Chapter 539 Jiraiya's Chapter, Mount Myōboku
Chapter 539 Jiraiya Returns to Mount Myōboku
Ignoring the ramen that had just been served, Jiraiya grabbed Gamabunta Kosuke and ran outside.
"Lord Jiraiya!" Iruka looked over in a panic, holding his bowl of ramen.
"Please pay the bill, Iruka!" Jiraiya left only these words before disappearing into the night.
"Really—" Iruka didn't know what had happened, but the toad had mentioned Mount Myōboku and the human invasion, so it must be something important.
On the streets of Konoha, Jiraiya, holding Gamabunta Kosuke in one hand, leaped rapidly between rooftops, occasionally glancing back.
In the darkness, three Root ninjas were following Jiraiya from a distance.
"Never mind, time is of the essence." Jiraiya wanted to shake off the Root ninjas who were monitoring him, but his anxiety grew and his unease became more and more intense.
So he landed directly in an open area of a park in the village, put the toad Kosuke down, and quickly formed hand seals to perform a reverse summoning technique.
boom!
A cloud of smoke exploded, and Jiraiya, along with Gamabunta Kosuke, were engulfed by the smoke and disappeared from the spot.
Just a dozen seconds later, three Root ninjas landed in the park, but they did not see Jiraiya.
"Where is he?!" One of the Root ninjas looked around anxiously.
"Go quickly and report to Danzo—the Hokage!" another person said.
The three of them immediately vanished.
Jiraiya had already arrived at Mount Myōboku.
As soon as it landed, Jiraiya was submerged by the current and swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater before gradually adapting and swimming upwards.
Soon, Jiraiya noticed that the sunlight shining down from the water above his head was being blocked by a huge figure.
He held his breath and stared intently, only to find it was Toad Hiro!
When Jiraiya swam up, he found that Gamahiro was already dead, his body charred by the fire, and smelling of roasted meat.
Meanwhile, Gamahiro's two ninja swords have also disappeared.
boom!
A loud crashing sound came from afar.
Jiraiya looked up and saw a fiery red giant, over a hundred meters tall, fighting a giant toad over three hundred meters long in front of the great waterfall of Mount Myoboku.
The red giant had wings and was clad in armor. With each swing of its massive, fiery red chakra sword, hundreds of meters long, it sliced off a section of the mountain peak above the waterfall.
Opposite this giant was a toad over 300 meters tall, its body brown and covered in vegetation and moss. It held two ninja swords and was desperately trying to defend itself against the red giant's attacks.
Although it was much taller than the Red Giant, the giant toad was unusually clumsy and not as agile as the Red Giant.
During one battle, the fiery giant swung his sword and chopped off one of the giant toad's hands, causing blood to splatter.
"Oh no! Even the giant toad Iwajuku is no match for them!" Toad Kosuke, who had somehow climbed onto Jiraiya's shoulder, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.
"The Giant Toad of Iwajuku?" Jiraiya's eyes widened. He had never seen such a giant toad before. Was it really that huge?
Jiraiya then immediately surveyed his surroundings and saw that the entire Mount Myōboku had been completely transformed. Seawater from who-knows-where had irrigated the low-lying areas, turning Mount Myōboku into an ocean. On the mountain peaks near the Great Waterfall, there were still traces of human ninjas.
Jiraiya had excellent eyesight and immediately saw that the ninjas were wearing uniform blue-gray uniforms and had Star Ninja headbands on their foreheads.
"They are ninjas from the Land of Stars!" Jiraiya's expression turned serious.
He also recognized what the fiery red giant was.
That's the Susanoo that the Uchiha clan claims only those with the Mangekyou Sharingan can possess!
Even he had only heard about it from the old man before.
That time, it was because Shisui's investigation team had fled back from the Land of Bears in a sorry state, bringing back information about the female ninja named Uchiha Hikari.
So it seems that this red Susanoo is Uchiha Hikaru's Susanoo!
boom!
Another loud bang rang out, and Jiraiya looked up to see a large red toad flying backwards in his direction.
"Bunta!" Jiraiya recognized him at a glance.
Gamabunta's enormous body crashed into the seawater not far from Jiraiya, creating a huge spray of water, which then surged towards Jiraiya in concentric circles.
Jiraiya, carrying Gamabunta, leaped up and landed on Gamabunta's head.
"Jiraiya?!" Gamabunta also noticed the newcomer, but his voice was slightly out of breath.
Jiraiya looked down and saw that Gamabunta's right hand was wrapped in strips of cloth, with traces of blood soaking into the cloth. He was still holding a ninja sword in his hand, but he was clearly seriously injured.
"Big brother, are you alright?" Hama Ken, who was holding an iron fork and a shield, also stepped forward.
"Gamabunta, what on earth happened! Why are the Star Ninja attacking Mount Myōboku?"
Gamabunta's pipe was nowhere to be found. He glanced at Gamahiro floating on the water, then looked up towards the main battlefield and said in a deep voice, "I don't know why these humans are attacking us, but that man is already fighting with the master."
Jiraiya followed Gamabunta's gaze and saw that above the great waterfall, the Great Toad Sage had regained his youthful body and seemed to be performing ninjutsu.
On the other side of the waterfall, a boy standing in mid-air is covered in a golden chakra cloak, with six jet-black Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him.
It's Menma who has entered the Tenseigan Chakra Mode!
"How could this be! Why would Menma launch an invasion of Mount Myōboku?!" Jiraiya stared in disbelief at the scene.
"They're here!" Gamaken's憨厚 voice interrupted Jiraiya's daze.
He looked up and saw several Star Country ninjas standing on the water.
The two people walking at the front made Jiraiya's pupils shrink involuntarily.
"It's been a long time, Jiraiya-sama." Uchiha Shisui walked at the front of the group, holding a ninja sword in his hand, his Mangekyou Sharingan staring at him without any emotion.
"Ah, it's Jiraiya-sama. I'm sorry it's like this when we meet again." Hyuga Hizashi, who was wearing the Jonin uniform of the Land of Stars, also exclaimed beside Shisui.
Both of them were under Jiraiya's command during the Third Shinobi World War, and Hizashi Hyuga even served as Jiraiya's second-in-command, commanding the ninjas of Konoha in battle.
In just a few years, the three men's positions have completely changed.
"Shisui—Hizashi—you two—" Jiraiya looked at Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, then at Hizashi's Byakugan, before moving his gaze back.
Behind Shisui and Hizashi were two tall ninjas: one a shark-faced ninja wielding a strange large sword, and the other a strange ninja with black tentacles emanating from his body.
Jiraiya traveled the ninja world for many years. After returning to Konoha, he also collected information about the Land of Stars and learned the identities of these two people: one was Kisame Hoshigaki, a former rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and the other was Kakuzu, a bounty hunter from the underworld!
They are all S-rank elite rogue ninjas, and now they are also elite Jonin of the Land of Stars. Their strength should not be underestimated!
"Lord Jiraiya." Hizashi took a small step forward, looked at Jiraiya above Gamabunta's head, and showed him the investigation warrant.
He spoke, his voice firm and resolute: "The toads of Mount Myōboku are secretly providing Sage Chakra to Iwagakure, arming the rebel forces there. The Land of Stars will seal off Mount Myōboku in accordance with the law and regulations. If there is any resistance, we will deal with them on the spot."
"Absurd!" Jiraiya retorted loudly, "The three holy lands have a tradition of signing contracts with human ninjas for thousands of years. When did your Land of Stars have the right to interfere?!"
"From today onwards." Shisui took a step forward, his Mangekyou Sharingan glaring menacingly at Jiraiya and the toad brothers.
"The order of the ninja world will be rebuilt by the Land of Stars!"
