Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

But in reality, his eyes, hidden by his messy hair, were like a high-precision radar scanner, frantically extracting all the information in the laboratory!

Until he met a pair of vertical pupils.

"It's Jiraiya. I never expected to see you like this."

A sound like a viper flicking its tongue echoed eerily in the empty laboratory.

On the other side of the giant experimental table, a figure wearing a white lab coat and with long black hair slowly turned around.

The comical and roguish look on Jiraiya's face vanished instantly.

He ignored the force of the light stepping on his back, and his muscles tensed up suddenly.

"Snapped."

Uchiha Yue snapped his fingers, and the chakra ropes binding Jiraiya were released naturally.

Guang snorted coldly, withdrew his foot, and retreated to Yue's side.

"Orochimaru……"

Jiraiya's voice was hoarse, revealing an undisguised heartache.

"I never expected... that you actually mixed up with Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja."

"Spending it together? Heh heh heh..."

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, licked his lips, and chuckled softly.

"Jiraiya, you're still the same as before, only able to see things through the narrow-minded lens of Konoha. In the current ninja world, am I not just another S-rank rogue ninja?"

Jiraiya suddenly took a step forward, his fists clenched, his eyes slightly red.

"Sarutobi-sensei was severely injured because of your defection! But even in his coma, he was still calling your name while lying in a hospital bed! And Danzo advisor... he was even beaten so badly that he suffered a brain injury and can only sit in a wheelchair drooling!"

What happened between Sarutobi-sensei and Danzo? Orochimaru wondered.

The empty underground laboratory suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

On Orochimaru's pale face, which was usually calm and expressionless, as if he were wearing a cold mask, a rare... look of bewilderment appeared.

Sarutobi-sensei was seriously injured?

Danzo was beaten until he was drooling.

Did I do it?!

He rapidly replayed his memories of the night he defected: he had indeed summoned the reanimated First and Second Hokage, but then the Second Hokage suddenly went berserk, pointing at Hiruzen and Danzo and cursing them, even severing Danzo's arm with a Water Severing Wave.

He himself took advantage of the moment when the Second Hokage was disciplining his disciple and the chaos caused by the sudden intrusion of the Uchiha elites to slip away and head to the Land of Wind overnight.

When I left, those two old guys were still putting on a melodramatic show with the second generation leader.

How come they were beaten into Konoha's intensive care unit and became paralyzed on one side the moment I left?!

Did the second generation do it?

Still Uchiha...

However, none of this concerns me.

It's probably all related to Yue, who was trying not to laugh.

Fine, he'll take the blame.

“Boring. If you’re just here to tell me this information, you can leave.”

Orochimaru slowly approached Jiraiya, his voice hoarse and feverish:

"Also, stop judging me by your pathetic entanglements; that's no longer what I'm after."

"Orochimaru... you are truly beyond saving."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, his nails digging deep into his palms, drawing blood.

"Since you remain so stubborn..."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, suppressing all his grief, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp, and his hands suddenly formed a hand seal!

Chapter 140 Sage Mode Jiraiya

"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique!"

Jiraiya's full head of white hair suddenly grew wildly, like countless incredibly strong white steel wires, tearing through the air with a sharp shriek, and swept towards Orochimaru!

However, before Orochimaru could make a move...

"It's not proper etiquette to wreck someone else's lab like that, Toad Master."

Uchiha Yue, who had been watching the show, gently put down his coffee cup.

"Buzz—!!!"

An absolute gravitational force slammed into Jiraiya!

"boom!"

Jiraiya's surging white hair hadn't even touched Orochimaru's clothes before he was slammed to the ground by the terrifying gravitational field!

However, just as he was about to fall to the ground...

Uchiha Tsuki's eyes flickered slightly as he immediately noticed the dramatic change in the nature of Jiraiya's chakra.

"Natural energy?"

"Bang--!!!"

With a deafening explosion, two thick plumes of white smoke burst open on Jiraiya's left and right shoulders!

"Jiraiya! You actually summoned us to this godforsaken place! The magnetic field here is really unsettling!"

"Stop complaining, honey! Jiraiya said before that this time the enemy might be an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, and there might be more than one! Focus!"

As the smoke cleared, two small, cloaked, elderly toads sat steadily on Jiraiya's shoulders.

The two great hermits of Mount Myōboku—Fukasaku and Shima!

At this moment, Jiraiya's cheeks were covered with thick toad-like markings, his nose grew larger, and his already enormous chakra underwent a qualitative leap after fusing with natural energy!

Sage Mode! Here I come!

"break!"

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya's physical strength and power were amplified tenfold or even a hundredfold! He let out a roar and, using Sage Chakra, managed to break free from the Moon's "Heavenly Lord" gravity field!

"boom!"

Jiraiya shattered the metal floor with one foot, his figure transforming into a blur that was impossible to detect with the naked eye, heading straight for Orochimaru next to the lab table!

His goal was extremely clear.

Using the absolute explosive power of Sage Mode, obtain some information about Loulan. If possible, forcibly kidnap Orochimaru and use the Reverse Summoning Technique to escape back to Konoha!

"Orochimaru! Come with me!" Jiraiya stretched out his huge hand, which was covered in Sage Chakra, and grabbed Orochimaru's shoulder hard.

"Too slow, Jiraiya."

Orochimaru didn't even move an inch, his golden vertical pupils filled with mocking schadenfreude.

Just as Jiraiya's hand was about to touch Orochimaru, a sharp red lightning bolt suddenly cut off his path!

"Clang!"

Uchiha Hikaru drew his sword, his Mangekyou Sharingan locking onto Jiraiya.

Even if the opponent's speed is astonishing in Sage Mode, there are still clues to be found in those eyes that see through all things!

"Thousand Birds Sharp Spear!"

Lightning Release chakra transformed into a high-pressure light sword several meters long, piercing straight into Jiraiya's chest!

"Little girl, don't be so arrogant! Immortal Technique: Thousand Needles!"

Jiraiya didn't retreat at all. His white hair transformed into the fastest and widest-ranging rain of pear blossom needles in the ninja world, pouring down towards the light in an overwhelming manner!

"Amaterasu!"

Undeterred, Guang focused his gaze, and pitch-black flames suddenly ignited in mid-air, transforming into a black wall of fire that incinerated all the deadly needles!

"Black flames? Just as the intelligence said!"

Jiraiya's attack failed, and using the recoil, he veered back in mid-air, frantically forming hand seals.

"Bosses! Use that move!"

Fukasaku and Shima immediately understood and simultaneously formed hand seals, one on the left and one on the right.

"Sage Art: Goemon!"

Jiraiya spewed out a sky full of scorching toad oil, Fukasaku spewed out a raging wind, and Shima spewed out a blazing fire!

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire was fueled by the oil!

The three elements, combined with Sage Chakra, transformed into a terrifying sea of ​​fire, capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, with a temperature reaching thousands of degrees, which swept outwards in a fan shape towards the entire laboratory!

"This is troublesome; the lab will be damaged."

Yue muttered to herself.

While ordinary gravitational and repulsive forces could be blocked, the terrifying high-temperature radiation and chakra aftershocks would still melt Orochimaru and Sasori's precious and precise experimental instruments into a pile of scrap metal.

We can't block it head-on; we can only move it.

"Try the latest 'software' and see how it performs."

The moon took a deep breath, without calling upon the light to connect.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his mind began to frantically generate ideas at an excessive speed.

In just a moment, streams of Yin Release chakra, belonging to extremely high purity spiritual power, precisely constructed an incredibly complex "space distortion formula" in his optic nerve circuit!

Yue suddenly opened her eyes, and the edges of the original starry dice pattern were strangely twisted into a phantom resembling a windmill shuriken!

"Divine power!"

"Buzz—!!!"
