The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

That was already a nightmare for ordinary ninjas, let alone witnessing such a horrific scene firsthand.

A scene of charred blackness.

Scattered limbs and broken pieces everywhere.

The area splattered with blood looked like a scene from hell.

Under the influence of that Tailed Beast Ball just now.

Even though the Konoha ninjas behind them were fleeing very quickly, most of them were still directly blasted to death.

The remaining people were almost all lying wounded in pools of blood, groaning in pain.

Even Shikaku, the commander, could not escape his fate. He was not dead yet, but he had already lost his right arm and right leg. He lay weakly in a pool of blood, and with a large amount of blood flowing out, Shikaku's life force was rapidly slipping away.

"Cough cough..."

It can only be said that Konoha should be thankful that Fu doesn't have Menma's powerful sensory abilities, so she can't pinpoint the location with perfect accuracy.

If it were Menma, one Tailed Beast Ball would kill everyone in the row behind her.

To ensure that her own family would not be affected, Fu had already deviated from the target area.

This is what allowed some of the Konoha ninja to survive.

Yamanaka Inoichi was one of them.

Although he was covered in a mess, at least he was still whole, with only minor injuries.

At that moment, he quickly arrived at Shikaku's side.

Seeing his best friend in such a miserable state.

Haiyi's heart was clearly in turmoil.

Inoichi immediately began initial treatment on Shikaku. Although he didn't possess any advanced medical ninjutsu, he still knew the basic treatment methods.

He managed to stop the bleeding for Shikaku, but Inoichi knew very well that without further treatment, Shikaku was very likely to die.

"Inoichi, cough cough... We can't continue fighting... Retreat... Cough cough... My prediction was wrong... Tell Jiraiya-sama to retreat immediately..."

His words were extremely weak.

Blood was still seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Shikaku gripped Yamanaka Inoichi's sleeve tightly with his remaining hand, speaking as if he were extremely anxious.

"I know, I know, Jiraiya-sama will make the right judgment. Shikaku, don't say anything yet, the medical ninjas are coming soon!"

His breath grew increasingly weak.

That vitality seemed to be on the verge of disappearing at any moment.

Haiyi's expression also became increasingly anxious.

"Quick! Medical ninja!!"

Those words were uttered in a fierce and angry roar.

It seemed as if they couldn't wait for the medical ninja to arrive.

An incredibly tragic scene.

The Tailed Beast Ball is terrifying beyond measure.

Although it must be viewed from the perspective of casualties, this Tailed Beast Ball only caused less than two or three hundred Konoha ninja casualties.

But the excitement on the scene goes far beyond that.

Even Jiraiya, who was on the front lines, was a little flustered.

"hehe."

Menma clearly noticed this, and a cold smile appeared on his face. The moment Jiraiya saw it, this hero of Konoha became even more agitated.

But it's already come to this.

Jiraiya was no longer willing to say anything more to Masahiro.

I've already said everything I needed to say.

Jiraiya was ultimately more realistic than Naruto, both in the original story and in dealing with Orochimaru and Nagato.

This hero of Konoha did try to fight for it at first, but in the end he chose to protect the interests of Konoha, which he believed was the right thing to do.

At this moment, facing Mami, Jiraiya felt the same way.

This battle cannot continue!

This was the thought that popped into Jiraiya's mind at that moment.

More than an hour has passed since the start of the battle, and there is still no sign of a clear winner between him and Menma. Menma can even find time to support his summoned beast. In terms of raw strength, there is no significant difference between them, but the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Adamantine Sealing Technique can give Menma a great deal of leeway.

Menma simply had a hard time finding an opening in Jiraiya's defenses.

Jiraiya, however, seems completely unable to find Menma's weaknesses. Moreover, Jiraiya can clearly tell that Menma is using him as a whetstone, honing his skills little by little, especially in the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Jiraiya felt he was becoming more and more adept at using menma.

The previous transmission interval issue is becoming less and less noticeable.

This was definitely not Jiraiya's imagination.

It is something that is actually happening.

The growth of geniuses is always fastest and most direct in real-world practice.

Jiraiya could have hoped for a breakthrough in the battle on both flanks, or at least stalled the enemy a little longer until good news came from the Mist Ninja.

But judging from the current situation...

It's unlikely that Konoha will receive any good news from Kirigakure.

With the participation of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even though Akimichi Choza had already swallowed his clan's secret medicine at the first moment, further increasing his chakra, and led a group of Konoha ninja to confront the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, stopping its further rampage.

However, the Seven-Tails' power is such that it's impossible for Choza Akimichi alone to completely withstand it.

Unless Akimichi Choza completely risks everything to devour his clan's ultimate secret medicine—the Red Pill—and directly activates the Butterfly Transformation Mode, it is indeed barely possible to do so.

But even that has a time limit, not to mention that their rear command system has been completely destroyed.

Drag it on.

This is the biggest disadvantage for Konoha.

"Fukasaku Sennin, Shima Sennin!"

In just two or three seconds.

Jiraiya then made up his mind.

"Ok!"

He spent decades with Jiraiya.

You could say it only takes a glance.

Fukasaku and Shima both understood Jiraiya's meaning.

Therefore, it was almost at the moment Jiraiya left his words.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped"

The two toad sages from Mount Myōboku then clapped their hands together sharply.

"Wa ...

As the croaking of frogs, chorusing out once again in unison, rippled outwards in waves of sound.

"!?"

The man opposite him, Mianma, also tensed up.

Subconsciously, I took steps backward to dodge.

"Bunta!"

When Jiraiya reappeared above Gamabunta's head, he clapped his hands together again.

"Prepare the oil!"

"Oh! I know!"

next second.

"Sage Art - Fire Release - Dragon Flame Technique!"

At the moment when Jiraiya completed his technique.

The enormous flames that followed, combined with the toad oil that Gamabunta was spraying out of his mouth below.

The moment they came together.

It formed an extremely terrifying, scorching flame.

"Boom!!!"

This directly forced back Mianma and Lizard Lacquer Soil.

Then.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

At the moment when that crisp and loud signal flare exploded high in the sky.

Fukasaku and Shima, the two old toads from Mount Myōboku, once again used Wind Release simultaneously, further amplifying the power of this Fire Release.

It extends directly towards the flanks.

"An order to retreat?"

"Get out!"
