"What did you say?!
Jiraiya … Jiraiya is dead?! "
After receiving the latest news from the Anbu, Homura and Koharu couldn't help but feel dizzy, as if they were in a dream.
As the elders of Konoha and the 3rd Hokage, they played a pivotal role in Konoha. The 5th Hokage Tsunade went out to participate in the alliance meeting, so the heavy responsibility of guarding Konoha's rear fell on the shoulders of these two elders.
After all, these two were the subordinates of the Second Hokage and participated in the Shinobi World War. Although they aren't very talented as soldiers, they aren't simple in terms of strategy, especially in terms of internal affairs, they are better than Shikaku Nara, Konoha's number one military commander.
The internal stability of Konoha for so many years was also due to these two.
But now, the news was too shocking. Even the calmest tactician couldn't maintain his composure in the face of such a shocking news.
Who is Jiraiya?
One of the three Sannin of Konoha, when the 3rd Hokage died, the two of them recommended Jiraiya to be the 5th Hokage of Konoha, but they were rejected by Jiraiya.
However, who is the enemy?
Orochimaru?
And the helper that Orochimaru brought?
What a joke, even if Orochimaru was at his peak, he wouldn't be afraid, let alone Orochimaru who was crippled.
Didn't they see that when Orochimaru carried out the plan to destroy Konoha, he bypassed the time when Jiraiya was out?
Also, at that time, although Orochimaru's hands were crippled, he still managed to kill Konoha's Third Hokage, Sarutobi. The Sound and the Sand Shinobi were fighting against Konoha's Shinobi. At that time, no one in Konoha could stop him, but why did he choose to retreat at such a critical time?
Isn't it because Orochimaru sensed Jiraiya's Chakra coming back to Konoha?
Thinking about it, as the strongest person left in Konoha, Jiraiya was very cautious.
This caused the two cautious and suspicious elders to feel reassured and send him to fight the invaders. They originally thought that he would be a hundred percent victorious, but they never imagined that they would receive such grievous news!
Homura's face was extremely ugly as he said: "Is it Orochimaru?
He can use ninjutsu now? "
The Anbu replied, "No … the one who killed Jiraiya-sama wasn't Orochimaru. Jiraiya-sama used three large summoned beasts to fight against Orochimaru while he fought against another invader alone."
"Another intruder?" Koharu expressed her surprise and suspicion. "You mean Orochimaru's helper?
Impossible!
Even Orochimaru couldn't do such a thing, so how could the helpers he invited … "
Both of them were shocked that Jiraiya was killed by such an unknown Nagato. It's no wonder, the Akatsuki itself hasn't officially appeared in the Shinobi World, and the major Shinobi Villages don't know much about this mysterious organization. Rock Village, which cooperates with the Akatsuki the most, regards the Akatsuki as a mysterious war mercenary organization.
Through Uchiha Itachi, Konoha knew that the members of the Akatsuki were all S-class international wanted criminals with extraordinary strength.
However, Konoha didn't know anything about Pain, let alone Nagato, who was secretly manipulating him.
"Damn it!
We don't even know the identity of the enemy! "
Koharu was also confused. Jiraiya's death really made it difficult for her to maintain the calm of a counselor.
"Calm down … Now, the first thing we have to think about is how to stop the enemy." Homura said in a deep voice.
"Stop?
How?! "Koharu couldn't help but yell." Even Jiraiya was killed!
At this time, Tsunade isn't here, who else can stop this enemy?! "
"No, there is."
Homura's old eyes flashed coldly, and he immediately continued, "Although he is not under our control, we still have a key chess piece that we can use …"
"You mean … him?"
Koharu also reacted quickly, and she quickly understood who Homura was referring to. After thinking a little, she immediately understood who the "key chess piece" was, and she couldn't help but hesitate. "Is it really okay for us to do this?
That guy … isn't someone to mess with. Danzo is the best example. "
"We have no way to deal with the enemy who defeated Jiraiya, except for him, I can't think of a second person." Homura shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, for Konoha, we have to do this." Koharu nodded. "So … What exactly should we do?"
…
"Is that so? Has it reached the point where we, the younger generation, will have to enter the battlefield?
According to the overall situation, this shouldn't be the case.
That's because in the face of a natural disaster surrounded by forest fires, the insects hugged each other and rolled into a ball to escape from the forest. The older ones stayed outside, this way, they can protect the younger ones. "Shino Aburame explained the order given by his superiors.
"Hey!
Shino, are you afraid?
Really, isn't this good?
It's a good time to show off our skills!
Haha! "
Inuzuka rubbed his hands together, and he was eager to try. They were young and hot-blooded, and they didn't know what a real battlefield was like.
"When the nest is overturned, how can there be an egg intact?
Since that's the case, we can only attack! "Tian Tian took out her silver Desert Eagle from her bosom.
"Tian Tian … Is that thing really okay?
Although the speed is good, the power is really … "Ino looked at Tian Tian's Desert Eagle and expressed her distrust.
"That's different!"
Tian Tian took out the weakened bullet clip and replaced it with the strengthened one left by Kirito. Usually, because the Desert Eagle's lethality is too high, it can even kill a Jonin with one shot. Therefore, Tian Tian usually uses ordinary self-made bullets.
"This is the weapon that Kirito gave me!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
"…" Hinata clenched her fists. She was usually timid and weak, but her silver-white eyes were filled with determination. "I believe that this time, I can do it …"
"Hinata …" Everyone present couldn't help but be surprised by Hinata's strong confidence.
"So that's how it is, things have really developed to this point …" The smart Shikamaru Nara seemed to have realized the real purpose of letting them go to the battlefield, and he glanced at Hinata and Tian Tian not far away.
However, it's a pity that no one present noticed this, and he didn't say it clearly.
"As a ninja, it's understandable to obey orders, so let's go."
Hyuga Neji said in a deep voice. As the most convincing genius of the younger generation, he was the captain of this mission.
