With another chilling roar, the surrounding chakra bubbles, drawn by an invisible force, began to converge toward Naruto's open mouth. The four long tails on his back stopped swinging like barbs, all their tips pointing in the same direction.

"It really is a Tailed Beast Ball! Everyone, leave immediately!"

Seeing an enormous amount of chakra being compressed and gathered into a black sphere the size of a head that appeared in front of the gaping mouth, Kakashi felt his clothes soaked with sweat and shouted loudly to the nearby ninjas.

The Tailed Beast Ball is the most powerful destructive technique of a Jinchūriki. It condenses and compresses a massive amount of chakra according to a certain yin-yang ratio. Once it explodes, it is enough to destroy half of Konoha Village.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Kakashi gritted his teeth, thrusting his right palm downwards, and a sharp, crackling electrical sound began to blare wildly.

No, even Chidori couldn't stop this Tailed Beast Ball. At least an S-rank Lightning Blade would be needed to neutralize some of its power.

The thought had barely crossed Kakashi's mind when his pupils contracted again. The black sphere, the size of a head, had been compressed further, leaving only the size of a fist. The aftershocks alone caused the earth to crack and sink a large circle around Naruto, and the ground to tremble continuously.

Oh no, it's too late.

Amidst a chilling tearing sound, the humanoid fox demon opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp white teeth, and swallowed the fist-sized black ball into its belly with a single forward thrust of its head. Immediately, its entire body swelled into a huge sphere, and every movement became incredibly slow.

As its mouth opened to an exaggerated angle once more, spewing out scorching white air, the sphere in its abdomen gradually expanded its throat and head, and as its body slowly tilted back, a massive, dazzling beam of light erupted from its mouth, blasting towards Hyuga Sawatatsu.

The Tailed Beast Ball is terrifying!

The aftershocks of the escaping power nearly caused Kakashi to lose his footing, and the lightning in his palm stopped pulsating.

During the Nine-Tails' rampage, if Minato Namikaze hadn't arrived in time, the entire Hokage Rock would probably have been destroyed by the Tailed Beast Ball.

Now, who can withstand this Tailed Beast Ball?

Chapter 92 Jiraiya Infiltrates Amegakure

Enveloped in a dazzling beam of light, the Tailed Beast Ball shot out, and wherever it passed, the ground was blasted open by the overflowing aftershocks, creating a straight and deep passage.

Even Hyuga Zechen felt a little short of breath as he watched the Tailed Beast Ball approaching.

If one were to be hit head-on by a Tailed Beast Ball, they would likely die instantly.

Hinata Zechen raised his arms, straightened his index fingers and thumbs, and then brought them together to form a diamond shape, aiming at the approaching Tailed Beast Ball.

A flash of light appeared in the space ahead, rippling out like water, revealing a vast space where a magnificent castle could be vaguely seen standing at the center.

The seemingly unstoppable Tailed Beast Ball was immediately pulled into another space by a huge suction force when it passed through that distorted space, and disappeared from the real world.

Amidst the shimmering waves, the entrance to the space closed again, as if nothing had happened.

What exactly happened?

Behind a wall of earth with four dog heads protruding from it, Kakashi, who hadn't felt the explosion, looked bewildered and cautiously peeked out from behind the wall.

The trail left by the Tailed Beast Ball still emitted billowing yellow mist, but everything abruptly stopped a foot away from Hyuga Zechen, as if the Tailed Beast Ball had inexplicably dissipated, thus quelling a disaster.

No, Naruto's tailed beast form hasn't disappeared yet!

As the smoke cleared, Naruto in his Tailed Beast form was revealed, still on all fours. His large, white mouth opened, emitting a roar that was difficult to decipher, clearly indicating that he was also puzzled as to why the Tailed Beast Ball had suddenly disappeared.

"We'll work together to delay them, and reinforcements will be here soon!"

Kakashi, having used the Body Flicker Technique, arrived beside Hyuga Zechen, slightly lowering his center of gravity and staring intently at Naruto in the distance.

At this moment, Kakashi had no time to ask why things had become so serious; he could only hope that Tsunade could send reinforcements in time.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi had already discussed Naruto's next training plan. "Kou," a former member of Root, the only survivor of Wood Release human experiments, and a master of Wood Release ninjutsu, had already been included in the plan.

Special training is an essential step in helping Naruto gradually master the use of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and it's a necessary process to improve the Jinchuriki's combat power. If Naruto loses control of the Nine-Tails' chakra, "Armor" can specifically suppress the Jinchuriki who has lost their mind and use the power of Wood Release to bring Naruto back to normal.

"It's just a normal sparring match. There's no need to alarm anyone else. It can be resolved in no time."

Hearing such nonchalant words from Hyuga Zechen's mouth, Kakashi, who had already raised his headband and revealed his Sharingan, subconsciously looked at Hyuga Zechen.

Even with the Tailed Beast Balls already unleashed, how could he still maintain control of the battle and prevent any unexpected incidents?

Hinata Zetsu's Tenseigan shone with a dazzling azure light, causing Kakashi, who was standing nearby, to momentarily lose his senses.

Naruto, who already resembled a miniature fox spirit, had his white eyes gradually covered by azure light.

Pfft!

The once majestic fox demon suddenly collapsed to the ground, its limbs going limp. The Nine-Tails' chakra on its body began to slowly recede back into Naruto's body, revealing its crimson skin. It looked as if it had been boiled alive.

Wisps of white energy rose from Naruto's body, indicating that his body temperature was extremely high at that moment.

Indeed, if one cannot perfectly control the power of the Tailed Beasts, then the so-called Tailed Beast Cloak is nothing more than a double-edged sword.

When a Jinchuriki enters the Tailed Beast Transformation state, they appear to be protected by a Tailed Beast Cloak formed from chakra, which provides extremely strong defense against both physical and ninjutsu attacks.

However, in reality, the Jinchuriki suffer continuous damage to their bodies due to the influence of the Tailed Beast Cloak. The more tails they display, the greater the damage to their bodies.

"Are you saying I'm not busy enough since I became Hokage?"

Tsunade, who rushed over with a furious expression, immediately came to Naruto's side. Green chakra surged from her palms and enveloped Naruto's chest.

It can only be said that Tsunade truly deserves to be called the number one medical ninja in the ninja world. The effect was immediate. Naruto's extremely serious injuries began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing his normal skin color again.

Ha ha……

Even though he was still unconscious, Naruto subconsciously opened his mouth and gasped for breath, and soon slowly opened his eyes.

"What...what's wrong with me?"

Naruto sat up, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the training ground that had been mostly destroyed.

Bang!

The next moment, Tsunade punched Naruto on the head without saying a word, and a big bump immediately appeared.

"Grandma Tsunade, it hurts so much!"

Naruto screamed in pain and called out "Grandma" in front of everyone, which made Tsunade, whose face was full of black lines, throw another punch without saying a word.

"I remember now, I just fought with Hinata Zechen, and then... then what exactly did I do?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Naruto became even more lucid, clutching his head and racking his brains to recall his lost memories.

Naruto could not recall what had just happened; the only lingering impression was the intense fear emanating from the Nine-Tails within him.

Even such a monster feels fear?

Naruto subconsciously raised his head and looked at Hyuga Sawatatsu.

So it's because I'm not strong enough that I could only watch helplessly as Sasuke left the village and was powerless to stop him, so I could only shift the blame onto others?

I hope the perverted sage will return to the village soon and teach me more powerful ninjutsu so that I can become stronger quickly, go to Orochimaru to retrieve Sasuke, and avenge my grandfather the Third Hokage!

-----------------

"Achoo!"

Jiraiya, who was being nagged by Naruto, suddenly sneezed.

So, I guess I'm not suited for such a humid environment?

Jiraiya couldn't help but chuckle to himself before turning his gaze to the distance.

A city shrouded in rain.

The Land of Rain, the Village of Rain Ninja.

Desperate to find out why Nagato had become like that, and to find the whereabouts of Yahiko and Konan, Jiraiya quickly focused his attention on Amegakure after organizing the information he had on the Akatsuki organization.

Orochimaru's ability to resurrect Hanzo of the Salamander through Edo Tensei proves that this once-renowned demigod of the ninja world is dead. Furthermore, from his brief conversation with Pain, Jiraiya can easily deduce that Pain was most likely the one who killed him.

Although Jiraiya firmly believed that the child of prophecy spoken of by the giant toad was Naruto, he also had deep feelings for Nagato and the other two and was unwilling to give up any possibility. He hoped that after finding Nagato, he could bring him back on the right track.

Looking at the long river that stretched into Amegakure, Jiraiya quickly came up with an idea and jumped into the river.

Fifteen minutes later, a green-skinned, yellow-striped toad emerged from under a bridge in Amegakure, its yellow eyes looking around in a very human-like manner.

After confirming that no one was around, the toad opened its mouth wide, first extending a hand, and then Jiraiya, who had used the Transformation Technique, crawled out of the toad's mouth.

"Go back to Konoha first and tell Tsunade not to worry."

The green toad let out a roar, then turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.

Chapter 93 Emergency Support

I hope everything goes well...

Watching the toad sink to the bottom of the river and disappear, Jiraiya glanced around at his surroundings and walked towards the most bustling street in Amegakure.

Infiltrating other countries' ninja villages to gather intelligence was something Jiraiya was naturally very familiar with, and he had a complete set of procedures for it.

What Jiraiya didn't notice was that after he left, a very strange moth flew out from the dark corner.

A pure white moth.

A moth made of folded paper.

Soon, pieces of paper shot out and combined to form a woman with short blue-purple hair, which was Xiao Nan.

-----------------

A giant lizard head is embedded in the building wall, with a tongue that is at least two zhang long sticking out.

At the tip of the tongue stood a man with long orange hair, wearing an Akatsuki-style black trench coat with red clouds, his purple Rinnegan looking down over the entire Amegakure.

The next moment, countless sheets of white paper converged from all directions, outlining Xiao Nan, who was floating in mid-air with only half a body.

"How about it?"

Payne did not turn around, but instead asked.

As early as when Jiraiya stepped into Amegakure, he was already sensed by Pain's Rain Tiger Free Technique, and Konan was sent to investigate the identity of the visitor.

Based on the fact that Rain Village experiences constant rainfall throughout the year, Nagato developed a unique wide-range sensory ninjutsu, infusing his own chakra into the rainwater to constantly monitor the entire village.

Once someone tries to shield themselves from the rain, Pain will immediately sense it and can also detect the strength of the intruder's chakra.

"It is Jiraiya."

Xiao Nan spoke expressionlessly, as if she were simply uttering the name of a stranger.

"It's Jiraiya-sensei... He really came."

On the contrary, Payne's voice was full of emotion, as if he had long expected Jiraiya to come.
