Chapter 131: The Fight for Tsunade Begins
Jiraiya's expression was solemn as he looked at Naruto. "Was the disturbance just now caused by you two?"
Hearing this, Naruto glanced at Sasuke. "Ah!"
So it was these two kids who caused the commotion!
Jiraiya was astonished.
When he felt that storm, he thought a powerful ninja had suddenly appeared!
But it turned out to be Naruto and Sasuke meeting each other?
The current lower-ranked ninjas seemed a bit too powerful.
To think that the disturbance of that magnitude came from these two kids—it was hard to believe!
But now, seeing their stance, it didn't seem too strange that their battle would create such a commotion.
Taking a step forward, Jiraiya adjusted his breathing. "Naruto, be careful. The guy beside Sasuke is Orochimaru. He's the one who set the Konoha Crush plan in motion!"
"I'll handle Orochimaru. You have no problem dealing with Sasuke, right?"
"No!"
What?
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment as Naruto stood in front of him.
"Perverted Sage, you should rest. Your injuries won't hold up for a fierce battle!"
Hearing this, Jiraiya felt a bit moved. He hadn't expected Naruto to say something like that.
But even though Naruto could control the Nine-Tails' chakra now, he was still facing the genius of the Uchiha clan.
A monster who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and on top of that, Orochimaru.
Even as the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, it would be difficult to deal with both of them at the same time!
Orochimaru furrowed his brow, considering how to deal with Jiraiya.
Sasuke also spoke up. "Leave this to me. Take care of Tsunade!"
Orochimaru was taken aback. Was Sasuke concerned about him?
But after thinking for a moment, Orochimaru understood—Sasuke was probably worried that if he fought, it would expose the fact that his arms were already crippled!
If that happened, Tsunade wouldn't agree to treat him.
Although Sasuke's real reason was here, Orochimaru still looked at Sasuke quietly from behind.
There was a complicated expression in his eyes.
"Alright."
"But the best course of action is to leave with Tsunade as soon as possible!"
"If Jiraiya really risks his life to keep us here, it's going to be hard for us to leave."
Even if Sasuke activated his Lightning Release: God Speed state, Orochimaru still felt that escaping from Jiraiya wouldn't be easy.
Not to mention, there was also a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki nearby.
A Jinchūriki who could control the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Although they didn't know exactly how much chakra Naruto could control, even just a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra wouldn't be easy to handle.
"I know!"
"I'll take action when the opportunity comes. Be ready; we'll leave at any time!"
With that, Sasuke gently moved his neck, his gaze sweeping over Tsunade before returning to Naruto.
Naruto did the same.
"That's the person we're looking for. Tsunade, one of the Legendary Three Ninjas of Konoha. She's the granddaughter of the First Hokage!"
"Naruto, no matter what, we can't let Orochimaru and Sasuke Uchiha… My body can still fight, but I can't hold out much longer, so we'd better leave with Tsunade quickly!"
"As for Sasuke, I hope you..."
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto nodded. "I understand!"
Although he really wanted to knock Sasuke out and take him back to Konoha immediately, the previous fight in the small town had made Naruto realize something.
Maybe because he controlled the Nine-Tails' chakra, his own chakra had been freed, greatly increasing his power. But his fundamentals were too weak.
Taijutsu!
He was no match for Sasuke.
Even though his chakra might have been many times stronger than Sasuke's, Sasuke could still block his attacks with his frightening skills.
Sasuke!
No wonder he was called the genius of Konoha!
Right now, it wouldn't be that simple for Naruto to defeat Sasuke.
And Konoha needed Tsunade now.
Naruto knew very well what was more important.
Get Tsunade out!
That was the most important thing right now. With the target in mind, Naruto's eyes glowed with red light.
In that instant, Sasuke also noticed.
Crack!
Both of them, almost at the same time, rushed towards Tsunade.
Still surprised by the appearance of Naruto and Sasuke, Tsunade looked at the two boys charging toward her, unsure of their intentions. Were they planning to team up against her?
In an instant, red chakra surged, forming a massive red hand that quickly reached toward Tsunade.
Tsunade quickly retreated.
At the same time, another chakra hand shot toward Sasuke, slapping down hard!
'Trying to stop me?'
'Naruto!'
'The Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak is really useful!'
But with this level of chakra, it probably wouldn't stop me!
Forming hand signs with one hand, Orochimaru quickly drew his sword, the Kusanagi.
Zzzzzz…
Lightning surged along the Kusanagi, flashing as Sasuke exhaled lightly.
'Breath of Lightning...'
'First Form!'
'Thunderclap Flash!'
Crack!
In an instant, the lightning pierced through Naruto's chakra hand.
The severed chakra arm didn't even have time to dissipate.
The next second, Sasuke, having used the Thunderclap Flash, arrived in front of Naruto.
He inhaled sharply.
Sasuke's body was still in the air as the lightning hadn't fully dispersed.
'Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!'
Boom!
A massive fireball appeared instantly, completely blocking the path in front of Naruto.
As the flames erupted, Tsunade, still retreating, was filled with astonishment.
'What kind of taijutsu is that?'
'One-handed hand signs?'
'Could a kid this age have such mastery over Fire Style?'
The chakra hand that had been reaching for Tsunade suddenly turned into a claw before transforming back into a palm.
At the same time, two chakra arms emerged from Naruto's back, blocking the front.
Crack!
The impact of the Great Fireball Jutsu caused Naruto to halt.
As the three chakra arms tore through the fireball, Sasuke had already caught up to Tsunade's side.
Looking up, Sasuke prepared to use genjutsu to put Tsunade to sleep and then take her away directly.
But at that moment, a gust of wind sounded.
Sasuke's movements paused as a shuriken flew past his face.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, Naruto's figure appeared behind Tsunade from the other side.
"Sasuke... so your target is her too!"
