Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 181 The Deaths of Tsunade and Jiraiya
Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled Itachi Uchiha from back then. At that time, in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, apart from Itachi, no one suspected that Uchiha Kazuto had any problems. He was filled with regret. If he had listened to Itachi back then, would the outcome be different now?
Jiraiya and Tsunade wouldn't be like this now, and the ninja world wouldn't be so unfamiliar. Unfortunately, back then, no one believed Uchiha Itachi. Apart from Uchiha Kazuto's impeccable performance, it was also because Uchiha Itachi was Uchiha Fugaku's son, the son of a traitor.

He suspected that framing Uchiha Kazuto was a ploy to quell the rebellion for his father. After all, if everything Uchiha Kazuto did was part of his scheme, then Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't be a traitor, but rather someone framed by Uchiha Kazuto.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was unable to reverse time and go to the distant past to kill Kazuto Uchiha.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed from Tsunade's body, her heart stopped beating, her brain ceased to function, and her life force visibly diminished. At the same time, Jiraiya's heart also stopped beating, and he passed away silently.

They are dead.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya!"

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in alarm and immediately tried to save them, reviving Tsunade and Jiraiya, who had lost all will to live and were in despair to the extreme. If they had the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, they could have directly activated the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Stop, Hiruzen! Let them die!"

However, Tobirama Senju stepped forward, lowered his head, and stopped Hiruzen Sarutobi with a deep expression.

"Teacher...why?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked puzzled. He wasn't dead yet; he could be brought back to life with a little help.

"Yes, brother, why is that?"

Hashirama Senju stepped forward, equally puzzled.

"There's no need for that anymore, brother. Hiruzen, continuing to live is the ultimate torture for them. I can see it, and I'm sure you can too. Tsunade and Jiraiya are disappointed in us, despair of this world, and have lost their dream of living. Now, let them die. If we can kill Uchiha and bring peace back to this world, that will be the time to revive them!"

Tobirama Senju shook his head, stepped forward, cut off living tissue from Tsunade and Jiraiya, and handed it to Orochimaru to preserve.

Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's words, Tsunade and Jiraiya's fading consciousnesses breathed a sigh of relief and passed away peacefully.

They no longer wanted to live. In this world where there was no hope, every second of life was torture.

Especially Jiraiya, whose treasure is long gone and who has become a saint free from all harm. Perhaps, when he is resurrected, he will be able to bring his treasure back.

He didn't die last time, he was saved by that damn Orochimaru, but this time, he finally got his wish. Goodbye, world, I'm going to die!
I hope there are no Uchiha or Tobi in the Pure Land.

Silence fell in the laboratory shortly afterward as the group stared at the corpses of Tsunade and Jiraiya.

He then hastily found a place to bury her. "Second Generation Lord, the current Pure Land... perhaps we..."

Orochimaru and Tobirama Senju stood together, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"No, Orochimaru, the Pure Land is too mysterious. I don't think Uchiha Kazuto has the ability to control the Pure Land. Let's try the Impure World Reincarnation now."

Tobirama Senju shook his head. Soon after, with the casting of a spell, a dead person was summoned and then released.

"You see, Uchiha Kazuto's power is limited. He cannot interfere with the Pure Land forever. Unfortunately, even so, the perfect resurrection technique has been completely ruined."

Tobirama Senju said to Orochimaru beside him.

"However, it's perfectly fine for small-scale resurrection."

Soon after, the group left Orochimaru's laboratory and traveled overnight, leaving the area of ​​the ninja world continent and entering the sea.

Orochimaru always believed that only by living could there be hope and a future. Temporary failure was nothing. As long as he could continue to live, he could see that distant, dreamlike future. He waited and lay in wait, just like Uchiha Tou had done back then.

From the very beginning, Orochimaru has been on the run. He is either on the run or preparing to run away. Up to now, Orochimaru has not even seen the real Uchiha Kazuto, only his shadow clones.

But he was lucky; at least he survived and retained some of his freedom. Sometimes, Orochimaru would wonder if he was being too pathetic, like a dog. But after thinking about it, he felt he hadn't done anything wrong. Faced with an invincible enemy, what other choice did he have but to run away?
"There is no hope in the future."

On the ocean, everyone sat on a wooden boat handcrafted by Hashirama Senju. Orochimaru looked up at the sky with a helpless and desperate expression, sighing in his heart. Although he knew that only by living could there be a future, he really couldn't see any hope. He had no idea how to win. All he saw was endless despair and a bleak future.

How exactly can we defeat Uchiha Kazuto? Plan after plan, failure after failure. This plan was the closest to success, yet it was still trampled on by Uchiha Kazuto like trash, as if their plan was nothing more than a joke, never taken seriously by Uchiha Kazuto.

"How could such a monster appear in the ninja world?!"

Orochimaru thought to himself, feeling utterly helpless.

Just then, a white figure ran onto the ship from not far away. It was the White Snake Immortal who had fled when he saw the situation was not good. He had just gone through a great battle and was almost dead, with only a slug left.

After discovering it was the White Snake Sage, Orochimaru didn't care anymore. He didn't even have the thought of condemning the White Snake Sage for running away, since he had run away too.

As for Sage Mode? In the past, he would have been very interested in such things and treasured this extraordinary technology. But now, the Land of Fire has already popularized Sage Mode, and any ninja world can use it. White Snake Sage, your technology is outdated by countless generations.

Furthermore, even if they possessed Sage Mode, so what? Could they defeat Uchiha Kazuto with Sage Mode?
