In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

However, dissatisfied with the village's discrimination against the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Shinso decided to lead some of the Hyuga clan members away to the Land of Lightning to find the Hyuga's benefactor from many years ago—the Land of Lightning's "Hunter" Aoi.

His features were deep-set, and his face carried a composure and arrogance beyond his years. He always felt that leaving was a last resort. Originally, he had wanted to become an asset to the village, but everything changed because of the incident on the night of the betrayal.

The Hyuga clan members are isolated from going out, and even when they go on missions, they need two ninjas of other bloodlines to accompany them. The village is now openly and blatantly provoking the Hyuga.

So, Shinso decided to stop serving the village and tried to persuade the Hyuga clan members to leave with him, but he was opposed by the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hikaru. Although they were Hyuga clan members, they only cared about the village. Shinso felt that he and the two brothers were no longer on the same path.

The night wind was biting, chilling one to the bone.

Shinso no longer had the heart to walk with the two of them. He began to gather the Hyuga clan members who agreed with his views and ran away one night. At the same time, he secretly contacted "Hunter" Aoya and received positive feedback. His actions were discovered by the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hikaru, but he did not encounter much resistance.

Zhen Su felt that this was something the two of them did with a little conscience. The world was going to the dogs, and some members of the Hyuga clan had long expressed their dissatisfaction with the village. As the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi was probably well aware of this, so he did not stop them.

"Splash..." The Hyuga clan members stepped into a puddle, making a splashing sound.

If you look closely, you'll see that everyone is young and strong. Hyuga Shinso had also gathered a batch of carriages, but there weren't enough. So, the group suggested that the elderly, women, and children go to the Land of Lightning by carriage first, while the rest of the group would run and walk.

It must be said that this journey was fraught with great risk, as Konoha Village would soon be chasing after them. However, Hyuga Shinso and his group were not the type to surrender easily. Moreover, Shinso had actually prepared a backup plan.

The whistling wind swept past everyone's ears, and rustling sounds came from all around. Hinata Masato immediately sensed something was wrong and glanced back briefly, but there was no one there.

Is it just my imagination?

Zhen Su pulled down the brim of her black robe and hat again, and her straw sandals made a slight rustling sound on the ground.

"Here he comes." Hinata Shinso's eyes suddenly changed. He looked up and saw a man with gray, spiky hair and an overweight figure descending from the sky. In his hand was a Rasengan with an extremely dense amount of chakra.

"Does that mean the Byakugan doesn't exist? Jiraiya... sir?" Shinso activated his Byakugan fully, gesturing with his hands.

"Return to Heaven!"

"Boom!" Jiraiya's expression changed, he threw the Rasengan aside and darted into the bushes beside him.

Hinata Shinso finished his revival and gazed intently at the overgrown, indistinct grass.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!" Suddenly, countless white hedgehog needles shot out from inside.

Zhen Su immediately widened her eyes.

"Whoosh!" Countless Hyuga clan members were caught off guard and struck by the sharp needles! Numerous needle marks appeared on their bodies!

"Ah!" Several Hyuga clan members couldn't withstand this attack and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Hinata Shinso had several needles stuck in his body, leaving deep bloodstains on his arms and legs, but he was unable to resist.

The needles seemed to have a built-in numbing effect, and he had just used the Rejuvenation Technique.

"Is this... the battle strategy of the Sannin?" Hyuga Shinso said with a wry smile.

With just two moves, he was rendered immobile.

Under the cover of darkness, the remaining Hyuga clan members who had not been hit took up defensive positions.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes, and Jiraiya emerged from them. His expression was serious as he formed the hand seals for Fire Release.

"I don't want to kill you. Come back to Konoha with me. We can pretend that what happened today never happened."

"Is that so?" Hinata Shinso smiled. He was unable to move his body, his body was slightly bent, and he was half-squatting on the ground, with a mouthful of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"You think you can just decide not to kill them? Is this your own decision?"

Hinata Shinso was no fool; he knew that deserting during a time of crisis for the village was a serious crime that would inevitably lead to bloodshed.

Not to mention when the village was powerful, rogue ninjas were never forgiven... This is even more true in times like these.

“At least I can offer some constructive ideas.” Jiraiya wasn’t lying; he looked at Hinata Shinso and sighed softly.

"follow me."

"Don't even think about it!" Hinata Masato suddenly glared fiercely at Jiraiya. "Let's see what happens to you first."

"Hmm?" Jiraiya was a little confused. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the sky, accompanied by the boy's hoarse whisper.

"Let us die for art, the three legendary Sannin of Konoha!" The one who spoke was a young boy who wore a black and red Akatsuki robe with a cloud pattern and had an artistic yellow ponytail on his head.

"Crack!"

A white clay bird hurtled towards Jiraiya, who was directly below, at a speed of 120 km/h. Jiraiya had almost no chance to dodge and immediately curled up into a hedgehog shape.

He wanted to try and see if he could shoot through the flying bird, but Deidara sneered.

"I guessed it!" Deidara jumped off the bird's back in an instant.

The birds started exploding!

"Boom!" The dust from the explosion ignited the surrounding bushes, filling the air with a cloud of dust. Deidara stood beside Shinso and smiled slightly.

"So, how was my trip...?"

"Watch out!" Zhen Su, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes and warned sharply.

Suddenly, a towering figure appeared behind Deidara, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, a rapidly spinning Rasengan appearing in his hand.

"Rasengan!" Jiraiya appeared and used Rasengan to strike Deidara's back.

"Bang!" A shark-shaped water bullet pierced through Jiraiya's body at lightning speed, creating a small hole in his body.

Jiraiya froze on the spot, his pupils widened suddenly, and the Rasengan in his hand disappeared.

Kisame Hoshigaki, also dressed in Akatsuki robes, appeared to the side, his body still in the pose of launching water bullets, chuckling with a hint of relief.

"Kisame, thank goodness you arrived in time." Deidara smiled and added, "Even more timely than me."

Kisame's water bullet struck Jiraiya's chakra channel, temporarily sealing off his meridians.

Deidara immediately launched a flying kick, sending Jiraiya flying. At the same time, he conjured several clay spiders and threw them at Jiraiya!

Chapter 124 Konoha's Twin Ninjas

The clay spider that was thrown out exploded the moment it touched Jiraiya's body!

Jiraiya could only watch helplessly as the bomb exploded inside his body, letting out a scream.

"Tch..." Deidara wiped his nose and smiled smugly, "The Legendary Sannin of Konoha are nothing special!"

As the smoke cleared, Jiraiya stood there, covered in blood, with two toads on either side of his shoulders and frog marks on his face.

"Little Jiraiya, it seems you've run into some trouble?" a toad said.

"Hmm..." Jiraiya responded, looking at Deidara.

"Kid, don't underestimate the Legendary Sannin of Konoha..."

"Boom!" Jiraiya unleashed a massive shockwave that rippled along the blast trail before hurtling towards Deidara.

"Die!" Jiraiya's body erupted with a massive amount of powerful chakra.

Those are traces of Sage Chakra!

Deidara and Kisame were stunned by what they saw.

Using Sage Mode chakra, Jiraiya quickly opened up his chakra channels, rendering the previous blockages ineffective.

"This chakra seems familiar, Kisame-san," Deidara murmured.

“Yes…” Kisame lifted Samehada and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

"Hey..." Kisame turned his head slightly to look at a few Hyuga clan members.

"Retreat quickly..."

"Bang!" Jiraiya appeared in front of Kisame.

In slow motion, Kisame's shark eyes merely glanced at Jiraiya, and his body suddenly glowed.

"Boom!" A waterspout, as powerful as a storm, instantly sucked Jiraiya into the sky.

Kisame's Samehada disappeared, and his body transformed into a shark-man, with his speed and strength suddenly increasing.

Jiraiya looked on in astonishment as he was swept into the sky. Looking into the distance, he saw that the Hyuga clansmen who had not been affected by his attack were already carrying away those who had been hit.

"Don't leave!" Jiraiya shouted.

"Worry about yourself first, Uncle..." Deidara suddenly appeared behind Jiraiya, and countless explosives exploded behind Jiraiya.

"Boom!" Jiraiya was hit again and fell off the waterspout.

Deidara looked closer and discovered that Jiraiya was just an ordinary stand-in.

"Oh?" Deidara asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jiraiya reappeared behind Deidara!

But at that moment, Kisame also appeared behind Jiraiya.

"Bang!" Both of them were hit in front of them at the same time.

Deidara's face contorted in pain before he was finally reduced to a clay sculpture.

Jiraiya's eyes widened, and a sneer came from the wind around him.

Deidara sat atop a flying bird, gazing at the shocked Jiraiya on the ground.

"Even Sage Chakra can't sense my Clay Bomber?"

"BOOM!" The bomber explodes!

Kisame emerged from the ashes while coughing.

"Hey, Xiao Di, can you be a little more careful? You almost got blown up."

"Haha, isn't it because I believe in Kisame's thick skin and tough body?"

"Besides...aren't you quite good at absorbing chakra?" Deidara smiled.

The two talked while glancing at Jiraiya, who was injured in the explosion, on the other side.

He fell to the ground, unable to move.

"Take him away." Deidara jumped off the flying bird and looked at Jiraiya lying on the ground.

Cold sweat beaded on the faces of the two toads, and they were both terrified when Kisame and Deidara approached.

"Little Jiraiya, I can only stall for you a little longer..."

"Aaaaaah!" The toad couple began to roar to the sky, unleashing a sonic attack.
