Chapter 137 Walking Someone Else's Path 【12/20】
However.
Kiyokaze clearly underestimated Jiraiya.
He might be negligent once because of certain things, but he will never be negligent twice.
You can always trust Jiraiya!
As the Third Raikage was about to reach Kiyokaze, Jiraiya appeared.
Seeing Jiraiya, the Third Raikage decisively gave up. His speed gave him a chance to try, and there would be no loss if he failed.
He took a deep look at Kiyokaze and turned away.
Next, it was a matter of chasing and escaping.
"Thank you, Lord Jiraiya."
Kiyokaze breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing the Third Raikage, he would not die, but if he wanted to protect this hard-won grafted identity and the precious body of the Third Kazekage, he would have to expose some special things.
It might make his situation a little delicate.
Fortunately, Jiraiya arrived in time.
"It is I who should thank you, Nikkan, you are Konoha's hero!"
Jiraiya patted Kiyokaze's shoulder with relief.
Jiraiya was no stranger to Sarutobi Nikkan. Just as Kiyokaze and Sarutobi Hiruzen said when they were chatting, if Sarutobi Nikkan hadn't adhered to the bottom line, he might have been corrupted by the two of them.
The two can be considered old acquaintances.
Even in terms of seniority, Jiraiya, as a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Sarutobi Nikkan, as Sarutobi Hiruzen's nephew, are of the same generation.
It's just that the age difference is a bit large.
The Sarutobi clan seems to like having children late in life.
Huh?
With Jiraiya's appearance, Kiyokaze no longer insisted. His originally pale face instantly turned pale, and he staggered under his feet.
It wasn't an act.
But really reached the point of exhaustion.
After fighting three battles in a row, and finally forcibly killing the Two-Tails, the chakra consumption was terrifying.
Especially the last move, almost got out of control.
"Nikkan!"
Jiraiya was shocked and quickly helped him up, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
This was the normal situation. Even Jiraiya couldn't guarantee that after experiencing Kiyokaze's encounter, he would still have chakra left and whether his condition would be better than Kiyokaze's.
He glanced at the quickly retreating Cloud Ninjas and gave up the intention of continuing the pursuit.
Jiraiya still understood the principle of not chasing desperate enemies.
"Stop chasing! Rest in place!"
If the Cloud Ninjas were really pushed into a corner, even a dog would jump over the wall when it was anxious, let alone the Cloud Ninjas who saw no chance of survival.
The quality of Konoha ninjas is still good.
Hearing Jiraiya's order, they immediately stopped and rested in place, treating the wounded, and calculating the losses and results.
War.
Is cruel.
But for some ambitious and capable ninjas, it is also an opportunity.
As long as you get enough merit, you can get corresponding rewards.
After giving the order, Jiraiya looked at Kiyokaze, "How is it?"
Kiyokaze shook his head with a helpless expression, "Not a big problem, the consumption is a bit large, and I almost couldn't control the last one."
Thinking of the last god-like attack that directly killed the Two-Tails, Jiraiya was a little embarrassed.
"It is indeed an amazing move. It turns out that you asked me to choose this location and time to prepare for this move."
"Cough."
Kiyokaze coughed, "The gap between us and the Cloud Ninjas is too big. Since they let us choose the battlefield, of course we have to choose some advantages for ourselves. Originally, I wanted to save this move for the Third Raikage or his son, but I didn't expect that it only killed a Two-Tails."
Looking at Kiyokaze's somewhat regretful expression, Jiraiya pursed his lips.
He felt that Kiyokaze was showing off, but he had no evidence.
If it were a normal ninja, they would definitely be excited at this time. This guy actually felt that killing the Two-Tails was a bit uneconomical.
Jiraiya twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's already very good. I believe that in a short time, the Cloud Ninjas should not be able to organize a large-scale offensive again. This is the greatest benefit for us. You will get the most credit, and I will report it to the teacher truthfully."
"Lord Jiraiya stalled the Third Raikage, which gave me such an opportunity."
Clearly, they were words of humility and flattery, but why did Jiraiya feel a little strange when they fell into his ears?
It seems.
Besides stalling the Third Raikage, he didn't accomplish anything.
Tsk, there is no evidence, and I don't know what to say.
"By the way, Lord Jiraiya, what about Minato?"
Kiyokaze suddenly thought of the surprise attack team led by Namikaze Minato, who was highly expected. Originally, they were Konoha's greatest hope for reversing this battle.
Speaking of Minato, Jiraiya's expression became serious, "The Hidden Cloud Village should have guessed our plan. Ay and Killer B did not appear in the front, and it is estimated that they are defending Minato in the rear. The specific situation is not yet known, but I have already sent a message to Minato. I believe that with his ability, it should not be a problem for him to bring the team back."
Kiyokaze suddenly understood.
"No wonder I didn't see the figures of Ay and Killer B, otherwise our victory this time would not have been so simple."
"Indeed, but it is also because they seriously misestimated your strength. They thought that Tsuchi and Toroi were enough to stall you, but they didn't expect that even the Two-Tails would be dispatched in the end, and you would kill them together."
Jiraiya sighed.
Thanks to Kiyokaze's existence, otherwise, at the end of this battle, even if Konoha was not completely defeated, it would have suffered heavy losses and aggravated Konoha's tight war situation.
"It's a pity, otherwise I could have killed the Third Raikage's talented son."
Kiyokaze said regretfully.
