Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 29 Kisame: Kill Jiraiya? Me?

The carriage moved forward slowly.

A hint of caution appeared on Jiraiya's face.

Upon reaching the edge, he quickly formed a hand seal and stomped his foot.

In an instant, the soil near the puddle by the bridge beneath my feet gradually turned into a mud pit.

Then—

"laugh!"

A sound.

A man with a knife suddenly leaped out of the puddle, and was immediately horrified when he saw what the person in front of him looked like.

The next instant, his figure transformed into a splash of water.

Jiraiya quickly caught up, his hair transforming into ropes that swiftly bound his opponent.

however.

The other person's body immediately turned into a stream of water.

Hydration technique?

Jiraiya frowned slightly, then immediately spat out a special toad oil and sprayed it into that area of ​​water.

but.

By the time he was about to unleash his next ninjutsu, his opponent had already run a considerable distance.

the other side.

Three figures charged toward the carriage.

Given their position, they couldn't possibly see Jiraiya's exact appearance. Instead of fleeing, they actually charged towards the carriage.

One after another, kunai and shuriken flew in, some of them containing explosive tags.

In addition, some attacks were directed at Kakashi.

The offensive is quite significant!

"Kyohiko."

Jiraiya called out.

"yes!"

Before the other party could remind him, Jingyan had already instantly appeared in the carriage.

The next moment, the water wall rose from a height of six or seven meters around the perimeter, and the water flow swirled slightly, engulfing all the flying shuriken and kunai.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall.

boom!

A series of booming sounds rang out, and the walls constructed of water collapsed instantly.

So fast!

The three Hidden Mist ninjas were alarmed.

but.

They did not retreat. One charged towards Kyohiko, while the other two, armed with knives and chains, rushed towards Kakashi's location.

but.

As soon as they turned, they saw a little girl protecting Kakashi and Gamabunta, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, before her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The two then discovered that they were tied to trees and unable to move.

"It's an illusion!"

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at his two companions out of the corner of his eye and immediately realized that the girl had used illusion magic to temporarily hold them back.

Just as he was about to go and help, he suddenly heard the sound of a gentle breeze behind him.

His body tensed, and he quickly formed hand seals, but halfway through, the sound of the wind behind him grew louder and louder.

So fast!

That's too late!

Kisame turned around, and Kyohiko was already in front of him.

He immediately crossed his arms to block the fist coming from behind, but—

The force surged wildly from his fist.

How is that possible?

Kisame Hoshigaki's not-so-large eyes were wide open at that moment. Before he could react, he was punched and sent flying, crashing straight into a tree.

Bang!

The loud noise startled a flock of waterbirds into flight.

At the same time, "Kyohiko," who was maintaining a defensive posture, vanished without a trace.

Shadow clone dissipated.

Kyohiko originally intended to pursue Kisame, but a glance revealed that Kurenai Yuhi had used magic to trap the two of them. Instead of risking going over, she stood guard beside the slightly chaotic carriage.

"Don't panic! Surround the carriage and protect Mr. Songshan!"

She shouted loudly.

Behind them, the samurai of the Matsuyama family, swords in hand, protected Matsuyama Ichiro's carriage.

Samurai are not very effective against ninjas, but it's better than nothing.

Seeing this, Matsuyama Ichiro's heartbeat calmed down slightly, but his eyes were filled with anger.

These people were most likely sent by Kado!

He had suspected that Kado might not be a legitimate businessman, but he hadn't expected him to be so ruthless, hiring people to kill him on his way.

That's typical gangster behavior!

Fortunately, my nephew recommended Jiraiya's team to me.

With Jiraiya-sama personally taking action, my safety should be guaranteed.

Matsuyama Ichiro cowered in the carriage, peering out through the cracks, and saw Kyohiko punch someone, sending them flying more than ten steps away.

Even a child is this strong?

……

So strong!

This guy's strength is completely mismatched with his appearance!

Kisame spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to climb out of the water.

At first glance, he thought that Kyohiko might be a ninja skilled in water-style techniques, and he was confident that he was not afraid of Konoha ninjas in this area.

result.

To everyone's surprise, the opponent's ninjutsu was secondary; their terrifying speed and monstrous strength were their true trump cards.

Just one punch...

Kisame coughed up blood repeatedly and lay on the ground unable to move.

What terrifying power!

He was still catching his breath after a long while, and could only look up into the distance.

The trend is over!

Although the two recovered from the illusion, one of them was knocked unconscious by Kyohiko with a single punch as soon as they came to their senses.

The other person wanted to run away.

pity.

He was not facing Kyohiko, but an even more terrifying white-haired ninja.

That is...

Jiraiya?!

In an instant, Kisame Hoshigaki's mind went blank.

How could it be him leading the team personally?

Then, the words of Suigetsu Hobutsuki came to mind.

"Merchants from the Land of Fire are coming this time. The four of you are to take them out. That will be your mission."

Kill them?

I?

He was so frightened that he lost all thought for a moment.

No wonder Hozuki Mangetsu didn't attack after being discovered, but instead immediately ran away.

Who would dare to go up there?

The opponent is one of the legendary Sannin!

When the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon arrives, everyone has to run away obediently.

Kisame Hoshigaki immediately submerged in the water in an attempt to escape, but as soon as he went underwater, strange noises came from underground.

What was that sound?

Immediately afterwards, he saw a muddy torrent rolling in from the river.

Earth Release: Earth Flowing River

Jiraiya maintained the hand seals as the surging mud flowed forward, instantly engulfing him.

In the chaos, Kisame was unable to use Earth Release ninjutsu. After being swept away a considerable distance, he struggled to get up, only to be attacked by the boy again.

Kisame rolled on the spot, trying to dodge Kyohiko's attack.

however.

Jingyan quickly formed a hand seal and held it in place.

What kind of technique?

Water dragon bullets?

The Second Hokage of Konoha seems to possess a simplified version of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

Kisame read the opponent's hand seals, predicting the opponent's next attack.

but.

The next moment, Jingyan's figure turned into a piece of wood and fell to the ground, while his true form emerged from the water.

Behind him, a deluge of white hair flew in.

No skill!

The hand seals just now were just an illusion.

Kisame regretted it and tried to escape with all his might, but it was too late.

His white hair was wrapped around him.

Whoosh!

Kisame's hair contracted, pulling him in front of Jiraiya, making escape impossible.

Jiraiya squatted down.

"Hidden Mist ninja, why are you attacking us?"

"..."

Kisame remained silent.

As a ninja, he cannot reveal his mission, otherwise he will suffer terrible punishment upon returning to the village.

At this moment, he felt only deep regret.

The moment Hozuki Mangetsu ran away, he should have decisively fled instead of cooperating with those two idiots to continue the attack.

but.

Who would have thought that such a mission would lead to Jiraiya?

Kisame couldn't help but look at Kyohiko.

This guy's speed and strength are amazing, but he looks very young, probably two or three years younger than his actual age.

A genius from Konoha?

He silently looked at his two teammates.

One was unconscious, another was being treated by the girl, and their companion was being carried on the toad's back.

He thought of himself and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

The style of Konoha ninjas is completely different from that of Kirigakure.

Even the three legendary ninjas would lead the team, and injured teammates would be properly cared for and protected.

Such a thing simply doesn't exist in their village.

even.

If the opponent hadn't been so powerful, he would have tried to kill his teammate to silence him and then find a way to escape.
