Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 166 You're from the Ninja World News, right?

Therefore, Jiraiya was extremely wary of Kakuzu and Miyajo En!

He stared intently at the two of them and spoke at the same time:

"Zhiwei!"

"learn."

Yu Nu Zhiwei simply agreed, and then countless tiny black insects sprouted from her body and crawled into the cracks in the ground to investigate.

The Aburame clan is a frequent opponent of Iwagakure, and they once even defeated the Kamimizu clan of Iwagakure. In addition, among the various Earth Release ninjutsu, small insects are the easiest to hide and the most suitable creatures for survival.

A moment later, the oil maiden Zhiwei retrieved the insect and reported:

"Lord Jiraiya, no explosive tags or traps were detected."

"Really? That's good."

Jiraiya glanced at the troops behind him, then solemnly warned Kakuzu and Miyajo En:

"You two aren't ninjas from Iwagakure, are you? If there's nothing else, you should leave now!"

"hehe."

Kakuzu chuckled softly, but his feet didn't move an inch.

Miyajo En looked calmly at Jiraiya and said in a deep voice, "Lord Jiraiya, it's not up to you to decide whether we stay or leave."

Before the commander could even speak, the group of Konoha ninjas nearby couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey, what do you two mean by this?"

"Exactly, if you're going to leave, then leave now!"

"Lord Jiraiya was kindly reminding you to stay away from the dangerous battlefield."

"..."

"Thank you, but please stop." Jiraiya gestured to silence the shouts behind him, then laughed loudly at Kakuzu and Miyajo En:

"Hahaha, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Please make yourselves at home."

After saying that, he gave You Nuzhi a look, signaling her to go first.

Then, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow Aburame Shiki forward.

A group of Konoha ninjas walked past Kakuzu and Miyajo En, while Jiraiya stood aside and waited until the group was almost at the end before leaving.

However, just as he passed in front of the two, Jiraiya suddenly turned around and asked:

"You're from the Ninja World News, aren't you?"

"..."

The smiles on Kakuzu and Miyajo En's faces froze instantly.

It has to be said that sometimes the more carefree a person is, the more astonishingly accurate their intuition can be!

As someone who had dealt with a large number of spies who had infiltrated the Land of Waves, Miyajo En racked his brains but still couldn't understand how Jiraiya had figured out their connection to the Shinobi World News.

You should know that the newspapers are managed by Yakushi Nonou, the newspaper delivery people are all news birds, and the writers are all employees.

While he was still confused, Kakuzu's face already showed murderous intent, and he said coldly:

"Stop thinking about it, just kill him!"

"good!"

Miyajo En put aside his thoughts and then, without hesitation, cooperated with Kakuzu to attack Jiraiya.

"Lightning Release! False Darkness!"

"Earth Release! Yellow Spring Marsh!"

After Kakuzu finished the hand seals, a sharp lightning spear shot out at extreme speed, and at the same time, a large swamp appeared beneath Jiraiya's feet.

"Illusion! Human bomb!"

Miyajo En's pupils had somehow turned into a blood-red "one".

The Blood Dragon Eye is no less powerful than the Sharingan in terms of genjutsu, and it can even manipulate blood to turn a human body into a bomb. Furthermore, after eating the Paramecia-type Blood-Blood Fruit, Miyajo En has become even more adept at controlling blood.

"not good!"

Jiraiya jumped up immediately and then quickly formed hand seals in mid-air.

"Ninjutsu! Needle Jizo!"

Suddenly, his long, white, hedgehog-like hair grew rapidly, the tough, fine strands wrapping around his body and momentarily blocking the sharp lightning spear.

Just as Jiraiya was preparing to dodge the direction of the lightning spear's attack, he suddenly felt his blood surging and boiling, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Is that ninja's bloodline limit?

Jiraiya glanced at Miyajo En, his expression grave, before immediately shifting his gaze away.

He tapped various meridians throughout his body several times, while his chakra subtly emanated, protecting his fragile flesh.

The next second, the lightning spear pierced through the hair!

Jiraiya's pupils contracted as he rapidly gathered chakra in his palm, raising his right hand to block in front of him.

"Rasengan!"

boom!!!

The sharp lightning spear and the chakra ball collided, and the huge explosion stirred up a gust of wind, sending rubble and weeds flying everywhere.

Not far from the three, a group of Konoha ninja soldiers who had just walked away discovered the sudden battle.

"They actually attacked Lord Jiraiya?!"

"Hurry, hurry over there!"

"What exactly did those two ninjas mean?"

Ayumi turned around and looked at him with a stern expression. The black insects on her body silently burrowed into the ground from under her feet.

But just as a group of Konoha ninja rushed over, preparing to launch a siege...

"Stop it! I'm fine!"

Jiraiya emerged from the smoke, covered in dust and looking disheveled, and promptly stopped everyone's actions.

Many Konoha ninja clenched their fists and stood there with resentment on their faces.

Jiraiya looked at Kakuzu and Miyajo En, apologetic, and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Uh, hahaha, sorry, I was just being nosy."

Immediately afterwards, he solemnly promised the two of them:

"Rest assured, we in Konoha never turn friends into enemies!"

"I will absolutely not blurt out anything about this!"

The Ninja World News is a newspaper that appeared in the ninja world a few years ago. Based on the magical news bird, it quickly covered the entire ninja world.

In the past, Konoha Village also sent people to investigate, but each time they returned empty-handed.

Because of the prophecy that the Great Toad Sage had recently changed, Jiraiya had investigated the mutated creature incident, and naturally, he also inevitably checked the Shinobi World News.

However, through a series of investigations, he discovered...

This organization, which appears to be just selling newspapers, actually possesses considerable strength, but he has never been able to find out who its true internal members are.

Just now, Jiraiya had a fleeting thought that inexplicably arose in his mind, and then he casually asked a question.

Unexpectedly, Kakuzu and Miyajo En were actually people from the Ninja World News!

Of course, compared to the thousands of Konoha ninjas waiting for rescue at this moment, this information is of no importance at all.

Jiraiya, who was eager to rush to the battlefield to provide support, did not want to waste time because of this misunderstanding.

"..."

Kakuzu and Miyajo En exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a message for a moment:

Unfortunately, we couldn't kill him immediately.

The Konoha ninja forces have arrived.

[The mission is important.]

"Hmph." Kakuzu glanced at Jiraiya and snorted coldly.

The two of them didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

……

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Jiraiya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His right hand, which was behind his back, was a bloody mess and was still trembling uncontrollably.
