Chapter 105 - Jiraiya's Failure as the Commander
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku looked at each other in shock.
What's the situation?
The war with Kumogakure is over?
After being sluggish for a moment, Nara Shikaku came back to his senses and coughed lightly.
"Quiet!"
"What is the specific situation? Report in detail."
The messenger ninja stepped out of the crowd, cleared his throat, and recounted the battle with Kumogakure in detail.
First, Yuta led more than 100 people to block Killer Bee, and captured Killer Bee.
He even signed a Summoning contract, turning Killer Bee and Eight Tails into his Summoning beast.
Then, the Konoha troop encountered the Kumo troop, and when the two sides were at a stalemate, Yuta arrived first alone.
He easily crushed the Fourth Raikage, and then used the power of Susanoo and Eight Tails to destroy the Kumogakure army.
After listening, Nara Shikaku suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked, "Isn't Killer Bee a perfect Jinchūriki? How can he be controlled?"
The messenger ninja shook his head signifying thay he didn't know anything.
How would he know such a thing?
"There is a legend that Sharingan has the ability to control tailed beasts, but I didn't expect that even the perfect Jinchūriki could be controlled by it."
Jiraiya frowned.
The legend of Sharingan being able to control the tailed beasts originally spread when Madara controlled the Nine Tails to fight the First Hokage.
A few years ago, the Nine Tails Rebellion was also suspected to be because of a Sharingan wielder.
"So the threat on Kumogakure's side has been completely resolved?"
Nara Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right!"
The ninja's eyes shone and they were full of adorationm
"Lord Yuta has returned to the village with all the people who set out to stop Kumogakure."
"Not many people were lost, and Kumogakure was completely beaten this time."
"Now, they're probably trying to figure out how much compensation to give to satisfy us."
Hearing this, the Konoha ninjas around cheered again.
The battle with Kumogakure had already ended, so they would be able to get some support soon.
Compared with the easy end of the war on the other side, they were fighting extremely hard on this side.
Not only did they fail to repel the enemy, but their own losses remained high.
"It would be nice if we were led by Lord Yuta."
Someone couldn't help but complain.
Others couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard it.
The gap between the two leaders, Yuta and Jiraiya was vividly reflected.
Although he spoke very quietly, Jiraiya still heard it, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Did he fail that much as the commander?
Why were other ninjas starting to hate him?
Nara Shikaku coughed and changed the subject.
"Since the war with Kumogakure is over, when will the support come?"
The war here also needs to be ended as soon as possible.
If you fight on the territory of the Fire Nation, the loss will be too great after a long time.
The messenger ninja hurriedly took out a handful of kunai and said, "Lord Yuta asked me to bring this over and said that when I arrive, I can input Chakra into these Kunais."
Hearing this, Nara Shikaku and Jiraiya's expressions changed.
Looking at the Kunai, they saw a flame fan symbol on it.
"Could it be... he has already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Jiraiya was surprised.
"It's possible. Before, Yuta had checked the Scroll of Seals without authorization. Maybe he copied the Flying Thunder God Technique from it at that time..."
Nara Shikaku shut up after speaking.
He did some simple calculation in mind.
After the end of the Uchiha coup d'etat, Yuta went to check the Scroll of Seals, and not much time has passed since then.
Yuta had started to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique at that time, and now he could already use it.
This...
Even the Fourth Hokage didn't learn it so fast back then.
The messenger ninja saw that neither of them spoke, so he injected Chakra into the Kunai.
After a moment.
Swish!
Yuta's figure appeared out of thin air.
"It's really the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
He could be sure that Yuta had appeared out of nowhere.
He now understood why Yuta could defeat the Fourth Raikage.
In the face of time and space ninjutsu such as the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if the Fourth Raikage was known as the fastest in the world, he would be no match.
"You guys are still in the land of fire?"
"There are so many of you but you can't even drive Iwagakure out of the land of fire?"
Yuta said with a dissatisfied expression.
When he rushed over through the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had confirmed the spatial coordinates here, and realized that he was still in the Land of fire.
Isn't Nara Shikaku some kind of genius strategist?
Was he holding back?
"...The person in charge of the overall command is Jiraiya-sama."
Nara Shikaku felt that he had to defend himself.
Yuta glanced at Jiraiya and sneered, "You told me before that don't think too highly of one's strength, what a person can do is limited."
"Now, you've really demonstrated that pretty well."
Jiraiya blushed and almost rolled his eyes in anger.
He tried his best to control his emotions, and said, "Since the matter with Kumogakure is over, I will inform Iwagakure about the battle report, and persuade them to not fight anymore. It should be possible to negotiate with them soon."
"Peace talks? Are they worthy of peace talks with us?"
Yuta didn't hide his disdain at all.
"Not to mention, how could the battle end like this? Iwagakure should be taught a lesson."
Seeing that Jiraiya wanted to speak, Nara Shikaku also persuaded, "Lord Jiraiya, Iwagakure took the initiative to start a war, and now there is no reason for us to take the initiative to negotiate."
"Also, if we take the initiative to negotiate, the compensation Iwagakure will give us won't be..."
"Is compensation necessary? I think it's better to sit down and have a good talk. Compensation or the like is secondary." Jiraiya said.
Hearing this, Yuta and Nara Shikaku's expressions became a little weird.
This kind of thinking was simply too childish.
Was this really Jiraiya, one of the Konoha Sannin?
"Tsk tsk! That old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't ask for compensation because he was cowardly."
"You don't want compensation because of what? Because of stupidity?"
Yuta said unceremoniously.
He thought he knew enough about Jiraiya.
Unexpectedly, Jiraiya's naivety was beyond his imagination.The enemy had taken the initiative to invade Konoha.
Now that they had a huge advantage, he wanted to take the initiative to negotiate, and not care about compensation.
Simply stupid!
Did he think Iwagakure would thank him and change their ways if he did that?
Thinking about it now, Yahiko and the members of the First Generation of Akatsuki weren't killed just because of Hanzo and Danzo's evil character.
Yahiko's own stupidity was also an important cause for this.
Yahiko believed in Jiraiya's way, and in a place like the Land of Rain, the strength of Kage-level was not enough.
Super Kage-level strength is needed to survive against the likes of Hanzo.
"I don't want to listen to your stupid nonsense anymore. Tell me what's going on with Iwagakure."
Yuta directly ignored Jiraiya who was angry and asked.
Nara Shikaku hurriedly said, "Now, Iwagakure and Kusagakure have joined forces. Of course, the main force is still Iwagakure, and there are five thousand ninjas."
"The average strength of the Kusagakure ninjas is not exceptional, but because of some unknown reason, their Chakra and physical strength recover quickly."
Yuta nodded.
Speaking of which, Karin, who has the blood of the Uzumaki clan seemed to be from Kusagakure in the original story, right?
The fast recovery of Kusagakure ninjas should have something to do with this.
"I'll go to Kusagakure to take a look first. If they surrender, it's fine. Otherwise, I will just destroy Kusagakure." Yuta said with a sneer.
"Are you going alone? Isn't that dangerous?"
Nara Shikaku frowned.
Although Kusagakure was only a small ninja village, it was not weak.
Even if he could borrow the power of Eight Tails, he was just one person, there might be an accident.
"If the war can be easily ended now, there is no need to cause more casualties, right?"
Jiraiya tried to discourage Yuta.
He also developed a negative opinion on Nara Shikaku as he didn't seem to think that there was any problem in destroying Kusagakure. He was just worried that it might be a little risky.
"I suggest that you better not get involved in anything. You are too stupid and weak, you can't do anything." Yuta said unceremoniously.
If Jiraiya had the strength of Naruto in the future, and he wanted to carry out his own ninja, that would be fine.
But Jiraiya was not strong enough, and he was extremely naive.
He did nothing every day, except peeping, running around and writing his lecherous books.
He pinned all hope for peace on the son of prophecy.
Simply ridiculous!
After he finished speaking, Yuta ignored Jiraiya and walked alone in the direction of the Land of Grass.
