("Jiraiya leading a squad against the Four-Tails and Five-Tails is from Minato's story, not my original plot.)
(Some readers haven't read Minato's story, so I'm clarifying this first to avoid anyone saying Minato never directly confronted the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.)
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a series of deafening roars, the entire battlefield trembled.
Roshi and Han stood side by side, their figures indistinct amidst the swirling dust.
"Tailed Beast Transformation!!!"
Accompanied by a furious roar, Roshi and Han simultaneously unleashed their Tailed Beast Transformation ability.
In an instant, their bodies began to swell, the two Tailed Beasts resembling two moving mountains.
"Jiraiya, one of the Three Sannin, today we will make sure you stay here forever!"
Roshi and Han's voices echoed across the battlefield like thunder.
"If you want to fight, bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki here!"
Roshi and Han's words conveyed immense confidence.
Roshi and Han exchanged glances, their unspoken understanding clear.
They simultaneously opened their massive mouths, and a Tailed Beast Ball instantly condensed within.
It was a gigantic energy sphere formed by the convergence of Tailed Beast Chakra, its power capable of destroying a city.
"Damn it, there's no escaping!"
Jiraiya's face turned grim as he watched the increasingly massive Tailed Beast Ball, a surge of despair rising in his heart.
With his current strength, he couldn't possibly contend with a single Tailed Beast alone, let alone face two Tailed Beasts simultaneously.
The three-person squad led by Jiraiya was now in a desperate situation, tightly surrounded by the two Tailed Beasts with no escape.
Just at this critical moment!
"Flying Thunder God!!"
Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth and unhesitatingly unleashed the Flying Thunder God Technique.
His figure instantly vanished from his original position.
Immediately after, he reappeared at the other end of the battlefield, bringing Jiraiya and the other two squad members with him.
The Flying Thunder God Technique is a Ninjutsu that allows for instantaneous movement; as long as there's a mark, one can traverse space in an instant.
Minato Namikaze, relying on this ultimate skill, successfully rescued Jiraiya and his teammates from their desperate predicament.
Swish!!!
Accompanied by a piercing whoosh, four figures, like lightning, vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye!
Boom!!!
However, the moment they disappeared, an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted!
It was the immense booming sound produced by the Tailed Beast Ball explosion.
The destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion was terrifying; wherever it passed, the sky and earth fell silent, and the ground cracked.
The powerful shockwave swept forth like an angry tide, instantly obliterating everything in its path!
Dust billowed, obscuring vision, and when everything finally began to settle down,
Han couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems they got away, Senior Roshi!"
His voice held a hint of regret and helplessness; after all, their original goal was to annihilate those four individuals in one fell swoop.
Roshi stood with his arms crossed, gazing at the scattered corpses of Konoha Ninja on the ground.
Roshi slowly said, "Sigh, well, we annihilated so many Konoha Ninja, so it's still a victory. If those four ran, then let them run; after all, our main mission has been accomplished."
His tone was calm, but his eyes revealed a slight unwillingness regarding the escape of those four individuals.
"I wonder how Old Tsuchikage is doing. It's been a long time since I last saw him...."
Roshi couldn't help but recall the Second Tsuchikage who had guided him in his childhood.
He had now mastered the power of the Tailed Beast.
And had achieved many military merits on the battlefield.
He had become a hero of the Village.
Just as the Tsuchikage had said back then,
Mastering the power of the Tailed Beast indeed allowed him to reach heights that ordinary people could never achieve in a lifetime, and it also brought him much honor.
"Old Tsuchikage must be almost seventy-six, right? I hope he's in good health....."
Han also nodded and said.
...
"Hidden Mist has joined the war?"
Mū was startled upon seeing this intelligence.
Hōzuki Gengetsu, who was lying in bed, was also shocked.
"What!? Hidden Mist has joined the war?"
Hōzuki Gengetsu's eyes widened, then his eyes turned slightly red, and his voice became hoarse.
"That damnable Third Mizukage, what does he take the lives of the Hidden Mist people for?"
Hōzuki Gengetsu closed his eyes.
Although he was no longer the Mizukage, seeing someone turn the Village he had painstakingly managed into a hell, and then start causing trouble again,
How could Hōzuki Gengetsu not feel heartbroken?
Mū sighed slightly and patted Hōzuki Gengetsu's shoulder in comfort.
"Something's not right..."
Mū frowned deeply, something was definitely not right.
It must be that bastard doing!
Uchiha Madara might have already taken control of Hidden Mist by manipulating its high-ranking officials.
Mū immediately picked up the phone and called Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage.
"Hello? This is Mū, Ōnoki!"
"You need to pay attention to the vicinity of Kannabi Bridge. Go and see if there are any underground construction works near Kannabi Bridge. I have a feeling that bastard might be hiding there."
"Also, pay attention to the location of the Mountain Graveyard!"
Mū immediately relayed the information from the original work to Ōnoki.
Uchiha Madara's exact location was not specified in the original work.
One could only roughly guess the location.
And because of himself, Uchiha Madara's hiding place might be different.
The iconic landmark was the presence of a skeleton.
....
"Understood, Master!"
Ōnoki hung up the phone with a serious expression.
He then immediately dispatched Anbu and Ninja squads to search for traces.
Ōnoki looked at the map, which showed the progress of the Iwagakure army.
"Still not fast enough! What are Amegakure and Kumogakure doing?"
"Why haven't they assembled with the Iwagakure forces yet?"
Ōnoki frowned, feeling that these two allies seemed unreliable.
Originally, Kumogakure, Amegakure, and Iwagakure were supposed to gather at Kikyo Mountain to fight Konoha, but they were still delayed.
...
Hidden Cloud Village.
That's right, the Ay and Fourth Raikage A, were still in Hidden Cloud Village.
Although they had already dispatched troops to invade the three countries, they had not yet made a move against Konoha, nor had they even declared war.
"Dad, when are we leaving?"
Fourth Raikage A looked at the Ay.
"Konoha and Hidden Mist have allied. The anonymous letter we sent to Konoha back then, unfortunately, Konoha didn't take it seriously...."
The Ay rubbed his brow.
"Dad, my partner hasn't been chosen yet....."
Fourth Raikage A reminded him.
The so-called partner was the Raikage's partner.
"Let's wait a bit!"
The Third Raikage replied.
At the same time, a figure appeared inside Hidden Cloud Village.
It was Orochimaru.
Orochimaru successfully infiltrated Hidden Cloud Village.
He was there to obtain Eight-Tails cells.
Currently, Iwagakure itself was impossible to go to.
In a state of war, the Iwagakure Jinchuriki were all on the battlefield, making acquisition difficult.
He didn't dare to touch Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha.
Choosing the Eight-Tails would be much better.
(Regarding B, this character has little coverage; it only says that he saved Killer Bee during the Third Great Ninja War and was Killer Bee's mentor.)
(Alright, good night, go to bed early.)
