Even though Shoji respects and likes Jiraiya very much based on his past life memories and emotions, at that time and not at this moment, the character did not change, but Shoji's position was completely different. We must understand that Jiraiya

It is true that he is the same on the outside and is a very forthright person, but that also depends on the occasion. On the battlefield, any words spoken by the enemy must be viewed with "colored glasses".

Any careless move will only get you killed.

When Shoji and Akato were unclear about the situation and had no redundant intelligence sources, they naturally chose to doubt Jiraiya's purpose as much as possible. At least in Shoji's view, it was very likely that Jiraiya alone was holding them back and then giving them to him.

It’s time for the Konoha ninjas in the stronghold to re-adjust their lineup and posture!

In fact, as long as there is one more Jiraiya in the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold, they really have little chance to break into it. General Si Chitu is still not enough. If this is Loess or Han, the five-tailed jinchuriki

If he were present, Shoji might not choose to take action. Compared with Akatsuki, his senior brother, and the jinchūriki, the gap is still very obvious.

An existence of Jiraiya's level, Akatsuki can only be said to be qualified to fight with him, and he must be Jiraiya in normal mode. Once Jiraiya enters sage mode, he will not be like Naruto in the original work.

Such a perfect sage mode, but the advantage is that Jiraiya can let the two toad sages of Mount Myoboku absorb and transform natural energy for him, which can be said to be an endless supply of senjutsu chakra!

With this alone, he can suppress the general and fight Akatsuki. In the original work, if the intelligence gap is not too large, even if Jiraiya still cannot defeat Pain of the Six Paths, he can still easily escape (in fact,

Jiraiya's main purpose is to further verify his inner conjecture, otherwise there is still a certain probability that he can run away and not die in the hands of Six Paths Pain.)

Shoji is a little overly cautious just because he knows Jiraiya's strength very well, but this is also the best choice Shoji can make in the current situation, unless he is really willing to use the Mangekyou Sharingan and Jiraiya's blood without any bottom line.

Fight, otherwise you can only sit back and watch the Konoha ninjas unfold step by step steadily at their own pace.

Of course, Jiraiya could see that General Akatsuki didn't believe him at all. He was still completely vigilant in preparing for war. Jiraiya also smiled casually and didn't take it seriously. In terms of mentality and caliber,

Jiraiya truly deserves to be called a hero.

They faced off against each other for more than ten minutes.

Just when General was about to doubt himself further.

"Then, let's get here first today!"

Jiraiya, who had already received the message, smiled slightly at Shoji and Akato who were sitting opposite him.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately afterwards.

He also has a straight body shape.

It flashes straight towards the rear position.

Only the general was left behind, and Akato and the two of them looked at Jiraiya's figure that was gradually retreating with varying degrees of confusion.

Ah? Is this really going to happen?

Let’s not talk about red soil.

The general looked a little confused at this moment. Is what this Konoha hero said true? The Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was just given up?

Until Jiraiya's figure disappeared, and then it was clear that a large number of Konoha ninjas had already gradually disappeared, Shoji still seemed a little unresponsive, although according to the original work, Jiraiya

The character description of this hero is that he is a person who does what he says. He will have some shortcomings, but he is worthy of his righteousness, including Naruto's bad things. Because the original work does not describe it in detail, the higher probability is still

It can be attributed to Jiraiya's excessive trust in his Hokage teacher and the fact that he only returned to the village less than a few times in those eleven or twelve years, which is why Naruto's childhood was so painful.

Otherwise, according to the portrayal of Jiraiya's character in the original work, it is impossible to think of him as the kind of person who would let Naruto live that kind of lonely childhood even though he knew the truth. You must know that Minato is the one who will Jiraiya.

He is also regarded as a father. Naruto's names are all taken from the protagonists of Jiraiya's novels. If Jiraiya could completely ignore Naruto's childhood life, then Jiraiya would be really terrible.

!

Judging from Jiraiya's many performances in the original work.

Jiraiya is obviously not such a bad, cold person.

This is a heroic figure with both righteousness and tenderness.

This is also the reason why Shoji fell in love with the character Jiraiya when he was watching the original Naruto novel in his previous life. It was really because of the critical reaction on the battlefield that Shoji took the highest level of vigilance and alertness.

Now I see that this hero really does what he says.

"It seems that something unexpected happened on Konoha's side, otherwise they would not have given up the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold so easily, but this is good, we can take advantage of the situation to occupy the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold first, and the dominance of the war can be regarded as initially falling to us.

It’s in my hands! Just pay attention to the movements of the retreating Konoha ninjas!”

Shoji turned to look at Chitu beside him and said.

It didn't matter that he didn't understand the situation for a while. Anyway, the fact that the Konoha garrison retreated was already in front of him. Although the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was destroyed by the Konoha ninjas as they retreated, almost all of them were destroyed.

garrison facilities.

It is impossible to completely take over the northern fortress like last year's rock and sand war, but it is possible to expel Konoha's defense forces from here and completely ignite the war into the Land of Fire. This is already a huge achievement.

Victory.

In the following developments, their Iwagakure side already had a certain degree of dominance, and they already had the advantage in the game.

"Um."

Chitu also nodded with a steady expression.

The two of them immediately joined forces and temporarily stationed themselves in the remaining stronghold of Wuyuan Mountain, and then used this as a basis to rebuild their defense line.

I just entered the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold.

Not long after commanding the Iwa Ninjas below to start rebuilding some infrastructure, the scattered investigators brought back the main loess army and arrived in an area less than twenty miles away from the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold.

The moment I received the news.

The general and Chitu suddenly realized this.

"It turns out that it is because of this that the Konoha hero took the initiative to give in when the situation was still acceptable."

Our own reinforcements will arrive soon, but the reinforcements from the opposite side will take two or three hours. The time difference is enough to make the remaining Konoha ninja legions die several times, including Jiraiya. Once they fall into Shoji, Loess, and Red Earth,

In addition to the siege of the four Han people, thousands of Iwa ninja troops from the inner and outer third levels were added.

Even someone as strong as Jiraiya would have to fold here.

Even if you enter immortal mode, it will be the same.

How can Generals, Loess, Han, and Chitu be vegetarians?

Therefore, Jiraiya's choice is the most reasonable. They must have learned this part of the information in advance before arriving, so they were so decisive. However, the general did not have any regrets. Even if time went back, they learned in advance.

Reinforcement information for your own team.

The general will not take the initiative to intercept the evacuation of Konoha troops.

Again, Jiraiya's deterrence is too strong. Loess and Han's reinforcements will still take twenty to thirty minutes to arrive. If he takes action forcefully, he doesn't know who will be unlucky!

And looking at the overall situation, this place is definitely not suitable for really entering the death battle mode with Konoha. Although it is going to hurt Konoha, you still have to pay attention to controlling the scale inside, but you can't really let it go.

Yun Ren sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

The three of them are now in a relatively subtle situation. Although Konoha is the most dangerous, the three families are all in a relationship that affects the whole body. Although I don't think that the Third Hokage has such courage, but the war

This thing is really hard to say, if the two families get into trouble here.

It doesn't matter who wins or loses.

The Kumo ninja watching the show will definitely become the biggest winner. Konoha doesn't want to see this, and the Iwa ninja doesn't want to see this unfold either.

The competition has just begun.

The main force of the Iwa ninja has reunited.

This was originally the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold where Konoha ninjas were stationed in the Country of Fire. It was on this day that nearly five thousand Iwa ninja troops were officially stationed. This was the first time since the establishment of Konoha Hidden Village that ninja legions from other countries were stationed.

Entering the Kingdom of Fire on such a large scale.

The Wuyuan Mountain stronghold is not an important defensive area, but the superficial significance of being occupied here far exceeds its actual value. It is foreseeable that when this news spreads throughout the Fire Country and even the ninja world

When it comes, it will have such a drastic impact, especially on the Fire Country itself. From the daimyo, nobles, to ordinary civilians, they will start to worry about their own safety. People will live in the comfort zone for more than fifty years.

after.

Once this comfort zone is broken, the chain reaction will be very scary.

This is also the biggest reason why Shikaku's previous plan, even if he wanted to create a 'big defeat', must stop at the Wuyuan Mountain area. As a Konoha ninja, he must consider factors at the national level.

However, the small gap in his plan that was not even a loophole made his plan at least half a failure. The fall of the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was bound to make Lu Jiu readjust his plan in the future.

Huang Tu, who had just arrived at the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold, also received further accurate information from the general, Chi Tu, when he heard that Jiraiya, who had not been seen for several years, actually rushed to the frontline battlefield.

A hint of surprise appeared on Huang Tu's honest face: "Did that Konoha hero actually appear on the battlefield so quickly? It seems that Konoha's side also made preparations in advance.

Make some preparations!"

"Yes, so, Huang Tusang, I think we need to readjust our strategy!"

The general nodded slightly, and then said with a solemn expression.

The weight of a single Jiraiya or the six or seven thousand Konoha ninja legions is not enough for the general to deal with seriously. After all, the number of ninjas dispatched this time is as high as 5,000, but the combined power of the two makes it impossible for the general to deal with it seriously.

The general must be cautious.

Not to mention that Nara Shikaku, who is said to be the person with the highest IQ in the original work, also appeared on the Western Front battlefield. Shoji's current strength is still a long way from the level of his ancestor who was reduced to ten kais in one fell swoop.

Due to the distance and the presence of Nara Shikaku, Shoji cannot be ignored. A person who is good at planning can exert more power of his army to a great extent!

If they are not careful, their Iwagakure Village side may suffer a huge defeat.

Five thousand people, this already occupies a full third of the strength of Yanyin Village. Once they are all handed over here, Yanyin Village will definitely be exhausted.

Konoha, Kumogakure!

Those in high positions must think everything through.

"Jiang Si-kun, what do you mean?"

Huang Tu looked at the general with a sophisticated look and asked.

"What I mean is that it's time for the Cloud Hidden Village to move. As we made a 'covenant' with each other before the war, since our Yanyin Village has shown sincerity, we should also remind the Cloud Hidden Village

Fulfill your obligations, otherwise the meaning of the 'covenant' will be gone!"

The general said with a very solemn tone, and even further emphasized the word 'covenant'.

Although I don't want to say this, if Yunyin Village really doesn't plan to take action, Yanyin Village may really need to stop here, and even say that the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold needs to retreat. The reason is very simple, this is the territory of the Country of Fire

, the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold is not really important enough that Yanyin Village must defend it.

Iwagakure Village has no interest in fighting Konoha just for such a low-value area. It can swallow the entire country of grass and bring it into the scope of influence. Iwagakure Village's military operation this time is

Not considered a loss

Therefore, whether to further launch the next military operation still depends on the wishes of the Cloud Hidden Village side. Of course, before making a real decision, we still have to be tougher where we should be tough, and we must not let the Konoha side take any advantage.

, This is true on the face, and it is also true on the inside!

"Well, I understand what you mean, General. Now we really need the efforts of Yunyin Village. All the pressure must not be borne by our Yanyin Village!"

The previous attacks were forced by Konoha. While Konoha agreed to the request made by the Kumo ninja, it forcefully refused the request of the Iwa ninja, and even dispatched reinforcements in real time to support them. If the Iwa ninja gave up, then

It will only become a laughing stock in the ninja world, so no matter what the final result is, at that moment, not to mention the original plan to include the country of grass into its own sphere of influence, just for this point, it is still very difficult to fight

Necessary!

Now, with our strategic goals having been initially achieved, it is time to be more conservative.

Face has been saved (attacked head-on and defeated the enemy once.)

There is also Li Zi (referring to taking over the entire Kingdom of Grass and infiltrating into the Kingdom of Fire)

At this point, Yanyin Village has initially gained the initiative. It can advance and retreat. It wants to force Yunyin Village to take a side!

There is definitely no good thing in this world that is all sweetness and requires no responsibility at all!

Chi Tu also nodded heavily at the side, but Han still looked calm. Anyway, the order he received was to obey Huang Tu's arrangements, appear on stage when necessary, and play his role. He did not need to do other things.

I have no interest in taking care of it either.

"The contact with the Kumo ninja is left to me. I will communicate with Lord Tsuchikage in advance. Akato, you are responsible for connecting with Arai-san. Lord Tsuchikage has arranged for a group of backup troops and supplies to come over.

, you must ensure the safety of our logistics route and the regional passages on both sides with Arai-san. At this critical moment, we must not let go of any valid information!"

The frontline army is pressing forward, but some forces must be rearranged in the rear. Although Iwagakure Village needs to take care of both Sunagakure Village due south and Yunyin Village due east, one of them was crippled just last year, and the southern fortress is still behind.

Entering the hands of his own Ninja Village, the defensive pressure was greatly reduced, and the same was true for the other one. Chen Chongbing was in the Kingdom of Tang. Facing the border area of ​​the Kingdom of Earth, the deployed force itself was not very large.

Therefore, Onoki, the third Tsuchikage, can easily distribute the troops in his ninja village.

In addition to stationing a certain degree of garrison force on both sides of the border and leaving some necessary mobile reserves, Ohnoki can also deploy at least four to five thousand people and send them to the southeastern front line, but the current situation does not really require

And they sent so many people here.

Follow the established plan.

Onoki also sent more than a thousand people to the Country of Grass as a backup force. Even if the front line decided to retreat, there was absolutely no reason to spit out the fat of the Country of Grass that had already been swallowed by his own Ninja Village.

of!

Even if there is no frontline demand, it is necessary to send additional forces to strengthen control.

With his family's focus shifting forward, Loess is still a little worried that Arai can't control it alone. Akato is the most suitable person to help. This is also to prevent Konoha from being really big-hearted and even reaching an undisclosed agreement with Kumogakure.

They planned to devour the legions sent to the front line by Yanyin Village, and further strengthened their own retreat channels.

"Well, don't worry, Brother Huangtu!"

Akatsuchi also understands the importance of this task. In the previous war, the Iwa Ninjas had already suffered a similar big loss. This time, no matter what, they must stabilize their own rear and never let Konoha find it again.

Any opportunity that can be exploited.

"The frontline reconnaissance and further testing will be left to you, General, if the intelligence is correct, Konoha's reinforcements should be arriving soon, either tonight or tomorrow morning. A corresponding exploratory attack will definitely be launched.

You can make your own judgment based on the situation, unless the opposite army is pressing in, do you understand?"

It is impossible for more than 5,000 rock ninjas to be squeezed into a Wuyuan Mountain stronghold. Not to mention that this stronghold cannot accommodate so many ninjas. Even if it could, if they were just gathered together and the surrounding area was released, it would be easy for others.

Surround yourself with opportunities.

That's a fool's decision!

Set up the base camp in the stronghold of Wuyuan Mountain, and then use it as a ladder to spread out the two wings. This is the most reasonable formation!

What Loess means is to let the general lead a group of rock ninjas to press forward and go deeper into the Fire Country to build a defense line whose main responsibility is reconnaissance. In the past ninja wars, there were really few large-scale ninja legions.

Confrontations between the two sides often involve the two sides pulling away from each other, and then constantly colliding and fighting in a certain area in a small-scale form.

The battle of ninjas is not a war between ordinary soldiers!

"Yes, I understand, Huangtu Sang, please don't worry!"

The general also straightened his body and responded loudly.

"Han Sang, I would like to ask you to be vigilant at all times during this period of time. It is very likely that you will need to take action!"

After Jiang Si finished speaking, Huang Tu turned to look at Han on the other side and said in a deep voice.

Jiraiya!

One of the Sannin of Konoha.

He is recognized as a Kage-level powerhouse in the ninja world.

Even though Loess has never fought against Jiraiya in person, the reputation of the three ninjas is all forged with blood. Although Jiraiya in the original book does have a very cheerful and heroic look, but as a person from the second ninja world

The war began and the number of ninjas from all over the world who died in the hands of Jiraiya exceeded four figures!

This Konoha hero who is nearly forty years old is truly the pinnacle figure in the ninja world.

He is a person that even his father, the Tsuchikage, praised highly.

Naturally, Huang Tu will not be careless or lax, and he will not care about the so-called face issues. As long as it is really needed in the subsequent war, Huang Tu will never mind that he, the general, and Han will join forces to besiege this place.

A hero of Konoha.

Talking about the so-called self-esteem of the strong in war is a joke!

There is always only one truth in war, and that is victory!

"Um!"

As a five-tailed Jinchuuriki who had experienced the Second Ninja War in his childhood, he naturally understood how powerful Jiraiya was, and he could also understand what the son of the Tsuchikage wanted to express in his words. Han

There was no resistance at all, he nodded heavily and replied with a loud voice.

The same tactical strategy is revised.

When Loess, Shoji and others felt the pressure and took the initiative to slow down their pace and re-arrange their front lines, on the other side, Jiraiya, who was covering the retreat of the frontline troops, was also on the way, and Shikaku

The reinforcements led by him came forward.

It can be said that almost the moment he received the information from the frontline investigators, Lu Jiu was 100% sure that his Wuyuan Mountain stronghold must have been lost. Although he was shocked by the actions of Yanyin Village, Lu Jiu

It's not like Kuya didn't prepare for the worst in advance, so he immediately changed his strategy.

Immediately issued an order to stop his reinforcements on the spot. With the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold already lost, he had to find a suitable place to build a new line of defense, not only to be able to stop the Iwa Ninja army from going south as much as possible

The pace must also be ensured not to further irritate the nerves of some people at home and in the village.
