Even Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who had just arrived, had their expressions slightly changed when they heard this.
"Sarutobi-sensei... hehe..."
Orochimaru shook his head slightly and sneered in his heart.
In this case, the Third Hokage, who had the longest reign, would lose his reputation even more in his later years!
"What's wrong with you, old man? How did you end up like this?"
Jiraiya hurriedly approached Tsunade and asked urgently.
Before, he and Orochimaru were both standing on the summoning beast, trying to attack the giant eagle in the sky, trying to cut it down or force it back, so they didn't notice their teacher's situation at the first time.
"It was Shangguan Mo's summoned rat beast that did it. The guy who calls himself Uchiha Jerry, just like the intelligence said, has mastered a space-time ninjutsu. Not only can he distort space, but he can also tear objects apart and suck them into another dimension. However...
Because the opponent was at high altitude, this time the opponent's technique not only had no warning, but for some reason, even the attack range of the technique was multiplied several times! If the Ape Demon had not saved the Third Generation at the cost of a leg, this time it might not have been as simple as a serious injury and coma... "
Minato Namikaze's voice was a little heavy.
But for some reason, I felt relieved.
"At least the Sandaime didn't die. This might be a good ending..."
In this way, not only would he not have to live with a deep sense of guilt in his heart, but there would also be no one in Konoha who could seriously hinder his governance.
"Minato, are you saying that the target of this jutsu is actually this old man?!"
Jiraiya turned to look at Minato Namikaze, his brows furrowed.
"That should be... that's right."
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly.
"Damn it!"
With a "bang", Jiraiya punched the ground, and several deep cracks appeared instantly.
"what are you doing!?"
Tsunade, who was maintaining the Palm Immortal Technique, turned her head to avoid the flying dirt and then glared at him in dissatisfaction.
She felt very uncomfortable seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen injured to this extent, and naturally could not tolerate Jiraiya losing his temper in front of her.
"Alright, alright! Senior Tsunade, Sensei Jiraiya, stop arguing. At least the Third Hokage is safe! The situation we're facing now is a bit more troublesome..."
Minato Namikaze quickly spoke to the two angry people to persuade them.
Hearing his words, not only Jiraiya and Tsunade were shocked, but even the elite jonin of Konoha who had gathered around them also changed their expressions slightly.
Yes.
It is indeed sad and infuriating that the Third Hokage was injured to this extent.
But now there is a powerful enemy who is eyeing these Konoha ninjas!
......
Chapter 500 Situation
In the ruins of the battlefield,
Silent for a long time.
More than ten of Konoha's most elite jonin stared blankly at the green ball of light in Tsunade's hand.
At this time, Orochimaru woke up from his meditation
He looked at Minato Namikaze, his brows furrowed slightly. "Fourth Hokage, you said you sensed Rasa's Flying Thunder God's reaction earlier?"
"Yes......"
Minato Namikaze was stunned and suddenly understood something.
Thinking of the unintentional sensation he had during the previous battle, his expression turned a little ugly.
"I can sense that the Flying Thunder God Kunai that I gave to Luo Sha before seems to have appeared in the hands of Shangguan Mo on the giant eagle..."
Minato Namikaze's tone was a little difficult.
Upon hearing this, even someone as cunning as Orochimaru had his pupils shrink.
He fixed his sinister gaze on Minato Namikaze and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?!"
"My intuition shouldn't be wrong..."
Minato Namikaze shook his head with a heavy expression.
Elite jonin like Tsunade and Jiraiya beside them also understood what was said, and their expressions suddenly turned gloomy.
If this is the case, then the situation Konoha is facing at this moment is even more serious!
The atmosphere fell into depression.
After a long time.
"It seems that we still underestimated the strength of the Tangnin Village. You said... Luo Sha will not send out his entire army..."
Tsunade frowned and asked tentatively, but was interrupted by the sound of breaking wind in the distance.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Suddenly, a swift figure flew over from the edge of the forest in the distance.
Namikaze Minato narrowed his eyes slightly, then widened them slightly. "It's the Yamanaka Jonin!"
What he didn't even realize was that there was a hint of expectation in his voice.
A few seconds later, a tall Konoha ninja wearing a yellow-brown short-sleeved coat and with middle-parted hair appeared in everyone's sight.
It was Yamanaka Feng, the head of the intelligence unit of the Konoha force.
Ever since he left the village, he has never appeared in the sight of the Konoha ninjas, but at this moment he suddenly chose to show up.
whoosh-
The sound of the wind stopped, and Yamanaka Feng stopped in front of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
He nodded slightly to his colleagues, and then began to explain the information in a rapid pace.
"Fourth-generation sama, one of our Aburame ninjas accidentally encountered the Sand Village troops led by Rasa while conducting reconnaissance work. They were heading towards the Wind Country at a very fast pace, as if they were afraid that there were enemies chasing them..."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and the others were shocked.
Namikaze Minato was surprised at first, then asked, "Can you identify how many Sand Ninjas there are?"
Shan Zhongfeng shook his head. "I'm not sure, but the number must be at least several thousand."
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, his face turned a little ugly, and he didn't speak for a while.
Orochimaru glanced at him, his lips curled up slightly, and he said lightly, intentionally or unintentionally. "He runs so fast that even the insects of our Aburame clan ninja can't catch up. I don't know... who that guy Rasa is guarding against..."
Jiraiya and Tsunade's pupils widened slightly, and they reacted instantly.
As Konoha's military ally, Sunagakure must have suffered a defeat in the previous encounter with Yuin.
Moreover, if you think about it a little more, you can guess that the casualties and losses of the Sand Village troops must have reached an alarming level.
Otherwise, Luo Sha would not have lacked the courage to face his collaborator Minato Namikaze, but would have chosen to return to the court directly.
"What is he, Rasa, doing? Is Minato the kind of person who would take advantage of someone's misfortune like that?!"
After a moment, Jiraiya understood the key and became extremely angry.
He was not angry at Luo Sha's dark thoughts.
The withdrawal of Sunagakure meant that Konoha and Sunagakure's plan to jointly attack Yuin Village became futile in an instant.
Shangguan Mo, who had gained the advantage in the previous surprise attack, is likely to continue his offensive.
The situation where the two major ninja villages joined forces to fight against the Yu-Ninja is gone, and Konoha needs to deal with the Yu-Ninja alone.
Jiraiya was not afraid, but if this happened, the Konoha ninjas would definitely suffer more casualties!
And this is also the reason why Minato Namikaze was angry.
The following situation was extremely unfavorable for Konoha.
The withdrawal of Sunagakure means that the pressure from the Yugenin has been completely transferred to Konoha.
The plan that had been previously communicated with Luosha to use the flying puppet troops of Sunagakure to deal with the air combat forces of Tangnin was undoubtedly successfully ruined.
The Konoha ninja troops, which had not yet left the territory of the Land of Fire, had already suffered the enemy's air fire attack due to the lack of effective anti-air combat capabilities.
And will Shangguan Mo, who has already figured out Konoha's strength this time, take advantage of this good opportunity to attack them again?
"If it were me, there would be no reason for me to give up this godsend opportunity. After all, Sand Village was defeated, and I only brought less than 10,000 Konoha ninjas with me..."
Minato Namikaze's face was solemn, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Shangguan Mo has always been vindictive.
At this time, Namikaze Minato recognized Fang...
The other party might have already thought about where to bury these Konoha ninjas!
......
Chapter 501 The storm arises
On this day, the Land of Fire was shrouded in dusk.
No matter how Minato Namikaze strengthened his vigilance and defense, Shangguan Mo and his summoned beast never appeared again.
Feeling relieved, he hurried back to Konoha Village with the seriously injured Sarutobi Hiruzen and nearly 10,000 Konoha ninjas.
Time comes the next day.
The land of wind.
The news of Sunagakure's defeat spread from somewhere.
For a moment, the people of the entire Wind Kingdom were shocked and panicked.
They didn't even know when the war started, but news of defeat had already arrived.
