Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 505 Intimate Contact

"Zhihui, even if you capture Xiaonan, or even kill her, the world won't change at all."

"This will only breed new hatred, and as ninjas, we must fight against this hatred."

"Only through mutual understanding can true peace be achieved."

This was also Jiraiya's true thought; he hoped that Konan could persuade Nagato, who had gone astray, in his place.

As a teacher, he needs to set an example.

"This…"

Shiki was clearly no match for Jiraiya's persuasive talk.

Standing frozen in place, unsure whether to move forward or backward, she couldn't help but turn to look at Toshiro behind her.

"Enough, Zhihui!"

Toshiro knew that Jiraiya was talking to him, but he didn't want to get into a verbal fight with him.

Although Jiraiya did not possess the same level of power as Naruto in the original story, he did not intend to discuss this issue with him.

How could such a thing possibly be clearly explained?

"Since he has already made his decision, there is no need for him to say anything more."

Xiao Nan is not important. Although her origami skills are good, they do not have much impact on the overall situation in the future.

Since Jiraiya wanted to save her, letting her go wasn't out of the question.

but…

Since there is one less prisoner in Konoha prison, it is necessary to make up the number.

"No need to chase the criminal, just keep watch on the perimeter!"

After fiddling with the flame fan in his hand, Toshiro looked at Jiraiya opposite him.

"I'll give you time to prepare Sage Mode."

"But if you can't satisfy me, you really will die!"

Although this guy probably can't really enjoy himself either.

But surely he wouldn't just use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the First Hokage for practice, would he?

After a long time, the once lush forest was now a scene of devastation, with scorched earth and fallen trees scattered across the cratered ground.

"I never expected the Uchiha clan to produce such a person. It's truly... terrifying."

Wearing a gray cloak, with green skin like a toad and a white rooster's comb on his head, he let out a long breath and said with some emotion.

"Jiraiya, these old bones of mine can't take this much strain!"

This time, being summoned by Jiraiya to fight the Fifth Hokage was the most difficult battle it had experienced in many years.

It hadn't been long, and he was already feeling powerless. If they fought a few more rounds, who knew what would happen?

"Honey, don't try to boost their spirits. What Uchiha clan, Sharingan? They're no match for our genjutsu."

Fukasaku's words immediately aroused Shima's dissatisfaction.

So what if they're Uchiha? Even if they're caught in their trap, the old man's genjutsu means they're still at the mercy of others.

"In short, we are very grateful for your help this time, otherwise we would have been in real trouble."

Seeing that the old couple was about to start arguing again, Jiraiya quickly interrupted them.

Otherwise, it will never end.

Where are they?

After offering a word of advice, Jiraiya turned to look in the direction of Toshiro in the arena.

Toshiro, who should have been under the illusion and lost control of his form, has vanished without a trace.

He exclaimed in surprise.

"You guys seem to be getting ahead of yourselves!"

Just as Jiraiya spoke, Toshiro appeared.

And they had already quietly crept up behind Jiraiya.

"Oh no!"

Upon hearing Toshiro's voice, Jiraiya knew something was wrong.

However, the other party had already reached him, and it was too late to react.

puff!

Just because Jiraiya couldn't react doesn't mean that others couldn't react either.

The sage Fukasaku, who was still panting, turned around, without forming any hand seals, but simply put his hands together and spat out a straight, high-pressure water blade, slashing down diagonally.

"Cultivating immortal techniques is indeed quite different."

With his Sharingan eyes swirling, Toshiro began to observe the other's methods of manipulating natural energy.

Although he successfully mastered immortal techniques, he had always explored them alone, which inevitably led to some biases.

This is a perfect opportunity to get a closer look at the Toad Sage Technique of Mount Myōboku.

boom!

Flame Fan flicked lightly, revealing a blue chakra barrier on its surface.

While blocking the opponent's attack, it also absorbed it and transformed it into a storm, which Toshiro blasted directly at Jiraiya.

At such close range, the opponent naturally couldn't avoid it and was sent flying by Toshiro's fan.

"Boss!"

The moment his feet left the ground, Jiraiya knew something was wrong and quickly shouted.

"Okay~"

"Immortal Technique: Wind Escape: Sandstorm"

The purple-skinned Shima the Hermit also clasped his hands together and spat out a sandstorm that enveloped an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

They reduced visibility within the dust storm area to a minimum, making it impossible to see anything, in an attempt to conceal Jiraiya's whereabouts.

"If the sage techniques of Mount Myōboku are limited to such trivial skills, then this is truly disappointing."

Before Jiraiya, Fukasaku on his shoulder, and Shima could breathe a sigh of relief, Toshiro's voice rang in their ears again.

"This is troublesome!"

It was pitch black all around, and Jiraiya couldn't see Toshiro at all, so he could only cover himself with his hair.

This was to defend against Toshiro's attack.

Bang!

A muffled thud came from the sandstorm.

Then we saw that the earth seemed to have been hit by a small meteorite, and after a deafening roar, it began to crack open.

"How long are you going to stay underground?"

He gently waved the round fan in his hand, dispersing the surrounding sand and dust, leaving only a large pit with a diameter of forty or fifty meters.

"Do I have to ask you to come out?"

When in Sage Mode, one's defense and resilience become abnormally high.

If the opponent's defense is added, the effect will be less than satisfactory, at most making Jiraiya a little uncomfortable.

With a splashing sound, Jiraiya's figure emerged from the bottom of the pit, brushing aside the rubble and dirt covering him.

Although he was covered in a mess, it was clear that he was not seriously injured.

"Even the toad's song couldn't be used. The Mangekyou Sharingan truly lives up to its name."

Looking at the lines in Toshiro's eyes, Fukasaku murmured something.

"Jiraiya, if it's possible, let's make peace!"

"I don't think there's any killing intent in Naruto."

After dusting himself off, Fukasaku began to persuade Jiraiya.

It's already this old; if it continues to fight Toshiro, it'll really fall apart.

Not only it, but even Shima, who usually refutes Fukasaku, remained silent this time, clearly not wanting to continue the fight.

"To be honest, if I could, I wouldn't want to fight the Hokage either."

Looking at Toshiro across from him, who still showed no sign of stopping, Jiraiya gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He had no desire to fight the Hokage.

Even summoning the two immortals was only out of sheer desperation when Toshiro forced him to do so, leaving him no other choice but to summon them to assist in the battle.

Otherwise, he would probably have been destroyed by the Hokage on the other side by now.

"Since that's the case..."

Fukasaku the Sage wanted to say something more, but his body was clearly more impatient than his mouth, and he punched Jiraiya in the right cheek.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

Ignoring Jiraiya's dizzy eyes, Shima looked at her husband standing on Jiraiya's right shoulder with disbelief.

Then, as if he had just remembered something, he quickly put his hands together in prayer position.

"Illusion - Release!"

"What happened? Why is Jiraiya's face swollen?"

After a moment of confusion, Fukasaku returned to normal and looked at the bewildered Jiraiya, somewhat puzzled.

Jiraiya's right cheek, in particular, swelled up and quickly turned red and then bluish.

"Old man, you've just been under an illusion!"

As he was speaking, Shima-sensei suddenly extended his long tongue, which resembled an octopus tentacle, and lashed out at the old man opposite him with a powerful blow.

Seeing that Fukasaku had dodged the attack, it continued to move its long tongue, launching another attack on Fukasaku the Hermit with a swirling motion.

"Damn it, it's an Uchiha genjutsu!"

"Jiraiya, watch yourself!"

Upon seeing this situation, Shen Zuo, like a toad, immediately understood what was going on.

While mimicking Shima's actions, he dispelled the illusion, and at the same time reminded Jiraiya to be careful.

"Being careful is useful; then there won't be any need for surprise attacks."

With a sneer, Toshiro ignored Fukasaku, who was breaking the illusion, and Jiraiya, who was completely disoriented.

He took a step forward with his right foot and appeared next to Jiraiya.

He feinted with his right arm and then delivered a whip kick towards Jiraiya's right side of the head.

Didn't you want to break the illusion?

I'm giving you this opportunity, but daring to look directly into your own kaleidoscope always comes at a price.

Although he hadn't noticed any wrongdoing from these toads of Mount Myōboku, they were just toads, yet they acted like sages all the time, which annoyed him greatly.

This is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson.

Facing Toshiro's attack, Jiraiya didn't stand idly by either. He raised his left arm, intending to block the attack for Fukasaku.

Why did I raise my left arm?

As soon as he assumed a defensive stance, a sense of unease arose in Jiraiya's heart.

Wasn't Fukasaku the hermit on his right shoulder? He himself…

"Be careful!"

Jiraiya, regaining his senses, only managed to offer a warning before watching helplessly as a green toad made intimate contact with his face…

"Old man, what are you and Jiraiya doing?"

Fukasaku the Hermit was still very quick.

Although he was kicked quite hard by Toshiro, he still managed to help Shima break the illusion.

However, as soon as Shima broke the illusion, what greeted its eyes was a rather shocking scene.

Bang!

In a fit of shock and rage, Shima instinctively punched Jiraiya in the other cheek.

"What...just...did I just go through?"

Jiraiya, who was once again knocked dizzy by a punch, felt uneasy thinking about the terrifying scene he had just witnessed.

Although he was known as a playboy, he was still a virgin, pure as could be...
