The 'White Intense Technique' didn't last long. When Yakushi Kabuto stopped moving and sensed the 'Susanoo' in front of him, the loud noise and bright light slowly faded away.
Realizing the sound of rushing wind behind him, Yakushi Kabuto didn't hesitate any longer. He quickly fled into the distance, leaving only a voice,
"Jiraiya, for Orochimaru-sama's sake, I spared their lives. But if they aren't treated quickly, they're still in danger."
"Whether you chase me or save their lives depends on your choice."
The sky returned to darkness, and the jungle was silent, without even the slightest sound of insects.
Slowly opening his eyes, Jiraiya wiped away the secretions from the corners of his eyes and scanned the surrounding environment.
Of the two elite Anbu squads, only the two Uchiha members were still standing.
His ears were still ringing slightly, and he didn't hear clearly what Yakushi Kabuto said. But the choice to make in this situation was obvious at a glance.
Sighing slightly in his heart, he knew very well that Yakushi Kabuto had this kind of wide-range offensive Ninjutsu. A group attack was useless. Unable to move in the strong sound and light, continuing would only be a burden.
"You two take care of these injured and take them back to the village to Tsunade."
Jiraiya instructed, "Leave the chase to me."
"Jiraiya-sama, let me go too. I can help."
Uchiha Jinsuke rubbed his red nose and said resentfully,
"Although I don't know why Kabuto suddenly became so strong, that kind of Ninjutsu definitely can't be used frequently."
What he said made sense, but Jiraiya looked at Shisui. Although the Susanoo had been withdrawn early when he opened his eyes, the sudden burst of Chakra couldn't be hidden. He was more inclined to have the stronger Shisui follow.
Seeing Jiraiya's gaze, Shisui shook his head. "Jiraiya-sama, the opponent can fight without sight. My illusions won't work. I'll stay and take care of them."
"Okay."
Time was urgent, and Jiraiya didn't say anything more, directly taking Jinsuke and chasing after him into the distance.
Watching the two disappear into the darkness, Shisui's figure split into seven, instantly bringing back the six unconscious Anbu who were poisoned.
"Orochimaru-sama didn't lie to me. Kabuto already held back."
After checking the injuries of several people, Shisui breathed a sigh of relief. He took out six pills from his ninja pouch and fed them to them separately.
While suppressing the poison, it also allowed the people to sleep more deeply.
Just as Shisui finished these things and was dealing with the Anbu ninja's injuries, the air suddenly twisted, and a hand stretched out from the Uzumaki.
His target wasn't Shisui, but the Anbu ninjas sleeping soundly around him.
Whoosh...
Shisui, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, fired several shurikens without allowing any space in between, but the target was like a phantom. The shurikens passed through and stuck on the charred wood wreckage.
However, the hand that continued to stretch forward came up empty.
Within a small space, Shisui had quickly taken the injured away from the spot.
Watching the hand that retreated back into the void, Shisui's eyes narrowed slightly. Just as Orochimaru-sama said, someone would really be messing around in it, trying to put the blame on Yakushi Kabuto.
"Body Flicker Shisui, not bad speed."
Obito walked out of the Uzumaki, speaking with a hoarse voice, jokingly,
"But it's still a bit worse than the Fourth, and he's still my defeated opponent."
He was lying, but it didn't matter. No one here knew. With a flash, he lunged towards Shisui.
Shisui was expressionless and didn't get angry because of the enemy's wild words. Not only did he not meet him, but he also retreated with the Anbu.
From Obito's point of view, it was like flowers opening, and the six Anbu ninjas scattered in all directions.
Landing on the open space in the forest, Obito scanned the Shisuis around him, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
He didn't expect that after he provoked the opponent, not only did they not launch an attack, but they retreated so thoroughly.
And if Shisui was determined to escape, his speed was not as good as the other party's in a small space. 'Body Flicker Shisui' was not a false name.
Obito made a hand seal, then slowly put it down. The matter here was just an extra, success or failure didn't matter.
That Kabuto guy was being chased by Jiraiya, and if he wasted too much time here and something went wrong over there, it wouldn't be worth the loss.
"Lucky you."
Leaving these words behind, Obito disappeared into the Uzumaki.
Shisui still didn't let down his guard or become careless. He looked around vigilantly, his Sharingan spinning rapidly, flashing with an eerie red light.
...
On the other side, Yakushi Kabuto, who was fleeing quickly, stopped and looked at the man with a similar face to him in confusion, asking,
"Orochimaru-sama?"
'Yakushi Kabuto' nodded slightly,
"What you did tonight was good, but someone is tripping you up. I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of Jiraiya before you lose your ability to fight."
Yakushi Kabuto's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly thought of the strange sensation from before.
Orochimaru smiled. "I hope you can join that organization in your best condition, rather than being forced to."
"I understand." Yakushi Kabuto nodded. "While you hold back Jiraiya-sama, I will take the opportunity to escape."
Swish swish...
Just as the two were talking, Jiraiya and Uchiha Jinsuke behind them caught up, and were slightly stunned when they saw two Yakushi Kabutos on the treetops.
"Tsk... It's really hard to shake you off."
'Yakushi Kabuto' licked his lips. "Can't you let me go for Orochimaru's sake? Do I really have to give you a lesson?"
Another Yakushi Kabuto had the same expression and continued, "Since that's the case, then I'll let Jiraiya-sama see my abilities again."
As he said that, Yakushi Kabuto stomped heavily on the tree trunk, and like a white flash of lightning, he rushed straight toward Uchiha Jinsuke next to Jiraiya...
The two fought and moved further away.
Jiraiya's eyes narrowed slightly. With his keen perception, he couldn't tell which of these Shadow Clones was the real body and which was the clone.
However, the one in front of him had a slightly stronger aura, so the probability of it being the main body was quite high.
He had to deal with him quickly. Uchiha Jinsuke might not be a match for that Shadow Clone. If he was captured by the other party, he would inevitably be restricted later.
With this thought in mind, Jiraiya clasped his hands together and shouted, "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
Crimson flames spewed out, dancing wildly like a raging dragon, covering a large area and enveloping everything in front of him.
Orochimaru immediately jumped off the treetop, making hand seals with both hands, and sank directly into the ground.
Large swaths of bushes and trees were charred by the fire. Jiraiya leaned forward and jumped, came to a devastated ground, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then pressed his large palm on the ground,
"Earth Release: Yellow Spring Marsh!"
In an instant, except for the small piece of land under his feet, everything within dozens of meters turned into muddy ground. If someone was underground, they would be suffocated by the mud.
But Jiraiya's face sank instead. Underneath this ground, there was still a stubborn rock that had not softened into mud.
