Jiraiya saw that he could not enter the iron ore city to gather intelligence.
They planned to capture the captain of a patrol team and return to the base to interrogate him for information.
These patrol captains are all Elite Chunin.
There was no Jōnin leading the team.
It can be said that the ninjas of the Rain Country were very cautious, and the reason why no Jōnin left the city was definitely because they were afraid that the Fire Country would carry out a decapitation operation.
After all, the masters of the Rain Country cannot be compared with those of the Fire Country.
Once they leave the city, even the Elite Jōnin are likely to be killed by the Fire Nation using lightning methods.
Jiraiya knew that the information these Elite Chunin patrol captains knew must be extremely limited.
It is estimated that these patrol captains, Chūnin, have no way of knowing what is inside that building.
But they must be aware of the arrangements made by some ninjas in Iron Mine City.
Knowing the deployment of the enemy's troops will definitely provide great convenience for their subsequent attack on the Iron Mine City.
Jiraiya told Gama Sora to quietly approach the patrol team farthest from the Iron Mine City.
The Rain Country patrol is led by Elite Chunin and consists of four Chūnin.
A patrol team like this poses no threat to Jiraiya at all, and he can easily wipe them out with just one ninjutsu.
Wait until Gamasoba brings Jiraiya towards the outermost patrol team.
"Let me out."
After getting closer to the patrol team, Jiraiya said to Gama Sora.
Then Jiraiya felt his body lighten slightly and left Gamatsu's abdomen.
"Shoplifting."
After Jiraiya came out, he instantly drew out the Thunder Flame Blade, and an extremely powerful bolt of lightning suddenly slashed out.
Jiraiya showed up without warning, and the patrol was unprepared.
Except for the patrol leader, all the other Elite Chunins were struck by lightning.
They didn't even let out a scream as they were cut in half by the lightning and lost their lives instantly.
"Eight Sign Seal."
Before the captain could react, Jiraiya approached him instantly and slapped his abdomen. A large amount of Chakra poured into his body and condensed into runes, forming the Eight Sign Seal in his abdomen, directly sealing his Chakra.
The patrolling Elite Chunin turned pale instantly, but he still quickly shouted loudly, "Everyone be alert, the enemy is attacking..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiraiya slashed his neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.
Jiraiya picked him up and returned to the base.
"Go tell Master Harano that a Jōnin is coming."
The rest of the patrol team, seeing that Jiraiya had captured their companions, did not chase after Jiraiya, but instead one team of ninjas returned directly to the Iron Mine City.
Because their superiors had already issued orders that no matter what happened, they must not leave the Iron Mine City.
After all, defending the iron ore city is the top priority.
So they didn't chase after Jiraiya, and watched Jiraiya take away an Elite Chunin.
Since Jiraiya was able to wipe out a patrol team in an instant, it must be the strength of the Jōnin, which was simply beyond their ability to deal with. Even if they chased after them, they would definitely not be able to intercept them.
You will only lose your life in vain.
As for the Jōnin and Elite Jōnin on their side, even if they got the news, it would be impossible for them to leave the city and pursue Jiraiya!
Because in order to ensure the absolute safety of Iron Mine City, they will never leave Iron Mine City easily.
"How cautious."
Jiraiya whispered when he noticed that no ninja were catching up.
The Iron Mine City is so cautious, it will definitely be more difficult for them to take it down.
Jiraiya returned to the base smoothly, carrying the unknown Elite Chunin.
"Jiraiya adults."
After returning to the base, the Konoha Shinobi guarding the base shouted respectfully when they saw Jiraiya.
"Master Jiraiya is truly amazing. He captured the Rain Country Ninja so easily."
A Konoha Shinobi said admiringly.
Before Jiraiya and his men came, the Jōnin in the base had organized several operations to capture Rain Country ninjas in order to better gather intelligence.
But all ended in failure, not a single one was successful.
Because the area around the Iron Ore City was too empty, they couldn't approach quietly.
In addition, there were more traps around, and they were discovered by the patrol team before they could get close to them.
Jiraiya gave them a slight nod and walked into the base.
"I'll leave the torture to you."
After returning to the base, Jiraiya found Yuhi Junjin and threw the captured ninja at her feet.
Yuhi Junma is the captain of the Anbu team, so she naturally knows how to torture people for information, and she also Grandmasters illusions.
It would be most appropriate to hand over this ninja from the Rain Country to her for interrogation.
"Captain, don't worry, I promise to make him tell me everything he knows." Xiri Chunzhen said confidently when she found out that the other party was just an Elite Chunin.
She asked two of her subordinates to take the ninja from the Rain Country to a wooden house, and she followed him in.
Not long after, the painful cries of the Rain Country Ninja were heard from inside the house.
It was obvious that Yuhi Junin had already begun to torture the other party.
"Master Jiraiya, I am also good at torture. Would you like me to go in and assist you?"
A Jōnin at the stronghold heard the noise and came out. After learning what had happened, he took the initiative to speak.
He is a civilian ninja, so naturally he wants to perform well in front of Jiraiya.
"Can."
Jiraiya nodded and naturally would not refuse.
"Master Jiraiya, to be honest, before you came, we also wanted to capture the ninjas from the Rain Country to interrogate them for information, but all of our attempts ended in failure, and we also lost several of our companions.
Master Jiraiya, you went there in person and captured a ninja from the Rain Country in such a short time.
I really admire you."
Tsuchigumi Feiyun said to Jiraiya with admiration on his face.
He is also a Jōnin in the stronghold.
"I'm just good at a kind of hiding ninjutsu, so I can easily capture a ninja from the Rain Country. Everyone has different strengths." Jiraiya said very modestly.
"Why are Elder Danzo and the Root Ninjas he leads not at the base? What are they doing?" Jiraiya asked knowingly. He had to pretend to be ignorant.
"Lord Jiraiya, not long after you left the base, Elder Danzo led the Root Ninjas to leave the base. As for what they were going to do, I don't know, and he didn't reveal any information to us." Tsuchiya Feiyun replied.
