When you see that you are surrounded, and then, your teammates suddenly appear, what is your first thought?
Don't be afraid, just fight!!
Yes, this was Minato's first thought when he saw Teacher Jiraiya. He never expected to see Teacher Jiraiya, whom he hadn't seen for several years, to appear on the battlefield!!
Tears immediately welled up in his eyes!
Teacher Jiraiya still loves Konoha. He actually appeared suddenly in the Land of Whirlpools during the war. He must have been silently protecting Konoha from behind...
So...
Without another word, Minato instantly appeared beside Teacher Jiraiya, intending to share his combat plan for a quick resolution. Then, he would take the Uchiha clan and leave, minimizing the damage.
But...
Unexpectedly, Teacher Jiraiya smiled and nodded, then patted the head of Gamahiro beneath him, and suddenly...
Minato was tied up!!
"..."
What was this about?
Why did Teacher Jiraiya suddenly tie him up?
Was there some combat plan?
Just as Minato was about to ask...
"I'll take this person away," Jiraiya said with a smile, looking at Sasori. "I guarantee he won't appear on the battlefield again."
Hearing these words...
Minato froze, looking at Teacher Jiraiya with disbelief in his eyes. His most respected teacher, the one who loved Konoha the most, had actually colluded with the enemy?!
Had Teacher Jiraiya betrayed the village?
His heart trembled...
"Why?" Minato took a deep breath, his face calm as he looked at Teacher Jiraiya, hoping to hear him say, "No, I'm not, I love Konoha."
But...
Jiraiya sighed, looked at Minato with relief, then fell silent for a moment before saying, "Minato, you don't understand. I'll explain it to you later."
There's a big shot watching from above. If this continues, Minato, you'll become Konoha's hero.
Kushina will have to remarry.
Your child...
Oh, Minato doesn't have a child yet!!
"..."
Explain?
Hearing Teacher Jiraiya's words, Minato was stunned. What reason could there be for betraying the village he loved most?
Or rather, no reason could justify betrayal!!
So...
Just as Jiraiya was about to take him away...
"Whoosh!!"
Minato, who was on Gamahiro's tongue, suddenly disappeared.
"I don't know what reason Teacher Jiraiya has," Minato said, holding a kunai in his hand, appearing at a technique seal he had secretly carved when he came ashore. He looked calmly at Teacher Jiraiya and said, "But..."
"I am a ninja of Konoha!!"
He absolutely could not stand by and watch Konoha ninjas get hurt!!
"..."
Everyone watched as Minato, who had suddenly broken free from his bindings, still had a technique seal?!
Especially Jiraiya, who never expected Minato to have secretly carved a technique seal when he came ashore!
He felt a wave of emotion...
Truly worthy of someone who learned the Flying Thunder God Technique!
His mind is so meticulous!!
But...
I %￥@...
Jiraiya looked speechlessly at Minato and was about to go tie him up again...
"Leave this place! Sannin of Konoha!" Sasori blocked Jiraiya's path and said calmly, "This is the war of the Land of Whirlpools."
They did not need to rely on others!
Although he didn't know why Lord Jun was doing this, why so few people were sent here, or perhaps...
Why the elite jonin still hadn't appeared!
Lord Komaki and Lord Kai still hadn't arrived yet?
But...
This was the war of the Land of Whirlpools!
They did not need the help of Konoha ninjas.
Even if he was a teacher at the Land of Whirlpools Academy, he was still one of the Konoha Sannin.
And...
He refused to believe that the Whirlpool ninjas couldn't capture this Konoha ninja on their own!!
So...
Sasori led the still-standing Whirlpool ninjas and charged forward.
The honor of the Land of Whirlpools would be protected by the soldiers of the Land of Whirlpools!
However, just as Minato dodged the charging Whirlpool ninjas and was about to destroy another chakra cannon...
A red figure suddenly appeared in front of Minato...
Minato quickly retreated, planning to evade with a spinning kick...
When another figure appeared behind him.
Then...
After a series of moves...
He found that he could no longer use chakra!!
"Long time no see..." Uzumaki Jun said with a smile, looking at Minato. "Minato!"
"It's you!!" Minato exclaimed in shock, looking at Uzumaki Jun before him. Then, he calmed down and said calmly, "Sorry!"
He never expected the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools to appear here.
He sighed bitterly inwardly...
Back then, he had received great kindness from this person, and now he...
"I..."
Before he could finish speaking...
"Kid, Minato, he..." Jiraiya frowned and walked over, opening his mouth as if to say something. "If you..."
In the end, he sighed, not knowing what to say...
After all, this was war!
But if there was real danger, Jiraiya placed his hands behind his back. He would do his utmost to protect Minato.
Uzumaki Jun patted Minato's shoulder, looked at Jiraiya, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous."
He called Sasori over...
"Lord Jun!" Sasori sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sorry..."
"We let the enemy come ashore."
It seemed the equipment needed further upgrades!
Whether it was the chakra cannons or something else...
He would discuss with his father later on how to improve them.
"You've done very well," Uzumaki Jun said, looking at the ninjas lying on the ground and those struggling to stand. He nodded and said, "This space-time ninjutsu is indeed somewhat buggy."
It seemed Minato had held back, only knocking people down without killing anyone.
Indeed, this ninjutsu meant that once mastered, one could fight on equal footing with anyone. Unless 600 billion explosive tags covered all his possible movements, or his loved ones were captured to threaten him, it would be nearly impossible to harm him.
Otherwise...
If he couldn't win, he could always run away!!
Why did AB have to kill off Minato?
Probably because with Minato around, Konoha would eventually unite the ninja world!!
At this moment...
Kai, Komaki, and Hibiki also appeared.
Uzumaki Jun waved his hand, called Hibiki over, and whispered a few words into Hibiki's ear...
Then, under everyone's gaze...
Hibiki nodded with a strange expression and said, "Understood! I will arrange it properly."
He walked over to Minato and looked at him expressionlessly...
"Come with me."
Minato shook his head with a bitter smile, glanced at Uzumaki Jun, and said, "Can you tell me what you're taking me to do?"
His chakra was now sealed, and there were so many ninjas here, including another user of space-time ninjutsu...
The daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools!
How could he possibly escape?
"Relax," Uzumaki Jun said, narrowing his eyes. "I just want you to contribute to the peace of the ninja world!!"
So...
Don't worry!!
Seeing this, Jiraiya inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Uzumaki Jun had no intention of harming Minato. Although he didn't know why Minato was being taken away, since Minato wasn't being killed now, he likely wouldn't be harmed later.
Because there was no need to go through all that trouble!!
Uzumaki Jun also ignored Jiraiya, touched the nearby chakra cannon, looked at Sasori, and said, "How many were destroyed?"
"24," Sasori said, though he didn't know what Lord Jun intended to do, he still nodded honestly. "A total of 24 chakra cannons were destroyed."
"Bang!"
Uzumaki Jun directly smashed a nearby chakra cannon with a Rasengan and said, "How about now?"
"..."
This...
Sasori immediately understood and nodded righteously, saying, "25! I misspoke earlier. A total of 25 chakra cannons were destroyed by the Konoha ninja!"
However...
"Ah!" Uzumaki Jun sighed. Those who study science and engineering are too honest!!
"You miscalculated!!"
Uzumaki Jun looked seriously at Sasori...
"It's 250!!"
"Write it down and report it to Hibiki later."
As the victorious nation, it's not too much to ask for some compensation, right!!
"..."
Hearing this, Jiraiya's face stiffened. This kid...
In the end, he just sighed and said nothing.
Old man...
Sorry!!
As for Sasori...
He nodded in shame. He...
Was still too young!!
"Sorry, I've always been bad at math," he said, looking ashamed at Uzumaki Jun. "I almost caused significant losses for the country."
Yes!!
It was 250!
He had miscalculated.
After the war, he would have to brush up on his math. Otherwise, always miscalculating wouldn't do!
Uzumaki Jun nodded with satisfaction, then...
Taking advantage of Jiraiya's unpreparedness, he pressed five fingers against Jiraiya's abdomen and said, "You'd better not participate in what comes next."
Jiraiya felt his chakra being sealed and his expression changed immediately. "What do you think you're doing?!"
"This is war, after all," Uzumaki Jun said, looking at the approaching fleets of the three great ninja villages. "War..."
"Means people will die!!"
He waved his hand, ignoring Jiraiya's curses, and had others take him away.
"The rest is up to you," Uzumaki Jun said, looking at Komaki. "I will stop the Kage of the other villages."
The rest...
Is the Land of Whirlpools' home field!
Then, using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he returned to the original mountain peak and addressed his clone...
"You recorded everything, right!!"
