Naruto: A bird in a cage can't trap me Fenghou Qimen

Chapter 154: Jiraiya's confidence

On the border of the Bird Country, there is an endless stream of dense forests.

The three figures moved extremely quickly, their toes flowing with chakra lightly tapping the fallen leaves, and they kept shuttling between the tree trunks and vines.

Soon, the three arrived at their destination and hid around a clearing in the woods with a relatively open view.

White longhair, masked man, little acorn...

That’s right, they are Jiraiya, Kakashi and Might Guy who set out from Konoha to reach the Land of Demons and the Land of Birds!

"Master Jiraiya, are you sure they will show up here? If they choose to take a detour, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

Kakashi stood on a big tree with a cold expression, and with the help of the dense leaves to hide himself, he blended perfectly into the surrounding environment.

"That is to say, not to mention the five major countries, many other forces are secretly observing the movements of Daoyin Village. It is unlikely that they will take the normal route, right?"

Kai, who was hanging upside down not far away and disguised as a "green bat", also expressed his doubts.

When he and Kakashi heard that the fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, was going to use force to bring Tsunade back, they were both shocked.

After all, Tsunade now openly represents the Hidden Village and the Land of Demons. If this matter is not handled properly, it will inevitably cause quite troublesome consequences!
More importantly, they knew Hinata Fuuki, this young junior, too well.

No matter if it was a wanted list for traitorous ninjas or malicious slander, that guy would never really take it to heart and could even just laugh it off.

But if they really take action against his friends, the feud between Konoha and Doin will be completely settled, and there will be no room for maneuver!

Originally, Kakashi and Guy were unwilling to take on such a crappy job, but this was the intention of the Hokage and the higher-ups, and as villagers they could only actively cooperate.

Obey the mission, this is the basic rule of ninja!

As a veteran who has been in the ninja world for many years, Jiraiya certainly knows this truth.

But just like the state of mind when making this decision, he had no choice.

In other words, between Tsunade, the Hidden Dao Village and Konoha, he made the most astute choice:

Either convince Tsunade to return to Konoha, or...

Relying on the rise of the Hidden Dao Village to reshuffle Konoha!
If you don't stand on the top of the mountain, it will be difficult to fully see the darkness at the foot of the mountain.

During the time he served as Hokage, he became deeply aware of the extent of the chaos and corruption within Konoha left behind by the Third Hokage.

The daimyo is incompetent, the upper echelons are pedantic, and the major families are fighting overtly and covertly...

Konoha is no longer the Konoha of the past. It is difficult for him alone to break the current bleak situation.

Didn’t the Great Toad Sage predict that Hinata Fuuki would bring earth-shaking impact to the ninja world?
Then let him come and witness it with his own eyes!

"That's the only thing you don't need to worry about."

Thinking of Tsunade's violent temper, Jiraiya clapped his hands and said confidently, "Rather than changing the route when she senses there might be danger, Tsunade will definitely choose to smash the enemy's head with her fists!"

"...Now that you mention it, I suddenly hope they will change their route." Kakashi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times.

Is it possible that the “enemies whose heads were smashed” you mentioned are the three of us?

"I wonder what kind of passionate youth the Sannin possesses, who possess the ultimate supernatural power?"

Kai showed his big white teeth excitedly, rubbing his hands together, eager to try.

Putting aside other factors, he really wanted to compete with Tsunade, who was also a master of physical skills.

Seeing this, Kakashi held his forehead in silence: You are as excited as a bubble teapot!

He returned his gaze to Jiraiya and asked seriously, "If we really meet, Master Jiraiya, how confident are you that you can take Tsunade away?"

In the last attack on Konoha, he had already witnessed Orochimaru's methods and strength.

As both of the three ninjas, he was very interested in who was stronger between Jiraiya and Tsunade. Upon hearing this, Jiraiya looked up at the forest ahead, his expression calm.

"In a one-on-one situation, I can subdue her the moment she shows her head."

Seeing Kakashi and Kai looking at him in surprise, he scratched his head with a smile and added, "Of course, this requires some not-so-glorious means."

"Although Tsunade's strength and combat experience are impeccable, she has a fatal weakness."

"The fatal weakness of the legendary Sannin?" Kakashi and Gai were shocked.

"Just wait and see, you will know in a moment. You just need to help me be on guard against the ninjas that may be accompanying us."

Jiraiya kept the secret, his face with special lines painted on it was full of confidence.

Hemophobia is Tsunade's lifelong pain, and it is also one of the important reasons why she gave up her identity as a medical ninja.

To be honest, if the situation wasn't special, if he didn't know how troublesome a furious Tsunade could be, he really didn't want to take advantage of this weakness.

Delay will lead to unexpected events. In the current situation, what he needs most is a quick victory!

As for Hinata Fuki, who was difficult to defeat even with his Sage Mode, he didn't think that at such a critical moment, the other party would leave the unguarded Daoyin Village and follow him.

As long as Hinata Fuuki is not here, no one else can pose any threat at all!

"I understand."

Seeing that Jiraiya had no intention of revealing anything, Kakashi and Gai nodded slightly and wisely did not continue asking questions.

As the three of them finished their conversation, the surroundings returned to the tranquility that a forest should have, with only the occasional sound of the breeze stirring the leaves.

Time passed quietly in the long and boring wait.

I don’t know how long it took, but in the deep forest ahead, a few birds seemed to be frightened and suddenly flapped their wings and flew high.

"Here it comes!" Jiraiya shouted.

After catching the chakra aura, he immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

At the same time, a graceful shadow wearing a bamboo hat quickly emerged from the jungle at the edge of the clearing.

It was Tsunade who was heading to the Land of Birds to attend the Six Kage Summit!

"Jiraiya! You actually showed up here!"

Thanks to Fengqi's reminder, Tsunade remained alert throughout the journey and immediately noticed Jiraiya who was attacking her.

"I'm sorry, Tsunade. We can talk about the old days when we return to Konoha. Now I have to make you lose the ability to resist!"

While shouting loudly, Jiraiya, who was in mid-air, raised his pre-bitten finger and splashed a pool of bright red blood at Tsunade who was advancing instead of retreating.

In an instant, the boiling blood hit accurately, staining Tsunade's ghost hat and cloak with a layer of bright blood-red spots.

A hint of joy appeared in Jiraiya's eyes. Seeing that the distance between him and Tsunade was within the attack range, he clenched his fists without thinking, ready to end the battle with a thunder strike.

"Don't blame me for being mean, Tsunade. This is all for Mupuchi!!"

Before he could finish his words, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Jiraiya's mouth, who was full of confidence.

——Tsunade’s fist, filled with extraordinary strength, landed on his chest first!
The sudden heavy blow caught Jiraiya off guard. His whole body drew a graceful arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a "boom", raising a cloud of dust.

Everything happened so fast that Kakashi and Guy, who were hiding nearby, were completely confused.

Their vision was like this: Master Jiraiya rushed out, Master Jiraiya was hit, Master Jiraiya flew...

As soon as you show your head, it turns out you are talking about yourself!!!
