Jiraiya Discovers the Truth and Heads to the Utatane Clan

.

"Why were so many people willing to follow Xuanyu?"

Tsunade repeated Jiraiya's words, but her heart was shaken. No... it was more than that. She was stunned. Right... Were Senju Hanayu and Zhong Kui really so respectful toward Xuanyu only because they owed him a debt of gratitude?

Could there really be nothing else mixed into it?

So Jiraiya was right. For them to be so respectful... Xuanyu had to possess something extraordinary.

Because—

From what she had seen, Senju Hanayu and Zhong Kui's strength had definitely surpassed that of ordinary Kage Level shinobi. To make people like that follow him so wholeheartedly, gratitude alone probably wasn't enough!

However—

Although Tsunade had guessed part of it right, if Zhong Kui and Senju Hanayu heard her, they would definitely refute her. The reason they respected Xuanyu was not because of his strength. It truly was because of gratitude.

When they had been backed into a corner with nowhere left to turn, Xuanyu had given them hope of survival.

The hope to truly live on.

And they were sincerely willing to give everything for Xuanyu.

"So many people?" Jiraiya's ears twitched. Looking at Tsunade, he said, "Isn't there just that kid beside Xuanyu who can use a Gravity Domain?"

Even now—

Jiraiya still couldn't forget Zhong Kui!

If it hadn't been for Zhong Kui, he wouldn't have been captured, nor would his reputation have been ruined to the point where he truly became the Perverted Sage.

"No, that Wood Release user who caught the Meteorite also obeyed Xuanyu's orders and respected and acknowledged him without reservation!" As Tsunade spoke, regret appeared in her eyes.

Senju Hanayu was the finest member of the Senju Clan she had ever seen, yet in the end... she had followed Uchiha Xuan Yu!
