Even though Shoji respects and likes Jiraiya very much based on his past life memories and emotions, at that time and not at this moment, the character did not change, but Shoji's position was completely different. We must understand that Jiraiya

It is true that he is the same on the outside and is a very forthright person, but that also depends on the occasion. On the battlefield, any words spoken by the enemy must be viewed with "colored glasses".

Any careless move will only get you killed.

When Shoji and Akato were unclear about the situation and had no redundant intelligence sources, they naturally chose to doubt Jiraiya's purpose as much as possible. At least in Shoji's view, it was very likely that Jiraiya alone was holding them back and then giving them to him.

It’s time for the Konoha ninjas in the stronghold to re-adjust their lineup and posture!

In fact, as long as there is one more Jiraiya in the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold, they really have little chance to break into it. General Si Chitu is still not enough. If this is Loess or Han, the five-tailed jinchuriki

If he were present, Shoji might not choose to take action. Compared with Akatsuki, his senior brother, and the jinchūriki, the gap is still very obvious.

An existence of Jiraiya's level, Akatsuki can only be said to be qualified to fight with him, and he must be Jiraiya in normal mode. Once Jiraiya enters sage mode, he will not be like Naruto in the original work.

Such a perfect sage mode, but the advantage is that Jiraiya can let the two toad sages of Mount Myoboku absorb and transform natural energy for him, which can be said to be an endless supply of senjutsu chakra!

With this alone, he can suppress the general and fight Akatsuki. In the original work, if the intelligence gap is not too large, even if Jiraiya still cannot defeat Pain of the Six Paths, he can still easily escape (in fact,

Jiraiya's main purpose is to further verify his inner conjecture, otherwise there is still a certain probability that he can run away and not die in the hands of Six Paths Pain.)

Shoji is a little overly cautious just because he knows Jiraiya's strength very well, but this is also the best choice Shoji can make in the current situation, unless he is really willing to use the Mangekyou Sharingan and Jiraiya's blood without any bottom line.

Fight, otherwise you can only sit back and watch the Konoha ninjas unfold step by step steadily at their own pace.

Of course, Jiraiya could see that General Akatsuki didn't believe him at all. He was still completely vigilant in preparing for war. Jiraiya also smiled casually and didn't take it seriously. In terms of mentality and caliber,

Jiraiya truly deserves to be called a hero.

They faced off against each other for more than ten minutes.

Just when General was about to doubt himself further.

"Then, let's get here first today!"

Jiraiya, who had already received the message, smiled slightly at Shoji and Akato who were sitting opposite him.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately afterwards.

He also has a straight body shape.

It flashes straight towards the rear position.

Only the general was left behind, and Akato and the two of them looked at Jiraiya's figure that was gradually retreating with varying degrees of confusion.

Ah? Is this really going to happen?

Let’s not talk about red soil.

The general looked a little confused at this moment. Is what this Konoha hero said true? The Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was just given up?

Until Jiraiya's figure disappeared, and then it was clear that a large number of Konoha ninjas had already gradually disappeared, Shoji still seemed a little unresponsive, although according to the original work, Jiraiya

The character description of this hero is that he is a person who does what he says. He will have some shortcomings, but he is worthy of his righteousness, including Naruto's bad things. Because the original work does not describe it in detail, the higher probability is still

It can be attributed to Jiraiya's excessive trust in his Hokage teacher and the fact that he only returned to the village less than a few times in those eleven or twelve years, which is why Naruto's childhood was so painful.

Otherwise, according to the portrayal of Jiraiya's character in the original work, it is impossible to think of him as the kind of person who would let Naruto live that kind of lonely childhood even though he knew the truth. You must know that Minato is the one who will Jiraiya.

He is also regarded as a father. Naruto's names are all taken from the protagonists of Jiraiya's novels. If Jiraiya could completely ignore Naruto's childhood life, then Jiraiya would be really terrible.

!

Judging from Jiraiya's many performances in the original work.

Jiraiya is obviously not such a bad, cold person.

This is a heroic figure with both righteousness and tenderness.

This is also the reason why Shoji fell in love with the character Jiraiya when he was watching the original Naruto novel in his previous life. It was really because of the critical reaction on the battlefield that Shoji took the highest level of vigilance and alertness.

Now I see that this hero really does what he says.

"It seems that something unexpected happened on Konoha's side, otherwise they would not have given up the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold so easily, but this is good, we can take advantage of the situation to occupy the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold first, and the dominance of the war can be regarded as initially falling to us.

It’s in my hands! Just pay attention to the movements of the retreating Konoha ninjas!”

Shoji turned to look at Chitu beside him and said.

It didn't matter that he didn't understand the situation for a while. Anyway, the fact that the Konoha garrison retreated was already in front of him. Although the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was destroyed by the Konoha ninjas as they retreated, almost all of them were destroyed.

garrison facilities.

It is impossible to completely take over the northern fortress like last year's rock and sand war, but it is possible to expel Konoha's defense forces from here and completely ignite the war into the Land of Fire. This is already a huge achievement.

Victory.

In the following developments, their Iwagakure side already had a certain degree of dominance, and they already had the advantage in the game.

"Um."

Chitu also nodded with a steady expression.

The two of them immediately joined forces and temporarily stationed themselves in the remaining stronghold of Wuyuan Mountain, and then used this as a basis to rebuild their defense line.

I just entered the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold.

Not long after commanding the Iwa Ninjas below to start rebuilding some infrastructure, the scattered investigators brought back the main loess army and arrived in an area less than twenty miles away from the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold.

The moment I received the news.

The general and Chitu suddenly realized this.

"It turns out that it is because of this that the Konoha hero took the initiative to give in when the situation was still acceptable."

Our own reinforcements will arrive soon, but the reinforcements from the opposite side will take two or three hours. The time difference is enough to make the remaining Konoha ninja legions die several times, including Jiraiya. Once they fall into Shoji, Loess, and Red Earth,

In addition to the siege of the four Han people, thousands of Iwa ninja troops from the inner and outer third levels were added.

Even someone as strong as Jiraiya would have to fold here.

Even if you enter immortal mode, it will be the same.

How can Generals, Loess, Han, and Chitu be vegetarians?

Therefore, Jiraiya's choice is the most reasonable. They must have learned this part of the information in advance before arriving, so they were so decisive. However, the general did not have any regrets. Even if time went back, they learned in advance.

Reinforcement information for your own team.

The general will not take the initiative to intercept the evacuation of Konoha troops.

Again, Jiraiya's deterrence is too strong. Loess and Han's reinforcements will still take twenty to thirty minutes to arrive. If he takes action forcefully, he doesn't know who will be unlucky!

And looking at the overall situation, this place is definitely not suitable for really entering the death battle mode with Konoha. Although it is going to hurt Konoha, you still have to pay attention to controlling the scale inside, but you can't really let it go.

Yun Ren sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

The three of them are now in a relatively subtle situation. Although Konoha is the most dangerous, the three families are all in a relationship that affects the whole body. Although I don't think that the Third Hokage has such courage, but the war

This thing is really hard to say, if the two families get into trouble here.

It doesn't matter who wins or loses.

The Kumo ninja watching the show will definitely become the biggest winner. Konoha doesn't want to see this, and the Iwa ninja doesn't want to see this unfold either.

The competition has just begun.

The main force of the Iwa ninja has reunited.

This was originally the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold where Konoha ninjas were stationed in the Country of Fire. It was on this day that nearly five thousand Iwa ninja troops were officially stationed. This was the first time since the establishment of Konoha Hidden Village that ninja legions from other countries were stationed.

Entering the Kingdom of Fire on such a large scale.

The Wuyuan Mountain stronghold is not an important defensive area, but the superficial significance of being occupied here far exceeds its actual value. It is foreseeable that when this news spreads throughout the Fire Country and even the ninja world

When it comes, it will have such a drastic impact, especially on the Fire Country itself. From the daimyo, nobles, to ordinary civilians, they will start to worry about their own safety. People will live in the comfort zone for more than fifty years.

after.

Once this comfort zone is broken, the chain reaction will be very scary.

This is also the biggest reason why Shikaku's previous plan, even if he wanted to create a 'big defeat', must stop at the Wuyuan Mountain area. As a Konoha ninja, he must consider factors at the national level.

However, the small gap in his plan that was not even a loophole made his plan at least half a failure. The fall of the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was bound to make Lu Jiu readjust his plan in the future.

Huang Tu, who had just arrived at the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold, also received further accurate information from the general, Chi Tu, when he heard that Jiraiya, who had not been seen for several years, actually rushed to the frontline battlefield.

A hint of surprise appeared on Huang Tu's honest face: "Did that Konoha hero actually appear on the battlefield so quickly? It seems that Konoha's side also made preparations in advance.

Make some preparations!"

"Yes, so, Huang Tusang, I think we need to readjust our strategy!"

The general nodded slightly, and then said with a solemn expression.

The weight of a single Jiraiya or the six or seven thousand Konoha ninja legions is not enough for the general to deal with seriously. After all, the number of ninjas dispatched this time is as high as 5,000, but the combined power of the two makes it impossible for the general to deal with it seriously.

The general must be cautious.

Not to mention that Nara Shikaku, who is said to be the person with the highest IQ in the original work, also appeared on the Western Front battlefield. Shoji's current strength is still a long way from the level of his ancestor who was reduced to ten kais in one fell swoop.

Due to the distance and the presence of Nara Shikaku, Shoji cannot be ignored. A person who is good at planning can exert more power of his army to a great extent!
