The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 236 Jiraiya-sama, why can't you understand me?

Chapter 236 Jiraiya-sama, why can't you understand me?

"What do I have to do with the people from that little ninja village?!"

Itachi suddenly flew into a rage, and his sword strikes grew heavier and heavier, causing sparks to fly from Gamahiro's twin swords.

"Lord Jiraiya, why can't you understand me?"

"I'm doing this entirely for the good of the village!"

"The village has suffered such heavy losses and is burdened with a large amount of compensation. If it doesn't expand outwards, let alone economic recovery, it might not even be easy to have enough to eat in the future!"

"Stop being so childish!"

Wake up!

"Open your eyes and look at reality!"

"This village is already on the verge of collapse!"

"We're fighting a small ninja village now; this is a war we're guaranteed to win!"

Why can't you understand me?

Jiraiya, both anxious and angry, couldn't help but shout, "Itachi, you're such an idiot!"

"All wars are inherently accompanied by death and suffering; anything can happen on the battlefield."

"Where in this world is there any war that is guaranteed to be won?"

Even a small ninja village has its own heroes!

"The Land of Rain is also a small ninja village. It used to have Hanzo of the Salamander, and now it has Nagato and the Akatsuki. They may be small, but they are not weak!"

"A weak ninja village that has never produced a hero could not possibly have survived until now!"

However, Itachi has now gone from one extreme to another.

He roared furiously at Jiraiya, "Shut up, Jiraiya!"

"I won't allow you to slander Lord Ma!"

"I spoke with Lord Ma, and he has a way to conquer the enemy's ninja village without firing a shot, and no one in the village will be harmed!"

"I truly believe what Lord Ma said!"

"If he says it's possible, then it definitely is!"

"You have fallen into the demonic path, Itachi!" Jiraiya cried out.

"No, Jiraiya, it's you who has forgotten your origins and is deluding yourself into thinking about boundless love. You've fallen into the demonic path!"

The two shouted at each other, while Gamabunta and Susanoo fought fiercely.

"It seems words won't solve this problem!" Jiraiya sighed in disappointment, then said to the two toad sages who had suddenly appeared on his shoulders, "I'll have to trouble you again this time, but this time the enemy is a former comrade!"

Shima pursed his lips and chattered, "Little Jiraiya, the Leaf Village of today is not the same as it used to be."

"Instead of wasting your time on these people, you might as well just give up."

"In the thousand-year history of the ninja world, all organizations will rise and fall, and ninja villages will also perish sooner or later."

"You don't need to be so fixated on it."

Fukasaku sighed and said, "Old woman, you know perfectly well that Jiraiya is a stubborn man; he's unlikely to give up. Why are you saying all this nonsense?"

"If he wants to fight, then we'll help him."

"Anyway, we all signed contracts with him, so it's only right that we fight for him."

After being told what Fukasaku the Hermit said, Shima the Hermit fell silent and began to concentrate on preparing for battle.

Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals and spat out a breath.

"Sage Art: Goemon - Steam Tornado!"

A massive amount of toad oil gushed from Jiraiya's mouth, like ocean waves, sweeping across the lake towards Susanoo.

The two toad sages opened their mouths at the same time. One spat out a fire dragon that rushed into the sea of ​​oil, while the other used wind release to enhance the fire dragon.

The combination of the three ninjutsu instantly transformed this place into a hellish inferno.

The burning toad oil climbed rapidly up Susanoo's legs and up the energy giant's body, quickly turning Susanoo into a giant torch.

Under the extreme heat, a large amount of lake water evaporated into steam, rising into the sky. It was then bound by wind-style techniques, forming steam tornadoes that trapped Susanoo within them.

The intense heat was trapped by the steam tornado, preventing any of it from escaping.

"Itachi, Susanoo has been used by An too many times, and many people already know the advantages and disadvantages of this technique."

"Its strength lies in its powerful offense and defense, but it's not without weaknesses."

"Any invisible attack can bypass Susanoo's defenses and directly harm the user."

"How long could your body withstand such high temperatures?"

"I have no intention of hurting you, as long as you don't continue to be used by Kazuma and the others —"

"Shut up, Jiraiya!" Itachi loudly interrupted Jiraiya, brandishing his long sword and scattering the steam tornadoes one by one. "Do you think you've already got the victory in your grasp?"

"While you know my information, I also know yours very well!"

"My Susanoo can fight for a whole day, but how long can your Sage Mode last?"

"Once you're out of Sage Mode, you're just a slightly stronger Jonin!"

Itachi quickly formed hand seals, controlling Susanoo to open its mouth and breathe fire into the sky.

"Water Release. Water Wave!"

In an instant, a torrent of water poured out of Susanoo's mouth, rushing straight up into the sky, then falling back down in mid-air, like a celestial river flowing backward, washing away all the flames.

The mighty water flowed into the lake, spreading in all directions and dispersing all the steam tornadoes that had trapped it.

"Show me your true skills!"

"You think you can defeat me with ninjutsu of this level? That's impossible!"

Itachi charged forward again, swinging his long sword down at Jiraiya's head.

Gamabunta wielded his twin swords and charged forward, engaging Susanoo in another fierce battle.

"Sigh!" Jiraiya sighed, stretched out his right hand, and a blue chakra ball began to spin rapidly in his palm.

Sensing the flow of Sage Chakra, Shima exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah, Jiraiya, are you going to use that?"

"But you haven't mastered that move yet, have you?"

"There's no time for slow practice now," Jiraiya replied firmly. "To defeat Itachi, we must first break through Susanoo's defenses."

"Of all my attack power, this is the only one that might be possible."

As if to strengthen his own beliefs, Jiraiya shouted loudly.

"Believe me, I will succeed!"

"For the village, and for Itachi, I will succeed!"

He grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and focused all his attention on his right hand.

In the ninja world, willpower truly can create miracles.

Driven by unwavering conviction, Jiraiya's blue Rasengan gradually became imbued with the aura of Sage Chakra.
