Reincarnation Into The World Of Naruto 37 Pride

Based on their direction, Jiro knew that the team was headed for the Hokage's office. He rubbed Kana's head whispering for her to head to the Hokage's office. They flew over to the office and arrived before the team arrived so Jiro had plenty of time to set up for their arrival. He simply had Kana fly in the sky at an unnoticeable height while he hid in the branches of a tree after setting up a Genjutsu that made him look like part of the tree.

The team arrived with the Akimichi tied up and they got ready to enter the office. They were suddenly ambushed by a team. A duo of fire release users simultaneously blew b.a.l.l.s of fire and another person released wind with it to significantly improve the size and power of the fireball. Jiro watched from the tree as his three shadow clones that were transformed to look like the earlier team that ambushed Jiraiya and Orochimaru successfully distracted the team.

While they were dealing with the clones, Jiro closed in and grabbed the captive that was nearby before sprinting past the team battling. The team turned around and their distraction proved to be disastrous as they were quickly knocked out when the clones ripped into them with Taijutsu. Jiro delivered the still tied up Akimichi to a proctor then turned in the knocked out team of three.

Jiro walked back to his earlier hiding spot and formed another three shadow clones. They transformed to look like the group of earlier victims he nabbed. He would use this opportunity to hopefully rescue Orochimaru and Jiraiya if necessary. His main goal would be to ruin as many teams as possible with his shadow clones.

His three clones remained hidden near the entrance to the academy and Jiro began to visit very open areas in the village. He was using himself as bait to lure the other team that captured Jiraiya and Orochimaru out into the open to try and deal with them.

--------------------

Orochimaru awakened to the sound of feet thudding. His head was bouncing around and he was tied up by one of the two ninja who had ambushed him and Jiraiya. Orochimaru did not want to alert the ninja so he continued to fake being unconscious. Unfortunately, it seemed that the team had some way of detecting that he was awake so he joined the realm of sleep once more.

Jiraiya watched as Orochimaru was knocked out again and he decided that summoning a toad to fight would be a good idea. He bit his lip hard enough to draw blood and summoned the toad. The earlier times of practicing summoning without hand seals was worth it. Unfortunately, summoning two toad warriors was incredibly draining on his chakra so Jiraiya had to be carried away by one of the toads while leaving Orochimaru behind for now.

The remaining toad warrior fought valiantly with his spear. The ninja team realized that the toad was perfectly fine swimming in the water and could bounce around on the sinking ground. By the time they were able to damage the toad enough to force it to disperse, one of their targets was gone leaving them with just Orochimaru.

Jiraiya stumbled as his toad warrior dissipated after carrying him to the compound of the Uchiha. He hid near a tree and transformed his appearance before moving onward. Jiraiya mentally noted that they should have made a contingency plan in case they were captured. Especially designating a meeting place in case they got separated. He continued to walk towards the house of Jiro when he spotted Jiro's twin along with two other genin.

Fugaku was chilling with Teuchi and Duy when a stranger approached them. Fugaku did not recognize the person, but he had a feeling that the person was a ninja. Although the transformation looked alright, Fugaku could spot a layer of chakra over the person's face with his sharingan. He signaled Duy and Teuchi who quickly also got into stances ready to battle. He found it strange that somebody could sneak into the compound, but he remained vigilant for now.

Jiraiya noticed that his transformation did not do what it was supposed to do so he quickly deactivated it. He then started explaining the situation to Fugaku after he rushed all of them into the house.

"Basically, you and Orochimaru got beat up by a team after Jiro went off on his own. And you guys didn't consider making a contingency plan. I know that as Uchiha, we tend to be proud, but how come you guys didn't make a contingency plan?"

"Because we thought that our fellow ninja would be easy to tear into pieces."

Everyone jumped a little as they spotted Jiro. He had joined them at some point. His face was deadpan as usual and not a trace of amus.e.m.e.nt could be seen on it.

Jiraiya noticed that Jiro was not planning on explaining why they had thought the Chunin exmas would be easy so he began to explain.

"As you're all aware, Jiro, Orochimaru, and I are meant to be a.s.sault ninja. This means that our general combat prowess is much higher than that of our fellow ninja. We also completed many C and B rank missions which were much more combat oriented. We a.s.sumed that we could steamroller over everyone else, but it turns out that we were wrong."

After explaining to Fugaku and his team, Jiro and Jiraiya walked out of Jiro's house. Jiraiya was fine with continuing Jiro's plan so he joined him in walking around public areas. They however kept some distance in order to ease their opponent into a false sense of safety.
