I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Jiraiya took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down.

Although he seemed to be unharmed, he was actually quite exhausted.

It can be said that Kisame was completely stunned by Jiraiya's series of Sage Mode techniques.

As a result, Kisame's water-style techniques and massive chakra were completely useless.

"Little Jiraiya, just do it. The old man and I will definitely help you."

"Yes, that's right."

Fukasaku and Shima, the two sages, nodded together, and then began to calmly help Jiraiya accumulate the sage chakra he had just used in order to extend the duration of Sage Mode.

If we deactivate it now, it would be a waste of time to re-enter Sage Mode after catching up, and the enemy might find an opening.

Fortunately, although Jiraiya's Sage Mode training was not yet fully mastered, he had the help of two Sages, Fukasaku and Shima.

Isn't this a kind of good fortune?

"Heh, as expected of the Mad Demon Jiraiya, I underestimated you a bit. But are you sure you don't want to kill me now?" Kisame laughed while spitting blood. This time he really lost badly. The main reason was that he didn't expect Jiraiya to change so much before and after, especially those two toads. The pressure of the three-in-one combination was enormous.

And those strange 'ninjutsu' techniques—he really couldn't understand how they could possess such immense power.

"Don't provoke me. I won't kill you until I find Naruto. You can pray that your comrades will abandon the mission and choose to save you."

Jiraiya did not pull out the stone sword stuck in Kisame's chest. Instead, he picked Kisame up with one hand and quickly followed the direction Itachi had left in.

However, Kisame looked indifferent and said, "It's no use, you can't find Itachi."

Jiraiya ignored him, but ten minutes later, he stared at the mark he had seen earlier with a grim expression.

He knew he had been misled by the 'clues' Itachi had deliberately left behind.

So much so that after searching around, he ended up coming back.

Jiraiya, his face grim, lifted Kisame up. "Tell me, where is Itachi? He must have left a signal for you!"

"Come on, kill me, and you'll see. What are you waiting for? Do it!"

boom!

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"

Jiraiya angrily punched Kisame in the face.

But Kisame just kept laughing wildly and never paid any attention to what the other person was saying.

Did they intend to use him to threaten Itachi and reclaim the Jinchuriki?

This is impossible.

He would rather die than let Itachi be caught in a difficult dilemma because of him.

Jiraiya rained blows on Kisame, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death, but Kisame only laughed, and his smile grew increasingly mocking.

Left with no other choice, Jiraiya had to stop, and then, like a headless fly, he searched for a while longer.

The result was the same; nothing was found.

At this point, more than ten minutes had passed since Kisame and Itachi had agreed to meet.

Just as Jiraiya decided to use Kisame as a breakthrough to find Naruto again, the person he had been longing for showed up on his own.

And he was carrying the unconscious Naruto in his hand.

After witnessing Kisame's tragic state, Itachi's calm exterior seemed to conceal a turbulent storm brewing beneath.

The agreed time had passed, but Kisame had not come.

Itachi had no illusions and was certain that he had failed and been captured.

And they probably won't be killed.

Unless Jiraiya no longer wants to save Naruto, he definitely won't do that.

And so Itachi returned.

"Release Naruto, and I can hand him over to you. One for one."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

To be honest, he made the suggestion subconsciously and didn't expect the other party to agree.

However, reality is often just that incredible.

"That's fair, let's exchange."

Itachi spoke expressionlessly, then threw Naruto to the ground and walked straight toward Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, wondering what trick Itachi was up to.

Has he fallen under an illusion?

Turning to look at the hermit Fukasaku, who knew what he was thinking, Fukasaku immediately shook his head, indicating that he didn't.

Even if the opponent's illusion magic is powerful, it is impossible to hypnotize both frogs at the same time.

"We still need to be wary of scams."

Jiraiya placed Kisame on the ground as well, and then, like Itachi, slowly walked towards Naruto.

Until the two passed each other...

Nothing happened.

Jiraiya breathed a slight sigh of relief, then subconsciously quickened his pace, walked to Naruto's side, picked him up, and jumped away.

After a quick check, it was confirmed that it was indeed Naruto. He had been unconscious because he was first under a genjutsu and then knocked out by Itachi, and he was not seriously injured.

Jiraiya was relieved.

But as it turned out, he was too complacent.

"Looks like you got beaten up pretty badly."

"I was careless. I didn't expect Jiraiya to be so strong. But you shouldn't have handed over your Jinchuriki to him."

"It doesn't matter, we can just take it back."

"That's right. Be careful of those two toads on their shoulders. Their chakra is unusual, and their ninjutsu is incredibly powerful."

"I understand. You should treat yourself first."

After saying that, Itachi pulled the stone sword out of Kisame's chest.

More blood splattered out, and Kisame's expression turned even more grim.

However, without the stone sword's suppression, Samehada within Kisame's body began to transfer chakra to him, healing his injuries.

At the same time, a black crow suddenly popped out of Naruto's pocket, flapping its wings and flying towards Jiraiya's head.

Jiraiya glanced at it subconsciously, and then his eyes met those of the crow's blood-red eyes.

"Oh no, this is bad!"

Realizing he had fallen for the illusion, Jiraiya was instantly pulled into it.

Then, Itachi, who was walking towards Jiraiya, was covered with a thick layer of energy, and a huge half-skull had raised its greatsword high!

[Chapter 396 All in]

Inside the casino, Tsunade sat solemnly at the gambling table.

The betting game just ended.

"3...3 ones!"

"Holy crap, I actually won with odds of 20?!"

"Wasn't this woman supposed to be a super easy target? How did she suddenly win, and even bet on three 1s—that's ridiculous..."

"Hey, can you calculate for me, what is one million taels multiplied by 20?"

"Twenty million taels! A full twenty million taels!"

"In this one round, I not only won back all the millions of taels I had lost before, but I also multiplied them several times over!"

"Hehe, this is going to be interesting. A full twenty million taels, I wonder if the casino owner can come up with that much."

"Even if we could afford it, we wouldn't give it away. Giving it away would bankrupt us!"

"Indeed, money is more important than reputation. If all else fails, we can just take the money and come back somewhere else."

. . . . . .

The casino was bustling with activity, and everyone was talking about it.

Meanwhile, the dealer responsible for shaking the dice was covered in cold sweat.

Honestly, he absolutely did not cheat in that last round, because there was absolutely no need to cheat!

If the other party bets on big or small, he might even use technical means to adjust it.

However, in the last round, the opponent bet all their remaining money on three 1s, which were almost impossible to come up with. It was a complete recklessness, and they were ready to lose everything and leave.

So he didn't take it seriously, gave it a perfunctory shake, and put it down.

And just by listening to the sound, he knew it definitely wouldn't be three 1s.

But somehow, he got possessed!

The three 1s, bright red, seemed to mock him for being blind.

He knew that if he couldn't resolve this matter perfectly, his body would be found near the ditch by midnight.

The casino owner doesn't care how much wealth he created for the place; he only remembers that he lost a full twenty million taels to the casino!

"That's amazing! Lady Tsunade is truly incredible!"

Shizune, standing to the side, blushed with excitement.

Having been by Tsunade's side for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen Tsunade win money, and by such a large amount.

However, Shizune, who was in a state of excitement, did not notice Tsunade's condition at this time.

Despite winning money, Tsunade's eyes were somewhat dazed, and her expression was very serious, as if something bad was about to happen.
