Chapter 200 The Slug Immortal's Fate! The Toad's Fear
The crimson blood flowing slowly on the ground added a touch of eeriness to this lifeless water town, and the gradually spreading stench of blood overpowered the smell of street garbage.
Uchiha Izumi chose to use her own methods to enforce her absolute justice in the Land of Water.
Even if these children were sold to human traffickers by their parents, it might not constitute a crime in the Land of Water.
But in the girl's eyes, to act indifferent to all of this would be a desecration of justice!
The rules established by the laws of the Water Kingdom are not necessarily correct!
This is something that Senior Chi Quan once taught me.
If one's beliefs and actions are as clear as a mirror, without the slightest confusion or violation of the will of justice, then one's actions are true justice!
so-
She attacked the three human traffickers; three fleeting flashes of light from her blade instantly claimed their lives.
However, the girl did not kill the human trafficker in an overly bloody manner.
These children, who are severely malnourished and clearly have suffered some psychological trauma, should certainly not be shown overly bloody scenes, otherwise it would likely cause them even greater distress.
Therefore, the method adopted by Quan is very simple and straightforward.
It was a single stab through the heart, stopping their hearts from beating.
When the three human traffickers collapsed to the ground, their faces blank and their bodies weak.
Blood slowly flowed from their chests.
"Don't look down at them." Izumi had subtly sheathed her ninja sword, then gently crouched down, smiling at the children bound in chains before her. "Look at me. My name is Uchiha Izumi, a ninja from the Konoha Village Police Force. From today onwards, these bad guys will no longer be able to harm you."
Juzo Biwa approached with a complicated expression and asked, "You and Izumi Uchiha only intend to wipe out the evil in the Land of Water. If you're going to take care of these demons, do you still have time to uphold justice?"
Quan fell into a brief silence.
"We can't just do nothing, and besides, Senior Chi Quan has tacitly approved of this." Finally, she let out a soft sigh and said, "When a villain appears in front of you, even though you could easily kill them within your capabilities, you still don't act."
"I cannot accept such indifference. I choose to believe in absolute justice and follow Senior Ikezumi so that I can work with him to eradicate all evil in the ninja world."
"Whether it's a major evil or a minor one, as long as it's within my capabilities, and as long as I see it, I will never let it go."
This time, it was Pipa Juzo's turn to fall silent.
He looked at the timid little devils and said, "I have a few trustworthy friends in the Land of Water. I can give them money to help take care of these little devils."
Quan stood up and smiled broadly: "Thank you."
With a cold expression, Juzo Biwa said, "Don't forget that I'm now on Uchiha Ikezumi's side. Strictly speaking, I also believe in absolute justice."
"Now I'm your colleague too. If a brat like you can be so wholeheartedly devoted to justice, so can I."
This Mr. Juzo Biwa, he seems to have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, but in reality, he wants to help these children even more than I do. — This thought flashed through Izumi Uchiha's mind.

at the same time.
Leaf.
Jiraiya forced himself to temporarily forget about the fact that "Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't understand why he's searching for the prophesied child."
He found Naruto Uzumaki once again.
He then appeared in front of Naruto in a very comical and bizarre pose, blocking Naruto's path.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Son of Mount Myōboku, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the freest hero in the ninja world! Jiraiya, the Sage, has arrived!"
Jiraiya grinned at Naruto, "Naruto Uzumaki, you've rejected me time and again. It's because you don't know how powerful I am. I can train you to be the best Kage in Konoha!"
"I can even teach you many powerful ninjutsu techniques. You should already know that there's a terrifying entity within you, right? I can also teach you how to control it and how to use its power!"
"Hey, weirdo." The cold, childish voice didn't come from Naruto's mouth, but from Sasuke next to him: "This is the fifth time. If you keep bothering us, we'll call the police."
Naruto frowned, his little face showing a look of disgust: "I've already said I'm not interested in your teachings."
"I usually have teachers like Iruka-sensei, Izumi ...senpai, and Tachibana-jiro-senpai as my mentors, and the Hokage-sama also gives me some guidance occasionally."
"I don't need your weird, wonderful immortal!"
Jiraiya was taken aback: "A perverted sage?!"
Sasuke crossed his arms and said coldly, "Don't think we haven't investigated you, you strange old man. We already know that some of the novels you write are very indecent. We've also heard some rumors in the village that you used to peep into women's bathhouses."
"Don't let us catch you red-handed, you creepy old man! Otherwise, we'll definitely throw you into Konoha Prison and lock you up for several years!"
Jiraiya broke out in a cold sweat, never expecting that his novel would be read by these two children.
In the eyes of these kids, the male art in their novels, cough, is indeed a bit indecent.
But Intimacy Paradise isn't just a pure pornographic book!
The real key point there is the ninja way that I summarized myself!
"Hoo!" Jiraiya took a deep breath. It seemed he had to reveal something to make Naruto realize the weight of the burden he carried.
Jiraiya straightened up, his expression turning serious. "Naruto. Since you believe in absolute justice, you should know that this ninja world is terminally ill, right?"
Naruto nodded.
He has witnessed many evils under the guidance of Teacher Chi Quan and Senior Quan.
The crimes committed in Konoha Village alone were enough to shock him.
This caused a huge psychological shock to Naruto, who was at that age.
"The ninja world needs a revolution. Only a ninja world that has undergone the right revolution can recover from its critical state."
The person who could bring about change in the ninja world—was called the Child of Prophecy by the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!
Jiraiya's words left Naruto and Sasuke looking at each other in bewilderment.
Jiraiya continued with a sigh, "I have been wandering the ninja world for countless years in search of the Child of Prophecy. But I never expected that the true Child of Prophecy is right here in Konoha!"
Sasuke seemed to have a sudden inspiration: "You old man, the child of prophecy you mentioned, could it be Naruto, that loser?"
"right.
99
Jiraiya nodded frankly: "Naruto is the child of prophecy, he is the savior who will bring change to the ninja world. But the prerequisite is—he needs to be carefully taught by me. I need to teach him what the ninja world is like, only in this way—can Naruto become the savior of prophecy."
Jiraiya's expression was serious as he spoke earnestly, "That's precisely why I'm so persistent. Naruto, you bear not only the burden of justice, but the entire ninja world."
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Fukasaku and Shima, who were standing on his shoulders, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Jiraiya has completely abandoned his hesitation.
Since he laid his cards on the table with Naruto Uzumaki, it means that Jiraiya was already prepared to teach the Child of Prophecy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's disapproval did not have a significant impact on young Jiraiya.
It only gave him that brief moment—.
I'm just a little distracted.
"To place the weight of the future of the ninja world on the shoulders of a child is irresponsible and selfish. Well, at least that's how it seems to me. As for what my true self thinks, I don't know; perhaps it's the same as my opinion."
Just then, a clear and melodious female voice rang out from nowhere, sounding particularly abrupt at this moment.
Jiraiya was taken aback for a moment.
The two hermits from Mount Myōboku on his shoulders suddenly narrowed their pupils.
Fukasaku and Shima immediately fixed their gazes on Naruto's golden hair.
Suddenly, a tiny slug emerged from Naruto's hair!
"This is—" Fukasaku murmured, "A split form of the Slug Sage? I've heard that each of the Slug Sage's split forms has a different personality and mindset. However, sometimes, the Slug Sage's original mindset can also descend upon its split form." Shima said solemnly, "Honey, shouldn't the most crucial question right now be why the Slug Sage is here? Although it's a split form, but—hmm?"
suddenly.
Shima, the sage, turned his gaze in shock to Sasuke on the other side.
Surprisingly, a slug sage clone was also perched on Sasuke's shoulder!
The voice of this clone was exactly the same as that of the clone on Naruto's body. It spoke, "This child has rejected you three times already. You don't need to keep forcing him, do you? You have to respect his thoughts, even if he's just a young child."
Shima Sage realized something was wrong: "Why does this Uchiha brat also have a split version of the Slug Sage?"
"Because Shikkotsu Forest has reached a cooperation agreement with Uchiha Ikezumi, or more precisely, an alliance." Another voice rang out, also the voice of the Slug Sage.
Even Jiraiya started sweating.
Jiraiya immediately looked down and squinted to get a closer look. He saw a tiny, ant-like creature in front of his feet, and it was that creature that had been speaking.
From the rooftop of the house on the left, the voice of the slug sage's split body echoed: "Stalking a child time and time again seems a bit excessive, Jiraiya-sama."
On Jiraiya's hair, a flea-sized, split creature had somehow appeared. It said, "If Naruto is truly destined to bring about change to the ninja world, why must Mount Myōboku raise him? Is this truly the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, or just his own selfish desires?"
Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't even notice when a split entity fell onto his head.
Is this the skill of the "immortals" in the three holy lands?
"Moreover—" the Slug Sage's voice rang out from behind Jiraiya, "Prophecy—is not immutable. If the future can be predicted, it can also be changed. How dare the Great Toad Sage assert that the future trajectory hasn't changed?"
In the air, there seemed to be slug fragments, lighter than feathers, floating in the wind, their voices faint and eerie: "If the future has been altered, how can the Great Toad Sage be so certain that if something is developed according to the original prophecy, the future will inevitably be as it foretold?"
A slug clone, larger than a human, brazenly appeared behind Naruto and Sasuke, and slowly said, "Mount Myōboku has interfered in the ninja world for too long. Shouldn't we let the ninja world develop according to its natural course?"
The gentle voices of the slug's split larvae echoed slowly from all directions, layer upon layer: "Are we right?"
The Slug Sage's voice was very gentle and soft, but it sent chills down the spines of Jiraiya, Fukasaku, and Shima.
Unbeknownst to them, they had been surrounded by the Slug Fairy!
They couldn't even count how many slug clones were lurking throughout Konoha!
There were already clones that had unknowingly taken root in Jiraiya's hair.
Is it possible that a clone has already entered Jiraiya's body through his nostrils, ears, or horse's eye?
This is definitely a warning from the Slug Sage to Mount Myōboku!
Shikkotsu Forest has actually started getting involved in the ninja world's affairs!
Furthermore, since Shikkotsu Forest only had one Slug Sage to begin with, Shikkotsu Forest's fate is equivalent to Slug Sage's fate!
That was an immortal who had lived for over a thousand years!
"Jiraiya, the situation isn't good." Fukasaku said in a low, grave voice, "Perhaps the Slug Sage won't break ties with Mount Myōboku over this, but if a conflict really breaks out, the residents near Konoha will be in danger."
Shima the Immortal said warily, "Honey, why are you being so evasive? The situation is that we don't know how long the Slug Immortal has been laying his plans in the vicinity; we have absolutely no information."
"If it really attacks—with the three of us completely unprepared, it could severely injure us instantly. Unless—we immediately activate Sage Mode."
"But if you put on this kind of stance in front of the Slug Sage, then you're probably really going to break off all pretense of civility."
Jiraiya didn't even dare to take a deep breath, fearing that he might inhale some invisible slug splitting organism in the air.
"I've never seen Tsunade use this technique when summoning the Slug Sage before," Jiraiya muttered. "It seems—the Slug Sage was serious about preventing Mount Myōboku from contacting the Child of Prophecy. And it's true that it formed an alliance with Uchiha Ikezumi."
