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 trembling 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 countries? ’

‘What exactly went wrong? ’

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

Yoshimaru asked seriously: "Senior Jiraiya now doesn't know whether he's alive or dead? It's not about confirming 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... there is not only one layer of Sunagakure's encirclement... 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 Qingshui has learned so far is that only the demigod Hanzo has ever defeated 5,000 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 shockingly exaggerated achievement, judging from Shimizu's evaluation of Jiraiya - Jiraiya's current amount of chakra may not be enough to complete such a terrifying feat...

At this point, everyone present had a problem in their minds. If Jiraiya didn't succeed in breaking through, then I'm afraid...

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... 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 for and rescue his comrades.

"Senior Fousuke, what do you think?"

"Returning to the place where Jiraiya was defeated? This is a bit risky..." 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 through?" Maruhoshi Kosuke suddenly asked.

"About an 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... this is too risky."

"Qingshui, what do you think?" 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 we just want to collect information and save people, then it's just the two of us..." Qing Shui 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: "Qingshui, 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 enter the tiger's mouth later.

"No problem. I have sense."

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

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

"About this...it's really sudden, the enemy seems to appear out of thin air..."

Is it really because of the problem of the Southwest Border Tunnel?

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 again... Sunagakure is cutting off Konoha's peripheral power bit by bit..."

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

"Is it impossible to attack Platycodon Castle directly?" 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 he knew that Sunagakure's ultimate goal was Platycodon Castle...but now, Sunagakure's troops of just over 10,000 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."

"In addition... I think there is a high probability that Sunagakure will know about our movements... so along the way... I ask you, Fousuke-senpai, to keep an eye on us."

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

Qingshui thought for a while and shouted back: "The fewer people, the better... But it's best to send a team of people to respond outside... If someone is found to need treatment, it might 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... Then if they need help then... it will indeed be more convenient if there is someone to support them.

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