a few minutes ago.
As the acting Hokage, Jiraiya was lying in the office.
Tinkering with a map of Konoha.
I am thinking about where to build the newly built extra large mixed bathing pool? How big should it be built?
As a result, we were only halfway through planning.
Ahead, under the desk.
A small snake suddenly jumped up and bit Jiraiya.
Jiraiya, who had quick eyes and quick hands, easily grasped the little snake.
And he felt a very familiar chakra aura on him.
"O-Orochimaru?"
next moment.
The little snake opened its mouth and spit out a scroll.
Then, with a vigorous flick, he broke free from Jiraiya's hand and escaped.
Jiraiya stopped playing around and touched the back of his head. He couldn't understand why Orochimaru suddenly contacted him?
But it is basically certain that this is by no means a trivial matter!
Jiraiya opened the scroll and took a closer look.
The next moment, his color changed instantly.
The message inside the scroll is concise.
Just said:
Today, the Akatsuki organization will launch a massive attack on Konoha, and its leader is Pain, who possesses the [Reincarnation Eye]. In addition, Orochimaru and Uchiha Natsume will also participate in the attack.
I hope Konoha can survive this disaster.
Wait until one day, so that Orochimaru himself can destroy Konoha!
After getting this warning.
Jiraiya guessed in an instant that the so-called [Reincarnation Eye] was probably related to his former disciple Nagato.
But, didn’t it mean that the three of them were already dead?
How could it be related to [Xiao]?
Forget it, it's too late to think about this.
The old man must be notified immediately!
If this is true, the village may be facing disaster!
Jiraiya didn't hesitate and immediately rushed to report to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
…
In fact.
Orochimaru does still have some feelings for Konoha.
But it's just a trace.
What he didn't want to see even more.
They are familiar comrades and teachers such as Jiraiya, Sarutobi, and Tsunade.
Die at the hands of others!
After all, these guys have to wait until they can witness their brilliant achievements and their scientific truths with their own eyes.
Only then can you die!
And [Konoha] too.
At least you have to destroy it with your own hands to feel happy!
How could such a good thing be given to [Xiao] at a cheap price?
What's more, give Konoha a little warning so that Konoha can be on guard.
Only then can the battle be more intense!
If [Konoha] were defeated by Pain all at once, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of it!
This is the fundamental reason why Orochimaru issued this warning.
…
After confirming the information in Jiraiya's hands.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also more solemn than ever before.
According to the news from Orochimaru.
[Xiao] Over there, including Pain's Six Paths, there are at least 8 shadow-level combatants!
If you add Uchiha Natsume and Orochimaru.
I'm afraid there are at least ten shadow-level combatants!
On such a scale, let alone dealing with [Konoha].
Against any hidden village, it is almost a crushing level.
As for Konoha.
It's very difficult to gather five shadow-level combat powers with all your strength.
What are you going to do to compete head-on with others?
No wonder Jiraiya was so eager to find himself...
As for whether the news is true.
Neither Sarutobi nor Jiraiya had too much doubt.
After all, they are among the people who are most familiar with Orochimaru.
It was very clear that the other party would not lie on this kind of information, and would not even bother to rely on false information to threaten and intimidate Konoha.
"Hmph! That brat Orochimaru has not forgotten his roots!"
"If he hadn't sent this news, the whole village might have been caught off guard and defeated in an instant..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
To be honest, Orochimaru was his most proud disciple at the time.
And after Orochimaru defected, he was also heartbroken.
I regretted many times why I didn't cruelly keep him in the first place.
But after all, he still couldn't bear it!
Even later, a large number of manpower was rarely sent to hunt down Orochimaru.
Unexpectedly, Orochimaru actually sent such an important warning at this moment.
It can be said that the lessons he taught me back then were not in vain...
…
"Old man, what are you going to do next?"
Jiraiya asked with a serious look.
Even he, who had always been cynical, stopped playing around.
This shows how seriously he takes it.
"We can only trust this information."
"Next, the village may face the most serious disaster..."
"There is no room for us to hesitate."
Sarutobi also frowned and looked stern.
"Shinnosuke, immediately mobilize all ANBU members, root members, cooperate with melee troops, defense troops... evacuate all villagers!"
"Take them to the underground shelter!"
"As you command!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately took the order and rushed to evacuate.
"Jiraiya, go and call Tsunade back! We must borrow her power for this battle..."
"Huh? But I don't even know where she is?"
"This is her place, go!"
Sarutobi quickly informed Jiraiya of Tsunade's location.
As Hokage, how could he not know the location of the princess of the Senju clan?
Before, Tsunade just didn't need any more help.
But this time, she had to be invited back.
After all, she was also one of the former Sannin of Konoha!
"this……"
Jiraiya squirmed, a little embarrassed.
"Go! Is it possible that you want me, an old man, to call her back?" Sarutobi yelled.
"Okay. I'll go, I'll go!"
"It's just that if the opponent really has more than ten powerful Five Shadows."
"Old man, even if I find Tsunade back, it will be difficult for her to defeat her, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head:
"At least Tsunade's healing ninjutsu can reduce many casualties!"
"Anyway, try your best!"
"If you are really invincible, there is no need to be afraid."
"Konoha's heritage is not that simple."
"At the critical moment, I will defeat the enemy at all costs!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen squeezed the scroll of forbidden arts in his hand and said decisively.
"Old man, you..."
"Go! Don't make me kick you out!"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiraiya jumped out of the room without any further hesitation.
He immediately broke out at full speed and rushed towards [Tanshu Street] where Tsunade was.
…
the other side.
Fifty miles northwest of Konoha.
When Natsume and Orochimaru arrived, everyone in Akatsuki had already gathered here and was waiting.
Pain Liudao, Xiaonan, Jue, Scorpion, and Loquat Shizang.
10 people in total.
Except for Obito, Kakuzu and the unknown rough guy, the remaining three people.
The rest of the people are all present.
It can be said that they use their best talents and leave no stone unturned.
He looked like he was sure of victory and determined to win.
Obviously, today's Konoha: Great Danger!
