Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 297 Deliberate Indulgence

"Why don't you eat? Yang Yi, those giant snakes are hard to control, and it will take a month."

When Tashin-hime and Tsuratsu-hime arrived, they were both puzzled by Uchiha Yoichi's request.

Uchiha Yoichi said, "I will destroy Mount Myōboku in a month. Tell the White Snake Sage about this, and then let all the giant snakes have a good meal."

They schemed against the Hokage and now they think nothing happened? How is that possible? Even if Mount Myōboku helped Konoha in the past, it doesn't matter. Now, Mount Myōboku's only fate is annihilation.

If he acts like nothing happened, wouldn't anyone be able to scheme against him in the future? Konoha is a military organization, not some kind of charity.

Princess Tianxin said in surprise, "We really need to inform the White Snake Sage about the fact that they've made a move against Mount Myōboku."

"Have the White Snake Sage count how many large snakes are capable of fighting, and I will summon them all over in a month."

Uchiha Yoichi said that it is only natural for snakes to eat toads. Instead of taking action to blast Mount Myōboku to the ground, it would be better to let the giant snake of Ryūchi Cave eat the toads of Mount Myōboku.

Recently, the summoning snakes of Ryuchi Cave have been performing well, with sixty or seventy snakes having signed individual summoning contracts with Konoha ninjas and even wearing Konoha headbands.

This is the kind of summoning beast that Konoha needs.

Uchiha Yoichi said, "Please pass on the message."

Princess Tianxin and Princess Tuanjin shook their heads and said, "That's only right. If there's nothing else, we'll head back and tell the White Snake Sage."

"Go."

After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, Tashin-hime and Tsuratsu-hime used ninjutsu to return to Ryuchi Cave.

However, Princess Ichikishima stayed behind, and upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoichi asked, "Is there anything else?"

The blue-haired loli snake floated over to Uchiha Yoichi with a grin, twitched her nose, and then pleaded softly, "Give me a cup of your blood."

"no."

Uchiha Yoichi decisively refused, saying, "You haven't done anything right, how dare you ask me for blood?"

"Who says I didn't contribute anything!"

Princess Ichikishima immediately put her hands on her hips anxiously and said, "I taught Yugito all her Sage Techniques, and there's also the Tailed Beast inside her. Without my guidance, they could never have mastered Sage Techniques so quickly."

"That's certainly thanks to you, but it's not enough. Teach ten more people Sage Mode, and I'll give you a small cup."

"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Upon hearing that she had taught ten people Sage Mode, Princess Ichikishima knew that Uchiha Yoichi absolutely refused to give her blood, and immediately pounced on her, trying to forcibly suck her blood.

However, Princess Ichikishima forgot how tough Uchiha Yoichi's skin was, and since the last time, Uchiha Yoichi has now raised his physical strength to the planetary level, making him even harder than diamond.

Click!

Princess Ichikishima, with her wicked intentions, secretly used chakra, but when she encountered Uchiha Yoichi's resilient and tough skin, even her snake fangs almost popped off.

"What does this have to do with me? I'm curious why you're suddenly like this; you're a snake, after all."

"I am the Snake Sage, and there are more people around me now!"

"You bastard, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

"Stop, stop. Here's a cup of your blood as compensation."

Uchiha Yoichi said with disdain.

He's going to change his clothes.

Then Uchiha Yoichi took out a cup and swiped it across his hand. After filling the cup, Ichikishima-hime eagerly took it.

He gulped it down in one go, then stuck out his tongue and licked the inside of the cup, trying not to miss a single drop of blood.

"That's great! I feel like the energy in your blood has become much richer. If I drink a cup from time to time, my evolution speed will definitely be the fastest."

After drinking Uchiha Yoichi's blood, Princess Ichikishima forgot all about the unpleasantness from earlier, and now all she wanted was another cup.

"You're dreaming. If you want a reward, you'd better do more good deeds. You'd better perform well in a month!"

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi opened the window and threw Ichikishima-hime out.

After Ichikishima-hime left, Uchiha Yoichi cleaned up his office thoroughly.

The clone had just been dispelled, and Uchiha Yoichi had the Kamui clone release Uchiha Madara. Although he was still alive, Madara's remaining chakra was only enough to keep him breathing and speaking.

The chakra absorbed by Kaguya is very difficult to recover, but Uchiha Yoichi still made sure to have the sealing team place a seal on Uchiha Madara before sending Senju Hashirama to check on his old rival.

Kaguya's accommodation was left to Mina, in the same house where Kushina stayed last time, but it had been rebuilt.

Visit Kaguya Otsutsuki every other day to awaken her fear of the Otsutsuki clan and gain some favor with her.

This is the fastest way to increase favorability. Kaguya Otsutsuki is theoretically a homebody. If you count what she has done, it is to sneak attack Ichishiki, eat the Devil Fruit, and then prepare for White Zetsu to fight against Otsutsuki.

She couldn't even communicate well with her two sons. If she were truly ruthless and willing to do anything for power, Kaguya would have absorbed their power before they even grew up. Kaguya Otsutsuki's behavior can be described as naive and innocent.

------------

"Excuse me, how is he doing?"

After sealing Jiraiya away, Uchiha Shisui noticed that Jiraiya was pale and weak. Feeling kind-hearted, he took him to Konoha Hospital.

"Not good. He's very weak and should be hospitalized. What happened to Jiraiya-sama?"

The medical jonin examining Jiraiya spoke up, saying that they were unaware that Jiraiya had been stripped of his Konoha ninja status, and even less aware of what Jiraiya had done.

Uchiha Shisui said, "Jiraiya is no longer a Konoha ninja. Let's treat him; after that, he'll be expelled from the village!"

"Wh-what?"

Upon hearing this, the medical ninja showed surprise, shocked that even Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, could be stripped of his ninja status; but then, seeing that Uchiha Shisui didn't seem to be joking, he nodded and said...

"I understand. What kind of treatment do you want?"

"As long as he can live a normal life, that's fine. He has a sealing technique on him, so he'll be just an ordinary person from now on."

"Uchiha Shisui said, then watched as Jiraiya was taken away for treatment."

Having been possessed by the Sage of Six Paths and fought, and even having his chest pierced by a punch, it was already quite an achievement that Uchiha Yoichi could not possibly restore Jiraiya to full health.

Afterwards, Uchiha Shisui waited outside for Jiraiya to recover from his injuries and be able to live a normal life. Then he took Jiraiya back to pack his things and drove him out of the village.

Uchiha Shisui knew what had happened outside the village, and he believed that the Fifth Hokage had done everything he could.

He attacked the village's Hokage and almost sealed away the head of the Yoichi clan. Even after doing such a thing, the head of the Yoichi clan only separated Jiraiya from Mount Myōboku and focused on being a Konoha ninja.

Jiraiya was foolish to choose to stand on the side of Mount Myōboku; Konoha had already been very merciful.

After waiting for a while, Uchiha Shisui suddenly saw Orochimaru walking towards him, so he greeted him, "Lord Orochimaru."

"Shisui, may I go see Jiraiya?"

"Of course, Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Shisui nodded, but as soon as he stepped aside, a moment of hesitation flashed through his mind. In the end, he still said, "Lord Orochimaru, Jiraiya already has the sealing team's seal on him. Once he recovers, he will be expelled from the village."

"Hehehe, I understand, Shisui."

Orochimaru knew what Uchiha Shisui meant by those words, smiled, and went inside.

Upon entering, Orochimaru saw Jiraiya lying on the bed, having just finished treatment and receiving an IV drip.

Jiraiya heard someone enter, turned his head to look, and said with a bitter expression, "Orochimaru, at a time like this, only you can come to see me."

"Hehe, if it wasn't me, you might have thought it was Tsunade or Sarutobi-sensei; Sarutobi-sensei might come to see you, but he's probably thinking of having you stay, as for Tsunade..."

Orochimaru chuckled in a hoarse voice, then pulled up a chair and sat down beside Jiraiya's bed before continuing.

"The village is going to take action against Mount Myoboku next month. It's not too late for you to change your mind. I can help you put in a good word."

"No need, I will not attack Mount Myōboku."

Jiraiya interrupted Orochimaru before he could finish speaking, then sighed and said with a bitter face, "Today in the Hokage's office, Tsunade looked at me like she wanted to kill me."

"You almost sealed away Yoko's father, and you still refuse to stand on Konoha's side. It's not surprising that Tsunade has those kinds of thoughts."

"I knew nothing about this. Why would the Sage of Six Paths choose to possess me?"

In fact, Jiraiya has now figured it out: the pill he ate last time, and his previous coma, were probably related to the Sage of Six Paths.

From this perspective, the Fifth Hokage wasn't wrong to say that Mount Myōboku was involved. However, Jiraiya didn't want to deal with Mount Myōboku. Without Mount Myōboku, there probably wouldn't even be the Sannin.

There was only one nameless, white-haired chunin who died on the battlefield.

"It seems you've made your decision, Jiraiya. Then I won't say anything more. Just live in the Land of Fire for the next few years; there's no war there."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he planned to leave the ward. He had said what he could and could say, and Jiraiya wouldn't change his mind. No one could save him.

"Wait a moment!"

Jiraiya quickly called out to Orochimaru, forcefully turned over and grabbed Orochimaru's hand, saying, "Orochimaru, can you help me break the seal? Please help me."

"You want to go to Mount Myōboku? Are you crazy? Not only do you not help Konoha, but you've actually chosen to be their enemy?"

Orochimaru turned around and immediately guessed what Jiraiya was thinking. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire Uchiha Yoichi for guessing Jiraiya so perfectly.

He had just been planning to return to the lab, but Uchiha Yoichi's Kamui clone appeared in front of Orochimaru, asking him to go check on Jiraiya.

To break the chakra seal, Jiraiya has to leave Konoha's surveillance. So, where else can he go besides Mount Myōboku?

"Orochimaru, you're a genius, you don't understand this feeling. I hope to avoid this war, so I need chakra."

Orochimaru shook off Jiraiya's hand and said, "Don't be silly, Jiraiya. You can go ask Sarutobi-sensei; he won't agree to something like this."

Orochimaru!

Jiraiya's tone hardened slightly, then he forced himself to sit up and, while still on the bed, performed a dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) towards Orochimaru, saying, "I've never seriously asked you for anything before, Orochimaru. This time, only you can help me."

"You'll die!"

After Orochimaru finished speaking, seeing the resolute expression on Jiraiya's face, he sighed and said, "When you die, don't blame me for releasing the seal!"

After saying that, Orochimaru placed his hand on Jiraiya and slowly released the seal on Jiraiya's body using the same sealing technique.

There are two rather troublesome seals, but we'll break them all once Orochimaru uses his Sage Mode.

After the seal was removed, Jiraiya felt that he could refine chakra, but in his current physical state, it was difficult to refine chakra.

Orochimaru then took out a bottle of premium soldier rations produced by the Uchiha clan, placed it on the bedside table, and said, "You only have a few minutes."

After saying that, Orochimaru walked outside.

"Thank you, Orochimaru!"

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he swallowed the soldier's ration pill.

Soon, he felt his chakra rapidly recovering, and he secretly marveled at how worthy it was of being the Uchiha clan's secret medicine.

However, time is running out, and Orochimaru can't buy him much more time.

"Shadow Clone Technique".

Bang!

Jiraiya created a shadow clone, laid it on the bed, and then quickly escaped through the window. He fled to a small alley, where he used a summoning jutsu to summon a toad, which swallowed the clone whole.

The little toad then burrowed into the sewers of Konoha Village and slowly disappeared.

Meanwhile, outside the ward, Uchiha Shisui, seeing Orochimaru constantly asking him questions, said with a puzzled look, "Lord Orochimaru, I'm sorry, I'll answer your questions after I've dealt with Jiraiya's matter."

"Alright then, let's call it a day, Shisui."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he smiled and left, heading towards the outside of Konoha Hospital.

After Orochimaru left, Uchiha Shisui felt something was off, then suddenly froze and instinctively said, "This is bad."

The next second, Uchiha Shisui rushed into the ward. Seeing Jiraiya lying on the bed, he was not at ease. Instead, he took out a kunai and slashed Jiraiya's arm.

Bang!

After being injured, Jiraiya's shadow clones turned into smoke.

"hateful."

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Shisui immediately realized that Jiraiya had escaped and even the seal on his body had been broken. So he quickly left Konoha Hospital, explained the situation to the security team, and then went to the Hokage Building.

After recounting the events to Uchiha Yoichi, Uchiha Shisui lowered his head.

Uchiha Yang said, "Shisui, this isn't your fault. I was the one who hinted to Orochimaru to go."

Upon hearing this, Shisui asked with surprise, "Hokage-sama, why are you doing this?"

"Only the contractors know where Mount Myōboku is. If we were to search for it, it might take us months or even years, so we need to use some methods."

After the battle at Amenominaka, Jiraiya had the Flying Thunder God mark on him. If he went to Mount Myōboku, then Uchiha Yoichi's clone would rush over and set up the mark there.

After Uchiha Yangyi finished speaking, he took out a scroll, threw it to Shisui, and continued, "I kept it from you to deceive Jiraiya. This is compensation for you, Shisui."

"I understand, but this is also for the sake of Konoha, and it's just disappearance, so the compensation is..."

After listening, Shisui understood, and he felt that he was somewhat unworthy of the compensation.

"Here you go. This contains the Genetic Energy Cultivation Method. You are now qualified to begin. It will be popularized throughout the village later, but I'm giving it to you in advance."

Uchiha Yang said, "Go back and train hard. There will be even greater responsibilities for you in the future."

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui stopped refusing and left with gratitude, taking the scroll with him.

------------

As for the toad that swallowed Jiraiya, after leaving Konoha through the underground pipes, it spat Jiraiya out.

"Thank you, go back and wash up."

Jiraiya clasped his hands together and spoke to the toad. After looking around and finding that it was still near Konoha, he used the Summoning Jutsu again to summon the toad, Kousuke.

When Gamabunta Kosuke appeared, he asked directly, "Jiraiya, what's wrong? You seem to be injured? You look so disheveled."

"Kosuke, have Bunta summon me immediately, it's extremely urgent."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he released the Reverse Summoning Jutsu before Gamabunta could reply; he didn't know when the Konoha pursuers would find him, so he didn't want to waste a single second.

"Over here!"

Jiraiya suddenly heard shouts coming from afar, still in the sky, and knew that the guards had found him; this was near Konoha, and the guards had the Byakugan, so it was only a matter of time before they found him.

"Jiraiya, surrender!"

Swish swish!

Three ninjas instantly appeared beside Jiraiya, one of whom quickly pulled out a signal flare and fired it into the air.

When Jiraiya saw these people, he immediately sensed trouble. He had only recovered a little chakra, and the security forces were constantly providing support from afar.

"Let's do it!"

A Jonin from the Hyuga branch family saw Jiraiya gathering chakra in his feet, so he shouted and then gathered chakra in his hands.

"Eight Trigrams - Empty Palm!"

Bang!

A powerful and concentrated chakra attack struck Jiraiya directly.

However, after knocking him away, Jiraiya's body suddenly turned into a log in mid-air, using the Substitution Jutsu to dodge the attack.

"Over there."

The Jonin from the Hyuga branch family had just pointed out the direction, but in his Byakugan vision, Jiraiya turned into a wisp of smoke and then disappeared without a trace.

"They escaped? A shadow clone or something else?"

After failing to find Jiraiya, the other two members of the guard team returned to the Hyuga branch family Jonin and asked, "Captain?"

"Keep searching, they should still be nearby!"
