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

Chapter 113 I've Arranged a Predetermined Way for Everyone to Die

Chapter 113 I've Arranged a Predetermined Way for Everyone to Die

Jiraiya knew the enemy was difficult to deal with, and Kakashi's fate was uncertain, so he had no time to waste and immediately unleashed his full power.

"Bunta, buy me some time."

"I understand, you can start preparing now!"

Bunta agreed, brandished his short sword, and began fighting Blood Susanoo.

Taking advantage of this break, Jiraiya summoned the two toad sages and began refining his Sage Chakra.

Seeing Jiraiya's performance, An was not worried at all. He simply clapped his hands and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha—Jiraiya, I've already planned out everyone's predetermined way of dying, it's not your turn yet!"

"People will be killed one by one; no one can escape!"

"But now, you have to pick the softest persimmons!"

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

As An laughed, the ground bulged and cracked, and countless thick roots burst out of the soil like giant pythons, tearing through the rock layers and sending boulders flying high into the air.

The trees grew wildly at a visible rate, their branches twisting and intertwining, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a death forest that blotted out the sky.

"Don't even think about getting past me!"

Wen Tai roared and swung his short knife, chopping up the nearby tree branches like vegetables.

With his enormous size, he could easily cut down dozens of trees that could be encircled by an arm with a single movement. For a time, even Wood Release couldn't defeat him.

However, An's main target was not Jiraiya, who was protected by Gamabunta, but the ordinary Konoha ninjas behind him who were locked in a stalemate with the Edo Tensei.

With the combined efforts of many Konoha ninjas, the three ordinary Uchiha Jonin were no match for these people.

The Eighth Hokage and his companions were relying entirely on their immortal bodies to entangle with the enemy, but it was only a matter of time before their blockade was broken.

At this critical moment, an overwhelming barrage of Wood Release attacks arrived.

If it were Jiraiya, he could most likely withstand the attack for a period of time with his own strength, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to even escape and ascend to heaven.

However, these ordinary ninjas, including some Jonin-level experts, are completely helpless against attacks of the Wood Release level.

"ah----"

Amidst screams of agony, the dozen or so ninjas were quickly wiped out.

When Jiraiya's face was covered in paint and he entered Sage Mode, all the ninjas had already been bound into dumplings by Wood Release and were suspended in the air, dozens of "human cocoons" swaying gently among the tree canopy.

"Hehehe————" An laughed strangely, and started to make things difficult for Jiraiya again.

"Jiraiya, now it's your turn to make a choice!"

"Do you want to save Kakashi, or do you want to save your comrades?"

"Hmph!" Jiraiya completely ignored An's provocation; he wouldn't allow any of the options to be selected.

Jiraiya was well aware of what Itachi had gone through before.

These days, Itachi's reputation in the village has become completely infamous; he's practically hated by everyone.

The Hokage is wise and mighty; he is absolutely right.

Ninjas from other clans also generously donated large sums of money to the victims' families, as they were also victims.

So here's the question: if they're all right, then who is wrong?

The person primarily responsible is undoubtedly the heinous Uchiha An, and the second person who should be held accountable is without a doubt Uchiha Itachi.

As members of the same Uchiha clan, is it wrong to place the blame for An's crimes on Itachi?

Don't talk about taking my anger out on you. I've already become crippled for the sake of the village. Even if I did take my anger out on you, how dare you blame me?

Itachi, who was already a loner, now lives even more secluded lives, and he is almost never seen except when he is on the battlefield.

This state greatly worried Jiraiya, who feared that one day Itachi would not be able to bear it and would go insane or commit suicide.

Having learned from such a lesson, how could he possibly fall for Uchiha An's tricks again?

Jiraiya immediately raised an eyebrow, a murderous intent lurking in his heart.

"My two sages, time is of the essence. Kakashi probably doesn't have much time left. Let's use that one!"

"?" Shima was still somewhat reluctant, but after being persuaded by Fukasaku, he finally agreed.

The two toads puffed out their cheeks and opened their mouths, and a series of loud croaks suddenly resounded throughout the land.

"Celestial Arts, Magical Illusions, Toad's Lament!"

"Oh, the so-called strongest illusion technique?"

Without hesitation, An grinned and reached out, sticking his finger into his ear canal. When he pulled it out, two lines of blood flowed from the ear canal.

He deafened himself.

"What?!" Fukasaku and Shima exclaimed in surprise. "How does he know the secret of this ninjutsu?"

"Toad Song" is a high-intensity sound wave emitted by two toad sages over a wide area. The sound disrupts the opponent's nerves, trapping them in an illusionary barrier and rendering them immobile. Then, they pierce the opponent's body with a stone sword unique to Mount Myōboku, leaving them dead when they return to reality.

This is both an illusion and a sage technique. Its power was so great that even the Six Paths of Pain with his Rinnegan couldn't withstand it, and dealing with Uchiha Ansada would be a piece of cake.

However, the problem is that this illusion has a drawback: it is an auditory illusion, and it can only affect the enemy through hearing.

Uchiha An punctured his eardrums the moment he heard the toad croaking, so he couldn't hear anything and was naturally unaffected by the genjutsu.

"That's right. Itachi once said that Ann's right eye technique is prophecy," meaning it can see a lot of information about the future. Jiraiya said thoughtfully.

"But after that battle, Itachi, who was resurrected, said that An's eye technique was probably a lie, and that he had once used that eye technique to ambush him."

"An's intelligence must have come from another source."

"But now it seems the prophecy's eye technique is probably true; otherwise, it's hard to explain how he knew about the secret immortal techniques of Mount Myōboku."

"A prophecy? Isn't that the same as the Great Master's ability?" Shima the Immortal was immediately taken aback, still somewhat disbelieving, and hesitantly pondered, "Could it be information leaked by that stinky snake in Ryuchi Cave?"

"I always felt that the ability to 'prophesy' was too vague and ethereal. Even though the old man was always talking about mystical things, I never heard him mention such specific information."

"Even now, Jiraiya still doesn't know who the so-called 'Child of Prophecy' is, and can only wander around the ninja world aimlessly."

"Who knows? Now's not the time to worry about that!" Fukasaku exclaimed, interrupting his wife's rambling. "Jiraiya, what should we do now?"

"It's alright. My goal isn't just Uchiha An anyway. It would be even better if I could control him and eliminate him. Although I've failed, it's not a complete failure."

"Hmm?" Fukasaku's gaze sharpened as he looked behind An and saw that Hiruko, who had been dragging Kakashi into his body, was now standing there motionless.

Even the three reanimated Uchiha bodies were frozen in place, all controlled by the "Toad's Song" Sage Technique.

"Now!"

"Gamabunta, you hold off Uchiha An, I'm going to rescue them!"

"Alright!" Gamabunta shouted, stomping heavily on the ground with his webbed feet, and then hurtling towards Uchiha An like a cannonball.

Jiraiya ran forward quickly, forming hand seals.

"Sage Art: Goemon!"
