"Are you really in such a hurry?"
Deep in the swamp of the Land of Numa, Fukasaku Sennin couldn't help but ask Jiraiya again.
"……if not?"
Jiraiya, whose eyes were shining green, asked casually.
"I just think it's too hasty to fight head-on?"
Fukasaku Sennin sighed and said.
"Are you going to continue to hide in the ravine, and then be plotted by the Uchiha thieves of the shogunate and then dispatch heavy troops to encircle and suppress you?"
Jiraiya's tone and expression no longer showed the respect he had for Fukasaku Sennin in the past, and he said nonchalantly: "Since you want to fight, then fight hard, and beat the shogunate to death in one breath!"
"We must create the majesty of the two holy places! We must fight so hard that the shogunate will not dare to look north! We must fight so hard that Uchiha's red eyes will tremble when he hears the names of the two holy places!"
"No matter what the final victory or defeat of this battle is, as long as we can achieve a record of more than a draw with the ninja army of the shogunate, then our career will have a convincing start in the future!"
"It's no use hiding in the mountains all the time! The shogunate will only get stronger and stronger, and as time goes by, we will be completely regarded as terrorists by those stupid civilians!"
Fukasaku Sennin was speechless.
And Jiraiya's words were one of the main reasons why he was able to convince the great immortals of the two holy places to be willing to spend their wealth to face the shogunate and Konoha soldiers in the ninja world.
"...and Iwagakure and Kumogakure, we should contact these two opposition parties in Konoha."
After a while, Immortal Fukasaku whispered: "If we add the power of the two major ninja villages, we should be more confident..."
"Until we achieve success, Kumogakure and Iwagakure will not take us seriously."
Jiraiya stood up and dusted his butt: "Instead of being kidnapped by them and sent to the shogunate to receive the reward, it's better to win a hearty victory and then wait for them to come to your door for help!"
"I'm going to check out the layout first. Immortal, just take a rest first."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just keep thinking."
After Jiraiya finished speaking, he walked away.
Fukasaku Immortal opened and closed his mouth, but stopped talking.
What happened to Jiraiya...
It felt that Jiraiya had become a little abnormal since he had been in Ryūchi Cave for more than three months. In the past, he had great respect for him! Why are you so negligent now?
"It seems that you are tinkering with some rather obscure conspiracy!"
Jiraiya was walking on the water in the swamp. Suddenly, a beautiful talking snake lowered its head from the tree and said to Jiraiya with a smile: "Besides, it's quite planned. It seems like it's really possible." It’s like the same thing.”
"...Do you want to think about what you are saying?"
Jiraiya stopped, frowned and scolded: "The war is about to begin, but you say such words that make relatives happy and enemies happy. What are your intentions!"
"Don't think that because you are the messenger of Patriarch White Snake, I won't dare to punish you, Princess Tuanjin!"
"I'm just saying it casually~ There's no need to have such a big reaction~"
With a smile, Totsuhime coiled her snake tail and returned to the tree, no longer talking to Jiraiya.
"snort!"
Jiraiya snorted and walked away swaggeringly.
In fact, not only Fukasaku Senshi and Tortsuhime, but also the Ninja Snake Ninja in the other two holy places didn't quite understand why Jiraiya suddenly changed his gender, and began to occupy the territory with great fanfare and start a positional war with the Shogunate and even Konoha.
You know, since Uchiha Tokko's rise, every battle he has won has been a large-scale frontal battle...
Seeing Jiraiya swaggering by, the wise snake-ninja and frog-nin communicated with their eyes one after another, but no one could tell the reason.
"teacher!"
A little boy with orange hair ran up to Jiraiya, panting.
"Yahiko~"
A rare smile appeared on Jiraiya's face, and he rubbed Yahiko's messy hair.
"The fortifications and traps on the south side have been built. I will organize the Ninja frogs to set up traps on the west side later..."
"...be careful, don't tire yourself out."
Jiraiya's eyes flickered a little, but he still said with a smile.
"good!"
Yahiko nodded seriously.
"By the way, teacher..."
Just when he was about to continue working, he suddenly turned back and said: "...If we defeat the shogunate this time, can we save Xiaonan and the others?"
"...Then we may have to capture a few prisoners."
Jiraiya smiled boldly.
"good!"
Yahiko nodded again and ran away full of energy.
"well……"
Looking at Yahiko jumping away, Jiraiya sighed.
The child must be sent away in a way, and he cannot die with himself and a bunch of burial objects...
…
"Are those alien hedgehogs gathering more and more?"
When Uchiha Tokumitsu led his troops to the joint anti-terrorism force headquarters in Takino Country in secret, and after hearing the latest situation reported by Uchiha Shiina, his first reaction was that there must be something wrong.
"Yes."
Uchiha Shiina nodded and said: "There are currently five detachments deployed throughout the Swamp Country to resist the overflow of Ninja Snake Ninja Frogs, but according to the intelligence of the reconnaissance team...the number of those aliens is increasing."
"At the same time, there are twelve detachments that are setting up defenses around the periphery of the Swamp Kingdom, waiting for orders for the next move."
Uchiha Shiina paused, and then added: "The reason why we only invested in five detachments was because we were worried at first that it would scare those aliens and that they would run away after hearing the news, so..."
"There must be something fishy in this..."
Uchiha Tokko felt something was wrong even more.
The reason why he rushed over with only one squad of the Red Bei Corps was mainly because he was worried that too much movement would alert the enemy, so he chose to pack lightly and easily.
But judging from the current situation...
"It seems that those aliens want to fight us head-on."
Uchiha Shiina whispered: "According to the reconnaissance report of the White-Eyed Ninja, various fortifications, traps, etc. have been being built deep in the swamp recently."
"Have the three columns assembled by the United Company in Kawa no Kuni come over immediately!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded and ordered to the attendant ninja.
If that's the case, then I won't be polite.
"In addition, Fubo City has transferred ten detachments, and Kirigakure has sent eight more detachments..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly ordered and began to dispatch troops from all over the ninja world.
"As for the Rain Ninjas... hire a detachment of water ghost troops, they might be of use."
A famous ninja attendant took the order and left.
"As for the village...do you want to mobilize?"
Uchiha Shisui on the side couldn't restrain his desire for expression and took the initiative to speak.
"The anti-terrorism force is the ninja army of the village, and it is not yet time for the entire population to be mobilized."
Uchiha Shiina quickly explained for Uchiha Tokumitsu: "Besides, just a stranger can't make the village go all out."
"Well... then let's transfer the punishment camp over again!"
Uchiha Tokko pondered for a moment and ordered again.
"As you command!"
The attendant ninja immediately took the order and left.
Calm returned in the combat command room of the anti-terrorism force.
Uchiha Shiina and all the combat staff did not dare to take a breath for fear of disturbing Uchiha Tokimitsu who was deep in thought.
"The decisive battle will take place in three days! The civilians of the Swamp Kingdom will begin to evacuate immediately! If those aliens have not escaped by then, then we will kill them all!"
After Uchiha Tokko thought for a while, he made a decision: "As for the barrier, Chief Ashina will lead the sealing team to come to assist, and the personal safety of the sealed ninja must be guaranteed when the time comes!"
"As you command!"
Uchiha Shiina immediately responded seriously,
…
"There are more and more ninja troops in the shogunate..."
On the second night of the shogunate's siege, Fukasaku Sennin found Jiraiya again worriedly.
"I know."
Under the night, Jiraiya's snake eyes exuded a green light, and he replied nonchalantly.
"Little Jiraiya...what exactly are you thinking?"
Fukasaku Sennin was also a little angry at Jiraiya's presumption and disrespect.
"...Does it matter what I think?"
Jiraiya grinned, with an indescribably weird look on his face: "This is the decision of the two great immortals! I can't have the final say!"
"Great Immortal..."
Fukasaku Sennin was speechless.
I have to say that Jiraiya's decisive battle theory does make some sense.
If the route of lurking in secret to cause trouble has failed, then try to gather forces to fight head-on. Maybe the gathered power of the Holy Land is enough to deal a heavy blow to the shogunate.
But in this case, regardless of victory or defeat, the snake-ninja and frogs at the bottom of Ryūchi Cave and Mt. Myoboku will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
The Great Immortal may not care about these things. They only have grand strategy in their eyes and play with the big banner. Naturally, casualties do not matter, but Fukasaku Immortal cannot.
Among those wise Ninja frogs, many are his descendants!
"Fukasaku Sennin...you don't want to disobey the Great Sennin, do you~"
Jiraiya said quietly: "And Toratsu-hime, do you think I'm right?"
"...I have to say, your perception is getting sharper and sharper!"
A beautiful snake emerged from the bottom of the swamp, revealing its pretty face.
Although the swamp is heavy with mud, her (it) body is still white and flawless.
"Did the fragrance on my body reveal my whereabouts~ That would be such a pity~"
Tuan Jinji narcissistically raised her bare wrist and smelled it, with an intoxicated expression on her face.
"No, it's because the Longdi Cave poisonous gas on your body is so smelly that it makes me feel sick."
Jiraiya's words were full of malice, but he still had a smiling rogue expression on his face: "So I have to call you out..."
"snort!"
Totsuhime angrily brushed her sleeves, "Are you still chatting here? Don't you know how many ninja troops from the shogunate have come? Don't we need to take countermeasures?"
"There are about 2,400 people in the joint anti-terrorism force, more than 600 people in the punishment battalion directly under the governor's palace, more than 2,000 people in the joint company coordination army, and about a thousand people in the ninja army directly under the shogunate. On the way, there are also seven ninja soldiers affiliated with Kirigakure. Eight hundred people, and some people from Yu Ninja Village will also come..."
Jiraiya counted on his fingers as a ninja: "Since the exact number of shogunate shogunate departments currently gathered in the Country of Numa and the Country of Taki is not clear, there are probably more than 7,000 ninja troops gathered in and around the Country of Numa. Well... of course, there is a high possibility that it could be as many as eight thousand."
"Then are you planning to let us die in vain under the attack of these seven or eight thousand ninja troops?"
Tuanjinji showed her sharp snake teeth, grinned and said, "Don't you need to think of a way?"
"What else can we do? Besides fighting to the death, what else can we do?"
Jiraiya spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's not like we didn't send out the raiding force today, but what's the result?"
"No one can come back alive!"
"Besides, since the two great immortals have decided to fight head-on, they can't suddenly ask for a retreat now, right?"
"Of course, it's probably not too late to retreat now. The barrier may be set up tomorrow, and it will be troublesome to leave by then."
Jiraiya choked her to the point where she was speechless.
"We have 20,000 frog and snake ninjas here. Are we really afraid of a mere 8,000 ninja army?"
Jiraiya said again: "If this can be defeated, I suggest that it is better to seal the mountain and cave as soon as possible. Don't walk in the ninja world in the future. It's embarrassing!"
"But the supplies won't last more than a few days..."
Fukasaku Sennin sighed and said helplessly.
What Jiraiya said made sense.
With the current strength of both sides, if they are still defeated, there will be no need to worry about it in the future.
But the question is... can 20,000 Ninja Ninja Frogs really annihilate eight thousand Konoha and Shogunate Ninja Army with the help of tailed beasts through defensive counterattack?
It doesn't have much confidence in this either.
But this was a decision made by the great immortals of the two holy places at the same time. No matter how dissatisfied he and Tuanjin Ji were, they would not dare to overturn the decision of their great immortals.
The problem is, leading troops on the front line to fight life and death is just kidding with your own life!
This is completely different from staying in the Holy Land or participating in the war through necromancy!
"That old toad probably came up with such a method because he was in a state of sleep!"
Tuanjin Ji shouted while spitting out the snake letter.
I'm not polite if you say that...
Fukasaku Sennin also frowned and said, "Grandmaster White Snake's cataracts and cerebral congestion are indeed too serious!"
Immediately, after greeting the ancestors of both sides of the Holy Land, they began to perform a full martial arts show on the spot, and the fight was so intense that it was impossible to stop each other.
Jiraiya glanced at the frog and the snake a few times, then touched his nose and walked away voluntarily, making room for the immortal and the goddess to fight.
After Jiraiya walked away, Fukasaku Sen and Totsuhime also stopped fighting each other.
"Jiraiya, that brat...there is definitely something wrong!"
Tuanjin Ji spit out the snake letter and said: "I can't even feel the slightest mood swings in him, as if he is a dead person!"
"...I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Fukasaku Sennin continued to sigh.
"I guess you're not happy about being arranged..."
Tuanjinji snorted coldly, "Now he is served by one of the two holy places. What a blessing it must be! If you don't know how to praise me, then there will be no affection left!"
"Yahiko is from Myoboku Mountain. Even if something happens, don't fight with me!"
Fukasaku Sennin replied calmly.
