The moment Naruto summoned Gamabunta, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
"That... that's Lord Jiraiya's Summoning Beast," Kurenai Yuhi said, covering her mouth with a look of surprise on her face.
The rest of the young Ninja were even more incredulous, looking at Naruto standing on Gamabunta's head.
"Is this really... the Naruto from before?"
Sakura couldn't help but take a step back, her eyes wide as she muttered to herself.
Sasuke, standing slightly behind Naruto, couldn't help but clench his fist, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes: Naruto, your strength has grown stronger again!
He didn't know when it started, but Sasuke increasingly found that Naruto's strength was growing faster and faster. However, subconsciously, Sasuke still saw Naruto as the Loser he once was.
But this scene in front of him suddenly made Sasuke realize that Naruto's strength had unknowingly surpassed his.
"Too weak!"
Sasuke raised his head to look at Konoha engulfed in war, and this thought couldn't help but surface in his mind.
At this moment, Gamabunta's expression was somewhat stiff as he surveyed his surroundings.
"Chief Toad!"
Naruto, standing on top of Gamabunta's head, said excitedly.
"Kid, you're in big trouble!"
Gamabunta's eyelids twitched as he spoke to Naruto in a buzzing voice.
Naruto blinked, not understanding the meaning of Gamabunta's words for a moment.
Due to Gamabunta's enormous body, he not only attracted everyone's attention but also instantly drew the gaze of Ichibi Shukaku.
"Compared to a bunch of fleas, something interesting has finally arrived!"
One-Tail Shukaku let out a wild laugh, opened his mouth towards Chief Toad, and forcefully slapped his belly.
Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet!
A giant wind ball directly struck, but Gamabunta remained standing in place, not even dodging.
It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, but that he had almost no stamina left.
Sand Ninja Village, Mist Ninja Village, plus Six-Tails and Ichibi, this is the pace to crush Konoha!
Gamabunta sighed, unable to help but think to himself.
"Chief Toad! Hurry and dodge!"
Naruto, standing on Gamabunta's head, saw the attack coming quickly and immediately shouted.
"Brat, if I didn't have much stamina right now, I'd smack you dead with one hand!"
Gamabunta said coldly, as the last word fell.
Bang!
Gamabunta turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared, clearly having returned to Mount Myōboku.
And Naruto also fell off Gamabunta with a bewildered look, narrowly avoiding One-Tail Shukaku's attack.
Naruto, who had fallen to the ground, clutched his backside and let out a cry of pain.
But the next moment.
Feeling the gaze of countless eyes around him, Naruto quickly closed his mouth. Even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.
On the other side, Jiraiya, who was fighting Six-Tails Saiken, looked at the suddenly disappearing Gamabunta and froze in mid-air.
Gamabunta would absolutely not suddenly return to Mount Myōboku at such a critical moment. So, there was only one possibility for this situation.
"Naruto!!!"
Jiraiya let out a desperate cry.
Jiraiya, in mid-air, had no part of Gamabunta's body to use as a foothold and couldn't even perform basic evasive maneuvers.
He could only watch himself head straight towards the Tailed Beast Ball.
And at this moment, the Tailed Beast Ball had completely formed.
Six-Tails Saiken had no intention of letting Jiraiya, the sitting duck in mid-air, go. He slightly closed his mouth, and the Tailed Beast Ball directly blasted towards him.
My life is over!
Four large characters couldn't help but appear in Jiraiya's mind.
"Your scream is really unpleasant, Jiraiya!"
Just at this moment, a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded beside Jiraiya's ear.
Jiraiya only saw a blond figure flash before his eyes.
Immediately after, a sharp pain suddenly came from his stomach, and he was directly kicked away by this suddenly appearing figure.
The terrifying Tailed Beast Ball grazed past Jiraiya's body and flashed away, slamming into the outskirts of Konoha, causing a massive explosion.
Centered around the Tailed Beast Ball, a large area around it was directly leveled.
Fortunately, the Sand Ninja attacked a relatively remote location on the outskirts of Konoha. If it had been in the center of Konoha, this single Tailed Beast Ball attack would likely have caused Konoha heavy losses.
But even in such a remote area, there were still many Konoha villagers living there. It's likely no one within the range of this Tailed Beast Ball attack could have survived.
Jiraiya clutched his somewhat painful stomach, climbed up from the ground, looked at the figure standing in front of him, and mumbled softly:
"Even if you're saving me, you didn't have to hit so hard—Tsunade."
Tsunade turned her head, a look of disdain on her face, and said with dissatisfaction:
"You idiot, you're so stubborn even when you can't win. If it weren't for that kick from me, you'd probably be nothing but dust by now."
Hearing Tsunade's dissatisfied voice, Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly, but his heart felt a slight warmth.
"This should be the Six-Tails from Kirigakure. What exactly happened? Did Kirigakure attack Konoha?"
After observing Jiraiya slightly and seeing that he had only suffered minor injuries, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious expression.
"It's even worse than what you said. Not only Kirigakure and Sand Ninja Village, but Orochimaru is also involved."
Jiraiya clenched his fist, his face grim.
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Six-Tails Saiken, her tone icy:
"No matter who it is, whoever dares to destroy the Village built by my Grandfather, I won't let a single one of them go, not even Orochimaru!"
Bang!
Tsunade stomped hard on the ground, instantly turning into an afterimage and charging towards Six-Tails Saiken.
Jiraiya saw Tsunade's action and was no slower. He had originally intended to use Sage Mode.
However, if the two of them teamed up now...
Jiraiya and Tsunade's eyes widened simultaneously, and they let out a soft shout.
"Summoning Technique!"
"Summoning Technique!"
A giant Katsuyu appeared at Tsunade's feet, and another giant Toad appeared at Jiraiya's feet as well. However, this time it wasn't Gamabunta, but Gamaken, one of the other high-ranking Toads from Mount Myōboku!
On Konoha's Hokage Rock.
Hearing the scene Ranmaru saw through the Red Eye, coupled with being able to vaguely see this scene while sitting on the Hokage Rock.
Yūto couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"As expected of the Ninja called the 'Most Surprising Ninja', Naruto's move almost sent Jiraiya away."
"A blond woman? It seems Tsunade returned early, which is quite unexpected."
"It's a shame, if it weren't for Tsunade, Naruto would have helped me get rid of an enemy."
After a while, Yūto stopped laughing, but still couldn't help but shake his head, a look of regret on his face.
