Chapter 274: Long Time No See, Jiraiya
Chapter 274: Long Time No See, Jiraiya
"Hokage, are you serious?"
No longer able to worry about the Jinchuriki of Four-Tails and Five-tails, Tsunade's words made Danzo's pupils constrict. He leaned forward, his hands pressing against the table, as he stared intently at Tsunade.
"This is the will of the Great Toad Sage," Tsunade said solemnly. "I also wish it weren't true. But based on the current intelligence, everything is heading towards the worst-case scenario."
"The will of the Great Toad Sage."
Danzo slowly sat back down, his expression grave.
While the younger generation might not have much impression of the Great Toad Sage, Danzo, who had lived for seven to eighty years, was well aware of the power of Myobokuzan, one of the three great dojos.
Especially the leader of Myobokuzan, who had lived for a millennium, bearing witness to the development of the ninja world. The Great Toad Sage, rumored to be able to see into the future with his eyes, was like a living embodiment of the "Sage of the Six Paths."
Danzo naturally chose to believe in the words left by such a being.
But it was unbelievable that Huyi Xuan Yue had killed the Great Toad Sage.
Even knowing Huyi Xuan Yue's strength during the Warring States period, Danzo still found it inconceivable.
At this moment, E also voiced his agreement loudly: "One-Tail, Two-Tails, and Eight-Tails were captured on the same day. Members of the Akatsuki were at the scene, as well as Huyi Xuan Yue's subordinate, Uchiha Sasuke. And let's not forget Nine-Tails, which Huyi Xuan Yue tried to capture personally but failed. There's no need for further analysis; Huyi Xuan Yue is the mastermind behind all of this."
With the Fifth Kazekage captured, Chiyo, the temporary replacement elder of Sunagakure, had a dim look in her eyes as she heard this.
'Gaara.'
If the opponent was the Akatsuki, the Sunagakure ninjas might still have a chance to rescue their Kazekage.
But now, it seemed that Huyi Xuan Yue had already gained control of the Akatsuki.
The true culprit behind the scenes was Huyi Xuan Yue, who had single-handedly destroyed Myobokuzan.
Chiyo knew that Gaara's chances of survival were slim to none.
This was also the reason why Tsunade didn't continue to send Team 7 and Team 10 for support.
On the other hand, as Tsunade explained and answered their questions, a realization slowly dawned on Uzumaki Katumi, and she suddenly asked: "What exactly is the Ten-Tails? And who is this Chakra Ancestor? Is it the Sage of Six Paths?"
Aside from Tsunade, who had learned about it beforehand, none of those present had heard of the Ten-Tails or the Chakra Ancestor until now.
Tsunade explained, "According to the will of the Great Toad Sage, the Ten-Tails is the true form that emerges when the nine Tailed Beasts fuse. It is an existence capable of destroying planets. As for the Chakra Ancestor, the Great Toad Sage didn't elaborate, only describing it with one sentence: 'The day it descends upon the Ninja World will be the day of its destruction.'"
Uzumaki Katumi's face turned grim after hearing this.
Not just her, but everyone else was filled with heaviness and anxiety.
Huyi Xuan Yue, Akatsuki, Uchiha, Huyi, Ten-Tails, Chakra Ancestor—just thinking about facing so many formidable foes filled them with dread.
Could they really win?
Tsunade saw their hesitation and resolutely proposed the plan for Impure World Reincarnation.
As she had anticipated, many rejected the idea without a second thought.
"Disturbing the peace of our ancestors and making the dead fight for us is a disgrace to all ninjas of this era!" E, who had previously sided with Tsunade, slammed his right fist on the desk in front of him and vetoed with an uncompromising tone.
"The Impure World Reincarnation is an evil technique that should never have been created," Uzumaki Katumi added, furrowing her brows.
"What if Orochimaru, that traitor, betrays us after we bring him back?" Danzo considered the deeper implications.
He had lived long enough that even if the past Iwagakure ninjas were reincarnated, most of them would still be his juniors. He didn't feel like he was desecrating his predecessors.
Jiraiya pulled his right hand back, and to the astonishment and vigilance of the ANBU ninjas in the room, a white phosphorous snake slowly slithered out from the cursed seal on Konohamaru's neck.
Once the entire snake had emerged, it raised its head vertically. Its cold and ruthless golden vertical pupils first glanced at the nearby Jiraiya and then swept across the surrounding ANBU ninjas.
When its gaze turned to Konohamaru, a hint of realization flashed in its vertical pupils. Without further delay, it swiftly moved to the criminal's side and forcibly entered the criminal's mouth.
Soon, the criminal stood up. Visible to the naked eye, his body, appearance, and even his clothing underwent drastic changes.
After a few breaths, as the ANBU ninjas instinctively assumed combat stances...
The transformation completed. Orochimaru, with his pale skin, black hair, cyan-blue magatama earrings, and a rope tied behind his waist, fixed his golden vertical pupils on the nearby Jiraiya. He licked his long tongue across his lips and spoke in his distinctive hoarse voice, "Long time no see, Jiraiya."
