Chapter 48:
"Tsunade is in danger." Jiraiya's first sentence confirmed Akira's guess.
Akira heart thud and just as he had guess. The battlefield is changing rapidly, even the strong like Tsunade and Jiraiya have to be careful and accidents are possible.
In this period of time, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru are all in their twenties and ninjas they are in their peak performance, with their strength being known as kage level. After all, in the ninja world, ninjas are at their peak in their twenties. In the original story, Uchiha Itachi awakened his mangekyo sharingan at the age of thirteen, and Deidara, Sasori and others also very strong in their teens.
It's just that the current trio, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru are new to the kage level, far behind the kage level powerhouses like third hokage.
For a kage level ninja like Tsunade to be in danger, the enemy must be strong.
"Something happened to Tsunade-sensei? What's the situation?" Akira immediately asked nervously. Tsunade has always been Akira's sensei. Before the outbreak of the Ninja World War, she had been instructing the three of them, Akira, Nawaki and Kushina in their practice. After a long time of bonding between the team and their sensei, they naturally treat each other as important and will be concern about Tsunade well being.
Jiraiya looked serious and walked back and forth in the room, while saying: "The situation is serious. Tsunade and her elite forces of five hundred ninjas are trapped by Suna ninjas force…"
"What?" Akira and Minato were slightly surprised. Tsunade's strength is absolutely needless to say and the five hundred ninjas she led are also elite forces, but they were actually trapped by the Suna ninja force?
Akira faintly felt a bad premonition, who could trap Tsunade and the 500 elite ninja forces?
"It is done by Suna's puppet bridgate. The intelligence shows that more than a hundred puppet masters from Suna were deployed, as well as the other elite forces in Suna, totaling nearly 800 people." Jiraiya frowned while pacing back and forth in the room, looking anxious.
The opponent is 800 elite ninjas, and more than 100 of them are puppeteers!
Puppeteers are a group of special ninjas in Suna who can manipulate puppets to fight. Most puppeteers control puppets and battle from a distance. Powerful puppeteers can even control several puppet to battle which are very difficult control.
Akira frowned as well
It turned out to be puppeteers, this is going to be a bit troublesome.
"This time the leader of Suna ninja force is called Chiyo and she is a female puppet master, who is one of the best puppet masters in Suna." Jiraiya frowned and said again.
Chiyo!
A image immediately appeared in his mind, a wrinkled old woman, Chiyo was a famous character in the original story, the older generation elite ninja of Suna. Of course, the so-called strong old generation was in the original story and the current Chiyo is estimated to be about fourty years old and she is the well known strong ninja in Suna. (Chiyo 73 years old in original timeline)
"It's actually a puppet division led by Chiyo. This is really a bit of trouble. Chiyo's strength is very strong in the original story. With absolute kage level strength, no wonder Tsunade is in danger." Akira thought secretly, also worried for Tsunade. Afterall Akira didn't want Tsunade to encounter any accident.
"Boy, your jonin sensei seems to be in danger." The voice of the sage of the six path rang in Akira's ears.
"looking at the current situation, we must go rescue Tsunade as soon as possible." Akira immediately thought about saving her.
Jiraiya was unable to sit still: "No, I have to save Tsunade, you all follow me! I need to lead the ninja force and immediately rescue Tsunade!" Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru are a team under third hokage and they had a deep friendship with each other. Seeing that Tsunade is in danger, Jiraiya is ready to go to rescue her immediately, no matter the reason.
"Don't rush in" Akira suddenly said: "It just happened so suddenly, we should calm down first."
Seeing Jiraiya was going to act little impulsively, so Akira deliberately raise his voice and make Jiraiya slightly startled.
Jiraiya then became a little calmer, looked at Akria and said, "Ok, tsunade is your sensei after all, so do you have any good ideas regarding the rescue?"
"I think things should not be as serious as we thought. Tsunade has more than 500 elite ninjas by her side and she is proficient in medical ninjutsu. Even if the other party is the puppet bridgate from Suna, she should be able to hold on for a long period of time." Akira said.
Hearing this, Jiraiya's nervous expression slightly relaxed and he nodded slowly, agreeing with Akira's words.
Even if Jiraiya did not go and rescue, for the time being, Akira without doubt believe that Tsunade should be able to hold for a while. Although Akira doesn't know the full details of this Ninja World War, he did know one thing. It was in this Ninja World War that the Tsunade became famous and made a large contributions for Konoha. How could it be so easy for her to be defeated.
Knowing this, Akira calmed down and analyzed the situation.
"What's the current specific situation?" Akira asked.
Jiraiya also gradually recovered his calmness: "The current situation is indeed not dangerous as of yet. According to the intelligence, the puppet bridgate and ninjas of Suna did not take the initiative to attack, but they had surrounded all of the Tsunade forces. That is why I was in a rush and want to go to the rescue."
Akira frowned: "You can't go to the rescue so easily."
"Why?" Jiraiya glared.
Akira curled his lips. At this time, Jiraiya was only in his twenties. Compared with the calm "Toad sage Jiraiya" in the future, the current Jiraiya is a little impulsive, especially now that Tsunade is trapped.
Akira explained: "The ninjas in Suna actually surrounded our forces and did not attack. So it is very likely that they are using Tsunade-sensei and others as bait, waiting for us to come to rescue! If we go, we will be falling for the enemy trap, where they are waiting for us must be and attack us!" Akira calmly analyzed.
Jiraiya was taken aback, Akira words made a lot of sense.
Jiraiya was just a little bit impulsive because Tsunade was trapped. Now, with Akira reminder, he had completely recovered his composure and is thinking of a plan.
"Then what should we do?" Jiraiya looked at Akira, his eyes looking at Akira were completely different, Tsunade's student is indeed a very outstanding talent, just like she had said…
Akira ponder, then his eyes lit up suddenly: "I have a plan."
"What plan?" Jiraiya asked immediately.
Akira smiled faintly, this plan is actually very simple, but also very effective!
