Aoi, in Sage Mode, floated quietly in mid-air, majestic like a deity!
Orochimaru, lurking in the corner, spoke up for the first time to dissuade him: "Jiraiya, give up. You're no match for Aoi…"
Hearing this, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and stubbornly said: "I will never give up!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiraiya charged at Aoi. The kunai pointed straight at Aoi's throat, the sharp kunai representing Jiraiya's determination!
However...
"Ding!"
A crisp clanging sound stunned Jiraiya. The sharp kunai fiercely struck the scales on Aoi's neck. No matter how hard Jiraiya tried, he couldn't break through the scales' defense.
The gap in strength was too vast!
Jiraiya was not a genius ninja to begin with. It was only after entering Mount Myōboku that he gradually became stronger...
With Aoi's current strength, even if he stood still and let Jiraiya attack, it would be meaningless.
Aoi extended two fingers and gently pinched the kunai, breaking the hard kunai with just a slight exertion...
"You're too weak!"
As he spoke, Aoi gently threw a punch, sending Jiraiya flying directly. He only stopped after crashing through two walls.
"Pfft…"
Jiraiya spat out a mouthful of blood. Just this one punch had broken four of his ribs.
"Give up, you're no match for Aoi!"
"I will never give up! Even if I can't defeat you now, I will defeat you one day!"
Jiraiya roared through gritted teeth, ignoring the blood flowing from his lips.
Orochimaru shook his head helplessly. Only he, who had fought Aoi before, understood how quickly Aoi was improving...
Last time, he had only defeated himself by relying on that recovery jutsu. But now...
Even if he were to fight, the result would probably be no different from Jiraiya's!
"Such ignorant persistence!"
Aoi actually detested this kind of baseless confidence. Because he respected Jiraiya's reputation as a legendary figure, Aoi chose to end him in his strongest state.
But this baseless confidence felt like it was trampling on Aoi's dignity...
Persistence without strength was as disgusting as chewing gum!
"Even if you're willful, you must face reality!"
With another fierce punch, Aoi caved in Jiraiya's entire chest. But even so, Tsunade didn't even glance at Jiraiya!
Love is like that, like Sakura and Naruto. No matter how much Naruto did, he couldn't change her love!
Blood trickled from Jiraiya's lips. He had completely lost consciousness...
Fortunately, this was a hospital, so his life was not in danger. However, he would probably have to lie in the hospital for several months...
After dealing with Jiraiya, Tsunade finally revealed her sorrow:
Tobirama Senju was injured!
Shamon led hundreds of Sand Shinobi in an ambush. If Tobirama Senju hadn't possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would have been finished...
Konoha's strength was originally far greater than that of the Sand Village, but due to fighting on four fronts, Konoha's forces were too dispersed.
Even though the other three ninja villages were not launching large-scale wars, the Konoha Allied Forces on the Wind Country border were still struggling to cope with the Sand Shinobi who had come out in full force!
"Second Grandpa recently said he was going to the Land of Lightning because if the peace talks with the Cloud Ninja were successful, the redeployed forces would be enough to defeat the Sand Shinobi!"
Tsunade frowned, shaking her head with worry: "But for some reason, I always feel uneasy…"
Land of Lightning, Cloud Ninja!
Aoi couldn't help but frown. He hadn't expected Tobirama Senju to die so early, in the thirteenth year of Konoha.
In this matter, individual strength could play only a minimal role. For the sake of the bigger picture, no one could stop the peace talks from proceeding.
And the two Kage-level powerhouses, the Gold and Silver Brothers, relying on the Nine-Tails Chakra and the Six Paths Sage's ninja tools, went on a killing spree...
In this era, it was almost an unsolvable situation...
The deaths of the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage were the best proof. This was a force that could hardly be stopped by human power...
"I just hope Second Grandpa doesn't get into trouble!"
"Ding…"
Main Quest Triggered: Save Tobirama Senju.

Quest Completion Reward: One hundred thousand points, one 20% discount coupon.

Aoi was stunned...
What was this? A main quest?
More importantly, with Aoi's current strength, which struggled to defeat Reto even with the aid of potions, how could he possibly stop the Gold and Silver Brothers, who were equipped with buffs and possessed super-Kage level strength?
Instantly, Aoi felt immense pressure...
