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

"Why is it you again, you brat? And Gamabunta, what are you doing here too?" Gamabunta, who was enjoying a peaceful life like a god after waking up and smoking a cigarette, said with a slightly annoyed tone.

"Hey, Dad," Gamakichi, perched on Bunta's head, greeted him.

"Boss Toad!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, about to gesticulate wildly.

Jiraiya, who had finally turned around, said in the most concise tone, "Gamabunta, go to Tsunade! She needs your help!"

Compared to Naruto, who is a brat, Gamabunta is more familiar with and has a better understanding with Jiraiya.

"I smell a stinky snake."

Without delay, after Shizune came up as well, Gamabunta's massive body suddenly leaped, covering over a hundred meters in one bound and jumping into the distance.

"We can't let you succeed."

In a few flashes, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who had retreated rapidly, formed hand seals.

"Earth Release: Earth Core Movement!"

Rumble!

The ground shook violently.

Just as Gamabunta, who had landed again, was about to leap up once more, a giant clod of earth suddenly rose rapidly in front of him.

With a "thud," Gamabunta bumped right into it.

This is just the beginning.

In the following time, under Yu Yi Xuan Yue's technique, the land in this area was transformed into squares, rising and sinking without any discernible pattern.

While creating numerous obstacles, it doesn't give the three toad brothers any chance to exert force and jump.

"Hey, Toad Boss, slow down!" Naruto, who was dodging left and right, almost got thrown away if Shizune hadn't caught him in time, hurriedly reminded him.

Gamabunta drew his short sword and cleaved the stone wall that was crashing into him in two. He replied impatiently, "Are you telling me to slow down now because you want everyone to turn into sandwich fillings?"

Not far away, Jiraiya noticed this scene and frowned. He instinctively wanted to use a long-range ninjutsu on Hagoromo Gengetsu to interrupt her technique.

But after a moment's thought that the other party knew Netherworld Escape, he felt somewhat annoyed that he had been too lax in his cultivation of immortal arts, so he still rushed forward himself.

Unlike large summoned beasts, Hagoromo Gengetsu noticed Jiraiya's agility and quickness amidst the earth's core tremors and his imminent approach. While maintaining his own technique, he glanced at the two large swords in Gamabunta's hands.

Clang!

next second.

A massive, icy blade descended from the sky, slashing towards Jiraiya.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 41 The Art of Spirit Transformation Acquired

"My knife!"

While dodging the nuclear tremor of the earth, Gamabunta was caught off guard, and the two ninja swords in his hands seemed to have a mind of their own, flying out of his hands and slashing towards Jiraiya with a clear purpose.

"Jiraiya, be careful!" Gamahiro quickly warned.

Jiraiya raised his head, his pupils reflecting the two ninja swords that were much larger than himself.

"Magnetic Escape."

Stab! Stab!

Like a knife cutting through tofu, the tips of two giant ninja swords plunged several meters into the ground.

Just as Jiraiya, who had narrowly dodged the attack, was about to pass by, two giant ninja swords rose rapidly with a long cry and slashed at Jiraiya again like swimming dragons.

When Gamabunta arrived and firmly held down his weapon, Jiraiya, no longer hindered, continued his search for Hagoromo Gengetsu, only to find that the other party had already disappeared into the maze-like earth core.

Hagoromo Gengetsu's goal was never to defeat Jiraiya, but to obtain the Spirit Transformation Technique.

Throughout the entire series, he and Jiraiya only truly clashed a handful of times, in order to conserve his greater strength to stop everyone else.

Like now.

With Hagoromo Gengetsu deliberately blocking Jiraiya's way, even if Gamabunta and the others were able to overcome his obstruction, it would still take them quite a while.

But what we lack most right now is time.

"Time is running out. If we don't make a decision soon, Tsunade will be in danger. Oh, she's already in great danger."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's voice reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity.

"Let me show you the live situation."

"Water Release: Mirror of Reflection!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant water mirror condensed in mid-air.

Jiraiya and the others looked up and could clearly see Tsunade's reality being displayed on the water mirror.

Before taking action, Yu Yi Xuan Yue specially dispatched a shadow clone to hide near the location where Tsunade and Orochimaru were trading, in order to transmit information back in real time.

As you can see, Tsunade in the mirror looks timid and weak, completely unlike her former heroic self.

The reason for this was that Kabuto Yakushi deliberately splashed his blood on her.

"Who would have thought that the most famous medical ninja in the ninja world would be afraid of blood?"

With a mocking smile on his face, Kabuto launched a ruthless attack on Tsunade, who was unable to retaliate and was in a very sorry state.

If Orochimaru hadn't needed Tsunade to heal his hands, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha would probably have perished here.

"Fight back! Granny Tsunade!"

Naruto hadn't expected the female ninja who had so easily knocked him out with one move to be so fragile. He clenched his fists and, regardless of whether Tsunade could hear him, loudly cheered her on.

“Tsunade.” Jiraiya fell silent.

"Lady Tsunade!!!" Shizune cried out anxiously.

Knowing perfectly well that this was a manifestation of Tsunade's blood phobia, she looked at Kabuto Yakushi with murderous intent, wishing she could go to Tsunade's side immediately.

"Hand over the Spirit Transformation Technique, and I will let you go."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yu Yi Xuan Yue appeared in front of Jing Yin and issued a final ultimatum.

"You should know very well which is more important, the Spirit Transformation Technique or your Lady Tsunade's life."

"You bastard!!!" Naruto's eyes widened as he glared at Yu Yi Xuan Yue.

Even so, he didn't rush in and attack recklessly as he usually did.

Clearly, even someone as intelligent as Naruto understands how dire the current situation is.

Even Naruto was in such a state, so Jiraiya sighed and ultimately didn't say anything more about refusing.

Seeing her master suffering, Shizune didn't delay any longer.

"for you!"

With a "bang," white smoke rose as Jingyin summoned an ancient scroll and tossed it to Yuyi Xuanyue.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue took the scroll with one hand, glanced at its somewhat aged appearance, and felt much more at ease.

In such a short time, it seems unlikely that Shizune would create such a realistic ninjutsu scroll.

as predicted.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue quickly flipped through the scroll and, with his profound knowledge of ninjutsu, confirmed that it was undoubtedly a training scroll for the Spirit Transformation Technique.

"Can you let us leave now?" Shizune asked urgently.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded, stopped her ninjutsu, and, true to her word, stepped aside, gesturing an invitation:

"please."

Jiraiya gave Hagoromo Gengetsu a deep look.

Without causing any further trouble, he quickly gave instructions to the three toad brothers.

Soon, with no more obstacles, the three toad brothers, carrying Jiraiya, Shizune, and Naruto, quickly leaped towards Tsunade.

Staying where she was, watching the enormous figure fly away at high speed, Yu Yi Xuan Yue laughed:

"Thanks, Orochimaru."

He really had to thank Orochimaru. If Orochimaru hadn't threatened Tsunade's life, Shizune wouldn't have obediently handed over the Spirit Transformation Technique scroll.

As for coercion and enticement, Tsunade refused even the condition of reviving her lover and brother, so there was no need to even consider any other conditions.

Furthermore, the strong-willed person would even choose to die together with her, and would never allow her to be used to threaten Shizune.

The reason this was successful.

Besides Orochimaru acting as a black glove to attract hatred, there was also the reason that Tsunade and Shizune were separated.

After sincerely thanking Orochimaru for his selfless dedication, Hagoromo Gengetsu had no interest in watching the Sannin reunite, and was even less interested in finding out if Tsunade had overcome her hemophobia or if Naruto would find a new way to complete the Rasengan.

The east wind is in hand, everything is ready, it's time to go back and complete it all.

"I'm tired of this impure body."

A gentle breeze blew.

Yu Yixuanyue's figure disappeared.

The once bustling battlefield suddenly became deserted.

Valley of Fallen Gods.

Located in the northeast of the Land of Fire, geographically close to the Land of Hot Water.

After leaving Tanzaku Street and getting away from the escalating battle between the three ninjas, Hagoromo Gengetsu headed for the Valley of Fallen Gods at top speed.

The powerful concealment granted by the forbidden technique, Breath of Eternal Sleep, is only applicable in burial grounds.

If it is taken out, it will be impossible to hide.

As a precaution, Yu Yi Xuan Yue did not take her body with her when she left, but buried it safely in the underground of Godfall Valley, just as she had done for decades.

Without any delays, traveling day and night, Yu Yi Xuan Yue quickly returned to Shenyun Valley.

The two magnificent statues have remained unchanged for decades, standing facing each other.
