Ninja World: I've already fought the Five Kage head-on, and the system is only now showing up.

Chapter 34: Time Limit Expired

It must be admitted that Danzo was quite skilled at training ninjas.

Even in Hagoromo Gengetsu's eyes, these Root ninjas were in no way inferior to the elite ninja clans of the Warring States period, and even surpassed them in terms of ruthlessness and efficiency.

They were just unlucky to run into themselves.

Any ninja below the Kage level would have a hard time getting the better of these two teams.

"It's clear that Danzo, that old scoundrel, has given the order to take me down, and it's a very high priority."

Otherwise, given the discipline of Root, these ninjas would never completely abandon their mission to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and would do everything in their power to capture him.

"Make a note of this debt."

With these words silently in mind, Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced in the direction of Duan Ce Street, then vanished into the night in a flash.

One minute later, Jiraiya appeared there.

Although the fighting between Hagoromo Gengetsu and the Root ninjas was drowned out by the hustle and bustle of Tanabata Street, it could not escape the notice of a Sannin-level figure.

Tsunade continued drinking, uninterested in paying attention.

Only Jiraiya could arrive.

Looking at the eight corpses on the ground, Jiraiya was not in a good mood.

Although I dislike Danzo and Root's style, Root ninjas are ultimately members of Konoha.

Within the Land of Fire, someone actually killed eight Konoha ninjas, right under their noses—it was an extreme provocation no matter how you looked at it.

Jiraiya's expression immediately turned serious:

"Is that Orochimaru?"

His first thought was of his old friend.

Although Tsunade didn't say it, Jiraiya knew very well that Tsunade and Orochimaru had met in Tanabata before he and Naruto arrived, and that they had talked about something.

It's normal for the other party to still be lingering nearby.

However, after carefully examining the wounds on the eight Root ninjas, Jiraiya rejected this idea.

He was very familiar with Orochimaru's fighting style.

The way these Root ninjas died doesn't seem to be the work of Orochimaru.

"The other person? Able to take down eight Root ninjas in a short time, without a scratch or any trace of their own, is an extremely troublesome individual."

Jiraiya thought to himself with a solemn expression.

The mission to persuade Tsunade to return as the Fifth Hokage seemed to be much riskier than he had imagined.

"The little girl next to Tsunade must know something. We can't delay any longer; we must find out the truth as soon as possible," Jiraiya thought.

However, before that, since we're from the same village, we need to properly dispose of the corpses of these Root ninjas.

After the night of the Root ninja's annihilation, everything returned to calm.

As if nothing had happened, Tsunade continued to live a monotonous life of gambling, drinking, and sleeping.

Naruto, who bet he would master the Rasengan within seven days, studied the ninjutsu from morning till night.

Although Tsunade's orders prevented her from obtaining details of Orochimaru's deal from Shizune.

However, Jiraiya, who still managed to find out about Hagoromo Gengetsu's arrival, spent most of his time searching for and keeping a watchful eye on any hidden enemies in the vicinity of Tanabata Street, aside from occasionally drinking with Tsunade in a tacit manner.

One Orochimaru was already enough to give him trouble.

Here comes another legendary figure, Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

Jiraiya only felt a terrible headache.

the other side.

The troublesome Hagoromo Gengetsu is not currently in Tanabata, but is resting in a nearby city.

Although the Impure Earth Body doesn't need rest, a good environment can still make him feel much more comfortable.

The previous whirlwind tour left Yu Yi Xuan Yue with an insufficient understanding of the current ninja world.

Taking advantage of this free time, he took a good look around this world, which was very different from the Warring States period he was familiar with.

Seven days later.

Emerging from the cinema, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, having just finished watching one of the Princess of Wind and Cloud movies, remarked with emotion:

"I never imagined that film technology has developed to this extent. Compared to the flops I saw in my previous life, the movie I just watched was quite exciting."

Today's ninja world not only boasts a rich variety of ninjutsu, but also benefits from the convenience and advantages brought by technology.

Compared to the cold and desolate underworld, this wonderful world made him want to stay even more.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked up at the blazing sunlight and calculated the time; today was the agreed-upon day.

Orochimaru and Tsunade will be arriving soon, so I certainly can't miss this grand event.

"It's time to get going."

A gentle breeze swept by, and Yu Yixuanyue's figure disappeared in front of the cinema.

Short Book Street.

It's still that alley where the wall was smashed by the giant snake.

Last night, he deliberately drank with Jiraiya all night, and then, taking advantage of Jiraiya's inattention, he drugged him, causing Tsunade, who had been unconscious, to come to this alley alone and choose to meet Orochimaru.

Almost at the same time.

The two appeared on either side of the alley.

As they drew closer, a hint of doubt flashed in Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils.

"Has Yu Yi Xuan Yue not come?"

It is no coincidence.

Even though she appeared calm, Tsunade glanced around.

After finding no trace of Yu Yi Xuan Yue, her golden eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Is it just Orochimaru?"

Hagoromo Gengetsu, who was on Orochimaru and Tsunade's radar, did not arrive at this time.

After seeing the bet between Tsunade and Naruto, he clearly realized that Orochimaru's deal had fallen through.

Similarly, his own deal fell through.

Having no interest in getting entangled with the unyielding Tsunade, he decisively set his sights on Shizune.

As for how to do it.

He believed that with Orochimaru posing a threat, Shizune would be eager to come and help Tsunade.

The Konoha ninjas, nurtured by the Will of Fire, all share the principle of never abandoning their comrades.

So, what choices will they make for their companions?

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was very much looking forward to this.

In order not to affect their meeting the next day, Shizune had already been knocked unconscious by Tsunade and slept soundly for the entire night.

If Naruto hadn't been injured while practicing the Rasengan, he would have woken up early due to his physical condition, waking Shizune on the ground, and she would have remained unconscious for even longer.

"Oh no! Lady Tsunade!"

Upon learning of the current time from Naruto, Shizune immediately got up and was about to chase after her beloved Tsunade.

Just then, Jiraiya, who had been awakened by someone and also sensed something was wrong, rushed back. Finding Tsunade missing, he said to Shizune with a serious expression:

"Shizune, what exactly did you say to Orochimaru? It's about time you told me."

Shizune said with a somber expression, "I wanted to believe in Lady Tsunade, so I kept it to myself. But... there's no time! Please come with me, I'll tell you as I run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shine quickly ran outside.

Jiraiya and Naruto followed closely behind.

Midway through, while listening to Shizune recount the entire transaction, without mentioning that Naruto naturally assumed the answer should be "NO".

Jiraiya's heart gradually sank.

"Napaki. Orochimaru is truly cunning. We must stop Tsunade as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Jiraiya had already prepared for the worst.

But before he could take any action...

The unexpected appearance of the uninvited guest in front of him caused his expression to change drastically.
