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

第174章 37开，初代目3拳，角都头7【3更】

Chapter 174 A 30/70 split, the First Hokage's three punches, Kakuzu's seventh-day memorial service [Third update]

Besides, Jiraiya couldn't figure out how Konan could gather 600 billion explosive tags.

"Six hundred billion?"

Upon seeing this number, Kakashi Hatake was stunned. Six thousand, sixty thousand was already outrageous. Normally, a ninja would only carry about ten or twenty cards when going on a mission.

How many can be used in a single battle?

If it hadn't appeared in Kitahara Kaede's diary, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

"The Akatsuki organization, huh?"

Sasuke Uchiha silently wrote down Kakuzu's name, because this was the organization that Itachi Uchiha belonged to, so he wanted to find out exactly how many people were in this organization.

So far, we already know that there are Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki with the shark face, Kakuzu the butler, and Konan, the leader who destroyed Konoha with one blow.

Behind each name lies at least an elite Jonin, or even a Kage-level powerhouse. Each additional name increases the difficulty of his revenge.

"Six hundred billion explosive tags?"

When Itachi Uchiha saw this record, his hand holding the diary trembled slightly. He briefly imagined the situation: six hundred billion explosive tags, all in one go, how many minutes would it last, how terrifying the damage would be? He simply couldn't bear to think about it.

I never expected that the usually aloof goddess in the organization would be so terrifying, and that she had such a terrifying hidden trick up her sleeve.

Fortunately, it was probably a mission that Kakuzu took on privately, not one that the Akatsuki took on. So the immortal duo only has Kakuzu and not Hidan, that cultist. Otherwise, if the two of them were really together, things would be very troublesome.

Hidan's moves are especially disgusting. If you get even a tiny scratch from him, you're done for on the spot. Sarutobi Asuma suffered a great loss because of insufficient information and ultimately died at the hands of the immortal duo. If it weren't for Kurenai leaving him an orphan, his lineage would have ended.

Kakashi is truly amazing; he can go toe-to-toe with anyone, even Zabuza and Kakuzu, who are both Kage-level powerhouses.

After all, this was a powerful figure who had once ambushed and killed the First Generation Leader. If throwing a shuriken at the First Generation Leader from 800 miles away counts, then...

Hahahaha, just kidding, just kidding. He was able to escape from the First Hokage probably because the First Hokage was kind-hearted. Otherwise, it's completely inexplicable. Not to mention back then, even if Kakuzu were standing in front of the First Hokage now, he could easily defeat him with one punch, resulting in a 30/70 split.

The first generation's three punches, seven days after his death.

"Kakuzu and Hidan?"

Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly when he saw Kakuzu and Hidan mentioned in the diary. Although they were both in Akatsuki, he knew very little about them except for his own partners.

The Akatsuki's internal system also prevented them from spying on each other. For strong individuals of their caliber, having their ninjutsu secrets exposed was a taboo subject.

"The immortal duo... are they related to this immortality?"

Uchiha Itachi was scribbling on the paper, which, given Kitahara Kaede's personality, could very well be an indication of some kind of ability belonging to Kakuzu and Hidan.

Does the ability mean immortality? Or does it mean being extremely difficult to kill?

He felt it was very necessary to find out information about Kakuzu and Hidan. The lack of information must have been a huge loss for Konoha, for example, Sarutobi Asuma.

That was the third generation's only surviving son, and he died on the battlefield.

If we count them this way, the entire Sarutobi family consists of: Sarutobi Hiruzen, who died protecting Konoha at Orochimaru's hands; Sarutobi Biwako, who died in battle; Sarutobi Hiruzen's eldest son, who died in battle; and Sarutobi Asuma, who died in battle.

All things considered, only Sarutobi Konohamaru remains as a sole survivor.

"Fifty-fifty? So that's what it means." Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but feel annoyed. If he was still a little unhappy about Kitahara Kaede's teasing, he could now accept it.

So that's what "Hatake no 50" means. Although it's somewhat of a joke, it's mostly a compliment. It means someone who can go toe-to-toe with a Kage-level ninja or an elite Jonin like Zabuza.

It depends on who you're comparing yourself to. If you're comparing yourself to a Chunin, you'd be incredibly embarrassed. But what if you're comparing yourself to a Kage-level shinobi?

Even if it's a 50/50 split, it's not a bad result.

However, what truly saddened him was learning of the death of Asuma Sarutobi in the future. He didn't have many friends in his life, and while Asuma Sarutobi was far from being a close friend, he was definitely a good friend.

Suddenly thinking about his future death, I felt a pang of sadness. But I was used to the life and death of ninjas; it was only a matter of time before such a day came for any ninja.

"He also assassinated my grandfather? How old would that person have been?"

Tsunade looked at the diary entry about Kakuzu's ambush of her great-grandfather. If that were true, it would only mean that Kakuzu was really old, perhaps even older than her grandfather.

Such people are still active in the ninja world.

"Is it because you're immortal?"

Tsunade also noticed the meaning of the word "immortal" in Kitahara Kaede's diary.

Perhaps his ability to survive for so many years has a lot to do with his immortality.

Seeing Kitahara Kaede praising his great-grandfather so much, with jokes like "30/70 split," "great-grandfather's three punches to the enemy's seventh day," and even "throwing a shuriken from 800 miles away," Tsunade couldn't help but laugh. This little devil has quite a sense of humor.

Jiraiya frowned, looking at the diary with unusual seriousness. As he read the contents, he learned that all the characters were Kage-level powerhouses, a fact personally confirmed by Kitahara Kaede. However, even for such Kage-level powerhouses, escaping from the First Hokage still required the First Hokage's kindness, and there was even a saying that the odds were 30/70.

The first generation of the Three Fists, his seventh day after death.

Such words are rarely seen in Kitahara Kaede's diary; the last time someone praised him this much was probably when Uchiha Madara.

Back then, the two were known as the twin stars of the entire ninja world. One was the God of Shinobi, and the other was the Asura of the Shinobi World. It was said that their strengths were evenly matched, but the First Hokage was still stronger.

"Were the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha really that strong? Even the old man at his peak couldn't easily defeat a Kage-level shinobi."

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

The official statement from Konoha now is that the Third Hokage was the strongest Hokage in history. Whether you believe it or not, the official stance is that they believe it.

However, based on Jiraiya's prediction of the Third Hokage's peak, even if he was stronger than Jiraiya in his normal state without Sage Mode, he wouldn't be much stronger. They were roughly at the same level, with no significant difference in combat power.

Therefore, by making an estimate based on his own combat strength, he could determine that the description of Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage as powerful, written jokingly in Kitahara Kaede's diary, was a bit excessive.

This is obvious to everyone.

According to Jiraiya's own estimation, based on the system revealed in Kitahara Kaede's diary, the most terrifying one was undoubtedly the Otsutsuki clan. They were so strong that it was unreasonable, but he didn't know exactly how strong they were. He vaguely described them as living gods.

Next up were the First Hokage, Madara Uchiha, and Yahiko. Jiraiya vaguely guessed whether these could be considered the Kage-level beings Kitahara Kaede had mentioned before.

The next Kage-level opponents were much more normal in Kitahara Kaede's eyes; they were somewhat troublesome, but not insurmountable.

Therefore, everyone who reads the diary can see that Kitahara Kaede drew a very clear red line, indicating that above the Kage level, he is almost an unparalleled existence.

But he didn't say exactly how strong it was.

The only thing that can be used as a reference is probably the scene in his eyes where Yahiko wiped out the entire Hidden Leaf Village with one move.

Even Kakuzu, a Kage-level powerhouse, was mocked for only surviving if he had thrown a shuriken from 800 miles away when he ambushed the First Hokage.

The Ten-Tails that appeared later was an existence that could not be fought against by conventional understanding.

[Shikamaru's scheme to defeat Hidan and avenge his teacher is arguably the pinnacle of strategic maneuvering in the early stages. Unfortunately, it becomes useless later on; no amount of ninjutsu works. Hidan simply pilots a Gundam and shatters a mountain with a single slap. Your efforts are laughable in the face of such power.]

Upon seeing the entries in Kitahara Kaede's diary, everyone fell silent. Holy crap, is it really that outrageous?

Although they still don't understand what it means to pilot a Gundam, they can understand what kind of situation Kitahara Kaede was referring to when he said he could smash a mountain with a single slap.

Is the ninja world in the future really that dangerous?

Uchiha Sasuke was especially puzzled. How could he, in the future, be the savior of such a terrifying and dangerous ninja world?

How strong do I have to be?

So, I'm definitely capable of avenging my entire clan in the future, right?

Kitahara Kaede's words silenced all the diary holders, who were shocked by the terrifying extent of the later enemies and felt an immense heaviness in their hearts.

Suddenly, at that moment, a video appeared in front of everyone.

The crowd, oblivious to Asuma's sadness or the horrifying scene of a mountain being shattered with a single slap, quickly clicked to view the video.

In the scene, Hidan and Kakuzu, dressed in Akatsuki uniforms, are walking down the road. Behind them, Shikamaru is quietly approaching using the Shadow Imitation Technique.

"Shikamaru three years from now?" Sasuke Uchiha narrowed his eyes. He had some impression of Shikamaru in his mind, but to be honest, he didn't have much of an impression. He was always lazy.

His only outstanding achievement was in theory classes, where he, like Sakura, received a perfect score.

Apart from that, my scores in combat-related courses were generally only average, just average.

Their status in Konoha is similar to that of the Nara clan—mediocre and without any particularly distinctive features.

However, this family has produced members who have become the class leader of the Jonin class almost every generation, and are trusted confidants of the Hokage.

Even powerful ninjas like the Legendary Sannin never held a key position like the leader of a Jonin squad.
