Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 45: Konoha is about to reach its limit
"What?! Jiraiya actually!"

Konoha.

Inside the Hokage's office in the building, the Third Hokage suddenly stood up, his old face filled with shock and disbelief.

Not only him, but everyone including Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado En, did not believe this information.

But they had to believe it.

Because the person who provided the information was Fukasaku the Hermit of Myōbokusan!

"Senmin Fukasaku, what on earth is this…"

"It happened suddenly, I know it's hard for you to accept it." Gamafukasaku Sage said with a heavy face: "After the Kirigakure army arrived at the front line, Kirigakure really launched an attack on Jinnan Town. You should know the detailed battle report soon."

"The fighting power of the Kirigakure side is beyond imagination. Jinnan Town is simply unable to resist the Kirigakure's attack, especially one of them is a little ice-style imp named Mizuno Tsukiyo. It's that guy who killed little Jiraiya."

"Mizunozuki...night."

The familiar name once again appeared in the ears of the four Konoha high-ranking officials. The last time this name appeared was a few days ago when Jiraiya asked them for help.

"Mizuno Yueye, that guy is just a fourteen-year-old kid, how could he..." Utane Koharu couldn't help but say.

Although Jiraiya perfectly inherited the lustful character of the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen, he often fails to deliver and has to go out to collect materials from time to time and cannot be found.

However, as Sarutobi's disciple and one of the three great ninjas in the ninja world, Gama Sage Jiraiya's fighting ability is unquestionable. The Konoha high-level officials are well aware of this.

If he activates the Sage Mode, there will be few people in the entire Konoha who can be Jiraiya's opponent.

But at this moment, Jiraiya died in the hands of Mizuno Yueye...

If this information had not come from the mouth of Toad Fukasaku Sage, the four people present would probably have regarded it as a joke.

"That kid is not an ordinary kid, and his ice escape is not an ordinary ice escape either."

Gama Fukasaku Sage said: "That guy's ice escape ninjutsu contains the aura of senjutsu chakra, and the technique he mastered is extremely strange and terrifying. Even I have never seen it before."

"Little Jiraiya's magic was restricted by that guy, and coupled with the siege of other Kirigakure ninjas, he eventually died at the hands of Mizunoe Tsukiyomi..."

"I can only remind you to be careful. If possible, you'd better strangle him in the cradle of growth. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

After saying this, Gamafusa Sage did not stay in the Hokage Building for long, and simply turned into white smoke and disappeared.

After Fukasaku Sage left, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen at the same time, and even Danzo did the same.

The pillar of Konoha was now trembling all over. Although he said nothing, the most precious pipe in his hand had already broken in his hand.

They all knew very well the position of the Three Ninjas in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart. For the Third Hokage, the news of Jiraiya's death meant not only that Konoha had lost a top combat force, but also that the Hokage had lost his right-hand man, and also that his own child had died on the battlefield!

"Hiruzhan..."

Danzo took out a scroll from his bosom and placed it on the desk: "This is all the information about Mizuno Tsukiye that I have explored during this period. According to the information, Mizuno Tsukiye has indeed not awakened the Ice Escape. Not only has he not awakened the Ice Escape, he only has water attribute. When he was born, he was expelled from the snow..."

Danzo told him all the information about Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, but Sarutobi Hiruzen still held the broken pipe tightly in his hand without saying a word.

"Huruzen. Hiruzen!"

Mito Kado En's voice suddenly rose, and the pipe in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand was crushed into powder. The terrifying aura of the Third Hokage burst out, but soon dissipated. But even so, the entire Hokage office was still messed up by this chakra.

Looking at his embarrassed colleague, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"Our war with Kirigakure has just begun. Jiraiya's death has had a huge impact on the front line. Kushina alone is not enough to make up for the gap between the two sides, so I think..."

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's words with a sharp voice, and at the same time cut off his unrealistic thoughts: "Minato has learned about Kushina's trip to the Kirigakure battlefield, and has already applied to Orochimaru to go to the Kirigakure battlefield. Therefore, if support is needed, whether it is Minato or Orochimaru, they are both good choices."

"Even the situation in Kumogakure has stabilized. I have handed over the command to the kid from the Nara family. Even if I go to the front line of Kirigakure, it will be no problem. My wind escape technique can just restrain their Kirigakure technique. So, put away those random thoughts of yours!"

"Danzo..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes in pain and clenched his fists tightly, only slowly loosening them after a long time.

"Let Minato go. He and Kushina have been working together for a long time and have a close relationship. There's also Flying Thunder God... I'll feel a little more at ease with him around."

"Also, you should have heard what Gamafukasaku said. Mizunotsukiyo... no matter what, we must get first-hand information about him, or even find some opportunities."

opportunity?

Danzo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Don't worry, Hiruzen, leave it to me!"

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Danzo."

……

Because the entire Tsunan Town was destroyed by the runaway Kushina, the Kirigakure retreated to their own camp again and began to repair.

This battle seemed to have achieved remarkable results. Not only did it completely destroy Konoha's Tsunan Town defense line, but it also killed Konoha's general, the three ninjas Jiraiya, and annihilated Konoha's combat power on a large scale, achieving huge results.

But the situation on the Kirigakure side is actually quite bad.

Jiraiya and the runaway Kushina made Kirigakure, which should have won a great victory, end up with only a miserable victory.

Especially Kushina's final rampage, which directly caused the Hidden Mist Ninja to lose hundreds of them, and their deaths were worthless!

This is where high-end combat power is unreasonable.

For example, Yoru's Hyorinmaru froze countless Konoha ninjas in an instant, and Kushina's Tailed Beast Ball also had the same effect.

"I didn't expect Konoha to send all the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the front line. The power of the tailed beasts..."

Yagura's left arm was bandaged, but his eyes were fixed on the sand table where the terrain had changed.

The town of Jinnan, which had originally been the focus of attention, now only had a big pit left, which was what was left after the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Although the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is very powerful, this is actually good news."

Ye shook his head: "There is no need to explain the significance of Jinchūriki. Its deterrent value is far greater than its combat value. Since Jinchūriki has been sent to the front line, you can imagine the current situation of Konoha."

"They don't have much combat power left!"
