"You all stay here and watch over Nanako. Tell me as soon as she wakes up. I'm going to write a letter to the Tsuchikage now."
Didaze looked at Reigyō and Watanabe Kawa and gave them some instructions.
"Understood, teacher!"
The two nodded.
Didaze then walked towards his tent.
His tent was built for him using Deido.
" Deido, I recite what you write."
After Didaze entered the tent, he waved his hand and summoned Deido over.
"Yes, Lord Didaze!"
Deido took out paper and pen, and then waited respectfully for Didaze to speak.
"Old man, I just killed one of the Sannin, and I'm pretty sure he won't survive this time."
Didaze said calmly.
As for Deido, his expression was so serious that he almost dropped the pen.
What did he just hear?
One of the Sannin is dead? And it's 100% certain he's really dead?
It hasn't even been that long, less than half a day in total, and the Sannin are already so easily defeated?
Deido saw that Didaze had stopped writing, he knew that Didaz had told him he could start writing.
Deido quickly wrote down Didaze's previous words.
"With such explosive news right from the start, I hope the later news won't make me lose my composure like this..."
Deido thought to himself, then silently wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
"Sir, please continue."
The Deido quickly finished writing Didaze's previous paragraph, then looked up at Didaze and said...
"There's someone on this battlefield who's mastered the Flying Thunder God. I need Kōdo to come help me. Also, Nanako should be able to awaken Wood Release, but she's still unconscious. She can only awaken it after she wakes up."
Didaze summed up the rest in the fewest possible words.
"Wood... Wood Release..."
The Deido people were a little confused.
He knew what Wood Release represented. Although he didn't know much about Hashirama Senju, he understood one thing.
That means Wood Release is Kekkei Genkai!
This means that another bloodline family will emerge in Iwagakure!
Deido quickly wrote it down; he truly hadn't expected Didaze to shock him twice in such a short time.
"Okay, go and deliver this letter to the Land of Earth, as fast as you can."
Didaze nodded slightly, then gave instructions to the Deido.
"Yes, Lord Didaze!"
The Deido bowed and slowly receded.
Half a day later
Iwagakure
Tsuchikage Office
" Didaze sent you with a message? The war has only just begun two days ago, what could be so urgent?"
Ōnoki frowned, not quite understanding why Didaze had sent him a letter so early.
Then Ōnoki opened the letter, and the more he read, the wider his mouth opened!
"Okay... okay!!"
Ōnoki jumped straight up from where the Tsuchikage was!
Deido quickly lowered his gaze, not daring to look at Ōnoki's discomfiture.
Ōnoki realized he had overreacted and quickly sat down.
"I've gotten a little emotional..."
After sitting down, Ōnoki took two deep breaths and said...
He hadn't lost his composure like this in many years.
But the significance of Wood Release was just too great; he simply couldn't resist!
That's the First Hokage's Ninjutsu! The First Hokage! He was the one who could dominate all the ninja villages!
Hashirama Senju back then because of his benevolence, but Iwagakure will not repeat the same mistake!
With Didaze's Explosion Release and Nanako's Wood Release, Iwagakure's unification of the Shinobi World is just around the corner!
Onoki even forgot about the death of one of the Legendary Sannin.
Ōnoki was now excitedly daydreaming in his mind, as if Iwagakure had already unified the Shinobi World.
" Nanako is still unconscious. No, I must go there myself!"
Ōnoki suddenly became somewhat agitated.
Nanako has truly Ōnoki's darling now.
He possesses the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, is a natural-born master of Sealing Jutsu, and has also awakened the Wood Release.
You could say that even if Nanako plucked all of Ōnoki's beard off Ōnoki would still smile and say it was a good thing.
" Lord Tsuchikage, please reconsider!"
The Deido, which had been bowing its head, raised its head and quickly spoke.
"You're the only one left in the village. If you leave now, and the Sunagakure attacks, there will be no one to protect the village!"
Deido quickly said to Ōnoki, after all, Iwagakure Sunagakure Iwagakure.
"You're right..."
These words calmed Ōnoki's excited heart somewhat.
"Reply to Didaze and tell Roshi to come back. I'm going to the battlefield!"
Ōnoki is preparing to go to the battlefield himself.
His strength is also much greater than that of Roshi; at least in a one-on-one fight, Roshi would definitely be beaten to a pulp by Ōnoki.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage."
The Deido bowed in response.
Go!
Ōnoki nodded; he couldn't wait to go to the battlefield to see Nanako.
He could also offer Nanako some ideas, after all, he had once witnessed Hashirama Senju unleash Wood Release.
Although it's just the most basic Wood Release, it's still much better Nanako figuring it out on her own.
Mount Myōboku
"You two have finally recovered..."
The Sage Fukasaku looked at the two who were slowly opening their eyes and said.
Nanoscale Bomb are really difficult to remove; it took them a full half day to clear Nanoscale Bomb all away.
" Jiraiya, he..."
Tsunade started crying as soon as she opened her eyes.
She was busy removing the Nanoscale Bomb from her body and didn't have time to mourn Jiraiya.
After all, if she stopped, she could go directly to the Pure Land to see Jiraiya after the explosion.
Orochimaru remained silent, staring blankly at the sky.
For the first time, he felt the fragility of life.
Jiraiya, who was laughing and joking with him yesterday, is now completely dead in the blink of an eye.
Life... is so fragile...
Orochimaru muttered to himself.
" The Great Toad Sage wants you to go there!"
Just as the two were feeling lost and crying, a Toad jumped over and said...
"Good!"
"You two, don't be sad. Jiraiya was able to save you, so he should be happy too. Come with me to see the Great Toad Sage!"
Although Sage Fukasaku was also very sad, he still comforted Tsunade and Orochimaru.
Meanwhile, Sage Shima was wiping away tears.
The Sage Fukasaku had no choice but to shoulder the burden alone.
"Let's go, Tsunade."
Orochimaru stood up, seemingly unmoved by Jiraiya's death.
Orochimaru, Jiraiya really that insignificant to you?!
Tsunade felt anger as she looked at Orochimaru's indifferent expression.
When news of Orochimaru's Orochimaru first arrived, Jiraiya was heartbroken for a long time!
But now the situation is reversed; Orochimaru doesn't seem sad at all for Jiraiya?
" Tsunade!"
Orochimaru suddenly raised his voice.
" Jiraiya chose to die so that we could live. He didn't want to see us angry or sad; he simply didn't want us to die."
Orochimaru's expression was solemn.
Let's go!
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he didn't look back at Tsunade again and followed Sage Fukasaku away.
