Chapter 443: Jiraiya Preparing to Infiltrate
PS: I was too busy yesterday, sorry, I forgot to ask for leave. I am moving to a new house tomorrow and have a lot to do. This chapter was written a little yesterday, and then I forced myself to write it today while slacking off at work. I hope my fellow book friends will forgive me.

The massive invasion of the Iwagakure Village troops.

This not only involves 5,000 Iwagakure ninjas, but also Huang Tu, a Kage-level strongman who is capable of fighting the tailed beasts, as well as Lao Zi and Han, the two Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki, who are fighting together. The village's Ohnoki is also ready to fight at any time.

This war.

Ōnoki wants to completely destroy the Hikari Village.

With the Hidden Cloud Village already severely damaged, Konoha continuously weakening, and the Nine-Tails lost, as long as Ohnoki could continue to severely damage the Hidden Light Village, kill Uzumaki Menma, and take away multiple tailed beasts led by the Nine-Tails, he could foresee that the ninja world would usher in a future era of hegemony by his own ninja village.

This has been Ōnoki's wish for decades since he became Tsuchikage.

Today it is today.

He finally saw the light of hope.

At least that's what he thinks.

When a large number of Iwagakure ninjas crossed the border directly and entered the territory of Taki Country, the Light ninjas on the front line immediately passed the news back to the village and immediately abandoned their front-line strongholds. Except for leaving behind some necessary reconnaissance personnel to disperse and collect intelligence, the rest of the Light ninjas retreated.

This was the order Menma gave before leaving the East District.

As long as the Iwagakure ninjas don't really advance into the heart of Taki no Kuni, everything can be tolerated. However, from the current perspective, the situation of the Iwagakure ninjas is already very obvious.

The ninja villages in various countries were also shocked by the generosity of the Iwagakure Village. The Kumogakure Village and the Sand Village also further increased their border defense capabilities. Whether or not to join the war is another matter, the most important thing is to guard the sphere of influence of their own ninja village.

This is the bloody lesson learned from countless wars in the past.

At the same time, at the westernmost border of the Fire Nation.

"It is certain that Uzumaki Menma has left the East District of Hikari Village, right?"

In a very secret frontline base of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Jiraiya looked at a Konoha Anbu who came to report with a look of surprise and said that ever since he came back from Myoboku Mountain, he was determined to bring back Naruto and save the whole world. After Jiraiya reached a certain degree of agreement with Tsunade, this Konoha hero came to the Konoha stronghold closest to Takikuni.

This is to wait for the opportunity for Menma to leave the Ninja Village.

Jiraiya felt that as long as Menma was not in the village.

In such a huge Takigakure Village, there is absolutely no one who can stop his infiltration once Naruto's exact location is determined.

Jiraiya will then take action forcefully and bring Naruto out.

Even if Menma knows the Flying Thunder God Technique.

It is impossible to come back immediately. With the necessary interval time, Jiraiya is 100% confident that he can rescue Naruto.

"Yes, Master Jiraiya, as soon as the news of the defeat of the Hikari Village on the front line spread, the Hikari Village took corresponding military actions. After careful investigation, our people finally confirmed that Uzumaki Menma had left the village a day ago. Today, it was just confirmed that Uzumaki Menma appeared in the western district of the Hikari Village, which was the former Kusagakure Village, and presided over the situation. A corresponding group of Hikari ninjas were also transferred to the western district to deal with the upcoming Mist ninja general attack."

The ANBU in front of him, wearing a monkey-faced mask, replied in a deep voice.

There will still be a certain time lag in the transmission of information.

But the Anbu on the Konoha side had already tried their best to do it as quickly as possible. Basically, the moment they confirmed that Menma's true self appeared in the area where the former Kusagakure Village belonged, they passed the message back.

"Very good. In this way, even if we receive the message, we still have to pass it on. It will take at least half a day for Uzumaki Menma to come back. This time is more than enough."

Jiraiya said with an excited look on his face.

"Your mission has been completed. Now everyone should retreat. Don't expose yourself. Do you understand?"

Although Jiraiya felt that the probability of something going wrong was not high, he still had to take the worst-case scenario into consideration.

Taking action alone and invading with Konoha's Anbu are two different concepts. It is true that the prophecy of Myoboku Mountain is Jiraiya's lifelong belief, but Jiraiya also attaches great importance to the safety of Konoha. As long as there is a choice, Jiraiya will definitely care about Konoha.

Therefore, you must not leave any more evidence behind.

If I really fail, I can at least give an explanation.

As for whether others would accept it, Zilai didn't care. This was the best consideration he could make.

"Yes, Master Jiraiya...but..."

The Anbu responded subconsciously at first, and then as if he had thought of something, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face hidden under the mask.

"What's wrong? If you have any questions, just tell me."

Jiraiya raised his brow and said softly.

"That's right, Master Jiraiya. Although we have confirmed that Menma Uzumaki has appeared, our people cannot get close to him. We have no way of truly confirming that it is Menma Uzumaki himself, or that it is possible that he is someone else pretending to be him. Do you need to observe him for a while longer? Wait until we have collected further corroborating information before taking action?"

This is definitely the true feeling of this Anbu.

As the Hokage's direct subordinate, he is an Anbu member.

He is also a ninja from the Nara clan who is very familiar to Jiraiya. He is the most loyal ninja to Tsunade. Jiraiya is the current pillar of the Konohagakure Village and is also Tsunade's best friend.

He is definitely the best supporter of his own Hokage.

This Anbu member from the Nara clan does not want to see his master Jiraiya fall into an irretrievable crisis.

"This is indeed a problem, but by the time we are 100% sure, it will be too late. Although it is still unclear what means the Hidden Mist Village used to defeat the two tailed beast Jinchuriki of the Hidden Light Village, as long as Uzumaki Menma leads the reinforcements to the front line, the Hidden Mist Ninja will definitely not be able to withstand it. Once we delay for a little longer, we may lose the best opportunity. If we want to sneak into the Hidden Light Village, this is the best chance."

Jiraiya said as he shook his head slightly.

Information about the Hidden Mist Village hiring the Akatsuki organization.

Although Obito intended to spread it beyond the ninja world.

But it still takes some time.

At this point in time, Menma had actually defeated the quartet of Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, and Sasori, and then returned to the western area of ​​the ninja village to organize the final rout and solve the problem of the Mist Ninja at one time.

But this is where the message delay is reflected.

As an experienced ninja, Jiraiya was also very clear about this. Delaying any longer would mean wasting opportunities.

It won’t be easy to wait for a similar opportunity next time.

Wasn’t there an example before where Menma left the village, but the news was uncertain, and by the time it was finally confirmed, the person had already returned?

Therefore, Jiraiya would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Naruto, he must be brought back.

"Just go back and report back, and tell them that this is my instruction."

Jiraiya gently patted the ANBU's shoulder and said, "Yes, Master Jiraiya."

The Nara Anbu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then he seemed to have thought of something and finally gave up and nodded, responding.

"Go."

"Yes!"

After the Nara Anbu lowered his head to answer, he flashed away.

Jiraiya took a deep breath.

He looked towards the northwest, with a look of determination in his pupils, and then he flashed his body and headed quickly towards the eastern area of ​​Hikari Village, which was the former location of Takigakure Village.

A storm coming from all sides.

No one has noticed the sneaking in the shadows yet, because all eyes are almost fixed on the main battlefield.

Especially with the invasion of the Iwagakure Village's army.

The ninja villages in other countries are all wondering whether the Hikari Village can hold on this time, because the defeat on the front line is real.

Now we have to add to the already powerful attack on the Iwagakure Village, which is led by three Kage-level fighters. This force is already one of the best in the ninja world.

Especially for the Hidden Cloud Village.

If the Hikari Village really shows further signs of decline.

The Fourth Raikage would also attack without hesitation.

His own Two-Tails must be taken back, and the blood feud of the dead Cloud Ninjas must be avenged. In addition, there are the large strategic locations that have been lost and the damaged interests. All of these have taken root in the Fourth Raikage's heart. If he doesn't avenge this, he will not be a human being. This is the best and true portrayal of the Fourth Raikage's inner thoughts.

The Konoha side, that is, Tsunade's side, seemed a little hesitant.

As mentioned before.

It would be nonsense to say that Tsunade doesn't want to take back the Nine-Tails. Even considering the role and value of the Nine-Tails, Tsunade will definitely spare no effort to get it back. But the problem is that the difficulty is too high. It is very likely that she will have to pay a terrible price to achieve her goal. Naturally, Tsunade will not act rashly.

This is also why Tsunade had that attitude when Jiraiya proposed to rescue Naruto.

But now the situation seems to have changed to some extent.

If the Hikari Village were to be defeated directly by the attack from the two major ninja villages.

Their Konohagakure Village will then have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take back the Nine-Tails.

But the prerequisite is that the Hikari Village must be defeated, and it must be a very tragic defeat, which is another uncertain thing.

So, it's the same as Ai and Maki.

Tsunade also planned to observe it for a while longer.

He also had a little more confidence in Jiraiya's actions. After all, regardless of whether the Hikari Village could win or not, at least now the defense force inside the Hikari Village must be the weakest, and Menma's attention would definitely be on the outside.

Don't pay too much attention to internal issues.

However, neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya would have imagined that the Hidden Light Village is now completely different from what it used to be.

Even if Menma is not in the village.

It is not something that can be invaded casually.

In fact.

Facing the approaching army of the Iwagakure Village, Karin, who stayed in the village to temporarily take over the power, did not show any worry.

"It seems that it is just as Menma expected. This Third Tsuchikage really has bad intentions."

In the Tianying Building.

Xianglin sat on the sofa beside her, looking at the messages sent back by the front-line Anbu members placed on the table, and a rare sharp look flashed in her blood-red eyes as she spoke.

Although I have long seen through the terrible nature of this world.

She was also well aware of the ugly relationship between the major countries, and that the only criterion for measuring and judging all actions was interests. However, when she saw that the Iwagakure Village really acted so decisively, Karin still felt very angry.

Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's misfortune?!
It's because when he saw that their Hikari Village was in crisis, he wanted to gain significant benefits from their Hikari Village!

However, this is indeed the "common sense" of this world.

Throughout the thousands of years of ninja history, similar things have been repeated all the time.

"Let me take action. I can handle those humans who have only mastered the chakra surface by myself. I can also suppress the humans possessed by the two tailed beasts."

The man sitting on the side also felt that it was time for him to fulfill his duties. He took a step forward and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

A hint of confidence also flashed in that pair of extremely beautiful and crystal white eyes.

As I get more accustomed to this pair of white eyes.

Sheren could clearly feel that the blood of the descendants of the two branches of the Hamura ancestors was slowly blending in his body.

The blood power is further stimulated.

Different from the previous vagueness and unfathomableness.

Sheren can now clearly feel the fetal movement of his own pair of white eyes, but perhaps it is a little bit off. But no matter what, Sheren can feel the abundant power in his body.

At least it is stronger than before when he could mobilize the power of that giant reincarnation eye!
The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion should not work.

But Toneri was able to use the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. Although dealing with just a few tailed beasts would be a little tricky, Toneri had enough confidence that he could suppress them forcefully.

Besides, now is the time for him to show himself.

"It's not the time for you to go out, Toneri-kun. These are just some minor issues. Menma has already given corresponding instructions. There is no need for Toneri-kun to take action personally. In the long run, the stability of the village is the top priority. Now it's only the Iwagakure Village that has taken action. We cannot rule out the possibility that other ninja villages will take action. It is the best solution and the safest choice for Toneri-kun to stay in the village."

Hearing Sheren's words, Karin was stunned at first, then she immediately reacted, shook her head slightly, and said with a very serious expression.

How should Sheren be arranged?

Menma also explained something to Karin before leaving.

Trust is of course necessary, but for the time being, it is better not to let Toneri carry out the mission of leaving the village. The reason is very simple. Toneri's character is still a little too "simple". Menma is very worried that if Toneri goes out alone, it will be easy for something to go wrong.
