A Sage Mode is basically equivalent to Kage level, while a completely new Sage Mode that replaces chakra is more accurately described as a Sage, since they can use natural energy forever.
"I'm so unwilling! But what can I do? What's the point of resisting?"
Feeling increasingly exhausted, Jiraiya asked in a low voice, seemingly asking himself, or perhaps asking Hiroji.
But no answer came in the end; he had no way of getting an answer.
Jiraiya's body was immediately frozen and then sent to the Kamui dimension. This war was not over, and there was no need for Jiraiya to appear as a Six Paths puppet or through the Impure World Reincarnation.
After cleaning up Jiraiya's body, Koji ordered his shadow clones to continue to be distributed around Amegakure. Now, besides Koji and his shadow clones, only Nagato and Konan remain in Amegakure.
As for the Akatsuki members, none of them have successfully reached Amegakure so far. It's unknown whether anyone will arrive in the next few days.
-----------------
In the Hokage's office in Konoha, Tsunade silently stared at the slug on the desk, flanked by Tsunade and Sakura Haruno, both with unusually grim expressions.
Sakura Haruno successfully summoned the slug and obtained the information transmitted back from Amegakure. However, if this information had not been available, it might have been good news for Konoha.
"Lord Jiraiya..."
Sakura Haruno subconsciously took a step back. According to the route to Amegakure, Jiraiya-sama was killed as soon as he entered Amegakure.
This is truly unacceptable, and what's most despairing is that the one who killed Jiraiya was the guy who used to be an elder in Konoha and then left.
Moreover, the ninjutsu used was the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was unacceptable to Konoha.
Sakura Haruno subconsciously glanced at Tsunade across from her, only to find that she didn't react much. She just sat there quietly, her face showing no sadness, but also no other expression.
This is not good news. Compared to Tsunade, who is clearly unwilling to accept reality and is already grieving, the problem is much bigger.
"Notify everyone to proceed to Amegakure immediately."
About five minutes later, Tsunade calmly gave the order. Sakura Haruno nodded, turned around and left the Hokage's office. Before she had gone far, she heard the sound of things being smashed and the sound of intermittent crying coming from inside the office.
Hearing these words, Sakura Haruno quickened her pace. The matter was already settled, so the only thing to do was to take revenge.
Kill that traitor of Konoha and avenge Jiraiya-sama.
In the back of Konoha, Kakashi was watching Naruto Uzumaki undergo his final training. It was the technique the First Hokage used against Madara Uchiha, and Naruto was now able to use it. Although he wasn't quite proficient yet, it still had power.
Just as Kakashi was feeling quite relieved, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Because of the previous arrangements, Kakashi knew very well that this was the horn to summon all the ninjas to prepare for their departure for Amegakure.
"Let's go!"
Upon hearing the sound, Kakashi called out to Naruto Uzumaki, who had just finished training. It was a scene of mutual joy and harmony, but only a few minutes later, the expressions of the two of them became unusually serious.
Naruto Uzumaki even stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"That lecherous immortal..."
Naruto murmured to himself, seemingly unwilling to believe it. After all, only three days had passed since he received the news that Jiraiya had set off. Wasn't all of this happening too fast?
"All we can do is seek revenge."
Kakashi calmly looked at Naruto Uzumaki. Under normal circumstances, he would never have said this, but now that the situation of Amegakure had been confirmed, the only thing to do was to unite with other ninja villages as soon as possible, surround Amegakure at an extremely fast speed, and then take revenge.
"I will make them pay the price."
Naruto Uzumaki spoke fiercely. His shadow clone, who had just finished dealing with the Hyuga clan's affairs, stood not far away and smirked slightly. He hoped that when it came time to extract the Nine-Tails, Naruto would be just as tough.
Unlike Konoha, which was fully prepared, the other ninja villages whose target was Amegakure had only just begun to organize their ninjas and would need at least five days to prepare before setting off.
"That guy actually returned to Konoha and even left behind a shadow clone. That's fantastic."
The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure was already debating whether to let Darui lead the troops, and now he suddenly received this news. There is no doubt that he can regain his original strength and completely resolve the matter with Iwagakure. It's just too wonderful.
Onoki from Iwagakure shared the same thought: no matter what, Kurotsuchi was his granddaughter, and he was determined to cure her.
As for uniting to wipe out the Akatsuki organization, that can wait.
Gaara of Sunagakure and Mei Terumi of Kirigakure didn't have many ideas, since thinking about them wouldn't make any difference.
The entire ninja world proceeded smoothly, and the Five Kage Summit and the special circumstances of Amegakure spread throughout the ninja world.
In a secluded base, Uchiha Sasuke looked at Suigetsu and Jugo in front of him, feeling somewhat weary. They started fighting immediately upon meeting again, but with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he could easily win.
But this doesn't mean much. Although he promised to help Obito Uchiha obtain the Rinnegan, the current situation is that he doesn't even know where the owner of the Rinnegan is.
However, since all five great ninja villages have confirmed that the Akatsuki is in Amegakure, he will definitely go and take a look. If they are really there, he will definitely take action. But if they are not there, he can probably take out a few Kage along the way.
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha was unaware of how naive his thoughts were, after all, the power brought by the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was undeniable.
This power was so great that Sasuke Uchiha couldn't even recognize the true extent of his own strength, which is rather sad.
After dealing with Jiraiya's body, Hongzhi went directly to a scenic canyon. The resurrection of the Two-Tails was imminent, and he hoped to find time to seal it. Otherwise, the ninjas of the five great ninja villages wouldn't last until the third day.
Chapter 434 Who do you think you are?!
Natural energy was converging wildly in the valley, and Hongzhi, standing at a distance, could clearly see a blue hue silently appearing at the center of that energy.
As the natural energy gradually increased, the blue color began to slowly flicker, like a flame slowly swaying. When everything calmed down, a blue cat with two tails reappeared in Hongzhi's sight.
"It's finally revived, Two-Tails."
Seeing this scene, Hiroji felt somewhat excited. When he directly killed Yugito, the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, Hiroji was worried that there wouldn't be enough time to awaken the Rinnegan. But after the Rinnegan was awakened, he found that he had to wait for the Two-Tails to be resurrected. It was truly a twist of fate.
Before Two-Tails could even take in the environment of its resurrection, it noticed a person not far away. At first, Two-Tails was somewhat disdainful of this person, but in the next second, it felt an unimaginable suppressive force.
When Niji looked at the man again, he discovered that his eyes had turned into Rinnegan, and a rather special kind of Rinnegan at that.
Before it could even think, or rather, before it had any time to think at all, the Two-Tails was directly controlled by the genjutsu of the Rinnegan with six tomoe.
"The timing should be just right."
Looking at the Two-Tails, which had already been controlled, Hiroji smiled slightly, then transformed into another form and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring the Two-Tails directly to Amegakure.
It took Hongzhi two days to wait for the Two-Tails to revive. During this time, the Konoha ninja forces successfully entered the Land of Rain. The Iwagakure and Sunagakure ninja forces also arrived, since Amegakure itself was the border between the three parties.
However, entering the Land of Rain and arriving near Amegakure are not the same thing, so the sudden appearance of the Two-Tails will certainly not arouse too much suspicion.
Of course, this refers to outside Amegakure. Members of Akatsuki also arrived one after another over the next two days. It's not a matter of whether they come or not; even if they hadn't participated in this matter, it would have been impossible for them to reconcile with the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
The most likely scenario is that he will be hunted down after the events in Amegakure are over.
This is not good news for the Akatsuki members, as escaping from the pursuit of the five great ninja villages is extremely difficult.
Not long after the Two-Tails appeared in Amegakure, Konan flew over directly. Without much conversation, Hiroji simply told her to take the Two-Tails away. It would take Akatsuki three days to seal the Two-Tails, and it would also take three days to seal the Nine-Tails.
This is actually quite tight, after all, in just three more days, the five great ninja villages will be able to complete their initial integration and enter Amegakure to fight. To be honest, the ninjas of the five great ninja villages could be wiped out by shadow clones in less than three days.
This is an unsolvable problem. If they kill them all, there will definitely be no one to act with Obito Uchiha to lure out Black Zetsu. But if they let them off the hook, then the Akatsuki members alone cannot stop the ninjas from the five great ninja villages.
Of course, they didn't even have a chance to participate, since the Akatsuki organization was definitely going to seal the Tailed Beasts. In other words, Hongzhi could only let his shadow clones play games with the ninjas from the five great ninja villages, and he also had to be careful not to kill them all.
After the Two-Tails was taken away, Hiroji left his shadow clone in Amegakure, while he quietly replaced the shadow clone who was in the Konoha camp.
Konoha is the closest ninja village to Amegakure, so it receives the news the fastest, and its elite forces have already arrived at a location some distance from Amegakure.
Shadow clones were naturally among the first ninjas to arrive here because of their healing abilities. After all, the first thing the five great ninja villages did after gathering was to treat the Raikage, since that guy was still very strong. If he were completely crippled, the chances of the five great ninja villages winning would be even lower.
Upon arriving here, Hongzhi quietly watched the busy Konoha ninjas. This would be the location of the Konoha camp. Normally, even Konoha wouldn't set up camp so close to a small ninja village.
After all, this is a matter of face. How can you, one of the five great ninja villages, treat a small ninja village like this?
This will not only affect Konoha's reputation in the ninja world, but will also allow Amegakure's ninjas to unleash unimaginable fighting power, since it's a matter of face.
However, Konoha was well aware that all the ninjas and civilians from Amegakure had evacuated, which meant that at most, only some Akatsuki members remained in Amegakure.
Although Konoha was somewhat wary because of Jiraiya's intelligence, surrounding the entire Amegakure village was undoubtedly the more appropriate course of action given the current situation.
Hongzhi had no time to deal with these things. After slacking off at the Konoha camp for a day, he saw an old acquaintance, the Fourth Raikage, A.
Judging from his hurried manner, it is certain that the ninjas from Kumogakure have just arrived here. This means that Hongzhi's previous prediction was wrong. The Five Kage have not yet gathered, and it will take several more days to complete the exchange of information and team coordination.
Perhaps in the end, it won't be the Akatsuki that takes the initiative to capture the Nine-Tails, but rather the five great ninja villages that enter Amegakure to prevent the Akatsuki from successfully sealing the Nine-Tails.
The difference is that in the former case, the Akatsuki organization captured Naruto Uzumaki, while in the latter case, after the Two-Tails was completely sealed, Hiroji directly sent Naruto Uzumaki inside.
As for the final outcome, Hongzhi was not sure. After all, it was possible that the five great ninja villages would not conduct any so-called research and adjustment and would directly charge into Amegakure.
Can it be cured?
Knowing it was a shadow clone, the Fourth Raikage, A, was still somewhat apprehensive. After all, it was common knowledge in the ninja world that a shadow clone could not necessarily accomplish what the original could.
If he's not confident in his ability to handle this shadow clone, he needs to get Darui to take over the Raikage's position as soon as possible and get the ninjas of Kumogakure to accept this.
"Who do you think you are?!"
Hongzhi coldly looked at the Fourth Raikage, threw away the Sacred Flame, and then sat down to wait patiently.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Fourth Raikage, A, felt something was amiss, but after feeling the pain in his shoulder and wrist, he was completely stunned.
Under his gaze, the bones grew first. The Fourth Raikage was somewhat taken aback when he saw this. Did he no longer need to control them?
While he was still in a daze, his left hand had already fully recovered. Except for looking a little different in color from the other parts, it was exactly the same as before.
After a few short periods of adjustment, you can regain your original fighting strength.
His right arm was completely restored as the Fourth Raikage A examined his left hand, and at the same time, the Holy Healing Flame on his body was extinguished.
"Okay, you can go."
After finishing, Hongzhi waved to signal the Fourth Raikage to leave. At this point, the injury posed no problem for Hongzhi at all; he could easily finish the task with his eyes closed.
Chapter 435 This is the best solution right now.
Not long after the Fourth Raikage A left, he came in with the Third Tsuchikage Onoki and his half-paralyzed granddaughter Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi was naturally carried in by several medical ninjas from Iwagakure, but they left after putting her down.
Onoki and Ai stared at Hiroji without saying a word, as if waiting for something.
"This is not a charity."
Faced with these two, Hongzhi waved his hand, changed to a more comfortable position, and lay down to the side, observing the sky outside the window through a small hole at the top of the tent.
"The Hokage has already agreed to this."
Noticing Hiroji's dissatisfaction, Raikage Ai calmly said, "It seemed to be very easy when I was treating him just now, but why is the situation different here in Iwagakure?"
"Then why don't you go find the Hokage? Why are you asking me?"
Hongzhi answered casually, slowly closing his eyes. There were good things inside Kurotsuchi's body, namely half of the One-Tailed Beast and a part of the Eight-Tailed Beast's chakra.
