"As for why Chen Anxia used the Impure World Reincarnation to revive his teacher, I think you can guess his purpose."
Kakashi's words caused everyone's expressions to change simultaneously.
They never expected that Chen Anxia would dare to return to Konoha Village so quickly after killing the Third Hokage.
Involuntarily, their gazes all followed Kakashi's.
Upon closer inspection, they saw Chen Anxia after her transformation, as well as Uchiha Itachi and Uzumaki Kushina, who had also been resurrected using Edo Tensei.
Because Chen Anxia had exhausted his Nine-Tails chakra, he no longer possessed any Nine-Tails chakra.
Chen Anxia naturally noticed the arrival of the group of Jonin, but he only glanced at them briefly and then ignored them.
Just then, Chen Anxia seemed to notice something, her eyes brightening slightly as she murmured to herself, 'He actually came too...'
'Judging from his data stream, he has already made contact with Orochimaru...'
'It seems the time has come to make my move against him. I'm still quite interested in Orochimaru's secret research facility...'
Of course, Chen Anxia knew that now was not the right time.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia said to Minato Namikaze, who was still locked in a fierce battle with Jiraiya, "Minato, let's go!"
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's words, Jiraiya immediately became anxious and roared, "Don't even think about leaving! I'm going to leave you all here today!"
Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze was proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Jiraiya, who hadn't entered Sage Mode, couldn't stop him at all.
Without any hesitation, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly return to Chen Anxia and the other two, and had them place their hands on his body.
Immediately afterwards, Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again.
At the same time, Minato Namikaze left behind the words, "Now the roots of Konoha are rotten. Why did the Uchiha clan perish so quietly? Why is Tsunade the only remaining member of the Senju clan? And what has my son suffered these past years..."
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze suddenly shouted, "Listen up, all of you! I swear in the name of the Fourth Hokage that when I return, I will cleanse Konoha of its decay with blood!"
The next moment, Minato Namikaze, along with Chen Anxia and the other two, disappeared from everyone's sight using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
......
Chapter 601 Danzo's Script, Jiraiya's Madness!
Jiraiya could only watch helplessly as Chen Anxia and his group retreated.
Knowing that things had spiraled out of his control, Jiraiya angrily stomped his foot on the ground, muttering, "Damn it!"
Jiraiya's kick, delivered in a fit of rage, was so powerful that it cracked the stone slabs on the ground.
Seeing this, the surrounding Jonin exchanged glances, none daring to approach Jiraiya and touch his brow.
After trying to calm his turbulent emotions, Jiraiya said to Gamabunta, who was standing to the side, "Gamabunta, please tell the Great Toad Sage when you return to Mount Myōboku."
"I may have already seen the darkness that will descend upon us in the future."
Gamabunta paused for a moment upon hearing this, then, as if he had thought of something, his pupils trembled slightly as he said, "I understand. I'll head back now."
With that, Gamabunta turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared before Jiraiya's eyes.
After Gamabunta disappeared, Jiraiya turned to the group of Jonin and said, "I know you have a lot of questions."
"I will answer all your questions, but not now, because I have more important things to do right now."
With that, Jiraiya instantly teleported in one direction.
Kakashi, Might Guy, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and the other Jonin exchanged bewildered glances.
In the midst of this, Kakashi gritted his teeth and chased after Jiraiya.
Seeing this, Might Guy didn't hesitate and followed Kakashi to chase after Jiraiya.
The other Jonin did not do so; after a brief silence, they left.
The three families of Pig, Deer, and Butterfly form an alliance and naturally act together.
On the way back, Nara Shikaku said to Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza, "You should both go back and prepare yourselves. It's not just Konoha that's going to be in turmoil; the entire ninja world is about to descend into chaos."
Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza became solemn, feeling a heavy weight in their hearts.
They all believed Nara Shikaku's words, so they had to go back in advance to make preparations.
Although they were confident in their abilities, they also had families, and they didn't want anything to happen to their families.
Especially their young children.
On the other side, after leaving the Uchiha clan's residence, Jiraiya headed straight for a certain place.
At first, Kakashi and Might Guy didn't know where Jiraiya was going, but as they got closer to their destination, they found out.
This destination is the forbidden area of Konoha where the Book of Seals is stored.
At the same time, they all guessed that the reason Jiraiya went to the forbidden area of Konoha was probably related to the Impure World Reincarnation.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Only by understanding the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation can you know how to control the dead who have been reincarnated, and how to break the Impure World Reincarnation and allow the dead to return to the Pure Land.
On the other side, at Root's headquarters.
Danzo Shimura listened to the report from the Root members who had been sent to explore the forbidden area of the Uchiha clan.
Upon learning that Minato Namikaze had been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Danzo Shimura frowned deeply.
It is clear that Danzo Shimura knew about the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation.
Since the Impure World Reincarnation technique was created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and Danzo Shimura was Tobirama Senju's disciple, he would naturally know about it.
Therefore, Danzo Shimura also knew some information that Jiraiya did not.
That is, a sealed soul that cannot be reincarnated through impure means.
If Shimura Danzo remembered correctly, shouldn't Minato Namikaze's soul have been sealed inside the Shinigami's stomach? How could he have been resurrected by Chen Anxia using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?
Is there any way in this world to unseal the soul sealed inside the Grim Reaper's belly?
This question has clearly touched on a blind spot for Shimura Danzo, leaving him unable to think clearly about it.
However, Danzo Shimura temporarily put aside this issue and instead focused his attention on Jiraiya.
Danzo Shimura never expected that Jiraiya would appear there and even fight a battle with Minato Namikaze.
But this also solved Danzo Shimura's problem.
Danzo Shimura spoke into the darkness, "Kabuto, your next task is to spread rumors throughout the village."
"The main content of the rumor is that the Uchiha clan conspired with Jiraiya to seize the Hokage position."
"But because some conditions were not agreed upon, the Uchiha clan and Jiraiya had a great battle."
"In the end, the Uchiha clan, unable to defeat Jiraiya, resurrected the Fourth Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and fought a final, desperate battle."
"However, the Uchiha clan was ultimately no match for Jiraiya, leading to the annihilation of the entire clan..."
"Remember, make sure the rumors spread throughout Konoha as quickly as possible. You can also embellish the content of the rumors yourself."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto, who was hidden in the darkness, lowered his head slightly to indicate that he understood, and then vanished in an instant.
After Kabuto disappeared, Danzo Shimura muttered to himself, "That brat Yakushi Nonou adopted... if you weren't still somewhat useful, I would have reunited you with your foster mother long ago..."
Then, Shimura Danzo spoke again, "Ryuma, go and monitor Jiraiya's movements, and report back to me at all times."
After Shimura Danzo gave the order, figures moved again in the darkness.
This time, however, the figure did not leave. Instead, countless insects flew out of his body and headed towards Konoha Village to search for Jiraiya's whereabouts.
Ryoma, whose full name is Aburame Ryoma, is an important member of the Root organization and also a member of the Aburame family.
Therefore, Ryoma Aburame possesses the Aburame clan's secret ninjutsu, which allows him to feed 'parasitic insects' with his own chakra, letting the insects live inside his body and driving them to attack, defend, and scout.
And this ability is perfect for surveillance.
Just as Shimura Danzo was making his move, Jiraiya had already arrived at the forbidden area of Konoha where the Scroll of Seals was kept.
This place was originally guarded by the Anbu, but due to the death of the Third Generation, the Anbu personnel were transferred to other places, resulting in a gap in the defenses here.
However, even with the presence of secret agents guarding the area, they were unable to stop Jiraiya.
After breaking the seal and retrieving the Book of Seals, Jiraiya immediately began to examine the contents related to the Impure World Reincarnation.
After a careful examination, Jiraiya couldn't help but rub his throbbing temples and said, "Truly worthy of being the Second Hokage, he was able to develop such a forbidden technique that breaks the boundary between life and death and forcibly summons the souls of the dead from the Pure Land."
Muttering to himself, Jiraiya couldn't help but look at Kakashi, who had followed him all the way, and said, "Kakashi, I need you to master the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation, in the shortest amount of time. Can you do it?"
Although Jiraiya was one of the legendary Sannin and possessed profound strength, his talent was not particularly outstanding.
The Impure World Reincarnation technique is far too complex. It would be impossible for Jiraiya to fully master it without a month or two of training.
Therefore, Jiraiya shifted his focus to the exceptionally intelligent Kakashi.
After reviewing the forbidden technique of the Impure World Reincarnation, Jiraiya suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
If Chen Anxia was able to resurrect the Fourth Hokage using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, then why couldn't I?
Although doing so will disturb the peace of the souls in the Pure Land, as long as the power of the living and the dead can be united, there will be more hope in the future fight against the darkness that shrouds this world.
......
Chapter 602 Racing Against Time: Jiraiya and Chen Anxia's Plan!
Although Kakashi was unaware of Jiraiya's plans, he still obeyed Jiraiya's words and began to study the Impure World Reincarnation technique with all his might.
It must be said that although the Impure World Reincarnation technique is powerful, possessing the great power to forcibly summon the souls of the dead in the Pure Land and revive them, it is extremely difficult to master.
Even Kakashi found it extremely difficult to learn.
According to Kakashi's estimate, it would take him at least a week to learn and successfully perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
This is Kakashi's estimate based on speed.
Jiraiya was not surprised by this result.
Jiraiya himself had researched the Impure World Reincarnation technique and knew how complex and difficult it was.
To be honest, the time Kakashi gave was already somewhat beyond Jiraiya's expectations.
Jiraiya then said to Kakashi, "Then you don't need to do anything for the time being. Just focus on learning and mastering the Impure World Reincarnation."
As he spoke, Jiraiya's expression suddenly turned serious, and he continued, "Remember, what you are doing now is extremely important. It's not just about Konoha Village, but about the ninja world and the safety of the entire world."
