Red Moon's Strength

The Yin Seal pattern on Naraku's chest was released, extending across Naraku body, and at the same time, his depleted Chakra was rapidly restored to full.

Because the Yin Seal was not visible through his clothes, only some black lines could be seen spreading across Naraku's body on the shoulders and neck of his vest.

The masked ninjas seemed to know nothing of fear; their ninja tools were ineffective against Naraku, and their unleashed Ninjutsu inexplicably dissipated.

They all drew their swords and charged towards Naraku, preparing for close-quarters combat.

After Naraku completed the Hand Seals Yin Seal: Release, the Yin Seal absorbed the excess Chakra that had been stored up for several months, enough to fully restore Naraku's Chakra.

Naraku formed hand Hand Seals and performed Ninjutsu; with just three seals, dense black clouds appeared around his body.

"Storm Release: Thundercloud Resonance!"

Lightning flashed from the dark clouds, shooting towards the Masked Ninja who were charging towards them.

Without hesitation, the Masked Ninja retreated, changed formation, and ran in several different directions towards Naraku.

"Um?"

Naraku unleashed Ninjutsu, summoning a few henchmen. Before they knew it, countless tiny sprouts broke through the soil, and as soon as they broke through, they sprouted and grew rapidly.

The slender trunk quickly took shape, then expanded into a giant emerald green serpent, with branches, leaves, and flowers sprouting, Naraku.

Naraku's method of absorbing Chakra to strengthen his Ninjutsu has completely failed. These sprouts are also absorbing Naraku's Chakra and Ninjutsu, and with each other canceling each other out, they are all fighting for their own Chakra reserves.

"Aroma?"

Naraku, brimming with Chakra, leaped through the rapidly growing forest. This time, the forest's growth was even more bizarre, with vibrant flowers blooming on its sprawling branches.

The flowers went from being buds to blooming in less than two seconds, releasing a strong fragrance.

"The Deep Forest Bloom? Oh no!"

When Naraku realized something was wrong, his head was already spinning. He covered his mouth and nose with his left hand and pressed his right hand against his chest, using the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique to draw out the toxins.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!"

Four masked ninjas, taking advantage of the fact that the Red Moon was once again entangling its target, quickly spread out in the four directions of east, west, south, and north, and once again set up a barrier.

After Naraku extracted the poison, he conjured the Chidori Sharp Spear in his right hand and slashed at the nearest Four Violet Flames Formation, creating an opening. Before Naraku could even crawl out...

Countless tree branches blocked the opening, shooting towards Naraku and entwining him. More importantly, the branches were covered with fragrant flowers.

The red-haired man stood expressionless on a tree branch, his hands Hand Seals.

"Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"

After the man finished releasing his Ninjutsu, Chakra Chakra surged, enveloping the Four Violet Flames Formation like twilight. Naraku's vision went black, and he could see nothing.

Naraku immediately felt himself being entangled and bound by trees, the branches tightening until Naraku could no longer move.

At the same time, Naraku's Chakra was also constantly draining away, and the fragrance seeped into his nose and mouth, causing his mind to become dizzy.

"Genjutsu that even the Sharingan can't see through!"

Naraku his strength, his Sharingan emitting an eerie red light, but he was unable to unravel the mystery.

His Chakra surged violently, which he couldn't break. The Chakra Armor injected Chakra into Naraku's body, causing the dark environment to shake, sometimes black, sometimes turning into the blue of Chakra.

"Stop struggling, Uchiha Nara. Surrender, or I'll have no choice but to kill you."

Red Moon was naked, his black ninja pants tattered and barely covering his body, making him look somewhat comical.

However, Red Moon's expression was indifferent, his words were cold, but the aura he exuded was extremely powerful, making him look like a peerless master.

Naraku chakra into the Chakra Armor, Chakra Armor then channeled it back into Naraku in a loop. After several cycles, the Genjutsu was finally broken, and his vision Seimei.

The rhombus-shaped marks on Naraku's palms constantly absorb the surrounding Chakra. The absorption speed is not slow, but the rate at which his own Chakra is depleted is even faster, especially after he is bound and captured.

Although Naraku's mind was foggy, he still heard the words of the person in front of him, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:

You can't kill me.

Naraku's eyes were bloodshot, flashing with an eerie red light.

Red Moon faithfully carried out Danzo's arrest order; if he could not capture the enemy, he was to annihilate them. At this moment, on the surface, the capture was successful.

But suddenly, an order from Danzo's command center came to his mind.

"Red Moon, kill him! Stop the capture mission, killing Uchiha Nara the top priority!"

Upon receiving the message, Red Moon remained expressionless and formed hand Hand Seals.

From the tree branches that bound Naraku, as if paper had fallen away, large numbers of Explosive Tag emerged.

Hiss hiss hiss

The sound of the Explosive Tag igniting rang in Naraku's ears. Naraku just broken the Genjutsu Darkness Technique, but at the same time, his hands and feet were bound and he could not move, putting him in a desperate situation.

"Ninja Technique: Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"

Land of Fire

Tanzaku Town

Inside a casino, a blonde woman dressed in green stands in front of a gambling table, staring intently at the dice on it.

"Big! Big! Big!"

Tsunade couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Four, four, five, thirteen points, big!"

The dealer opened the lid, revealing the dice inside, and sure enough, it was a big one.

"Hahahaha! Good, good, good!"

Tsunade couldn't help but burst into laughter. She hadn't lost a single bet today, winning back everything she had lost in the previous period.

"The God of Gamblers!"

"Is this guy cheating? How come he wins every single round?!"

"Are you stupid?! Of course you should bet along with them!"

The gamblers nearby were buzzing with discussion about the blonde woman who won after betting ten times in a row.

"Let's see what she bets next! She can't possibly bet on 'big' again!"

"I don't know, just wait and see! He's won ten rounds in a row betting on 'big,' he can't possibly bet on 'big' again!"

The gamblers nearby planned to follow Tsunade and place their bets.

Tsunade dominated the casino, winning big and making a fortune, much to the delight of those Tsunade had been losing for over ten days.

After refusing the Third Hokage Tsunade's mission, Tsunade grew tired of the oppressive village and left a letter for her lover, Naraku, advising Naraku not to compete for Hokage and reminding Naraku to be careful.

Tsunade promised Sarutobi Hiruzen it a secret, but as his Tsunade, she also dared not reveal the Third Hokage's sordid deeds, as doing so would be tantamount to betraying her teacher who regarded the village as his home.

So he had no choice but to leave the village with his assistant and disciple, Shizune. For more than half a month, they traveled to several large towns, and lost all the money they had brought with them.

Tsunade, who had left the village to clear her head, found her mood even worse. She decided to try her luck at Tanzaku Town, the largest gambling city in the Land of Fire, and unexpectedly, her luck exploded, winning a fortune.

Tsunade, who was all smiles, suddenly realized something, her smile faded, she exchanged her chips for cash, and left the casino.

"Hey! God of Gamblers! Don't go!"

"Let's bet one more time!"

The gamblers, upon learning of the God of Gamblers' departure, urged Tsunade to place one more bet.

Tsunade frowned, realizing that her luck was a bit off after winning so many games, and she felt uneasy.

Tsunade touched her stomach, revealing an unusually gentle expression.

"It's time for the teacher to step down. I should fully support Naraku; he's the child's father..."

Thinking about her luck at the casino, Tsunade frowned again, her eyes showing some vulnerability.

According to Tsunade's memory, every time she won money, something bad would happen.

"Naraku, he's mastered my Ninjutsu. There shouldn't be anyone in the world who can kill him..."

Tsunade's thoughts were complicated, and her face was full of worry.

"Accepting the Hokage appointment means going to the Capital City. Capital City Naraku a surprise there wouldn't be a bad idea..."
