Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 123: Jiraiya, we should seek peace through war

To be honest, Jiraiya was really moved.

In his opinion, the so-called "Secrets of Kyoto" is just a bunch of crap except for that one aspect. Calling it literature is an insult to the word literature.

Such goods can be sold well in various countries.

If I take action myself, wouldn't I immediately become a well-known and best-selling author?

Jiraiya was also very moved.

He touched his chin and was about to say something he was thinking, but he stopped himself before the words came out.

No!

There were two children present—

In his eyes, Jingyan is not a child.

This kid was very young, but he had reason to suspect that his reading experience in various areas might be richer than Minato's.

No reason, just intuition.

They arrived at a restaurant in the Land of Grass, Jiraiya booked a room and invited everyone to have dinner together.

The five people had a good meal in the house.

Although there are living areas in Kikyo Castle, it is near a military base after all, and business is not well developed, and ninjas live more there.

The dishes made are just edible.

After eating, Jiraiya set up a barrier to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

After confirming that it was safe, he smiled and explained the general situation here to the four people.

Today, the Kusagakure Village is under the control of Wu Wei, and its policies are very different from those in the early years. Upon detecting signs of invasion from the Iwagakure Village, he decisively and directly invited the Konoha ninjas to settle in the Land of Grass.

Therefore, the Konoha ninja army was stationed in the north, guarding the Kanmubi Bridge together with the Kusanagi ninjas.

This is the only bridge between the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth.

Even for a ninja, it is not easy to jump between two cliffs, so guarding the bridge is equivalent to guarding the Land of Grass.

"So, so far, Ōnoki has no intention of attacking?"

Namikaze water gate.

Jiraiya nodded.

"It's a standoff for now. Also, Ohnoki must have a secret agent in the Wind Country. He will get the news soon. Given his cautiousness, he may give up the attack."

"That would be troublesome."

Namikaze Minato frowned.

He had never dealt with Ōnoki, but from the information he had read, this man was very patient. If they made up their minds not to take action, they would have no way to deal with the Iwagakure Village.

After all, the Iwagakure are best at defense, and with Ōnoki's Dust Release, it would be very dangerous if they attacked.

Even if there is Jingyan...

Namikaze Minato glanced at Kyohiko and shook his head secretly.

Kyohiko did master Wood Release, but unless he used the cells of the First Hokage, his Wood Release did not have the power of the First Hokage and could not have a complete deterrent effect.

and.

If it was just for deterrence, it would have had a strong enough effect on the Sand Village, and attacking again would make it easier for the opponent to see the flaw.

"Teacher, what are you going to do?"

"ignore him."

Jiraiya said seriously, "Oonoki is like a rock, tenacious and strong-willed. He is not an easy character to deal with."

"The Iwagakure Village is very ambitious and had previously planned to attack us. We have evidence of this."

Jing Yan suddenly spoke.

He listened to the conversation between Jiraiya and Minato and knew that Sensei Jiraiya was going to back down again.

It's not weakness, but...

If the current stability could be maintained, Jiraiya would not take the initiative to provoke a war.

This is their consistent character.

However, Jingyan didn't think that the Iwagakure Village had the determination to maintain peace between the two sides, or -

If they want to expand in the future, Konoha will not be considered first.

"I know, but the problem is, if we want to fight back now, we have to take the initiative to attack the Land Kingdom, which is not very cost-effective. We can wait a little longer."

Jiraiya explained.

Jing Yan shook his head: "Teacher, whether it is cost-effective or not is not such a simple calculation."

Then he used the Hidden Cloud Village as an example.

Why doesn't the Iwagakure Village fight the Kumogakure Village?
Because of the attribute restraint, Ohnoki knew very well that he would not get any good results in front of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Secondly, the Land of Thunder is poor.

The Fire Nation is so wealthy, and they have a weak Hokage, so it wouldn't be a big loss if they lost. If he were in their place, he would have attacked the Fire Nation just the same.

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then he had mixed feelings: "Kyohiko, do you think war can solve everything?"

"No, it would be foolish to regard war as a means of solving problems."

Jingyan shook his head.

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he was really worried that Kyouhiko would become someone like Orochimaru, keen on starting a war.

If that were the case, he would not know how to admonish or guide them.

Jing Yan said: "Using fists to solve problems is reckless behavior, but fists can make the other party sit down and talk to us properly."

"Seeking peace through war?"

Jiraiya was thoughtful.

"Yes, to seek peace through war."

Jingyan nodded.

Onoki can’t be let go.

even.

For this reason, they can ignore the Hidden Mist Village for now——

The chaos in the Hidden Mist Village and the conflicts between them and the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water are enough to cause them to consume themselves internally.

The later Hyuga clan and the Snow clan were both manifestations of the outbreak of conflicts.

In comparison, the Iwagakure Village, whose ninja scale cannot be underestimated, and Ōnoki are their biggest enemies at the moment.

After some analysis, the room fell silent.

Jiraiya scratched his head in annoyance.

He felt his scalp itching, as if he understood Jingyan's intention, but he was also grateful that he didn't really "understand".

Annoying!

Minato, Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi were still pondering over the various situations analyzed by Kyouhiko, and then Kakashi was the first to nod, convinced by Kyouhiko.

"I agree!"

He thought of his father.

If there really was a mastermind behind the incident, or if the person saved by Hatake Sakumo was still alive, would he forgive the other person?

will not!

Compromise and forgiveness only make people feel weak.

Seek peace through war.

This is the right path.

Minato Namikaze did not comment, but became more and more confused.

Jiraiya took a deep breath.

forget about it!
Stop thinking and everything becomes simple.

"So, you want to fight?"

"We are not going to fight, but to show our swords and let Ohnoki know that the current Konoha Village is not easy to mess with. If he wants to fight, we will make him suffer heavy losses. In this way, if he wants to expand and become stronger in the future, he will have to find another way out instead of always staring at us."

Jingyan answered.

Jiraiya thought about the battle situation in Sunagakure, and then heaved a sigh of relief with a relaxed look on his face.

Yes!

Such words and actions are definitely not Orochimaru's style.

Jingyan still has the same personality and ideas, nothing has changed, but his teacher has become stubborn and pedantic.

"Then fight!"

……

Kannabi Bridge.

The border was silent, yet there were hundreds of ninjas from both sides, and the number was even increasing day by day.

"Daishi, I heard that you fought against that team from Konoha?"

Huo Guang laughed, "Are they really that strong?"

Dashi glanced at him, then silently looked away, too lazy to pay any attention to him.

This guy thought they were exaggerating the other side's strength, so whatever he said was a waste of breath.

He huddled in a tree, looking quietly into the distance.

Dashi's pupils shrank and he immediately fired a flare.

Bang!
In the distance, the woods moved and a flock of startled birds flew into the sky.

Konoha attacks!
"Konoha wants to fight? Perfect."

Firelight sneered, "Dashi!"

Without him saying anything, the boulder had disappeared without a trace.

Ninja technique: camouflage!
The next moment, he arrived in front of the Kanmubi Bridge and waited quietly for the Konoha ninja to rush across the bridge.

This bridge is equally useful and dangerous to both sides.

After waiting for a while, detonating tags were thrown towards the middle of the woods, while kunai were also flying towards them from Konoha, some of which had detonating tags wrapped around their tails.

War is imminent!
On the bridge, Jiraiya personally led the charge. Seeing the explosive talismans flying towards him, he formed seals with his hands and his hair immediately flew like tentacles shooting out.

in a blink.

boom!
Explosions occurred in the air.

At the bridge head, a large rock quietly appeared.

Make a seal and strike out with your palm.

Earth Release·Split the Earth and Turn the Palm!

Dashi exerted all his strength, and the power of his Earth-Splitting Palm was so great that it instantly caused the entire bridge head to collapse into pieces.

Below, the Iwagakure ninja emerged from the rock wall.

Special spiders crawled under the bridge.

They are the demolition team of the Iwagakure Village.

boom!
There was a loud bang.

The bridge...collapsed!
"Rush over!"

Akimichi Doto yelled.

Immediately afterwards, his hands became extremely huge and chakra burst out towards the shore.

but.

Just then, Jiraiya yelled, "Watch out for the new bridge under your feet!"

"what?"

New bridge?

Where does the new bridge come from?
Everyone was surprised to see that behind them, wood was growing rapidly from the rocks like arms. In the blink of an eye, they grew from the direction of the Grass Kingdom to their side.

The young ninja who looked like Yamato pressed his hands on the ground with seals.

Under his manipulation, the trees quickly grew to the other side, forming a new bridge.

“Wood Release?!!”

Not to mention the Iwagakure ninjas, even the ninjas of Konoha were shocked, but they soon realized -

Now is not the time to be shocked.

Akimichi Doto partially canceled his multiplication technique as he had been attacked by the Iwagakure ninja and had some wounds.

"Tangdong, don't mess around."

Inuzuka Jaw stopped him.

Then he looked forward.

"I'll go first, and you can..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an astonishing burst of chakra erupting from the other side.

That is?

They looked over there as they ran.

All I saw was a figure like golden light appearing everywhere, and one person would die the moment it appeared.

Minato Namikaze takes action!
Simultaneously.

A tall wall of water emerged.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
"Rush over!"

Jiraiya yelled.

The next moment, he teleported directly and reached the other side along the bridge created by Wood Release.

Then, he saw Kyouhiko and Kurenai Yuhi working together with Minato Namikaze to hunt down the surrounding Iwagakure ninjas.

What a great speed!

But Sunset Red...

Although she couldn't keep up with the others in speed, her assessment of the situation and use of illusions were very accurate, and she was always able to provide cover for Kakashi and Kyohiko.

"Sure enough, compared to Gai, Jingyan and Kakashi still need a ninja who can cover them more."

Jiraiya thought to himself.

Then he looked to the side.

"Kakashi, you can cancel the water barrier now."

"But--"

Kakashi looked behind him.

Jiraiya raised his lips slightly: "It doesn't matter, I'll take care of everything now."

"Yes!"

Kakashi untied his hands.

The next moment, he drew his sword and rushed towards the enemy.

the other side--

"Jingyan, there are too many! Too many people!"

Yuhi Kurenai breathed softly.

For the first time, she felt that using illusion could be so tiring.

"You cover the teacher first."

Jingyan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

Jiraiya is rushing over, and Kurenai Yuhi can retreat over there to cover Jiraiya and take a rest at the same time.

And he...

In front, two people were coming towards him in a group.

No.

To be exact, three people!
Thunder escape chakra mode!
Jingyan's speed suddenly increased, and he rushed forward like lightning.

Huoguang raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

speed?

He spread out his sleeves and two hidden blades popped out quietly.

The next moment, the flaming figure moved to the side and slashed forward with a sword.

This speed should...

As he was thinking, he suddenly saw a thunder-like light blooming before his eyes.

The firelight made it clear.

This is a knife.

A sword wrapped in lightning and thunder!

He didn't have time to think, he just felt dizzy and then he lost consciousness.

"Fire!"

At the edge of the fire, a Iwagakure jonin was terrified and immediately formed seals with his hands and slapped the ground.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
However, the rising rocks failed to stop the opponent.

One punch.

This time, Jingyan did not focus his chakra at all.

The lightning chakra was released in all directions along with the strange power, and the earth wall collapsed.

boom!
Jingyan suddenly sped up.

When he was about to hit the opponent, more than a dozen kunai flew towards him, each of which carried an explosive tag, and the Iwagakure ninja in front of him turned into mud and fell down.

Earth clone.

Jingyan glanced at him from the corner of his eye and jerked his elbow back.

A strange burst of power.

The chakra burst out from the elbow and attacked behind him in an instant.

Dashi was caught off guard and was hit immediately, vomiting blood from his mouth, and at the same time -

A knife came rushing from behind him.

laugh!
The blade passed the neck.

At the same time, Jingyan formed seals with his hands, creating a whirlpool of water that sent the detonating talisman and kunai flying.

"Are you okay?"

Kakashi rushed over.

"kill."

Jing Yan's voice was short, and the next moment -

The water flow converges.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet!
Kakashi immediately formed a seal and came over instantly.

Lightning Release: Ground Walking.

The combination of Lightning and Water Styles rushed forward under Jing Yan's control.

Hundreds of ninjas fought, many ninjutsu were intertwined, and chaos was everywhere around the Kannabi Bridge.

On the other side, the ninjas from Kusagakure Village hesitated whether to go up.

Don't go up...

I'm afraid Konoha will misunderstand me.

If he did, he would also be afraid of misunderstanding from Konoha, and the Iwagakure people were not easy to deal with either.

They are hesitating.

"Guard the border and don't let the Iwagakure ninja come over."

Wuwei arrived in person.

He looked at the other side and saw that the ninjas from Konoha and Iwagakure were fighting very fiercely, but judging from the battle situation, Konoha was obviously much stronger.

in particular--

Namikaze Minato, Ryomine Kyohiko.

Jiraiya basically did not take any action. He was more focused on protecting the main force and staying in the rear. Relying only on those two young men, he actually defeated the Iwagakure ninjas step by step.

Are they the four ninjas from that night?

The strength seems to have become stronger again.

Unbelievable!

Wuwei was shocked and became more determined.

The mere Kusagakure Village has no qualifications to participate in such a ninja village war!
but.

He is definitely more on Konoha's side.

Wuwei glanced around and then noticed the "Yamato" and the "wooden bridge" between the two sides.

Wood escape?

This!
How can it be?

Konoha has another ninja who masters Wood Release?
Wu Wei's pupils shrank, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Little brother of Konoha, do you need our Kusagakure to join us?"

"no need?"

"Yamato" hesitated and wavered.

Wu Wei said: "Then let me go alone, and the rest of the Grass Ninjas will guard the border."

After he finished speaking, he ran towards the wooden bridge.

With Wuwei joining, the defeat of the Iwagakure Village was even faster.

Although there are many Jonins in Iwagakure Village, their opponents are too luxurious.

Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Wuwei, and Kyohiko, which one of these four is not a strong man beyond ordinary jonin?
In a flash, the Rock Ninjas were defeated and retreated from the Kanmubi Bridge all the way into the territory of the Land of the Earth for ten miles.

At this time, Ohnoki finally flew over.

He looked at the battle below and became furious. He immediately landed on the ground, formed a seal, and with a clap of his hands, a huge rock monster rose from the ground.
