The Winner Isn't You

"Just now, that was..."

Naruto's eyes widened.

"That aura... There's no mistake. It must have been Senjutsu." Jiraiya spoke with a solemn expression.

Naruto, who had also undergone training in Sage Mode, nodded. Yasuo's strength had completely overturned their understanding.

Nintaijutsu comparable to the Eight Inner Gates, peerless swordsmanship, and now Senjutsu, which he had used for the first time...

No wonder this guy traveled everywhere looking for powerful opponents to fight.

Strength like this couldn't have been achieved through ordinary cultivation alone. It had undoubtedly been honed through one battle after another.

Moreover, even the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki didn't seem to be Yasuo's match. Jiraiya could hardly imagine who in this world could defeat Yasuo.

Could the First Hokage do it?

Jiraiya suddenly lost confidence.

With such a demon king-level existence appearing, no one knew what kind of impact he would have on the entire shinobi world. Perhaps its entire structure would undergo tremendous changes because of him.

Unfortunately, whether this was a blessing or a disaster, they seemed unable to avoid it.

"Shisui, remember your mission. If the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki loses, try to control Yasuo with Kotoamatsukami. If you're not confident, don't force it. Find an opportunity to control Orochimaru first."

Shisui nodded seriously. Perhaps his Kotoamatsukami would ultimately decide the outcome of this war.

If he could turn Yasuo into one of their own, everything would of course end ahead of schedule.

Who knew whether Yasuo was still hiding other trump cards? Perhaps he had some way to render Kotoamatsukami ineffective, or some other method altogether.

He only had two chances. If Yasuo noticed, not only would he fail, but his own life would also be in danger.

If he directly tried to control Orochimaru with Kotoamatsukami, however, the chances of success
