Chapter 503 The Justice Continues to Gather: Jiraiya's Resurrection

Upon seeing this scene, Tsunade and her group immediately frowned.

Before the Allied Shinobi Forces set off, Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly protected all of his talented disciples.

It includes Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga from the Hyuga clan, as well as Neji Hyuga, who is a bit older.

Kiba Inuzuka of the Inuzuka clan, a genius disciple of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and the next head of the clan, alongside Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi.

They were helped to escape by a group of ninja academy students, led by Tenten and Rock Lee, with Sakura Haruno also among them. However, Sakura was the weakest among the students, and the rescue plan was her idea. But she was willing to take the risk for her best friend.

"Run! Run!" More than twenty little radish heads scattered and fled.

The secret agents gave chase, showing no mercy. Family disciples might only be injured, but children from ordinary families were almost certainly killed.

"Stop!" A golden figure rushed out. Naruto was incredibly fast, instantly appearing in front of the ANBU member who was attacking him, and punched him in the chest.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

The strong wind blew the member of the secret service away, sending him crashing into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Another ANBU rushed in from the side, his kunai aimed straight for Naruto's back, clearly intending to kill him.

"You brat, mind your own business!"

A hand reached out from the side and firmly grasped the wrist of the person holding the kunai.

Tsunade twisted it hard.

"Click—"

"ah--!"

The shaman's wrist bent at an odd angle, and the kunai fell to the ground.

At that moment, her hemophobia miraculously disappeared.

She grabbed the man's arm and punched him repeatedly in the face until it was a bloody mess. Then she threw him to the ground like a dead dog and said coldly, "Tell me, what happened?"

The ANBU members recognized Tsunade. He got up from the ground and became respectful. "Lady Tsunade... these brats escaped from the Hokage's special protection area. The Hokage said it was to protect them..."

"Protect?" Tsunade sneered.

"Kicking with your feet? Using kunai thorns? Is that what you call protection?"

The secret agents looked at each other, speechless.

Tsunade crouched down, looking at Nara Shikamaru sitting on the ground, and used a healing jutsu to press on his stomach. "Kid, why did he lock you up?"

Shikamaru clutched his lower back, sweating profusely from the pain, but gritted his teeth and said, "What else could it be? Because our clans are all on the front lines. The Hokage is using us as leverage to ensure the other clans won't betray us. Heh!"

Tsunade never expected that even a child could see things so clearly. At this moment, an inexplicable anger welled up in her heart. If she could, she would take over the Hokage position and set things right.

"Old man... you're really getting worse with age. You'd better step down when you get back this time."

She stood up, looked at the secret agents, and said, "Listen up, release all the children."

"But Lady Tsunade—"

"I said, release!" Tsunade's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable sense of oppression.

"After that... tell all the people of Konoha to be prepared to enter the air-raid shelter at any time."

The secret agents hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and left.

Tsunade turned to Shizune and said, "Shizune, you stay and take care of these children. We'll continue on to the front lines."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade!"

Just as Tsunade was about to leave, she suddenly sensed a powerful chakra fluctuation coming from the direction of the village.

Everyone turned to look and saw a huge purple giant rising from the ground on the outskirts of Konoha Village, wielding a giant sword. Suddenly, a giant toad appeared and blocked its way.

And this toad was none other than Gamabunta. He was smoking a pipe, and he drew his short sword to parry, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal.

"That's... Jiraiya!" Tsunade practically shouted. She paused for a second, then rushed over. The others looked at each other and followed closely behind.

The two clashed in the Forest of Death, and a conflict was imminent.

Tsunade then charged in from behind with a powerful punch, instantly cracking the purple giant. However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the one controlling the giant was actually just an eight-year-old child.

Although he was quite tall, as a medical ninja, he could tell someone's age at a glance.

"Where did this Uchiha come from?" She frowned, after all, he had been traveling around for the past few years and didn't know Sasuke at all.

Seeing that Tsunade still looked so young and beautiful, Jiraiya couldn't help but whistle and tease, "Hehe, Tsunade! I can't believe that after all these years, you're still so young and beautiful!"

Looking up at that young and familiar face, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a sense of longing and nostalgia, completely ignoring his teasing.

"Jiraiya, how... how did you come back to life?"

Jiraiya said seriously, "We can talk about some things later. Now, help me subdue this overconfident brat!"

Seeing the two so affectionate, Sasuke felt even more disgusted.

"I'm here to destroy Konoha. Dead men should not cause trouble."

The golden giant swung his greatsword again. This time, there was no need for the toad to defend him. Tsunade picked up the giant longsword and slammed it heavily onto the blade.

"At such a young age, you're already thinking about destroying the world. I'll teach you a lesson." Tsunade swung her giant blade again, smashing it down heavily.

The enormous purple giant was knocked to the left. "You wretched old woman, how dare you stop me!"

Uchiha Sasuke roared angrily, his eyes spinning rapidly as he prepared to unleash his eye technique to burn them all to ashes.

At that moment, another tall teenager appeared in front of him.

"Don't you dare insult my mother! Wood Release: Rooting Technique."

Kazuya Senju clapped his hands together, and a huge log rose from the ground, like a winding vine, firmly trapping the purple giant.

Even the so-called black flames that can burn anything were absorbed by the Wood Release.

However, his Wood Release technique was still immature, and it broke apart inch by inch after only a short time. The black fire leaves began to burn fiercely and gained the upper hand.

Just as they were about to break completely, four Vajra chains shot down from the sky and bound the giant once more.

It was Naruto, an old acquaintance of Sasuke's.

"It's you! Where is my father? Tell me!" Naruto shouted angrily, blocking his way and demanding an answer.

If he is here, then does that mean Obito's father is also here?

"No, you think he cares about you? Don't even think about it. He's a complete villain, and I'll kill him one day!"

"Don't you dare insult my father!" Naruto charged forward again.

However, the Vajra Seal and Wood Release did not hold him for long before he broke free. The two generations of sunny young men were swept away by his sword like autumn leaves in the wind.
