Chapter 152 Because I am the Fifth Hokage of Konoha [Third Update]
"How embarrassing!"
Jiraiya couldn't help but cover his face, he was too ashamed to face anyone.
Although it was due to Tsunade's medication, summoning a little toad was still incredibly embarrassing.
Orochimaru in the scene clearly understood everything as well.
"Looks like you're still as stupid as ever, Jiraiya. Even if you're not talented, you shouldn't be like this. It seems like Tsunade did something to you."
Orochimaru knew his two teammates very well.
However, Naruto Uzumaki soon made a fool of himself as well, summoning a small toad as well.
Even Kabuto couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Because he never had the talent to be a ninja."
"That idiot."
Sasuke Uchiha, watching from off-screen, couldn't help but rub his forehead and say something, but hearing Kabuto constantly belittle Naruto's talent from the beginning, he instinctively felt a bit annoyed as well.
If Naruto Uzumaki is nothing, then what has he been all along?
Meanwhile, Kabuto and Orochimaru in the scene are also controlling the giant snake to launch an attack. Although there are only two people on Orochimaru's side, they are able to defeat Tsunade, Jiraiya and others, making them retreat in a very sorry state.
Jiraiya, who was out of sorts; Orochimaru, whose hands were crippled; and Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, who had been rendered useless by hemophobia.
Seeing Tsunade being casually bullied by Kabuto in the scene, everyone deeply understood the meaning of Kitahara Kaede's diary.
Although Kitahara Kaede's art style often seems to veer off course, he is never one to make baseless claims.
Seeing herself being humiliated by Kabuto in the scene, Tsunade was furious.
"How ugly, Tsunade!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.
But suddenly, at that moment, she realized something.
"I'm not afraid of blood anymore?"
She suddenly realized that her hemophobia seemed to have inexplicably disappeared; otherwise, even seeing blood on a screen would have triggered her hemophobia.
However, from the moment she started watching the video until now, she has not experienced any episode of hemophobia.
What does this mean? Does it mean her hemophobia is cured?
"No, this doesn't prove that my hemophobia is cured." Tsunade quickly shook her head. It's too early to say that my hemophobia is cured now.
It can only be said that her attention was indeed not on that aspect just now.
At this moment, just as Kabuto was about to punch Tsunade away, Naruto blocked it with his headband and even used Rasengan to try to defeat Kabuto.
However, no miracle occurred; his leg muscles were severed by Kabuto!
Kabuto watched as Naruto continued to provoke him with words.
"Naruto-kun, you did say something similar during the first Chunin Exams, right? Don't underestimate me. I won't run away. I accept being a genin for life. I'll become Hokage through sheer willpower, so it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid. Can you still say the same thing now?"
"You're not a child anymore, so you'd better stop talking big. Know when to give up and when to run away. Oh dear, what kind of look is that? You'll die. If you die, you'll have nothing left."
After saying that, Kabuto immediately began beating Naruto Uzumaki as if he were kicking a roadside dog.
"Damn it!"
Sasuke Uchiha, who was off-screen, was furious when he saw this.
"Loser, get up! Defeat him!"
He had never wanted to jump into the screen and kill this four-eyed guy named Dou as much as he did now.
However, even in the face of Kabuto's humiliation and beatings, Naruto Uzumaki refused to give up and stood up again and again to protect Tsunade.
He finally seized the opportunity, caught Kabuto, and successfully unleashed the Rasengan, blasting Kabuto away.
"He did it!"
Jiraiya, who was off-screen, saw Naruto Uzumaki successfully unleash the Rasengan and couldn't help but smile.
"That silver-haired brat, you've got one thing wrong. Naruto isn't someone without ninja talent."
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
Although Naruto Uzumaki seems carefree and reckless, from any angle he doesn't seem like a genius ninja.
Especially compared to students like Uchiha Sasuke, who were the top students of their class, he seemed rather inferior.
Therefore, Orochimaru looked down on Naruto Uzumaki, and even Kabuto looked down on him, thinking he was an idiot.
This feeling made him feel as if he had returned to his days at the Ninja Academy, when Orochimaru was undoubtedly a genius. Even Tsunade, who came from a prestigious family, was inferior to Orochimaru in terms of talent.
Orochimaru was the teacher's favorite child and the most perfect disciple in the Third Hokage's heart.
Despite being considered a complete failure and lacking any ninja talent, he rose step by step to become one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, standing shoulder to shoulder with the other two.
Compared to his two teammates, he did not fall behind.
The same goes for Naruto Uzumaki. Just take the Rasengan. It took the Fourth Hokage several years to develop this move, but Naruto learned it in only half a year, which is already very fast.
Naruto only spent a week to go from not being able to use it properly to being able to use it!
Such talent surpasses even one's own!
In Jiraiya's view, the most important talent for a ninja is not the ability to learn many ninjutsu, which is important but not important. The most important thing is the perseverance to never give up, the will to never give up even when faced with desperate situations. That is the most important talent for a ninja.
When your body has given up, only your will can lead you out of the encirclement.
A ninja is someone who can endure everything, not someone who knows all ninjutsu!
So from this perspective, Naruto Uzumaki is not someone without ninja talent; on the contrary, his ninja talent is almost overflowing.
It's just that Orochimaru, that idiot, can't see it!
Furthermore, Kitahara Kaede's diary mentioned that he would become one of the two towering peaks that the entire ninja world would look up to, and the future savior, which further convinced him of his judgment.
At this moment, Tsunade was also shocked. She saw Naruto Uzumaki learn the Rasengan in just one week. Before she could be happy, Naruto suddenly collapsed to the ground.
At the crucial moment, Kabuto severed the muscles near Naruto's heart.
Faced with this situation, she was almost instantly reminded of the helplessness she felt when she faced the deaths of two of her beloved people.
"Don't die, don't die, don't die!"
Tsunade treated him almost pleadingly.
To everyone's disbelief, Naruto Uzumaki had survived.
At that moment, Orochimaru realized that the Akatsuki wanted the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. If the Akatsuki got their hands on it, things would be very difficult. They were already no match for the Akatsuki, and now they would have even less of a chance.
He swiftly and decisively pounced on Naruto, spitting out a grass sword that nearly killed him. But at that crucial moment, Tsunade stepped in front of him, blocking the fatal blow.
"Tsunade, you are the only one I don't want to kill. If that child lives, he will become a problem later due to various issues. Could you please not stop me?" Orochimaru said coldly.
Faced with his request, Tsunade said tremblingly, "I will protect only this child."
"Your body is trembling. Why would you, one of the Legendary Sannin, risk your life to protect this mere Genin brat?"
Orochimaru said, somewhat puzzled.
Panting and coughing up blood, Tsunade said, "To protect Konoha, to protect the village, and if you ask why, the reason is that this brat will become Hokage sooner or later."
"Hahahaha, what nonsense are you talking about? Besides, the Hokage is trash. Nobody but an idiot would want to be Hokage," Orochimaru said dismissively.
These are the words that Tsunade once said.
In that instant, Tsunade remembered the Hokage of all time, the words she had spoken, Naruto's words, and Dan and Nawaki's dreams. She seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
"From now on, I will also risk my life." Tsunade's eyes changed, and she suddenly became cold.
Orochimaru was furious upon hearing this, as if he had once had such a dream himself, and nearly killed Tsunade on the spot with several sword strikes.
"Why are you fighting for Konoha?"
Orochimaru didn't understand.
However, the next second he was kicked away by Tsunade, and Tsunade's trembling body stopped trembling.
"Because I am the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."
Tsunade said coldly, and the seal on her forehead appeared.
"Even if you overcome hemophobia, what can you do with your current injuries?" Orochimaru said disdainfully.
"Ninjutsu, Yin Seal Released, Creation and Rebirth."
As Tsunade released the Yin Seal, her originally severe injuries were reversed and healed in a short time, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What kind of ninjutsu is that? It seems I'm not the only one who developed a new ninjutsu," Orochimaru said with a sneer.
"It's nothing. I gathered my chakra in my forehead and used this large amount of chakra to stimulate various proteins, which greatly accelerated the number of cell divisions, allowing the cells to rebuild. Then all organs and tissues can regenerate. This is not just a recovery ability but a regeneration ability, which means I can't die in battle," Tsunade said confidently.
"However, the number of times a cell divides in a person's lifetime is fixed. Accelerating cell division actually shortens lifespan."
Shizune revealed the true nature of Tsunade's move: it seemed to prevent her from dying in battle, but in reality, it used her future lifespan to fill this huge hole.
The faster the recovery, the more severely lifespan has been shortened.
Such resilience means life is burning brightly!
