Deep in the desert.
The time came one hour ago.
A white-haired traveler appeared in the desert wearing wooden clogs. Logically speaking, wooden clogs are not suitable for walking in the desert and long-distance treks, but if the traveler is a ninja and Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, it is a different matter.
Jiraiya can easily walk on the water, and can look calm even when encountering quicksand.
However, at this moment, Jiraiya's face was filled with a hint of sadness. There were no bathhouses in the desert that lacked water sources, so naturally he could not take his favorite bath.
Even after rescuing passers-by, he didn't see the beauty that made people excited.
There are just men with cracked skin, and women who are stronger than men.
After taking over the mission of the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya traveled day and night to the interior of the Kingdom of Wind. Even though he passed through Konoha, he only passed through the door of the house without entering, secretly glanced at his disciples and grandchildren, and did not meet the third generation.
For the hero Jiraiya, nothing is more important than saving the world.
The novels he wrote are not just fantasies, but life in his imagination.
The wind in the desert is always very strong at night, so strong that the toads are reluctant to come out to chat. This always reminds Jiraiya of the customs of various places. Of course, for the sake of Tsunade, who is so protective of himself, he never drinks flower wine.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he rushed towards the ruins of the Loulan Ancient Kingdom. Jiraiya was eager to see Dragon Vein and start investigating.
At this moment, Jiraiya saw a familiar figure in the distance in the desert, it was his close friend Orochimaru.
Orochimaru seemed to have seen him, but did not dodge, as if he knew he would catch up.
With a flash of his body, Jiraiya disappeared on the spot and stopped in front of Orochimaru.
By the moonlight, Jiraiya discovered that there was another person standing next to Orochimaru, the Red Sand Scorpion.
Regarding the information about the Red Sand Scorpion, Jiraiya had long heard about it in the village. The opponent seemed to be a traitorous ninja of Sunagakure, and was suspected of killing the Third Kazekage. It was so dangerous that even ANBU would give in when they saw it.
When two of the three ninjas meet, they will naturally have a lot to say, but now a third person appears.
Staring at the two people in front of him, Jiraiya said slowly: "Orochimaru, please go back to the village. Stop being a traitor outside. The old man will forgive you."
"You know, I can't go back." Orochimaru circled his tongue and said sadly.
Over the years, he had always said these same old words to Jiraiya every time he met, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to them. However, this time they met, their purpose may be the same, to investigate the dragon's veins.
Jiraiya's Myoboku Mountain and his Ryūchi Cave are both one of the three holy places.
I just don't know if Tsunade also received orders from Shigulin.
"Latent Shadow Snake Hand."
Without any unnecessary nonsense, poisonous snakes emerged from Orochimaru's sleeves, dived underground and appeared at Jiraiya's feet, showing their fangs.
"Ninjutsu, Needle Jizo!"
Before the poisonous snake could get close, Jiraiya's white hair shot out like a thousand sticks, easily piercing the swimming poisonous snake. The poisonous snake that managed to escape had its teeth broken due to the hardness of the white hair.
Before the round of fighting was over, several puppets pounced on Jiraiya, and poisonous smoke and flames came out of their mouths.
Jiraiya did not dodge, and the spreading white hair directly smashed the puppet into pieces. The poisonous smoke and flames could not hurt Jiraiya Fenhao.
"It's just Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas."
Before he finished speaking, Scorpion's crimson amber steel tail was cut towards Jiraiya.
But he listened to it in front of the blue Rasengan, and his intuition told him that the high-speed rotating wind release ninjutsu was not easy to provoke, and Fei Liuhu was one of his few proud works.
Scorpio took a few steps back and said to Orochimaru who was standing aside: "Orochimaru, we are both Sannin, but your strength seems not to be as strong as Jiraiya."
Orochimaru snorted coldly, with an unhappy look on his face: "Scorpion, this is a matter between me and Jiraiya, you don't need to interfere."
"But we are teammates, at least for now."
Orochimaru's defeat made Scorpion very happy, but after talking too much, he did not continue to attack Jiraiya. Jiraiya could easily crush his human puppet, so he could also crush his Hirayu Ko.
Without using the Kazekage puppet, he would have an elusive victory.
Now, he is more willing to appreciate Orochimaru's wonderful expression. It would be better if he can make him suffer.
In the distance, the two people who left the temporary camp appeared on the nearby high ground.
The advantage of the pupil skills allowed them to easily see clearly the battle taking place in the distance. Both parties were familiar to them.
"They are Lord Jiraiya and members of the Akatsuki organization."
Uchibo looked at Hinata Zang aside, waiting for the latter to make a decision. They could not just sit back and watch Jiraiya being besieged, but in what capacity they appeared became a problem.
At this moment, Hyugazo was estimating the combat effectiveness and direction of both sides.
If there were only Jiraiya and Orochimaru, given the ambiguity between them, it would be impossible to kill him, but with the addition of Scorpion, the result is still unknown.
There will inevitably be casualties on both sides, even fatalities.
It doesn't matter whether Orochimaru is dead or not. It's hard to doubt whether Orochimaru can be completely killed, but Jiraiya can't have any trouble for the time being. Without Jiraiya, the apparent backbone, Konoha's combat effectiveness is really worrying.
In addition, Hyugazo is more concerned about the purpose of both parties coming here.
Both Scorpion and Orochimaru are easy to explain, but why did Jiraiya appear in the desert, and it is only less than a hundred kilometers away from the dragon vein.
This inevitably makes Hinata Zang doubt whether their target is the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
While thinking, the battle in the distance did not stop. After pondering for a while, Hinata made a decision.
"Yin, let's go help Jiraiya as a Konoha ninja."
Before they finished speaking, the two of them jumped off the high ground and rushed towards Jiraiya.
Not long after, the two of them appeared next to Jiraiya. Hyugazo took a step forward and directly used Baguazhang to return to the sky, deflecting the incoming ninjutsu attack.
Uchibo, who unsheathed his sword, also chopped up a nearby puppet.
The appearance of the two people directly caused the fighting to stop, and the eyes of both warring parties were also on the two people who joined the battle.
Hyugazo said to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya-sama, do you need help?"
Jiraiya nodded. Logically speaking, he should let the nearby Konoha ninjas leave in this situation, but he recognized Hinata Zang and Uchi Bo and understood that they had considerable strength.
For him, he is no longer a ninja who is a burden.
"It's you guys. I couldn't kill you last time. It's a pity. Are you going to die early this time?" Jiraiya was not the only one who recognized Hinata Zou and Yin. Scorpion also recognized the two people who had met each other.
Last time, because of Shisui's Susanoo, he had some scruples and finally chose to retreat.
Unexpectedly, I met two people again this time.
