Chapter 239: First Encounter
There was a hint of tension in the air.
Team after team of Konoha Ninjas left the village. Tsunade and Jiraiya also set out from one direction and headed to the active area of Akatsuki.
On the way, there were Sensory Ninjas or Scouting Ninjas, messenger pigeons, and reports on the positions of each team.
Tsunade just listened to them casually.
Uehara also casually leaked the information to Kabuto, Kisame, and Impure World Reincarnation Hokage and arranged for them to move to their positions at any time.
“Jiraiya’s team has already rushed to the northwest direction. They are expected to arrive at the point where they are moving. Before that, Third and Fourth Hokage will immediately intercept them. Kabuto, you are responsible for monitoring the battle between them!”ReadNovelFull.com
“Understood!”
“Tsunade and my team are rushing to the northeast direction. They are expected to arrive at the place where we are moving. Second Hokage will immediately come to intercept us. Kabuto, do you have any suitable people on your side? I am afraid that I will be too heavy-handed…”
“Understood.”
Kabuto hurriedly summoned a coffin and whispered, “Second Hokage and Second Mizukage are ninjas who are good at water ninjutsu. If Naraku-sama wanted to hide his strength, they should be able to fight against Tsunade-sama’s team.”
“Well done.”
Uehara really had to admire Kabuto’s imagination. The combination of Second Hokage and Second Mizukage, both of them were very good at water ninjutsu, and they could definitely fight against Tsunade, Terumi, and Gaara!
After dealing with the two main teams, Uehara immediately began to send information to Kisame and Itachi about the other teams, “Guy and Kakashi’s Team did not separate. They are rushing in your direction.”
“IGot it.”
Kisame grinned and nodded with a smile.
Uehara was a little worried. He said in a low voice, “I remember that Deidara and Sasori’s Shapeshifting Technique puppets are nearby. Let them attract the attention of other Konoha Ninjas. Kisame, Itachi, Haku, Kimimaro, Sasuke, prepare to fight Kakashi and Guy!”
Uehara was really busy.
He needed to worry about the situation of several battlefields.
The feeling of playing chess with myself was really bad.
Fortunately, the only interesting thing was that he could control the situation of the battlefield and could add a chess piece at any time and also remove a chess piece at any time.
Moreover, scaring Tsunade was very fun.
For example, after Konoha’s Sensory Ninjas found the figures of Sasori and Deidara, they immediately reported to Tsunade. On the battlefield, there were two more members of Akatsuki’s organization that were not in the range of encirclement, so would this encirclement battle plan still be followed?
“Stick to the plan!”
Tsunade gritted her teeth and said coldly, “Jiraiya and I, the two teams responsible for the battle, can be divided into four teams at any time. It doesn’t matter if there are two more people!”
“Yes, Hokage-sama!”
The Sensory Ninja left in a hurry.
Tsunade glanced at her team members. Terumi and Gaara looked a little anxious. Uehara seemed to be more anxious than them.
Was this kid afraid?
Just as Tsunade turned her head, a Kunai suddenly shot towards her from the jungle, shocking everyone!
Uehara loudly reminded, “Be careful!”
“Don’t make such a fuss…”
Tsunade tilted her head lightly, avoiding the incoming Kunai. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a familiar Clan emblem in the corner of her eyes.
This was the mark of the Senju Clan!
This Kunai was owned by a Senju Clan Ninja!
The next second, Tsunade suddenly remembered that not many Ninjas liked to leave their mark on Kunai because it was too easy to lose.
Apart from Second and Fourth Hokage, the two Flying Thunder G.o.ds users, no one else seemed to have the habit of leaving a mark on Kunai.
Even her grandfather Hashirama!
Sou!
A ninja wearing leather armor appeared out of thin air. He grabbed the Kunai with the mark and swung at Tsunade’s neck! This attack came so suddenly that no one present could imagine it!
Tsunade waved her arm to block the incoming Kunai. Her eyes stared at the ninja who suddenly appeared and murmured, “Is it… Second Grandpa?”
Even Tsunade never expected that Tobirama would appear here!
If she remembered correctly, they should be surrounding Akatsuki. Why did it feel like they were surrounding Orochimaru?
Tobirama appeared here…
It was really f*cking strange!
Unfortunately, this Second Hokage did not have his own will at all. He only attacked freely and spat out a bunch of water needles, “Suiton, Tenkyū (Water Release: Heavenly Weeping)!”
These water needles were too fast, and before Tsunade could dodge or defend, they directly hit Tsunade’s arm and shoulder!
“Ah!”
Tsunade angrily waved her fist and punched Tobirama, but what greeted her was a kick!
Tsunade was kicked away!
Even if one’s will was destroyed, those familiar combat experiences could still crush Tsunade. Back then, Tobirama, who had come out in the Chunin exam, could suppress Hiruzen, let alone now that he was close to the peak using White Zetsu’s as sacrifice!
Fortunately, at this time, Terumi, Gaara, and Uehara reacted. They quickly stepped forward to stop Tobirama’s attack and save Tsunade who had been attacked.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on!”
Terumi looked at Tobirama, who was standing opposite them, and her face was extremely ugly, “Hokage-dono, why is your country’s Second Hokage here? Didn’t you say that we were going to surround Akatsuki?”
“…”
Tsunade nestled in Uehara’s arms, allowing Uehara to pull out the water needle and treat her wound.
Tsunade’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip out. She thought of her old friend, “Maybe Orochimaru did not die and became a member of Akatsuki again…”
“All right.”
Uehara’s palm was glowing with a green light. After stroking Tsunade’s arm and healing her wound, he said softly, “What should we do now that Second Hokage appeared here?”
“It’s not just Second Hokage.”
A voice suddenly interrupted Uehara.
Terumi saw another figure appear beside Second Hokage Tobirama. Her face also became a little gloomy, “Our Kirigakure’s Second Mizukage is also here…”
“…”
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
Uehara slowly lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “Tsunade, our team is unlikely to partic.i.p.ate in the battle against Akatsuki. We have to find out what happened on the battlefield!”
“Yes.”
Tsunade slowly nodded and stood up. “We encountered Second Grandfather and Second Mizukage. Will Jiraiya meet First Grandfather?”
If Jiraiya’s team met First Hokage, they would definitely not be a match for First Hokage. They could even be hung up and beaten with one hand!
However, Tsunade was worrying about nothing.
Jiraiya indeed did not meet First Hokage.
However, if he let Jiraiya choose, maybe he would think that First Hokage was not bad. Anyway, he did not want to face the two enemies that appeared around his team…
“Third Hokage-sama!”
There was a bit of cold sweat on Shikaku’s face. He looked at the short old man who suddenly appeared and ambushed them, and he began to worry.
After all, his strategy was based on the level of intelligence!
Now that this main force was actually entangled, who would be responsible for the battle?
If it were only Third Hokage Hiruzen, it would be fine, but a golden-haired man wearing a royal robe stood beside Hiruzen.
Choza narrowed his eyes and sighed faintly, “It’s been a long time… Minato.”
“Tsk, how troublesome!”
Jiraiya touched his chin and looked impatiently at Third and Fourth Hokage, “These two guys are here to stop us from attacking Akatsuki?”
“That should be it!”
Shikaku nodded and said in a deep voice, “If the information is right, only one of Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru, can use Impure World Reincarnation in the whole world.”
“Ah, that’s about it.”
Jiraiya stretched, slowly clenched his fist, and said a messy tongue twister, “It’s really interesting! My friend controlled my Sensei and my student to attack me…”
This sentence was a little playful.
Everyone present could hear the sorrow in Jiraiya’s optimistic att.i.tude. Perhaps this was already the most painful thing in life?
Orochimaru was Jiraiya’s friend, Hiruzen was Jiraiya’s Sensei, Minato was Jiraiya’s Student, and now they were all standing on the opposite side of Jiraiya!
“Well, let’s talk about tactics!”
Jiraiya’s face gradually became serious. He looked at the people around him, and said in a low voice, “You are also very clear about the Ninjutsu of the old man and Minato…
So we have to find a way to separate them from each other. Otherwise, under the Flying Thunder G.o.d technique of Minato, I am not sure that we can block the old man’s Ninjutsu. “
“Yes.”
After Shikaku nodded for a long time, he suddenly said, “Jiraiya-sama, if we meet Third and Fourth here, then it is very likely that Tsunade-sama’s team will also be attacked. The enemies they meet might be the First and Second Hokage…”
“… We can’t rule out this possibility.”
Jiraiya nodded and looked at Hiruzen and Minato in the distance. He rubbed his wrist and said, “There is no other way. We have to get rid of them as soon as possible and support Tsunade. We have to protect the living!”
