One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi angrily looked at Danzo Shimura and repeatedly warned him not to make any trouble. Jiraiya, seeing that the other party who had provoked the incident had only given a verbal warning, was disheartened.

Jiraiya closed his eyes, bit his finger, and then the Toad Master and his wife appeared, each sitting on his shoulders.

"Little Jiraiya, have you made up your mind?"

"Okay, I'm counting on you two!"

"Your wife and I will do everything we can to help you!"

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi solemnly raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang and questioned him.

"Jiraiya, are you serious?!"

"Old man, hand Naruto over to me, or I won't show any mercy!"

Suppressing his joy, Shimura Danzo immediately turned and ordered the Root members to retreat several miles. After all, familiar with his best friend's fighting style, Shimura Danzo knew that this distance was not safe!

Jiraiya clasped his hands together and kept talking to buy time, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, though he saw through his disciple's intentions, did not interrupt him but sat on a broken rock and waited quietly.

Danzo Shimura took a deep breath, preparing to launch a sneak attack with his Wind Release technique, when Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed his Ruyi Jingu Bang against his throat and hissed in a low voice.

"This is a battle between my disciple and me; no one is allowed to interfere!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at the white-haired Anbu behind him.

"Kakashi, you and the rest of the squad are responsible for guard duty. If anyone interferes without authorization..."

"kill!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, then added another sentence.

"No matter who it is, or what their status is in Konoha!"

Kakashi nodded, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Shimura Danzo. Upon seeing this, Danzo immediately glared at him, his expression seemingly saying something.

"Hiruzen, in the end, I have misplaced my trust..."

Kakashi led his ANBU squad to block all the Root members and Shimura ninjas on the battlefield, then took out various weapons and stood guard.

Shortly after all the irrelevant personnel left, an astonishing surge of chakra erupted into the sky, leaving the Konoha ninjas watching from the sidelines bewildered.

"What a terrifying chakra!"

"So this is Jiraiya-sama's Sage Mode!"

"Even the Hokage would have a hard time dealing with this level of chakra!"

All that could be heard were the continuous explosions and the roars of the master and apprentice. Shimura Danzo, who was watching the battle, suddenly slapped his knee hard.

"hateful……"

"Hiruzen, you and your master should fight outside! What kind of nonsense is this, fighting on my clan's territory?!"

"Fine, after the battle is over, I will personally go and demand compensation!"

In the Shimura clan's territory, under a collapsed pillar, a humanoid creature with gray and black skin poked its head out, staring at the battlefield and occasionally offering comments.

"Hey, did you see that? Konoha's tradition is to kill one's master. This time you lost 500 White Zetsu to me. Remember to send them to the Black Hope Factory in Takigakure."

Black Zetsu looked at Jiraiya, whose hair was mostly burned off, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Big brother could take on a Hokage like that!"

"Hey, how can you talk like that, Kuro? Although he can indeed take on this many enemies, Hiruzen Sarutobi's destructive power on the battlefield is still second only to me and certain monsters!"

On the battlefield, two toads kept sticking out their long tongues to assist Jiraiya's attacks, while Hiruzen Sarutobi always managed to jump away when he was closest to him. His Ruyi Langjun sword would sometimes grow longer and sometimes closer, and his unpredictable fighting style made Jiraiya feel a bit uncomfortable!

The two humans and two frogs fought fiercely, but in the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi ran out of energy and revealed an opening.

The moment the shadow clone was struck by the fire-style ninjutsu, Jiraiya instantly emerged from the ground, and the toad sage and his wife immediately opened their mouths wide, emitting an unbearable croaking sound.

"Magic? The toad sings!"

While Hiruzen Sarutobi was trapped, Jiraiya did not use the stone sword unique to Mount Myōboku, but instead flicked his white hair.

Taking advantage of the situation, he tied Hiruzen Sarutobi up, then leaned forward and slapped him on the abdomen, leaving a tadpole-shaped mark.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped out of his reverie amidst the toad's song, he realized that he could no longer use chakra, so he stopped struggling and sighed.

"I never expected that the little guy who couldn't even throw a shuriken accurately back then would have grown to this level!"

"Fine, Naruto, I'll bring him from Root!"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Jiraiya emerge from Sage Mode and begin to pant slightly, a flicker of impulse crossed his mind.

"Jiraiya, Naruto is in your hands now. Don't go out this time. You'll take the Hokage position!"

"Ah, old man, you should understand, I have no interest in that position, and besides..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and pointed in the direction the crowd had retreated.

"Become Hokage, Jiraiya! That way you can better protect Naruto!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya froze and immediately fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Kusanagi immediately lost his composure. If Jiraiya really took over, how could he still crave Konoha...?

Fortunately, the wind blades rushing in the distance put Kusa Shizuka at ease. She saw Shimura Danzo leading a group of Root ninjas forward, his face full of anger.

"Hiruzen, you actually want to abdicate? I will never allow it!"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was wondering why his best friend knew the situation, he suddenly noticed Ryoma Aburame, who was guarding Danzo Shimura, and immediately understood.

"Using parasitic insects to gather intelligence, huh? Root really has a wealth of talent..."

Jiraiya frowned slightly as he looked at the uninvited Shimura Danzo. Behind them, a group of Anbu members were being held back by Shimura's ninjas who had suddenly launched a sneak attack.

Kakashi, wielding a katana, casually fished while engaging in a "fierce" battle with Shimura, a ninja of considerable Chunin strength.

While the other secret agents employed a variety of methods, the sheer number of them made it difficult to eliminate them all, and it would take time.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was questioning Danzo Shimura, Jiraiya suddenly stretched out his white hair and blocked the kunai that was shot at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Danzo, keep an eye on your subordinates!"

Danzo Shimura turned around and spat out several wind blades from his mouth.

"The Hokage position must be mine!"
