"Lord Jiraiya, I can temporarily hold off this Jinchuriki, you go deal with the other one." The Shadow Clone quickly and succinctly stated.
The next moment, Minato used the Flying Thunder God to bring Mokgetsu's original body over.
With his vast experience, Jiraiya immediately realized that they were trying to catch the Five-tailed Jinchuriki off guard by switching places using the Flying Thunder God, and he immediately began forming seals to prepare to use Immortal Technique.
The situation was urgent, and without saying a word, Minato quickly brought Jiraiya back to their teammates who were being attacked by the Five-tailed Jinchuriki.
"Fire Release: Giant Flame Bomb!"
As Jiraiya landed, he immediately unleashed a powerful Immortal Technique flame towards Han who was charging in.
The massive fireball collided directly with the charging Han, causing significant damage.
Jiraiya didn't waste any time, immediately rushing forward again, bursting with Chakra to deliver a heavy punch to the injured Han.
Bang!
A dull thud sounded as Han was knocked back more than ten meters, unable to control the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Water Release: Water Rush Wave!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu!"
Faced with the approaching attack from Roshi, the Shadow Clone first spat out a large amount of water, then Mokgetsu's original body utilized the immense water flow to form seals and unleashed the enormous Water Dragon Bomb towards Roshi.
The powerful impact of the Water Dragon Bomb forced Roshi's body to be continuously pushed back, and at the same time, the fire on his lava-like body diminished.
"Where did this Water Release expert come from, perfectly countering my power." Roshi frowned, realizing this twenty-meter-long and several-meter-tall Water Dragon Bomb was not something an ordinary person could use, especially not without being on a lake or ocean.
What he hated most were Water Release ninjas, as the only counter he had against them was the Tailed Beast Ball.
Although he felt he could eventually kill Mokgetsu, Roshi was more worried about the injured Han, so he entered a state of Half-Tailed Beast Transformation to aid Han.
To force Jiraiya and the others to retreat, Roshi directly began forming a small Tailed Beast Ball.
Seeing this, Jiraiya and Minato immediately distanced themselves and regrouped with Mokgetsu.
"Han, are you alright?" Roshi cautiously eyed Jiraiya and asked Han.
"It's not life-threatening, but I can't exert my full strength anymore." Han stood up and said.
The Tailed Beast Chakra gave him strong recovery abilities, but Jiraiya's Immortal Technique was powerful, and it would take time for him to fully recover.
"Let's use the Tailed Beast Ball together and then retreat; these guys are difficult to deal with, and continuing to fight will only lead to mutual destruction." Roshi suggested.
In a one-on-one fight, he felt confident he could defeat either Mokgetsu or Jiraiya alone, but if he had to deal with Jiraiya with Mokgetsu's support, it would be challenging.
Add the elusive Minato into the mix, and it would be even more difficult.
"Then let's retreat." Han nodded in agreement.
After all, the Hidden Rock's forces had already lost, so withdrawing wouldn't be an issue.
The two of them then used the Tailed Beast Ball together, and seeing this, Minato used the Flying Thunder God to transport everyone to a safe location again.
The same terrifying explosion and white light, even from afar, one could sense its immense power.
"Truly exciting, this is the second time." Dekai couldn't help but comment.
"Fighting Jinchuriki is really stressful." The black-haired teammate touched the back of his clothes, which were already soaked in sweat.
"Jiraiya-sensei, are we going back to continue fighting?" Minato asked.
"Let's return to the camp. It's too difficult to deal with two Jinchuriki at the same time." Jiraiya shook his head.
Han was seriously injured, but Jiraiya's Chakra was also heavily depleted, so he had no intention to pursue.
"Although we didn't completely defeat them, without a doubt, this time Konoha has achieved a resounding victory!" Jiraiya exclaimed with a big laugh after releasing the Summoning Technique and Sage Mode.
The Hidden Rock had already dispatched two Jinchuriki, whereas Konoha hadn't sent any, yet they won, making it a clear lead.
"Everyone performed excellently this time, especially Minato and Mokgetsu." Jiraiya looked at Mokgetsu with immense appreciation.
He was aware of Minato's exceptional talent, having trained him personally, but Mokgetsu had truly surprised him.
He realized Mokgetsu's ninjutsu foundation was exceptionally solid, and although he hadn't used many advanced ninjutsu, each one he used was extremely proficient and powerful.
If this battle had an output data measurement, Mokgetsu's output value would definitely be second.
Of course, if he had to choose the most valuable support, Jiraiya would still select Minato, as without the Flying Thunder God, he wouldn't have been able to counter two Tailed Beast Balls.
"I never expected, Mokgetsu, that besides your unparalleled culinary skills in the Ninja World, your ninjutsu would be so adept. Compared to me back then, you seem more like Sarutobi-sensei's disciple." Jiraiya said, rubbing his chin.
During the battle, Mokgetsu used three different types of ninjutsu, all proficiently performed, and they could be combined for even greater power.
"Mainly, it's because of Minato's incredible Space-Time Ninjutsu." Mokgetsu smiled, crediting Minato.
In fact, he thought so too in his heart.
In Mokgetsu's eyes, this battle was primarily led by Jiraiya, capable of singularly suppressing a Jinchuriki, followed by the best support from Minato, and then himself.
Through this battle, Mokgetsu also roughly gauged the strength of ordinary Jinchuriki. Fighting them was possible but nearly impossible to kill them.
This was because Mokgetsu couldn't sustain full power longer than an ordinary person entering Sage Mode, as his Chakra depleted rapidly.
"Even if my Space-Time Ninjutsu is strong, someone has to create the opportunity. If it wasn't for your strong Water Release, Mokgetsu, it would have been hard to achieve such results." Minato said, smiling about Mokgetsu's contribution.
"Haha, you two are something else. Minato, if you keep speaking like this, I'll start suspecting you both are secretly brothers." Jiraiya laughed, placing his hands on the shoulders of Mokgetsu and Minato as they praised each other.
"Alright, you're both excellent. You're both key contributors." Jiraiya announced, leading the group back to the rear camp.
