Chapter 173 The Crowd Stunned by Six Hundred Billion Explosive Tags [Second Update]

Besides that, she unexpectedly started training again. Heaven help me, it's been so many years since I've seen Lady Tsunade train properly.

Suddenly, Tsunade, who was in the middle of her training, seemed to sense something, stopped, and said to Shizune, "Let's stop here for today."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, I'll go prepare hot water and a change of clothes for you," Shizune said quickly.

Tsunade nodded and said, "Yes, by the way, starting tomorrow, you will train with me. I will teach you the Yin Seal and the Super Strength Fist."

"what?"

Shizune hadn't expected that she would actually get a share.

She wasn't particularly happy, even though this was an extremely rare, closely guarded secret, a unique skill of the ninja world, for others.

However, that's all there is to it for her. If she really wants to learn, she can still do so. After all, her relationship with Tsunade is special; she is the niece of Dan, Tsunade's former lover.

She is very interested in medical ninjutsu, but not so much in combat.

"My strength hasn't improved over the years, it's actually regressed. You're about the same, you can't even beat an ordinary Jonin," Tsunade nodded and said.

She recalled in Kitahara Kaede's diary that when facing Yakushi Kabuto, not only did she suffer a great loss, but Shizune also failed to defeat Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto Yakushi was Orochimaru's trusted confidant, and he was so powerful, while Shizune, whom Orochimaru had trained, was so much less capable. Didn't this make it seem like Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, was incapable of teaching others?

Her competitive spirit was immediately ignited.

As one of the legendary Sannin, there's no reason why she should be inferior to Orochimaru.

"When have I ever been unable to beat an ordinary Jonin?" Shizune said with some dissatisfaction.

However, she herself was a little guilty. To be honest, she didn't seem to have actually had a proper fight with a Jonin-level expert.

She usually accompanies Tsunade, a famous figure in the ninja world. Outsiders don't know her true strength or how badly she suffers from hemophobia. Even ninjas from other villages wouldn't want to provoke such a terrifying being.

Tsunade didn't answer her. Instead, she took off her training clothes, revealing her perfect figure, and went into the house to find her diary.

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Jiraiya was also training, much like Tsunade. Having stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world for so long, Jiraiya had become somewhat lax. Although stronger than Tsunade, he was merely maintaining his current level.

His current extra training isn't aimed at Orochimaru, but rather at the various future scenarios mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary, especially the fact that Yahiko invaded Konoha and destroyed the entire village in one move—the impact of which was simply too great for him.

Not to mention the even more terrifying Otsutsuki clan behind them, he finally realized that his strength was still insufficient.

"No, I can't do this."

Jiraiya said, panting heavily.

Unlike Jiraiya, who was in his adolescence and whose body was in a period of rapid growth, allowing him to increase his strength quickly by maintaining high-intensity training, Jiraiya, at fifty years old, was already a true middle-aged man, and his potential had been completely exhausted.

The reason he hasn't put in much effort to cultivate himself over the years is because of this. All he can do is take care of his body and try to stay in peak condition for as long as possible.

"Dealing with Orochimaru is no problem, but what about Yahiko?" Jiraiya muttered to himself.

He didn't know that it was Pain; he thought it was Yahiko, one of the three little ones.

He didn't know what had happened in between, or why the Rinnegan had transferred from Nagato to Yahiko, but he knew that something enormous must have occurred.

"If I want to improve my strength further, the only way is probably through Sage Mode." Jiraiya thought for a moment, and the only way he could think of at the moment was Sage Mode.

However, his cultivation in immortal arts has actually been completed, which is the biggest problem. Although the whole process is very time-consuming and requires him to keep running around to buy time, his cultivation in immortal arts has already been completed.

Entering the Sage Mode state can indeed greatly enhance one's strength in a short period of time; he was even confident that he could easily defeat Orochimaru.

However, it takes too long to enter the immortal state.

Is there any other way to shorten this process as much as possible? Otherwise, its practical value on the battlefield will be greatly reduced.

Suddenly, without thinking much, a throbbing sensation came to his mind—it was an update from the diary. He was already very used to it. He then took out a scroll from his backpack, unsealed it, and the diary was hidden inside.

Inside the Akatsuki base, an Akatsuki physician is examining Uchiha Ryo's body.

"Your bloodline disease is difficult to resolve. The more you use your Sharingan, the faster the disease will develop," the doctor said. "The best advice is to use your Sharingan less."

"If you don't exercise restraint, you know, you probably won't live past twenty-five," the doctor said.

"Twenty-five years old? That's enough."

Uchiha Itachi was neither angry nor saddened by what he heard.

Living to twenty-five is enough for him, but he wants to know if the threats Kitahara Kaede mentioned are achievable within the next few years.

If only he could have eliminated some threats to Sasuke before that.

He gave Sasuke his pair of Mangekyou Sharingan before those dangers arrived.

Faced with such a terrifying enemy, the ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan is not enough; one must have the legendary Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Ever since Madara Uchiha explained all this to him, these have been his only remaining goals.

After taking his medicine, he returned to his residence.

Inside the Uchiha clan's territory, in the clan head's residence, lights shone brightly.

Sasuke Uchiha kept throwing his shuriken, practicing Uchiha throwing techniques. He recalled Itachi Uchiha's teachings on Uchiha throwing techniques, and the more he recalled those memories, the more painful it became.

However, in order to become stronger, he had to recall even the slightest bit of skill. The Uchiha clan had been wiped out, so there was no one to teach him these ninjutsu, throwing techniques, and taijutsu that should have been taught. He had to figure them out on his own.

In the distance, within the treetops, two ANBU members watched from afar as Uchiha Sasuke practiced the Uchiha Throwing Technique.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, his strength is no less than ours."

"One of the secret agents remarked with a sigh."

They were dispatched to monitor Sasuke Uchiha, and also to protect him, so they could see Sasuke's training almost every day.

It can be said that Sasuke Uchiha had very little social life. Every day, he would either train after completing his missions, either by himself or by being called to train by Kakashi Hatake.

They noticed the dramatic change in Uchiha Sasuke's strength in a very short time.

His strength skyrocketed from what could only be considered an elite genin to something comparable to an elite chunin, a level that would qualify him for selection into the ANBU.

Considering how long it took them to get to this point, and how long it took Sasuke Uchiha, one can't help but admire them. They are truly geniuses of the prestigious Uchiha clan, how could they be compared to ordinary ninjas like them?

"He's just lacking experience. In a while, we'll probably have to keep our distance to avoid being discovered by him," another member of the secret service said.

As Sasuke Uchiha's strength continued to increase, they had to keep retreating, and even had to use binoculars.

Suddenly they noticed that Uchiha Sasuke, as usual, hurriedly returned to his room halfway through his training, probably because he was tired and needed to rest.

"That old bastard Danzo hasn't given up yet?"

Tsunade immersed herself in the silent bathtub filled with water, looking at the entries in her diary.

Danzo offered a bounty of ten million ryo for Kitahara Kaede, which is quite a sum.

For a Jonin, that's not a small amount. Of course, Shimura Danzo probably didn't know Kitahara Kaede's special circumstances. If he had, it would probably have been more than ten million ryo.

"Kakuzu, the Akatsuki's butler."

Jiraiya took out his notebook, which he originally used to record creative inspiration at any time. After all, he was a bestselling author, but don't ask what kind of bestselling books they were—they were not suitable for children.

But then he saw a familiar name.

Xiao Nan!

"As expected, the Akatsuki was founded by those three." Jiraiya sighed. "And Nagato, is he dead?"

Aside from the fact that Nagato was already dead, he couldn't think of any other reason why the Rinnegan would be transplanted into Yahiko.

"But isn't 600 billion explosive tags a bit outrageous?" Jiraiya was stunned when he saw that Konan had stockpiled 600 billion explosive tags.

Explosive tags are also graded, with the cheapest one costing several hundred taels. How much would six hundred billion explosive tags cost?

He simply couldn't believe it!

If this wasn't written in Kitahara Kaede's diary, but rather information he gathered from outside, he simply wouldn't believe it.

"This can't possibly be an ordinary detonation tag." Jiraiya immediately made his judgment.

Even if all the artisans on the continent were gathered together and made an unlimited number of explosive tags for her, without considering cost or time, it would still be impossible to produce 600 billion explosive tags.

In fact, the ninja world has probably never used so many explosive tags since the history of explosive tags began.

"Is it some kind of ninjutsu?"

Jiraiya remembered the characteristic of Konan's ninjutsu: paper-based ninjutsu.

When he was teaching the three little ones how to train, Konan developed her own paper-related ninjutsu. Although it was still very immature at the time, it was already beginning to take shape.

"So these explosive tags are actually some kind of ninjutsu used by Konan?"

This was the only possibility Jiraiya could think of.
