Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Ever since the last time I was at the sacred place of Mount Myōboku, I heard the Great Toad Sage say that he could no longer see the future.

Jiraiya went through a period of confusion. But he eventually found his goal again. Then he received news from Konoha Anbu and rushed over, finally catching up at the last minute.

The Toad Boss Bunta appeared and instantly killed the giant snake which did not have much intelligence.

This greatly shocked the entire Konoha ninja. The Sand Ninja on the other side obviously had no ability to resist Jiraiya.

According to the plan, Jiraiya should have faced their strategic weapon, the tailed beast. But for some reason, the tailed beast appeared. But when they entered Konoha, they found that their own tailed beast was not there at all.

Isn't this a rip off!!!

Jiraiya easily resolved the crisis here and then rushed to the next location.

In fact, what he was most worried about was the old man.

Jiraiya has been a partner with Orochimaru for many years. He actually knows Orochimaru very well and can even guess the purpose of his return. Therefore, he wants to rush to the stadium as soon as possible.

But at this time, what he didn't notice was that in an inconspicuous courtyard in Konoha, Yumi's figure was looking at him.

Yumi did not participate in the battle, but she and Sakura set up a temporary treatment center. A large number of injured ninja civilians were sent to the vicinity of Aoba's house.

Here, Yumi and Sakura built a temporary shelter. At this time, Konoha Hospital was already overcrowded.

Hospitals were the main targets of attack. When the war started, they were attacked. The damage was quite serious. The medical system has been destroyed.

In this way, Yumi and Sakura quickly became the best choices.

At first, most of the ninjas didn't believe the two young female ninjas, but after Haruno Sakura showed her proficiency in the Palm Fairy Technique, there were no more doubts.

Most of the wounded were external injuries. Palm Immortal Technique was the best treatment method. And for some reason, the two of them seemed tireless. Chakra seemed endless. After treating hundreds of people in a row, they didn't stop.

Yumi saw Jiraiya rushing to the stadium from a distance, and stood up and walked into the house.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Hidan was already eagerly waiting.

"Have you memorized all the details?"

"Remember it clearly."

"Very good, this is Qingye's order. Now, let's begin."

"Understood." Feidan showed a fanatical expression on his face. He disappeared into the house with a flash of his body.

Jiraiya's speed was not fast. The main reason was that there were too many battlefields along the way. Although Konoha was strong.

But the peace lasted too long, and the enemy was caught off guard. Many places were lost. The large number of Konoha defenders made it difficult to fight.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of high-end combat power in Konoha.

Not to mention, White Fang, the Sannin, the Fourth Hokage, and even the Uchiha forces, any one of them has the power to turn the tide of the battle.

But now, Jiraiya is the only one left, and it really makes him feel a little overwhelmed.

On the other hand, Feidan had no such concerns because his mission was not to save Konoha.

Hidan quickly approached the stadium. His goal was to intercept Jiraiya. However, he did not expect Jiraiya to be much slower than he had imagined. As a result, when Hidan arrived, he did not see Jiraiya. However, he saw the other two secondary targets.

................

Outside the village, the battle between Aoba and Shukaku has reached a fever pitch.

Among the nine tailed beasts, Shukaku's combat power is neither the strongest nor the weakest. It is considered to be of medium level.

While Aoba was using the Yellow Spring Swamp to trap the opponent, if he had used Lightning Release, he would have had a chance to severely injure or even kill Shukaku.

However, Aoba did not choose this tactic in the end. One reason is that the existence of the tailed beasts is actually between energy and matter. In addition, their huge size makes it very difficult to kill them completely.

Moreover, if this thing is killed now, it will be resurrected in a few years, which will be another troublesome matter.

Another reason is that Aoba himself did not come here to kill the tailed beast.

Trapped in the swamp, Shukaku was furious and condensed a Tailed Beast Ball. Qingye didn't dare to take this thing casually.

Even in Sage Mode, this thing is too dangerous.

In fact, the only person who could face the Tailed Beast Ball head-on was Hashirama Senju, who used the Woodman Technique.

The main reason was that at that time, the Nine-Tailed Fox was like a rabbit in front of the wooden man, so the Tailed Beast Ball was naturally nothing.

Yomiuri Marsh injected a large amount of chakra again, causing Shukaku's body to sink suddenly.

His head was unbalanced and raised up, and the Tailed Beast Ball that had just been charged shot diagonally directly to the opposite hilltop.

The violent explosion flattened the entire mountain in an instant. Qingye was also sweating coldly when he saw it. This thing doesn't say anything else, as long as Shukaku shoots at the ground in front of him.

There was no other way for him to deal with it except to use Flying Thunder God to run away.

The Flying Thunder God's technique of teleporting the Tailed Beast Ball like the Fourth Hokage was too advanced, and he was not able to perform it yet.

Aoba avoided the Tailed Beast Ball and took advantage of the situation to jump directly onto Shukaku's head.

At the same time, two scrolls appeared in his hands. The scrolls unfolded in a cross shape and fell on Shukaku's head.

Shukaku obviously sensed something was wrong and shook his head angrily, trying to throw Aoba off.

Qingye stood firmly on his feet, and pressed his right hand on the center of the intersection of the two scrolls.

"Energy absorbing seal."

A special sealing technique. Originally, it was a special sealing technique that could absorb the chakra of others and seal it.

Because of its low practical value, it was not popular. However, Aoba later strengthened this technique. He even made a scroll in advance and combined it with his own chakra to maximize the power of this technique.

He wants to use this technique to steal Shukaku's chakra.

The tailed beasts have a lot of chakra. Standing next to it, one can feel the chakra that escapes from it. But this is not what Aoba wants.

These chakras are only the external manifestations of the tailed beasts. The true origin of the tailed beasts is essentially the part of the ten-tailed chakra that was separated by the Six Paths Sage.

The Six Paths Sage sealed the body of the Ten-Tails on the moon, divided the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts, and evolved them into the current nine tailed beasts.

This is also the reason why Akatsuki wants to capture the tailed beasts. It is not that the Ten-Tails needs the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts to be resurrected. It is that the Nine Tailed Beasts themselves are part of the Ten-Tails.

What Aoba wants is the origin hidden in the bodies of the tailed beasts, the original Ten Tails chakra that constitutes these special immortal life forms.

Chakra is something that the tailed beasts can easily gather in quantities that even a hundred ninjas cannot muster. But this is just chakra.

Aoba's current behavior is almost equivalent to cutting a piece of meat from Shukaku, and it is cut from the heart.
