After the smoke dissipated, he saw that Naruto had regained consciousness, standing proudly on the vines of the Tree World. His aura had changed, and he was no longer confused.
"Sure enough … you've regained consciousness? But … even if you've regained consciousness, your current strength is nothing to me. Without Sage Mode, without Kyuubi's power, how can you compete with me? Hmph! "
Naruto looked at Shen indifferently, then jumped in front of him. He stared at Shen but didn't speak first.
"Do you understand what hatred is? If you don't understand the same pain, you can't really understand others. Even if you understand, you may not be able to understand each other. This is the truth! Just like how your pursuit of Sasuke is futile … Forget it. I have nothing to say to you. You can't change anything now. Since you're standing in front of me now, let's end this! "
"Sure enough, you still want to fight? Then there's no other way. Although I know I'm not your opponent, I still have to stop you! "
"Oh? Why are you stopping me? With the Rasengan Shuriken you just learned? Without Sage Mode, even if you learned a tricky Ninjutsu like Rasengan Shuriken, it's not perfect. I think you can use it twice at most, and you have to get close to me to use it. Do you think you have a chance? "Shen coldly snorted and said indifferently, and his feet began to slowly walk toward Naruto.
However, just as Shen was about to attack Naruto, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Naruto, protecting him behind him.
The sudden appearance of the figure made Shen's eyes freeze. He stopped sprinting and looked at the person who just appeared in front of him.
He had a white ponytail, and his hair was slightly fluffy. He was wearing a loose coat commonly seen on Japanese uncles, a pair of wooden clogs and slippers, and dark red lines around his eyes. However, the most eye-catching thing was the two old toads on his shoulders that had already merged with him.
"Jiraiya …" Shen stared at the uncle who suddenly appeared between him and Naruto. After thinking for a while, his eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously said.
"Oh, it seems that Jiraiya's reputation among the younger generation is pretty good." Jiraiya said jokingly, then turned to look at Naruto. "Naruto, this level of battle is too early for you. Go back to the village first, and leave the rest to me!"
Naruto was also surprised by Jiraiya's new appearance, but he also knew that it wasn't the time to be curious. Although he wanted to refute and stay, after seeing Jiraiya's dignified eyes, he knew that it was useless to stay here. Instead, he would drag Jiraiya, so he gritted his teeth and finally left.
"One of Konoha's Sannin, Jiraiya the Mad Demon, naturally, I've been looking forward to meeting him for a long time." Looking at Naruto's departure, Shen didn't intend to stop him. Instead, he continued Jiraiya's previous words. He has no reason to kill Naruto. Besides, Jiraiya, who has Sage Mode, is not easy to deal with. It's a bit unrealistic to kill Naruto in front of him.
"Oh?" After Naruto left, Jiraiya's eyes narrowed. He put away his relaxed expression and looked at the boy in front of him again. "Uchiha Chen, you're really dangerous. I didn't expect you to find Konoha!"
Not long ago, in the woods not far from Konoha's battlefield …
"Boom!" With a loud noise, Konoha's Ninja, who was rushing back to the village, suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the source of the noise. "That's … Konoha's direction! What happened? It actually made such a big noise. It seems that the situation in the village isn't good! Originally, I went to Yukage Village to inquire about the leader of Akatsuki, but I didn't manage to collect much useful information. This time, the village seems to have been attacked again. It's really bad. "
Originally, Jiraiya went out to perform the task of collecting information about Akatsuki's leader. However, after sneaking into Yukage Village, he didn't manage to get any useful information from some small fry. He only learned that Yukage Village's Ninja worshipped their leader so much that they blindly called him "God"!
However, at that time, Pain went to Jiraiya's location in order to get Kyuubi's power. So, although Jiraiya tried his best to sneak into Yukage Village, he couldn't meet Pain face to face, so he didn't get any useful information.
Jiraiya looked at the smoke rising in the direction of Konoha. His originally unhurried speed was suddenly increased by a lot. Before he could go far, the sounds coming from the distance made him even more anxious.
"Summoning Jutsu!" While stepping on wooden clogs and slippers, Jiraiya didn't forget to make hand seals to summon the contact frog, and then hurriedly ordered: "Go to Konoha and see what happened!"
"Jiraiya-sama, before you summoned me, I was still in Konoha Village. It was too scary. The village was divided into two halves, and Kyuubi's Bijuudama bombarded the entire ground at the intersection of the village. If it wasn't for the ninja who could use Mokuton to block it, the Bijuudama would have hit the center of the village, but … that ninja is also dead!" After seeing Jiraiya, the contact frog, who had just emerged, replied with a lingering fear.
"Kyuubi? Mokuton? You mean that guy Yamato is dead? " Hearing this, Jiraiya was a little surprised. Although Yamato was a Jonin, he wasn't an ordinary Jonin. Besides, to be able to kill an elite Jonin with Mokuton in the village, the attacker wasn't simple. Thinking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Yes, the one who attacked the village was a young man from the Uchiha Clan named Uchiha Chen, and Sasuke's group. They were your disciple Uzumaki Naruto's companions in the Ninja Academy." After calming down a little, the contact frog began to tell Jiraiya about Chen. "Uchiha Chen came with Sasuke and a few others. They have now formed an organization called Eagle. According to the ninjas who escaped from Root, Danzo also died in the hands of Sasuke in the battle at night."
"Uchiha Chen … it's him! Damn, Konoha is in trouble! " Hearing the news of Danzo's death, Jiraiya couldn't believe it. But what made him even more shocked was that the one who attacked Konoha was Uchiha Chen.
"That Uchiha Chen is indeed difficult to deal with. Not only is he proficient in many attributes of Ninjutsu, but his Chakra control is also at a level that ordinary people can't reach. He also has Kyuubi's help. It doesn't seem like the relationship between Naruto and Kyuubi. Kyuubi is simply obedient to him …" The contact frog didn't directly answer Jiraiya's question, but reported the information that Jiraiya needed the most at the moment.
"I know, I know more about him than you!" After saying that, Jiraiya clasped his hands together, and a transparent shimmer flashed in his palms.
"Jiraiya-sama, are you … going to summon those two …?" The contact frog was puzzled.
"If the opponent is Uchiha Chen, it will be difficult for me to win in my current state. If I wait until I fight with Chen in Konoha, with his means, it will be difficult for me to complete the summoning. So … it's better to ask the two of them to come out now. You go first, don't follow me!" As soon as his voice fell, Jiraiya maintained the strange posture of clasping his palms together and continued to run towards Konoha.
