The will of fire can't save the ninja world

There are countless swamps and countless dark green lakes in the deep mountains of the Swamp Country.

Many of those lakes are caused by perennial wetlands, and they are not as clear as normal lakes. The quiet stagnant water is highly corrosive.

At this moment, there are not many intact places around Youtan. There are countless traces of flames and countless scars plowed by violent force. Only Youtan seems to have no waves.

But under the deep pool, a strange-looking frog appeared.

The frog is brown in color, looks small among psychic beasts, and has a strange gourd shape.

At this time, the frog was struggling to withstand the toxic corrosion under the deep pool, and carefully escaped into the distance.

Suddenly, there was a torrent in the deep pool.

The water flow hit the toad like a cannonball.

Once, twice, three times.

There seems to be a creature invisible to the naked eye under the deep pool, which is frantically using water escape attacks.

The gourd toad finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with a bang, it turned into smoke and disappeared.

Two figures suddenly appeared and quickly separated.

Jiraiya, who had long white hedgehog hair, had just retreated when he felt something coming quickly from the depths of the deep pool where he had little vision.

He could no longer dodge, so he could only dance with his white hair and wrap himself up like a hedgehog.

A giant tail with barbs struck, whipping the hedgehog violently away.

Even though Jiraiya was slowed down by the Lion's Hair Technique, he was still forced to be injured. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and took another sip of the poisonous pool water before closing his mouth and nose tightly.

However, these injuries are already insignificant compared to those left from previous battles.

At this moment, Jiraiya has orange eye shadow, cross-shaped frog eyes, and a somewhat ugly toad nose. This unsightly appearance is exactly the sage mode he practiced in Mt. Miaomu.

Even in the immortal mode, he still had many wounds on his body - the entire back was licked by the flames and was scorched black, the left calf was fractured, an unknown number of ribs were broken, and the right palm was covered in flesh and blood.

All of this comes from the battle ten minutes ago.

Uchiha Madara's strength far exceeded him.

If he hadn't prepared the immortal mode in advance, he might not even have the ability to escape here.

"The toad is gone, that guy Uchiha Madara..."

Jiraiya looked for Madara Uchiha's figure underwater with his toad eyes.

After the fight, Jiraiya truly saw what Uchiha Madara can do now.

It's not quite the same as before - or maybe Uchiha Madara is deliberately using new abilities.

Madara can fully use the power of the tailed beast, whether it is controlling the sand, the three-tailed water cannon, or the five-tailed King Mu's impact, it is all contained in his non-humanoid body.

With endless power, he is the most powerful ninja that Jiraiya has ever seen, even transcending the existence of ninjas.

With so much power of the tailed beasts being used through his hands, it is even more difficult to deal with than the original tailed beasts.

But Madara is not completely without weaknesses.

After several battles, Jiraiya discovered that the power in Uchiha Madara's body had also become a burden to him.

It's like seven, no, eight kinds of power are mixed together, not in harmony.

The chaos of power is reflected in Uchiha Madara's form - just like his current half-immortal body, it is extremely chaotic.

If anyone can seize the weak point of this force and make a big move, it may be possible to completely disintegrate it through the rejection of eight different forces.

Whether it is Uchiha Madara's current tailed beast power or the discovered weakness, these two pieces of information must be spread out!

Jiraiya more or less knew in his heart that he was incapable of escaping.

But as a top intelligence officer, sending the information away means the mission is accomplished.

Even if you pay for it with your life, it is still worth it.

This is exactly what ninjas learned when they first started.

"It's a pity that there are some things that I can't see..."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly, but kept moving.

He took advantage of the power that had just been taken away from him and headed towards the sky above Youtan.

While jumping out of the water, he kept making seals with his hands.

With two puffs of sound, two short toad figures reappeared on his shoulders - the two toad sages, Fukasaku and Shima.

Two immortals helped him complete the immortal mode, and then he was attacked by Uchiha Madara in Toad Lair and separated from him.

The injuries on the two immortals were equally serious. Fukasaku was panting: "Little Jiraiya, you have to leave as soon as possible. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

As a sage from Mt. Myoboku, one of the two toads looks small, but his strength is not low.

If they try their best, there is a certain chance of sending Jiraiya out, but of the two of them, at least one of them will definitely stay.

Jiraiya didn't say anything, he was the one who knew his status best, and he also knew that since Madara Uchiha appeared here, the troops from the Reincarnation of the Earth must also be nearby.

Even if he managed to escape by chance, he would not be able to escape the subsequent Reincarnation Troops from the Dead Lands.

If that's the case, then he has no intention of escaping again.

He didn't even pay attention to the two immortals. Instead, he bit his left finger and clumsily wrote down the key points of information on the scroll. His right hand was now extremely stiff due to excessive use of the Rasengan, and he had little feeling.

Shima Sennin said urgently: "Your sage mode won't last long, hurry up -"

Just in the middle of speaking, Fukasaku Sennin hurriedly said: "Be careful!"

The immortal couple, who had a tacit understanding, took action at the same time.

When a figure emerged from the water in the distance, Shima Sennin stuck out his tongue and quickly wrapped it around him.

And Fukasaku Sennin spit out water at the same time, and the high-speed water cut the target bound by the tongue.

The high-speed water flow was decisively cut off, but all that was left on the water was a section of the octopus tentacle.

At the same time, Jiraiya had to stop writing half of the information.

Under his feet, there was a strange power coming from him.

Jiraiya quickly stepped on the water and stood up, trying to pull away quickly.

But it was a bit late after all.

There were countless bubbles on the water surface, and the bubbles looked colorful. The moment they approached the water surface, they exploded violently!

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

The explosions continued continuously, and Jiraiya continued to be tracked.

Jiraiya's left leg was already injured, so his movements were a bit slower at this time, and both legs were soaked with blood.

"Little Jiraiya!"

Shima Sennin exclaimed.

Then he saw Jiraiya's expression unchanged, and he took out the scroll again and quickly recorded it.

Seeing this, Fukasaku knew that Jiraiya had already made up his mind, so he took a deep breath: "Damn it, let's buy time for little Jiraiya!"

Immortal Shima couldn't bear it, but knew that she could no longer hesitate at this time.

Seeing that a figure finally appeared, the two immortals opened their mouths at the same time.

[Magic-Toad is singing]!

The two toads spoke at the same time, and the auditory illusion made the surroundings seem to be trapped in a strange enchantment.

Toad's singing can cause all creatures that hear it to fall into their illusion barrier. Once the enemy is unable to move, it can deliver a fatal blow.

But the reality is hard to accept.

That is Uchiha Madara's attainment in genjutsu, which is not something ordinary people can understand.

As the patriarch of the Uchiha family, and as the being with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Madara immediately sensed something was wrong and determined the core points of the illusion, so he automatically blocked his hearing.

Whether it is the eardrum or the bones, the vibration is completely suppressed.

This is difficult for humans to do, but now that Uchiha Madara possesses the functions of the seven tailed beasts, it is easy to do it.

At this time, Uchiha Madara looked very different from just now.

The characteristics of the tailed beast are automatically hidden in the body.

Use it if you want to use it; if you don't want to use it, it has no features.

To him, it was like the imperfect sage mode transitioning into the perfect sage mode.

"Sure enough, after eating a full meal, it is easier to digest food if you warm up."

Uchiha Madara didn't look like he had experienced a war at all, and was indifferent to Toad Sage's attack.

It's not that he wasn't injured, but the extent was very low.

And because I am not familiar with my current body, I can't control the irritability of the tailed beast in my mind. However, all this has been digested with the warm-up battle just now.

"As a senior, I have to say that Konoha's education is pretty good. Unfortunately, Konoha's true geniuses have never been retained by Konoha."

Uchiha Madara was tired of playing. Seeing that Jiraiya wanted to take away the information with psychic skills, he formed a seal with one hand——

The eyes of reincarnation are opened.

…

"Still haven't found the whereabouts?"

In the Konoha Building, Namikaze Minato sighed.

There were mountains of documents on the desk in front of him, all of which had just been processed today.

In this crisis in the ninja world, as a Jinchuriki and as a Jinchuriki's husband, he cannot easily rush to the front line.

You can only sit in the rear and control the situation.

Unless the precise location of Uchiha Madara is found, there is no way to attack.

But after searching for so long, no one has found any trace of Uchiha Madara.

And his teacher, Jiraiya, seemed dissatisfied with the current progress of the search and planned to try some bold attempts.

At the beginning, Hinata and Hizashi could bring back some news about Jiraiya. Later, when the search range of the two of them became further and further away, Hizashi no longer cared about Jiraiya's information.

"It's been almost a week since I heard from the teacher."

Minato rubbed his eyes, feeling physically and mentally tired.

For him who is good at fighting, dealing with internal affairs is a tiring task in itself.

Especially the recent power changes in the Land of Fire, as well as the army of monsters and stone statues, Uchiha Madara, etc.

After simply eating some high-calorie food for the march, he buried his head in his desk again.

Until almost eleven o'clock at night, even the ninja on duty at the Hokage Building had changed. He was leaving tiredly and heading home.

Seeing that the lights in his house were still on, Namikaze Minato smiled slightly and felt much more relaxed.

When I opened the door and saw Kushina's back and the food still hot in the kitchen, the fatigue of the day seemed to have disappeared.

"I'm back, thank you for your hard work."

Kushina's stomach was full, and she turned around to go to the kitchen to serve food.

Minato, who was changing his shoes, was startled. He quickly walked over and helped his wife: "Don't move, don't move. I can do it myself."

Kushina couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not the due date yet, it's really..."

Although she said this, Kushina was still very sweet in her heart.

There were so many outstanding men in Konoha back then, and the most outstanding ones were Minato and Miya. Many people chose the cool Miya. To be honest, even she couldn't refuse Uchiha's beauty. But in the end

, it was Minato, the sunny boy who always shrank in front of her, who came into her heart.

She recalled and sighed: "Speaking of which, I heard Lin reply and said that Qi Yue's child has been born. It's a little boy. I don't know if our family is a boy or a girl. Oh, yes, Mio and I seem to have similar due dates?"

Kushina rubbed her belly and tried to calm down Minato Namikaze with family topics.

Minato ate the food and smiled at Kushina: "Boys and girls are fine, well... that guy Yuya already has an older brother, how about we work harder and try to be faster than Mio. Otherwise, both of us

Each child is smaller than Yu Ye's child, we can't lose to him."

Kushina rolled her eyes: "What's there to argue about? If you are older, be older, and if you are younger, you should be favored."

Minato didn't continue to argue, he just laughed. After all, he was just talking to make Kushina happy.

The two of them chatted occasionally, and Minato tried to keep the topic as relaxed as possible so as not to put pressure on Kushina.

But Kushina was still concerned about Minato and said: "The situation is chaotic now, and I see that you are too busy to handle it. What do you say, the third generation senior? How about letting him share some less important things?"

She was also a little worried about whether the Third Hokage would decentralize power, but she was also worried that Minato would be exhausted, so she thought about letting the experienced Third Hokage help temporarily handle some less core matters.

When this topic comes up, Minato's smile distorts, "Let's talk about this later."

The Sarutobi family is now sparsely staffed, and the real inheritance is almost gone.

Sarutobi Asuma, who can be said to be the only heir, survived the battle at the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion, but...

Minato was a little concerned about Asuma's condition and arranged for Kakashi to keep an eye on him.

Although Kakashi did not report anything unusual, and Minato once thought there was nothing wrong, recently, Minato had a vague feeling that things were not simple.

The reason is actually the state of the third generation.

He couldn't explain it clearly, but Minato always felt that the third generation seemed to know something and was hiding it.

Therefore, it is impossible to share worries with the third generation. It would be good if their family's troubles are not exposed and trouble Konoha.

Minato finished eating quickly and took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Across the kitchen, Minato continued chatting with Kushina: "By the way, have you finished reading Jiraiya-sensei's book?"

Kushina was flipping through the manuscript in her hand. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I've read it twice. Ha, aside from some unhealthy descriptions, it's still quite exciting. Naruto... the protagonist...

The name is really good, it would be great if our little Naruto could be as powerful as in the novel."

Minato thought of his teacher's novel and couldn't help but smile.

The teacher's book is indeed not serious.

Although this book is not a serious novel, the description of some plots in it can already show the teacher's proficiency in certain aspects.

Fortunately, both of them are adults and married, otherwise it would really make people blush.

Kushina suddenly remembered: "By the way, is there any news about the teacher recently?"

She also knew that Jiraiya had recently been thinking of other ways to find Uchiha Madara. She had written letters to dissuade him, but he couldn't stop him.

There has been no news for several days. Although this is normal in the intelligence community, as a student, I am still very concerned.

After all, that enemy is Uchiha Madara.

Minato shook his head when he heard this: "There is still no news. I have asked my claws to follow the smell to find it. Now that the ninja world is becoming more and more turbulent, Uchiha Madara should have almost finished digesting the tailed beast. At this time..."

Before he finished speaking, Ōkushina knew what was coming next.

The current Uchiha Madara cannot be defeated by one person. Although I believe in the teacher's ability, if he is not careful.

The two of them gradually fell silent, a little worried.

It was late at night in Konoha, and it was completely quiet after even they fell silent.

However, at this moment, Peng let out a sound.

A cloud of white mist appeared on the table in front of Kushina.

Minato quickly looked back and found a small toad lying on the table.

When he saw the blood on the toad, he loosened his grip——

Bang, the plate fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
