Kakashi had just left the Senju clan's territory and hadn't gone far when he ran into Tsunade, who was rushing back.
"Kakashi, what's wrong with you? Weren't you still studying the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The wind blows.
Tsunade asked, her eyes wide.
Kakashi gave an awkward smile upon hearing this.
That smile left Tsunade somewhat bewildered.
"Lady Tsunade, although I haven't fully mastered the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, it seems that Lord Jiraiya has a lot of opinions about me. He almost had a falling out with me on the spot just now."
"What? Jiraiya is actually angry with you?"
"Wait, he's back?"
Kakashi hesitated for a moment. He wanted to explain, but considering the complexity and sensitivity of the issue, it was difficult to clarify in a short time...
"The specific reasons are probably too complicated to explain in a few words. You should ask Lord Jiraiya yourself."
After saying that, Kakashi nodded slightly and quickly turned and left the Senju clan's territory.
She wanted to ask more questions, but then she thought of Jiraiya inside the house and Kakashi's departing figure.
There's always this strange feeling...:
It was as if he himself did not want the two of them to appear together in the Senju clan's territory.
"What exactly happened between these two?"
Upon returning to the clan's territory, Tsunade soon saw Jiraiya sitting inside, lost in thought.
Jiraiya's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed.
Tsunade quickly stepped forward and demanded bluntly, "Hey, Jiraiya, what's going on between you and Kakashi? What's your feud?"
Jiraiya heard Tsunade's words, but remained silent and refused to respond.
He looked up, and the clam oil on his eyes had not completely faded, but he could see through the magic of Mount Myōboku!
He could clearly see a faint... clear chakra swirling around Tsunade, seemingly completely isolated from the corrosive influence of negative natural energy from the outside world.
"It seems that the Senju clan's unique constitution has protected Tsunade from contamination."
Jiraiya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked softly, "Tsunade, have you noticed anything unusual about the old man's behavior lately?"
The old man...
Upon hearing this, Tsunade fell silent.
"I did vaguely sense an eerie atmosphere in the village. Ever since the old man returned to the village, he has indeed been acting strangely... but I don't know the specifics."
Tsunade sighed softly, a hint of helplessness and bitterness on her face: "Compared to when my great-grandfather was alive, I now have fewer and fewer channels for obtaining information."
"It seems that the old man is deliberately limiting me, only assigning me to be in charge of the medical team's affairs, and he has never mentioned anything else about the village's internal affairs to me."
"Tsunade..."
Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke in a low voice...
"The village is indeed in a very serious situation right now. It was only after I went to Mount Myōboku that I fully understood the current situation Konoha is facing."
Jiraiya then recounted in detail his experiences at Mount Myōboku, including the village's pollution by negative natural energy.
She also told Tsunade in detail about her conversation with Kakashi.
After listening to Jiraiya's story, Tsunade remained unexpectedly calm and composed, a reaction that even caught Jiraiya off guard.
"Tsunade... why are you so calm?"
Tsunade shook her head calmly, her tone carrying a hint of weariness and helplessness.
"During this time, although I don't know the specifics of what happened back then, there's one thing I'm almost certain of...:"
"Second Grandfather's withdrawal was by no means a simple accident; there must have been some calculation and arrangement by the old man."
Tsunade wasn't stupid; she just didn't want to confront these issues at first. "But even so, as Kakashi said, resolving the impending catastrophe in the ninja world is the most urgent task. The conspiracies and infighting among the higher-ups, no matter how unwilling we are to accept them, are a reality."
Jiraiya opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute it.
Seeing Jiraiya's hesitant expression, Tsunade finally shook her head slightly and said with a complicated expression, "You really still can't handle this kind of complicated situation."
"If you really can't accept it, then take my advice and temporarily retire to Mount Myōboku to properly train in Sage Mode. Come back after the turmoil in the ninja world has completely subsided."
"Retiring to Mount Myōboku?"
Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this, staring at Tsunade in disbelief: "You want me to completely avoid the village's conflicts?"
"Because there will eventually come a day when, in Konoha, the bonds you know so well—between master and disciple, friends and comrades—will shatter and turn into conflict... Are you ready?"
"And what about you?"
"Can you really just stand by and do nothing?"
With a light chuckle, Tsunade glanced disdainfully at Jiraiya.
"Don't forget, I am a medical ninja. No matter what happens in this village, I cannot avoid it or stand idly by."
Tsunade paused, then glared coldly at Jiraiya: "What you should be doing right now is taking Kakashi to Mount Myōboku and letting the Great Toad Sage meet him!"
Faced with Tsunade's domineering gaze, Jiraiya knew that saying anything more would be futile, so he could only sigh helplessly, turn around and silently walk out of the room.
As Jiraiya gradually disappeared from sight, Tsunade shook her head.
"This guy is still so indecisive... When will he ever really grow up?"
Outside the room, Jiraiya slowly walked away, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
He wasn't misunderstanding Tsunade's words, but he just felt a little uncomfortable...
On the other side, the water flowed gently in the wind.
Naruto was sitting on the grass by the stream, swinging his legs, happily eating the half-eaten popsicle that Kakashi had just handed him.
Although training is very arduous, as long as there is a little bit of sweetness, Naruto will quickly forget his fatigue and show his most sincere and bright smile.
"Kakashi-nii-san..."
Naruto took a bite of his popsicle, then suddenly looked up, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance...
"Sometimes I still really crave Ichiraku Ramen."
Kakashi chuckled and patted Naruto's head. "As for ramen, I can make a little bit too. I'll make you a bowl myself later."
Upon hearing this, Naruto's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped for joy: "I remember now! I had Kakashi's ramen once before, and it was really delicious!"
"Very good!"
Naruto jumped up, so excited that he almost dropped his popsicle. He hurriedly and clumsily squeezed it back together. Kakashi smiled slightly at this, but soon his expression became serious again.
In truth, deep down, Kakashi still harbored a lingering worry that he couldn't completely shake off. Naruto had just been given the Five Elements Seal, which temporarily controlled the rampage of the Nine-Tails' chakra.
However, the Nine-Tails' tyranny and evil forced him to pay extra attention to Naruto's current situation.
After a moment's hesitation, Kakashi spoke softly, "Naruto..."
"Um?"
The moment Kakashi's eyes met Naruto's, his Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly activated.
The powerful eye force instantly acted on Naruto's mind, and Naruto's eyelids gradually became heavy, and his consciousness slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing Naruto fall into a peaceful sleep, Kakashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression immediately turned serious again.
"Naruto, I need to make sure you're fully aware of your condition..."
Kakashi's figure had already quietly appeared in Naruto's consciousness space.
The entire consciousness space was extremely vast and empty, surrounded by an eerie silence and desolation, as if filled with countless indescribable secrets and mysteries.
Kakashi moved forward steadily and slowly.
Finally, he arrived at the place where the Nine-Tails was sealed deep within Naruto's consciousness space.
However, just as Kakashi was about to examine the seal...
However, they discovered that the Nine-Tailed Fox, which should have been firmly sealed here, had completely disappeared without a trace, leaving the entire sealed area empty and desolate.
Something's not right!
Kakashi's heart sank suddenly. He raised his head and quickly looked around, trying to find any trace of the Nine-Tails.
When his gaze fell upon the seal, he suddenly froze in shock.
Above the space of consciousness, a strange moon was hanging.
The moon was an eerie blood red, exuding a strange and cold aura.
As Kakashi gazed upon it, the blood-red moon gradually transformed into the shape of a Mangekyou Sharingan!
Upon seeing this scene, Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged within him:
"A Mangekyou Sharingan is hidden in Naruto's consciousness?!"
Kakashi simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He stared in horror at the unfamiliar yet oppressive Mangekyou Sharingan above him, but he couldn't discern who it belonged to.
He had never seen this Mangekyou Sharingan before because of its unique shape.
"How could this happen?"
Kakashi murmured to himself, his brow furrowed, as countless guesses and questions flashed through his mind.
He knew all along that the Nine-Tails seal within Naruto had been firmly controlled back in the time of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze...
It's impossible for such a powerful and unfamiliar Sharingan to exist within a sealed space.
Could it be...?
Was Naruto secretly manipulated and corrupted by an unknown Uchiha clan member using the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?
wrong!
Naruto was not corrupted!
This Sharingan was even suppressing the Nine-Tails' rampant chakra.
As Kakashi observed, he discovered that this Mangekyou Sharingan was connected to another chakra space.
This should be the place where the Nine-Tails' true form is sealed.
The problem is...
Whose Sharingan is this square-shaped one?
The Sharingan of Uchiha Abyss, Uchiha Shisui, the suspected Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Itachi all have clearly identified owners...
When will the fifth Mangekyou Sharingan user appear?
Kakashi stared in shock at the eerie Sharingan in the sky...
Suddenly...
Two banners in the style of the Warring States period drifted slowly down from the void and landed beside him, fluttering in the wind.
As the flags fluttered, a graceful and elegant figure slowly appeared in the depths.
She wore a retro Warring States period outfit, her figure was slender and graceful, her black hair flowed like a waterfall, and her eyes were calm and deep.
Kakashi and she locked eyes, and in that instant, it was as if the whole world fell silent, leaving only their silent gazes.
The Sharingan on the moon closed and disappeared in an instant.
Transfer it to her eyes...
"Uchiha Corruptor, is it you who stole my other Sharingan?"
The woman unleashed her power instantly, charging in with ferocity!
