In these two hours, the Konoha forces moved slowly while spreading out to scout, so as not to be bypassed by the enemy's defense line and overrun the village.
Taking this opportunity, Jiraiya also told Hiruzen some information about the Four Paths Pain and the Rinnegan.
Hiruzen was very surprised after hearing this, and became more aware of the strength of his enemy.
He was worried that this enemy was stronger than any enemy he had ever faced before!
As for the source of his information, Jiraiya didn't hide it. After all, Hiruzen had also met Lux that night. The other party's ability to summon the First and Second Hokage had made him have no intention of confronting at all.
If he didn't believe Lux, should he believe Amegakure Village?
"Jiraiya, do you think you can win?"
"Sensei, I can't judge. I just hope that there won't be as much war as possible, which will definitely cause a lot of casualties. But if there is a real fight, I won't hold back!"
Now that he has set foot on the battlefield, Jiraiya is mentally prepared.
"Tsunade, have you recovered?"
"Um."
Tsunade nodded coldly. She wasn't very fond of that old pervert.
"How did you heal?"
"The Second Grandfather healed him."
"What? Tobirama-sensei is here again? So, the Immortal Blessing is here too?"
Jiraiya gave a brief explanation.
Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart.
'So... Immortal has been in contact with Minato and the others lately? '
'Then where are they...'
Combined with Minato's slightly unusual concessions, Hiruzen seemed to have guessed something.
But he no longer cared about those details at this time.
How to defeat this powerful enemy is the most important thing right now!
With Jiraiya and Tsunade here, Hiruzen definitely gained more confidence.
His three disciples actually have their own shortcomings, although they are full of 'pornography, gambling, and drugs'. However, in terms of strength, they are all the best in the ninja world.
Even though the enemy is strong, if the three of them join forces, they will not lose!
At that time, Jiraiya actually clasped his hands together first, preparing to summon Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage.
"Jiraiya, are you preparing to enter Sage Mode first?" Tsunade saw him immediately and asked directly.
"Yes. It takes too long to charge and summon again during battle. It's better to prepare beforehand."
"Aren't you going to persuade your disciple first?"
"Sage Mode doesn't affect my conversation with him! Besides, we can't lose this battle!"
As 'Intelligence', Jiraiya naturally has to deserve to receive information first, and this is not an exploration mission, but a decisive battle!
Once the negotiations fail, once they are defeated, Konoha Village will be finished.
Of course Jiraiya wouldn't hold back.
❀❀❀
The Amegakure forces didn't make Konoha wait long.
Less than two hours, there was a meeting between the scout teams in front of both sides, indicating that the other party had arrived.
Jiraiya was anxious and immediately rushed out.
He would meet Nagato first and try to persuade him.
Tsunade and Hiruzen also led more than ten elite ANBU to follow him.
It would be better if Jiraiya could actually persuade the other party to avoid a major battle. If the negotiations fail and a battle occurs, it would be good if they could separate the Kage-level battlefield so that it wouldn't affect ordinary ninja casualties.
On the other side, after seeing Jiraiya and the others.
The Four Paths Pain who were originally standing behind the summoning animal also fell one after another, stopping Jiraiya and the others.
"Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya and Tsunade of Konoha's Sannin, you are so quick in sending!"
"Does this mean you don't want the war to spread to the village? It seems you are also very afraid of pain!"
Deva Path stood on top of Salamander's head, but Animal Path spoke. In response, Jiraiya immediately shouted:
"Nagato! Forgive me, I mistakenly thought you were dead. I was negligent and did not come to visit you. However, I hope you can stop this war and stop causing more casualties."
"Where is your real body? Let me talk to you!"
As soon as these words came out, Pain's identity was revealed.
This made Nagato's murderous intent towards everyone on Jiraiya's side soar!
He didn't know how Jiraiya knew. But if Hanzo, the bastard who was responsible for blame, was exposed, it meant that Akatsuki was exposed, and it also meant that he had to fight to the death with Konoha Village!
'Jiraiya-sensei, you are still as stupid as usual! This can't be called negotiation!'
Animal Path raised his eyebrows, not preparing for a fight.
"There is no such thing as Nagato, that person has been killed by me, and this eye is also his."
"Jiraiya of Konoha, are you provoking me? Don't forget how you let Amegakure live back then!"
Jiraiya was shocked, hearing the hidden meaning that the other party didn't want to reveal.
So he could only say: "Is that Hanzo? It's because I admit my mistake."
"I wonder how Hanzo can stop this war? It's not good if your village fights Konoha."
In this regard, the Pain side paused for a moment, as if thinking about it.
Then Animal Path made his request:
"Amegakure Village can withdraw its troops, but I have a condition!"
"Say it!" Jiraiya was very happy and asked quickly.
"Hand over Danzo and I will retreat!"
Hearing this, Jiraiya and Tsunade both felt their hearts skip a beat.
"Impossible! I will never hand over Danzo to you!" Hiruzen shouted, interrupting the negotiation between the two sides.
Want him to hand over Danzo to die?
Then we can only walk over his body!
"Then, there's nothing to talk about."
Let the war begin!
"Demi-God... no... this will be the New God's punishment of the Ninja World against Konoha!"
"Today is the day Konoha will be destroyed!"
Deva Path shouted a declaration, and as the first words of disagreement were heard, the war began immediately.
Jiraiya didn't expect his conversation to end so quickly. He still had a lot to talk to Nagato about! There were still many ideas he wanted to persuade Nagato on!
Unfortunately, negotiations are often unreasonable.
Once the bottom line of both sides is touched, it will immediately break out.
Danzo was not the core of Konoha, but the core of Hiruzen.
With Hiruzen here, how could Konoha hand over Danzo!
As disciples, Jiraiya and Tsunade were even less likely to force their teacher to make such a cruel choice.
Besides, even if the decision was left to Jiraiya. It was impossible for him to agree.
As bad as Danzo was, he was still part of Konoha.
His sins could be judged by Konoha, but never handed over to the enemy.
Like Konoha's law, prestige, cohesion, centripetal force, even law enforcement power, autonomy...etc.
Everything would collapse in an instant!
Konoha would be hated by all the villages and hated by the entire ninja world.
Jiraiya couldn't bear this responsibility, and no one could!
Danzo couldn't be handed over; he was trash and had to belong to Konoha!
Therefore, this battle must be fought!
Jiraiya let go of his excessive hopes, and it seemed like he could only wait until he defeated the Four Paths Pain in front of him, and then find the real Nagato to educate him.
