Konoha's Destiny Twins

"Have you detected the current situation in Fallen Leaf City?" Jiraiya asked in a deep voice.

"We can only confirm that there is currently a Sunagakure army of about 1,000 people attacking Fallen Leaf City, but we don't know the specific situation." A Konoha ANBU ninja replied.

"When did this happen?"

"About half an hour ago."

Jiraiya looked at the bloody battlefield in front of him, frowning, and his mood gradually sank.

Not long ago, the Konoha reinforcements he led encountered another Sunagakure army on the only way to Fallen Leaf City, and the two sides soon started a fierce battle.

But in this way, the mission of rescuing Luoye City was delayed... because the battle here will not end in a short while.

If the enemies here are just some miscellaneous fish, then he can escape immediately and go to the rescue himself.

However, the extremely fierce and dangerous battle now, as well as the news constantly coming from the ANBU, show that the enemy's strength is far superior to them...

As the commander-in-chief of the Konoha army now, he could not put the entire army in danger just because he was eager to save his apprentice.

"Go and call Maruhoshi Kosuke-senpai."

"yes!"

What Jiraiya wants to do now is to ask Shimizu's teacher, Maruhoshi Kosuke, to have this senior with the strength of an elite Jonin lead a small force to set off immediately to rescue Fallen Leaf City.

After all, he has helped Qing Shui before. If Gu Jie sees it, there should be no reason to refuse his request, right?

"That's all it can do..." Jiraiya sighed inwardly.

"Jiraiya, are you looking for me?" Suddenly a middle-aged man appeared in front of Jiraiya.

"Ah...it's Senior Gu Jie. I really need help."

"As the commander-in-chief of this army, you just give the order directly. Why are you beating around the bush like this?" Maruhoshi Kosuke asked strangely.

"Ahem, the old man said he won't let you go on too dangerous missions... It just so happens that this mission is a bit difficult, and I happen to have no one who is trustworthy and strong at the same time... After thinking about it, you are the only one."

"During the war, where are the safe missions? Since I chose to join this war, it is naturally to contribute my meager strength."

"...Okay. Then I'll get it straight. Senior Gusuke, I need you to take 5 groups of ninjas to rescue Luoye City. There are about 1,000 Sunagakure troops there now. We must get there as soon as possible..." Jiraiya paused, and then continued to explain, "The Sunagakure who are fighting us now are unprecedentedly powerful. The mobilization of these five brigades is my limit... There is really no extra power to control here. "

Kosuke Maruhoshi was not surprised at all about the difficulties here. He could also see how difficult and powerful the enemy was, so he turned to ask, "Is it because of Minato and Yoshimaru?"

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly, and said softly: "The enemy is well prepared this time, and Luoye City may not be able to defend it... Can I believe you? Senior Gusuke? No matter what, please be sure to They brought it back..."

Originally Konoha's plan was for Jiraiya to lead an army to rescue Fallen Leaf City, but now such a powerful enemy was killed halfway...

As the commander-in-chief, he could not leave here, so he could only do his best and dispatched five brigades of ninjas to Luoye City for support.

"Okay, I promise you." Maruhoshi Kosuke suddenly sighed and said, "It would be great if Qingshui is still alive..."

Jiraiya paused and said firmly: "About Qingshui, what I learned is that he was only temporarily missing and not killed in battle, because no one said that his body was found."

"Actually, the absence of corpses is the greatest good thing. It means there is still a glimmer of hope."

Gu Jie forced a smile, nodded and said: "Indeed,

Maybe he is recuperating somewhere else at this time..."

It's just that this smile contains too much loneliness and sadness.

Because there was still the second half of the sentence in Gu Jie's mind that he hadn't said out loud, 'Qing Shui's disappearance was just like Zuo Wei at that time. Since then, there has been no news...'

………………

About half an hour ago, in Luoye City, dozens of kilometers away, thousands of Sunagakure troops were approaching the city.

Today's Fallen Leaf City is just a dilapidated fortress, with less than thirty Konoha ninjas who are capable of fighting in a battle, and the rest are injured.

This can be said to be a losing situation.

However, in the face of such a dire situation, Minato still maintained the calmness that an excellent commander should have. At this time, he was calmly issuing orders one after another.

All this is to bring out the maximum strength of their team and kill as many enemies as possible.

As for defeating the enemy's attack, Minato knew that they couldn't do it...

Once before, Sunagakure's large army was completely defeated by the detonating charm trap he set in advance and the nearly invincible Flying Thunder God...

However, how could Sunagakure make the same mistake again...

And now that Konoha's trump cards are out, the enemy must be well prepared this time.

How could the Flying Thunder God defeat this army of thousands of people? !

Looking at the people who were determined to fight to the end with a death wish, a trace of apology flashed in Minato's heart. After all, he did not bring all the remaining companions in Fallen Leaf City to witness the dawn of hope...

"Let's go." Minato calmed down, picked up the kunai, and rushed into the enemy's position first.

Yoshimaru and Satomi followed closely behind.

The square formation formed by the three of them was like a sharp knife, easily tearing apart Sunagakure's position, and then the rest of the Konoha ninjas swarmed forward...

…

………………

"We should go far away." At this time, Qingshui hid in a tree, and he once again avoided a Sunagakure troop.

This is already the third time he has encountered Sunagakure's army, and the size is more than one legion.

If the current perception range hadn't reached over 400 meters, he might have entered the warning range of these Sunagakure troops with such a high-speed advance... Then it would inevitably be another fierce battle.

"But they are all traveling in the same direction...Did something important happen?" Once or twice can be said to be accidental. If there is a third time, this will make people think more. Sunagakure must have some intention by mobilizing troops so frequently.

"This direction is... Platycodon City?"

Also, after all, Sunagakure spent so much time digging that tunnel in the southwest of the Land of Fire and excavating such a huge project. What else could it be for besides plotting Platycodon City?

However, Platycodon City was too far away from him.

His destination was the same as Jiraiya - Fallen Leaf City. There, there are his companions who are still fighting.

After this series of long journeys, Luoye City is finally within easy reach.
