Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 191 Do you...want to die? (23) Four Thousand Two

The town of Tanokuni, an izakaya (Japanese pub).

Having just cast aside a series of thoughts she knew were wrong, Tsunade slightly raised her head and looked at Jiraiya, asking, "You still haven't answered me. If the opponent's power truly reaches the level of my grandfather, will Uchiha Kumo have the power to stop him?"

Startled awake, Jiraiya nodded and then shook his head: "Not necessarily... The power of the Cloud is not just the blue giant Susanoo of Madara Uchiha mentioned in the records. Before the war between Konoha and Kumogakure, he learned the Eight Gates from Might Guy."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade: "The Eight Gates, especially the power of the Gate of Death, and the mission report after the war—we've both seen it."

Tsunade nodded slightly, "Might Guy!"

That village, where there were only genin for thousands of years, was able to open the Eight Gates, which limit the human body's limits, using this forbidden technique. After the Gate of Death, he would possess power surpassing that of a Kage.

Of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, four were killed on the spot, and three escaped.

but……

Tsunade asked doubtfully, "The power described in the mission report at the time was not comparable to that of my grandfather. Moreover, it was a death gate; once opened, death was the only outcome."

Jiraiya shook his head slightly: "The power gained after opening the Gate of Death in the Eight Gates depends on one's own basic strength. Furthermore, one of the eye techniques of Yun's Mangekyou Sharingan is the ability to instantly rewind time and instantly recover from injuries."

Tsunade paused, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Such an ability can indeed be used in conjunction with the Eight Gates. And if the foundation determines the upper limit..."

"Wait a minute, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is indeed powerful, but their physical strength doesn't seem to be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiraiya raised his hand to block him, and then explained his ancestral bloodline and why Uzumaki Sora wanted to eliminate him in advance.

Among these concerns was Minato's worries about the time it would take to clear the vortex.

Just as the two were drinking with furrowed brows, a head popped out from behind the izakaya's partition.

Uzumaki Sora, perched on the barrier, waved to the three below and laughed, "What a coincidence! Just out for a late-night snack, and I run into two of the legendary Sannin."

The moment the sound rang out, Jiraiya and Tsunade felt a chill run down their spines.

When?!

The wine was only sipped briefly, but no noticeable difference was detected in the sensory experience...

If the other party had attacked just now... they would have died!

A moment later, Jiraiya looked up at Uzumaki Sora: "If he wanted to kill us, he wouldn't have needed to launch a sneak attack. Am I right, Uzumaki Sora?"

As Jiraiya's voice faded, Tsunade, having recovered, realized who was lying on the partition behind her.

Turning around, the iconic red hair of the Uzumaki clan appeared before me.

He appears to be a very sunny and cheerful young man, with a smiling face that seems to have nothing to do with evil.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang."

A Flying Thunder God kunai appeared on Jiraiya's table, and the next moment, Uzumaki Sora appeared beside Jiraiya from the partition...

Flying Thunder God Technique!

Tsunade's gaze turned slightly serious. Had even Minato made a deal with him?

Even if they are from the Uzumaki clan, they shouldn't be so hasty when they know their origins are unknown!

Uzumaki Sora smiled, casually picked up a new wine glass, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

In any case, one cannot enjoy the privilege of drinking alcohol.

"Even the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages would address Tsunade as 'Princess' out of respect. She learned to gamble from her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, when she was young, but she seems to lose every time she gambles."

"The only time you win is when a loved one dies. Every turn of good luck in gambling seems to fill you with dread."

"He became a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and was later given the almost humiliating title of 'Sannin' by Hanzo of the Salamander during the Second Shinobi World War."

"You gave that necklace with special powers to your younger brother, Senju Nawaki, and he died. The deaths of your former lover, Kato Dan, and your brother caused you, a former member of the Sannin, to develop a laughable hemophobia."

"Heh... He then left the village due to dissatisfaction with the village's policies and the death of his own relatives."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uzumaki Sora slightly raised his head to look at Tsunade: "Am I... right?"

In an instant, Tsunade, who was being stared at, had her eyes filled with fear and unease.

At that very moment, the Sharingan in the empty eye socket instantly activated, and with the three tomoe, the genjutsu suddenly erupted.

"Whoosh!"

Just as his white hair began to spread, it was grabbed by Sora's hand, and branches sprouted out to lock Jiraiya's hair in place.

"Don't get so agitated... A surprise attack won't work on me. Or... do you want to die here with Tsunade?"

As he spoke, Kong looked at Jiraiya with his empty eyes, but Jiraiya instantly looked away.

"Hehehe... The Sharingan is already deactivated, so there's no need to be so afraid."

With a smile, Uzumaki Sora withdrew the Wood Release technique from his hand, while Jiraiya simultaneously withdrew his hair.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, on the other side, was trembling with fear, her hands wrapped around her knees as she curled up in a corner, looking utterly pitiful.

Shizune, who was standing to the side, also realized what was happening and reached out to send out chakra to disrupt the meridians and break the illusion.

But the next moment, several branches suddenly shot out from the wooden tabletop, binding it and sealing its mouth.

Sora looked at Shizune and said, "Shizune, Kato Dan's niece. You've been following Tsunade out of the village for so many years, but it seems you haven't mastered either the Yin Seal or the Hundred Healings Technique: Creation and Rebirth."

"Stop joking, I just had a sudden whim. Maybe... her hemophobia can be cured? Can't you see she still hasn't broken the Yin seal and dispelled the illusion at this point?"

As the sound of emptiness faded, Jiraiya also realized this.

The genjutsu that Tsunade was under didn't seem to be the Mangekyou Sharingan's Tsukuyomi. If it were Tsukuyomi, it would have ended in an instant.

But if it's just a simple genjutsu, why hasn't Tsunade broken it?!

At this moment, Sora smiled and said, "I've already said it, it was just a sudden urge to experiment with some things. Tsunade's power is better when it's complete."

Jiraiya clenched his fists: "If anything happens to Tsunade, you will face the wrath of the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

Sora shook his head slightly: "No, she doesn't represent Konoha. And even Uchiha Yun couldn't completely kill me. Or rather... no one in this world can completely kill me yet."

Jiraiya frowned slightly, knowing that Uzumaki Sora was not making baseless accusations.

Information about its ability to resurrect and live forever had been circulating in the black market for many years.

Even after being blasted to pieces by that power during the battle at the Sea of ​​Ending, it was still able to revive.

Perhaps... sealing techniques are the real key to defeating him.

At this moment, due to the different flow rates, Tsunade, who was in the illusion, suddenly awoke.

The next moment, he raised his hand and swung a strange force towards the vortex.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Sora caught the punch with one hand.

And at the moment of catching him, the huge tree branch instantly enveloped the boxer, so that the aftershocks of the force did not destroy the entire izakaya.

"Click-clack..."

With a crisp snapping sound, the branch was slowly retracted.

Uzumaki Sora withdrew his hand, smiled, and said, "The owner of the izakaya is just an ordinary businessman. Don't ruin his shop."

He then looked at Tsunade and smiled, "Well... if you want to have a fight, go outside the town."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, who was furious, and raised his hand to stop her, but his hand was blocked.

Tsunade pointed at Sora and said, "I will never allow the likeness of Dan and Nawaki to materialize! Sora, I want to see just how much of Grandfather's power you've obtained!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade turned and walked outside, with Jiraiya following behind her.

The one left at the end glanced at the aggrieved Shizune and shrugged: "It seems they've all forgotten about you, but with your strength, an izakaya is indeed a good place. At least you won't get implicated because of watching the battle, right?"

Kong smiled and casually put the two money boxes into the sealed scroll before turning and leaving.

……

Outside the town, Sora looked at the two people standing guard in front of him.

At this moment, the Yin Seal on Tsunade's forehead had been removed.

Sora shook his head slightly and said, "In the Hundred Healings state, both ninjutsu and taijutsu are greatly enhanced, and because of the abundant chakra, genjutsu will also be ineffective."

"However, you two should be able to understand the difference between us, right? And the illusion magic from before seems to have improved your hemophobia a lot."

At this moment, Jiraiya, unable to contain his curiosity, asked Tsunade, "What exactly did this guy show you during his genjutsu?"

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya: "Fighting a foe like this, fight seriously!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya put away his doubts.

The next moment, he formed a hand seal and landed on the ground with one hand: Spirit Summoning Technique.

"Little Jiraiya, I still have a midnight snack cooking in the pot!"

"Summoning us so late at night must mean there's a troublesome enemy! Honey, we need to prioritize."

Two toads appeared on Jiraiya's shoulders, and with an apologetic smile, Jiraiya said to the two toads, "I'm so sorry to bother you two so late, but if the opponent is him, without Sage Mode, he would probably be defeated in an instant."

As soon as the words were spoken, both toads looked at the opposite side at the same time.

Uzumaki Sora smiled and said, "Fukasaku and Shima, by landing on your shoulders, can absorb natural energy in your place, thus prolonging the power of Sage Mode. Your clasped hands are a sign of preparation, but this time is a bit too long."

Kong shook his head slightly and said leisurely, "I can wait for you. After all, if it's not in its complete state, the perfection of the verification is not certain."

At this moment, Fukasaku's gaze turned slightly serious: "An opponent who has reached the level of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju? Uzumaki Sora..."

Shima Gama frowned as well: "Was the terrain along the coast of the Land of Fire formed because of his battle with that Uchiha kid from Konoha? Such power, even in Sage Mode..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fukasaku Toad interrupted him: "Honey, Jiraiya naturally has his reasons!"

The conversation between the two toads piqued Sora's interest, and he chuckled, saying, "Mount Myōboku... that old toad named Gamamaru, he's lived for thousands of years, hasn't he? He once guided the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Perhaps it wasn't guidance... guidance? seduction? Or something else entirely."

As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed a figure rushing towards him, and Kong instantly disappeared from the spot.

"boom!!"

Tsunade's foot slammed down, and the ground instantly shattered into pieces.

However, as the dust settled, Kong, arms crossed, said from a short distance away: "It seems you're a bit impatient now that you've broken the Yin Seal..."

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, with a mere flick of his body, Sora appeared in front of Tsunade and threw a punch.

When two superhuman forces collide, the chakra that had been gathered in their fists explodes in an instant.

"boom!!!"

With a roar, he threw three Flying Thunder God Shuriken into the air in the next moment, and his figure appeared behind Tsunade in an instant.

However, just as Tsunade turned around and threw a punch, his figure disappeared again and reappeared in front of her.

"boom!"

A punch landed, striking straight at the chest.

In an instant, Tsunade was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

However, through creation and regeneration, even such severe internal injuries are completely healed in the next moment.

"Whoosh!"

Kong smiled and sneered as he reappeared in front of him in an instant, then kicked down.

"Bang!"

"boom!!"

Suddenly, a pair of arms appeared and caught the foot, causing the ground to shatter instantly with the immense force.

At that moment, a guy with a pungent nose and toad-like bumps on his face appeared in front of me.

Kong casually stomped down again, slamming his shin into the ground.

However, the next moment, Tsunade's sudden attack made Ku abandon his perverse pleasure of hitting wooden stakes.

Stepping back, Uzumaki Sora looked at Jiraiya with disdain and said, "If Sage Mode looked like this, I'd probably have to give up this power. It's just... indescribably ugly."

Jiraiya smiled and replied, "After all, my skills are still lacking. But you'd better be careful from now on."

careful?

"laugh!"

With a sneer, Uzumaki Sora formed the hand seals: "Just what kind of reliance do you have to utter such arrogant words? Be careful? Do you think you're Uchiha Kumo?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless enormous tree branches rose from the ground in an instant.

It swept upwards, heading straight for Jiraiya and Tsunade to attack.

The two scattered instantly. Under the effects of Sage Mode and Byakugou, their speed and reaction time were enhanced, allowing them to evade the giant tree's strangulation.

"Jiraiya, if things continue like this, the entire battlefield will be in his favor."

Jiraiya nodded at Fukasaku's reminder and then said, "Let's use Sage Mode. First, we must destroy the giant tree in front of the opponent."

The next moment, the two toads and Jiraiya simultaneously formed hand seals, and with the combined chakra, oil, wind, and fire instantly formed a complex ninjutsu.

Immortal Technique: Five Right Gatekeepers

In its Sage Mode, massive flames instantly engulf the entire battlefield.

However, before the massive flames could even get close, countless giant trees, fueled by Uzumaki Sora's chakra, erupted once more and swept out in an instant.

Heavenly Guardian Kick!

Having dodged the strangulation attack with her chakra scalpel and speed, Tsunade seized the opportunity in an instant while the giant tree was focused on extinguishing the flames.

However, the next moment...

Wood Release: The World of Flowering Trees Descends!

"boom!!!"

In an instant, amidst a deafening roar like an earthquake, the massive tree that was sweeping upwards underwent a change in mass.

Tsunade's landing kick was blocked by the towering tree.
