Island of the Mist!
I wonder if Fujiwara Tetsuya, Jiraiya and his group were just incredibly lucky!
Or was it intentional on the part of the upper class?
It only took a few tens of minutes!
They discovered a small outpost abandoned by Kirigakure!
Inside the cave! Scattered among them were many loose scrolls!
The above content is all related to the ninjas of Uzugakure!
"Lord Jiraiya! The footprints on the ground were left recently!"
"It's clear the people from Kirigakure had just left not long ago!"
"It seems the people of Kirigakure have discovered us!"
"These things! They were most likely left behind on purpose!"
As Jonin of Konoha, both of them possess unimaginable insight!
Just a few glances!
They guessed the plans of the Mist Ninja stationed on Mist Island!
"Kids! Prepare for battle!"
"If necessary, disperse and regroup at the sea vessel!"
Just as Jiraiya finished speaking!
Above the cave where Fujiwara Tetsuya and the others were located, an unimaginable roar suddenly erupted!
Without a doubt!
The ninjas from Kirigakure had already set up a large number of explosive tags up there!
"Go! Charge out!"
Looking at the rocks constantly falling from above!
Jiraiya's expression darkened slightly as he charged to the front!
They kept clearing a path for Tetsuya Fujiwara and his group!
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall"
At the critical moment! The earthen walls rose up on all sides!
At the moment the cave completely collapsed!
They sheltered several people!
However! Although he survived!
The group was completely buried beneath the cave by the thick rubble above!
In such a narrow space!
Once the oxygen runs out, death awaits them as well!
"Renxiong's disciple! He's not all that great!"
"They even fell for such a simple trap!"
"It seems that Konoha is gradually embarking on the road to decline!"
Accompanied by a flurry of footsteps!
The Upper Eighth Rank led dozens of Mist Ninja and instantly appeared on the outer edge of the collapsed cave.
He looked at all of this with a slightly mocking gaze!
"A high-ranking official!"
"Let's be cautious! I have a feeling those Konoha ninjas won't die so easily!"
Do I need you to remind me of that?
"If it were really that easy to die, why would I have brought you all here?"
"Should we send them off to their funeral?"
Looking at his subordinates beside him!
A hint of displeasure flashed in Shangbaliu's eyes!
Someone as shrewd and wise as him! Steady and composed! A seasoned and powerful individual!
Why do these idiots think this way?!
He's like a reckless guy!
"Someone's here!"
"There are quite a few! At least forty or more!"
Within the space constructed of earthen walls!
The oil-woman wooden figure constantly sensed the surrounding scene!
After sensing the powerful auras not far away!
My body trembled involuntarily!
"As expected! We're surrounded!"
"True Self Jonin! When they charge out later, I'll stop them!"
"Take these three brats and get back to the ship!"
"Although we are unwilling, our reconnaissance mission has to come to an end for now!"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group were preparing for battle!
Jiraiya suddenly stood in front of everyone!
A powerful chakra flowed continuously throughout his body!
It gives people a sense of peace of mind!
Jiraiya-sama!
Have you come this far?
As a veteran Jonin!
On the path of the ninja!
Yuhi Shinwa knows far more than Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other two!
I immediately understood!
This disciple of the Hokage has already reached the pinnacle of the Quasi-Kage level!
Reaching the level of a Shadow Master? Perhaps! It's just a matter of taking that final step!
I compared myself to Jiraiya and realized the difference between us!
Sunset True Self nodded in agreement with Jiraiya's arrangement!
"Alright! Ready, kids!"
"Earth Escape: Earth Dragon Bullet"
Under violent shaking!
A thick earthen dragon, about the same height as an adult male!
They kept peeking out from under Jiraiya's feet!
With a whoosh, it broke through layers of rubble, clearing a path to the outside world for everyone!
Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet
The instant you step out of the cave!
Jiraiya's berserk fire jutsu!
In an instant, they attacked the numerous Mist Ninjas lurking in the mist not far away!
Countless wisps of mist! Under the scorching heat of the fire release technique, the moisture evaporated rapidly!
"Fire Release!"
"Unfortunately! This is my Hidden Mist Village's home ground!"
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall"
Facing a fire-style ninjutsu that's within arm's reach!
Two powerful Mist Ninja swiftly stepped forward!
The massive wall of water kept the scorching flames several meters away from Shangbaliu!
"I'll deal with Jiraiya!"
"You guys! Send out a few small teams and have some fun with those brats from Konoha!"
"Remember! Let them experience the terror of Kirigakure before they die!"
Looking at the opponent so close at hand!
The fighting spirit ingrained in the bones of the elite!
It's finally been exposed!
Madness! Slaughter! Coldness!
Such complex energies! All appearing in the same person!
"Corpse Bone Pulse - Ten Fingers Pierced by Bullets"
Upper Eight! Full name: Kaguya Upper Eight!
Awakened by the Corpse Bone Pulse!
A powerhouse at the Quasi-Kage level!
It is precisely because they are from a powerful clan in Kirigakure!
And its terrifying strength!
That's how Kaguya, a member of the Eighth Rank, secured the mission targeting the Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki Clan!
"A powerful member of the Kaguya clan... huh!"
Watching the figure rushing towards them!
Jiraiya's gaze became incredibly solemn!
Unexpected!
On this tiny, misty island!
There's actually a powerful expert of this caliber in charge!
Kids from Squad Thirteen!
Try your best to survive! Until the moment I arrive!
"Spirit Spell!"
Amidst the horrified gazes of the many Mist Ninja!
A giant toad, tens of meters tall, fell from the sky!
The entire Misty Island!
They all seemed to tremble because of this terrifying power!
"Jiraiya! Is there an enemy?!"
"Okay! Thank you for your help, Hiro!"
"Things are complicated! I won't go into details with you!"
"Now I need your help to defeat these enemies in front of me!"
"I will do my best!"
The moment Gamahiro drew his sword!
Terrifying gusts of wind swept in all directions!
Countless ancient trees collapsed under this terrifying force!
"Hey! Is this still a summoned beast?!"
"There's actually such a size!"
"What's there to be afraid of! We have a high-ranking official here!"
"We will definitely win!"
Perhaps it was due to their trust in Kaguya's strength as a high-ranking official!
The Mist Ninja on the periphery did not launch an attack on Gamahiro!
They only retreated a few dozen meters!
Silently gazing at the battlefield ahead!
"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Willow"
The power granted to ninjas by bloodline limits is absolutely extraordinary!
Facing the heavy blade of Gamahiro!
Kaguya, despite being in the eighth rank, showed no sign of being at a disadvantage!
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
"That's right! That's exactly it!"
"Jiraiya! Please me to your heart's content!"
"I, Kaguya, am a member of the eighth rank, and I will give you a magnificent end!"
"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Shield"
While Jiraiya, Gamahiro, and Kaguya were engaged in a fierce battle at the Upper Eight Ranks!
Four Mist Ninja squads! They are also rapidly approaching Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group of four!
