Go back in time a few minutes.

When the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, a deep pit about ten meters in diameter appeared in the formation of the Akatsuki members. The raging flames burned the broken limbs of the Akatsuki members who had not had time to escape, destroying these former members.

The dream chasers who were still looking forward to it one day are buried here forever.

Although Jiraiya protected several companions around him and retreated, he was still affected by the explosion because he was too close. The clothes behind him were burned to pieces by the flames, and the hair used to pull his companions became charred black.

They fell off one after another. If the situation at this time was not serious and could not tolerate half-jokes, Jiraiya would have cried a few times for his hair.

"No, are you okay, little girl?"

"what are you saying?"

The girl who was rescued by Jiraiya looked blankly at Jiraiya who was mouthing to her. Dazzling blood slowly flowed from her ears. She tried to stand up with Jiraiya's help.

He got up, but his body was very obviously unbalanced and uncontrollable. Seeing this, Jiraiya immediately shouted to the surroundings:

"Where are the medical ninjas!? Are there any uninjured people among the medical ninjas in charge of logistics? There is someone here who needs treatment urgently!"

The Akatsuki members, who were messed up by the sudden explosion, heard someone calling for help, came to their senses one after another, and began to extend a helping hand to their companions. Although there were many spies and spies from major ninja villages among them, they were very different from each other.

There are still competitions and conflicts, but when faced with such a murderous attack, only by helping each other and trying to survive can we have a chance to pass the information back alive.

"Horin!? Jiraiya-sensei!? Are you okay!?"

Seeing that there was no way for the members of the combat team to properly support Nagato, Yahiko simply called everyone back and firmly protected his companions who had suffered a self-destruction attack, while Konan kept his own

The paper clones spread out in all directions, guarding against possible enemies. At the same time, they came to the two most important people at the moment and asked them anxiously.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Jiraiya threw down his damaged mask, endured the pain on his back and made a reassuring gesture to Konan.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Konan," Uzumaki Rinze stood up from the broken body of an Akatsuki member with a guilty look on his face, and said with a low expression: "I, I have obviously noticed that that person's chakra is very cold.

, it was very dark, but I thought that since his chakra had been sealed, he would not be able to cause any more trouble, so I did not remind everyone around him..."

"It's not your fault, Huo Lin... No one thought that the Root Organization, which has nothing to do with us, would suddenly launch such a reckless attack on us."

Konan stepped forward and hugged Uzumaki Rin, who was several years older than him, and tried his best to comfort the best medical ninja in the organization, while Jiraiya slowly stood up and looked at the distant rain approaching slowly.

There was a dark shadow with a solemn expression on his face.

"With that size and number, it's impossible for all of them to be ninjas at the root... They actually colluded with Hanzo the Sanshouyu of Amegakure Village!? Do they really want to kill you all?"

Yahiko, who came over with several sentient ninjas, heard Jiraiya's words and instantly remembered the bet Kaguya Rei had made with him and others when he invited him and others to attend the Twin Shadow Conference.

.

Am I still too naive after all? It is obvious that Hanzo was a hero who even the ninjas of the enemy country Konoha would recognize and appreciate and gave them the name of Sannin. Why is he so small now that even the ninjas of the enemy country Konoha would recognize and praise them and give them the name of Sannin?

Small organizations with peace as their core purpose can no longer accommodate them?

"Huo Rin, feel out if there is Hanzo's chakra among the ninjas attacking us over there."

Facing Yahiko's overly calm instructions, Uzumaki Rin wiped the traces of rain or tears on her face, closed her eyes, and activated the Kagura Heart Eye. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and said anxiously

:

"No, it's bad, Sansho Hanzo's chakra is not over there. He is heading towards Nagato and those dozen masked guys!"

"Damn it! Is his ultimate goal the ability to threaten his Nagato!?"

Yahiko punched the front angrily, then turned to look at Jiraiya, who had a somewhat troubled expression, and stepped forward with a resolute expression:

"Jiraiya-sensei, please, please go to Nagato and help him."

"But the number of rain ninjas that are approaching over there are at least three times as many as yours, right?" Jiraiya looked at another disciple that he was not particularly optimistic about, and said with a complicated and anxious expression: "If I wasn't here

If you don't, you will all be surrounded and killed by them relying on their numerical advantage!"

"No matter what happens, Nagato is the absolute core that allows Akatsuki's will to spread throughout the ninja world. Only if he survives can the bridge to peace be successfully cast. We can serve as the bridge.

The bridge pier was sacrificed here, but Nagato must not die!"

Yahiko's eyes were firm, and the brilliance contained in them even made Jiraiya feel a little bit of the sting of being burned. He was silent for a while, silently using his psychic technique, summoning Toma Ken, who was good at defensive fighting, and then forcefully

He tightened his grip on Yahiko's shoulders and said in a deep voice to his disciple who was ready for enlightenment:

"Stay alive and you must persist until Nagato and I come back, Yahiko."

"I will do my best, Jiraiya-sensei."

Seeing Yahiko's serious expression without any flinching or wavering, Jiraiya took a deep breath to prevent the tears from falling in his eyes. He turned around and jumped to Gama Takeru's side.

In his hand, he said to the big purple toad with a trembling voice:

"Please, Toadjian, after throwing me over there, please protect these children... This is my lifelong request, please."

"I will try my best. Although I am very stupid, I don't know if I can complete your request well. Jiraiya..."

The giant battle toad nodded to the contractor in his hand, threw Jiraiya forcefully toward the area he pointed out, then turned around slowly, took off his pot-lid-shaped shield, and held it.

Holding his U-shaped harpoon, he stood in front of Yahiko and others.

"I'm here to protect you."

"Not to protect, but to fight side by side!"

Yahiko walked up to Tomatake and gave him a thumbs up.

"Please give me more advice, comrade."

"...Well, comrade."

At this moment, the figures of the rain ninjas had broken through the rain curtain and appeared clearly in the sight of the members of the Akatsuki organization. The members of the Akatsuki organization who were responsible for the battle like Yahiko looked at the densely packed rain ninjas and instinctively swallowed.

He spat nervously, and Konan, who had already calmed down Uzumaki Rin's emotions, had also formed the Seal of Shiki no Mai, and was ready to go forward with his companions to fight the enemy.

"Wait, wait a minute, Xiaonan!"

Uzumaki Huo Rin grabbed Konan's right hand, which was gradually turning into a piece of paper, and shouted at her:

"We, can't we try to find reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements? Where can we find any reinforcements?" Xiaonan frowned in confusion.

"Yes, yes! The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, doesn't he have a very good relationship with Nagato!? And he also left you the summoning scroll of the psychic beast for easy communication. If you use that, say

Maybe he can use the technique of reverse channeling to get here!?"

Uzumaki Rin's wide-ranging imagination did make Konan feel confused for a moment, but then she shook her head and denied that possibility with a wry smile.

"It's impossible. That big psychic snake only has the most basic sense for delivering items. It's impossible to use such high-end time and space ninjutsu as the reverse psychic technique. Moreover, Kirigakure and Rain

There is still a whole distance between the Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Fire. Even if we use that psychic snake to notify him, he will not be able to cross such a long distance and come to help us."

"General, you have to give it a try!?" Uzumaki Huoren showed a frustrated expression and said with some reluctance: "He, isn't he as strong as a monster, and he is also some kind of immortal from Ryūchi Cave? Maybe,

Maybe he has a way to do something like this that we can't even imagine?"

"...Then let's give it a try."

After being persuaded, Xiao Nan threw a psychic scroll out of her black uniform, controlled it to float in the sky under the heavy rain, and then quickly wrote a message for help on the piece of paper she made to release water.

, while inputting chakra into it, trying to summon the psychic snake that Kaguya Rei left for himself and others——

Peng.

White smoke exploded in the rain curtain, and then in Xiaonan's stunned eyes, a graceful woman in white with a big white snake wrapped around her body appeared on the psychic scroll. Her feet were naked, and only her toes were in the channel.

On top of the spirit scroll, she slowly leaned down and took the distress message she had written from Xiaonan's hand.

"Well, it's a letter for help to that monster Kaguya Rei... Oh, you guys really dare to believe that guy..."

The woman in white with a jade-like face and a gentle and charming face shook her head and looked at the bewildered Konan and Uzumaki Rin with pity.

"You don't even know what kind of price you need to pay to Kaguya Rei for this behavior of yours..."

"Who are you!? Why, why did the contract scroll that summoned the psychic serpent summon you!?"

Konan quickly protected Uzumaki Huo Rin behind him, and looked at the man in front of him with huge celestial chakra as if facing a formidable enemy. Even his mere presence caused the toad on the side to let out a strange cry fiercely, and

The woman in white turned to face her and assumed a fighting stance.

"Me? I am Ichikishima-hime. I am a poor person who was sent out to do things at will by the abominable Rei Kaguya after he bribed the White Snake Sennin with a small price..."

Ichikijima Hime smiled playfully at the extremely nervous Toma Takeru, then jumped back slightly, dragged the psychic scroll into his hand, and formed the seal of the psychic technique with one hand, taking his time.

He clicked on the psychic scroll.

"The art of reverse channeling."
