Is it because of old age? Jiraiya doesn't think so. The older a person is, the more stubborn and unreasonable they are. You can refer to Sarutobi Hiruzen for this.
"Hmph, you are too arrogant! No one will talk to you on the battlefield, Jiraiya. Killing you here is equivalent to winning half the victory, so why not do it. On the contrary, you, as the commander, treat the overall situation as a joke and step into the battlefield recklessly. Didn't the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen teach you this?" As Chiyo's voice gradually fell, the puppet troops unsealed the scrolls close to their bodies and released a large number of puppets.
"The old man only taught me that as a general, I should lead the troops and fight bravely." Jiraiya chuckled, not fearing an enemy ten times his size.
Before he finished his words, three figures appeared in front of him. They were the Pig, Deer and Butterfly Team responsible for protecting his safety.
"Lord Jiraiya, leave this to us!" Shikaku said.
"Thank you for your help, Shikaku, Choza, and Kaiichi."
Shikaku turned back and reminded Jiraiya: "Master Jiraiya, the attack of the Sand Ninja is too strange. I suspect they have some plan."
At the beginning, Jiraiya and the General Staff's strategy was to use him to lure Chiyo, but the Duke version of Tsunade turned out to be like a shit-stirring stick, disrupting the situation on the battlefield. So now Jiraiya is no longer sure about the actions of the Sand Ninja.

"Idiot! My eyes are red to begin with."
"Because I was worried about being discovered by the Byakugan, I didn't use the transformation technique and specially made this human skin mask. But now it seems that the effect is not as good as I thought. You should not have forgotten this face, right? We fought during the Second Ninja World War. Thanks to you, the scar on my back still hurts slightly on every cold night!" The Sand Ninja Puppet Master's eyes were full of resentment, and he spoke in a hoarse throat.
"Partial multiplication technique!" The long-awaited Qiu Dao Ding Zuo shouted loudly, and his open hands instantly became huge, raised high and punched down.
Boom! Boom! The ground shook, and blood splashed. Then a pair of big hands swung left and right, beating the immobile puppeteers into pieces.
"Bunta, keep jumping!" Jiraiya shouted loudly.
"Who said that Konoha is the strongest? Did you call yourself that?" The Hyuga jonin said sarcastically in a low voice.
"That's exactly what I meant. Let's see who can kill more!"
"Don't cry if you lose."
"Jiraiya, please don't die!" Bunta said before leaving.
"Damn it, what the hell is the Sand Ninja doing?" Jiraiya turned around and looked behind him. Chiyo was chasing him relentlessly, but she was not fast enough to avoid the stray arrows.
"What's up, you Byakugan guy, you want to compete?" Uchiha was not willing to be outdone. They all mastered the three major eye techniques, but those with the Rinnegan, Cataracts and Conjunctiva had always looked down on each other.
"To lure out... me?" Chiyo looked at Jiraiya in confusion.
"Shadow Seam Technique: Black Bianhua!" A dozen thin black shadows extended from under Shikaku's feet, and with him as the center, a black flower of death blossomed. This evil shadow flower would inevitably wither after it bloomed.
"Wind Style: Suppress!"
Where exactly is it? The Sand Ninja's lurking troops? "Jiraiya, you're not going to escape?" Chiyo instantly appeared in front of Jiraiya. She was probably a little out of breath after the intense exercise because of her age.
"Idiot, we don't have any fame at all! They are talking about our predecessors!" Yamanaka Haiyi complained.
A black-haired Konoha ninja opened his red Sharingan, detected the opponent's route, and spit out a big fireball. Then he quickly turned around and glared at the Sand Ninja who was trying to sneak attack, rotated the three magatama, activated the illusion to freeze him, and then used a kunai to cut his throat. Almost at the same time, the Sand Ninja who was cut in the throat by the illusion fell down, and the fireball also hit the enemy and exploded in mid-air.
Konoha and Sand Ninjas fought hand-to-hand, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the battle was in full swing. Explosions and thick smoke continued on the battlefield, and lives were lost every minute and every second. But in general, Konoha, which had a geographical advantage and set up a large number of traps, was still in an advantageous position. However, Sand Ninjas had more people, so this loss was still within their tolerance.
"I didn't expect that our fame has spread to the Sand Ninjas. It's really surprising." Akimichi Choza said happily. The three of them stood back to back, or rather, Shikaku and Haiyi were leaning against his back.
The battle between the puppeteer troops and the pig, deer and butterfly began. A puppeteer moved his ten fingers slightly, and each of his left and right hands controlled a large beast-like puppet. The whole body mechanism was activated, and dense purple poison needles emerged, oozing venom. Like him, the other puppeteers also controlled various puppets, with poison needles and poison arrows ready to be fired.
Wen Tai kicked his legs and jumped high into the sky. His huge body raised a cloud of dust after falling down, and the entire surface of the ground shook twice. Several unlucky Sand Ninjas were crushed into pieces, leaving only a few blood stains, proving that there was life here just now.
"Now is not the time to worry about chakra. I have a bad feeling that the Sand Ninja's attack seems to be a cover for some conspiracy." Jiraiya looked around the battlefield, his anxiety growing heavier. At his level, any premonition that causes uneasiness or crisis is no small matter.
"Kill all these Konoha ninjas!"
"You're still here?" Jiraiya's mouth twitched. It was really hard for you to follow Bunta all the way on the battlefield.
“…”
"Don't worry about that. I'm not planning to die until I seduce Tsunade." Jiraiya stood at the edge of the battlefield, his brows knitted into a "川" shape. He ran around like a headless fly, but found nothing.
"Puppetry: Thousands of Rains!"
"Earth escape: Earth Lance!"
"Hold on! Don't let any Sand Ninja get through the front line!"
This short Sand Ninja puppeteer was about 40 years old, and what embarrassed Jiraiya was that he was a man. No wonder he always felt something was wrong, it turned out that his chest was too flat, although Chiyo's was also flat, but at least there was a little ups and downs. Unlike now, although there is an extra brake, if you fall in winter, you will slide farther than anyone else.
"Why do you care so much about Tsunade? How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? She is out on a field mission. We sent her out specifically to lure Chiyo out on the battlefield." Jiraiya spread his hands. Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth?
"Ninjutsu: The Jutsu of the Heart's Random Dance!" Yamanaka Ina folded his hands and circled the puppeteer troops into his sight.
"That's you! Don't cry your eyes out."
Next to the Uchiha jonin, the cataracted Hyuga snorted at him, spread his hands and spun, deflecting a kunai. He turned around and slapped the approaching Sand Ninja away.
"It's the Nara clan, Yamanaka clan and Akimichi clan from Konoha! Damn it, be careful of their coordination." The remaining puppeteers scattered and surrounded the three people from all sides. They didn't dare to get close, and could only control the puppets from a distance.
A gray-white three-headed giant beast rushed across the battlefield, moving at an extremely fast speed with its four limbs spread out. Along the way, it knocked away more than a dozen Sand Ninjas. Some Sand Ninjas who jumped in the air to attack were captured by the three wolf heads and torn into pieces.
At the same time, Gamabunta, who was running back and forth around the battlefield, finally ran out of energy and turned into white smoke and returned to the spiritual world.
"It's the Nara clan of Konoha... Hurry and break free, he can't imprison them at the same time..." A puppeteer woke up and suddenly exerted force to break free from Shikaku's shadow. Before he could finish his words, he found that he had lost control of his body. At this moment, his body and soul were separated into two parts, like a bystander, deprived of the ability to speak.
On the battlefield, not only the Ino-Shika-Cho team shined, there were also several Konoha ninjas with extraordinary skills who were harvesting heads of the Sand ninjas.
"Then let them add a rule in the ninja manual that if you meet Konoha's Ino-Shika-Chou, you will die!" Shikaku formed seals with his hands, and at the end of his words, his chakra suddenly burst out, and the shadow under him suddenly stretched out, merging into the puppet's shadow, and then extending along the chakra line to the feet of the puppeteer.
"I'm talking about old lady Chiyo, not you. Who are you anyway? Are you chasing me all the way here to die?" Jiraiya said with a glance.
The puppeteer let out a low roar, as if he had foreseen the end of Zhu, Lu, and Die being pierced by thousands of arrows, and he couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile. But the next moment, his smile froze, and his torso, limbs, and even the fingers that he depended on for survival could not move at all. The whole person was frozen, and he couldn't even curl his thumb slightly.
This old woman also has problems...
“Kill—”
"Where is Tsunade? Why don't you let her out?" Chiyo kept panting and looked around carefully, fearing that Tsunade would jump out of the bushes and smear Demacia on her face.
"Feel it, Konoha's strongest Uchiha!" The Uchiha Jonin said coldly, the light and shadow of the explosion flashing behind him. If Duke was present, he would definitely sigh, in terms of pretense, only the Uchiha wall can hold.
"Have you been discovered? You are worthy of being one of the Three Ninjas. You really should not be underestimated." The fake Chiyo admitted generously. His voice became hoarse. He reached out and pulled up a layer of human skin under his neck, revealing a face that was 70% similar to Chiyo's.
"Even the heavens are blessing us. The sun is so bright today!" Shikaku chuckled and looked at the confused puppeteers: "Haiyi, Dingzuo! The fifth formation, be careful not to waste chakra."
"I can't move my body... What is this?" The puppeteer noticed from the corner of his eye that the shadow under his feet stretched out and extended to Shikaku's feet, merging with his shadow. In addition to him, other puppeteers also encountered this strange scene, with dark and long shadows twisting on the ground like snakes.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Making big moves in such a fierce battlefield... my chakra will be consumed quickly. If I go back to Myoboku Mountain, you can summon Gama Ken and the others to help you. You flies are so annoying!" Bunta jumped hundreds of meters away, and after landing, he raised the long sword with one hand and swung it hard. The storm he created swept up a dozen Sand Ninjas in front of him, leaving a pool of blood.
"Inuzuka-ryu human-beast hybrid transformation: three-headed wolf!"
"Got it!" "Leave it to me!"
"Hearing you say that, I suddenly remembered that your face... is very famous among the puppeteer troops of the Sand Ninja... Could it be that you..." Jiraiya said with his eyes wide open and a serious and low face.
"Yes, it's me!" The puppeteer grinned, you finally remembered.
"Who are you?"
The second update is a little late, but I promise there will be later ones...
