Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Jiraiya put away the scroll, dispelled the summoning jutsu, his lips twitching, and walked towards Naruto.

Muzan examined Sasuke's injuries. The external wounds were minor. After healing Sasuke's external wounds, he released his grip and said to Naruto, "His external wounds are healed. I can't do anything about his mental trauma. I can only wait for him to wake up on his own."

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a pained expression.

Muzan looked at Jiraiya beside him and said, "Send a message to your sister and ask her to send an ANBU ninja to bring Sasuke back to Konoha to recover from his injuries!"

Jiraiya: "..."

Good guy.

Muzan has already arranged everything perfectly.

Jiraiya nodded, and he also instructed the Anbu ninja to bring back the information revealed by Itachi Uchiha to Konoha.

While waiting for the Anbu ninjas to arrive in Tanabata, Jiraiya was thinking about Itachi Uchiha.

He had met Itachi Uchiha before Itachi betrayed him.

In terms of ninja talent and ninja mentality, this child is undoubtedly a genius.

Rei Amamiya really liked this child; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken him on as a disciple.

No one expected that Itachi Uchiha would later massacre his clan and defect.

Looking back now, Jiraiya finds it hard to connect that genius boy with the traitor who wiped out his clan.

"You lecherous immortal, what are you thinking?"

Inside the room, Naruto was taking good care of Sasuke. Noticing the lecherous sage's silence, he couldn't help but ask.

Jiraiya snapped out of his daze, his gaze sweeping over Naruto and Muzan before finally settling on Sasuke: "It's nothing."

"I've heard about Itachi Uchiha."

In the silence, Muzan suddenly spoke.

Jiraiya and Naruto's eyes immediately focused on him.

"I think there's definitely something fishy about the Uchiha clan massacre."

Muzan stroked his chin to make a judgment.

Jiraiya's eyes flickered, and he pressed, "Why do you say that?"

Naruto couldn't understand what Muzan was saying at all.

"How could Itachi Uchiha have accomplished something as horrific as wiping out his clan without alerting the village?"

Muzan raised his doubts.

Before Naruto could retort, he continued, "Although the Uchiha clan is located on the outskirts of the village, the more outskirted the area, the tighter the village's defenses, right? Even if Itachi Uchiha is a genius, it's impossible for him to completely avoid alerting the village's ninjas, unless..."

Jiraiya: "Unless what?"

Muzan looked at Jiraiya and smiled: "Unless the village deliberately transferred the ANBU ninjas around the Uchiha clan away, and the patrolling ninjas that night deliberately avoided the Uchiha clan."

Jiraiya's pupils were deep, and Muzan did not continue speaking.

Looking at Muzan before him, Jiraiya realized that the claim of the Uchiha clan's annihilation was untenable.

Muzan's intelligence had already frightened Jiraiya.

It seemed that nothing could escape Muzan's eyes.

But Muzan is clearly still a child.

Jiraiya didn't know whether Muzan's intelligence and keen insight were a good thing or a bad thing.

Chapter 452 I was tricked by that Uchiha kid!!!

Naruto looked at Muzan, then at the perverted sage, not understanding what they meant.

Isn't it an undeniable fact that Itachi Uchiha killed everyone in the Uchiha clan?

That was something Itachi Uchiha himself admitted, and it was a scene his sister witnessed!

How could this be fake?

A dark shadow appeared at the window.

Muzan looked up and saw a masked ANBU ninja in his line of sight.

Jiraiya lifted Sasuke off the bed and handed him to an ANBU ninja, also handing him a secret letter: "Give this to Amamiya Rei."

"Yes."

The ANBU ninja nodded, hoisted Sasuke onto his shoulder, and disappeared through the window.

Naruto leaned against the windowsill, looking in the direction where the Anbu ninja and Sasuke had disappeared, his face full of worry.

"Don't worry! By the time we get back, Sasuke will probably already be awake."

Muzan said, rubbing his temples.

Naruto nodded and climbed down from the windowsill, recalling the hatred in Sasuke's eyes when he saw Itachi Uchiha.

This was the first time he had ever seen Sasuke like that.

Naruto felt a little heavy-hearted.

"Perverted Sage, I want to learn even more powerful ninjutsu!"

Naruto looked up at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto and said seriously, "You really need to improve your strength!"

Jiraiya's gaze passed over Naruto and went out the window. As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto had been targeted. If Naruto didn't train hard to improve his strength, he might be taken away by those people.

After being taken away by that group of people, Naruto's fate was sealed.

"Let's go!"

Jiraiya patted Naruto's head, but his other hand missed as usual.

"where to?"

Naruto asked.

Jiraiya looked at them and said, "Go find Tsunade."

Muzan immediately looked at Jiraiya: "Have you found her location yet?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Of course!"

He reiterated, "You think too badly of me! You think I went drinking just to drink? I was there to gather intelligence!"

Muzan ignored Jiraiya's words as if they were nothing.

Naruto also remained skeptical.

After leaving the inn and having dinner, they set off on their journey to find Tsunade.

By this time, it was already dark.

With countless bright stars overhead, the nighttime street in Tanzaku is just as lively as it is during the day.

Muzan and Naruto followed Jiraiya through the crowd and arrived at an izakaya (Japanese pub).

"Alright! You lecherous sage! You want to drink again! And you want to drink with me and Muzan! Drinking is one of the three forbidden things for ninjas! Muzan and I will not give in!"

Before Jiraiya could say a word, Naruto had already put on a grand show at the doorway.

Jiraiya glanced at Naruto, then stretched out his hands, grabbed one of them with each hand, and forcibly dragged Naruto into the izakaya.

As for why Muzan wasn't forcibly dragged into it?

Because Muzan went in on his own initiative.

Upon entering the izakaya, Muzan immediately caught a whiff of meaty aroma.

Although the aroma of rice was very faint compared to the strong smell of alcohol, Muzan still managed to filter it out from the alcohol.

The aroma of the food, brimming with vitality, was something Muzan couldn't think of besides Tsunade.

A light shone in Muzan's eyes.

His gaze quickly swept across the izakaya, and after careful screening and investigation, he immediately locked onto his target.

Muzan walked towards Tsunade's direction.

Jiraiya, who was behind him, was stunned. He hadn't expected Muzan to find Tsunade's location before him!

As Jiraiya dragged Naruto toward Tsunade, he suddenly stopped and his gaze fell on Muzan ahead.

That's not right!

Does Muzan know what Tsunade looks like?

Could it be that we are connected by blood?

Jiraiya couldn't explain it clearly, so he decided to ask after they sat down.

"Lady Tsunade, please drink less..."

Shizune held Tun-tun in her arms, looking helplessly at the drunken Tsunade beside her.

Tsunade's condition changed after Orochimaru came to visit during the day.

Lady Tsunade has been drinking since the afternoon, and Shizune couldn't stand it anymore.

A dark shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.

When she looked closely, she saw a handsome young man sitting opposite Lady Tsunade.

Shizune tilted her head in confusion: "You..."

Before she could even ask, Lady Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

Shizune was startled and looked blankly at Tsunade beside her.

Tsunade's brows were furrowed, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes were clear as she stared at Muzan with suspicion and uncertainty, her chest heaving with rapid breathing.

Muzan calmly looked up at her.

It smells so good!

Muzan took a deep breath, completely absorbed in the moment.

Top-tier lung capacity.

"Lady Tsunade..."

Shizune stood up, wanting to persuade Lady Tsunade not to make things difficult for the child.

What an adorable child!

Tsunade placed her hands on the table, lowering her body with an oppressive air, casting a shadow over Muzan.

"You... are Kibutsuji Muzan?"

Tsunade said with certainty.

Shizune was stunned for a moment, and then her surprised gaze fell on Muzan.

They had heard the rumors that had spread throughout the ninja world, but every time they heard them, Lady Tsunade insisted that they were just rumors.

Over time, Jingyin also began to believe it was a rumor, but unexpectedly, the rumor came true today.

Muzan nodded: "Mm."

A cross immediately appeared on Tsunade's forehead, and her hand, which was slamming on the table, clenched into a fist.

She really wanted to punch Uchiha Shisui to death!

"Long time no see, Tsunade. You're still as impulsive as ever~"

Jiraiya chuckled as he approached, pushing Muzan aside, fearing that Tsunade might impulsively punch Muzan to death.

Tsunade stared intently at Jiraiya, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Muzan's face.

Her face was quite innocent, but her dark eyes were undeniably glaring.

Tsunade took a deep breath and, with Jiraiya's reassurance, sat back down on the sofa.

Naruto stared warily at Tsunade. He hadn't forgotten how this woman had looked like she wanted to devour Muzan just moments before. He had to stay here to protect Muzan!
