"Have you decided!"
Tsunade asked in a heavy tone.
Jiraiya moved his gaze from Tsunade's face. Looking out the window.
"Ah!"
"I've decided."
Hearing this, Tsunade sighed helplessly.
Going to Amegakure, that is the Akatsuki base.
Jiraiya's decision is tantamount to sending himself to the enemy. He will face a situation of nine deaths and one life.
The possibility of coming back alive is too small. Tsunade did not respond for a long time.
Jiraiya smiled.
"Don't be so pessimistic, I'm just going to investigate the situation of the Akatsuki."
"I don't intend to destroy the Akatsuki alone."
Tsunade certainly understands this, but investigating the Akatsuki base is also very dangerous.
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade.
"Doing nothing, one day Konoha's Nine-Tails will also be targeted by them. At that time, we will face a group of enemies whose background we don't know at all."
Instead of knowing nothing and being passively beaten.
Mastering the intelligence of all members of the Akatsuki in advance.
It will naturally be of great help in facing the Akatsuki in the future.
If they face that group of terrifying guys without knowing anything. Konoha will pay an extremely heavy price.
And may not even be able to defeat the enemy!
Tsunade understands all this, so she doesn't know how to stop Jiraiya.
"Let Kakashi and the others go with you!"
At this time, Tsunade can only hope that more people can make Jiraiya safer. However, Jiraiya decisively refused.
"Tsunade!!"
Jiraiya called Tsunade's name with an emphasized tone.
The meaning couldn't be simpler. For this kind of mission, there is no need for too many people, instead the fewer the better.
And if the strength does not meet the requirements, acting alone is better and safer than having more people. Tsunade also seems to be confused by concern. As the Hokage, she knows these principles very well.
But the Hokage is human.
After being roared at by Jiraiya, Tsunade became a little silent.
At the same time.
Outside Kirigakure, on the border waters of the Land of Water.
Yuichi and Hidan were walking on the boundless sea. Stepping on the waves towards the direction of the Land of Fire.
Since the Kirigakure mission is over.
Now Yuichi plans to return to the base, on the one hand to help Hidan improve his strength and complete Hidan's mission. On the other hand, waiting for the start of the next Tailed Beast capture mission.
Hidan looked at Yuichi walking in front.
"Why is your Kekkei Genkai power so strong!"
Hidan recalled what happened on the island before, feeling a burst of fear. Even looking back towards the direction of the island now.
That scene still surprised Hidan.
"Damn it!"
Hidan looked at Yuichi with some envy. Sensing Hidan's gaze.
Yuichi smiled.
"Isn't your immortal body ability strong enough!"
The ability of an immortal body is certainly very strong.
But apart from this, Hidan has no other abilities.
"So what if it's strong, but when facing you guys, I have no way at all!"
Hidan complained.
Yuichi:
"This is because you don't have means of long-range attack, just controlling the scythe through ropes, this can't be considered a very strong attack method."
"Once suppressed by ninjutsu or hidden weapons, you have absolutely no way."
Although Hidan didn't want to admit it, what Yuichi said was indeed correct.
In this invasion of Kirigakure.
Even facing the attacks of genin, Hidan had to pay attention and dodge in time. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he got hurt.
"Damn it, Lord Hidan will definitely think of a way to counter long-range attacks!"
Counter long-range attacks?
What way can counter long-range attacks?
Besides finding ways to enhance his own long-range attack means, is there any other way? Hidan's thinking is a bit weird.
Yuichi smiled.
But suddenly thought of something.
Countering long-range attacks, how about Iron Body? Although ninjutsu-type attacks still can't be blocked. But does this count as enhancing Hidan's combat power!
Care if it's useful or not, as long as it can enhance Hidan's combat power. His mission is considered complete.
As for other things, there is no need to care too much! Yuichi suddenly stopped and looked back at Hidan.
Hidan, who was talking, looked at Yuichi in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Yuichi smiled.
"Attack me!"
"Huh?"
Hidan couldn't keep up with Yuichi's train of thought, why did he suddenly ask him to attack him. What for?
Yuichi:
"Quick!"
Hidan instinctively grabbed the scythe behind his back.
"Are you serious?"
"Serious! Hurry up!"
Hidan grinned and laughed.
"Then I won't be polite, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time!"
Scythe waved.
Clang!!
Slashed on Yuichi's neck.
However, under the defense of Iron Body, even if Yuichi stood there and let Hidan attack, he couldn't hurt him at all.
Hidan was speechless.
"Still can't cut in!"
"Want to learn?"
Hidan, who was somewhat helpless, suddenly heard this and looked up at Yuichi.
Yuichi smiled.
"This move is called Iron Body, a move that strengthens one's own defense and can easily withstand sword slashes."
"Do you want to learn?"
Yuichi asked again.
Hidan, stunned in place, hesitated for a full three seconds.
Then suddenly jumped up and gave Yuichi a big hug.
"Of course!"
"Thank you so much, Yuichi, you are really a good friend."
Hidan's enthusiasm was rejected by Yuichi.
Directly flashed and disappeared in front of Hidan, making him pounce on empty air. Teaching Hidan to learn one of the Six Powers, Iron Body.
Although Yuichi didn't know if Hidan could learn it, if he did, Hidan's strength would definitely be greatly enhanced.
Yuichi narrowed his eyes and looked at Hidan dancing with joy behind him. Yuichi was thinking, if Hidan really learned Iron Body. What would his battle scene become like?
Will he become more unscrupulous because of Iron Body? Immortal body plus stronger defense.
Even using Iron Body for attack is also very good. Yuichi feels it's a bit excessive just thinking about that scene.
The enemy tried their best and finally hurt Hidan, but Hidan has an immortal body. Doesn't care about getting hurt at all!
"Alright! Let's hurry back to the base, and then I'll teach you how to cultivate and use Iron Body. Hearing this, Hidan was almost jumping with joy."
And now he obeys Yuichi's orders very much. Completely gone is the look of envy, jealousy and hatred before. Instead, he is very respectful.
The two walked on the sea. Two days later.
Amegakure.
Inside the Akatsuki base.
Nagato was feeling his sinking body. Suddenly Konan appeared.
"Nagato."
Nagato looked up at Konan.
"Is there news about the Six-Tails!"
Konan shook her head.
"Not for the time being, but there is more important news."
"What news?"
Nagato asked.
"While Zetsu was searching for the Six-Tails, he found that Jiraiya left Konoha Village and is approaching Amegakure. After Konan finished speaking, Nagato frowned."
"Approaching Amegakure? Teacher Jiraiya, is he coming to Amegakure?"
Konan shook her head, she didn't know if Jiraiya was passing by or if he discovered something. Nagato coughed a few times, then his eyes rolled slightly.
"Let Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, the four of them go out together to assist Zetsu in finding the whereabouts of the Six-Tails. Suddenly letting them participate in the work of finding Tailed Beasts, what is Nagato planning to do?"
