Jiraiya and Tsunade Turned Against Him
On this day, Konoha was bustling with activity.
Countless Konoha Ninja and villagers headed towards the Hokage Building.
This day also witnessed a pivotal moment in Konoha's history, with envoys from various nations and ninja villages arriving with great tension to witness this moment that would influence the future of the Shinobi World.
The area in front of the Hokage Building was already crowded with people, and ninjas were squatting solemnly on the rooftops and trees, waiting anxiously.
At the same time, a large number of Konoha Military Police Force ninjas began to maintain order, and many village ninjas also assisted.
While people outside waited anxiously, an eerie atmosphere permeated the Hokage Office.
Tsunade stood calmly at the window, gazing at the crowded figures outside. "Kid, leave the Third Hokage to me and Jiraiya."
Faced with this choice, Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded nonchalantly, "Okay, but for the subsequent Ninja legion deployment, I want 70% of the Sarutobi Clan's ninjas."
It was clear that the two had reached some kind of agreement, and Tsunade sighed and nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"The Sarutobi Clan rose to power by absorbing Third Hokage 'Konoha resources, and it's only right that they pay the price now. Moreover, an overly powerful Sarutobi Clan can also cause some people to harbor inappropriate thoughts."
"But kid, have you thought this through? This time you'll be facing the entire Shinobi World! It's not too late to back out now."
Tsunade clearly knew about his plan, or rather, Uchiha Yoru never hid anything from his own people, and even Jiraiya knew.
Seeing Tsunade's solemn expression, a smug smile gradually appeared on Uchiha Yoru's face.
"No one was born standing in the heavens, neither you nor I, not even the gods. But the vacancy of the throne of the Shinobi World is about to end. From this day forward, I will stand at the top! I will end the chaos in the Shinobi World!"
Looking at the domineering Uchiha Yoru, a strange emotion flashed in Tsunade's eyes, but her personality made her purse her lips and say, "Arrogant brat."
"Time is almost up. Enjoy your last moments of leisure. From today onward, you'll be facing the entire Shinobi World. I need to go out and take care of the Third Hokage's matter."
After saying this, Tsunade turned and left. Although she said she had to deal with the Third Hokage's matter, she glanced at the corner without leaving a trace, slowly curled her lips into a cold snort, and then left.
As the door to the Hokage Office closed, Uchiha Yoru's gaze shifted to the corner where Tsunade had looked before leaving.
"Heh heh! What an ambitious man."
Just then, a seductive voice rang out from the Hokage Office, and a figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner—it was Mei Terumi the Mist Ninja.
Wearing a blue strapless dress, a white belt around her waist, and dark blue nail polish, Mei Terumi has matured and now possesses the aura of the Fifth Mizukage as she appeared in the original work.
"Ming, you've come."
Mei Terumi appeared in the Hokage Office, her eyes alluring as she surveyed her surroundings. Then, quite boldly, she nestled into Uchiha Yoru's arms, sitting upright on his strong, muscular lap.
It was a scene brimming with allure, yet Mei Terumi and Uchiha Yoru's eyes held an unprecedented clarity.
Mei Terumi finally gave in first. The mature and alluring look on her face disappeared, replaced by weariness and melancholy.
"What are you going to do if I don't come?"
Mei Terumi voiced the question that had been lurking deep within her heart, but Uchiha Yoru simply smiled calmly in response.
"It doesn't matter. The final outcome of a declining Kirigakure is just a matter of time being postponed."
"And what about me?" Mei Terumi was clearly a little nervous and wanted to ask this question.
This is a difficult question, no less challenging than deciding who to save first if someone falls into the sea.
However, Uchiha Yoru simply smiled and slowly reached out his palm to stroke Mei Terumi's smooth, long hair. "Since the Mangekyo can control the Fourth Mizukage, I think it's not unreasonable for my eyes to control the Fifth Mizukage."
Upon hearing this answer, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mei Terumi's eyes, along with a look of understanding.
"Indeed, you are a very ambitious person."
But it is precisely this kind of person who is charming. Mei Terumi leaned gently against this familiar chest, her eyes narrowing as she enjoyed the temporary comfort like a Persian cat.
The Hokage Meeting Room.
The meeting room that once held four chairs now has only one left, symbolizing the end of the F4, the high-ranking members of the Third Hokage's faction in Konoha.
On this sole chair, the now aged and frail Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat alone, his cloudy eyes filled with countless memories.
"Old man, sometimes you shouldn't be so stubborn. The future belongs to the young."
Jiraiya, gazing at the crowds outside the building. Then, glancing sideways at Third Hokage lonely old man exuding the air of his twilight years, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Tsunade, who had just entered, immediately saw the Third Hokage silently and alone, holding a cup of tea and enjoying his last moments as Hokage.
Upon seeing this, Tsunade's lips curled into a smile as she turned to look at Jiraiya.
"Tsunade." Faced with Tsunade's meaningful smile, Jiraiya's face showed utter embarrassment and speechlessness.
"I didn't Jiraiya you were so quick, Jiraiya. Tsk tsk."
Hearing Tsunade's sarcastic remarks, Jiraiya's face turned green, as if he had been stepped on. He immediately snapped back, just like when he was younger and got angry.
"Tch! You think everyone's like you, an old cow eating young grass?"
It was obvious that Jiraiya already knew something, or rather, had figured it out. Although he felt sad and empty at the time, how could a hero like Jiraiya be deeply affected by it? The next day, he returned to his true nature and laughed wildly.
"Jiraiya! You're asking for it!"
This was the last thing Tsunade wanted to hear. A vein throbbed on her forehead, and a surge of anger rose in her beautiful eyes.
However, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was lost in his memories, was startled awake by the noise and looked up at his two noisy disciples.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly, casually put down his cup, and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed drastically.
The Chakra within my body suddenly became sluggish; I've been poisoned!
The Third Hokage's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked up at Jiraiya and Tsunade with shock and anger.
The tea is poisoned! Only Jiraiya has touched this tea here; Jiraiya poisoned it! But it's colorless and odorless, so he didn't notice anything amiss. The poison was prepared by Tsunade!
In an instant, the experienced Third Hokage had already figured out who had poisoned him, and even who had formulated the poison.
"Jiraiya! Tsunade! You guys!"
A hoarse roar, like that of an old tiger, echoed through the Meeting Room, but a tall and imposing white figure had already appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
At this moment, Jiraiya 'Jiraiya was full of complex emotions, but he did not hold back at all. He slammed his palm heavily into Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen, and the enormous force sent the sixty-year-old man flying against the wall.
Sealing Jutsu: Five Elements Seal
"Bang!"
Amidst excruciating abdominal pain and uncontrollable chakra within his body, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slid slowly down the wall in a disheveled state, roared a desperate howl.
"Jiraiya!"
"Um! That teacher, it's me!"
At this moment Jiraiya stood there awkwardly, scratching his white hair, looking embarrassed and stammering. He had none of the imposing presence of the Sannin, and looked just like the Dead Last he once was, awkwardly at a loss for what to do.
"Jiraiya, well done! You were quick, accurate, and ruthless. You really haven't neglected your training at all these past few years."
Tsunade to the side, clapped and cheered as if she didn't want things to get any worse, making Jiraiya even more embarrassed.
"Tsunade, you!"
Frustrated Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was bent over and coughing violently on the ground, and said awkwardly, "Old man, I don't want to see you die in vain either. Besides, with Konoha in this state, if that brat really goes crazy, the entire Konoha will be wiped out."
Watching Jiraiya's incoherent explanation, Tsunade her lip in disdain. "What's with all the rambling? Don't you know how stubborn the old man is? He'll see for himself soon enough and then he'll understand how ridiculous his ideas are."
The poison prepared by Tsunade was so potent that Jiraiya admitted after being poisoned that he couldn't gather Chakra, his whole body was paralyzed, Kunai. In the end, with Shizune's help, he was only able to barely recover 30% of his fighting power, which shows how dangerous the poison was.
This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in his memories and unknowingly drank an entire pot of tea under Jiraiya's watchful gaze. Jiraiya in his prime couldn't keep up, let alone an aging Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Jiraiya, actually. He's so ruthless, making the old man drink a whole pot of tea."
Tsunade picked up the teapot, looked at the empty teapot with a look of astonishment, and stared at Jiraiya as if to say, "Are you worried about my poison, or about the Third Hokage, an old man in his sixties?"
Faced with this, Jiraiya hurriedly offered an explanation, feeling frustrated.
"You have no idea, the old man just kept drinking cup after cup, sighing and moaning. What am I supposed to do? Tell him he can't drink this tea before the drug even takes effect? Too much anesthetic can cause problems too!"
"Although the old man is old, if he really loses his temper, everyone will know that the Sannin Jiraiya and Tsunade, conspired to poison and murder the Third Hokage?"
Upon hearing Jiraiya's explanation, Tsunade burst into laughter, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaning against the wall and panting heavily, stared at his two disciples with bloodshot eyes and roared hoarsely.
"Jiraiya! Tsunade! You! You will destroy Konoha!"
However, Jiraiya wanted to persuade the stubborn old man, but Tsunade didn't have that much patience. What happened back then had already eroded the bond between them, and it was already a favor that she hadn't personally beaten the old man.
"Come in, it's almost time."
A ninja with orange hair tied in a high, short ponytail parted to the side respectfully pushed open the door and entered.
"Yamanaka Fu greets Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade!"
He was wearing a brown sleeveless jacket with a short-sleeved outer garment, black gloves, black trousers, and a katana on his back.
Yamanaka Fu, Konoha Ninja who appeared at the Five Kage Summit in the original work, was one of Shimura Danzō's personal bodyguards and possessed great strength.
The Root has long since become the private property of Uchiha Yoru, and Yamanaka Fu has naturally become Uchiha Yoru's subordinate.
Upon entering, Yamanaka Fu first bowed respectfully to Jiraiya and Tsunade, then turned and bowed to the Third Hokage.
"I apologize, Third Hokage."
"You! What do you want to do!" The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, seemed to have figured something out, glaring angrily at his two disciples and the Konoha Ninja.
The Mind Body Switch Technique
In an instant, Yamanaka Fu cleanly and swiftly unleashed the Yamanaka Clan's secret technique upon the Third Hokage.
In his frustrated and angry outburst, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, trembled instantly, his pupils contracted, and his gaze became vacant.
Seeing this, Jiraiya couldn't help but show a worried expression, "Is Tsunade alright?"
"Don't worry, Jiraiya. I also added a drug to suppress mental power to this dose. With Yamanaka Fu's strength, there's absolutely no problem. Besides, you have your Five Elements Seal as insurance, don't you?"
Under Tsunade's knowing, teasing gaze, Jiraiya scratched his head in utter embarrassment, looking at his burning hands. Good heavens, all five fingers were red; how much force must that have taken?
"Tsunade / Lord Jiraiya".
In a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's dazed gaze returned to focus, revealing a respectful expression. It was clear that someone else had taken his place, replaced by Yamanaka Fu.
"You have three minutes to adjust to the numbness; I'll need you later."
Tsunade issued the order swiftly and decisively, and Yamanaka Fu nodded respectfully.
Meeting Room, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to move somewhat awkwardly. From being extremely uncoordinated at first, he gradually became almost like a normal person, demonstrating the control a ninja possesses.
It wasn't a problem with the Yamanaka Fu technique, but rather that Hiruzen Sarutobi's body was under anesthesia and naturally needed to adapt to it so that no one could tell.
In Konoha, under the bright sunshine, countless figures gathered in front of the Hokage Building, their expectant eyes fixed on the high platform.
"It's here! It's here!"
With a gasp of surprise, the crowd erupted in a clamor, and at the same time, envoys from various countries and villages showed expressions of excitement; they were finally about to emerge.
First, one by one, the Anbu Ninja appeared around the Hokage Building and began to be on guard against each other. At the same time, all the ninjas in Konoha solemnly observed their surroundings.
After all, this was the most important event in Konoha, and no one was allowed to cause trouble, especially since the envoys from various countries were surrounded by many times more Konoha Ninja for protection.
Any unusual movement would be met with the wrath of the Konoha Ninja.
On this day, all Konoha who entered the area around the Hokage Office Building for a visit were required to undergo identity verification and a search.
"Who is that? Is it the Mizukage?"
"Why is there Mizukage from Kirigakure here?"
As figures appeared one by one in the Hokage Building, those below who were unaware of the situation immediately began to discuss in astonishment.
The moment Mizukage Mei Terumi, wearing the Mizukage Hat, stepped out, she became the focus of everyone's attention, even the envoys from the various ninja villages were somewhat astonished.
Hehe, guess what identity Uchiha Yoru will appear in the Shinobi World. (Ahem, if you guess correctly, please screenshot your comment and the time, then join the subscription group and find me. The reward is dozens of gigabytes of Hokage study materials, you know what I mean.)
