Kabuto Yakushi, who has followed Orochimaru for many years, certainly cannot be completely ignorant of the Reincarnation Technique, otherwise he would not have used this technique as a bargaining chip to trade with Mizuki.
Kabuto Yakushi knew very well that it would not take too long to complete the reincarnation. What was more troublesome was the search and cultivation of the soul container.
"Could it be that, as Mizuki said, Orochimaru's reincarnation has failed?"
Why is there this action today?
Isn't it just to avoid becoming a tragic loser as Mizuki predicted?
In an instant, a bad premonition arose in Yakushi Kabuto's heart.
Of all the variables, the one that is least considered is that the final step of reincarnation will fail.
The tiger cannot eat the antelope, possibly because the antelope runs too fast or has been hunted by other beasts, but it is definitely not possible that the antelope uses its fragile horns to gore the tiger to death.
Unfortunately, this is no longer a problem that Kabuto Yakushi can interfere with. The only thing he can do is to shake off the pursuers behind him and wait quietly for the final result.
A fight was taking place in Uchiha Sasuke's spiritual space, and Kabuto Yakushi outside was not idle either.
They have already used several trump cards, and even the Impure World Forms of the Sandaime Kazekage and Bruhi have been lost one after another. If the situation cannot be saved in the end, the loss will be huge. Not only that, two of them may really die here today.
The key lies in whether Orochimaru can obtain Uchiha Sasuke's body. As long as he succeeds, some losses will be worth it. If he fails...
Although he had been reminded, Kabuto Yakushi had never really thought about his future plans.
Having lost the master it could rely on, "Pocket", which was born as a tool, is still confused about what the future holds.
…
Jiraiya is a very well-rounded ninja. Even in illusion techniques, which he is not very good at, he has a good resistance.
Being entrusted with high hopes by Tsunade and being her most important source of intelligence, Jiraiya's talent in covert reconnaissance is absolutely outstanding.
In addition to his own strength, the most important thing is that Jiraiya has a large group of summoned beasts with their own characteristics to help him.
In the sacred place of summoning beasts, Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya learned many secret techniques unknown to the outside world.
The Toad Hiding Technique is the secret reconnaissance technique that Jiraiya relies on as his foundation.
This technique is similar to the way Orochimaru can escape from a snake's mouth, but Jiraiya also crawled out from a toad's mouth.
In the original work, Jiraiya once used this technique to hide in the belly of a toad, and then sneaked into the Rain Village safely.
If it weren't for the ubiquitous secret detection technique - Rain Tiger Free Technique, no Rain Ninja would have noticed Jiraiya's invasion.
And now, Jiraiya, who was hiding in the toad's body and silently observing the movements around him, couldn't help but want to come out to help several times.
When Uchiha Itachi appeared and Hoshigaki Kisame caused great trouble; when Deidara's explosion in the distance and Kabuto Yakushi's strength made Team 7, including Tenzo and Mizuki, return empty-handed; and when the outer defense line was in danger and Pain's Six Paths attacked strongly; and now, the terrifying power of Chibaku Tensei has caused heavy losses to the joint forces of Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village.
Jiraiya watched all this happen with anxiety.
Fortunately, Shuimu brought a few helpers to stabilize the situation, although the aftermath was a bit troublesome.
Jiraiya felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw Kazuhiko, the physical clone of Mizuki who sealed the Three-Tails in his body and became the Three-Tails Jinchūriki.
But now is not the time to focus on these things. If we lose the war, there’s no need to mention anything.
"What a decisive guy! I never thought that such a decisive ninja could be born in peacetime!"
Anyone who can turn the tide in a critical moment is a hero.
A decision maker who can find the best option and execute it without hesitation is a qualified leader.
This quality is extremely rare.
Many ninjas can show good talents in combat wisdom, but they really need some talent to see the overall situation.
Why is it that the shadows of a village are often passed down from one generation to the next?
There are some things that can only be understood but not expressed in words, and can only be perfectly inherited between a master and his disciples.
Putting aside the anxiety in his heart for the moment, he drove the toad to move continuously, slowly sensing any suspicious movements. At the same time, other summoning toads from Myoboku Mountain were also secretly searching for the trace of Nagato's real body nearby.
"This is not a solution!"
According to Mizuki's information, there should be Konan's paper ninjutsu disguise next to Nagato, which is very concealed and a perfect guard.
It is basically impossible to find it by ordinary means. At least until now, neither Jiraiya nor the Summoning Toad have found anything.
After patrolling back and forth with no results, Jiraiya gave up this unreliable method.
After finding a secluded place, Jiraiya sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, silently accumulating chakra while sensing the natural energy.
A few minutes later, Jiraiya, with sage runes appearing on his face, cast his most powerful reconnaissance barrier - the Sky Canopy Array.
This kind of barrier technique can create a barrier with oneself as the center, relying on one's own abilities and super perception in Sage Mode, to create a barrier whose size can be controlled at will. Not only can it sense all invisible things, but it can also control the space inside this spherical barrier.
In other words, if you are trapped in it, you will not be able to use space-time ninjutsu such as summoning techniques before the sky-covered formation stops.
"Hurry up and find it!"
Since he has used the Sage Mode regardless of the consequences, he is prepared to completely eliminate Nagato in one go.
If you spend too much time looking for someone and waste too much chakra, how can you possibly fight against the legendary bloodline limit like the Rinnegan?
After searching for a long time, Jiraiya, in his uneasy mood, let go of his senses and finally noticed a suspicious place.
"I found it. Is it right there? My efforts were not in vain!"
Jiraiya let out a long sigh, and once again formed seals with his hands. As chakra surged, Sage Shima and Sage Fukasaku appeared beside Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, have you found someone?"
Fukasaku Sennin, who already knew Jiraiya's decision, said in a deep voice.
"You once mistakenly thought he was a disciple of the Child of Destiny..."
"No, there is no mistake."
"Hey, didn't you confirm that Naruto is the child of destiny?"
"I firmly believe that Nagato is definitely not an evil person. The Toad Sage also said that my disciple is the child of destiny, but he never said that there is only one child of destiny, Nagato. He was just deceived and used by others."
