Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 192 Vortex...Void! (33) Four Thousand Two

Giant vines soared into the air, and enormous flowers bloomed on them at that moment, their yellow pollen instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield like mist.

As a medical ninja, Tsunade held her breath, preparing to drop the syringe she had taken from the seal, but the next moment she found that she had no strength left in her body.

Beneath Uzumaki Sora's feet, a giant tree lifted him up and brought him to Tsunade, who was bound by the tree: "I have no intention of killing you. Under these circumstances, even the chakra within your Yin Seal will probably not last long before it is completely absorbed."

"By then, you'll be forty-six years old, and you probably won't be able to maintain this appearance anymore, right? And even now, in your Hundred Healings state, you can't get rid of this constraint."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade, who was in a daze, did not give up. However, as the chakra in her body was slowly absorbed by the giant tree, her gradually weakening body went limp.

The giant tree then placed her down, and once she landed on the ground, the Wood Release technique no longer absorbed her chakra.

At the same time, Jiraiya, whose Sage Art: Fire Release was covered by the Five Right Guards, realized for the first time the difference in overall power.

The pollen, combined with the powder explosion from the flames, instantly covered it in soot.

"Jiraiya, with power like that, we have absolutely no chance of winning!"

Suddenly, Shima stuck out his tongue and chopped down all the giant trees in front of him.

However, the next moment, even more giant tree vines and mats rolled up.

Fukasaku frowned slightly. In this situation, every tree on the entire battlefield would become their enemy.

These giant trees are not only tough, but once bound, they can also absorb chakra from a person's body, in addition to the pollen that fills the air once again.

There's absolutely no chance of winning!

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the giant tree swept in from all directions once again.

The pollen had already put to its effect, leaving Jiraiya feeling drowsy and disoriented.

The toad on his shoulder was separated and bound by the giant tree, and Jiraiya's natural energy was exhausted, forcing him to deactivate Sage Mode.

Uzumaki Sora, who had been walking slowly towards them, smiled and said, "You two, why aren't you dispelling your summons and returning to Mount Myōboku yet?"

Fukasaku glanced at the unconscious Jiraiya, then looked at Uzumaki Sora with a serious expression and said, "Having obtained such power, your purpose doesn't seem to be killing them. What exactly is your purpose?"

Kong shook his head slightly: "Although there are differences, perhaps my purpose is the same as that old toad behind you."

"To bring this distorted world back on track, and to usher in lasting peace. What do you think of this goal?"

Fukasaku, the toad, frowned deeply: "Trying to eliminate Uchiha Kumo prematurely with such power, how could your goal possibly be peace?"

These words made Uzumaki Sora laugh in anger.

He immediately looked at Fukasaku and said, "The battle with Uchiha Kumo took place in the uninhabited area along the coast of the Land of Fire. Apart from the onlookers, there were no casualties in this battle."

"This time, the battle against Jiraiya and Tsunade will take place in a remote area, away from the town. So what makes you think my goal isn't peace? Does being an enemy of Konoha, or going against that old man Gamamaru's prophecy, automatically make me evil?"

The barrage of questions startled Fukasaku, but he quickly replied, "After the Third Shinobi World War, the shinobi world was in a state of balance, jointly maintained by the five great nations and the five great shinobi villages. But your appearance is shattering that peace!"

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "I wasn't involved in the war between Konoha and Kumogakure!"

"The fear instilled by Uchiha Kumo's killing of two Raikages makes Konoha's plans before the final showdown at the Sea of ​​the End clear as day. Don't you think that's a far-fetched argument?"

At this moment, Zhima Hama, who was also bound, said, "Honey, the old man is indeed getting a little senile."

Fukazuki Toad glared at him: "Honey, don't embarrass me now!"

The next moment, Shima snorted coldly and turned into smoke, returning to Mount Myōboku.

Fukasaku glanced at Jiraiya, who was bound beside him: "No matter what, someone will eventually stop you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fukasaku disappeared.

Knowing that Vortex Sora had no intention of killing them, they could only retreat when they were powerless to do anything else.

Uzumaki Sora glanced at Tsunade and Jiraiya, who were bound, and the next moment he formed hand seals, and the Wood Release slowly faded away.

At this moment, Juzo Biwa, who had been watching the battle from a distance, also came over. After looking at the two of them, he asked, "Aren't you going to kill them? Although they are nothing to you in terms of power, they are legendary ninjas to normal people."

Sora gave Biwa Juzo a disapproving look: "Those two aren't on my kill list. They're old but not cunning, their hearts aren't consumed by hatred, and they have absolute trust in the next generation. There aren't many high-ranking officials like that anymore."

Kong chuckled and said, "So you were saying I'm not a normal person?"

These words made Biwa Juzo catch his breath, and he replied awkwardly, "It's like a god's power; he's not an ordinary person."

At this moment, Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had been unconscious, also woke up.

Just as I was about to move, I found that I had no strength left in my body.

Kong smiled and looked at the two of them: "It seems that your strength is not even enough to witness the Wood Dragon Technique."

Jiraiya replied in a deep voice, "You never intended to kill us in the first place, so what was the point of defeating us, and what was this so-called verification?"

Sora shook his head slightly: "I only said it on a whim. But Jiraiya, having traveled all over the ninja world, have you found a way to truly bring peace to this world yet?"

"No more hatred between people, no more war, and everyone able to achieve their goals. Have you found a way to achieve such a world?"

Jiraiya's breath hitched, and after a long pause, he shook his head slightly: "Not yet, but I firmly believe that one day in the future, peace will finally arrive!"

Looking at Jiraiya's confident and resolute face at the end, this confidence without any reason is really inexplicable!

At this moment, Tsunade spoke up, "So, Uzumaki Sora, what's your plan? I heard what you and the two sages were saying. Peace? Then what's your plan to eliminate hatred between people?"

Faced with Tsunade's question, Sora lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Perhaps only those who have experienced suffering can understand how hard-won and precious peace is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya looked up at the sky and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Sora chuckled: "Do you think that if a power existed that could destroy an entire village with a single blow, and any of the five great ninja villages dared to start a war, would there even be a war?"

? ? ? ×2

Sora's words stunned Jiraiya and Tsunade.

This scene left Kong somewhat stunned. He succeeded? This talent... is too strong!

However, the next moment...

"A sharp blade hanging around the neck, ready to fall at any moment."

Jiraiya slightly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Uzumaki Sora: "With actions like these, peace cannot be born, only fear! Fear will be killed by the blade above your head in the next moment..."

"Uzumaki Sora, if this is your goal, then even if you achieve it, you will ultimately be overthrown!"

"Achieving peace through force is impossible!"

At that moment, Tsunade, who was standing nearby, also said, "Even if that blade succeeds as you say, as someone who does whatever they please, this world will never have peace again!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Whirlpool exhaled.

Does this mean... it didn't work?

What is a certain probability?

If it's like Old Ma's, wouldn't it be a complete rip-off?

and many more!

At that moment, a thought came to mind.

If changes can be positive or negative, then can the probability of talent persuasion also be positive or negative?

This talent was obtained from Naruto, in the original story as I remember it, whether it was fighting against Pain or Obito at the end.

The Nine-Tails went berserk and blew Pain's Deva Path apart; the Nine-Tails' power erupted from the Sage Art pupils, startling Nagato.

After the battle with Obito, he dragged out the Tailed Beast.

Both times, I was able to persuade them only after I had essentially won. This aligns with the notes in my mind.

So...

Is it only by taking a positive stance to persuade others that this power can be activated?

Thinking of this, Uzumaki Sora immediately lost interest in the two guys in front of him.

"Loquat Juzo, you're gone."

???

Looking completely bewildered, Juzo Biwa looked at Sora and asked, "Aren't we supposed to verify something else? Aren't we going to continue?"

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "It has already been verified. There is no need to kill the two of them, so there is no point in staying here."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them vanished from the spot in an instant.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a glance.

"Didn't you say... he would need the necromancy contract from Shikkotsu Forest?"

Jiraiya frowned slightly: "Judging from your situation over the past six months, it seems he has indeed been searching for you for over six months. But..."

He simply stated his purpose and left?

What's the point of doing this?

You don't think you can turn me and Tsunade against your side with just two sentences, do you?

How is that possible?!

Jiraiya, panting as he struggled to his feet with a frown, reached out and pulled Tsunade up as well.

"If he has lost interest in you, then perhaps in terms of immortal arts, it really is as I said before, that the inheritance of the three holy lands is not necessarily required."

Jiraiya's voice had barely faded when a slap landed on his head.

Tsunade glared at him: "What do you mean you're no longer interested in me? Are you looking for death?"

Jiraiya chuckled and added, "Summoning contract, contract... just a slip of the tongue."

Then, the two people, who were being helped together, headed towards the market town.

On the way, Jiraiya thought for a moment and asked, "Do you plan to come back? The Konoha now is very different from the Konoha of the past."

Tsunade paused for a moment and asked, "Because of Minato and the Uchiha? If that clan is still under the old man's control, along with a few Hokage advisors, the Uchiha will probably never gain his trust."

Jiraiya gave an awkward laugh: "Although I hate to admit it, even this old man seems to have admitted his mistakes because of the changes in the village."

"The Uchiha clan... is quite different now because of the existence of Uchiha Kumo and Uchiha Shisui. After all, it's the village where you were born and raised, don't you want to go back and visit?"

After a moment of thought, Tsunade raised her head and looked at Jiraiya with suspicion.

"Uchiha Yun, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi. These three are the core of the Uchiha force that I know of right now. Among them, Uchiha Yun's power has become somewhat extraordinary after the battle just now."

"In this situation, are you suggesting I return to the village... in an attempt to achieve a relative balance?"

After speaking, Jiraiya gave an awkward laugh: "Although everything in the village is developing in a positive direction, Minato wants to see more of the Uchiha clan's future. After all, that clan is quite worrying because of the necessary conditions for awakening the Sharingan..."

Tsunade laughed in exasperation at his admission: "Even if I went, you already saw Uzumaki Sora's power. He was able to fight her to the point of the End of the Sea. What use would my return be? The imbalance of power wouldn't be erased!"

Jiraiya nodded, then said in a deep voice, "But your identity can erase the village's sense of belonging. As a direct descendant of the First Hokage, your existence is a form of appeal."

"Minato told me about Uchiha Kumo's attitude. He is neither Uchiha Kagami nor Uchiha Shisui. Even Shisui's attitude seems to be gradually shifting under his influence."

"Of course, this does not mean that the Uchiha wanted to stage a coup to seize power. Uchiha Kumoya has always spared no effort in supporting Minato."

"However... Uchiha Yun also stated that he is not someone who would give up himself for the sake of the village."

As Jiraiya finished speaking, Tsunade laughed mockingly.

"Hehe... Relationships between people are reciprocal. The village was able to isolate the Uchiha clan from the center back then, so Uchiha Kumo has already done a great job in doing this much."

"Giving up oneself for the village? Such a statement... perhaps only fools who make becoming Hokage their life's goal could do that?"

As she spoke, two figures appeared in Tsunade's mind.

Jiraiya, standing beside her, remained silent. Knowing Tsunade as he did, he knew she might say one thing but do another.

At this moment, Shizune, who had finally managed to break free from her restraints, staggered over from not far away.

"Tsunade-sama...!"

Amidst the shouts, Jingyin, already panting heavily, finally ran over.

That Wood Release technique that bound him could actually absorb chakra!

"Mute? Aren't you still at the izakaya?"

Before Jingyin could answer, the izakaya owner walked over from behind her: "Who's paying for your bill? This woman said you're rich! You're not... trying to dine and dash, are you?!"

Tsunade was taken aback by the question, then looked at Shizune and asked, "Where's the money?"

Shizune was on the verge of tears, her empty hands clutching Tun Tun tightly: "That whirlpool Kong took the money! Both money boxes are gone!"

T凸T

In an instant, Tsunade felt dizzy and her body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground again.

My two suitcases full of money...!

That bastard just stole it!

"Whirlpool...Vortex...Void!"

After a roar, Tsunade, her face pale, looked at Jiraiya beside her.

The two stared at each other awkwardly for a moment before Tsunade said, "Could you lend me some money?"

……

Done, off to fix the mistakes. I'm exhausted...

Thank you so much, everyone!
