Chapter 37: Might Always trumps Morality

Boom! Boom!

Fierce battles continued to erupt in the open field.

Knowing what Hagoromo Gengetsu was planning, Jiraiya intensified his offensive.

But none of this mattered to Hagoromo Gengetsu, whose chakra was almost infinitely replenished and whose Edo Tensei body could be repaired at any time.

However, Jiraiya was not the only one present.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Several poisoned needles were launched from Silent Wrist as hidden weapons, shooting towards Yu Yi Xuan Yue at incredible speed.

Although the movement was very small, it was still noticed by Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

He turned and dodged the thousand books one by one.

Taking advantage of this lull, Jiraiya clapped his hands together:

"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique!"

Jiraiya's white hair rapidly grew longer and thicker, resembling a lion's head, and quickly wrapped around Yuki Gengetsu from head to toe.

Click click~~

As the massive amount of white hair continued to shrink, a force powerful enough to cleave metal descended upon Yu Yixuanyue, determined to crush her into dust.

Despite the cracks appearing on her impure body, Yu Yi Xuan Yue remained unfazed and spoke:

"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"

A large amount of acid was spat out from Yuu Gengetsu's mouth, easily corroding away the Lion's Mane Technique that was wrapped around his body. Then, at his command, it surged towards Jiraiya and Shizune like a great river.

"This is troublesome."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly, his body retreating as he formed hand seals:

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

A vast brown swamp replaced the ground, intersecting with gushing acid.

Amidst the hissing sound of evaporation, the Yellow Springs Swamp visibly shrank rapidly.

However, the molten acid also stopped flowing and dissipated as it was consumed.

Boom!

Another loud explosion rang out in the distance.

Jiraiya frowned, glancing at Hagoromo Gengetsu, whose damaged body was rapidly repairing itself amidst the swirling confetti, and thought to himself:

"Ordinary damage has little effect on the impure body; only sealing techniques can completely restrain it. However, the enemy is Yu Yi Xuan Yue, and even for myself, it will be difficult to defeat him in a short time."

"If this drags on too long, what will happen to Tsunade?"

Jiraiya grew increasingly anxious.

Shizune, equally aware of the situation, gritted her teeth and said, "Lord Jiraiya, I'll hold him off! You go find Lady Tsunade!"

"Mute, you."

Jiraiya gave Shizune a deep look.

Seeing the resolute look on the other person's face, he, being a ninja, decisively said nothing more.

"Naruto, let's go!"

Only he can be effective against the combination of Orochimaru and Kabuto.

However, Naruto's important identity is undeniable.

Jiraiya naturally wanted to take the other person with him when he left.

"Hey, you made this decision so unilaterally, did you even consult me?"

As the person involved, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who had witnessed everything, shrugged with amusement.

The current scene is very similar to a scene from some anime he had seen before, where the protagonist encounters an enemy and, for some reason, someone in the protagonist's team chooses to stay behind and buy time for the protagonist.

However, the villain at this moment is himself.

But he really wanted to ask, are all villains this obedient?

You tell me how to do it, and I'll just follow your lead.

Jiraiya ignored Hagoromo Gengetsu's complaints and was about to take action on his own.

Just as Yu Yi Xuan Yue was about to stop him, a figure rushed over quickly.

"Your opponent now is me!"

With a swift movement of her lips, several poisoned needles shot out from her mouth, hurtling towards Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

Yu Yixuanyue slowed her pace and flicked her fingers a few times in the air.

With a few snapping sounds, the poisoned needles scattered on the ground.

Seeing this, Shizune launched a close-range attack without hesitation.

"Young lady, aren't you overestimating your abilities?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue easily blocked Jing Yin's punches and kicks one by one, and continued to say,

"Or perhaps you've underestimated my abilities?"

"For Lady Tsunade! No matter how difficult it is, I will do it!"

Silent gaze remained unwavering.

She opened her lips again:

"Ninja Technique: Poison Mist!"

moment!

Shizune's chakra transformed into a special chemical substance, which she exhaled from her mouth. Upon contact with the air, it turned into a highly toxic purple mist that rapidly spread towards Hagoromo Gengetsu.

"That's interesting."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue retreated.

"But that's far from enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, she clapped her hands together, and a large amount of wind burst out from Yu Yixuanyue's hands, blowing away the poisonous mist that was coming.

A strong wind howled, stirring up layers of dust.

As Shizune squinted, anxiously searching for Yu Yixuanyue's whereabouts, a teasing voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"If making an oath and shouting a slogan like 'For so-and-so, I must do this and that' could make things happen, then what's the point of diligent training? Just unleash your seed at will and you can wipe out all your enemies."

Behind!

Shizune's eyes narrowed, and pale blue chakra enveloped her hands, transforming them into sharp scalpels that swiftly swung behind her.

next second.

"Not here!"

Noticing that there was no space behind her, Jingyin's pupils contracted, and she instinctively pushed off with her feet, preparing to retreat first.

But it was too late.

Yu Yixuanyue appeared beside Jingyin like a ghost.

"Practice some more."

boom!

Shizune was sent flying backwards towards Jiraiya like a cannonball.

As it turns out, sometimes just shouting slogans is useless.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked at Jiraiya, who hadn't gone far, pointed her finger, and several Lava Release fireballs fell from the sky, forcing him to stop.

"Still not working?"

Jiraiya sighed and stopped walking.

Naruto, who was standing nearby, quickly ran over and hugged Shizune.

"Sister Shizune, are you alright?"

"fine."

Shizune nodded reluctantly, and while using the Palm Healing Technique to heal her injuries, she apologized to Jiraiya:

"I'm sorry, Jiraiya-sama, I'm so incompetent!"

"It would be difficult for anyone else to do this. I was too impatient and took things for granted." Jiraiya looked at Hagoromo Gengetsu who was walking over and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

He was still clinging to a sliver of hope.

Little did they know that such an outcome would most likely result in Tsunade not catching up, but instead losing Shizune's life first.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue returned to the three who had reunited, and said calmly:

"Hand over the Spirit Transformation Technique, and I'll let you meet with Tsunade."

Before Jiraiya and Shizune could say anything, Naruto suddenly shouted angrily:

"Just because someone doesn't want to give you their own things, you try to take them by force? What kind of lousy senior are you!"

Naruto didn't know what the Spirit Transformation Technique was, nor did he know what Hagoromo Gengetsu's true identity was.

But his simple beliefs told him that forcibly taking things from others was wrong in itself.

"That's very true."

Faced with Naruto's questioning, Hagoromo Gengetsu not only did not get angry, but nodded in agreement.

"From a moral standpoint, what I did was indeed wrong."

"But when has this world ever truly talked about morality?"

"Kid, as someone who's been there, I'm going to teach you a real lesson today."

"Might makes right!"
