire time.
That was also why the Surprise Attack Unit had suffered no major losses despite facing enemy surprise attackers who outnumbered them, most of whom were Impure World Reincarnation ninja.
Tobirama Senju and Jiraiya had held off the two strongest enemies for them!
With the elite ninja held back, the other Impure World Reincarnation ninja and White Zetsu were no match for the Surprise Attack Unit. After a bout of fierce fighting, they were dealt with.
