Chapter 199
Rumble—
The terrifying power forced Orochimaru to temporarily retreat.
"Jiraiya!"
"I know, I'll take care of Sealing the Second Hokage!"
In a one-on-one situation, with the current precision of Edo Tensei, Senju Tobirama was no match for Jiraiya.
Orochimaru's expression grew increasingly grim.
"I didn't expect Tsunade to not only overcome her hemophobia but also have such a trump card?"
"First Uzumaki Naruto, and now Tsunade, one after another, they've all exceeded my calculations…"
Of course, he wasn't afraid of Tsunade.
However… seeing the Edo Tensei Senju Tobiramabeing beaten back by Jiraiya, and even about to be forcibly Sealed, he couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety.
"Hmph, it seems today's plan will be difficult to succeed…"
Orochimaru quickly retreated, his figure rapidly moving away like a White Serpent.
At the same time… *Pa!*
He clapped his hands again, and two coffins appeared out of thin air, emerging from the ground, simultaneously retrieving the Edo Tensei Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama.
Although Naruto had Sealed Senju Hashiramaearlier, the Sanpō Fūin he used was not a secret technique for Sealing souls, but merely restricted his movements.
Moreover, because this Sealing Technique required at least three people to activate it together, after Naruto fainted, his Shadow Clones also disappeared one after another, making it impossible to continue the Seal.
Orochimaru's voice faded into the distance.
"Jiraiya, Tsunade, today's events are not over yet!"
"No matter who becomes Hokage…"
"I will ultimately destroy Konoha Village!"
…Looking at his receding back, Jiraiya and Tsunadeexchanged glances, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Tsunade dared not delay and immediately went back to Naruto's side.
"How is it, Shizune!"
Shizune shook her head, her face equally pale.
"Although the wound was forcibly healed, and the bleeding has stopped, however…"
"That was a severe heart injury after all, even with Naruto's astonishing vitality…"
Tsunade nodded: "It's alright, leave the rest to me!"
She extended her right hand, and green Chakra, like a Chakra Scalpel, emitted a buzzing sound!
"Lady Tsunade, what are you going to do?!"
Tsunade directly inserted her Chakra Scalpel into Naruto's heart area, and then… grabbed it!
Even Jiraiya couldn't help but feel his heart pound!
"That is…"
Shizune said: "Lady Tsunade wants to revive Naruto's heart and make it beat again, and…"
"She's going to lend all the Chakra and vitality she's accumulated in her Yin Seal to Naruto!"
Jiraiya fell silent.
"Tsunade…"
"Naruto…"
Jiraiya could even hear his own heartbeat… He had experienced countless upheavals.
He had also failed to save his disciples in time… His life was filled with countless regrets.
But this time… he absolutely did not want to experience that pain and despair again!
…Who knows how much time passed.
Tsunade suddenly went limp and collapsed weakly to the side.
"Lady Tsunade!"
"Tsunade… h-how is it…"
A smile suddenly appeared on Tsunade's exhausted face.
"Don't worry, he won't die…"
Jiraiya was startled, finally letting out a breath of relief.
The next moment, Naruto indeed struggled to open his eyes again… "Perverted… Pervy Sage…"
"Did… did I die?"
Jiraiya laughed heartily: "Even if Shinigami wants you, he'll have to ask for my opinion first!"
"No, it was Tsunade who saved you…"
Naruto turned his head, looking at the extremely haggard Tsunade, and couldn't help but feel full of gratitude and apology… "Grandma Tsunade…"
"Thank you… I'm very sorry…"
Tsunade touched his forehead, revealing a radiant and charming smile.
"Naruto, no need to say these things…"
"Rather, I should be the one to thank and apologize…"
"You made me overcome my hemophobia and untied the knot in my heart that has been there for so many years…"
"You, you made me rediscover myself…"
Although Naruto was confused and didn't quite understand, he still showed his characteristic bright smile.
"Hehe…"
"I really am amazing, after all, I'm a genius Ninja…"
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and smiled genuinely.
"Mm!"
…Jiraiya carried Naruto on his shoulders, supporting the weak Tsunade, while Shizune took away the unconscious Yakushi Kabuto, and the group, somewhat disheveled, walked back towards Tanzaku Town.
This legendary Great Sannin War finally came to an end.
For Jiraiya, although it was extremely dangerous, he had over-fulfilled his mission.
Not only did he find Tsunade, but he also helped her regain her original will, and convincing her to become Hokage was only a matter of time… As for Naruto, he actually mastered three completely new Ninjutsu within three days!
Wind Release: Vacuum Sword!
Summoning Technique!
Rasengan!
Moreover, in this great battle, he actually became the biggest key!
First, he defeated Tsunade, making her wholeheartedly convinced and acknowledging Naruto's strength.
Then, he fiercely fought Yakushi Kabuto, completely defeating and capturing him!
Finally, under Orochimaru's sudden attack and severe injury, he launched a counterattack, severely wounding Orochimaru!
This performance, let alone him still being a child, even if it were anyone else in the entire Ninja World, they might not have been able to do better… Back in Tanzaku Town.
Naruto naturally needed a good rest.
Tsunade, Shizune, and even Jiraiya were also injured and exhausted… The group stayed in Tanzaku Town for seven or eight days.
During these days, besides recovering themselves, they were also treating Naruto's injuries.
Tsunade couldn't help but be full of admiration.
Naruto, after a series of intense battles, was pierced through the heart by Orochimaru's kusanagi sword, yet he still survived; this was simply a miracle!
Moreover, after these seven or eight days of treatment, he now showed no signs of his previous near-death state… He was already lively and bouncy, having fully recovered!
While breathing a sigh of relief, Jiraiya and Tsunade were also shocked by his terrifying vitality… "Naruto, your vitality is comparable to your grandfather's…"
"Grandfather? The First Hokage-sama?"
"Yes, he was the one who pacified the warring Sengoku period, created the order of the Ninja World, and was respectfully called the God of Ninja by the world!"
Tsunade also yearned: "He could heal wounds without hand seals, and was almost impossible for anyone to kill. Compared to him, my Yin Seal is child's play…"
Naruto was equally filled with longing.
"I'm not that amazing, I'm far from the First Hokage-sama!"
Tsunade smiled: "But grandfather wasn't a genius from the start; he was the type who accumulated a lot and then burst forth. It's just that he took one step at a time, and each step was like a great mountain, making us only able to look up in awe, far out of reach…"
"Speaking of which, at the same age, grandfather probably couldn't compare to Naruto's talent…"
Naruto scratched his head and gave a dry laugh, but his heart was already blooming with joy.
"Hahahaha, am I really that amazing?!"
Jiraiya said: "Of course you are!"
"Mastering three Ninjutsu within three days, and all of them are of top difficulty…"
"This kind of talent, perhaps only the Fourth Hokage can compare to it…"
Naruto became even more smug.
He had completed the system's impossible mission.
Within three days, he mastered Wind Release Vacuum Sword, Summoning Technique, and Rasengan!
After that, he also received generous rewards from the system.
Wind Release: Pressure Damage Technique!
This was originally Kakuzu's good at Wind Release Ninjutsu!
Kakuzu's five hearts were all acquired from other Ninja over a long period of time, and the Five Element Ninjutsu they contained were undoubtedly the strongest Ninjutsu he had carefully selected!
Regarding Wind Release: Pressure Damage, it compresses Wind Release Chakra into a powerful "wind sphere," then shoots it out like a heavy cannonball that re-explodes at the designated location!
This high-density Chakra wind sphere is described in official books as having catastrophic destructive power!
