Faced with such a direct attack, Jiraiya's waist-length silver hair instantly grew wildly, completely enveloping him. Each strand of hair that stood up and emitted a cold metallic glint was his unique absolute defense!
Faced with the berserk Raikage, he, as a Konoha ninja, certainly wouldn't back down!
His mission was to hold back the Fourth Raikage so that his comrades from Konoha could escape this area.
Regardless of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy,
Regardless of the details of the whole incident,
As long as the flame in his heart remains burning, he will not allow anyone to wreak havoc within the Land of Fire!
Even if that old man isn't here,
Even the viper and Tsunade, who once fought alongside him, are no longer here.
At least I'm still here!
Let him protect this flame of Konoha!
"Keng."
The collision of fist and hair produced a piercing metallic sound!
Under the immense force, Jiraiya was forced to retreat step by step, leaving deep marks on his feet, but he still showed no intention of escaping.
"You can't beat me in your current state!!"
Lei Ying Ai roared angrily.
Even though his fist, which was impenetrable to swords and blades, was bleeding, he still did not stop for a moment.
Because he knew perfectly well that if he wanted to help his subordinates who had come with him, the only way was to blast this bastard in front of him away.
Otherwise, the entire battle situation still cannot be changed.
At the same time, when Ai made this decision, he was already prepared to sacrifice his three subordinates, including Darui!
"Hey, you're not good enough yet either."
"As the son of the Third Raikage, he is far from having the demeanor of his predecessor, A. In fact, he is even inferior to Tsunade in terms of strength."
"Originally, I wanted to draw inspiration from the Third Raikage for the strongest villain I would create in my next novel. But now it seems that those events are just empty boasts from the Hidden Cloud Village to glorify themselves."
Blood trickled from the corner of Jiraiya's mouth, but his face showed no sign of twisting or defeat.
At the same time, Yu Zhi also came to a conclusion: if he really wanted to confront such a top-level expert head-on, his current physical condition was not enough; he would need to enter Immortal Mode to have the strength to confront him directly.
However, he is not yet able to enter Sage Mode on his own; he needs to borrow the power of the two toad sages from Mount Myōboku to do so.
However, the Fourth Raikage would certainly not grant him this buffer period.
However, just as the stalemate was at hand, a sharp wave of air suddenly descended from the sky!
A massive short sword, gleaming with a chilling light, slashed fiercely at the Fourth Raikage, who was in an offensive position.
This is,
[Toad Dagger Slash!]
Faced with an attack that nearly cleaved the space itself, even the most savage Raikage wouldn't choose to meet it head-on with his body; he immediately withdrew his power and retreated.
"boom."
With a loud bang, the gleaming short blade blasted a hideous 'scar' into the ground.
"Thanks."
Jiraiya's words were concise, giving him a brief respite.
"This really isn't like you, Jiraiya."
"However, if the opponent is the Fourth Raikage, then it's a different story."
Gamabunta's voice, as he sheathed his short sword, was also filled with a sense of unease.
"Well, perhaps it's time to use that move."
Jiraiya didn't refute, and his raised finger was bitten as it brushed against his teeth:
[Spiritual Communication Techniques...]
As white smoke rose, two more giant toads appeared in sight. One of them was purplish-red, with a white shield on its back and a harpoon covered in thorns in its hand, looking rather gloomy. The other was emerald green, with two specially made large swords on its back, its front paws wrapped around its chest, looking very proud.
"Hey, isn't that the Fourth Raikage?"
"Oh, not only the Raikage, but also Gyuki, Matatabi, and Isobu are here. Could this mean the Fourth Shinobi World War is about to break out?"
The giant, emerald-green toad landed and immediately surveyed the surrounding situation.
"Jiraiya, you've gathered the three of us brothers together, just to deal with such a tricky situation?"
Despite the fact that the enemies around it were all at the pinnacle of the ninja world, it did not show much panic. Its arrogance remained unchanged, and its two front paws, which were wrapped around its chest, were already eagerly gripping the two large swords behind it!
After all, those three brothers were the Three Musketeers of Mount Myōboku!
"Although it's not as dramatic as the Fourth Shinobi World War, it's still a very troublesome matter."
"Hiro, Ken, I'm sorry to have summoned you both."
"However, please give me some time."
Jiraiya growled in a low voice, and his blood-stained fingers immediately drew special patterns on the corners of his eyes.
Then, he suddenly clasped his hands together—a prelude to activating Sage Mode!
"Okay, although I'm rather useless, I'll do my best if my strength is needed."
Hama Ken removed the giant shield from his back, and his dejected gaze became resolute and heavy.
His two brothers beside him immediately drew their blades and rushed forward to meet him.
For these two warmongers from Mount Myōboku, the Raikage was a unique and welcome addition to their peaceful lives!
Meanwhile, Uchiha Rinka carefully traversed the area of conflict and appeared beside Ara.
"Chief, here you go!"
He removed the sword from his back and respectfully handed it to his clan leader.
Before heading to the eastern border, each of them carried a standard-issue sword, not only for their own use in battle, but also as a backup arsenal for their clan leader.
As for the remaining young Uchiha clan members and Naoki, who was relatively seriously injured, they followed Shin'en and the Konoha ninjas in an orderly retreat.
"Ah."
Huang delivered a powerful chop to Xi's nape; this guy wasn't going to die yet.
At least, I can't die until this incident is completely over!
"Take him away."
As a cloud of white mist rose, a giant eagle suddenly appeared in the area.
"Yes, Mr. Patriarch!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Huo immediately picked up Xi and placed him on the giant eagle's back.
"you wanna die!!"
Not far away, Ai, who was being attacked by the three toad brothers, obviously noticed this as well. A furious roar exploded in an instant, and surging thunder swept across the entire area at that moment.
However, Gamaken's shield was like the most solid barrier, firmly resisting the Raikage's ferocious fist. Even as the shield in his claws twisted and deformed, it showed no sign of yielding.
In that brief moment, the giant eagle spread its wings and took flight, carrying Uchiha Rinka and the Cloud Village prisoner, Shi Dunli.
The Raikage could only watch all this with a ferocious expression, after all, he couldn't fly.
"I want you all to die!!"
A violent thunder roared across the entire area at this moment, and dazzling lightning snakes spread wildly beneath its feet, their short, pale yellow hair standing on end, exuding an invincible aura.
[Lightning Release: The Strongest Armor!!]
Even Yagura Karatachi, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, couldn't help but feel a chill at that moment.
The power that Ai unleashed was no weaker than, and even surpassed, the power of a perfect Jinchūriki!
Similarly, this also strengthened their belief in trying to stop the development momentum of Kumogakure. Even if it made Konohagakure's title as the number one village more secure, it would not allow Kumogakure, which was neighboring Kirigakure, to continue to grow stronger.
Otherwise, Mist Shadow will have no future.
"Dong dong dong."
Like a flash of lightning, the three giant toad brothers were fiercely knocked back by Ai, raising a cloud of dust. Even the giant shield in the toad's claws was smashed through by this violent fist!
The remaining violent energy exploded in the air.
"I'm sorry, Jiraiya, I'm really useless."
As he stumbled down beside the psychic, Gamaken spoke haltingly, his words filled with apology.
"No, that's enough, thank you."
"Now, leave it to me and the two esteemed immortals!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two small and relatively old toads suddenly appeared on Jiraiya's shoulders.
However, don't underestimate them because of this, for they are powerful beings on Mount Myōboku, second only to the Great Toad Sage in status!
"Kid, why are you summoning us in such a noisy place again?"
A slightly sharp sound.
It was the toad sage perched on Jiraiya's left shoulder. She wore a small brown cloak, and with her purple lips, she looked like a unique witch.
"And you three, how did you get into such a mess?"
"You're going to bring shame to Mount Myoboku."
At the same time, she also noticed the three toad brothers, who were covered in injuries, and her sharp words rang out again.
"Don't say that, honey. Jiraiya had his reasons. Bunta, Hiro, and Ken didn't encounter ordinary enemies, right?"
Another toad sage standing on the mountain to Jiraiya's right shoulder came to his rescue. He was also wearing a small brown cloak, with white eyebrows and a beard, and looked like a seasoned magician.
"Honestly, you're always protecting them, honey."
"He's just the Raikage. He doesn't seem as powerful as the previous one. Anyway, let's finish him off quickly so I can go back and continue cooking."
