The Elite Jōnin of the Wind Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom were quickly killed by Jiraiya, and their souls were all sucked into the Soul Bottle by Jiraiya.
After killing all the Elite Jōnin, no one from the Earth Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom's ninjas could compete with Jiraiya. Holding the Thunder and Flame Blade, he rushed into the Earth Kingdom's ninja camp. Every time he raised his sword and chopped it off, a large number of heads flew off.
In less than half an hour, all the ninjas from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind were killed by Jiraiya and his men, leaving no one alive.
The losses on Konoha's side were not great, with less than two hundred ninjas killed, not even a single Jōnin died, so it could be said that it was a great victory.
"Master Jiraiya, we were able to achieve this victory only because of your great strength."
"Long live Lord Jiraiya..."
After the victory, the Konoha Shinobi cheered to Jiraiya with an extremely admiring tone.
"Clean up the battlefield."
Jiraiya nodded slightly at them and then spoke.
This war can be said to be a great victory.
Everyone went to clean up the battlefield, and Jiraiya jumped onto a stone, took out a pen and paper from the storage scroll, and began to write down the course of the battle.
After writing down the battle, Jiraiya called an Anbu member and handed him over to him, asking him to quickly send it back to the village.
They had won a great victory, so naturally they had to inform the village. This decisive victory should make Sarutobi Hiruzen give up the idea of peace talks.
...
Half a year later.
"Master Jiraiya, important information has arrived, saying that the Wind Country's high-ranking officials are completely enraged and are sending the Jinchūriki to the Rain Country."
Inside a Konoha stronghold, Jiraiya sat high up in the seat, and an Anbu member reported to him.
"We are finally going to use the Jinchūriki. Don't tell the village about this yet. Wait until the Jinchūriki from the Wind Country arrives on the battlefield of the Rain Country, then pass the news back to the village."
Jiraiya said to his subordinates.
"As you command, Master Jiraiya!"
The Anbu members nodded and left.
The Anbu, now led by Jiraiya, are more loyal to him than to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Because in the past six months, Jiraiya has led the Konoha Shinobi to capture cities and strongholds everywhere, and defeated the three kingdoms of Earth Kingdom, Wind Kingdom, and Rain Kingdom, so that they could not even raise their heads.
Jiraiya's reputation here has accumulated to a very high level.
Now Jiraiya is leading the Konoha Shinobi and is about to reach the Rain Shinobi Village.
As for the ninjas from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, they were also badly beaten by Jiraiya in the Land of Rain.
Wherever the Konoha Shinobi went, the ninjas from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind would all stay away and would not dare to fight them at all.
The territories conquered by the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind in the Land of Earth were also seized by the Konoha Shinobi led by Jiraiya.
It can be said that the border of the Rain Country is now almost entirely under the control of Konoha.
The Land of Earth and the Land of Wind spent a large amount of ninjas and financial resources, but gained no benefits at all in the Land of Rain.
Jiraiya knew that the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain would never be willing to watch Konoha occupy so many of the Land of Rain's resources.
Because in this way, Konoha will only become stronger and the threat to them will be greater.
But the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind had no choice because Jiraiya was too strong and the ninjas they sent out were no match for Jiraiya.
Because Jiraiya's strength is too terrifying, the elite masters are no longer able to compete with Jiraiya, and they have to send Kage-level masters to compete with Jiraiya.
But no matter which village, the number of Kage-level masters is extremely scarce, and almost all of them stay in the village and will not leave the village easily.
So after the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind realized how powerful Jiraiya was, they gave up the idea of competing with Konoha for territory in the Land of Rain.
However, what the other two countries did not expect was that Jiraiya would become more aggressive and lead the Konoha Shinobi to seize the territory they had conquered.
As a result, the Wind Country was the first to be unable to bear it, and after careful discussion, they prepared to use Jinchūriki to deal with Jiraiya.
Jiraiya had long been expecting the major ninja villages to use the tailed beasts to deal with him.
Because he wanted to unify the ninja world, he naturally had to control all the tailed beasts in his own hands.
The tailed beasts are now under the strict protection of each major village. It would be difficult for Jiraiya to snatch them directly. After all, there are too many masters in each village, and it is impossible for him to snatch many tailed beasts with his current strength.
However, as long as the major ninja villages allow the Jinchūriki to leave the village with the tailed beasts, then Jiraiya will have the opportunity to grab the multi-tailed beast.
As early as a month ago, Jiraiya obtained a method through the sign-in system to seal the tailed beast into his body, and he could directly extract the power of the tailed beast and integrate it into himself, thus completely controlling the power of the tailed beast.
So Jiraiya is now hoping that the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind will send Jinchūriki to deal with him.
The reason why Jiraiya didn't let the village know about this.
That's because once Sarutobi Hiruzen knows that the Wind Country has used Jinchūriki, in order to prevent the situation from escalating further, he will most likely immediately order the surrender of some of the benefits to the Wind Country.
Jiraiya wanted to seize One Tail, so naturally he wouldn't agree to such a thing.
If Sarutobi and Hiruzen knew about this in advance, conflicts would definitely break out due to their different political views.
Jiraiya planned to wait until he had captured One Tail before telling Sarutobi Hiruzen, and by then Sarutobi Hiruzen would have no chance to object.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Jiraiya said.
Uchiha Yan pushed the door and walked in.
"Lord Jiraiya, the battle ahead is still not going well. The defense of Shuiyuan Valley is too tight, and there are too many ninjas stationed there. It will be difficult to take it down with our current strength."
After entering the room, Uchiha spoke with a heavy tone.
"Then let's temporarily postpone the attack on Shuiyuan Valley and let's talk about it later. Let's give everyone some rest."
Jiraiya said to Uchiha Yan.
The Water Valley is an extremely important resource point in the Rain Kingdom. There are a large number of fertile fields on it. Almost all the crops of the Rain Kingdom are planted here, and the Water Valley is also very close to Rain Shinobi Village.
Therefore, if they want to capture Shuiyuan Valley, they must let the village continue to increase its troops. Otherwise, with their current strength, they will not be able to take over Shuiyuan Valley.
He has sent messages to the village many times, asking them to continue sending reinforcements.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude was ambiguous. He wanted to seize the Water Valley, but was also worried that the counterattack from the Rain Country would be too strong. So he couldn't make up his mind for a long time whether to continue sending troops, so the situation was deadlocked.
