Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 535 Reinforcements

Seeing Kabuto's unconcerned attitude, Fugaku hesitated to act rashly.

"It's a sealing barrier!"

Interspersed among the slender triangular windmill were three dark black dots. With his kaleidoscope vision, he could clearly see a dense mass of chakra in Kabuto's abdomen.

Sasuke must be trapped there!

"That's right, it's a sealing barrier!"

"However, this sealing barrier is a bit special. If something suddenly happens to the caster, Sasuke-kun might be affected!"

With the second and third generations of the Fugaku standing before him, a black, transparent film appeared in Kabuto's eyes as he openly stared into Fugaku's eyes.

The ninjutsu he used to trap Sasuke was a high-level sealing technique.

The principle is similar to that used in the original work, where Jiraiya spits out a toad, and Orochimaru and Kisame store scroll weapons in their stomachs.

His is just a bit more advanced.

"This…"

Kabuto's words made Fugaku hesitate.

Logically speaking, if Kabuto were to die, the sealed space within his body would dissipate directly, and it shouldn't affect Sasuke's safety.

However, he dared not gamble.

If someone like this guy were to use some special ability or technique to tamper with things, he would regret it immensely.

"What, are you not attacking anymore?"

Kabuto chuckled, completely unconcerned about Fugaku's reaction.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first!"

He didn't have time to waste here with Fugaku; he still had a mission assigned to him by Nagato!

Seeing Fugaku caught in a dilemma, a layer of crimson flames appeared on Kabuto's body, slowly burning upwards from his ankles.

As time passed, the body parts that had been touched by the flames began to slowly disappear, like a realistic painting about to be burned to ashes.

It was about to disappear.

Fugaku, looking at the second and third Hokage blocking his way, frowned and began to silently prepare.

It seems they intend to use their pupil technique.

"Rasengan!"

Just then, a blue sphere radiating chakra light suddenly appeared beside Kabuto and pressed down on his back.

"Lord Jiraiya!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Fugaku's spirits lifted. "What are you doing here?"

This powerful reinforcement overjoyed Fugaku. With Jiraiya's help, things were sure to be resolved satisfactorily.

"Ah! The Hokage sent a message asking me to come and check on the situation!"

Jiraiya simply gave Fugaku a casual reply before turning his gaze to Kabuto.

"You... are Orochimaru's henchman?"

Frowning, Jiraiya asked somewhat uncertainly.

Kabuto's current aura and chakra are very similar to Orochimaru's, especially the eyeshadow on his face and the identical snake eyes, which remind him of his former comrade.

"Cough...cough..."

Being ambushed by Jiraiya was like a high-speed spinning top, rotating 1080 degrees before freefalling, leaving a fresh drag mark on the earth.

Kabuto coughed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and lay on the ground, turning his head to look at Jiraiya who had suddenly appeared.

"The Fifth Hokage's reaction was surprisingly swift; he actually sent you!"

"Uh...pfft..."

With his hands on the ground, Dou was about to get up when his expression suddenly changed.

His body seemed to lose all strength, and he lay down again, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"That's really... an incredibly powerful ninjutsu. It actually managed to injure me in my current state."

His body had undergone extensive modifications, with even a liquid-like buffer layer under his skin, yet it was still injured to this extent.

"This is the fourth generation's technique; its power is beyond question!"

"But you, you withstood a Rasengan head-on, and only ended up injured and coughing up blood. That's what surprises me!"

He hadn't held back at all. In his opinion, apart from the Third Raikage, no one could withstand that Rasengan head-on with their bare body.

"Give up the resistance. Although you didn't die on the spot, you're seriously injured and can't escape the combined attack of me and Fugaku!"

"Yeah!"

His body trembled and writhed violently, and then a layer of white 'snake skin' was peeled off.

"Just as I expected... it's Orochimaru's style!"

Upon seeing the peeling skin, Jiraiya's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. This guy really did inherit Orochimaru's true skills!

"And what's more, they actually manipulated the soul of their predecessor! They truly deserve to die!"

I never imagined that I would end up fighting with the old man and the second generation under these circumstances.

"What, Lord Jiraiya, do you intend to kill me here?"

The newly transformed Kabuto, hiding behind the Second and Third Hokage, looked at Jiraiya, who stood on the opposite side of him, with a gloomy expression.

"It seems getting away won't be easy!"

Jiraiya knew the sealing techniques very well, and he knew that if he tried to scare Fugaku, he wouldn't be able to easily fool him.

Yes, he just told Fugaku that Sasuke would also meet with misfortune after his death; it was just a scare tactic to frighten Fugaku.

For ninjas, deceiving their opponents is standard practice.

"If I die here, there will be no one to help revive your dearest friend, Lord Orochimaru."

"Are you... really going to do this?"

As spies, they are all very good at exploiting the weaknesses of their targets, especially someone like Jiraiya who is driven by emotions; he can always find the weaknesses in the other person's character.

They exploited this weakness to achieve their own goals.

"Resurrected... Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya was clearly taken aback when he heard Kabuto's words.

"Wasn't that scoundrel killed by that Uchiha guy?"

As he spoke, Jiraiya glanced at Fugaku beside him.

The one who killed Orochimaru was the second son of the security force captain standing next to him; he wouldn't be mistaken about that.

"That's certainly true, but... Lord Orochimaru left behind a means of resurrection!"

He glanced at Jiraiya, who seemed somewhat puzzled, and then at the former Hokage beside him.

Dou pursed her lips and began to make plans.

"Lord Jiraiya, don't listen to his nonsense! This guy is preparing to escape!"

Fugaku, who was standing to the side, never took his eyes off Kabuto's body. If it weren't for the Second and Third Hokage beside him, he probably would have attacked directly.

Wan's powerful perception allowed him to realize that the other party was trying to escape, and he immediately became anxious.

"Amaterasu!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his left eye, which had been tightly closed, and focused his gaze on Dou.

Compared to the risks Sasuke faced, he couldn't accept his son being kidnapped.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique

Clearly, Kabuto was prepared. As soon as Fugaku finished speaking, the Third Hokage, whom he had summoned, made his move.

Just before Amaterasu reached him, he used this ninjutsu, which had been improved by the Second Hokage, to slightly block the oncoming black flames.

The second generation, too, was not idle.

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall"

A rushing sound of water rang out, and a wall of water several feet thick rose and swirled around the three of them, completely blocking Amaterasu's attack routes.
