Chapter 86

"Erase, I'm aware of your situation. Now that you are a member of the frontline army and my direct subordinate, you can rest easy until a suitable task appears for you."

Jiraiya looked at Erase and gave instructions.

Although he didn't want to rely on the strength of Orochimaru's disciple, but he still has a general understanding of the situation, idling such a powerful combat unit can be considered a weakening of the combat power of Konoha's side.

Now it was time to prepare for a decisive battle with Suna, the presence of Yeruashi and the disruption of the other side's secret attack plan greatly increased their chances of success.

"Got it."

Erase nodded.

He is not averse to rest at all, there was quite a long journey and even a battle at the very end, although physical fatigue can be overcome with the help of the ability to reverse the flow of time, but mental fatigue accumulates over time, now Yeruashi needs to take a break to bring his condition back to normal.

After Yeruashi left the tent, Jiraiya looked at Minato seriously, " Don't give in to him in the upcoming battle, Minato."

Erase much younger than Minato, and if he gets the greatest achievements in the upcoming decisive battle, the naruto vs. Sasuke due to be ashamed to interfere with Orochimaru.

Jiraiya's thoughts are very simple.

He wants to be Hokage, but well aware that aspire to Minato and Orochimaru, friend and student, Jiraiya does not really care who of them will eventually become Hokage, but he sincerely did not want to lose his old opponent in the competition students!

Minato smiled calmly: "Although Erase a great shinobi, but he can't beat me...perhaps there is a chance in the future, and now he is too young."

"No."

Jiraiya shook his head, " Minato, don't underestimate him because of his age, you just don't know what happened just recently....this guy single-handedly destroyed Suna's elite group, who made their way here through the Rain Country to launch a surprise attack on our camp!"

Jiraiya had only recently received this information and Minato didn't know about it yet, after hearing the teacher's words, he showed a shocked expression on his face.

Sneak through the Rain Country and launch a surprise attack on their camp?

This group should not be too large, otherwise the risk of exposure would be extremely high, but it should not be too small, otherwise it would be difficult to break through their defenses in the rear.

Kakashi, Rin, and Obito hadn't left the tent yet and were looking at Jiraiya in shock, of course they didn't know that either.

"The number of the group?"

Minato looked at Jiraiya seriously.

Sannin said in a deep voice: "About a hundred...at least ten Jounins."

"How can this be?!"

Minato's heart began to tremble violently, and he couldn't keep calm.

To single-handedly destroy an elite group consisting of a hundred shinobi, among whom there are at least ten Jounins, of course, without having been in such a situation, it is difficult to say with complete certainty, but Minato still had a certain faith that he could do it with the help of Hiraishin.

But the thing is...as Erase did it?!

To single-handedly defeat such a large number of Shinobi, you need something that allows you to make all their attacks and control techniques invalid!

Minato is able to do this at the expense of Hiraishin's space-time ninjutsu, but how did Yeruashi do it? He does not think that Yeruashi is strong in defense, and although the speed is quite high, it is far from enough to make all ninjutsu and barrier techniques ineffective.

Do Erase also uses Hiraishin?

"The specific process is unknown to me, but the result is real."

Jiraiya turned around, looking after the departed of Erase: "Something like this, even I'm not capable of doing. Although Orochimaru's student is very young, but he is a real monster without exaggeration, do not treat him as a normal shinobi."

It was said that Minato didn't dare to neglect and underestimate Erase.

As for not being able to do that...

Jiraiya is really not able to do it solely on their own, but if he calls two Wise men from the Mountain Myoboku and enter into Sage Mode, it would be different.

But even if Jiraiya considered it his own strength, such a comparison would not make sense, because he belongs to the Orochimaru generation and a victory over a junior would be quite expected, but he did not want to see Minato lose to Yeruashi.

"I will be serious, Master Jiraiya."

Minato nodded, a light flashing in his calm eyes.

He became serious.

If earlier, after hearing about Yeruashi's merits on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, Minato simply paid attention to him, now he was really serious, realizing that his previous judgment of Yeruashi was fundamentally wrong.

Yeruashi is not a young and talented shinobi who has yet to grow up, but an accomplished shinobi who is already able to compete with him!

Kakashi and the others just stood silently to the side.

They didn't have the words.

Jiraiya's words seemed too unreal and difficult to comprehend, destroying Suna's elite group of one hundred shinobi, including more than ten Jounins...

What is this all about?!

Kakashi's acknowledged genius is now only approaching promotion to the rank of Jounin!

And Obito and Rin are still ordinary Genins!

Even Kakashi, who had a certain understanding of his brother's strength, was shocked for a moment, but quickly recovered and smiled bitterly.

Now he is not afraid to fight with Jounin, just recently faced with an opponent of this level, Kakashi almost killed him, but this does not compare to Yeruashi.

"Erase...too far away from us."

Rin's eyes were filled with shock, and after a while, she came to her senses and whispered in shock.

...

At the same time.

In the central tent of the Suna front camp.

After many days of searching and investigating, the sent scouts finally found traces of Pakura's group in the Rain Country, but it was quite difficult to reconstruct specific events from them.

There is only one thing that can be said with complete certainty...Pakura's group was completely destroyed!

After all, if there had been at least one survivor, he would have already found a way to contact them, but this has not yet happened.

There was no news.

A heavy atmosphere enveloped the tent.

"How is this possible..."

Ebizo whispered in disbelief.

He perfectly understands how strong Pakura is, the elite squad led by her had an impressive fighting power, even if Konoha sent twice as many shinobi, it would be impossible to completely destroy them!

To completely destroy such a group, without allowing anyone to escape, you need at least three times more forces, but Konoha could not completely hide from them the mobilization of three hundred elite shinobi!

Would it make sense to fight a war with such a tactical advantage on the enemy's side?
