Urashiki suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He saw that he had captured the Nine-Tails and was about to use Nine-Tails as a pill.
"Wrong."
At this moment, Urashiki realized something was wrong. He had just been fighting, how could he be enjoying the spoils of victory all of a sudden? Urashiki quickly realized that he might be under Genjutsu. He rapidly circulated his internal energy to break through the Genjutsu's creation. Breaking Genjutsu is simple in some ways, but difficult in others. If your Chakra level is far higher than the caster's, it's easy; otherwise, you might be outmaneuvered and killed by the caster.
"Um."
Uchiha Itachi staggered back a few steps, the backlash of the Genjutsu taking effect on him, with specks of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Sasuke saw his brother inexplicably injured and quickly asked what was wrong. Because Sasuke was behind Itachi, he didn't see Itachi use Genjutsu on Urashiki.
"It's alright, Sasuke. Don't worry."
Tsunade escaped Urashiki's attack thanks to Itachi's Genjutsu and quickly retreated out of Urashiki's attack range.
"You white-haired brat, how dare you bully my woman!"
While Tsunade and Urashiki were fighting, Jiraiya entered Sage Mode with the help of the two Toad Sages. He had just prepared when he saw Urashiki attack Tsunade. The distance was too great for Jiraiya to intervene in time. Fortunately, the Uchiha's Genjutsu saved Tsunade from harm. Therefore, Jiraiya roared at Urashiki with great anger.
Jiraiya's words shocked everyone present. Apart from Urashiki, everyone present admired Jiraiya's audacity. To dare to say to Tsunade that she was Jiraiya woman, only Jiraiya could do such a thing.
"That Pervy Sage is quite brave!"
Naruto said blankly. He had witnessed how Tsunade had brutally beaten Jiraiya, to the point of wanting to kill him! Could it be that the Pervy Sage had masochistic tendencies?
"Um."
Having witnessed Tsunade's fiery temper during Boruto's time, he largely agrees with Naruto's words.
Tsunade herself was furious with Jiraiya. This bastard dared to declare himself her woman in public! How could Tsunade not be enraged? This was clearly a fait accompli; he hadn't informed her beforehand. After Jiraiya's visit to the Police Force, he became even more persistent and shameless.
After entering Sage Mode and defeating Jiraiya, his combat power increased dramatically, Jiraiya to become one of the Ninja World Sannin. He was a top-tier ninja in both Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
Jiraiya and Urashiki fought fiercely, but the shockwaves from their battle caused constant destruction.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Boruto spoke up. He hadn't expected the Pervy Sage his father had described to be so powerful.
What was that sound?
Minato, who was eating with Kushina, heard the villagers talking outside the shop and quickly ran out to see what was going on.
"That's a training ground; someone's probably practicing there!"
"Everyone, disperse, someone is cultivating there."
Police Force officers responsible for maintaining order came out to evacuate the villagers. After all, it's human nature to watch a spectacle, and they couldn't guarantee that no one would be brave enough to go and investigate.
Karot had already met with Orochimaru the moment Urashiki appeared. Orochimaru then gave the order for the Police Force to keep a close watch on the training grounds and prevent anyone from entering.
"It seems the enemy has arrived."
Minato noticed that members of the Anbu were also cooperating with the Police Force. After all, Minato was now the captain of the Anbu, and he knew all his subordinates.
"Captain, Lord Hokage's order."
The member of the Anbu knelt on one knee in front of Minato, presenting a scroll with both hands.
Minato used a secret method to open the scroll, which contained only a single sentence.
You are free to move around.
Once Minato saw what was inside, he knew what he had to do.
Orochimaru sending the scroll meant that he could confidently go and support Naruto, and that there wouldn't be any problems with Kushina's side.
After Minato finished reading the scroll, it spontaneously combusted. The secrecy was exceptionally well maintained. Minato then turned and entered the shop.
"Honey, the Lord Hokage is looking for me. I need to go over there."
"Go on! You've spent so many days with me. It's time to start earning money to support the family."
Kushina waved her hand dismissively. She had seen the Anbu come to see Minato. Orochimaru wouldn't send out the Anbu unless it was something important. This was the Hokage's usual practice, Kushina believed she understood it well.
"Not earlier, not later. As soon as the explosion happens, Minato has to leave."
Fugaku Uchiha was thinking deeply; he felt that Minato's departure was inextricably linked to the explosion earlier. However, Fugaku Uchiha currently lacked Orochimaru's trust, so he had no choice but to stay put. Ask any ninja at their peak; who would willingly sit on the sidelines?
"Brush."
The Minato vanished from its spot in an instant.
"Orochimaru- senpai, aren't you going to come and offer some guidance?"
Karot sat casually on the sofa in the Hokage's office; only Karot dared to do that now. As Orochimaru Hokage, his aura grew increasingly imposing, making others wary in his presence.
"Didn't you say that the last one to appear is the strongest?"
Orochimaru didn't care at all about Karot's teasing; after all, that's how the two of them had always interacted since they met.
"Thump, thump."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
As Orochimaru responded, the door was opened from the outside.
"Lord Hokage"
"Senior Karot"
The newcomer was none other than Uchiha Shisui, one of Orochimaru's current confidants.
Before Orochimaru could speak, Karot spoke first.
"Shisui! Now that you're here, you can't escape."
Karot is very vengeful; he narrowly escaped Shisui last time, but he won't let that happen again this time.
Karot's mischievous smile made Shisui's heart pound.
Orochimaru watched the two of them speaking in cryptic language in front of him, and couldn't help but cast a puzzled expression at them.
"Are these two having some kind of affair that they're hiding from me?"
After Orochimaru finished the fight, his wild imagination ran wild; the seemingly repressed snake's imagination was beyond imagination.
"Shisui, can you use your Kotoamatsukami now?"
Orochimaru asked, after all, this was the most crucial step in their plan; physical conquest was far less important than spiritual conquest.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Hearing Shisui's reply, Orochimaru's plan was perfect. Orochimaru had already devised many plans, with a success rate of up to 90% in capturing Urashiki. Whether it was overt, covert, or underhanded, Orochimaru would use Orochimaru that could work, since the opponent was an enemy.
Only the person with great strength and intelligence knows what they are capable of doing.
