"What a grand spectacle this is!"
Jiraiya looked around at all the enemies present, the smile on his face undiminished: "It seems that all the Akatsuki members are here, right?"
Though Jiraiya was still smiling broadly, his heart sank bit by bit; confronting all the Akatsuki members was a different experience from observing them in intelligence reports.
Jiraiya couldn't help but start pondering a question in his mind: If all these Akatsuki members invaded Konoha, could Konoha really hold out?
The answer was definitely not!
Putting aside the strength of The Hidden Sand and The Hidden Mist, the recently destroyed The Hidden Rock Village was similar in power to Konoha, yet only about four or five ninjas invaded The Hidden Rock Village at that time, right?
Jiraiya silently clenched his fist, realizing that today he had to go all out here to take down some Akatsuki members, reducing the strength for future Akatsuki invasions of Konoha!
"I really didn't expect this!"
Yakushi Kabuto raised his head to gaze at Jiraiya, slowly pushing up his glasses, and licked his lips: "To think I would meet Lord Jiraiya here..."
"This is..."
Fukasaku Sage's expression changed slightly, his face grim as he spoke: "Has someone finally succeeded in mastering the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode?"
"How is that possible?"
Shima Sage's expression also changed involuntarily.
Snakes are the natural enemies of toads.
The Three Great Holy Lands have always countered each other.
Coincidentally, the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode just restrains the Mount Myoboku Sage Mode, but the training to master the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode is extremely difficult, and it's unheard of for anyone to have successfully mastered it.
Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage never imagined that among Akatsuki's members, there would be someone who mastered the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode.
"So it's this little fellow..."
Jiraiya recognized Yakushi Kabuto and said in a deep voice: "From you, I can sense the presence of Orochimaru's chakra."
"Indeed."
Yakushi Kabuto licked his lips in the manner of Orochimaru and spoke with a light laugh: "Without Lord Orochimaru, it would have been difficult for me to learn such a powerful Sage Mode! Conveniently, I can fulfill Lord Orochimaru's long-cherished wish here..."
"So the one to corner is Naruto's teacher?"
Uchiha Sasuke, standing beside Yakushi Kabuto, frowned slightly, with bones emerging from his body. He spoke coldly: "Either way, he can't escape, so leave it to me! Just the right time to test my jutsu!"
"This is..."
When Jiraiya saw Uchiha Sasuke, his smile slowly faded as he carefully scrutinized Sasuke's purple skeleton: "Is that the legendary Uchiha Clan's Ultimate Dojutsu, Susanoo?"
"Hmph, looks like you in Konoha haven't forgotten the renown of the Uchiha!"
Uchiha Sasuke glanced disdainfully at Jiraiya, as the Susanoo skeleton on him gradually solidified. He continued coldly: "Looks like today I'll take on the Konoha Sannin and exact revenge for the exterminated Uchiha!"
"Uchiha Sasuke..."
Hearing Sasuke's words, Jiraiya thought of the Seventh Class in Konoha and sighed heavily: "Yet another child who's taken the wrong path?"
There's no denying that Uchiha Sasuke has indeed become stronger!
If he can activate the Mangekyo Sharingan's Ultimate Dojutsu, Susanoo, then he truly possesses the qualifications to be an enemy of Konoha and could even pose a significant threat to Konoha.
Just Uchiha Sasuke and Yakushi Kabuto, these two defected ninjas from Konoha, were enough to make Jiraiya and the two Toad Sages feel quite tense.
As for the others...
All of The Hidden Mist Village's Seven-swords Ninja of the Hidden Mist are in Akatsuki, giving an impression as if they have a collector's fixation.
Deidara, Sasori of the Red Sand, Kakuzu, Hidan, Kaguya Kimimaro, Haku.
Konoha collected some information about these individuals; undeniably, each one is a troublesome presence for Konoha, especially when they don the Cloud Black Robe, there's an instinctive perception that their power is formidable enough.
And then there's the Yin-Yang faced Zetsu, with a Venus Flytrap appearance.
This peculiar-looking fellow seems to have gone unnoticed, but every Akatsuki member should not be underestimated.
Also standing in the back are Deva Path of Pain, Konan, and Uehara Naraku.
Facing such a formidable lineup, it was entirely impossible for Jiraiya to escape unless some powerful aid appeared by his side...
"This day has finally come!"
Jiraiya slowly raised his fingers, his body suddenly crouching, saying coldly: "But the chronicles of Jiraiya the Gallant are far from over! Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon!"
A multitude of white hairs transformed into sharp senbon needles, shooting densely toward the Akatsuki members, almost like dark clouds enveloping the area!
"Ice Release: Ice Wall!"
Haku instantly raised his fingers.
An ice wall appeared in front of everyone in an instant!
Unfortunately, the ice wall couldn't withstand such strong impact at all, and within a few seconds, it was pierced through by the Hair Needle Senbon!
In the next moment, a figure stood forward!
Uchiha Sasuke activated his Susanoo, blocking the dense barrage of Hair Needle Senbon, sneering coldly: "Hmph, Konoha Sannin, they aren't much at all!"
