I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 308 and 309: The Wooden Dragon Technique, Three Against One!

"Asuka, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly. You're still the same beautiful and lovely girl as before."

Emerging from the belly of the gray toad, Toad Master Jiraiya grinned at Mineko Yuuki, his eyes unabashedly fixed on her bulging, almost bursting chest.

"Lord Jiraiya, we just met at the beginning of the month." Mineko Yuuki smiled politely but with a sense of distance on her pretty face.

"Really? There's a saying that goes, 'A day apart feels like three autumns.'"

That lecherous immortal is really something!

Yuki Mineko, who appeared delicate and timid, twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth, and veins on her forehead were faintly visible.

How dare he flirt with me like that! If I weren't so weak, I would definitely make this old scoundrel taste my iron fist.

*Sigh*, I mustn't get angry. Senior Uchiha is still watching. I have to maintain my ladylike demeanor.

Asuka, this is the pseudonym that Yuki used to introduce himself at Mount Myōboku.

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed as he carefully examined Jiraiya, the Toad Sage.

The Toad Sage has finally arrived!

From Mount Myōboku to Sapporo, Jiraiya's appearances were always marked by direct confrontations with the Akatsuki organization, their relationship as diametrically opposed as fire and water.

Judging from Jiraiya's words, he was very knowledgeable about the Akatsuki organization.

He couldn't possibly refrain from interfering and sabotaging the Akatsuki's operations.

Jiraiya's appearance here was within the expectations of the Uchiha Sage Sect. Moreover, with such a commotion at Mount Fuji, his late arrival was somewhat unexpected for the Uchiha Sage Sect.

Jiraiya was dressed in the same Kabuki-style mixed samurai outfit as when he appeared in Sapporo, but on his back he was conspicuously carrying a yellowish-brown bottle that was more than half his height...

bottle?

Its shape is more like a jar, and its size is close to that of a gourd. Could it be Jiraiya the Toad Sage's secret weapon...?

As if noticing the gaze of the Uchiha Sage, Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, raised an eyebrow and turned to look over.

"Lady Konohanasakuya, I am Jiraiya from Mount Myōboku. The Great Toad Sage asked me to send his greetings to you."

Jiraiya abandoned his previous frivolous attitude and bowed respectfully like a junior.

Petals fell in profusion, and cherry blossom-like specks of light scattered everywhere. The phantom of Konohana Sakuragi appeared like a spirit behind her, hovering three feet above the head of the Uchiha Immortal.

"So it really is Gamamaru. Has it not yet passed away?"

"The Great Toad Sage is in good health and even drinks a little wine from time to time. He's even better than you imagined, Lady Konohana Sakura."

Jiraiya didn't find it offensive and laughed.

"Although I'm getting old and a bit confused, as long as I'm not drunk and talking in my sleep, the Great Toad Sage's predictions are still quite accurate. It was precisely because of the Great Toad Sage's guidance that I am here."

"Gamamaru's prophecy..."

After pondering for a moment, Mu Huakai Yeji nodded and said:

"Now that you've appeared here, you must have made thorough preparations to seal Princess Kaguya. The rest is up to you. After being imprisoned by Princess Kaguya for a thousand years, my divine power is almost depleted, and maintaining the mortal realm is extremely difficult..."

The phantom of Muhana Kaiya faded further and further, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would vanish with the wind at any moment.

"Wait! Lady Konohana Sakuya! I alone am afraid I can't handle Kaguya who has already turned into a tailed beast and gone berserk. Besides, your Wood Release is the most suitable for dealing with the power of the tailed beast."

"But my divine power has been completely exhausted..."

"At this point, I must recommend to you the high-quality specialty elixir from Mount Myōboku!"

Jiraiya took out a small gourd with one hand, gave Konohana Sakuya a thumbs-up with the other, and said with a hearty smile.

at the same time.

Dark clouds gathered atop Mount Fuji, accompanied by thunderous roars that nearly shattered the surrounding airspace.

However, this was not the roar of thunder, but the earth-shattering sound of a fierce battle between Kaguya and Susanoo, two enormous beings.

"Boom!"

The ground was torn apart by a strange force, with huge cracks, tens or even hundreds of meters long, resembling wounds on the earth. The still-burning lava, like blood, was still burning.

The mountain's rock strata are fractured, and large, crater-like cavities are scattered throughout, completely altering the topography of Mount Fuji.

While Susanoo is undoubtedly a god-like power capable of unparalleled offense and defense, with each strike possessing the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter rocks, Princess Kaguya, who possesses an immortal body, is no ordinary person either, able to quickly recover from each severe injury.

Relying on her immortality, the white giant rabbit that Princess Kaguya transformed into completely abandoned defense and adopted a tactic of trading injury for injury and life for life.

For a time, they were locked in a stalemate with Susanoo.

The third form of Susanoo is still qualitatively different from the complete Susanoo.

If it were a fully formed Susanoo, one strike could probably destroy even Mount Fuji.

"Oh dear, what's that saying again? 'A cornered dog will jump over the wall.'"

Wearing a vortex mask, Tobi's Mangekyou Sharingan swirled in his eyes as he said with a teasing grin:

"No, no! I remember now, even a rabbit will bite when cornered! You're absolutely right, you almost bit through my Susanoo."

"Princess Kaguya, so white and pretty, loves to eat radishes and greens, she's so cute hopping around!"

"asshole!"

Enraged by such mockery, Princess Kaguya unleashed her full set of fangs with her snow-white giant rabbit, once again engaging Susanoo in battle.

Suddenly a colossal creature appeared, uprooting mountains and felling trees—it was a toad!

It was a gigantic toad, almost as tall as Princess Kaguya, with a giant pipe in its mouth and wearing a toad-themed coat. It leaped from hundreds of meters away toward the two monsters that were locked in combat.

Toad Slash with a Short Sword!

With a swift stroke, the forty-meter-long sword severed one of Kaguya's massive tails, sending it crashing heavily to the ground.

"What?! You stinking toad, how dare you?!"

Kaguya, caught off guard by Gamabunta's powerful attack, immediately revealed an opening. Tobi, of course, would not let this opportunity pass. Susanoo struck with lightning speed, delivering a powerful punch that blasted Kaguya into the mountainside with absolute force.

"boom!"

The mountain collapsed, and the mudslide and falling rocks buried Princess Kaguya in an instant.

Two figures were standing on Gamabunta's head.

"They're really persistent."

Abi glanced at the Uchiha Sage Gate out of the corner of his eye and then looked away, focusing on the Toad Sage Jiraiya standing on Gamabunta's head, and said:

"I clearly sent Orochimaru to Mount Myōboku to hold you back, but I didn't expect him to still manage to come down and cause trouble. Tsk, you're really something."

"The so-called elixir of immortality was just a facade after all. Your Akatsuki organization's true objective is indeed the Nine-Tails."

Jiraiya stood imposingly on Gamabunta's head, looking coldly at Tobi and speaking.

"Jiraiya, your information network is really impressive."

The Mangekyou Sharingan within the vortex emitted a scarlet and dangerous aura.

"But this is a bit too well-informed. Only members of the organization knew about the search for the Nine-Tails. Jiraiya, could it be that you have a spy within the organization?"

"Hehe, what you don't want others to know, you shouldn't do in the first place. Don't underestimate my intelligence network. All the dirty deeds of your Akatsuki organization can be found out with just a little investigation." Jiraiya touched his nose and said with great pride.

"snort."

Afei snorted coldly, not taking Jiraiya's boasting to heart.

"Speaking of which, Afei or Yuan are just your pseudonyms. This immortal is very curious about what kind of face you have under your mask. Are you not an old acquaintance? And what is your real name...?"

Jiraiya gave a meaningful look and began to coax him.

"Are you trying to test me? It won't work..."

Afei's gaze drifted to the large jar on Jiraiya's back, and he immediately fell silent.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? You're not mute."

No matter how Jiraiya asked him questions, Tobi, who was usually a bit talkative, unusually kept his mouth shut.

"whispering sound."

Jiraiya smacked his lips blatantly, seemingly unwilling to accept that he hadn't gotten Tobi's real name.

This left the Uchiha Senmon standing to the side completely bewildered.

Just then, the earth rumbled, and Princess Kaguya rose to her feet once more.

The wounds that had been half-smashed by Susanoo began to grow flesh and heal at a visible speed.

"You scum, you despicable wretches! How dare you harm my precious body to this extent! Even if I were to tear you to pieces and swallow you whole, it would not atone for your sins!"

Princess Kaguya roared furiously, her several enormous tails slamming against the ground, causing Mount Fuji to shake violently.

A terrifying aura, as vast as a mountain, surged into the sky, blotting out the sun and moon, dimming their light.

"Afei, although we are enemies, weakening Kaguya is also our common goal."

Jiraiya's expression also became more serious, and he slowly said:

"Let's seal Princess Kaguya away before we start fighting, so we don't end up like the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits. If Princess Kaguya gets away, it will truly be a lose-lose situation."

Ah Fei remained silent, just like before.

However, he did not continue to show obvious hostility or murderous intent, which can be considered as his acquiescence.

"Lady Konohana Sakuya, I'll leave the rest to you."

Jiraiya completely changed his attitude towards the Uchiha Sage Clan, becoming utterly impolite and bossy:

"Hey kid, are you ready?"

The Uchiha Sage knew that Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, was a man of lust and had no interest in men. In addition, the difference in their power levels was vast, so they didn't take it to heart.

"Yes."

Uchiha Senmon took out the small gourd that Jiraiya had given to Konohana Sakuya, and poured out a few finger-sized black pills.

Is this the elixir that Mineko Yuki mentioned in her report at Mount Myōboku?

This certainly couldn't be a magic pill that could bring the dead back to life, heal the wounded, or grant immortality.

However, according to those lucky ones who sleepwalked on Mount Myōboku, they only shared one pill among themselves, and their exhausted bodies were restored to their original state, making them feel like they were floating on air.

"Awooo! I will devour you ants who dare to offend the celestial beings alive!"

The terrifying demonic energy almost solidified into a tangible form. Princess Kaguya roared to the sky, the sound shaking the heavens and causing waves to appear in the void.

Uchiha Senmon's vision went black for a moment, as if struck by lightning, and he almost fell off Gamabunta's head.

But suddenly, Jiraiya grabbed his shoulder. Jiraiya released his grip, a look of disdain on his face, and said:

"Hurry up and take this immortal pill! The immortal pill, a specialty of Mount Myōboku, can not only replenish spiritual power but also heal injuries."

Uchiha Senmon nodded. At this point, they had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

He swallowed the few pills that had been poured out of the gourd in one gulp.

In an instant, Uchiha Senmon felt his spiritual energy, which had been almost completely depleted, surge back to full capacity.

Not only that, but even more power surged from his limbs and bones, almost bursting out of his body!

Uchiha Senmon's face was flushed, and his brows were filled with pain.

"Boy, unleash all your power upon Lady Konohana Sakuya!"

Jiraiya shouted loudly.

At the same time, the white behemoth that Princess Kaguya had transformed into, carrying a terrifying, world-destroying momentum, pounced on the group.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Uchiha Senmon flipped his hands, forming various complex hand seals, and Konohana Sakuya, who resided in his body, also exerted her power at the same time!

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Uchiha Senmon let out a low shout, stretched out his hands toward Kaguya, and pressed them down sharply.

A giant dragon covered in wooden spikes rose from the earth, like a serpent coiled around Mount Fuji.

An unknown number of feet long wooden dragons stretched out their enormous bodies and rolled down toward Princess Kaguya, their immense binding force preventing her from breaking free for the time being.

"My power has been drained! Princess Konohana! It's you again!"

Princess Kaguya let out a scream as the giant white rabbit struggled desperately in agony, its four legs and enormous tail nearly crushing the summit of Mount Fuji!

Even so, Princess Kaguya, bound by the Wood Dragon Technique, was temporarily unable to move.

"That's it! I'll put all my remaining divine power into this one strike. I absolutely will not allow Princess Kaguya to break free of her restraints!"

Jiraiya the Toad Sage and Tobi simultaneously revealed wicked smiles full of ill intent.

They naturally wouldn't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by, showing absolutely no mercy as they launched a fierce attack on Princess Kaguya, mercilessly beating her when she was down.

Gamabunta's forty-meter-long sword slashed down, narrowly missing Kaguya's rabbit head.

"Three against one? You're supposed to be respectable people, don't you feel ashamed?"

Princess Kaguya, enraged, burst into a tirade of curses.

"There's no need to talk about celestial morality when dealing with a heretic like you!"

Jiraiya chuckled.

"Princess Kaguya, this is a righteous brawl!"
