Chapter 388: The Distressed Shisui

In the Sage Mode, Jiraiya was terrifyingly powerful. In the original time and space, even when facing the Super Shadow-level Pain Six Paths, he was able to hold out for a long time and even almost defeated the opponent.

It can be said that at the level of Kage, Jiraiya does not have many rivals.

Even so, it would not be an easy task for Jiraiya to defeat Uchiha Shisui.

Shisui, who is known as the Flickering Shisui, has an extremely amazing speed. If one is determined to escape, there are really not many people in the ninja world today who can catch up with Shisui.

After realizing this, Jiraiya began to think about how to take down Shisui.

If nothing unexpected happens, he only has one chance to take down Shisui. Once Shisui is on guard, it will be very difficult to take down Shisui again.

At this time, the nearby Konoha ninjas also noticed the commotion here and rushed over.

In Konoha, which had just passed away the Third Hokage, any disturbance would cause the Konoha ninjas to be extremely vigilant, fearing that the village would be destroyed by hostile forces because of its weakness.

Kakashi and Might Guy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jiraiya appearing here.

In their hearts, Jiraiya was undoubtedly a stabilizing force. As long as Jiraiya was present, there wouldn't be much trouble here.

After quickly arriving next to Jiraiya, Kakashi and Gai looked at Shisui in the distance.

Kai felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had met him somewhere before. Kakashi even recognized Shisui's identity and said in surprise:

"Isn't that Uchiha Shisui who has been missing for many years? Why would he attack Lord Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya shook his head and said, "I don't know why he attacked me, but there is another chakra in his body. Is he controlled by someone else using illusion?"

"Someone is controlling Shisui with genjutsu?"

Kakashi and Kai looked at each other in disbelief, wondering if they had heard it wrongly.

The Uchiha clan, who possess the bloodline of the Sharingan, are born with a high aptitude for illusion. Even if they do not delve into the art of illusion, they will have a high resistance to illusion thanks to the bloodline of the Sharingan.

Uchiha Shisui was the strongest Uchiha back then, and he was not only able to use the technique of instant body movement, but was also very skilled in it.

His attainments in illusion techniques had also reached an extremely terrifying level, causing the enemy's senior ninja to choose to retreat just by sensing Shisui's chakra.

In the battle of Kumogakure, he and Byakuya defeated the Two-Tails Jinchuriki together. His strength may be a little far from the level of the Five Kage, but it is not far away.

It is simply unbelievable that such a strong man could be controlled by illusion.

Jiraiya noticed the expressions of the two people and understood what they were thinking at the moment. In fact, he also found it incredible, but there were indeed two different types of chakras in Shisui's body.

After a moment's silence, Jiraiya said to Kakashi and Kai, "Tsunade has been attacked. You two should come with me to deal with Shisui and make a quick decision."

Hearing this, Kakashi and Might Guy nodded and surrounded Shisui from different positions.

After seeing Kakashi and Might Guy entering, Shisui was also surprised. This was a little different from what he had imagined. Why were Kakashi and Might Guy the ones coming to support?

Needless to say, Kakashi is a veteran elite jonin of Konoha and the pillar of the younger generation.

Although Might Guy doesn't look very smart, he actually possesses extremely terrifying strength. He is rated by Byakuya as one of the top three strongest ninjas in Konoha.

Being surrounded by these people, there is a risk of failure even if you try your best.

If he really failed in this mission, he would betray Lord Bai Ye's trust and miss the opportunity to let Uchiha return to the stage.

We must be fully alert and start the next performance.

After Kakashi entered, he took off his blindfold, revealing his enchanting three-magatama Sharingan. A flash of lightning then appeared in his hand, and he pounced towards Shisui.

Might Guy shouted loudly and directly opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, and green light emerged from his body.

The last one to appear was Jiraiya, who had made a large Rasengan. The three of them attacked Shisui together, making Shisui feel under great pressure.

Faced with the siege of three people, Shisui quickly fell into a disadvantage.

In less than half a minute, Shisui was captured by the three men. His ability to move was restricted by the sealing technique, and he was unable to launch a counterattack.

Walking to Shisui's side, Jiraiya formed seals with his hands and silently chanted "Genjutsu: Release".

After clearing the chakra entrenched in Shisui's body, Shisui first frowned, then showed a confused look, and muttered to himself:
"I am controlled by someone, so why am I here?"

Soon, Shisui noticed Master Jiraiya standing nearby, and said as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Master Jiraiya, Senior Kakashi and Senior Might Guy? Why are you here?"

Jiraiya did not answer Shisui immediately, but looked at Kakashi and Guy. After looking at each other, they seemed to understand something and looked at Shisui again.

The problems that arise with Shisui ultimately have to be solved by Shisui himself.

At this time, Shisui seemed to remember something and shouted to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya-sama, I want to go see Hokage-sama. Danzo attacked me and he wanted to take away my Mangekyō Sharingan!"

When he was halfway through his speech, Shisui suddenly became depressed, sighed softly and said:
"My Sharingan must have been taken away. I'm afraid the Hokage-sama was also involved in this matter. Since you, the Hokage Building, have controlled me, why did you let me wake up again? Is it to humiliate us?"

Shisui's words contained a lot of information, leaving Jiraiya, Kakashi and the others a little confused.

After calming down, Jiraiya and others began to pay close attention to the details.

Shisui said that he was attacked by Danzo and his Sharingan was taken away. This shows that before the night of the Uchiha clan annihilation, Danzo had planned to take action against the Uchiha clan, and he took down the most difficult Shisui in one move.

Secondly, it seemed that Danzo's attack on Shisui was his own decision and had little to do with the Third Hokage.

And the last and most important piece of information is, even if the ninja who attacked Shisui back then was Danzo, then the mastermind behind sending Shisui this time, isn't it Danzo himself?
Danzo actually teamed up with Orochimaru to attack Tsunade. What on earth is going on?

Jiraiya felt his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to do. If Danzo really colluded with Orochimaru, then the death of the Third Hokage teacher would also be related to Danzo.

The Konoha collapse plan a month ago turned out to be an internal conflict within the Hokage faction.

Kakashi and Gai didn't have much information, but after seeing Jiraiya's expression, they understood something and knew that something big must have happened in the village.

In order not to disturb Jiraiya, Kakashi and Might Guy took the initiative to start a chat with Shisui.

Shisui looked at Kakashi and said with a complicated expression: "Tell me, how do you plan to humiliate me and the Uchiha clan? I shouldn't have trusted the Third Hokage and the ninjas of the Hokage lineage." Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, then said: "Shisui, the Third Hokage died a month ago. In order to protect Konoha, he died in Orochimaru's plan."

"The Third Hokage is dead?" Shisui was a little surprised, then said, "What about the Uchiha? Are my clansmen involved in this plan? They have always wanted to become Hokage."

Kakashi shook his head, then said, "The Uchiha were destroyed a long time ago. The ninja who destroyed the Uchiha was your friend Uchiha Itachi. He killed all the Uchiha."

"This is impossible?!"

Shisui stared at Kakashi and said, "Itachi can't possibly attack his clan members. He is the bridge between the clan and the village. Anyone can attack his clan members, except him."

Kakashi understood Shisui's feelings, but still said:

"This is the truth. In order to avoid a conflict between the village and the family, Uchiha Itachi chose this extreme approach. However, he wiped out all the Uchiha, leaving only his younger brother Sasuke."

"The Third Hokage is dead, and the Uchiha clan is destroyed..."

Shisui sat on the ground and said to himself:
"I need to be alone and think quietly. The ninja world is changing too fast. I clearly felt like I was just having a nightmare, but when I woke up I had to face a more cruel reality."

"Besides me, Sasuke is the only Uchiha left in the village."

Kakashi sighed and consoled, "Shisui, maybe the Uchiha are not dead. When I went to search the land of my Uchiha clan, I found that more than half of the bodies were missing. Maybe they are still alive."

Hearing this, Shisui became more alert and looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi actually figured out part of the truth. Is this worthy of being called Kakashi, the ninja technician? His analytical ability is so strong.

Jiraiya, who had recovered from his shock, came over and patted Shisui's shoulder:

"I have roughly guessed what you have been through over the years. When this matter is over, I will bring justice to the Uchiha and will make sure that Danzo gets the punishment he deserves."

At this point, Jiraiya's eyes contained murderous intent that was difficult to conceal.

Just now, he deduced Danzo's behavior and motives. Danzo's motive for cooperating with Orochimaru was undoubtedly to become Hokage.

Whether it was attacking the Third Hokage or Tsunade, it was all for the purpose of becoming Hokage.

When the Third Hokage teacher was still alive, no matter how hard Danzo tried, he would not be able to become Hokage. After the Third Hokage teacher died, he and Tsunade would become the popular candidates for Hokage.

Since he did not want to be Hokage, Danzo's only competitor was Tsunade.

Just imagine, if he himself was unwilling to serve as Hokage, as long as Tsunade was dealt with, Danzo would naturally become the Fifth Hokage of the village.

Faced with such an unscrupulous Danzo, Jiraiya has already regarded him as an enemy rather than a companion.

In order to protect the peace of the village, Konoha needs departments like the Anbu and the Root to do the dirty work, to prevent the enemy from causing damage within the territory while launching infiltration and sabotage operations against the enemy country.

There is nothing wrong with using these shady means against the enemy, but it is absolutely taboo to use them on your own people.

Danzo actually did so many things to betray the village and the will of fire in order to become Hokage. He must be brought to justice.

After a pause, Jiraiya continued, "Kakashi, Kai, go inform the ninjas in the senior ninja squad and ask them to come over. I have something important to discuss with them."

After receiving the order, Kakashi and Might Guy immediately left.

Jiraiya looked at Shisui and said, "Shisui, you wait here with me. During this time, I will tell you what happened in the past few years."

Shisui nodded, smiled wryly and said, "Then let's listen to Master Jiraiya."

……

At the same time, on the battlefield where Orochimaru and Tsunade were.

After using mouth-to-mouth to delay enough time, Orochimaru finally saw Danzo, and the Root ninjas under Danzo launched an attack on Tsunade.

Tsunade, who was already weak, was no match for Orochimaru and soon fell into a desperate situation.

Just as Orochimaru's Kusanagi sword was about to pierce Tsunade's body, Danzo shot out the Wind Style Shuriken in his hand, and the shuriken containing the Wind Style Chakra slashed towards Orochimaru's arm.

Orochimaru sensed the danger from the side, took a step back and blocked the shuriken attack with the Kusanagi sword.

With a clang, Orochimaru felt a numbness in the palm of his hand. It was not an easy task for him to forcibly block the shuriken that attacked with wind style.

If the Kusanagi sword was not hard enough, it would have been cut off by the wind shuriken.

After rescuing Tsunade from Orochimaru, Danzo said indifferently: "Tsunade-sama, if you are not strong enough, don't force yourself. You are afraid of blood, so you are no match for Orochimaru."

"It is better to leave this kind of traitor who betrays the village to the Root to deal with."

Before he finished speaking, the ninjas behind Danzo disappeared one by one and surrounded Orochimaru, as if they could catch Orochimaru in the next moment.

Tsunade was a little unhappy with Danzo, but considering that she was rescued by Danzo, she didn't bother with Danzo this time.

However, after fighting with Orochimaru, her aversion to blood seemed to have decreased a lot. If she was given some time, perhaps her hemophobia could be cured.

Wait...did she forget something? Tsunade suddenly looked at Danzo.

This time his trip was a secret operation. After rescuing Shizune, Jiraiya should have been the first person Shizune found. Why did Danzo come to support first?

Could it be that Danzo has been monitoring him and observing his movements?

Exhaling slowly, Tsunade no longer worried about the details. Maybe the old man Jiraiya went to peek into the women's bathhouse, so it was normal that Shizune couldn't be found.

The most urgent task is to join forces with Danzo to defeat Orochimaru.

As long as Orochimaru can be defeated, not only can the third generation teacher be avenged, but the great-grandfather and the second grandfather who are controlled by the Impure World Reincarnation can also be rescued.

Just as Tsunade was preparing to fight Orochimaru with Danzo, Jiraiya also arrived with a large force.

After seeing Danzo and Orochimaru fighting, Jiraiya did not take action immediately, but instead led his men to lie in wait for the best time to appear.
