Chapter 379: Only this time!
Konoha was unexpectedly in a disadvantage. The situation on the battlefield was one-sided.
The Kumo sent the Fourth Raikage and his younger brother, the eight tails Jinchuriki, which werenât weak in any way.
In addition to that, the Kumo had at least 2,000 Ninja. If not for Shikaku being there, they wouldâve lost already.
Unless Minato comes for support, Konoha will lose.
Roja found it strange that even with Shikaku there, they were put in this kind of situation where even if they wanted to retreat, at least 500 of them would perish.
âFire Release: Big Flame Bullets!â
Jiraiya printed with both hands and when he opened his mouth a large amount of oil was splashed and ignited by fire turning everything in front of him into a sea of flames.
In front of him was the Fourth Raikage or the one who will be the fourth Raikage. His eyes sank, and suddenly he was bathed in lightning and avoided the flames in a flash and arrived at the right side of Jiraiya.
Jiraiyaâs heart sank, he hurriedly printed.
âSage Art: Hair Needle Senbon!â
His hair hardened and turned into countless sharp needles wrapping him to defend.
However, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, wasnât afraid as he directly attacked.
âLightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!â
Jiraiya was smashed away by Ayâs chop.
Fortunately, he used an earth release Jutsu to soften the ground underneath him which absorbed the impact of this attack.
âThis guy is really trickyâŠâ
Looking at Ay, Jiraiya wasnât afraid of him, but if he wanted to win, it would take too much time.
An earth-shattering explosion sounded, countless Ninja looked only to see someone releasing a technique only to be smashed by the Eight-Tails body.
Jiraiyaâs face was ugly. He wasnât afraid of the enemy in front of him, but he wasnât the opponent of the Hachibi.
Once the Hachibi breaks out of the entanglement and joins the battle here, the battle would surely end.
âSix Violet flames formation canât be usedâŠâ
Shikaku had a hard time finding a way out of this as the number of Kumo ninjas was double their number. Delaying for a short while is their limit. Using Six Jonin level Ninja in this situation would reduce their fighting power by a lot. That would mean they would go down faster.
As for an all-out confrontation, although he already considered this in advance, itâs still risky as the Hachibi was with the Kumo Ninjas.
The emergence of power like the Hachibi is completely beyond his calculations. If the Hachibi wasnât here, they wouldnât lose.
âIâm afraid that the only way is to retreat temporarily.â
Shikaku took a deep breath as he didnât want to make such a decision because, when they retreat, there should be some people left for the other to retreat.
This was war, for the bigger picture, the only way out is to sacrifice a few people.
Not far from the battlefield, Kurenai and Roja stood on a high place and looked from afar.
âWhat a terrible monster.â
Seeing the rampaging Eight-Tails, Kurenai couldnât help but suck in cold air.
âThe power of the Eight-Tails is only second to the Kyuubi of Konoha. Having it on the battlefield made Konohaâs Ninjas unable to resist.â
Rojaâs eight flashed slightly. Maybe Shikaku didnât expect the Hachibi to appear which led to this situation.
Kurenai believed Rojaâs words. She believed that Konohaâs situation wasnât good. But she didnât expect it to be so bad. She could see Ninjas falling gradually under the Hachibiâs assaults.
She could even see her father fighting, and she wanted to rush in and help, but she knew that even though her strength increased, she wouldnât make a difference at all.
Hachibiâs power was the same as the power used by Roja, it felt overwhelming.
Probably, Only Roja could face such a monsterâŠ
Thinking this in her heart, Kurenai looked at Roja, but she saw Roja seemed like a bystander as if he was only watching and didnât have the intention to interfere.
Noticing Kurenaiâs look, Roja chuckled as if he was ridiculing and said: âWell, if they handed the scrolls without any fights, maybe I wouldâve helped and even stopped the war, but they wanted to use the hard way.â
Kurenai bit her lips as she squeezed some words: âThey didnât know your power.â
Roja glanced at Kurenai and said: âOh? If I was weak, wouldnât I die under their attacks?â
âNo⊠I didnât mean it like thatâŠâ
Kurenai shook her head, while she saw the situation getting worse for Konoha. She looked at Roja with pleading eyes and said: âRoja, please help.â
âAs long as you help, I would be willing to do anything for youâŠâ
Roja smiled, looked at Kurenai and said: âAnything?â
Roja suddenly smiled and chuckled, laughing at Kurenai, he looked at Kurenai.

When the laughter stopped, Roja moved his finger and flicked Kurenaiâs forehead. Kurenai retreated with a tearful expression.
âWhatever, itâs true that you are helping with my meals and also even though they were stubborn, in the end, they did hand over the Chakra nature transformation method, so I will help⊠Only this time.â
After saying this, Roja took a step forward.
The air seemed to turn into stairs that Roja stepped on and walked step by step on the air heading toward the battlefield.
