Within the Land of Rain,
The thick, oppressive dark clouds that had shrouded the sky were now gradually dispersing. The primary cause of this change was the jutsu Sōsuke had previously unleashed, "Kurohitsugi ."
The immense natural power of this hurricane-like jutsu had dispersed the dense, heavy clouds that had long hung over the land, making the entire sky clear.
On the battlefield where the Three Shinobi and Hanzo had fought:
"That's fine, you both go back. I'll take some time here to recover."
Jiraiya grinned and said to Tsunade and Orochimaru.
Behind him, three children cautiously huddled together, with Yahiko discreetly eyeing the pale-faced ninja known as Orochimaru.
This guy, called Orochimaru, had just attempted to kill the three of them. Fortunately, the white-haired uncle in front of them had stopped him! Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"You, why don't you come back with us? After all, your injuries..."
Tsunade looked worried as she started to speak, but Jiraiya interrupted her.
"No need. It's just a minor injury. With your healing just now, I'll recover in no time!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily.
Even so, Tsunade was still somewhat concerned.
At this moment, Orochimaru, who was standing on the side, glanced at Jiraiya and then at Yahiko and the others. He hissed.
"Let's go, Tsunade. Since this guy has his own plans, we don't need to worry about him."
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Jiraiya nodded slightly, indicating that Orochimaru was right.
So, Tsunade and Orochimaru prepared to leave after tidying up the battlefield.
As they were parting ways:
Suddenly, Jiraiya stopped Tsunade and approached her, acting a bit mysteriously.
"Um... at least Hanzo addressed us as the Three Legendary Shinobi of Konoha. When you get back, you can mention it to the others."
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade raised an eyebrow, pursed her lips, and said, "Aren't you the one who doesn't care much about Hanzo-senpai? Why bring up such things now? Are you proud to be considered a subordinate loser?"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Jiraiya became anxious.
"But he's known as a demi-god. Being able to come out of there alive, thanks to him, is something to be proud of!"
Tsunade, in response, slightly shook her head in resignation.
"I get it. I'll mention it when I get back. You just focus on healing here."
"Also, those kids... whatever happens, make sure they stay on the right path. After all... that kid Nagato's eyes..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Jiraiya interrupted her.
He wore a brilliant smile and spoke loudly.
"I understand. Alright, let's get going. It's getting dark here. We've been out for so long, and the people at the camp are probably getting worried."
Tsunade had no words to describe her feelings for this guy. She sighed in resignation, then turned and left with Orochimaru.
Seeing the two of them leave, Jiraiya turned around and looked at the three kids in front of him, grinning.
"Well, for now, I'll stick around and give you some guidance. Do you have a place to stay?"
Yahiko was the first to answer.
"Yeah, we live with our grandmother."
"Grand... grandmother!?"
Upon hearing Yahiko's response, Jiraiya was taken aback. He had assumed the three kids were war orphans, but he hadn't expected they still had a living relative.
After thinking for a moment, he clapped his hands and made up his mind.
"In that case, let's go. If you want to learn ninjutsu from me, I'll stay here to guide you. How about it?"
Jiraiya grinned as he looked at the three kids. Although he smiled broadly, his narrowed eyes focused particularly on the red-haired Nagato.
Hearing his words, the three kids exchanged glances and then nodded.
"Yeah!"
Soon, the four of them disappeared from the area.
In a secluded corner atop a large, sturdy tree, quite far away from there:
A white figure was now half inside the tree and half outside. His expression was slightly conflicted as he muttered to himself.
"Ah, Sōsuke managed to arrive here as well. What should I do? If we get too close, he will surely discover us!"
"Should I inform Madara about this...? Oh well, I'll wait and see. What if he's not here for that child..."
"Surveillance is such a troublesome job..."
......
On the chaotic battlefield, there were broken giant trees from their roots and shattered stones scattered everywhere. The ground was filled with enormous craters.
At this moment, two individuals were engaged in combat.
It's referred to as a battle, but it was more like a cruel form of torment.
The combatants were a burly man and a young ninja with narrow eyes.
By their side, there were two fresh Rain Shinobi corpses on the ground, as if they had been brutally attacked by explosive force, their bodies mangled.
The burly man's situation wasn't much better; he was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping heavily and glaring at the young man with an incredibly sinister look in his eyes.
*Swish!*
Suddenly, Saki appeared not far from them, his voice low.
"Is it not resolved yet, Jinnai? Do you need my help?"
Seeing Saki's arrival, the middle-aged burly man's expression turned even more unpleasant. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Have you already taken care of those three guys? You're something, Saki, acting so swiftly."
Upon hearing Saki's words, Jinnai's lips slightly curled up. His narrow eyes squinted, glancing at the three bodies in the distance, and he spoke lightly.
In response, Saki remained expressionless.
"Captain Aizen wishes to end the fight as soon as possible, and he doesn't want anyone to disrupt him."
Upon hearing Saki's words, Jinnai's face twitched slightly, and he turned to look at a tall figure in the distance, silently gazing into the deep pit in front of him.
He sighed softly and then turned back to the burly ninja before him, his tone mocking.
"Originally, I didn't want to kill you too early, after all, you've left me with indelible pain."
"But... consider yourself lucky."
"After going to hell, make sure to repent for your heinous crimes!"
However, at that moment!
Suddenly, Kozo, who had appeared almost lifeless, had a gleam in his eyes!
Half-kneeling on the ground, he suddenly formed hand seals and shouted in a deep voice!
"You, just like your parents, can die for me!"
"Secret Art: Needle Chaos Blood Burial Technique!"
As he finished speaking, the standing water within several dozen meters seemed to instantaneously draw out his blood, transforming into countless sharp blood-red needles!
They shot violently toward Jinnai and Saki.
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* ...
With numerous sonic booms ringing out!
Jinnai's furious voice rang out:
"Die! You filthy scum!"
"Water Release Secret Art: Thousand Blood Burst!"
Accompanied by his unique hand seals, blood-red explosions suddenly burst forth from Kozo's body!
*Splat!* *Splat!* *Splat!* ...
His eyes dimmed in an instant, and his body collapsed backward, his vitality fading away...
As he perished, the blood-red needles that had been shot towards the three individuals turned into liquid, spilling onto the ground.
Seeing this scene,Saki's eyes relaxed slightly, and he gradually retracted the movements he had prepared to make.
