Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 147 Shocking Revelation: The Old Three Ninjas and the New Three Ninjas [3rd Update]

Chapter 147 Shocking Revelation: The Old and New Three Ninjas [Third Update]

Thinking of Kitahara Kaede's appearance, Tsunade felt both annoyed and amused; it was truly outrageous.

Are all the kids in the village this sharp-tongued these days?

What shocked her even more was the information revealed in Kitahara Kaede's diary: he possessed some unknown ability to glimpse the past and future.

This ability is not entirely unheard of in the ninja world. For example, the legendary priestess of the Land of Demons is rumored to have the ability to foresee the future. Jiraiya also mentioned that the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku had the ability to see a glimpse of the future, which led him to search for the legendary Child of Destiny.

She didn't believe in these things at first; there was no such thing as a chosen one or a savior or destiny.

However, after reading Kitahara Kaede's diary, her belief in this matter wavered for the first time.

Perhaps there really is something predetermined?

If we truly accept this view, then does that mean that the deaths of Dan and Rope Tree were also predetermined?

She is not reconciled!

"Tsunade? He actually ran into Tsunade?"

In the same hot spring inn in Konoha Village, Jiraiya looked at his diary and was somewhat stunned.

Although he had already returned to Konoha ahead of time, he did not want to make a high-profile appearance, especially to alert Orochimaru's possible spies.

Of course, he also didn't want to deal with the prying eyes of the Konoha high-ranking officials, whether good or bad. Especially now that the Third Hokage was old, and he, a strong and capable Sannin, had returned to the village, he didn't know how many people would come to persuade him to take over the position of Fifth Hokage, which was extremely bothersome.

If he were willing to do it, he would have done it long ago.

It's not like the third generation just got old overnight.

In fact, the third generation had already begun to show signs of fatigue several years ago.

Therefore, he has not returned to his residence recently, and has reached a tacit understanding with the higher-ups in Konoha to not disturb each other.

The Konoha leadership pretended not to know he had returned to the village, and he pretended not to know that the Konoha leadership knew he had returned.

Jiraiya never expected that Kitahara Kaede would run into Tsunade on her way to the Land of Wind, and she found it quite interesting.

Especially when I saw him openly criticizing Tsunade's gambling luck, I found it quite amusing.

Moreover, Kitahara Kaede's words make a lot of sense: buy the opposite of Tsunade's size, and you'll have a villa by the sea.

However, when he saw Kitahara Kaede's evaluation of the three legendary Konoha ninjas—gambling, prostitution, and drugs—he immediately felt terrible.

Both precise and sharp-tongued.

"That Kitahara Kaede, he's got a really sharp tongue." Jiraiya couldn't help but smile wryly.

"The Legendary Sannin of Konoha, gambling, drugs, and prostitution?"

Kakashi Hatake, looking at the diary, almost spat out his water.

However, it is indeed very accurate.

How come he never realized before that the three words could be used to summarize the Legendary Sannin of Konoha so precisely?

It's really quite interesting to think about.

Inside the Akatsuki's base, Itachi Uchiha looked at the Konoha Sannin's description of gambling, prostitution, and drugs in his diary and was immediately speechless, yet he couldn't help but want to laugh, although, well, it was really accurate.

Only Uchiha Sasuke was completely bewildered as he read the diary. Gambling, prostitution, and drugs?

What is that?

Kitahara Kaede's comment seems to be that Tsunade loves gambling and always loses.

But how come there's also the story of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage? Did he also love gambling?

He found it hard to equate the gambling-loving Hashirama Senju with the legendary ninja god from the textbook.

However, Tsunade is probably still immersed in the grief of her brother's and lover's deaths, numbing herself with alcohol and gambling every day. She needs a man who can open her heart, and that man is none other than Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, this is the savior's strongest talk-no-jutsu, commonly known as Kotoamatsukami. It helped Tsunade overcome her psychological trauma and hemophobia. What's a little talk? He can even kill several big bosses with his words.

Tsunade probably saw the shadow of that boy in him, who also shouted every day that he wanted to become Hokage.

The death of Senju Nawaki profoundly changed two of the Legendary Sannin. Tsunade became increasingly depressed, and Orochimaru, having witnessed Nawaki's death, developed the idea that life is unpredictable and accelerated his path of human experimentation, which also affected Jiraiya's fate.

I can't even imagine how strong Konoha would be if the Legendary Sannin were still alive. It would definitely be much better than it is now, unable to even elect a Fifth Hokage.

The diary continues to be updated.

"This Kitahara Kaede really knows a lot; he even knows I'm using alcohol and gambling to numb myself?"

Tsunade grinned self-deprecatingly. In truth, she was fully aware of her own problems, but she simply refused to face them.

He was just drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

There are many things she doesn't want to face, and she feels she can't face them, so she can only choose to numb herself.

In fact, Jiraiya was no different from her.

Of the three, apart from that damned Orochimaru, who is mentally healthy?

"Can open my heart? That Naruto Uzumaki?" Tsunade scoffed. She didn't believe this guy was that magical, let alone some talk-no-jutsu.

She had seen the term "talk-no-jutsu" in Kitahara Kaede's previous diary, and after considering the context, she knew what it meant, but she didn't believe that Uzumaki Naruto could do it.

If her psychological problems could be solved simply by saying a few kind words and comforting her, then she would have solved them long ago.

"He even knows about hemophobia, this kid knows quite a lot." Tsunade said with a sneer.

Then she saw the information about her younger brother, Senju Nawaki, and her expression immediately turned cold; it was a pain she would never forget.

After finally recovering from the grief of losing her younger brother, she was now even more heartbroken.

However, it's not wrong to say that Nawaki's death directly led to the fate of the three legendary ninja.

Since then, the three legendary ninjas seem to have gone further and further astray.

"Hokage? What's the use of that? Let whoever wants to be it be it," Tsunade said dismissively.

For others, becoming Hokage would be an unparalleled honor, but for her, it meant nothing.

Her life was filled with various Naruto characters from a young age. The First and Second Hokage were her great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, the Third Hokage was her teacher, and the Fourth Hokage was her junior apprentice.

What is unattainable for others is just like that to her.

Especially when they were grieving the deaths of their younger brother and lover, the two of them liked to talk about becoming Hokage in the future, which made Tsunade instinctively feel a bit disgusted with becoming Hokage.

"Betsuten-zui? Betsuten-shin?"

As Itachi Uchiha read the description of Naruto Uzumaki's so-called "talk-no-jutsu" in the diary, he was somewhat speechless at Kitahara Kaede's perverse sense of humor, but he also became somewhat curious.

Because he had been reading the diary for quite some time and had done a lot of psychological profiling of Kitahara Kaede.

Although Kitahara Kaede often writes irreverent and nonsensical things in his diary, some of the things he records as if in jest are actually very important information.

In other words, through this period of reflection, Itachi Uchiha has become quite adept at judging the truth or falsehood of information by examining the records in his diary.

Since Kitahara Kaede has mentioned Naruto Uzumaki's "talk-no-jutsu" (a technique of persuading people) several times, he believes that Naruto is probably really strong in this aspect.

Furthermore, he considered that Sasuke might go astray in the future, even to the point of betraying the village and joining Orochimaru, and then joining the Akatsuki organization. Under such circumstances, Naruto was still able to pull him back on the right track, which shows that his persuasive ability is probably really quite impressive.

In the future, Sasuke will probably really need Naruto to mentor him, so that even if he dies right away, he won't have any regrets.

However, he couldn't help but imagine that if the Sannin hadn't left Konoha, with the Fourth Hokage also present, Konoha would have had a total of five Kage-level shinobi. Even if the Uchiha clan had a lot of dissatisfaction at the time, they probably wouldn't have dared to have any thoughts of rebellion.

If the Uchiha clan hadn't developed to the point where rebellion was inevitable, they wouldn't have had to bear such a fate. In other words, perhaps the Uchiha clan would still be thriving now.

And I should also become an excellent elite Jonin in Konoha, so that Sasuke can grow up happily with his family by his side.

In the end, all the regrets turned into a sigh.

"Hemophobia? That kid even knows that?" Jiraiya was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized that given Kitahara Kaede's amazing behavior, it wasn't surprising that he knew Tsunade had hemophobia.

Upon seeing the Thousand-Armed Rope Tree mentioned in the diary, Jiraiya sighed. If we trace it back to its origins, Kitahara Kaede's words actually made some sense.

The fate of the three legendary ninjas was indeed completely reversed after Senju Nawaki was killed by the explosive tags.

While this argument may seem far-fetched, it's not entirely without merit.

"Become Hokage? I don't care!"

Inside the ancestral home of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha turned his head away.

Although I'm not entirely unmoved by the position of Hokage, after all, I was raised with the Will of Fire. However, it's impossible for me to be like that loser who keeps talking about wanting to be Hokage all the time; that would be too embarrassing.

He's not envious at all.

The battle of the three Sannin was undoubtedly a famous scene in the early Shippuden series. However, it was a pity that although the battle was grand in scale, it was not fulfilling. None of the three Sannin were at their peak. One suffered from hemophobia, one was drugged, and one had both hands crippled. They never had such an opportunity again.

The next time we see a similar iconic scene of the three legendary ninjas gathered together is probably during the Fourth Shinobi World War, when the new three ninjas, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura, came together, along with Sakura's most powerful genjutsu scene, "Tsunade-sama, I think I've caught up with them."

Thinking about it carefully, Sakura didn't seem to have said anything wrong, if her two teammates hadn't cheated.

Of course, it's impossible that he didn't use cheats, because he didn't turn them off at all!
