Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Page 21

Especially for the four people involved in the Valley of the End incident, such as Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, their feelings about these words were clearly more profound.

How tragic and painful it is to wield a butcher's knife against a close friend who shares the same desires.

But they had no other choice.

At this moment, Uehara Shinmei and Jiraiya are facing the same choice again.

Will you abandon your own ninja way and place all your bets on someone else, or will you stubbornly stick to your own opinion and ultimately decide right and wrong with a blade?

Either way, it is extremely cruel to the person involved.

Just like last time, Jiraiya left without saying a word, his face extremely pale, and he didn't even hear Tsunade calling after him.

Jiraiya the Primordial (the spirit):

"So that's how it is. This kind of decision is really too difficult and cruel. But it seems that you made the right choice in the end. You are indeed much better than me."

Jiraiya: "Actually, it's not that difficult. I can't find the path to peace myself, but I want to achieve peace."

When you discover that someone else might be able to do it, what can you do besides believe in them? Even a one percent chance is better than no chance at all.

Original Uchiha Madara (Dead):

"What a brilliant argument, Uehara Siming. You truly understand the realities of this world. Come join me; I am sincerely inviting you."

Original Hashirama Senju (Dead):

"Was it really like this back then? Damn it, why did you suddenly go crazy? It broke my heart for so long."

Original Uchiha Madara (Dead):

"Where am I over there? Why haven't you come out to say anything? Is there something wrong with your plan?"

Uchiha Madara (the undead):

"It's more than just a problem. Don't come to me so easily. I'm afraid Uehara-kun will misunderstand."

???

When I type a question mark, it doesn’t mean that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

Afraid that Uehara Siming will misunderstand? What the heck is this?

In the primordial ninja world, a string of black lines suddenly appeared above Madara Uchiha's head.

However, with someone like Uehara Siming around, it was foreseeable that the plan would not go smoothly, so he didn't think too much about it.

Perhaps the other party is trying to cover up their true feelings; maybe, perhaps, probably?

On the scroll, the video continues.

Tsunade called out several times, but Jiraiya did not respond and continued walking outside on his own.

Sensing something was wrong, she turned back into the room, grabbed Uehara Siming by the back of the neck, and lifted her into the air.

He asked angrily:

"Life is the cheapest thing. Have you ever killed anyone? Do you know what it feels like when someone is facing death?"

"How could a child so young possess such a large demon? Go and bring Jiraiya back to me, and tell him you were just talking nonsense."

She had overheard the entire conversation between the two of them.

Although he usually appears energetic and seemingly clueless.

But as the future Fifth Hokage, Tsunade was by no means stupid.

Knowing just how much of a blow these words would be to Jiraiya, he was now burning with rage.

Of the three legendary ninjas, the other two had their own pursuits, but Kurenai didn't have any great ambitions; she was just the most sentimental.

Even though Jiraiya often played the role of punching bag, to the point that he got used to being beaten up, it was still proof of the deep bond between the three of them.

Similarly, he had developed a considerable fondness for this little brat who dared to covet him at such a young age.

It's not between men and women, but purely an elder's appreciation for a younger person.

A child who is good-looking, smart, articulate, and gifted will generally be liked by everyone.

Moreover, someone had put in a lot of effort to make things easier for the future.

He displayed extraordinary culinary skills, specially learned winemaking, and "invented" several advanced gambling methods that transcended their time.

Countless examples like these exist, all aimed at continuously increasing the pressure on the final push.

More than two years,

To Tsunade, that certain treacherous dog had become family, second only to her younger brother Nawaki.

Even if we take a step back, Uehara Shinmei is still the husband that his younger sister Kushina has chosen, and they have an unbreakable connection.

She couldn't imagine how she would cope if the two of them had a falling out, especially one that was irreparable.

Tsunade was barely suppressing the intense urge to smash Uehara Shimei to pieces as she spoke.

However, Uehara Siming's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

He simply said:

"If Jiraiya comes back, he will either kill me beforehand or completely accept me."

"You... I don't care anymore. Go ahead and die if you want. I don't care about you. Only an idiot would care about you."

Tsunade's face showed a look of surprise at just the right moment.

Not just her, but anyone else probably couldn't have imagined it.

Uehara Shinmei's words just now were actually spoken with a determination to die.

After all, no matter how intelligent she is, she is still too young.

Many things cannot be truly understood without personal experience.

Especially when faced with a life-or-death decision, even some veteran ninjas cannot be so nonchalant.

Tsunade originally intended to forcefully suppress Uehara Shimei, that brat, and mend the rift between the two.

My heart skipped a beat in an instant.

She casually tossed Shangyuan Siming aside, then stomped on the bathtub in front of her, turning the entire room floor into a large crater, before turning and disappearing.

PS: Author's Note

Writing "Original Ninja World XXX" repeatedly with such a long prefix is uncomfortable to read and makes it seem like padding the word count.

If no prefix is used, it will be the current ninja world. The original ninja world will only have the word "original" as a label.

For example:

Jiraiya of the Ninja World? Jiraiya.

Jiraiya of the original ninja world? Jiraiya of the original world.

Chapter 22 The Different Names of the Three Ninja

Not long after Tsunade left,

A snake-man with long, flowing black hair and skin so white it was almost eerie, slowly emerged from the shadows with a burning gaze.

It is none other than our core technology, Mr. Orochimaru.

"Uehara-kun, you've guessed wrong this time. Even if Jiraiya doesn't agree with you, he won't kill you. Instead, he'll choose to have a fair fight with you."

He might even offer you some help; that's just his conflicted and hesitant personality.

However, I'm surprisingly interested in you. If you don't want to become Jiraiya's apprentice, then come to me.

Everything you want, I have here; what you don't want, I won't give you either.

Orochimaru licked his chin in circles with his long tongue.

His intense gaze, twisted expression, and eerie posture made him seem almost ready to devour anyone he encountered.

But Uehara Siming didn't take it to heart and instead smiled faintly.

For him, all three Sannin were targets; it didn't matter who he joined, what mattered was how to build and deepen their bonds.

Jiraiya was already absolutely certain of victory.

For the past two years, Jiraiya had been observing him, but he had also been strengthening Jiraiya's resolve.

Those debates were not the end, nor even the beginning of the end, but rather the end of the beginning.

We won this war from the very beginning.

Tsunade, however, cannot rush things. Doing too many unnecessary things before her body grows up will not only be ineffective, but will also annoy people.

Having understood the other person's personality, he also had a general plan.

Now, all that's missing is Orochimaru.

Uehara Tsukasa gently shook his head and said:

"Uncle Snake, I will not become your disciple. If possible, let's be fellow Daoists."

Although truth is often held by a minority.

But the pursuit of truth, if one always walks alone, can sometimes be too lonely, can't it?

Fellow?

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback, not expecting to hear such a novel term.

He smacked his lips, pondered for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Far from being angry that Uehara Siming had placed him on an equal footing, she was genuinely pleased.

That's right, it's you, fellow Daoist!

Friends who seek the Way.
