Chapter 162 Kicking Jiraiya

Aburame Shisei had no intention of answering. He had finally found a very comfortable feeling and did not want to cause trouble with the people of Konoha. He only hoped that they could leave each other alone.

Just as he was about to speak, a disgruntled voice came from behind him: "Feed—"

Hideyoshi strode out of the courtyard, carrying a sickle, and stood next to Aburame Shisei, looking up at Jiraiya on the wall.

"Where did this Konoha ninja come from, squatting on my wall in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? You're disturbing my conversation with my friends. Can you afford to pay for that?"

Jiraiya was taken aback by this sudden question, pointing at himself: "You don't recognize me?"

Hideyoshi looked him up and down, then asked matter-of-factly, "Should I know you?"

"I am Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the Hakudoshi of Mount Myōboku, the Toad Sage!"

Jiraiya announced his name with an arrogant tone.

Hideyoshi remained expressionless: "I've heard of you, but never seen you. What, do I have to know you Konoha ninjas?"

Jiraiya's expression froze on his face, thinking to himself, "Is this guy serious?"

He coughed dryly, trying to save face, and changed the subject, saying, "Then do you know who this person next to you is?"

"Of course I know," Hideyoshi replied quickly. "Shiraki-kun is my friend!"

"No, I'm talking about his real identity."

Jiraiya's tone turned serious: "He's no ordinary person. He was once the strategist of Kusagakure, instigated the Three Kingdoms War, and caused the deaths of tens of thousands. How could someone as cunning as him befriend someone like you? He's definitely using you. Wake up!"

Hideyoshi turned around and asked seriously, "Are you using me?"

Aburame Shisei smiled and shook his head slightly: "No."

"Oh." Hideyoshi turned back to Jiraiya and spread his hands: "Look, my friends all say there's no such thing, and you're still trying to sow discord here."

Jiraiya opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

friend?

He looked at Yu Nu Zhicheng with a complicated expression.

The strategist who once orchestrated events and stirred up the winds of the Three Kingdoms, the man who personally killed Hyuga Tennin and stole the Byakugan, actually has friends.

"Someone like you can make friends?" Jiraiya asked in surprise, feeling that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

You Nu Zhicheng did not answer. He turned around and walked into the house.

Behind him, Jiraiya's voice rang out again: "It's not time to end this conversation yet."

He quickly formed hand seals and stomped his foot.

"Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique!"

The ground suddenly rose up, and several sharp earthen spears burst forth, blocking his path.

"You still haven't told me why you started the ninja war? Do you know that the Land of Grass was destroyed, and thousands of ninjas and tens of thousands of civilians died because of you?"

"Because of me?" Shisei Aburame turned around and said, "Jiraiya, you've got one thing wrong."

He raised his hand, holding up one finger: "The only person I've actually killed is Hyuga Tennin. Apart from that, no one else has died directly at my hands."

"But the war you orchestrated—"

"Plan? The Grass Ninja Village was merely trying to protect itself between the two great powers. Besides, weren't you the ones who launched the invasion first?"

"sophistry."

"It's just a fact. If you want to seek justice for them, you should go after the big names and shadows who gave the orders, not me."

"Hey, hey, feed me—" Hideyoshi spoke again, slung his scythe over his shoulder, looking displeased. "My friends all say it's not his fault, why are you being so aggressive? Does that mean the Legendary Sannin of Konoha can be so unreasonable?"

Jiraiya ignored him, his gaze fixed on Aburame Shisei: "No matter what, you have to give me an explanation today."

Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly recoiled as Hideyoshi's scythe came crashing down.

"Shut up!" Hideyoshi swung his sword, missing his target, and then swung it again with his other hand: "Can't you let people sleep in the middle of the night?"

Jiraiya dodged the two attacks, his brow furrowing. He could sense that this seemingly unreliable ninja was actually quite strong.

"In that case, I'll have to let you calm down first."

He quickly formed hand seals and slammed them onto the ground.

"Ninja Technique: Yellow Mire."

The ground suddenly softened, and the hard soil turned into a sticky swamp, spreading outwards at a visible speed.

The walls, trees, and even Hideyoshi's house began to slowly sink.

Hideyoshi's expression changed drastically: "Oh no!"

His wife and son were also in that house!

The mud had spread to the foundation of the house, and the small house with its blue tiles and white walls began to tilt, making a creaking sound that made your teeth ache. Just then, a blue light suddenly shone.

The pale blue barrier that had been enveloping the house suddenly erupted, shining brightly and steadily lifting the entire house up.

Barrier spell! No, this isn't an ordinary barrier.

The energy it contains is refreshing and boundless, as if...

Natural energy!

In the instant he was distracted, a figure had already closed in on him.

Aburame Shisei appeared within three feet of him, moving with lightning speed, as if teleporting. Jiraiya's pupils constricted, and he instinctively raised his hand to block.

boom!

A solid kick landed on his forearm, the force of which sent him flying.

Jiraiya flipped in mid-air, trying to steady himself, but before he could adjust his posture, the figure had already caught up with him.

boom!

Another kick landed hard on his side.

Jiraiya was sent flying, tumbling over the ground for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

He struggled to his feet, his arms burning with pain, the bones in the places where he had been kicked trembling.

"How is that possible..."

He looked up at the figure in front of him.

You Nu Zhicheng stood there quietly, her robes fluttering, surrounded by a faint blue light.

The moonlight cast a silvery glow on him, and his long green hair swayed gently in the wind, as if he had blended into the night.

Cold sweat beaded on Jiraiya's forehead. Those two kicks, in terms of both speed and power, far exceeded his expectations.

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough and used my chakra to protect my body, my arms would probably be broken by now.

This person's physical abilities are simply superhuman.

"A monster?" Jiraiya murmured, his arms trembling slightly inside his sleeves.

Aburame Shisei didn't speak, but just stared at him quietly, then disappeared again the next second.

The wind whistled from his right. He jerked to the side, barely dodging the kick, but before he could even catch his breath, another kick swept down from below.

boom!

Another heavy blow landed, kicking him directly in the abdomen.

Jiraiya's body arched like a shrimp, and this time he flew completely out of the village.

Under the moonlight, Yu Nu Zhicheng slowly withdrew her leg, her robes fluttering, and a blue light swirling around her.

Ji Xiu stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding a sickle, staring wide-eyed at the scene.

"Goodness gracious, what kind of friend have I made?"
