Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Jiraiya only felt a terrible headache.

the other side.

The troublesome Hagoromo Gengetsu is not currently in Tanabata, but is resting in a nearby city.

Although the Impure World Body doesn't need rest, a good environment can still make him feel much more comfortable.

The previous whirlwind tour left Yu Yi Xuan Yue with an insufficient understanding of the current ninja world.

Taking advantage of this free time, he took a good look around this world, which was very different from the Warring States period he was familiar with.

Seven days later.

Emerging from the cinema, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, having just finished watching a film in the Princess of Wind and Cloud series, remarked with emotion:

"I never imagined that film technology has developed to this extent. Compared to the flops I saw in my previous life, the movie I just watched was quite exciting."

Today's ninja world not only boasts a rich variety of ninjutsu, but also benefits from the convenience and advantages brought by technology.

Compared to the cold and desolate underworld, this wonderful world made him want to stay even more.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue looked up at the blazing sunlight and calculated the time; today was the agreed-upon day.

Orochimaru and Tsunade will be arriving soon, so I certainly can't miss this grand event.

"It's time to get going."

A gentle breeze swept by, and Yu Yixuanyue's figure disappeared in front of the cinema.

Short book street.

It's still that alley where the wall was smashed by the giant snake.

Last night, he deliberately drank with Jiraiya all night, and then, taking advantage of Jiraiya's inattention, he drugged him, causing Tsunade, who had been unconscious, to come to this alley alone and choose to meet Orochimaru.

Almost at the same time.

The two appeared on either side of the alley.

As they drew closer, a hint of doubt flashed in Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils.

"Has Yu Yi Xuan Yue not come?"

It is no coincidence.

Even though she appeared calm, Tsunade glanced around.

After finding no trace of Yu Yi Xuan Yue, her golden eyebrows furrowed slightly.

'Is it only Orochimaru?'

Hagoromo Gengetsu, who was on Orochimaru and Tsunade's radar, did not arrive at this time.

After seeing the bet between Tsunade and Naruto, he clearly realized that Orochimaru's deal had fallen through.

Similarly, his own deal fell through.

Having no interest in getting entangled with the unyielding Tsunade, he decisively set his sights on Shizune.

As for how to do it.

He believed that with Orochimaru posing a threat, Shizune would be eager to come and help Tsunade.

The Konoha ninjas, nurtured by the Will of Fire, all share the belief of never abandoning their comrades.

So, what choices will they make for their companions?

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was very much looking forward to this.

In order not to affect their meeting the next day, Shizune had already been knocked unconscious by Tsunade and slept soundly for the entire night.

If Naruto hadn't been injured while practicing the Rasengan, he would have woken up early due to his physical condition, waking Shizune on the ground, and she would have remained unconscious for even longer.

"Oh no! Lady Tsunade!"

Upon learning of the current time from Naruto, Shizune immediately got up and was about to chase after her beloved Tsunade.

Just then, Jiraiya, who had been awakened by someone and also sensed something was wrong, rushed back. Finding Tsunade missing, he said to Shizune with a serious expression:

"Shizune, what exactly did you say to Orochimaru? It's about time you told me."

Shizune said with a somber expression, "I wanted to believe in Lady Tsunade, so I kept it to myself. But... there's no time! Please come with me, I'll tell you as I run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shine quickly ran outside.

Jiraiya and Naruto followed closely behind.

Midway through, listening to Shizune recount the entire transaction without mentioning that Naruto naturally assumed the answer should be "NO".

Jiraiya's heart gradually sank.

"Napaki. Orochimaru is truly cunning. We must stop Tsunade as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Jiraiya had already prepared for the worst.

But before he could take any action...

The unexpected appearance of the uninvited guest in front of him caused his expression to change drastically.

Chapter 35 Yu Yi Xuan Yue and Naruto's First Meeting

"It's coming."

After waiting for a long time, Yu Yi Xuan Yue raised her cracked face and greeted the three people who came.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Jiraiya, who was speeding along, was the first to stop, and Shizune followed closely behind with a change in expression.

Naruto reacted a beat too slow and continued forward.

If Jiraiya hadn't grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up, he would have almost rushed towards Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Still not understanding what was happening, he felt like Naruto, who was hanging clothes on a clothes rack, waving his arms and shouting in dissatisfaction, "Hey! Perverted Sage, what are you doing?"

Jiraiya's face darkened as he put Naruto down: "At a time like this, you shouldn't be slandering the reputation of the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku."

He glanced at Yu Yi Xuan Yue and added in his mind, "Especially in front of such a famous senior."

"What? He's clearly a perverted sage!" Naruto, now on the ground, emphasized again, puzzled.

Jiraiya ignored this idiot.

His expression turned serious as he looked at Yu Yi Xuan Yue and asked, "I wonder what brings Senior Yu Yi here so suddenly?"

Time was of the essence, and Jiraiya didn't have time for idle chatter with Hagoromo Gengetsu, so he went straight to the point and asked.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue withdrew her gaze from the impetuous Naruto and looked at Jiraiya and Shizune, saying:

"It's simple. Hand over the Spirit Transformation Technique, and my conditions remain unchanged. Or I can come and collect it myself. At that point, things will become much more complicated."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and Shizune's expressions darkened.

Although Naruto couldn't understand what the strange-looking guy who had suddenly appeared in front of him was saying, his keen mind told him that the other party was up to no good.

"Is this another villain like Orochimaru? Whatever you want to do, I will stop you."

Naruto, full of fighting spirit, was about to make his move.

Jiraiya pressed him down again, first glancing at Shizune, then turning to Hagoromo Gengetsu with a solemn expression and saying, "The Spirit Transformation Technique is a Konoha S-rank secret technique, and teaching it to others requires the Hokage's signature. Hagoromo-senpai, if you really need it, you can wait a while."

Just like Tsunade's initial thoughts.

Jiraiya believed that someone like Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had traveled a great distance to ask for a secret technique, must have some important plan.

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

However, this did not prevent him from being extremely wary of the historical figure in front of him who disregarded the boundaries between life and death and forcibly remained in the present world.

"It seems we can't reach an agreement."

Jiraiya's words, meant to fool a three-year-old, would naturally not fool Hagoromo Gengetsu.

He shook his head and said to the three of them, "Tsunade is currently meeting with Orochimaru. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will make their move soon."

"Make a move? Lady Tsunade..." Shizune's eyes lit up, and she said with some surprise.

But before she could speak...

Yu Yi Xuan Yue continued, "However, Tsunade didn't know one thing: Orochimaru had long known that she suffered from hemophobia. Do you think Tsunade could hold on for long under such circumstances?"

It seemed to echo what Yu Yixuanyue had said.

As he finished speaking...

Just then, a loud roar came from afar, and a thick cloud of dust rose slowly.

"Why did you give this answer? Tsunade, you just tried to kill me!"

In a distant alley, Orochimaru, brimming with confidence, was about to offer his arm to Tsunade for treatment when a kunai from Kabuto Yakushi was shot at him at lightning speed.

Orochimaru quickly retreated, not questioning Kabuto Yakushi immediately, but looking at Tsunade in disbelief, not understanding why she would make the decision to betray him.

Tsunade's eyes were red-rimmed.

Although she longed to see her brother and lover again, she understood even more clearly what it meant for them to risk their lives to achieve their dreams, and knew what choice she should make now.

"Things with form will die someday, Orochimaru, you said that. But the dream of becoming Hokage will never disappear!"

Tsunade's eyes sharpened, her fists clenched, and she looked at Orochimaru with murderous intent, saying, "Come on, Orochimaru! I'm going to kill you right here!"

Boom!

A violent explosion was heard.

Orochimaru's expression turned cold as he retreated rapidly.

"Negotiations have completely broken down. Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to use my fists to get back at you, Tsunade."

"Has a fight already broken out?"

"In that case, let's deal with Yu Yi Xuan Yue as quickly as possible."

Jiraiya turned his gaze away from the rising dust in the distance and looked at Hagoromo Gengetsu with unprecedented seriousness. If what the other party said was true, they had to get there as soon as possible for Tsunade's safety.
