"This is the true power of the Tailed Beast..."
A thousand meters away, Jiraiya watched the seemingly endless tornado, felt the wind cutting like knives around him, and personally experienced the terror of the Tailed Beast.
Just half an hour ago, he experienced Tailed Beast Bomb that wasn't even complete, which almost sent him to meet the Old Man Third. However, compared to the current storm, that Tailed Beast Bomb was nothing.
He didn't want to see the Old Man Third before "Icha Icha Paradise" was finished and he hadn't gathered enough writing material.
"Let the younger generation handle those dangerous battlefields. I'm too old, so I'll just bully the younger generation of Kumogakure."
Although Jiraiya was wrapped in bandages all over his body, making him look somewhat comical, his quirky style lacked the aura of a strongman, unlike the Fourth Raikage who looked intimidating.
But Darui, who was in charge of covering the rear, didn't think so. This old man, who looked weak and lecherous, was actually incredibly strong. Even though he was injured, he still steadily suppressed him and destroyed his Ninja Blade with a powerful, unspelled Ninjutsu.
If he hadn't used his Ninja Blade, which had been with him for over twenty years, to block that attack, he probably would have already gone to meet the Third Raikage.
But for the sake of the retreating Kumogakure troops, he couldn't fall...
" Storm Release: Laser Circus "
Darui clasped his hands together, and clear water flowed towards Jiraiya along different paths, but at this speed, it was almost impossible to hit Jiraiya.
Jiraiya cautiously created some distance, frowning as he watched the water shimmering with lightning, then suddenly realized:
"It's actually Storm Release. I didn't expect that there's a Storm Release Kekkei Genkai in Kumogakure."
Darui didn't care that Storm Release was too slow, because Storm Release is Ninjutsu whose direction can be controlled at will.
Darui had the energy to chat even while controlling his Storm Release.
" Second Shinobi World War, ninety percent of our clan perished on the battlefield, and the greatest executioner was..."
"It's our Konoha!" Jiraiya took the lead without any hesitation.
"There is no mercy in war. Even if you are the last member of your clan, I will kill you without hesitation!"
Jiraiya's righteous indignation left Darui speechless. He was not good with words, and when faced with someone like Jiraiya who didn't care about saving face, he had no confidence to refute him at all.
Darui can only demonstrate his will through actions; his prowess will be proven in his hands!
Jiraiya didn't hesitate either, clasping his hands together in Hand Seals and tossing his casually flowing white hair.
"The hero of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya!"
But just as the two were about to make their move, a short knife spun and stuck between them. Unable to determine friend from foe, both chose to take a step back out of caution.
"Cloud Flow - Flying Blade"
Another identical short sword hurtled straight at Jiraiya's face; the identity of the newcomer was self-evident.
"Ninja Technique: Needle Jizo."
Jiraiya was Jiraiya protected by his long, flowing white hair, leaving no gaps or flaws.
The short blades that flew from afar cut off several strands of hair, but they couldn't truly harm Jiraiya.
Even so, she achieved her goal.
" Lord Jiraiya of the Konoha Sannin, how about we stop here? If you insist on continuing, Two-Tails Jinchūriki of Yugito Kumogakure be your opponent later."
The newcomer had a clear and melodious voice. Even without seeing her in Jiraiya, Jiraiya's extensive experience with women was enough to tell that she was definitely a great beauty.
His layers of white hair came undone, Jiraiya's battle-ready eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, his carefully cultivated aura of strength vanishing completely.
"She's truly a stunning beauty! Absolutely unmatched in the Shinobi World, unmatched in the Shinobi World..."
Seeing Jiraiya's lecherous expression, Samui felt a surge of disgust. Although she already knew about Jiraiya's character from the files, seeing him in person was still incredibly repulsive...
Samui strode with an imposing air, her breathtakingly tall figure trembling with each sway of her body, making one worry that her clothes might burst out at any moment.
"Slurp... it's really big."
Jiraiya subconsciously wiped away his drool, his gaze still fixed on Samui's towering, cloud-like breasts.
Samui repeated himself with a look of disgust, as if he were looking at a pervert:
" Lord Jiraiya Konoha Sannin, may you depart now, or prepare to face the wrath of Lady Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki."
Although he still appeared to be a lecherous old man, Jiraiya was already deep in thought about serious matters.
" The Two-Tails Jinchūriki... I didn't expect Kumogakure to send out their last remaining forces. This is going to be difficult... But is there any way to capture this female ninja?"
Jiraiya gave Samui a malicious look. Samui, with her keen senses, felt a strong malice staring at her, and knew without a doubt where the malice came from.
" Lord Jiraiya, please have some self-respect!"
"Cough cough..." Even someone as thick-skinned as Jiraiya couldn't help but cough embarrassedly after his little scheme was exposed to his face.
With a slightly flushed face Jiraiya forced a serious expression and said:
"This is the Land of Fire. Do you Kumogakure you can just come and go as you please from Kumogakure?"
"Oh, Jiraiya, you want to stop me?"
Before seeing him, you hear his voice; he's another formidable opponent... Jiraiya uses all his sensory abilities, yet gains almost nothing. He has participated in numerous battles, his injuries are not yet healed, and his Chakra is greatly depleted. Jiraiya's condition is already very poor.
" Tailed Fire Jutsu."
A scorching heat rushed towards him, Jiraiya hurriedly jumped away, avoiding the potentially deadly flame.
"The eerie blue flames... it really is the Two-Tails Jinchūriki..."
Jiraiya was extremely frustrated Jiraiya suffering a great loss at the hands of Jinchūriki. During the Second Shinobi World War and Third Shinobi World War, everyone had been very restrained and would not send out Jinchūriki unless absolutely necessary.
But what's going on this time? The war has just begun, and both of Kumogakure's Jinchūriki have appeared. What, does Kumogakure?
" Jiraiya, you don't need to meddle in the affairs of Kumogakure. I'm taking them with me."
The Yugito Nii elegant cat-like steps, silently approached Samui, boldly declaring their will.
Occasionally, the Yugito Nii would look up at the true battlefield a thousand meters away, their eyes filled with longing. That was the place that truly determined victory or defeat, but she was not yet ready to participate.
Jiraiya compared the combat strength of both sides.
Kumogakure: The Two-Tails Jinchūriki, with the Storm Release Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, plus a female ninja with an amazing figure.
Konoha: Severely injured, and frequently forced to drift off during battle... (The gravity of those huge Icha Icha Paradise is inescapable)
Jiraiya quickly made the right decision, watching the Two-Tails Jinchūriki escort them from behind, and took away this group of Kumogakure who were originally destined to die.
