Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

After the treatment, a system notification sounded, and Chiba's eyes lit up.

"A-rank medical ninjutsu. This woman is no ordinary person; she's probably not someone unknown."

【"Yin Healing Destruction": A self-healing ninjutsu that predicts the location of impending damage and heals the target before the enemy attacks, minimizing the damage received.】

"...But why hasn't she woken up yet?"

Chiba was somewhat puzzled.

The system has already popped up a notification that the treatment was successful, and the heartbeat feels normal, so why isn't the person waking up yet?

"Why hasn't this person moved their hand away yet?"

The woman on the ground was utterly helpless.

She had actually regained consciousness long ago, but to avoid embarrassment, she wanted to wait until Chiba removed her hand before "waking up".

But she didn't expect that even after she had been "unconscious" for so long, the other person still showed no intention of moving their hand away.

"Excuse me, could you please move your hand away?"

Left with no other option, the woman slowly opened her eyes and spoke in a soft, melancholic tone.

"Ah, hold on a little! Hold on a little!"

Chiba quickly moved his hands away, scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and apologized.

Will it rain today?

The woman ignored Chiba and scrutinized the three of them before suddenly asking a strange question.

“If it doesn’t rain today, it will rain tomorrow, and it will definitely rain heavily,” Rope Tree replied without hesitation.

"The password is correct."

The woman nodded, then pulled a mask off her face, saying solemnly, "Greetings, comrades. I am a member of the Konoha Intelligence Unit, codenamed 'Miko'."

"Holy crap, Yakushi Nonou?!"

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Chiba couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, black-rimmed glasses, nun's robe, white stockings, sophisticated and mature woman...

Chiba's favorite person in his past life was Yakushi Nonou, so he recognized her at a glance.

At that moment, he felt like a fan meeting his teacher, which is why he lost his composure.

"you know me?"

Nono took out a pair of glasses from somewhere, put them on, and asked with a puzzled look.

Nono U isn't particularly famous in Naruto, but her adopted son, Jackie Chan—Kabuto Yakushi—is a household name for anyone who has watched Naruto.

"Yes, I lived in an orphanage for a while before. Later, I heard that a new director had been appointed, so I started paying a little attention to it."

After regaining her composure, Chiba gave a flawless reply.

"Holy crap, Chiba, so you're an orphan!" Nawaki exclaimed in surprise.

"Rope Tree, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!" Chiba said irritably.

In the Naruto world, how many people have parents still alive? Isn't it common for three people to not be able to find a pair of parents?

"Please tell us the information you obtained from Iwagakure."

Chiba rolled her eyes at Nawaki, then looked at Nonou and said, "We need to get the information back as soon as possible."

"Ok."

Nono nodded, her expression grave, and said, "I cannot confirm the accuracy of the information, but I personally believe there is an 80% chance it is true. Please make your own judgment."

"It seems that Iwagakure is plotting a scheme against the Sannin. They have set a trap near Mount Iwata in southern Rain Country, intending to eliminate the Sannin in one fell swoop!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Rope Tree's expression changed drastically: "My older sister and the others might be in danger?!"

"It seems we won't be able to have this meal." Kosuke said with a wry smile, looking at the delicious soup that had just been cooked in the pot.

At this time, the "Three Legendary Sannin" were the strongest among Konoha's new generation, apart from Sakumo. Their existence was of great significance to Konoha and could not be lost.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing you need to be aware of."

Nono reminded him, "The Iwagakure ninja who possessed the Explosion Release technique earlier had a special identity. His name was Kugo, and he was the nephew of the Third Tsuchikage."

"Given the current Tsuchikage's vengeful nature, if he finds out that you killed Kugo, you might be in trouble."

"I'm the grandson of the First Hokage, he's nothing!" Nawaki, not wanting to waste a moment, said anxiously, "Let's hurry up and go, Chiba, Kosuke-senpai!"

……

Southern part of Rain Country, Iwata Mountains.

In a dimly lit stone cave, Orochimaru silently blocked the entrance with Earth Release and turned to look at his two companions.

Jiraiya lay on the ground, barely alive, covered in blood, and unconscious due to excessive blood loss.

Beside him, Tsunade desperately used medical ninjutsu, but with little effect.

Iwagakure must have planned this for a long time, setting up an ambush on their march, forcing the three of them to flee into a cave, their lives hanging by a thread.

"Give up, Tsunade."

Orochimaru's gaze turned slightly cold as he said calmly, "The Earth Release of Iwagakure will soon destroy this mountain. If you want to escape, you can't hesitate. You and I must leave immediately."

"But there's also Jiraiya!"

While casting Healing Palm Technique, Tsunade said worriedly, "In his current state, there's no way we can escape with him, which is why I used medical ninjutsu..."

"Enough, Tsunade!"

Orochimaru raised his voice and said coldly, "This is wartime. We cannot lower our chances of survival for the sake of uncertainties."

"If you continue to act recklessly, it will only lead to the annihilation of all three of us. Since you can't bear to make a decision, let me send Jiraiya on his way!"

As he spoke, Orochimaru pulled a kunai from his robes, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You bastard, if you dare take another step forward, I'll kill you!"

Tsunade turned around and stared at Orochimaru with a wary expression.

She knew Orochimaru wasn't just talking; he was actually capable of doing such things!

"Big... Orochimaru..."

Just as the two were arguing, Jiraiya, who had been seriously injured and unconscious, regained consciousness.

He struggled to raise his arm, extended two fingers, and slowly made a V-sign towards Orochimaru.

"???" Orochimaru was stunned.

"You won't do it, Orochimaru."

Seeing this, Tsunade's lips curled up slightly and she said, "Jiraiya trusts you from the bottom of his heart, and that trust is enough to make you dare not make a move."

"Tch, boring..."

Orochimaru gritted his teeth and raised the kunai again, but his legs felt like they were made of lead, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch.

Boom, boom, boom!

Just as Orochimaru was hesitating, the cave where the three of them were suddenly trembled violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over, emitting a deafening roar.

The earth shook violently, and rocks collapsed.

Orochimaru casually knocked away a falling boulder and looked out through the cracks in the collapsed mountain. As far as the eye could see, there were Iwagakure ninjas dressed in brown clothes and khaki vests.

They didn't seem to be looking for the Sannin, but instead used Earth Release: Earth Split Palm to destroy the entire mountain range.

"Ha, I told you to make a decision sooner rather than later."

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze, turned to Tsunade, and said coldly, "Now look what's happened, the three of us are going to die here."

"how so……"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, looking at the densely packed Iwagakure ninja outside, a look of despair on her face.

Roughly estimated, there are at least twenty Iwagakure squads outside.

If all three of them were at their peak, dealing with these people would be a piece of cake, and at least escaping unscathed would be no problem. But now...

Tsunade clenched her fists, feeling a chill run through her body, and a sense of powerlessness enveloped her.

The last time she felt this desperate was when facing the contemporary demigod, Hanzo the Salamander. Whether it was last time or now, there was absolutely no hope of victory.

"It's all my fault. If you hadn't tried to save me, you wouldn't be trapped here." Jiraiya, lying on the ground, gave a bitter smile.

"What's the use of saying all this now?" Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and said coldly, "Let's think about how to break through."

"Be careful, enemy attack!"

"Kill!"

Just as the three were at their wits' end, the Iwagakure ninjas outside, who had been neatly performing Earth Release techniques, suddenly became agitated.

"what happened?"

The three exchanged a glance and then looked outside.

A group of Konoha ninjas dressed in black combat uniforms and green vests tore a hole in the Iwagakure formation like sharp knives.

Leading the charge was a brown-haired boy who yelled as he charged, "Big sister, Orochimaru-sensei, Jiraiya-nii-san, we're here to save you!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Tsunade's face lit up with joy. None of the three of them would die, and none of them would be abandoned!

"That is……!"

Jiraiya's pupils contracted as his gaze was drawn to the black-haired boy beside Nawaki.

"A boy carrying a medical kit rushing across the battlefield will bring unprecedented destruction or stability to the ninja world."

Jiraiya stared intently at his opponent, the Great Toad Sage's prophecy echoing in his mind once again.

"Could it be him?" Jiraiya murmured.
