Chapter 70 Go and deal with the Tailed Beasts!
The main battlefield.
Yahiko and his two companions claimed to be wandering ninjas hired by Souji, who had rescued some wounded Konoha ninjas on the edge of the battlefield.
From afar, we watched as Gamaken, with the help of Konoha ninja, fought two against one.
After a fierce battle that shook the earth, he had now completely suppressed the two summoning beasts of Iwagakure.
Yahiko smiled reassuringly:
"It seems to be going smoothly here. Jiraiya-sensei is really amazing!"
"Yes, I never imagined that the teacher's true strength was so great, he's amazing!"
Witnessing Jiraiya display his true strength on the battlefield, unleashing one powerful ninjutsu after another with wide-range and high damage, the three, who were still at the level of ordinary Chunin, were all amazed.
"That's good, Nagato, you don't have to risk using the Rinnegan!" Konan said happily.
"Hmm, but I wonder how Mr. Mochizuki is doing now..."
The battlefield was vast, and the three of them were unaware of the Souji situation.
Given their limited resources, they couldn't possibly travel everywhere, so there was nothing they could do.
Just when the three thought Konoha was safe.
Nagato suddenly sensed something and turned to look in the direction of Iwagakure!
"Molten Release: Flower Fruit Mountain!"
Old Purple pressed his hands to the ground, and with the help of the Four-Tails Son Goku, the tailed beast chakra surged forth!
The ground in front of the third massive earthen wall instantly transformed into a vast sea of lava!
The large number of Konoha ninja who were attacking were instantly severely damaged!
However, the next moment, a volcano rose from the sea of lava and spewed out a large amount of lava from the top, which rained down on the Konoha ninja from all directions!
This attack caused even more casualties in Konoha!
Although powerful ninjas were able to dodge in time or block the attack with various ninjutsu, ordinary ninjas suffered heavy losses!
"hateful!"
Jiraiya was both shocked and furious, staring at the person responsible for all of this with a grim expression.
The man in the training clothes who suddenly appeared was radiating an immense amount of chakra, which then transformed into the illusory half-body of a giant crimson ape!
"A man in training clothes, a crimson giant ape... Could that thing be the tailed beast of Iwagakure?"
"There's no mistake, teacher, that person is Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure, and the Four-Tails Son Goku!"
Minato approached Jiraiya and looked at Rōshi and the Four-Tails in the distance with an extremely solemn expression.
"He's so far away, yet he can launch such a powerful attack from that distance... Is this the power of a Tailed Beast?"
Besides pondering how to deal with this suddenly appearing powerful tailed beast, Minato also thought of his girlfriend, Kushina Uzumaki.
"Is such a monster also inside Kushina... inside Kushina..." Minato thought to himself.
Jiraiya looked at the Four-Tails.
Like Orochimaru, this was also his first time facing a Tailed Beast.
Although he certainly knew from various intelligence reports and battle records that the Tailed Beast was very powerful, he was not quite sure just how powerful it was.
Jiraiya said in a deep voice:
"Gamaken, can you go and take care of the Tailed Beast?"
"I?"
Gamaken stared wide-eyed at Four-Tails, looking completely bewildered.
I'm fighting a tailed beast? Really?
Gamaken had never fought a Tailed Beast, but he had heard from the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku many times that each Tailed Beast was extremely powerful and beyond their ability to deal with.
It was best not to fight a Tailed Beast, and if it was absolutely necessary, then survival should be the priority.
"Because I'm clumsy, I definitely can't fight tailed beasts, that's what the master says..."
"Did that great toad immortal say that...?"
Jiraiya pondered how to respond.
At this moment, Onoki flew quickly towards Rōshi and shouted:
"You're too slow! Didn't I tell you to stay nearby and be ready at any time?
Why are you only arriving now?!"
"Shut up! Onoki, you have no right to point fingers at me!" Old Purple didn't buy it at all.
To ensure control, each village prioritizes selecting individuals with close ties to the Kage as Jinchuriki.
For example, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, Killer B, is a relative of the Raikage.
Old Purple was no exception.
He was actually a relative of Onoki. His father was of the same generation as Onoki, and the two had a very good relationship.
However, he died in battle against Kumogakure.
Furthermore, Rōshi himself became a Jinchūriki for the sake of Iwagakure, which led to his disagreement with Ōnoki's rule over Iwagakure.
After several arguments, Rōshi left in anger.
Even the strong-willed and domineering Ōnoki, after much consideration, still allowed Rōshi to leave with the Tailed Beast, which was extremely crucial to the ninja village.
Although Rōshi was at odds with Ōnoki, he still loved his hometown, Iwagakure, very much.
Before leaving, he promised that if Iwagakure itself were in danger, he would bring back the Tailed Beasts to help the village.
This was one of the reasons why Ōnoki let him leave.
"Forget it! Come with me!"
At this critical moment in the war, Onoki was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
He didn't care that Rōshi was talking back to him.
He put one hand on Rōshi and cast the Super Light Heavy Rock Technique and Wind Release Ninjutsu on him.
Then he lifted Rōshi and flew into the sky.
Roshi's face showed disdain as he said:
"Flying this high to avoid being attacked?
It seems you've gotten old, old man Onoki, and your courage has waned too?"
"Shut up! What do you know!
You have no idea how many powerful enemies we have! I don't want to do this either, but I have no choice!"
Onoki flew with Rōshi to a very high place and then pointed to the location of the Konoha ninja army.
"Use the Tailed Beast Ball!"
"You don't need to tell me!"
Rōshi communicated with the Four-Tails Son Goku in his consciousness:
"Four-Tails, I need to borrow your power! Is that alright?"
"I'll try my best. Although I also feel it's worth helping you this time, we're not on the same page, so I definitely won't be able to unleash my full power. I'll just do my best," Son Goku replied casually.
"Alright, then let's use the Tailed Beast Ball!"
Old Purple took a deep breath and fully cooperated with Son Goku, releasing an even larger amount of chakra.
The half of Son Goku on his body even seemed to transform from an illusion into a physical entity!
Sun Wukong opened his mouth wide, and an enormous and awe-inspiring surge of chakra erupted, condensing into a black energy ball in front of his mouth.
As the chakra increased, the black sphere became more solid, and the aura it emitted became increasingly terrifying.
"What is that thing?!" Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone on the battlefield was shocked by the terrifying aura of the Tailed Beast Ball and looked up at the Tailed Beast in the sky!
"That's probably a Tailed Beast Ball… The Master said it's the Tailed Beast's most powerful attack! Looks like we're in trouble this time…" Gamaken said.
"That thing can be fired from that distance!?"
"The master said that the Tailed Beast Ball can reach the other side of the ocean... Even if it's not a complete Tailed Beast, this distance is most likely no problem..."
"Everyone, stand back... no! Scatter! Scatter in all directions!"
Jiraiya gave orders to the Konoha ninja army, and then said to Minato:
"Minato, get ready! We're going to use Rashomon together!"
"Understood!" Minato nodded.
