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

Fifteen minutes later, at the Valley of the End, in front of the statue of Hashirama Senju.

Jiraiya has entered Sage Mode.

He's getting serious!

The Jonin from the ninja clan also rushed over, shouting loudly from afar.

"Jiraiya, don't think you're so great just because you're invincible on the battlefield!"

"That's all thanks to our comrades in the village sharing the burden of the enemy for you!"

"If it weren't for the sacrifices of us ninjas, you would have died on the battlefield long ago!"

"Jiraiya, you must understand one thing: one person's strength is ultimately limited!"

Jiraiya remained expressionless, ignoring the shouts and curses, and simply watched quietly, estimating the speed and distance of all of them.

Once everyone was within attack range, he said in a deep voice, "Now, let's begin!"

Then Shima and Fukasaku opened their mouths and emitted unique frequency calls, which, together with Jiraiya's chanting, covered the incoming crowd with sound waves.

This technique requires advance preparation and is very time-consuming, making it unsuitable for use on the battlefield. It is more suitable for dealing with powerful enemies.

He only used it once when dealing with Uchiha An, but before he could even begin chanting it, Uchiha An pierced his eardrums and broke the spell.

He never used it again after that.

Now, he's using it again, but this time it's against his own village's comrades, which makes Jiraiya himself feel ironic.

Although these Jonin from the ninja clans heard the shouts, they didn't realize it was an attack and continued to charge forward, yelling and shouting.

However, just as they were about to reach Jiraiya, their bodies suddenly stiffened and they could no longer move.

In their shock, they hurriedly looked around and saw four huge statues suddenly appear around them, each with the characters "不" (Bu), "动" (Dong), "明" (Ming), and "王" (Wang) written on its chest. The statues held swords in their right hands and had their left hands outstretched, surrounding them.

Jiraiya then arrived at their side and spoke to them seriously.

"I have never denied the contributions of the ninja clan to the village, and I fully acknowledge the sacrifices they have made for the village."

"However, I have always known about the ninja clan's greed and insatiable demands!"

Everything must be done in moderation; once it goes too far, it will inevitably have the opposite effect.

"Since you won't listen to reason, I'll try a different approach."

"Whether you approve of me or not, I don't care."

"But I will never relinquish the Hokage position, not even if the Daimyo comes!"

"If you don't submit, I'll beat you until you do!"

"You're right to say that one person's strength is limited."

"But the problem is that this 'limited' refers to the entire ninja village, not your small group."

"You cannot represent the entire Hidden Leaf Village at all, nor can you even represent the entire ninja clan."

"Didn't you notice?"

"Less than half of the Jonin were among those who charged out to fight alongside you. Most of the Jonin had already abandoned you long ago."

"With just this many people, I could wipe you all out with the flick of my wrist!"

"What?!" These people were immediately shocked and hurriedly looked carefully. Sure enough, they saw that, apart from the commoner Jonin who was not one of them, many ninja clan Jonin had also disappeared.

Besides the four Hokage clans—Ino-Shika-Cho, Hyuga, and others—many smaller ninja clans also did not attend.

"Damn it! We've been betrayed!"

Now all the Jonin from these ninja clans were panicked. No one knew better than them what those opportunists were thinking.

Both involve cutting flesh, but the larger ninja clans cut off more flesh than the smaller ninja clans.

Both groups benefit from the lower classes, but smaller ninja clans will definitely receive more than larger ninja clans.

Moreover, the reason these guys jumped off the train halfway through was definitely not because they were intimidated by the Hokage's power; they probably wanted to sell their teammates for a good price.

These ninja clans were originally a loose alliance with conflicting interests. Now that someone had betrayed them, the entire alliance collapsed.

Someone immediately took the lead and admitted defeat.

"Lord Hokage, we know we were wrong. From now on, we will resolutely support any policy of yours and would never dare to disobey."

.

The others glared at him angrily, and then quickly echoed his sentiments.

"Lord Hokage, we were all persuaded to come by those ninja clans who didn't come; they are the real culprits!"

"Yes, especially those heartless bastards from the Nara family, they're the masterminds!"

"These bastards talked a good game, but at the last minute, they jumped ship!"

"How can this be repaired!"

"How awful!"

This group of people changed their minds so quickly that even Jiraiya's subordinates couldn't stand it anymore.

Shima pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "Just a moment ago you were calling him Jiraiya, and now you're suddenly calling him Hokage-sama. You really know how to switch tunes quickly!"

"Heh, heh heh—" These people didn't dare to talk back, so they could only laugh awkwardly.

"Alright, old woman, stop causing trouble for Jiraiya." Fukasaku quickly reached out a paw to cover his wife's mouth. "Since there's nothing else, we'll head back now. Call us again next time you need to fight!"

"Thank you for your help, two immortals."

Jiraiya politely saw them off, dispelled the Golden Binding Technique and genjutsu, and then called the Jonin over to inquire about the matter in detail.

These Jonin were furious and, disregarding everything else, blurted out everything in a flurry of words.

Jiraiya then realized that the Nara family had actually initiated this whole affair.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio have always been stalwarts of the Hokage lineage, and after so many years of development, they have long since become major clans in the village.

The policies implemented by Jiraiya previously caused significant losses to the three families, if not the greatest.

So when the Nara clan took the lead in initiating the alliance, all the ninja clans were immediately tempted.

Even the Tekkaku clan, a branch of the Hokage, is rebelling, so why can't we rebel together?

Even if it means being a pawn for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, that's acceptable!

But to everyone's surprise, when it came down to it, not a single member of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio showed up!

These families were completely sold out by these three families!

Even Jiraiya was baffled this time, having no idea what the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were up to.

Knowing he wasn't very bright, he decided not to overthink it and led his men straight to the village, ready to confront Nara Shikasuke face to face.
