Chapter 113: Hiruzen's Side Effects, Danzō's Midnight Theft Attempt, Naraku's New Talent Reward, and Tsunade's Scolding
With Sarutobi Hiruzen unconscious, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura arranged the specific cleanup work.
What surprised the two was that they had expected Danzō to make some move at this moment—yet Danzō left the battlefield without saying a word.
Naraku had finally obtained the long-awaited biological material and was naturally eager to start preparing for forging.
With his head lowered, Naraku suddenly saw two white watermelons—no! Two white giant objects!
Tsunade coldly looked at her obedient disciple Naraku and smiled as she said: "My cute little disciple, what are you rushing off to do? Planning to forge some more 'good stuff' again? This time, can you let me watch from the side?"
Naraku saw the powerful flames possibly hidden beneath Tsunade's seemingly calm expression and immediately felt a dull ache in his ribs.
Afterward Tsunade grabbed Naraku by the ear and dragged him away.
In the Senju clan grounds, Naraku knelt on the cushion. Looking up, he faced two milky-white snow globes—no, looking up he faced Tsunade holding a disciplinary ruler.
It was practically the setup for a strict big-breasted blonde female teacher forcibly disciplining her underage disciple AV story.
Naraku had already prepared to accept punishment. After all, using someone's grandfather's corpse for forging was a bit indecent, and at most Tsunade would beat him up—he was thick-skinned and would recover quickly.
Even with his face as thick as a city wall, he felt what he'd done earlier was a little wrong.
Unexpectedly, Tsunade tapped the ruler a few times, ultimately didn't strike, and instead asked: "Do you have anything else to say? If you can't give a reasonable reason, you're not allowed to think about forging for a while. I'll break your arm!"
Hearing this, Naraku instantly activated his invincible brain and said: "This was all requested by Lord Third Hokage! I was forced! Besides, Konoha is now surrounded by powerful enemies—any moment we could be besieged by the other four villages! So we must forge a weapon capable of carrying the village to protect Konoha! Sensei, you don't want Konoha to be destroyed in the end, right!"
Naraku pushed sophistry to the extreme, but Tsunade slammed the ruler on the table after hearing it and angrily said: "Then why didn't you tell me? Did I agree? Or am I not qualified to know about this matter?"
Tsunade's angry triple combo directly forced out Naraku's brain potential!
Naraku said: "For this matter, whether Sensei agrees or not isn't the key issue! The key is the First Hokage's agreement! I think the First would definitely not oppose this—even support it! Moreover, forget the First—even if the Second Hokage came, he would definitely agree!"
Tsunade's beautiful brows furrowed as she mocked: "Then go find the First Hokage you keep mentioning and ask if he agrees! Oh! And the Second Hokage you mentioned too!"
"Then we can just perform the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation and ask the two Hokage Lords! I think this is very necessary—if all three Hokage agree, then it would be appropriate!" Naraku said casually.
"Impure World Reincarnation?" Tsunade asked blankly.
Only then did Naraku remember that Tsunade seemed unaware of the Impure World Reincarnation technique. In the original story she was even tempted by Orochimaru with it.
Naraku explained: "Impure World Reincarnation is an S-rank otherworldly summoning technique invented by the Second Hokage. The technique can resurrect the dead and control them."
"What are the drawbacks? How do you know about it?" Tsunade instantly caught the key point.
Naraku said: "The drawback is that resurrection requires a living sacrifice, the dead person's cells or soul. The dead also can't display much strength. I've never used it specifically, so I don't know the details."
Actually this was also an idea Naraku recently came up with—for example, could he use Senju Hashirama's help to kidnap old Madara and make him leave, so Naraku could safely reform the ninja world.
But on the other hand, the current Impure World Reincarnation was too weak. The technique's initial usage was actually to first summon the dead with Impure World Reincarnation, then cover the dead body with explosive tags via Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags, turning them into human bombs to attack enemies.
Strengthening the dead's combat power still required later generations' further research—Naraku believed Orochimaru should be able to complete this work very well.
Finally, he needed to capture a few White Zetsu—he hadn't forgotten that sleazy White Zetsu in the Uchiha clan grounds!
As for whether Impure World Reincarnation would be sensed by the Sage of Six Paths and lead to the discovery of the Hall of the Dead, Naraku found the answer in the hundreds of thousands of words of system manual.
Even if the Sage of Six Paths sensed the abnormal number of dead, he still couldn't find the Hall of the Dead.
But in the Naruto worldview, disturbing the dead was wrong—Tsunade was also conflicted about this.
While Tsunade was hesitating, it gave Naraku the chance to slip away.
Naraku returned to the Uchiha clan grounds. After excitedly rubbing his hands like a fly, he received the talent reward from Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Ding...
[Sarutobi Hiruzen has reached Top mastery of S (Pseudo) grade weapon Infinite. Talent Replication activated: Sarutobi Hiruzen version Final Transformation!] (Final Transformation: Consume chakra and life force to transform into a terrifyingly powerful Titan!)
After reading it, Naraku immediately flushed this down the drain—so ugly and consumes life force, total trash!
...
The next night
In Konoha's VIP ward, Sarutobi Hiruzen's wife Sarutobi Biwako had just left.
At this late hour another person came to visit. The Anbu at the door saluted Danzō and let him in—this person was a spy Danzō had planted in Anbu, coincidentally on duty today.
The Anbu further outside also wouldn't stop Danzō from entering the hospital.
Danzō looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen on the sickbed and said faintly: "I've called you monkey half your life—never thought you could really turn into a monkey. Unfortunately this power is something I need!"
With his spy, Danzō naturally knew Infinite had always been tightly gripped in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand.
Danzō's midnight visit was precisely to covet the terrifying power of Infinite. Danzō placed his right hand on Infinite—greed practically overflowing from his eyes.
Danzō pulled twice, but something embarrassing happened. For some reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen gripped Infinite tightly—he couldn't pull it out at all.
Danzō could only stop pretending. He used his left hand to pry open Sarutobi Hiruzen's fingers one by one. But just as Danzō pried open Sarutobi Hiruzen's third finger—
A voice rang out in the quiet ward.
"Danzō! You're still so good—visiting me in the middle of the night! But are you prying my fingers to make it easier for me to use Mystical Palm Technique?" Sarutobi Hiruzen had somehow woken up. He squinted at Danzō and said.
Even someone as experienced as Danzō felt a little tense—he couldn't very well say he came at midnight to apply nail polish to Sarutobi Hiruzen!
He glanced at the seemingly very weak Sarutobi Hiruzen, and suddenly a malicious thought surged in his heart.
Just as Danzō was choosing the best angle to strike—
Danzō seemed to see the terrifying giant ape behind Sarutobi Hiruzen roaring at him.
Danzō didn't dare confront it. He could only say a few casual words and quickly leave the ward.
Sarutobi Hiruzen rolled up his sleeve and looked at the strange fuzz underneath, muttering to himself: "Naraku… isn't this side effect a bit too severe?"
