Chapter 148: 2 traces of missing-nin

Jiraiya was powerful in sage mode.

If he wants to, he can escape under the siege and suppression of the full combat power of Six Pain, and with insufficient intelligence, he can even kill a few Pains.

The toad sage Fukasaku and Shima sitting on Jiraiya’s shoulders seem to be short in stature, but they were actually the highest combat power that Mount Myuboku contractor can summon. In addition to providing him with natural energy to maintain long-term sage mode, they can also help Jiraiya fights together.

It’s just that after defeating Guy, Uehara’s self-confidence has been greatly improved, and he was sure that he could win.

After all, if it doesn’t work, Uehara can still summon Galio.

It’s just that Jiraiya’s relationship with Akatsuki was complicated.

Uehara didn’t want to fight too fiercely and just wanted to take the rewards for defeating Jiraiya. After all, these rewards would certainly not be too bad.

Uehara looked at Jiraiya and shook his head. He sighed softly, “I respect you very much. My Sensei and elders respect Jiraiya’s personality very much. If they knew that I was against you, they would be very upset with me.”

This sentence was true.

Even though the teacher and student parted ways, Konan always respected Jiraiya in her heart.

“Oh?”

Jiraiya also raised his eyebrows and seemed to have some interest in it, “Unfortunately, I didn’t know a few friends in Amegakure… Many years ago, I received three students in the Country of Rain. But all of them have died in the third Ninja World War.”

“Little Jiraiya.”

Fukasaku suddenly interrupted the communication between them and said solemnly, “Don’t waste time. Gamabunta is still lying in bed! Let’s solve it quickly, the old woman and I have to take care of him!”

“Eh, was Bunta hurt? What’s the matter?”

Jiraiya also cares for his old friend.

Fukasaku nodded and explained in a low voice, “Well, Gamabunta said that little Naruto’s friend injured him, he was called…called…”

“Uehara Naraku.”

Uehara said his name and explained aloud, “Actually, I just want to help Naruto subdue his summoned beast. After all, Jiraiya-sama asked me to help at the time, and that Gamabunta was too smelly and a bit unobedient.”

A person and two toads eyes immediately stared at Uehara.

Jiraiya couldn’t help but patted his forehead and said, “Eh, kid, I didn’t mean that…”

Fukasaku suddenly became a little dissatisfied, “This kid is really troublesome! The summoned beast is a ninja’s partner, not a ninja’s servant…”

Shima couldn’t help but begin to roll up her little sleeves and echoed, “Little Jiraiya, you should really teach a lesson to this kind of kid… Don’t waste your time and solve this battle right away!”

“Understand.”

This battle was impossible to avoid.

The Konoha chaos must be put down immediately.

“Doton, Yomi Numa!” (Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld)

Jiraiya quickly closed his hands to form a hand seal and instantly turned Uehara’s feet into a swamp, trying to limit Uehara’s speed.

However, when this technique was over, Jiraiya looked at Uehara’s feet in amazement. There was no muddy stain at all…

This guy has been flying all the time!

“Can the enemy fly in the air?”

Shima frowned and immediately opened her mouth to spit out a slender tongue toward Uehara, trying to restrain his actions: “Zessenbaku!” (Fighting Tongue Bind)

“Twilight Blade!”

A purple chakra broadsword appeared in Uehara’s hand, trying to cut off the slender tongue with a single sword swing, but the tongue attached to the purple chakra broadsword was extremely tough and tightly entangled his purple chakra broadsword.

“Suiton, Suidanha!” (Water Release: Water Severing Wave)

A long, slender, high-pressure stream of water spewed out from Fukusaka’s mouth and traveled towards Uehara’s body, seeming to want to divide him into two parts!

Uehara simply let go of the purple broadsword, then used Shunpo to appear behind Jiraiya to blast Fukasaka’s head with a punch!

“I’m already prepared for this trick!”

Jiraiya turned abruptly and caught Uehara’s fist, only to feel a huge force coming from it. If it hadn’t been for Jiraiya to start the sage mode now, he even thought that this fist would be a little difficult to resist.

But this still does not hinder Jiraiya from praising, “Your Body Flicker technique is faster than Hanzo, and it is not inferior even to the little guy Minato!”

Yes.

Uehara’s body flicker was very fast.

If it weren’t for knowing that Uehara didn’t leave any Flying Thunder God mark, Jiraiya would even suspect that Uehara had learned Flying Thunder God.

However, since he caught Uehara’s hand, Jiraiya would certainly not give up this chance. The other palm opened quickly, and when his palm was about to slap Uehara’s body, “Senpō, Rasengan!” (Sage Art: Rasengan)

Snapped!

Uehara also grabbed his palm with his other hand, feeling the waves of Rasengan rubbing against the air. He slowly raised his head and looked at the tall Jiraiya and whispered, “No hand seal ninjutsu? You are really amazing, Jiraiya-sama!”

However, the next moment, the Rasengan suddenly disappeared!

An invisible attack sent Uehara flying away!

Kawazu Kumite (Frog Kata), this ability can mobilize natural energy to attack the enemy, and it was impossible to notice.

Uehara glanced at the Frog Kata damage caused to him. His brows wrinkled, his palms quickly formed a hand seal, and a hurricane vortex appeared beside him, “Futon, Howling Gale!”

This hurricane moved quickly in Jiraiya’s direction, dragging Jiraiya and others in the gale.

Jiraiya also frowned and could only attach Chakra under his feet to hold his body so as not to be drag in the gale.

In this way, they could only face Uehara’s attack.

And as expected.

Uehara did not let go of this opportunity, waves appeared under his feet, and these waves instantly rushed in the direction of Jiraiya!

“Not good!”

Jiraiya also looked at the huge waves, his complexion suddenly changed, and he could only use defensive ninjutsu, “Doton, Doryūheki!” (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)

A tall earth wall appeared in front of him!

With chakras underneath his feet, Jiraiya climbed up along the earth wall, looking down at the monstrous waves swept in, and quickly submerged the area around the earth wall.

After a while.

The hurricane gradually dissipated, and the waves also gradually faded.

Fukasaku persuaded in a deep voice, “Little Jiraiya, I understand that you may want to keep this kid alive, but you can’t fight like this. It’s just a waste of time!”

“Yes.”

Shima also persuaded, “Use powerful Sage art right away! This kid is not easy to deal with!”

“Understand!”

Jiraiya flew down and lay down, his long hair spread out in an instant, turning into a hard spike and shooting in Uehara’s direction of Uehara, “Senpo, Kebari Senbon!” (Sage art: Hair Needle Senbon)

“Futon, Wind Barrier!”

Uehara immediately formed a wall of wind, blocking the Hair Needle Senbon attack. The two of them began a ninjutsu competition across the wide ruined land!

For Jiraiya, this obviously entered his rhythm!

After the wind wall disappeared, Jiraiya quickly launched his attack, “Ranjishigami no Jutsu!” (Wild Lion’s Mane Technique)

Jiraiya white hair instantly extended, and after tightly restraining Uehara’s body in the sky, Jiraiya opened his mouth and released out a burst of fire oil, “Senpo, Goemon!” (Sage Art: Bath of Boiling Oil)

Following Jiraiya’s actions, Fukasaku, next to him, opened his mouth and released wind ninjutsu, and Shima released fire ninjutsu!

The flame quickly burned the oil!

Wind helps the fire become stronger!

An overwhelming flame rushed towards Uehara in an instant, and the land was also burned by this monstrous fire wave, and even the fire oil caused an explosion!

The fire wave’s speed was so fast that Uehara couldn’t even find a chance to avoid it!

And this was a completely irresistible technique!

Unless foam was used, it was impossible to extinguish these flames.

Uehara frowned, and a golden cover appeared on his body. At the same time, his body rose rapidly and escaped the flame-burning area.

This was the first enemy to force him to use his invincibility skill since his life, and chakra energy broke 10,000 points!

Sure enough, you can’t underestimate Jiraiya!

If you don’t pay attention, you may be overturned!

Jiraiya’s expression suddenly changed. He looked at Uehara, who was unharmed in the air, “What kind of technique was that? Was it similar to the defensive technique of the Suirō no Jutsu (Water Prison Technique)?”

“Sorry, Jiraiya-sama.”

Uehara raised his palm, and the golden chakra lightsaber floated around him. He looked down at Jiraiya on the ground and said in a deep voice, “I must tell you that you have lost this time. “

The golden lightsaber flew towards the ground!

Jiraiya also hurriedly turned over to evade, only to see a golden lightsaber shot into the ground.

However, these two lightsabers passed through Fukasaku and Shima’s bodies, almost killing the two toad sage!

In other words, these chakra lightsabers were initially directed at them!

Bang!

The two toads dissipated into smoke!

The natural energy in Jiraiya’s body gradually became insufficient, and he had to withdraw from his sage mode. This battle was a bit difficult for him.

Now that Uehara has cracked Jiraiya’s sage mode, he did not hesitate anymore because he has already occupied the victory. The reward for defeating the Sage Mode Jiraiya has been obtained!

The next step was to defeat Jiraiya with fiery momentum like his battle with Guy just now!

Uehara appeared in front of Jiraiya, clenched his fist, and slammed it into Jiraiya!

Bang!

This punch went down but only hit a shadow clone!

Then Uehara was kicked by another Jiraiya who emerged!

Uehara slowly got up, patted the dust on his body, and began to curse in his heart. Why was he always fooled by the enemy’s shadow clone recently?

Ever since Uehara saw Itachi show a wave to Obito with a crow clone, he seems to have been unlucky. Today he was overshadowed by Kakashi’s lightning clone and Jiraiya’s shadow clone.

Jiraiya also looked at Uehara, who was getting up in the distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He whispered, “Little kid, I’m just a little curious. You were able to copy Guy’s ability just now. Why did you not use that technique in me? You have a lot of chakras left, right?”

Uehara patted his body and glanced at Jiraiya speechlessly, but he still replied softly, “Because Jiraiya-sama’s ability is not worth wasting my precious skills.”

This was, of course, nonsense.

Uehara believes that Jiraiya’s power lies in his summoned beast. What if he steals a summoning technique?

Jiraiya’s expression suddenly choked, he squeezed his wrist, and his expression gradually became a little serious, “What a troublesome little guy…”

After losing the Sage Mode, Jiraiya did not actually feel that his strength would be reduced. As an orthodox ninja, his fighting technique was not limited to a certain method.

The means of fighting were far more important than strength.

The sage mode was very powerful, but because of the natural energy produced by the two toad sage, Fukasaku and Shima, it also restricts Jiraiya’s various fighting methods and prevents him from summoning other summoned beasts.

Even if Jiraiya was in a taijutsu match, he must ensure that no one can harm the two toad sage who helps him absorb natural energy.

Facing Uehara, a genius ninja who possesses many rare ninjutsu and unconventional skills, Jiraiya also believes that he must use some unconventional combat methods.

“Kuchiyose no Ju…”

“Jiraiya-sama!”

Just as Jiraiya tried to summon a toad, several Anbu appeared around them to interrupt the battle, “The consultant wants to see him immediately. They will take over from here.!”

Dozens of Anbu ninjas jumped around them, instantly surrounding Uehara!

This time it was Konoha’s Anbu who made a big move!

The Anbu ninja leader came to Jiraiya’s side and explained in a low voice, “The Sandaime-sama have been killed in battle. To calm the people in the village, the consultants believe that Konoha’s next Hokage can no longer be defeated, so they will take over things here… I’m sorry, but for the sake of the overall situation, let us handle it.”

The Two Konoha Senior Consultants decided on this matter.

Because Jiraiya could not defeat Uehara for a long time, the two senior consultants, Koharu and Homura, could no longer let Konoha’s top combat power be defeated to soothe the masses.

Strictly speaking, after Hiruzen died, there was only Jiraiya, a top powerhouse with both prestige and strength.

Now Jiraiya and Uehara have been fighting for a long time. If Jiraiya also overturned the boat in the gutter, it would seriously blow Konoha’s prestige.

Therefore, Koharu and Homura decided to interrupt this battle and no longer pitted against this powerful enemy alone.

I have to say that for Konoha’s situation, the two senior consultants’ approach was understandable. They were just a little cautious, but they can be said to be reasonable.

After the Third Hokage’s death, they desperately needed a top combat power to make the villagers confident.

If the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, they believed, was also defeated, wouldn’t Konoha be in chaos?

How can the First Ninja Village maintain its dignity?

Especially Konoha now has other troubles.

“I will never do something like being a Hokage!”

Jiraiya shook his head. He didn’t like the Hokage position before, and he hated it even more after today.

Jiraiya also solemnly rejected Anbu’s proposal, “Go back and tell them that I will help them find a suitable Hokage candidate!”

“Sorry.”

The Anbu leader rejected Jiraiya’s order and continued, “Jiraiya-sama, for Konoha’s consideration, please abide by the high-level orders.”

“Get out!”

Jiraiya looked at Uehara, who was surrounded, and said solemnly, “Wait until I solve this kid, he is not something you can easily deal with, so step back!”

However, how could the Anbu arrival be unprepared?

The Anbu leader threw a scroll towards Uehara and said, “The consultant has heard that you want to reach an alliance between Konoha and Ame at all costs. Konoha decided to agree to Amegakure’s demand…”

After speaking, the Anbu leader added, “As long as you agree, we will immediately send someone to contact Amegakure to sign an offensive and defensive alliance…”

“…”

Konoha would make such a concession?

Why would they give in?

Uehara was a little confused and didn’t understand why things had progressed to this point.

He felt as if he had shot himself in the foot!

Jiraiya also did not believe about these concessions: “What the hell is going on?”

The Anbu leader leaned into Jiraiya’s ear and whispered, “Jiraiya-sama, the sensory team found two S-class missing-nin traces around the village. One of them is Uchiha Itachi!”
