Naruto: My Unique System

Chapter 150: Never Let Your Guard Down

In the midst of the rainforest, the sound of raindrops falling and the rushing water brought by the early monsoon could be heard. If one were to solely listen to these sounds, it would undoubtedly be very soothing. However, what's eerie is the absence of any sounds from small animals or insects.

If it were a person standing in this rainforest, they would likely feel a chill down their spine and their hairs would involuntarily stand on end, because the hostility within the rainforest seems to linger indefinitely.

"Who goes there?"

Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the rainforest. With this voice, even the flowing water of the early monsoon seemed to cease, and the sound abruptly stopped.

The rainforest became increasingly quiet, with only the sound of raindrops falling on fallen leaves and puddles.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise startled hundreds of Konoha Ninjas. They all wielded ninja tools, some already prepared to make hand seals, and looked vigilantly towards the source of the sound. Leading them was a young ninja with long white hair.

"I've been running around for so long, escorting reinforcements for you, and this is how you treat me?!" Hearing this irritable voice, the white-haired ninja actually smiled. He raised his hand to signal the surrounding ninjas not to be nervous, then scratched his head and said, "Tsunade, you're several days later than agreed. I thought something had happened to you."

Although he said so, Jiraiya had no intention of approaching Tsunade in the distance. Tsunade rolled her eyes at Jiraiya, waved her hand, and instantly, over three hundred ninjas emerged from the rainforest.

Tatsuma and Minato both waved to Jiraiya. Seeing his students and disciples, Jiraiya's smile grew even brighter. However, after scanning around, he showed some doubt and asked, "Tsunade, where's Orochimaru? And Nawaki, didn't they come to the front line as well?"

As he spoke, the ninjas around him became alert once again. Although Tsunade and the others in front of him seemed perfectly normal, they still needed to remain vigilant at all times, after all, this was the wisdom of their predecessors.

"Don't look around so much. Nawaki said he wants to go to the battlefield, and Orochimaru is temporarily staying there to guide him. You can contact Danzo's side." Tsunade explained, then Jiraiya quickly said, "Hey! Look at you, speaking as if I don't trust you."

Although he said so, Jiraiya, without changing his expression, gestured to his rear. He himself approached Tsunade a bit, slightly opening his hands in welcome, then continued, "I've been waiting here for you to come back, just haven't seen Orochimaru, which made me a bit worried. However, this batch of Genin you brought is of high quality. There are quite a few I hadn't noticed before."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the faces of the ninjas behind Tsunade. Tsunade knew Jiraiya was still somewhat guarded, feeling a bit annoyed, but still explained, "On the way here, Tatsuma and Minato dealt with several groups of Rain Ninja with them. Although their strength hasn't improved much, they've honed their ability to conceal their movements."

Jiraiya nodded again, finding Tsunade's explanation quite reasonable. At the same time, he drew closer to Tsunade, even entering an unsafe distance. If the other side launched an attack, Jiraiya might not even react in time.

"Heavenly Kick of Pain!" Watching Jiraiya's expression, Tsunade immediately delivered a direct kick.

"Boom!" Smoke erupted, and Jiraiya vanished from sight. Simultaneously, a crater appeared where he had been standing. Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "What exactly are you trying to test?"
