Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

"Shh!"

The sea of ​​fire they emerged from saved their lives, but their disheveled state—their clothes burned through and the charred skin peeking out—was proof of the damage inflicted by Jiang Si's fire-based technique.

Even with the elite Jonin strength of Tsukikage Zentsubou, he inevitably suffered some minor injuries. As for the other Jonin, in the rush, none of them could guarantee that they were unharmed!

They barely managed to break free from the sea of ​​fire.

Then in the next moment.

"Shh!"

Jiang Si's figure had already been forced into a close-range position.

"!?"

A katana slashing down suddenly from above.

The Shiranui clan Jonin, who was caught off guard, had only just raised the kunai in his palm when...

"Pfft!"

That was already the blade that had penetrated into it.

"Well!?"

As a piercingly cold pain spread through me, a burst of intense lightning followed, accompanied by a feeling of severe numbness.

"Wow!"

A large amount of blood gushed out.

"Shh!"

Jiang Si's ruthless attitude.

The blade is drawn out by a sweeping motion.

"thump!"

The Shiranui Jonin, who felt his own power receding rapidly like a tidal wave, suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.

It collapsed softly onto the ground.

The large amount of blood gushing from his vital chest instantly stained the ground in front of him red!

The death of this Shiranui clan Jonin was merely a continuation of the death of the Aburame clan Jonin. As the formation organized by Gekko Zentsubasa and his group completely collapsed, once those in front died, the defeat and death of those behind would only be a matter of time, and might even be more direct and shorter than the previous ones. There are several reasons for this, as there would be fewer and fewer people to provide cover.

Killing this Jonin of the Shiranui clan had no impact on Shoji. At his level, even without activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, just using the ordinary tomoe Sharingan would make it difficult for most Jonin to fight him. At least an elite Jonin or someone with an extremely strong special bloodline limit would be able to threaten Shoji.

This formation was shattered in the shortest amount of time.

"Pfft!"

"Lightning Release: Arrival!"

With his figure weaving through the ranks, Sakazuki killed another Jonin from the Nara clan and another from the Yamashiro clan. This completely shattered formation, making it an effective attack that could no longer be reorganized.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Si once again advanced with a swift and aggressive step, and the next moment he was directly in front of the Hyuga clan Jonin. This time, there was no one else to cover for this Hyuga Jonin, and the bright, beautiful blade was clearly visible in his eyes.

"The soul is pale!"

This caused the Hyuga Shinobu's face to turn ugly, and the fear deep in his pupils was clearly visible at this moment.

However, no matter what response he makes at this moment, he cannot avoid the attack of the general. Even the nearby Gekko Zentsubasa, under the same condition of injury, is obviously half a beat slower in his reaction.

"Pfft!"

Draw the knife horizontally.

A huge head shot into the sky.

Splattered blood.

A headless corpse lying paralyzed on the ground.

Looking at the figures of his comrades falling one after another around him, Moonlight Wings's face became increasingly ferocious.

These were all his close companions, with whom he had spent every day, and with whom he had a very deep bond. Now, he could only helplessly watch as one of his companions, a reporter, died in front of him. At this moment, Moonlight Wings' emotions went completely mad.

"Uchiha Shoji!"

The words were shouted out in a loud, angry voice.

"boom!"

In the next moment, the chakra that was unleashed with all its might.

"boom!"

The three-day wheel sword wielded with all its might!

That ray of light that bursts forth.

It is so dazzling.

It was so chilling.

But in Jiang Si's eyes, they were so weak, so powerless, so ridiculous!

"Your courage is commendable, but this is where you will meet your end!"

Looking at Gekko Zentsubasa charging straight at him, and the remaining Konoha Jonin frantically rushing towards him from both sides with the same determination to die, Shoji smiled coldly and swiftly flipped his palm out.

"Shh!"

It was the same kind of rapid comeback.

Strong pressure from the front.

The blade gleamed.

"Clang!"

As an extremely piercing sound rang out...

The heavy pressure is passed on upwards.

"!"

The powerful pressure emanating from Moonlight Wings caused him to feel a sudden heaviness in his body. The intense pressure he felt on his arms made it difficult for this elite Jonin of the Moonlight Clan to breathe, and a crimson hue appeared on his face.

After Jiang Si suddenly pressed down.

That fleeting, expansive gesture.

"Shh!"

"not good!"

A defensive stance that was forcibly shaken off.

As the central gate was wide open.

"It's over!"

The chilling intent emanating from Jiang Si's brows hinted at the moment he was about to deliver the final blow to the Wuyuan Mountain commander in the nearest position.

Suddenly.

Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat.

Within the range of perception, a chillingly dangerous aura was detected in that place in less than a tenth of a second.

This caused Jiang Si to pause involuntarily.

In that next moment, madness arose, and a violent alarm bell rang in my heart.

"Ninja Art - Needle Jizo Technique!"

Almost as Jiang Si forcibly suppressed his killing intent and retreated at lightning speed, from an angle directly above where Jiang Si had been standing.

As a somewhat powerful voice fell.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

In an instant, a shower of silvery-white needles, like a torrential downpour, suddenly covered that area.

"Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap!"

The white needle easily pierced through.

The chilling aura emanating from it made it clear that if Jiang Si had insisted on killing that Moonlight Clan Jonin, unless he immediately activated Susanoo to withstand the attack, the ninja's already weak body would have been severely injured by that blow.

Moreover, activating Susanoo also takes time, even if it's just a fraction of a second. Unless it can spread to the whole body instantly, there is still a certain probability of injury. Giving up further attacks is the best choice.

The strength of this technique, the concealment of the aura, and the timing of the sneak attack all prove that the attacker is an extremely powerful individual. Moreover, based on this single technique, Jiang Si can be almost 100% certain of the attacker's identity.

"Whoosh!"

There's no need to guess.

The next moment, a tall and imposing figure appeared, with long white hair, a prominent 'oil' character on his forehead, and distinctive attire. This figure was none other than Jiraiya, the most feared person in Konoha, and the one with a real chance of killing him in a direct confrontation!

"Lord Jiraiya!"

"It's Jiraiya!?"

It can be said that the moment Jiraiya appeared.

Shoji and Gekko Zentsubasa immediately showed completely opposite expressions. Shoji's expression was solemn and cold, while Zentsubasa looked at the majestic figure blocking his way with a mixture of surprise and joy. For the ninjas of Konoha, after the Third Hokage, the person they respected the most was naturally the former Sannin of Konoha!

When he knew he was going to die, he saw the heroes of the village come to his rescue. You can imagine how Yueguang Shanyi felt at that moment. The most important thing was that not only could he and his remaining companions be saved, but the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold could also be defended with 100% certainty!

Gekko Zentsubasa believed that Jiraiya possessed such strength.

"I never expected that the younger generation could recognize an old guy like me so easily. It's truly an honor for me!"

Even on the battlefield, even when facing enemies, Jiraiya always maintained a cheerful demeanor. It's no wonder that Minato Namikaze became Jiraiya's personal disciple. Even though this one of the Legendary Sannin had many unreliable aspects, his personal charm was undeniable. In this world, there are only wrong names, never wrong nicknames. Jiraiya truly deserved the title of Konoha's Hero.

Shoji had a very good impression of Jiraiya, who was practically flawless in the original story. It could be said that Jiraiya was definitely one of the people in Konoha who could be trusted. Before Shoji changed his mind, he didn't actually choose to believe in the Third Hokage, but rather in Jiraiya. He believed that if he could change the original story and make this hero of Konoha the Fifth Hokage, the Uchiha clan would definitely be able to usher in a real turning point, given his character.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and often things don't go according to our wishes or can't be changed.

Now, having to fight this hero of Konoha as an enemy, Shoji's inner emotions were somewhat complicated, but only somewhat. Shoji always clearly distinguished between primary and secondary issues.

"Hehe, Jiraiya-san is too modest. As a hero who was famous throughout the ninja world during the Second Shinobi World War, how could we juniors not know him?"
