Chapter 409 Jiraiya’s trump card!

Thunder Country Battlefield

After the Raikage and Ai escaped, Tiezhu walked down the towering rocks while tightening the Diamond Seal, and at the same time, he also released the rocks that protected Minato and the others.

"Minato, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Uncle Tiezhu. But you are really strong. He is the Raikage, and you were defeated like this!"

"It was just luck. I guess the information we brought here must have been leaked. That guy consumed a lot of chakra. Otherwise, I wouldn't have won so easily."

Well, winning won't be easy. Does that mean we can still win?

Thinking of this, Kakashi and Obito, who had recovered from their shock, looked at the Iron Pillar with admiration on their faces.

At this moment, Tiezhu, who was smiling, was suddenly stunned and turned his head to look at Killer Bee who had transformed into a tailed beast in confusion.

"Uncle Tiezhu, what's wrong?"

Tiezhu smiled and said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just made a mistake. So this is the perfect Jinchūriki. It's really interesting. Minato, I think I know how to solve your chakra problem."

Tiezhu looked at the empty shell of Eight-Tailed Fox, stroked his chin, and pondered the possibility of that scenario.

Hearing Tiezhu's words, Minato was stunned for a moment, "But Uncle Tiezhu, my chakra is not small, it's more than enough."

Tiezhu glanced at Minato with disdain, "With that little chakra you have, you have the nerve to say it's a lot?"

Minato was about to retort, but when he saw the old man's bright red hair, the words on his lips disappeared instantly. Compared with the Uzumaki clan, most people's chakra is indeed less.

Immediately, Minato quickly changed the subject and stopped talking about this sad fact.

"Uncle Tiezhu, what do you mean by misjudgment?"

"It's simple, Minato, just take a closer look at the Eight-Tails."

Hearing Tiezhu's words, Minato, Kakashi and others immediately turned their heads curiously to look at Killer Bee who had transformed into the Eight-Tailed Fox.

"Isn't this a big deal? The deterrent effect is still so strong." Kakashi on the side took a look and looked at Minato in confusion.

"No, Kakashi, Obito, look carefully, this is just an empty shell now!" After taking a few careful looks, Minato said seriously.

"Empty shell? That means..."

"Ah, he has escaped!"

"Alright, let's just escape. That guy gave up so much chakra, so he's not much better. It will have little impact on the subsequent battle. Anyway, our mission this time is just to rescue them, so these are extra gains."

"Hmm? That's right. Then let's go back, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin." Minato shook his head and smiled, putting the matter behind him for the time being, and gave the three little ones a gentle smile.

"Teacher, yes!" X 3

Looking at the extremely moved Sanxiao and the extremely friendly Minato, Tiezhu felt that he had found a very good son-in-law, and even the bad memories that had just been brought up by the Raikage were diluted a little.

"Alright, I'm impressed enough. Give me a hand and seal this guy up. That should satisfy the condition. Let's give it a try."

"Yes, Uncle Tiezhu."

After sealing the Eight-Tails, including its scattered tentacles, the sky gradually darkened. Fortunately, Minato and the others were preparing to return via Flying Thunder God, so the sky had little impact on them.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Minato took them back to the Konoha camp.

In this battle, they made a lot of money. Not only did they break one of Ai's arms and cripple the Eight-Tails, they also harvested more than a dozen Cloud Ninja corpses. These had a huge impact on the entire battle situation!

With these, the Intelligence Department will be able to analyze more useful things, and dealing with the Cloud Ninja will become much easier.

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. When they rushed back to the camp, they received even better news. Orochimaru single-handedly blocked the attack from the Land of Earth and pulled out all the troops from the battlefield of the Land of Earth!

(Emmmm, something seems off. Well, all the bad writers are at this level anyway, and even stupid readers can’t tell.)

At the same time, news came from the Land of Water that the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of the Mist Village had lost control, and they could also withdraw part of their troops to support Minato and his men!

This greatly relieved the pressure on Minato and the others. As mentioned before, although in terms of high-end combat power, Konoha can completely crush the Lightning Country battlefield alone, the gap in the number of mid- and low-end people is too large, and it cannot be reversed by one or two strong people. At present, Konoha does not have strong people of this level, except for Orochimaru who can be reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation.

As for the mid- and low-end, there is really no way. Konoha is strong, but its military strength is not strong enough to fight three at the same time. In addition, the Anbu directly under the third generation has other tasks and cannot support them.

Therefore, the reinforcements brought by Mitomon En and Utane Koharu have greatly alleviated the predicament of Minato and his men. Compared with this, the arrival of the two advisory elders is not so important.

In the tent, Men Yan and Xiao Chun looked at Shuimen and Tiezhu with sighs.

Before coming here, they fully believed that they would be a strong support, including the two of them, but they did not expect that the situation would change so drastically in such a short time.

The Raikage was defeated, the AB team was beaten to the point of being unable to participate in the battle, and more than a dozen Kumo ninja corpses were captured.

Fortunately, low-end combat power is still a bit scarce here, so their arrival is not completely useless, otherwise they would have lost a lot of face.

"Elder Tiezhu's strength is still as strong as before~" A hint of envy flashed in Men Yan's eyes as he sat on the side seat.

Unlike the Uzumaki Iron Pillar who has strong vitality, Men Yan and the others have begun to age, their physical reactions have begun to decline, and even their chakra has weakened recently and is no longer at its peak.

Now, they mainly rely on their extremely rich combat experience to ensure that their combat effectiveness does not decline seriously. Therefore, they envy Tiezhu who is still in his prime like a young man.

"You're overly kind. It was just a fluke. We'll talk about that later. First, let's talk about how this battle will be fought. My previous victory over the Raikage was a complete accident. Even if we face him again, I'm still confident I can defeat him."

"But it's obvious that guy can't be that stupid, so we should think about how to deal with him. The speed of the Raikage is not slow."

"As for speed, Minato should be pretty good, right?"

Hearing Koharu's words, Minato shook his head, "No, Flying Thunder God is indeed faster than the Raikage, but I can't break his defense. If it's Shirou, he should be able to do it."

"Emiya Shirou? Are you sure?"

"Even if he can, he can't come. He must be on the battlefield over there. Once he leaves, no one can stop Kirigakure's attack." Unlike Koharu, Men Yan did not ask Shiro whether he could really do it.

Because it's useless. Shi Lang can't come to this battlefield at all. It doesn't make any sense whether he can solve it or not. Changing generals in the middle of a battle is a taboo in any world!

Therefore, Men Yan had never considered this possibility. He would rather the battle here be more difficult than cause the collapse of Kirigakure.

"Then what should we do? None of us can keep up with the speed of the Raikage, right?" After Men Yan finished speaking, Xiaochun also realized this problem and immediately asked with a frown.

The tent suddenly became quiet, and few people dared to take on this matter, including Tiezhu who had just defeated Raikage.

Although Tiezhu seemed to have forced the Raikage into a corner in the recent battle, that was in a one-on-one situation, and he relied entirely on the unique special characteristics of his earth escape technique. On the battlefield, the Raikage would not confront him head-on, so he actually had no way to deal with the Raikage on the battlefield.

"Or, let me try!"

At this moment, an unexpected person spoke, and everyone looked in astonishment at the white-haired middle-aged man with his head lowered and a smile on his face.

"Jiraiya? This is not the time to joke around! The Raikage is no ordinary enemy!"

Looking at the serious Utane Koharu, Jiraiya smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder Utane, I'm not kidding. I'll deal with that guy. During this period, it's not just Orochimaru who has made progress~"

Looking at the confident Jiraiya teacher, Minato's eyes flashed, and he asked hesitantly: "Jiraiya teacher, are you talking about senjutsu?"

“Yeah, that’s right!”

"But Jiraiya-sensei, Senjutsu can indeed enhance perception and detect his movements. I believe Jiraiya-sensei's Senjutsu can also break through his defense, but the speed is not."

After hearing what Minato said, Jiraiya nodded. Indeed, judging from the destructive power of his own magic, he was confident that he could break it even if the Raikage's defense doubled!

But just as Minato said, even if he could sense the Raikage's movements, his body couldn't keep up.

Yes, magic can enhance physical fitness, but it won’t be this strong!

Therefore, it is normal for the water to hesitate. After all, he has also learned some immortal arts. Although he is not as strong as Jiraiya who cooperates with the two immortals, he still understands these basic things.

"Wait, Jiraiya-sensei, are you going to use that?"

Jiraiya was about to explain when he was interrupted by Minato, and then he nodded again.

"But didn't the immortal say that he hadn't succeeded yet?"

Facing Minato's question, Jiraiya smiled mysteriously, "That one is naturally not yet complete, it's still just a concept, but the original advanced version has been practiced. When the time comes, you will see how powerful this master is!"

Seeing Jiraiya trying to keep things in suspense, Koharu frowned, "Jiraiya, you can teach your disciples later if you want. This matter involves the direction of Konoha's plans! You must give us an accurate answer!"

"Otherwise, even if we ask Hiruzen to give up that plan and call him over, we won't let you go!"

"That's right! Jiraiya, we won't allow you to do anything wrong in this regard!" Men Yan on the side also echoed seriously.

Hearing this, Jiraiya's expression froze, his smile instantly disappeared, and he lowered his head in a low voice, "Okay, but what do you want me to believe?"

"It's very simple. Didn't Elder Tiezhu fight with the Raikage before? He can just test you. As long as he agrees, we will agree too. I believe Elder Tiezhu won't cover for him in such a matter, right?"

"Don't worry, I know my limits. There's no time to lose. Let's go. Once this matter is decided, we can arrange other things."

"Um!"

As they spoke, everyone stood up and prepared to go to a secret place for training. When Minato Yan and the others walked out of the tent first, Jiraiya tilted his head and whispered in Minato's ear:

"Minato, you are familiar with Elder Tiezhu, so please help me and let me go later. How about that? I guarantee that my trick will be effective against the Raikage! Good disciple, trust me once!"

A trace of helplessness flashed in Minato's eyes. This master is good in everything except this one thing. He is too childish.

Although Minato also believed that Jiraiya would not joke about such things, he dared to say this because he was strong enough, and this was out of trust in his teacher.

But at the same time, Minato didn't dare to joke about this matter. If something unexpected happened, it would not only have a great impact on Konoha, but Jiraiya would also be in danger.

Therefore, Minato did not hesitate and directly rejected Jiraiya's delusion!

To see if he can deal with the Raikage, we have to let the Whirlpool Iron Pillar try it first!

There was no way out. Since Minato didn't agree, Jiraiya could only accept his fate. He was not familiar with the Uzumaki Iron Pillar, but there was nothing to regret. He just couldn't show off anymore.

As for failure? Jiraiya hadn't considered that. He had been wandering around the Ninja Realm for years, not just to help Konoha gather intelligence. In the days after parting with Nagato and the others, he had discovered many interesting things.

The understanding of this world is also constantly improving. Similarly, in this great change, as an important assistant of Myoboku Mountain, Jiraiya has received stronger support!

In addition to the original two immortals guiding him and cooperating with him in performing magic, the Great Toad Immortal will also wake up from time to time to give him instructions. What he is going to show you is a weakened version of the new magic that has been instructed by the Great Toad Immortal!

Afterwards, Jiraiya and his men conducted a secret test, and the specific situation was only known to the few people present. The White Zetsu who gathered in secret also evacuated the place for fear of being sensed by the magic.

Therefore, what Jiraiya finally showed was only known to the few people present. Others only knew that the entire camp was mobilized rapidly since then. At the same time, a transfer order was sent to another of the three ninjas - Tsunade.

"Rush to the Thunder Country battlefield? Be prepared to ask Slug Sage to cooperate with treatment at any time? Those guys should know my current condition, right? Is the front line already critical to this extent?"

"Damn it! The old man did it at this time!" In a rage, he suddenly lost control of the strength of his hands pressing on the table.

“Crack!”

"Lady Tsunade, what happened?" Shizune thought something unexpected had happened when she heard the voice. Thinking of Tsunade's special condition, she hurried in. When she found that there was nothing unexpected, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah~ Lady Tsunade, please don't be angry if something happens. The table will be changed again."

Tsunade ignored Shizune's complaints and instead quietly stared at the order in her hand, thinking.

"Lady Tsunade, is there any news?" Shizune was about to turn her head to look when Tsunade squeezed her hand, causing chakra to flow and the command to turn into ashes in an instant.

"Lady Tsunade."

"Shizune, get ready and rush to the Thunder Country battlefield."

"Eh?! But haven't the two advisors already gone there? And what are we going there for when Tsunade-sama is sick?"

"Go save some fool that's messing around!"

“Hu~Bang!”
