Chat group from Naruto

Things went as planned by Jiraiya.

Several toads were successfully persuaded by Jiraiya and agreed to take turns stationed in the ninja world.

In fact, if it's just a short-term battle, it doesn't have to be so troublesome.

Although the psychic contract between Jiraiya and Mount Myoboku was severed, Minato Namikaze was still able to channel the toads in Mount Myoboku.

However, using necromancy to summon across space is different from the toads coming to the ninja world through space nodes.

The latter has no time limit for staying. If the factors of strength degradation caused by the thinning of natural energy are not considered, the toads can even stay in the ninja world until they die of old age.

As for the former, how long it can stay depends entirely on how much chakra the psychic provides when performing the psychic technique.

Moreover, the stronger the summoned toad is, the higher the chakra requirement to maintain its existence.

Although Namikaze Minato has activated the [Sage Body], his chakra capacity is no longer a shortcoming, and it is not much worse than his own son, Narutaiko in the original work.

However, it is obviously impossible to maintain a big toad like Gamabunta operating in the ninja world for several months or even longer.

Not to mention a few months, using up all of Namikaze Minato's chakra to perform the psychic technique would probably only allow Gamabunta to stay in the ninja world for seven or eight days at most.

Seven or eight days is not a short period of time, but when Jiraiya often travels outside Konoha, it is obviously not cost-effective to have to return to Konoha every few days to "change toads."

Therefore, the only option is to let the toads go to the ninja world through the weak point of space, and then follow Jiraiya.

Except for the two immortals Fukasaku and Shima who did not mess around with Jiraiya, almost all the other giant toads "voluntarily" rotated to the ninja world under Gama Bunta's "convincing people with physics".

In the entire Miaomu Mountain, there are not many toads of this level, only five in total.

Each toad followed Jiraiya for two months. As the "boss", Toad Bunta himself had to work an extra shift, which was exactly one year's rotation.

Immediately, Gamabunta was the first to follow Jiraiya and head to the ninja world through the weak point of space.

Fang Zhou watched for a while but didn't make any move to stop him.

On the one hand, Jiraiya's operation is not considered a violation, at most it is "taking advantage of loopholes".

These are two completely different concepts.

The former is a direct violation of the rules. No matter what the reason is, punishment must be given. At most, the actual situation should be considered in the scale of punishment.

As for exploiting loopholes in the rules, although it is not a behavior worth advocating, it does not violate the rules in itself.

If you can make profits by taking advantage of loopholes, it can be regarded as helping to make up for the loopholes in the rules of the chat group. Rewards are definitely impossible, but Fang Zhou will not deprive group members of the benefits obtained by "taking advantage of loopholes". He will only depend on the situation. Decide if a "patch" is needed to fix it.

As for Jiraiya's current situation...

Fang Zhou thought for a moment and decided not to make any move.

Although Gamabunta's strength was of great help to Jiraiya, it was not a decisive role.

The only ones who can really decisively help Jiraiya in actual combat are Fukasaku and Shima. Although the other toads are not weak, in terms of Jiraiya's level of strength, they can only be regarded as "pretty good" helper.

In addition, carrying a huge toad with you anytime and anywhere is very inconvenient in many places.

With Gamabunta's size, the enemy can confirm its location from a long distance, thereby indirectly inferring Jiraiya's whereabouts.

Generally speaking, Jiraiya took advantage of this loophole, and although he reduced his losses to a certain extent, his profits were not too much, so Fangzhou just let him go.

After convincing Gamabunta, Jiraiya immediately took Gamabunta back to the front line of the Kingdom of Thunder, without even bothering to return to Konoha.

Hurry and hurry, and finally return at the last moment.

When Jiraiya "rided" Gamabunta back to Thunder Cloud Canyon, he encountered a large number of Kumo ninja led by Raikage to attack.

Jiraiya did not enter the Thundercloud Canyon immediately, but was on a high mountain a few kilometers south of the canyon, observing the situation from a distance with the help of a telescope.

Without Jiraiya to guard him, only Uchiha Fugaku is left as the top fighting force in Konoha.

Uchiha Fugaku is also considered a strong Kage-level warrior, but his combat power is still far behind the top Kage-level warriors like Raikage.

Relying on the pupil technique of the Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo, it was already the limit to barely hold the Raikage Ai back, and there was really no energy left to help others.

But the Kage-level experts dispatched by Kumo Ninja's side were more than just a Raikage.

Although the strategist Todai is far to the north, and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Rabbi is also missing, Kumogakure Village is after all the Great Ninja Village second only to Konoha, and there are still other top combat forces that can fight.

The two jinchūriki, Yukito, are one and the same. This girl is not very old, but with the two tails sealed in her body, her strength barely crosses the threshold of the shadow level.

There is also a Arashiden ninja, Darui. Although he has not reached the Kage level, he is only just one step away from the goal, and his strength far exceeds that of ordinary jounin.

Uchiha Fugaku, the strongest in Konoha, held back the Raikage, or on the other hand, was held back by the Raikage. Among the other Konoha ninjas, there was no strong enough individual strength, even though they occupied the strategic location of Thundercloud Canyon. , but it was unable to stop the surprise attack of the two Yumu and Darui.

Fortunately, Leiyun Canyon is the most dangerous place near Yunyin Village after all.

Even if the strongest ninjas are much less restricted by terrain than ordinary ninjas, they are not completely unaffected.

Relying on the favorable location, the Konoha ninjas were still able to persevere.

——The so-called persistence means that the efficiency of the two Yuki and Darui in killing ordinary ninjas has dropped significantly.

However, anyone with a little bit of discernment can see after observing for a moment that if the two points of Yuki and Darui cannot be dealt with, the defeat of Konoha will only be a matter of time.

The strength gap between these two people and ordinary ninjas is too obvious. Even jounin can hardly pose any threat to them.

Even in this kind of terrain, the efficiency of the two Yuboku and Darui in killing ordinary ninjas was greatly reduced, but it was only reduced, not stopped.

Even in this battle, the two Yuki and Darui could not get enough results. After going back to repair it, Konoha still had nothing to do.

If it doesn't work once, just do it twice, if it doesn't work twice, do it three times, and if it doesn't work twice, do it a few more times, and it will always make Konoha's battle losses reach an unbearable number.

Moreover, this time will not be long.

Taking into account the necessity of adequate rest, if the Kumo ninja launches a raid every day, in as little as two or three days, or at most no more than a week, Konoha's casualties will exceed the critical value, and they will have to abandon the defense of Thundercloud Canyon and destroy this place. The dangerous pass was given back to Yun Ren.

But on the other hand, if Konoha has a way to deal with the two Yuki and Darui, it can even hold on even if it just holds them back, with the help of the favorable location of Thundercloud Canyon.

You only need to hold on for a while to allow the rear to have enough time to react. Once the reinforcements arrive, most of the threat of the Kumo ninja will be eliminated.

Jiraiya was also a battle-hardened veteran, and he judged the situation clearly after just a few minutes of observation.

Jiraiya originally wanted to look for opportunities secretly and launch a sneak attack.

As long as one of the two Yukito, Darui, and Raikage Ai is injured, and with himself as a "new force" joining the battle, Konoha's situation will immediately turn from a disadvantage to a great advantage.

But unfortunately, Gamabunta's body shape is too eye-catching and is not suitable for sneaking at all.

In fact, in just a few minutes, more than one wave of cloud ninjas came to inquire about the situation.

At Gamabunta's feet were scattered the corpses of more than a dozen Kumo-nin ninjas. Judging from the forehead protectors, the highest-status ones among them were already jounin.

It's just like an ordinary Konoha Jonin serving food in front of the two Yukito and Darui.

An ordinary Kumo ninja jounin could be easily killed by Gamabunta without Jiraiya taking action.

Of course, this is only limited to "ordinary jounin", excluding top jounin such as Hatake [-] Kai, Metkai, Darui, Dodai, etc.

"I should have told Mrs. Wen to wait far away..."

Jiraiya muttered in his heart, and shouted to Gama Bunta at his feet: "Boss Bunta, that boy Fugaku is in danger, let's go up and help him!"

"Oh~!" Bunta made a strange sound, took a puff of cigarette, bent his limbs slightly, and shouted: "Jiraiya, stand still!"

Before he finished speaking, a cloud of thick smoke was seen spraying out from Gamabunta's two nostrils. He kicked off his hind legs hard and jumped high towards the direction of Thundercloud Canyon.

Next, there is a rapid descent similar to a free fall.

In fact, this kind of large jump will only have the effect of killing yourself in most actual combats.

With nowhere to draw strength in mid-air, it is easy to become an enemy's target.

Of course, except for those who have the ability to fly, but it is obvious that a toad cannot fly.

However, the main attack direction of the Kumo ninja is the north of Thunder Cloud Canyon, and Jiraiya and Gamabunta are coming from the south. It is possible to encounter a small number of Kumo ninja who are scouting on the periphery. As for the large army, it is impossible to attack from this place. direction to attack Thunder Cloud Canyon.

Since we won't encounter any strong enemies, we naturally don't need to consider the risks and just go as fast as possible.

After a few ups and downs, Gama Bunta jumped from the foot of the mountain a few kilometers away to the mountainside of Leiyun Canyon in just a few moments.

Halfway up the mountain, the terrain began to become steeper. It was almost a [-]-degree cliff with no place to draw strength.

Fortunately, in this extraordinary world, ninjas and psychic beasts can also "climb walls" by attaching chakra to the soles of their feet.

As long as the control of chakra reaches a satisfactory level, this is much less laborious than climbing a ladder.

The disadvantage is that when climbing, once you encounter an attack from above, there will be very little room for dodge. You can only dodge to both sides, and it is very easy for the enemy to block the dodge space.

This is also the most common use of "geographical advantage" in the ninja world.

The tall and strong walled fortress is not used to prevent the enemy from entering, but to create an environment more conducive to one's own attacks.

Although the main forces of Konoha are on the other side of the Thundercloud Canyon to deal with the attack of Kumo Ninja, there is still a small number of troops remaining in other directions to guard against the possible "circulation" of Kumo Ninja.

It was naturally impossible to hide Gamabunta's movements from the ninjas of Konoha.

However, almost all the ninjas in Konoha knew Gamabunta and knew that this was Jiraiya's signature. Of course, they could not attack Gamabunta, but instead showed excitement.

One of the three ninjas, Toad Sage Jiraiya, this name alone can give great confidence to the ninjas of Konoha.

"Master Jiraiya is back!"

"We are saved!"

Cheers sounded from every corner of Thunder Cloud Canyon.

Jiraiya had no intention of stopping. Instead, he continued to accelerate with Gamabunta, and soon climbed over the mountain and arrived at the other end of Thunder Cloud Canyon.

After climbing over the mountain, the first thing that came into view was a chakra giant tens of meters tall.

Surprisingly, it was Susanoo of Uchiha Fugaku.

Like most Uchiha who have activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku is very dependent on Susanoo, and almost without it, he will not be able to deal with ninjas of the same level.

This seems to be a common problem among most Uchihas.

No one is immune to over-reliance on the power of the Sharingan.

Even Itachi, who uses Susanoo the least often, actually relies on the Sharingan, but he relies not on Susanoo, but on Amaterasu, Tsuki, and the genjutsu of the Sharingan.

Of course, considering the current environment of the ninja world, relying on the power of the blood succession boundary cannot be said to be a wrong choice.

No matter how many side effects the Sharingan has, its bonus to combat effectiveness is real.

A Susanoo is equivalent to at least one Kage level combat power.

If it can be fully opened, in the worst case scenario, it will be the top echelon in the shadow level.

However, the perfect Susanoo, who is known as "defensively invincible", is not completely invincible in front of Raikage Ai, who has also reached the top of the Kage level.

Raikage's attacks would often cause cracks or even holes to appear on Susanoo's body.

Fortunately, the Raikage was not strong enough to completely break Susanoo with one blow and hurt Uchiha Fugaku's body, which was closely protected.

The latter mobilized chakra and eye power in time, and had time to repair Susanoo's damage during the battle.

Although this may be a waste of eye energy, facing a powerful enemy like Raikage, one cannot be too cautious.

"Fugaku, can you still hold on?" Jiraiya rode Gamabunta and landed next to Susanoo, speaking very quickly: "Should I help you here first, or should I go over there to stabilize the situation first?"

The reason why he asked this was because Jiraiya didn't know how long Uchiha Fugaku could last.

This was not the first time that Uchiha Fugaku and Raikage had fought each other. Although they were able to hold off each other every time, they were at a clear disadvantage in total.

Jiraiya didn't know how long the two sides had been fighting before he arrived.

If Uchiha Fugaku could not hold on, no matter how bad the situation among ordinary ninjas collapsed, he could only take over from Uchiha Fugaku and hold off the Raikage.
