Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Holding him in one hand as if he was holding a chick, Yang Xi turned his head and looked in the direction of Jiraiya and the others.

"It was so fast that I couldn't see how he appeared. How can he be so strong?" Sasuke whispered to himself with his Sharingan open.

"...He is just an ordinary ninja." said Kabuto Yakushi.

"..."

Chapter 115: Life and Death

"Naruto!"

In less than two seconds, from the time Hinata Yangxi appeared to the time he seriously injured Naruto and held him in his hands.

Jiraiya saw these scenes clearly out of the corner of his eye.

How come he looks stronger than last time? Jiraiya wondered in his heart.

He was thinking distractedly in his mind.

Ever since that rapid progress, Mao Yue Xi Yan's strength has become stable.

Tsunade's awakening of Wood Release should also be considered a breakthrough.

How come this Hinata Yangxi breaks the limit so many times?

Yang Xi made eye contact with Xi Yan and her clones.

Xiyan suddenly had an idea, and she and her shadow clones made way for her at the same time.

Yang Xi's figure was so fast that he even created a whirlwind.

He kicked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After knocking down more than a dozen trees, Sarutobi Hiruzen's body finally stopped after sliding on the ground for a distance.

The golden cudgel slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground. Sarutobi Hiruzen dragged long traces and bloodstains on the ground like a mop.

"It's really hard to control!" Yang Xi sighed in his heart.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not faint on the spot, but fell to the ground and kept coughing.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Yang Xi standing beside him, and his heart suddenly sank.

Naruto was thrown aside. Yang Xi squatted on the ground and twisted Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands out of position to prevent him from forming seals, and then pressed his acupoints.

During the whole process, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not utter a word.

He climbed up, sat on the ground, and leaned his back against a big tree. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a little bit, and looked very decadent.

Seeing this process, Sasuke suddenly became a little uneasy, "Let's go quickly."

"Look at those eyes. Do you think we have this chance now?" Pharmacist Dou said dimly.

Sasuke glanced at Yang Xi's white eyes and was speechless for a moment.

"Kabuto, do you know more about him?" Sasuke asked.

"From the information I have collected, he used to be Itachi Uchiha's teammate, and now he is only a Chunin. As for the rest, I don't know..." said Kabuto Yakushi.

"Itachi Uchiha's teammates..." Sasuke murmured, lost in thought.

Xi Yan silently put away her sword, instantly appeared beside Yang Xi, and picked up Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Naruto together.

As for her shadow clones, they still maintained their position surrounding Jiraiya.

Glancing at where Sasuke and the other two were, Yang Xi retracted his gaze, "Senior Jiraiya, I have been hesitating about how to deal with you, should I turn a blind eye or kill you directly…"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a finger snap, and Kaguya said, "It's time."

Yang Xi instantly felt that the vast chakra completely disappeared from his body.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "Kaguya, you are really strict. If you say 20 seconds, it means 20 seconds."

"This is for your own good. Don't you want to not always rely on me?" Kaguya responded calmly.

After collecting his thoughts, Yang Xi looked at Jiraiya again, with a hint of teasing in his words, "Senior Jiraiya, why don't you make the decision for me, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Naruto, who do you want to keep alive?"

Jiraiya looked at him deeply but said nothing.

"If you want to kill, just kill him directly. Why go through so much trouble?" Xiyan interjected.

"..." Yang Xi was speechless.

Even if Naruto is killed, so what? His real father is in charge of the Pure Land.

Even if he was killed, the Six Paths Sage would upgrade him and then send him back, which would be in vain.

"You two demons, don't even think about it..." Naruto stood up suddenly, gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to do something.

"Bang~" Xi Yan held the hilt of the sword and pushed hard on his forehead. Naruto was forced to retreat repeatedly, and an obvious mark appeared on his forehead.

"Senior Jiraiya, what are you still hesitating about? Are you waiting for reverse summoning to bring Uzumaki Naruto back?"

"That would be like giving up Sarutobi Hiruzen's life. How many years have you and Uzumaki Naruto been together? How many years have you known the Third Hokage?"

"Is the relationship between you and him not as strong as that between a mere Uzumaki Naruto? Are you willing to see his death?"

Seeing that Jiraiya remained silent for a long time, Yang Xi spoke again.

"or……"

He turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had a gloomy face and Uzumaki Naruto who had a face full of hatred and anger, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Third Hokage, are you willing to give your life for Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Uzumaki Naruto, are you willing to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the life of the Third Hokage?"

Naruto suddenly became a little quiet, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, as if he was considering whether to exchange his life for Sarutobi Hiruzen's life.

And the most crucial character, Jiraiya, still didn't speak.

I don’t know whether he couldn’t make a decision or he didn’t believe Yang Xi would let him go.

"Jiraiya, take Naruto and leave." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a low voice, "I don't have many years left to live, and Naruto still has a bright future."

Living with a humiliating identity would only make his life worse than death.

The looks of the people of Konoha pierced his heart deeply, making him feel that he had become a joke.

"Grandpa Sandaime, no!" Naruto kept shaking his head, tears in his eyes, "Let's leave together."

"Naruto, I actually lied to you about many things..." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a loving and guilty expression on his face, "I should have told you about your life story a long time ago..."

"It's really touching." Pharmacist Kabuto, who was hiding nearby, said suddenly with a standard fake smile on his face.

"Kabuto, what level of strength is Orochimaru?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Orochimaru was once one of the three ninjas."

"Sannin? That person is also one of the Sannin, but he and the Third Hokage together can't beat that woman?" Sasuke pointed in the direction of Jiraiya.

"Yes." Yakushi Kabuto said casually, "The last of the three ninjas is Princess Tsunade who will soon become the Fifth Hokage."

"What exactly are the standards for the Three Ninjas? Why do their strength levels seem so uneven?" Sasuke couldn't help but complain.

He didn't know how strong Tsunade and Orochimaru were, but in his opinion, Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance in a two-on-one situation was not outstanding.

Pharmacist Kabuto nodded calmly.

"I originally wanted to ask Jiraiya-senpai to take you to meet Lord Orochimaru."

"he?"

Kabuto Yakushi: "Because he also has an appointment with Lord Orochimaru."

Sarutobi Hiruzen kept talking about the past and his expectations for Naruto's future, and Naruto was moved to tears.

Yang Xi was a little confused. Was he really going to die, or was he using a self-torture tactic?

Jiraiya felt a lump in his stomach and opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

"Jiraiya-senpai, make your choice, or they will both die together."

Yang Xi sneered in his heart.

Make your choice. You want to be a savior, so first experience the feeling of being deserted by your friends and losing important people!

"If I die, will you really let Naruto go?" After finishing chatting with Naruto, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Yang Xi and asked seriously.

At this moment, he seemed to have regained the dignity of being a Hokage.

"Third Hokage, it's not that I will let them go if you die. It's that if you die, they can leave with peace of mind. In fact, you are just a burden."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little sad in his heart, but his expression was calm.

"Bring the kunai. I'll do it myself."

He slowly raised his arms, but the bones at his wrists were dislocated, so his hands were unable to move and remained hanging down.

"I'm sorry, but prisoners are not eligible to negotiate. Your decision doesn't count. Only Jiraiya can do it," Yang Xi said calmly.

Chapter 116

Hearing Yang Xi's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Since he couldn't make a decision, why did he ask this just now?

Just to see the tug of war between himself, Naruto and Jiraiya?

Is it just to make everyone mean, embarrassed and ugly?

Are human life, death, just a joke in their minds?

I am the Hokage, how can I be so unbearable?

Oh, what’s the harm in dying?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said loudly, "Jiraiya, your ideals are correct."

He had already made up his mind to die, and now he just wanted to make Jiraiya and Naruto feel better.

However, the more he did this, the more painful Jiraiya felt.

If only Sarutobi Hiruzen could behave a little more despicably, Jiraiya could convince himself to choose Naruto.

But he was so calm and righteous that Jiraiya's conscience was tormented.

At this moment, Jiraiya lowered his head guiltily and thought a lot.

With elders above and children below, should we fulfill our filial piety first or our responsibilities first?

Is it true that it is always so difficult for people who pursue something?

He looked at Uzuki Yugao and Hyuga Haruki.

Especially Hinata Yangxi, even though his smile was very restrained, Jiraiya could still see from his eyes that he was watching a show.

Why can they be so reckless and treat human life as a joke, while I have to struggle with all kinds of rules?

Why do good people have to be tortured again and again?

I clearly want to save more people, but why do I always lose...

At this moment, Naruto suddenly hugged Sarutobi Hiruzen tightly.

He thought that if he did this, he could also communicate with the spirit world through his grandfather for three generations.

Toad Immortal, you all saw it.

Come on, take me and my third-generation grandfather back to Myōboku-san!

Use your psychic powers now...

Meeting Naruto's eyes, Jiraiya inexplicably understood his train of thought.

However, he kept shaking his head in his heart and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Naruto, this is impossible...

Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to push Naruto away, "Naruto, don't do this. People always have to part ways..."

Yang Xi clicked his tongue a few times.
