Chapter 128 » Tsunade's Shock! An Elixir of Eternal Youth?!

[ The final exam of the Chunin Exams has begun! ]

[ The first match pits Naruto Uzumaki Vs Neji Hyuga. Despite Neji's boastful attitude in the arena, Naruto's overwhelmingly powerful Nine-Tails chakra defeats him in a single round! ]

[ Naruto Uzumaki emerges victorious in the first match! ]

[ From the highest viewing stand, Hiruzen's expression grows serious as he witnesses the Nine-Tails chakra erupting from the blond boy. ]

[ "Could it be that Naruto can already harness the Nine-Tails' power? If so... might this spell a new disaster for Konoha?" Hiruzen ponders deeply. ]

[ The second match, Shino Aburame Vs Kankuro from Sunagakure, ends abruptly when Kankuro, focused on his mission, forfeits without fighting. ]

[ Shino Aburame claims victory in the second match! ]

[ The third match unfolds as expected, with Shikamaru Nara Vs Temari. In the end, Shikamaru manages to control her but chooses to forfeit. ]

[ Now, it's time for the most anticipated battle! ]

[ The Uchiha clan's strongest prodigy, Sasuke Uchiha Vs Gaara of the Sand Waterfall from Sunagakure! ]

[ Sasuke and Gaara enter the arena, their eyes locked on each other. Their goals are simple: defeat the opponent. It's their sole objective at this moment! ]

[ Sasuke, his corruption progress already at sixty percent, remains eerily calm as he launches the first attack against his oponent. Despite Gaara's strength, Sasuke exudes absolute confidence in his abilities, believing he can vanquish the red-haired foe before him! ]

[ Both sides engage in an incredibly fierce battle, the fight nothing short of spectacular! As Sasuke's strength rapidly improves, he gains a slight edge over Gaara, who has yet to fully unleash his power! ]

[ Finally, Sasuke breaches his defense, inflicting considerable damage! Enraged, Gaara descends into uncontrollable fury! ]

[ "I'll kill you, Sasuke!" Gaara roars, his anger beyond measure. He decides to fully unleash the One-Tail within him! ]

[ He gathers the surrounding sand, forming a protective sphere around his body. ]

[ Sasuke laughs coldly, concentrating his Chidori in hand. Once fully formed, he launches a frenzied attack at Gaara without hesitation! ]

[ Chidori! ]

[ The razor-sharp Chidori easily pierces Gaara's defensive sphere! Terrifyingly powerful chakra begins to leak out, yet Sasuke's face remains fearless! ]

[ Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage in the viewing stand, notices the change in situation and immediately begins executing his plan to destroy Konoha! ]

[ Gaara falls unconscious, unable to actively release Shukaku's full power. Kankuro and Temari swiftly arrive, whisking him away. ]

[ Sasuke frowns at this sight and quickly gives chase! ]

[ Naruto also wants to follow, but his dark personality coldly interjects, "You don't have time to chase Sasuke now. Find the Third Hokage and ask about your parents' whereabouts! You might never get another chance!" ]

[ Heeding his dark side's words, Naruto grits his teeth and rushes towards the top viewing stand. ]

[ By now, the Sound Four have completed the Four Violet Flames Formation barrier. Naruto arrives outside it. ]

[ "Grandpa Third!" Naruto shouts towards Hiruzen inside the barrier, "I know this isn't the right time, but... I want to know — who are my parents?" ]

[ "Naruto... now is not the time to discuss this. You should leave quickly!" Hiruzen says in a low voice. ]

[ Orochimaru, however, looks at Naruto with great interest, having encountered the boy before. He knows Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. ]

[ Sneering, Orochimaru says, "Sensei, it seems Naruto Uzumaki is unaware of his own background... How truly tragic!" ]

[ "Orochimaru! Cease this nonsense!" Hiruzen's face turns cold at these words. ]

[ Seeing this reaction, Naruto instantly realizes there are indeed things he doesn't know. ]

[ "Go on, ask. Seek the truth!" His dark personality gently urges. ]

[ "Hey, you! Your name's Orochimaru, right? Do you know about my background?" Naruto shouts at the Snake Man. ]

[ "Of course I do." Orochimaru smiles coldly, "You... are Naruto Uzumaki, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki! Son of Konohagakure's Fourth Hokage!" ]

[ "Orochimaru! Silence yourself this instant!" Hiruzen roars, now furious. ]

[ Upon hearing these words, Naruto's mind suddenly explodes. ]

[ Naruto Uzumaki's Corruption Progress: 80% ]

Yusuke nodded with great satisfaction.

It made sense when he thought about it. Naruto was clearly the Fourth Hokage's son, and the Fourth was a hero who had saved the village. It seemed impossible that Naruto wouldn't have known anything about the man throughout his life.

In fact, Naruto had eagerly aspired to become a man like the Fourth Hokage himself! He had always been working hard to achieve his dream of becoming Hokage.

However, the revelation that he was the Fourth's son came as a shock even to Naruto himself. Moreover, he had always been neglected by the villagers around him! It was only because of his unique character that he hadn't turned to the dark side despite these circumstances.

If this had happened to anyone else, could they still love and respect this ninja village that had deceived them for over a decade as Naruto did?

Not to mention, he had endured cold stares and discrimination for over a decade — even though he was the son of a hero!

[ "Orochimaru! Cease this nonsense at once!" Hiruzen roared, his anger palpable. For over a decade, he had guarded this secret, never imagining Orochimaru would expose it today. ]

[ "My, my, sensei." Orochimaru said, shaking his head with mock sympathy, "It seems you've kept Naruto Uzumaki in the dark all this time. How tragic. The boy who deserved to know everything has been deceived by you until now. What a pitiful, lamentable situation!" ]

[ Confusion clouded Naruto's eyes as he turned to Hiruzen, "Old Man Third!" He pleaded, "Is what he's saying true? I need to hear the truth from you!" ]

[ Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage fell into a heavy silence. In this crucial moment, he found himself with no choice but to remain mute. ]

[ There was simply no other option. ]

In crucial moments, he chooses silence! As expected of you, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Yusuke let out a soft sigh, 'It's not that I want to criticize you... The key point is, you've handled this matter so unethically!'

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Mikoto gently shifted her body atop him. She had been tenderly caressing the area around his ribs.

Noticing his distraction, she asked coyly, "What's the matter? You seem quite lost today..."

She had been observing him for some time now. They'd spent practically the entire day together, alternating between rest and passionate "work". After waking from a recent nap, she'd been keenly watching his every expression.

Having considered several possibilities but reaching no conclusion, she finally voiced her curiosity after his sigh.

"It's nothing much, really." Yusuke reassured her with a smile. He cupped her cheeks and gave her a kiss, "Sometimes I just ponder about the village and other matters. Nothing to worry about."

As Mikoto nodded between kisses, the atmosphere between them grew more heated, their tongues intertwining passionately. Just as they were about to go further, she glanced at the window while Yusuke was nibbling her neck, realizing it had grown dark outside.

"Master~ It's getting late, you know." She murmured.

Yusuke heard this and lifted the carriage curtain slightly. Has the simulation already progressed to nighttime?

"Hmm. It is indeed getting late." He said with a gentle smile. Then he called out to the women outside, "Tsunade, Kushina. Let's end today's travel here."

"Yes." Came their reluctant reply.

Outside the carriage, astride their horses, both women seethed with anger at Yusuke's orders. However, they had no choice but to comply.

After settling in a nearby town, Mikoto, who had been inside the carriage, finally emerged. When Tsunade and Kushina saw her, their eyes widened in amazement.

"My goodness... Sister Mikoto, you look... different from yesterday! How did your skin become so radiant?" Kushina exclaimed in astonishment.

"Not really... not really..." Mikoto responded, her face immediately flushing.

After all, the credit for this went entirely to the pink Elixir of Eternal Youth that Yusuke had given her.

At this moment, Tsunade also noticed something unusual about her. As an exceptionally skilled medical ninja, she sensed something strange.

She quickly approached Mikoto, grasping her hands and infusing her own chakra to examine her carefully. The initial sensing was fine, but as she delved deeper, she was startled!

"This — what's going on? How can the cellular chakra activity be so high? It's clearly exceeding the normal state of ordinary people..." Tsunade's eyes widened, her light brown pupils revealing intense contemplation.

Mikoto hesitated for a moment, then decided it was okay to share the truth, "Well, I received an Elixir of Eternal Youth."

After all, they were all sisters.

Upon hearing her words, both Tsunade and Kushina's breathing quickened.

"An Elixir of Eternal Youth?!" Tsunade exclaimed, the most excited of them all.

After all, she had to rely constantly on her Strength of a Hundred Seal to maintain her youthful appearance. She had just examined Mikoto's body and found that her cells were indeed maintaining a highly active state!

This was truly the peak state! As a medical ninja, Tsunade knew that cell activity could only reach this level at its absolute pinnacle.

In other words, Mikoto was now truly eternally youthful?!

Envy! At this moment, Tsunade's face was filled with intense jealousy! This elixir was even more alluring than the Strength of a Hundred Seal. After all, her jutsu required constant chakra absorption to maintain, but this method allowed the body itself to preserve youth.

This was an entirely different concept!

"Mikoto, this thing... How did he give it to you? Are there... any conditions?" Tsunade asked, biting her lip as she glanced at the carriage behind her.

She knew that Yusuke could occasionally concoct some bizarre things. Obviously, this Elixir of Eternal Youth was one of them!

At this moment, Kushina also looked over curiously.

After all, among things that could interest women, this kind of magical Elixir of Eternal Youth would definitely rank first!
