Konoha's Destiny Twins

In the temporary command camp of Luoye City, there was a solemn and heavy atmosphere that made people feel depressed.

Not long ago, intelligence came from ANBU: The troops led by Jiraiya were surrounded and defeated by Sunagakure's army of tens of thousands, and even Jiraiya himself was missing.

Qing Shui caught a glimpse of Minato's clenched fists shaking slightly, and he sighed in his heart: Hey, it's just a fight against Sunagakure, Konoha has already been so passive and suffered huge losses.

Can Konoha like this be able to cope with the war waged by the other three major powers?

What went wrong

Could it be that his butterfly really instigated such a huge change?

Yoshimaru asked seriously: "Senior Jiraiya now doesn't know whether his life or death is unknown, rather than confirming his death, right?"

The ANBU ninja who came to deliver the message solemnly replied: "When Jiraiya-sama finally led several groups of ninjas to break out, I saw with my own eyes that Jiraiya-sama used the Senjutsu Fire Release to open a passage."

Yoshimaru said anxiously: "Then why do you say you are missing?"

"But Sunagakure's encirclement does not only have one floor, but there are tens of thousands of Sunagakure ninjas there."

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Indeed, Jiraiya, who knows senjutsu, is very strong, but there are more than five figures of ninjas facing him.

When the quantity reaches this level, it can be said to be unsolvable.

At least what Shimizu has learned so far is that only the demigod Hanzo has ever defeated 5000 ninjas.

There were no detailed records from a long time ago, so he couldn't guess how strong Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were.

However, this kind of exaggerated and shocking achievement, judging from Shimizu's evaluation of Jiraiya, Jiraiya's current chakra level may not be enough to complete such a terrifying feat.

At this point, everyone present has a strong point in their minds. If Jiraiya does not succeed in breaking through, then I am afraid that

Minato shook his head slowly and patted his cheek heavily, trying to get rid of those negative emotions.

Then very quickly, I heard him say in an extremely firm tone: "Now is not the time to worry about the teacher's whereabouts."

"Since the teacher has been defeated, we can no longer join him."

"I'm afraid the road back to Konoha has been cut off by Sunagakure and now we can only take a detour."

"Our troops are divided into two groups. One group will escort all the wounded to the western theater where Orochimaru-senpai is. The other group will search for any comrades who may still be alive." Minato's voice trembled slightly when he proposed to search and rescue his comrades.

"Senior Fousuke, what do you think?"

"It's a bit risky to return to the place where Jiraiya was defeated." Maruhoshi Kosuke was quite sensible and did not immediately agree to Minato's suggestion.

Feelings are feelings, reality is reality.

Now, the situation on Jiraiya's side is unknown. Tens of thousands of troops are just 50 kilometers away from them.

With so many people passing by, I'm afraid they won't be able to make any waves.

"When did Jiraiya break out?" Maruhoshi Kosuke suddenly asked.

“about 1 hour ago”

"So the opponent must still be sweeping the battlefield, trying to pass through the positions of tens of thousands of ninjas without being discovered."

This is impossible, at least among their group, no one has such a superb stealth ninjutsu without being discovered.

Whoever goes there will die.

Yoshimaru wanted to stop Minato's crazy idea and said, "Minato is taking too many risks."

"What do you think, Qing Shui?" Minato was unmoved.

"We all know who is going to die," Qingshui said directly.

Such a straightforward blow made Minato's originally tenacious aura dim in an instant.

"But we don't need to confront Sunagakure's army head-on. If it's just to detect intelligence and rescue people, then it's just the two of us," Qingshui said, looking directly into Minato's eyes.

Once surrounded, it is impossible to escape at the speed of ordinary ninjas. Only Shimizu and Minato can rely on their super speed to have the possibility of escape.

Of course, Qing Shui dared to say this because according to the development of the plot, he firmly believed that Jiraiya would not simply fall here.

If it is just a peripheral investigation, the danger is indeed not as exaggerated as imagined.

And maybe we can find the whereabouts of Jiraiya who escaped in time.

Yoshimaru was a little surprised and said: "Shimizu you"

Yoshimaru soon thought of something and immediately said, "Okay, it's true that it's just the two of you."

"Are you sure?" Gu Jie asked in a deep voice.

This matter was no small matter. He didn't want his precious apprentice to escape from the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth later.

"No problem. I have sense."

"Since you said that, it depends on what you plan to do." Gu Jie also relaxed.

"It's just that I want to know why Sunagakure's army can surround Jiraiya-senpai's troops without anyone noticing. It's impossible for Jiraiya-senpai to take the investigation lightly," Qingshui said doubtfully.

"This is really sudden, the enemy seems to appear out of thin air."

Sure enough, it's because of the Southwest Border Tunnel problem.

But Konoha has clearly stepped up its investigation of the southwest border.

Why didn't Jiraiya receive any information at all?

"I'm afraid Konoha's intelligence system has been completely exposed." Qingshui sighed, "It's Fallen Leaf City again, and it's Jiraiya-senpai Sunagakure who is cutting off Konoha's peripheral power bit by bit."

So I'm afraid Orochimaru-senpai's unit will also be in danger next.

"Is it impossible to attack directly at Platycodon Castle?" Yoshimaru said suddenly, "Sunagakure's army is less than 2 days away from Platycodon Castle."

impossible

This is the subconscious reaction in everyone's mind.

Even if they knew that Sunagakure's ultimate goal was Platycodon Castle, now, Sunagakure's troops of just over [-] dared to attack Platycodon Castle.

You must know that even if the war in Konoha continues to be unfavorable, the total number of ninjas is several times that of Sunagakure.

It can be said that the strength of Platycodon City and Konoha Village has remained intact.

Where does Sunagakure have the confidence to hit a rock with an egg?

"Yoshimaru, take everyone in Fallen Leaf City and rush to Senior Orochimaru as quickly as possible and inform him of the possible danger."

"Besides, I think our movements will most likely be known to Sunagakure, so I asked Kosuke-senpai to keep an eye on us along the way."

"No problem." Kosuke agreed readily, and then asked, "Jiraiya, are you two enough?"

Qing Shui thought for a while and shouted back: "The fewer people there are, the better. But it's best to send a small team to respond on the outside. If someone is found to need treatment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for just the two of us to handle it."

This mission doesn’t just end with the two of them just strolling around for a while.

It is really possible for them to find Konoha ninjas who are still alive. If they need help then, it will be more convenient if there is someone to support them.

"Then it's settled." Minato finally finalized the battle plan.
