If she had fired a bullet with nature transformation at that time, she might have been able to make a large hole in Ōnoki's chest, and even with a Healing Pill, he would have struggled to survive.
"I remember seeing blueprints of this on your desk before. You even said it was a toy back then. Can a toy almost kill the Third Tsuchikage?"
Tsunade sat beside Orochimaru, recalling how she used to fool her. She opened her mouth and bit her wrist.
"It was indeed a toy back then, but it's not anymore."
Orochimaru wasn't fooling Tsunade. When the gun was first made, the technology wasn't mature, and the power of the gunpowder and bullets produced could only be described as a somewhat dangerous toy.
Now, this gun is the product of her numerous improvements. The gunpowder that propels the bullets is Chakra gunpowder, and it also contains Chakra explosives capable of Chakra nature transformation.
It's a pity that to increase speed and penetration, she didn't use the more powerful Lightning or Fire Release, otherwise, there's a high probability Ōnoki would already be a corpse.
"Let me try."
Tsunade took the miniature pistol from Orochimaru's hand and, mimicking Orochimaru's movements, pulled the trigger at the ground.
With a bang, the casing ejected, and the moment the bullet left the barrel, Tsunade could feel a slight recoil, followed by a hole appearing on the ground.
"Let me try too, it looks very interesting!"
Jiraiya had seen Tsunade holding that unique Ninja tool pointed at the ground from afar. Intrigued, he quickly walked over, looking at the miniature pistol in Tsunade's hand. He was very interested in such a special Ninja tool that almost killed the Third Tsuchikage.
"Ask Orochimaru."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Jiraiya, playing with the miniature pistol with adoration, like a child who had received a beloved toy.
"Tsunade, let Jiraiya see it."
Orochimaru said indifferently. After all, this gun was just a toy when facing an Ōtsutsuki.
"Here you go."
Tsunade reluctantly threw the miniature pistol to Jiraiya.
"Hey! That's dangerous!"
Jiraiya fumbled to catch the miniature pistol, worried that he might accidentally touch something, causing it to misfire and injure himself, Tsunade, or Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, you're truly a genius!"
Jiraiya exclaimed, looking at the exquisitely crafted miniature pistol in his hand. It was hard to imagine that one of the Five Kage, the Tsuchikage, was almost killed by such a Ninja tool.
"It's nothing special, just a Ninja tool suitable for sneak attacks."
Orochimaru rested her chin on one hand, watching the flames dancing in the bonfire.
"Orochimaru, do you think the war between Hidden Stone and Konoha will continue?"
Jiraiya didn't try to fire the gun. He returned the miniature pistol to Tsunade, who had been staring at him, and thinking about the war between Hidden Stone and Konoha, he wanted to know Orochimaru's opinion.
"Yes, Hidden Stone's actions against Konoha will not end, and Konoha will not stop its actions until Hidden Stone declares a ceasefire."
Orochimaru picked up a branch, broke it, and threw it into the bonfire, then continued, "Jiraiya, this war is far more complicated than you imagine. Kumogakure, Hidden Mist, and Sunagakure haven't acted yet. We don't know what the three great Shinobi Villages are thinking. They might be waiting for an opportunity, an opportune moment for them to strike."
Jiraiya sighed at her words. He didn't understand if there was any point in continuing a war of mutual slaughter.
Could such a Ninja World truly be changed by one person?
Jiraiya once again thought of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, the Child of Prophecy who would bring change to the Ninja World.
From the beginning, he was willing to believe the prophecy. During his travels, he had witnessed countless tragedies caused by war.
Those war orphans who had lost their parents and all their support, if it weren't for the White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company willing to take them in, he wouldn't dare to imagine what they would become.
He was now beginning to doubt the authenticity of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy. Could one person truly bring change and peace to the Ninja World?
Jiraiya turned and left. Orochimaru and Tsunade watched his retreating back.
"Is that Jiraiya fellow agonizing over the Great Toad Sage's prophecy from Mount Myōboku?"
Tsunade hugged Orochimaru's arm and leaned against her, recalling the Great Toad Sage's prophecy that Jiraiya had told her about.
"Evidently, everything he thinks is written on his face."
Orochimaru didn't care about the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and had also reminded Jiraiya not to believe prophecies too much, and even more so not to deliberately follow them. Whether he listened or not was no longer her concern.
"Jiraiya's thoughts, how can they be changed by a few words from you and me? If he could be changed so easily, he wouldn't be Jiraiya."
"Indeed..."
Tsunade nodded slightly and handed the miniature pistol in her hand to Orochimaru.
"It's yours."
Orochimaru didn't take the miniature pistol Tsunade offered.
"Really?"
