I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Aside from their shared Rinnegan, these guys seemed to have their ages frozen on their faces, looking almost exactly the same as when I first met them!

However, more than a decade has passed since then, and I have gone from my prime as an adult to a gradually greasy middle age.

Time can never be frozen.

If these five people didn't all use a special secret technique like Tsunade to preserve their youth, then there might only be one left:

They preserved their appearance before they died!

This speculation greatly shocked Jiraiya, because it would mean that his former student, Yahiko, might also be... dead.

Jiraiya's gaze once again fell upon the tall, slender young man in his field of vision. From the very first glance after their reunion, he sensed something was amiss; the other man's appearance was far too youthful, like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.

However, based on Yahiko's actual age, more than ten years is enough for him to reach the mature stage of thirty.

However, at that time, he was so immersed in the joy of the reunion and the shock of the Rinnegan that he did not delve into this point.

Now, upon closer examination and speculation, the sorrow in Yu Zhi's eyes becomes even more pronounced.

"Kyuubi?"

The highly targeted pronoun brought Huang back to his senses after a brief period of silence.

The moment he looked up, the atmosphere around him instantly became unsettled.

Pain, the Six Paths of Pain, unintentionally adopted a posture of preparing for battle!

But Huang was completely unconcerned about the hostility surrounding him.

"Oh, that boring thing, go ahead and catch it if you want."

He said it casually, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.

He did not treat the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as his prey just because he had fought him first. After all, he did not come here today to find Konoha, the Nine-Tails, or the Akatsuki.

He simply wanted to settle scores with Itachi Uchiha, the traitor to his clan.

Now, the main objective of my trip has been achieved.

As for the Nine-Tailed Fox, it was nothing more than a small beast like livestock, and he really didn't think much of it.

Moreover, it has even more important tasks to complete.

Ara's answer not only caused Pain's expression to change slightly, but Jiraiya and the toads of Mount Myōboku also had the same attitude.

Especially for the latter, it's like being beaten up, only to find that the other party didn't care about them at all.

"but,"

However, just as Huang's casual words were finished, his tone suddenly changed, becoming serious and cold.

"You can make a scene all you want,"

"Don't cause trouble on the site of my clan's ancient territory."

As they spoke, a spatial teleportation spell, rotating in black and white, suddenly covered the entire lake surface.

Concentrate again, and the light and shadow have changed.

All outsiders, including Pain and the giant toads of Mount Myōboku, were transferred to the flattened wasteland of Konoha.

Chapter 743 reveals the spatial coordinates of the three holy lands!

"Jiraiya?"

"Naruto!"

“Pein!!”

Tsunade's voice underwent several shifts in a short breath, from surprise to hope, and finally to hatred!

It was those bastards in black and red trench coats who made such a mess of Konoha!!

Unforgivable,

Unforgivable!

In an instant, Tsunade moved to the forefront of the battle line and threw a punch at Pain, who had reappeared in her sight!

She is the current Hokage of this village, yet she can only watch helplessly as invaders wreak havoc on Konoha.

How can such deep-seated hatred be forgiven?

How can the anger that has been building up in one's chest be released?

However, this vengeful punch, which gathered all his strength, failed to erupt with a resounding impact.

Enraged, the little princess of the Senju lineage forgot the information she had painstakingly gathered about her opponent. An unseen force quietly erupted just as Tsunade was about to get close, blasting her away!

[Secret Technique: Shinra Tensei!]

"Boom!!"

The clash and confrontation here was but a fleeting moment, like the blink of an eye.

With renewed focus, Tsunade crashed into a jagged boulder. The force of the impact caused her to cough up blood, and her life force began to escape from her body.

All of this happened so suddenly.

Even Naruto and Jiraiya were not fully aware of what had happened!

Previously, the only news they had received was that the liaison frog from Mount Myōboku, which was staying in Konoha, had suddenly died.

After the hasty relocation, it was initially thought that Uchiha Ara was responsible for all this disaster, but now it seems that things are not so simple.

"What exactly is this...?"

Jiraiya's expression fluctuated violently. On one side was his former student, and on the other was his most important friend, but now it seemed that there was an insurmountable deep hatred between them!

Connecting this with what the other party had previously said—that 'Konoha, as the party involved, knows best'—a terrifying deduction began to take shape in his mind.

"Grandma Tsunade!"

Seeing Princess Senju being violently repelled by an invisible force and coughing up blood from the impact, Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened in fury. He hastily moved to her side and then carefully and slowly moved her out of the shattered rocks, his cautious and slow movements fearing that he might cause her further harm.

However, although the little nine-tailed fox was careful to restrain its actions, its heart was already churning like a vast ocean.

"what happened?"

"Where is this place?"

"Grandma Tsunade, what are you doing here?"

A barrage of questions poured from Naruto's mouth, his sharp eyes flashing with a rapidly shifting intensity, like some ferocious beast about to be unleashed once more!

However, how could Tsunade calmly answer these questions as usual at this moment?

First, he mobilized all the power in his body to activate the slug to protect the entire Konoha. Then, he was caught off guard and received a full-force attack from Pain, who had no reservations. He was already at his limit.

The fact that it was still able to maintain a sliver of consciousness was entirely due to the overwhelming strength of the Senju lineage's bloodline, as well as the slug that had moved over on its own, which was also working hard to heal its psychic.

Even so, looking at the little nine-tailed fox guarding her side, she still managed to force a faint, bleak smile from the corner of her mouth.

"Naruto...you're back."

Tsunade's voice was unusually weak, completely lacking its usual sharp and loud quality.

She tried to raise her hand, which was hanging by her side, as if to touch whether the boy beside her had really returned, but her arm, which was turning into an old, withered tree at a visible speed, fell back to the ground the moment she raised it.

And it wasn't just her arms; her plump figure also withered away in an instant, and her still-charming face lost its captivating beauty at that moment.

The loss of strength and life made it impossible to maintain even the most basic secrets to preserving youth.

"Grandma Tsunade!"

Seeing the Fifth Hokage undergo such a dramatic transformation, Kurama's emotions immediately became uncontrollable.

And his sensitive nerves picked up on a particularly impactful word from the other person's mouth:

come back.

Could it be that

Could this desolate, chaotic wasteland, resembling a battlefield, be...?

"Naruto!!"

Just as he was about to reveal the terrifying speculation in his heart,

A familiar voice rang out from not far away, making his heart clench, because the other person's call was filled with an almost desperate sob.

【cherry.】

Naruto Uzumaki immediately looked toward the source of the sound.

A girl with short, cherry-pink hair stood at the far end of the field of vision.

The disheveled state of her clothes and the smugness on her face revealed the fear and despair she had endured.

But this still isn't what worries him the most.

"Naruto, the Akatsuki have destroyed Konoha!"

The sudden news confirmed the outcome he had been hesitant to speculate about, and a surge of anger welled up in Naruto's heart.

The hatred and anger that had subsided due to the suppression by magic reappeared at this moment!

"Pain!"

An indescribable, beast-like roar burst from its throat, and then, eight orange fox tails instantly swelled up from behind it, one more than before!

Seeing this power, the Heavenly Dao showed no sign of fear.

On the contrary, this is the prey he is hunting on this trip!

Without much thought, the Asura Path, skilled in offense, and the Preta Path, capable of sealing chakra energy, charged straight at them.

The Animal Realm, the Human Realm, and the Hell Realm remained in their original places, wary of Uchiha Ara who was about to transfer them all here.

Even though the latter has clearly stated that it is not interested in the Nine-Tails.

A person's name, a tree's shadow—how can the intimidation they bring be easily eliminated?

For a time, apart from Ara, who was still silently pondering something, only Jiraiya, who was still incredulous about the situation, remained inactive.

Konoha was accused of being the mastermind behind the death of its own student.
