Ninjutsu mixed with natural energy exploded wildly in the forest.
The area where the Kumo ninja troops were located looked like it had been plowed, and no complete land could be seen.
By the time the bombing was over, the Kumo ninjas were all scarred, as if they had experienced a large-scale ninja war.
The Kumo ninja, who was missing his arms and legs, climbed up to the leader and pulled at his trousers.
"Lord Boss, Konoha... Konoha has definitely dispatched elite jounin."
The face of the leader of the ninja clouds was uncertain. His men had suffered heavy losses, but if they gave up now, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
Not only will the information about assassinating the daimyo be leaked, but the son of the Hokage will also be lost as a bargaining chip.
Just when the leader of the cloud ninja was hesitating, he saw a white-haired figure, and then gave the order to retreat without hesitation.
…
"Isn't it possible?"
Hinata looked at Uchibo and asked with worry on his face.
Although Uchibo possesses the Three Magatama Sharingan, he is somewhat lacking in chakra. The improved version of Fire Release consumes most of his chakra after just a few casts.
Although these powerful fireballs are slightly bigger, they are still C-level ninjutsu.
Uchibo nodded slightly and put her hands on her waist. She cast Hyugazo's improved fireball, which was more tiring than casting A-level ninjutsu. If she could not hit the enemy from a distance, she would rather pick up a dagger to fight in close combat.
After a pause, Uchibo looked at the battlefield in the distance and asked, "Have all the enemies been eliminated now?"
"It should be almost done." Hinata looked at the corpse of Kumo ninja lying in the distance and the fleeing Kumo ninja troops, hesitantly.
After all, the enemy is a force pursuing Asuma, and there must be at least some elite jounin there.
He shouldn't be afraid of a few C-level ninjutsu.
Is Asma not worth thirty million now?
"How about we go take a look... there may be a lot of loot there."
Uchibo suggested in a low voice that she and Hinata were pretty good at Hidden Body Techniques. Although they always lost to the perverted green-clad genin in the village, they should still have some chance of winning against the injured Kumo ninja.
Hinata nodded slightly, and quietly approached the enemy's position with Uchibo.
After sneaking for a while, Hinata saw the fleeing Kumo ninjas. They were kneeling in front of a white-haired middle-aged man. The white-haired man's forehead protector with the word "oil" looked familiar.
Then...could it be the Sannin Jiraiya?
I don't want to have any contact with Jiraiya, so I'd better run away first, right?
Hinata pushed Uchibo's shoulder and motioned for her to sneak away quietly with him.
At this moment, Jiraiya, who was near Kumo Ninja, disappeared, and suddenly appeared in front of Hinata Zou, looking at Hinata Zou and Uchibo with slight suspicion.
"You should be ninjas of Konoha. Why do you run away when you see me?"
Jiraiya's aura is very strong. Although he is not calm on weekdays, he is extremely serious on the battlefield.
Taking a deep breath, Hinata didn't dare to look at Jiraiya. Although his sage mode had been released, there was still a risk of being seen through.
More importantly, being remembered by Jiraiya is equivalent to being remembered by the higher-ups in Konoha.
This is very dangerous and not what he wants to see.
After pondering for a while, Hinata raised his head, revealing the mark of the caged bird on his head. He first looked around, showing an expression of surviving the disaster.
"Jiraiya-sama, we are genin of the village. We were chased by Kumo ninja just now. We thought we were going to die. Thanks to you, Jiraiya-sama..."
Hinata's tone was sincere, and Uchihara crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.
Seeing the mark of the caged bird, Jiraiya was slightly relieved. The caged bird on the other person's forehead was not a forgery, and there was absolutely no possibility of betraying Konoha when the Hyuga family split.
Although the girl next to her was wearing goggles, the way she held her kunai looked very much like an Uchiha.
But why would the Hinata and the Uchiha be together? It is obvious that the two families are incompatible with each other in the village.
His eyes wandered between the two of them for a few times, and Jiraiya was puzzled.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, Jiraiya noticed that the captured Kumo ninja was showing signs of escaping.
Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, foam overflowed from the corner of the cloud ninja's mouth and he committed suicide.
What a pity... Looking at the clothes of the leader of the Kumo ninja, Jiraiya secretly thought that the other party should be the leader of the Kumogakure force and had a lot of information. It would be great if he could be tortured to find out one or two things.
He also wanted to take the opportunity of returning to the village to deliver information and go to the Konoha bathhouse to collect information.
Jiraiya couldn't help but salivate when he thought of those white flowers.
"Jiraiya-sama, did you release all these ninjutsu? It's so powerful!"
During Jiraiya's reverie, Hinata Zou had already touched the vicinity of Kumogakure's corpse and began to search for valuable items. He especially targeted the leader who died of poisoning. There must be many valuable items on the leader's body, and even the head can be sold.
A lot of money.
"Be careful with corpses..."
Just as Jiraiya was about to remind the younger generation in the village, he saw Hinata Zou's bulging eyes and slowly lowered his hand.
The genin of this village are pretty good, they actually know some trivial knowledge on the battlefield.
But those ninjutsu were not released by him. Although he could release these ninjutsu, they were really not released by him.
He was on guard just now because of the marks caused by those ninjutsu.
Ninjutsu of that scale can only be successfully performed by at least a jounin. There must be a jounin hiding nearby.
Subconsciously, Jiraiya once again focused his attention on Hinata and Uchiha in front of him.
But their attire is undoubtedly that of genin, and their identity as Konoha ninja has been confirmed.
Will there still be ninjas with jounin strength in Konoha disguised as genin?
After carefully checking the surrounding area, Jiraiya captured several seriously injured Kumo ninjas, but he still could not find the suspect who released the large ninjutsu.
Back at the original place, Hyugazo and Uchibo had already cleaned the battlefield and collected all the valuables.
After struggling internally, Hinata picked up a sack and walked to Jiraiya.
"What do you want to do? If you want to thank me, there is no need. It may not be me who saves you, but someone else."
Jiraiya scratched his head. He could accept others' gratitude calmly, but this time it really had nothing to do with him.
"No..." Hyugazo shook his head and said: "These are Lord Jiraiya's trophies, and they are also our way of expressing our gratitude. Lord Jiraiya must have concerns, I understand, I understand."
Saying that, Hinata blinked and opened a corner of the sack, revealing a discount card.
"Konoha Bath House Discount Card!!!"
Jiraiya's eyes lit up, he crossed his arms and hesitated for a moment, then finally grabbed the sack and put it on his body.
"Then I reluctantly accepted it. After all, it is your gratitude. If you encounter trouble in Konoha in the future, call me Hero Jiraiya. As long as it does not violate Konoha's rules, I can help."
If it doesn't touch the rules of Konoha, if you say it, you won't say it... Hinata complained in her heart, feeling a little regretful about the discount card.
He spent tens of thousands of taels to get that discount card, but unfortunately he never had the chance to patronize it after he got a weird tattoo on his body.
Now it can only be used as a favor.
And just at this moment, Asuma, who came with the Konoha troops, saw the scene of Hinata Zou and Jiraiya's transaction.
Recalling the previous scene, Asuma looked at Hinata Zang suspiciously. The scene was very delicate for a time.
