The light in the cell returned to calm.
Asuma was kneeling on the Stone Slab ground, his arms were cut behind his back, and a pair of brand new iron cuffs were locked on his wrists. His whole body Chakra was also completely sealed.
Zhan Zhao stood up straight and took two steps back. Wang Chao Kazuma Han held Asuma's arms from left to right and pulled him up from the ground.
Asuma's back was slightly arched, and his knees were still sore from being bent just now. The iron chain under his feet was dragging on Stone Slab, making a sporadic sound.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on the inside of the iron fence, holding the crossbar with both hands, his knuckles raised, and his eyes glowed with a red glow in the dim light of the torch.
His eyes were fixed on Asuma, and the breath in his throat seemed to be stuck on a chicken bone. He couldn't spit it out and couldn't swallow it. He paused for two full breaths before squeezing out a sound through his teeth.
"Uchiha Yongye, Asuma are innocent, please don't mess around!"
Yongye Shadow Clone stood at the door of the cell, his hands in his trouser pockets, his shoulders leaning against the door frame, his posture casual.
He did not speak, but raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and pointed at the several severed Chain fragments on the ground.
The metal at the fracture is uneven, with fresh bright marks glowing in the dim light of the torch. It was just cut by Chakra Blade.
This is ironclad evidence of a prison robbery, no need to talk nonsense.
Asuma's eyes also fell on those fragments.
His lips moved, and the argument that had reached his throat was swallowed back. His eyes moved away from the broken chain and fell on his feet.
He hesitated in his heart, but he did take action.
Hiruzen Sarutobi Looking at the broken chains, his fingers tightened on the crossbar.
"Uchiha Yongye, I am the one who has a grudge against you, and it has nothing to do with Asuma! You have a lot of money, don't argue with him. Even if I die, I will still miss you!"
Utatane Koharu stood up from the edge of the stone platform. His knees were weak and he held on to the wall to stand firm.
She had a flattering look on her face. "Please let me go! I can give you money, lots and lots of money!"
Mitokado Homura stood next to Utatane Koharu and knelt down to beg.
"Yongye Master, don't interrogate me publicly. I was confused for a moment! I will never dare to do it again! You can do whatever you want from me!"
Yongye's eyes swept across the faces of the three people in turn, from left to right, from right to left, and then fell back on Asuma's face.
Asuma lowered his head, his face full of shame and confusion.
Yongye smiled disdainfully, turned around and left.
Zhan Zhao The three of them saw this scene in front of their eyes, and they were happy and speechless: it was these soft bones that actually weighed them down Uchiha, and they didn't even dare to fart!
Really, this is unreasonable!
What a shame!
The moonlight filtered in through the window, spreading a dull gray on the floor.
Jiraiya is sitting next to the low table in the center of the room, with a Ninja Tool Pouch spread out on his lap. The table is filled with various combat materials and supplies.
He stared at the things on the table and muttered to himself.
"Teacher Sarutobi must be rescued, he was wrongly accused!"
"Great Toad Sage said, Uchiha Yongye is Mastermind."
"Use Sage Mode directly for a quick victory!"
"Then run to Mount Myōboku! I don't believe it, Uchiha Yongye dares to be so arrogant to Great Toad Sage!"
He gritted his teeth, put all the combat supplies into Ninja Tool Pouch, then pushed Ninja Tool Pouch to the corner of the table, raised his hands, and closed them in front of his chest.
The ten fingers are crossed and separated, the thumbs are facing each other, and the tiger's mouth is pressed together. Chakra pours out from Dantian and climbs up along Meridians.
Quickly Hand Seals... face your palms forward, and then slam the ground!
Bang.
White smoke exploded, billowing in the moonlight for a moment and then quickly dissipating. A palm-sized shadow rolled out of the smoke, somersaulted on the ground, landed on the low table, landed on its back, and kicked up twice with its four paws before turning over.
A little Toad squatted on the table, with a dark brown back and a light beige belly. Its two big eyes blinked again and again in the moonlight.
Jiraiya stared at the Toad, his hand still maintained the posture of Hand Seals, and the muscles on his knuckles were stiff.
His eyes swept from Toad's head to his toes, and then from his toes back to the top of his head. His expression was like that of a scientist seeing Ah Piao in broad daylight.
"Who are you? The ones I want to summon are Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima."
Little Toad squatted on the table and rubbed its front paws on its swollen belly. Its voice was much softer than that of Sage Fukasaku, like the sound of an immature grass stem blown by the wind.
"I am Gamatatsu. Lord Jiraiya, your Chakra..."
It didn't finish the sentence, but the pause itself was enough.
Jiraiya loosened his fingers from Hand Seals's state, feeling horrified in his heart.
He noticed that the flow rate of his Chakra was more than half slower than usual. It was like a river where someone built a dam upstream. The flow was still there, but the water volume and flow rate were reduced to a fraction of the original.
What's even worse is that as he became aware of it, the flow of Chakra became even slower, and even his physical strength was quickly lost.
His pupils shrank in the moonlight, then slowly expanded.
"She was poisoned... when? Who was it?"
The door was pushed open, and the sound of the wooden shaft turning was particularly clear in the quiet room. Tsunade stood at the door, with a golden ponytail hanging down from behind his shoulders, glowing with a dark silver edge under the moonlight.
She was wearing regular clothes, not that Hokage Robe, but she still looked down at Jiraiya with a bird's eye view.
"I was the one who poisoned you."
"Konoha It's already messy enough, I can't let you add fuel to the fire."
"Also, don't underestimate Uchiha Yongye! Even if you use Sage Mode, you are going to die!"
Jiraiya struggled to get up from behind the low table.
His knees left Tatami, his elbows propped up the table, and he barely stood up straight. His eyes were fixed on Tsunade's face, and the silvery white reflected by the moonlight in his pupils was suppressed by a dark color rising from the depths.
"You want to watch Teacher Sarutobi be executed in public?"
"Is this how you become a student?"
Tsunade stepped into the room and met Jiraiya's gaze without flinching or showing weakness.
"Uchiha Yongye has a mantra that I quite agree with: when you make a mistake, you must admit it, and when you are beaten, you must stand upright."
"If a teacher makes a big mistake, he has to pay the price!"
"Besides, in the ninja world, is there ever a day when no one dies?"
"If the teacher can live to this age, he has already defeated 99% of people."
"There's no need for you to risk your own life!"
"Have a good sleep. When you wake up, everything will be a new beginning!"
After Tsunade finished speaking, he looked out the door and wanted to turn around and leave.
Jiraiya felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he might faint at any time, and shouted in panic:
"No, it can't be like this!"
"At least... let me watch the teacher's last journey!"
Tsunade looked away from the door, fell on Jiraiya's face, and paused for two breaths. Then she nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the door.
"Okay, I'll take you there then... remember, just watch!"
