I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"boom!"

But just then, a muffled sound accompanied by white mist rose from the center of the battlefield.

"Oh my, oh my, isn't this Lord Raikage!"

"You're getting angry with a bunch of juniors again, and you even want to slaughter my Konoha ninjas. It seems that your temper hasn't improved at all over the years. You're still as stubborn and arrogant as ever."

As the white mist gradually dissipated, what first came into view was not a human, but a giant toad carrying a knife!

The speaker stood firmly on it, and although he seemed somewhat unrestrained on the surface, the anger in his voice was clearly palpable.

"I've heard that the Uchiha clan suffered a great calamity, but it seems that they have a successor."

A sound of admiration followed, emanating from the giant toad with the pipe in its mouth.

"This, this is........."

Incredulous gasps were already heard from those around them.

"Lord Jiraiya!!"

Chapter 219 Gamamaru's Prophecy, Yagura's Promise

【Jiraiya-chan, ya.】

On this journey, you will encounter a terrifying young man whose eyes harbor immense power.

Your fate, the fate of Konoha, and even the fate of the entire ninja world will be inextricably linked to it.

Jiraiya shifted his gaze away from Uchiha Ara.

Those crimson Sharingan eyes, that vow to unleash endless carnage, and even Gamabunta's involuntary exclamation of admiration.

Perhaps he has already met the terrifying boy foretold by the 'Great Toad Sage'.

【Jiraiya-chan, ya.】

You probably don't want to know what I dreamed about.

The barrier of Mount Myōboku was brutally torn open, and the entire space was being crushed by the aura of another world. Standing beside the boy were countless terrifying beings that even I felt a chill run down my spine.

You must be very careful in your relationship with him.

However, even though Jiraiya had already shifted his gaze away from Ara, the words "Great Toad Sage," which sounded like something out of a fantasy novel, continued to resonate in his ears like a resounding bell.

He can cover up the changes and disasters brought about by the chosen one.

[It could also plunge the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Three Sacred Lands, and even the clan on the moon into a state of annihilation.]

【Go, Sa.】

Ultimately, the choice is yours.

However, whatever the choice, it's important to be moderate and let things take their natural course.

The future is full of uncertainties.

The sounds that lingered in my ears gradually faded away.

Jiraiya glanced around and his gaze finally settled on the main figure, the Fourth Raikage. At the same time, a muttered monologue, a mixture of mockery and dissatisfaction, echoed in his mind:

"Roar?"

"It seems that Lord Raikage really favors our Land of Fire. Not only did he come in person, but he also brought two Jinchuriki with him."

"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I went to the Land of Lightning to gather materials."

"I wonder if all the girls in Kumogakure are as dashing and spirited as you two young ladies."

He spoke very tactfully, even with a hint of cynicism.

But anyone with a discerning eye can hear the threat in it.

Going to Kumogakure is just a way to return the threat that the Raikage created today, isn't it?

Similarly, this also reveals that even Jiraiya himself lacked confidence in breaking the deadlock and could only resort to threats to open up the situation.

However, his warning was not like Nara Shikaku's previous empty words, but rather carried a real threat!

The Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.

These two titles alone are enough to prove that his strength is no less than that of a 'Shadow'!

"Humph."

"If all three legendary Sannin of Konoha were alive, I would have to think twice."

"Yes, but only one aspect."

Raikage A remained unmoved by the threat, his indifferent expression unchanged.

After all, there were three peak experts present!

With such a hand, and only Jiraiya arriving, how can we break through? How can we possibly break through?

"I was just thinking that Xi's burial goods were still not enough."

"Now, with Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, accompanying us, that's about enough!"

The Fourth Raikage continued, the lightning surrounding him growing increasingly turbulent, the leaping, dazzling lightning threatening to tear the entire space to shreds!

But just then!

Just as the brief stalemate reached an irreconcilable point, with both sides on the verge of exchanging blows, a clear, soft voice quietly cut in:

"Hey, things are getting more and more interesting."

"Then let's see just how well the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure have integrated themselves."

It's the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi!

At this moment, all the Kirigakure ninjas except for Mei Terumi had retreated.

The arrival of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, also provided a reason for his demise.

Of course, the most important point is that Konoha cannot afford to suffer such a huge loss!

This was not because he felt sorry for his old neighbor with whom he had fought for decades, but because he was genuinely considering his own situation and the situation of Kirigakure!

If the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were still alive, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki could have achieved perfect fusion, and the entire Hidden Mist Village had not suffered the ravages of civil war, he naturally wouldn't have had the leisure to concern himself with this matter.

The fiercer the fight between Konoha and Kumogakure, the better!

But now, the only combat power left in the entire village that can be considered is himself and Mei Terumi.

Given these prerequisites, if Konoha were crippled today...

In the future, the power balance among the three major forces of water, lightning, and fire in the entire eastern region will be severely disrupted, and the dominant position of Cloud Village will be unshakeable!

Therefore, Konoha cannot afford to suffer too much loss right now, at least not until Kirigakure has fully recovered and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have been recalled and reorganized!

After all, Konoha is surrounded by Sunagakure and Iwagakure as neighbors that keep it in check, while Kumogakure occupies a corner of the world with no one able to hinder its development.

If he could cause Kumogakure to lose one or two more Jinchuriki today, that would be the result he wanted to see!

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage suddenly frowned.

He had long suspected that the Fourth Mizukage's reluctance to retreat might be for ulterior motives, but he never expected that the other party would actually be here and would come down to intercept him at this moment!

However, Jiraiya did not feel joy or relief at Yagura's declaration.

He knew perfectly well that none of the leaders of these powerful forces were easy to deal with.

At this moment, they are simply trying to take this opportunity to maximize their own interests.

Of course, it would be best if the negotiations between Kirigakure and Kumogakure broke down, which would be the outcome he would most like to see.

"Lord Mizukage, do you truly wish to be my enemy?"

"Your men shouldn't have gone too far; they'll catch up in no time."

The Fourth Raikage was not a good talker.

Knowing the principle of retreating step by step, Ai did not choose to compromise immediately.

In response to this, Yagura Karatachi did not show any extreme reaction. Instead, he calmly replied:

"If we can exchange their lives for the life of a Jinchuriki from Kumogakure, that would be something to be proud of!"

"After I pass away, I will have their names engraved on the memorial stone, so that their families and their descendants can feel proud and have the greatest glory!"

Yagura, without changing his expression, uttered the cruelest and most inhuman words.

Coupled with his innocent-looking baby face, it instantly gave people a chill down their spines.

It truly lives up to its name, Blood Mist!

And this is not some baseless threat.

If the Hidden Cloud Village were to send out even one of its strongest fighters to hunt down the Hidden Mist Village ninja who had already fled, the entire situation would be rewritten!

After all, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio of Konoha, as well as Inuzuka, Hyuga, and Aburame, were not ordinary people who would be easily slaughtered.

That will be the calamity of the Hidden Clouds!

"Of course, I hope Lord Raikage will not misunderstand."

"The Hidden Mist Village has no intention of joining forces with the Hidden Leaf Village to target the Hidden Cloud Village. It's just because I owe Uchiha Ara a favor."

The Fourth Mizukage continued calmly.

After breaking free from the illusion, he gradually regained his senses and skillfully maneuvered between the two top ninja villages.

Upon hearing this, a slight ripple appeared in Huang's eyes.

Of course, he didn't become arrogant and sabotage things at this time, or say anything like "don't expect the other party to repay the favor."

At this moment, silently accepting such an 'unintentional gift' is all that is needed.

"Enough! Stop pretending to be high and mighty!"

"Speak, what does Kirigakure want!"

Ai was disdainful and angry.

However, they also clearly understood that without a substantial statement, this matter would not be resolved.
