Chapter 187 The Desolate Sand Village

"Damn it, I completely forgot about Sasori, the grandson of old lady Chiyo."

Jiraiya slapped his forehead hard, annoyed by his own forgetfulness.

Konoha is facing difficulties now, and it is precisely at this time that it needs friends.

If he tells Chiyo about Sasori's information at this time, will he gain the support of Sunagakure?

Even if Sunagakure doesn't explicitly stand with Konoha, it still has to withstand the pressure from Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

However, when Konoha goes to buy ores and other supplies, it is enough if the price is slightly lower.

In Yunhe and Yan villages, the cost of using the underground gold exchange is not low.

Jiraiya believed that as long as they could get through this most difficult period, Konoha would definitely be the victor.

"Once the video finishes playing, send someone to Sunagakure to inform Chiyo to come over and discuss Sasori's matter."

[Because Gaara keeps wild tanuki, this mission involves demolishing the Sunagakure village with explosives and capturing wild animals.]

Upon arrival, Deidara instructed Sasori to guard the village entrance, while he himself flew over Sunagakure, intending to capture the One-Tailed Beast alone.

[As a result, this guy was caught by Gaara as soon as he entered the village, but Deidara could fly.]

[Pursued by the sand, Deidara darted through the buildings at high speed, dodging attacks and casually snapping up a few bombs.]

Seeing Deidara's incredible flying ability, Gaara also used the sand to ascend into the air.

Deidara was curious as to why Gaara knew so quickly that he was a member of Akatsuki.

Gaara retorted, "That chicken you're standing on, we don't have any in our village."

Having said that, Gaara then used the Sand Hand to intercept Deidara.

However, Deidara's advantage lay in his small stature and high movement speed, rendering the Sand Hand's attacks largely ineffective.

Meanwhile, Deidara's exploding clay was also ready, constantly testing Gaara.

[Deidara analyzed that Gaara mainly used sand for defense, which was slow, so he sculpted Exploding Clay Chicken 1 and successfully stole from Gaara.]

However, Gaara promptly grabbed the chakra sand from his gourd, wrapped it around his entire body, and used his Sand Eyes to spy on Deidara.

"This little boy carrying a gourd is in a bad situation."

In Tobirama's office, everyone watched the battle quite intently.

Especially Jiraiya and his two friends, they were practically taking notes.

Both sides in the battle were renowned powerhouses in that era.

One side consists of members of the terrorist organization Akatsuki.

On one side is the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure, who also serves as the Kazekage.

Even Hashirama Senju watched this battle very intently.

"Grandpa, why do you say the One-Tailed Jinchuriki is in a bad situation? I think he's defending very well."

Tsunade is still young, and their focus is still on the battle itself.

Judging from the fight between Gaara and Deidara shown on the screen, the two were evenly matched, and Gaara was not at a disadvantage.

However, the same battle can reveal different things to adults.

"Yes, the little boy carrying the gourd is indeed holding his own right now, but you have to consider the battlefield."

"site?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya looked thoughtful and asked, "Does the First Hokage mean that fighting in Sunagakure would be very disadvantageous for the Kazekage?"

"Jiraiya is right."

Hashirama Senju nodded, acknowledging what Jiraiya had said.

"But why is that? Logically speaking, if we were to fight in Sunagakure, the Kazekage should have the advantage, since he could have other ninjas from the village come to his aid."

Just like the Nine-Tails' rampage during the Fourth Hokage's era, with the support of many Konoha ninjas, even the Nine-Tails could only wreak havoc for a short time.

"What you said isn't entirely wrong, but that's only under normal circumstances. Look at the screen again; where are the guy riding the bird and the guy carrying the gourd fighting?"

Jiraiya obediently glanced at the light screen, but before he could speak, Tsunade beside him interjected, "I understand what Grandpa means. The two of them are fighting in the sky, and ordinary ninjas simply cannot provide support."

"Haha, my little Tsunade is so smart."

"That's right."

Having received praise from Hashirama Senju, Tsunade glanced smugly at Jiraiya.

"What's with the smugness? I already thought of that."

Jiraiya didn't dare to confront Tsunade directly, fearing she would invite him to go shopping again.

For the sake of his wallet, he could only mutter to himself.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya is not convinced."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and betrayed Jiraiya.

"Orochimaru, you son of a bitch!"

"Jiraiya, shut up! You seem pretty defiant, huh?"

"No, Tsunade, let me explain."

"Hmph, I just saw a new outfit I liked yesterday, Jiraiya, are you going to buy it for me or not?"

"No, Tsunade, you can't do this."

"If you don't buy it for me, it means you don't like me."

Jiraiya Jr.: "."

Watching the "intimate" interaction between Tsunade and Jiraiya, Orochimaru felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

During this period, Orochimaru, after receiving meticulous guidance from Tobirama Senju, was completely different from the Orochimaru of the original story.

At the very least, he won't be like the character in the original story, who wanted to achieve immortality in order to learn all the ninjutsu.

At this moment, he values ​​the friendship among his companions more.

He especially enjoyed watching the banter and playful arguments between Tsunade and Jiraiya.

However, his enjoyment was often built on the suffering of young Jiraiya.

[While Deidara was analyzing the situation, he was inadvertently trapped in a sand prison manipulated by Gaara, who had circled around him. However, the sand prison was immediately destroyed.]

[As Deidara escaped the sand prison, he was repeatedly pulled by the sand, darting left and right through the air on a flying chicken.]

Gaara seized an opening, unleashing sand infused with chakra to attack and tearing off Deidara's arm.

However, this operation resulted in insufficient sand in the protective sandball for Gaara, creating a gap.

The Sand Village ninjas gathered below did absolutely nothing, but their eyesight was impeccable; gazing at the distant aerial battlefield, they cheered wildly for Gaara.

"Sunagakure has fallen into decline."

In the Hokage's office, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, watched as the other Sunagakure ninjas were unable to offer any assistance during Gaara's battle with Deidara, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, although the enemy can fly and moves very nimbly in the air, we can still use Wind Release ninjutsu to force Deidara to reposition himself, thus helping Gaara."

"Minato is right. Who would have thought that Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, would only be able to fight against invaders when only the Kazekage could do so, and the other ninjas were completely helpless."

"What a waste of its reputation as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages."
