Invincible in the world, starting with the ghost curse

Jiraiya, who was fleeing in a panic, moved around in the Four Purple Flame Formation. The increased physical fitness and perception brought by the Sage Mode could help him avoid the most deadly high temperature.

Of course, attacks over such a large area cannot be solved by simply dodging. The golden flames burned the sky, the lakes dried up, and the cracked loess lakebed was exposed. A large number of fish had turned into white bones, which was shameful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands, his eyes stern, and shouted: "Earth Style: Rock Wall, Water Style: Water Barrier."

The ground exploded, and a giant ochre-colored hand enveloped Jiraiya and himself, and quickly wrapped them into a spherical shape. The roaring golden flames crashed into the shore like a tsunami, and the whistling wind was noisy.

The ochre-colored soil sphere was sparkling with bright light. Under the high-temperature baking, the sand was actually turned into crystals and continued to melt. In the internal area, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to maintain the flow of water escape, forming a three-layer structure of soil, water and soil, greatly improving the isolation ability.

"Asuma and the others are still outside."

Jiraiya hesitated to speak, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were sharp: "The other party has ulterior motives. They are actually the safest as prisoners. Let's take care of ourselves now."

Fortunately, Might Guy and others were taken away by Seiichi Kamiya. As captives, standing behind Seiichi Kamiya at least they would not be burned by his fire escape, although the temperature would definitely affect them.

The sweaty senior ninjas were awakened by the heat. They looked at each other and felt sad in their hearts. Almost all of Konoha's combat forces were captured, and they couldn't even find Naruto's shadow.

Speaking of which, where is Uzumaki Naruto?

Asuma noticed this strange thing. They were fighting fiercely with the man who called himself the God of Fire, but they ignored the fact that their fundamental purpose was to bring Naruto back.

His eyes looked at various places inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, and finally he found Naruto's figure in a corner. The other party was looking at the battlefield with an expressionless face. Sensing Asuma's gaze, he turned his head and glanced at him.

"Uzumaki Naruto... Damn it!"

Crack! A crisp tearing sound rang out from the barrier of the Four Purple Flame Formation. This formation was already nearing its limit under the extremely high temperature. The faces of the Sealing Squad and the ninjas who had retreated earlier changed drastically. If this energy came out, they would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"Jiraiya, I intend to die together with him."

Inside the closed loess barrier, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke calmly with his eyes narrowed. Jiraiya was slightly stunned and fell silent. The Konohagakure was beaten like this by one person and even the Hokage had to be sacrificed.

"If you have already made up your mind, teacher."

"I'm only worried about one thing right now, and that's Konoha's future... Jiraiya, you're the most suitable candidate for Hokage. Regardless of whether we win this war or not, I want to step down from the Hokage role. I'm too old..."

A beautiful image flashed through Jiraiya's mind. He hesitated for two seconds, then nodded heavily under Sarutobi Hiruzen's earnest gaze and said, "But if we can survive, I will bring back the most suitable candidate for Hokage."

There are many reasons why Jiraiya made this judgment. The simplest and clearest one is that Seiichi Kamiya did not kill him. Maybe it was because of Naruto's face, or maybe for other reasons, but this also means room for maneuver.

Click!

The Four Purple Flame Formation that reached into the sky was shattered with a loud bang, and the boundless flames were like a collapsed dam, swooping down to the vast world. The surrounding trees and forests were set on fire, and billowing black smoke rose into clouds, filling the sky.

The surrounding ninjas fled in panic, their mouths dry, their throats sore, and the air they breathed was scorching hot, with a strong burning sensation.

"Jiraiya, it's time to go!"

With a loud roar, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the monkey demon, and the towering earth walls around him shattered. Huge rocks and water splashed to the ground, causing rolling waves of dust.
