Chapter 103 Tsunade: That old bastard Danzo dares to supervise me? Naruto: Here we go!
"What is this?!"
The sudden scene caused a flicker of surprise in Tsunade's eyes.
She subconsciously looked around and even sensed it with her chakra. She discovered that there was a strange power permeating this space, as if it completely isolated her from the surroundings of Shizune.
Seeing Tsunade's shocked expression, Shizune secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Lady Tsunade, this is the ability I gained after eating that fruit. Within this space, I can freely manipulate the shape and position of anything."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shine's fingers moved slightly, and the air in the space seemed to be drawn by an invisible force.
The surrounding objects slowly rose up, and even Tsunade's body was slightly suspended in mid-air.
As Tsunade sensed this strange power, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes.
She had never seen such an ability before; it was beyond her comprehension.
The next second, Tsunade saw Shizune casually conjure a chakra scalpel.
With a flicker, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of a house in the distance, cutting down the building under Tsunade's gaze.
In an instant, the house was easily cut in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
Under Tsunade's gaze, Shizune was pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle, resulting in a bizarre and incongruous mess.
Then he slashed at the pig next to him, easily cutting it without causing any harm. The pig didn't feel any pain, and no blood spurted out.
"Lady Tsunade, this is the power I gained from eating that fruit."
After doing all this, Jingyin said softly, "In this space, I can control everything."
Shizune began to recount in detail the abilities she gained from eating the fruit.
She described it in great detail, leaving no detail out.
He even recounted how he tested and witnessed those incredible abilities.
Tsunade, who had been watching the silence, was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.
Especially upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade's voice betrayed a hint of disbelief: "Shizune, is this really the power of that fruit?"
She knew Jingyin wouldn't lie to her, but it was all just too unbelievable.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Shizune nodded and said seriously, "This power is extremely strong and very special. I feel that this fruit is no ordinary thing; it may hide secrets that we don't know about. At present, I don't know much about this fruit."
"This is all I can figure out right now, but I remember when I obtained this fruit, someone said it was some kind of surgical fruit that could create a surgical space. What I've shown so far is just child's play."
"That one also said that people and creatures whose bodies are cut open while enveloped in it will not die or bleed. It can remove harmful toxic substances from the cut target's body, such as bullets that have been shot into the body, pathogens that cause disease, poisons, etc., and replace diseased or necrotic organs, thereby achieving the effect of healing injuries and diseases."
Jingyin began to recount how she obtained this magical fruit, her interactions with Lin Mo, and so on.
As Shizune continued her narration, Tsunade's expression gradually became serious, and her eyes deepened.
His face showed confusion, clearly finding everything Shizune said unbelievable.
After Shizune finished speaking, Tsunade fell silent, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
"Therefore, this so-called jar is quite magical, as it can produce this kind of fruit."
"This fruit and the power it brings are indeed very mysterious, but also very dangerous!"
"Furthermore, why would someone like that open a shop in Konoha Village? And why would they sell such a strange jar?"
"If you can get it, then why can't others? After all, you only opened one jar, and you also saw the young lady of the Hyuga clan go there, which means that the Hyuga clan is also opening that jar."
"Who exactly is that shop owner?"
Tsunade's mind was racing with thoughts. A long while passed before she finally let out a long sigh and said seriously, "Shizune, let's go back to Konoha!"
"If we go back to Konoha, Lady Tsunade will also attract the attention of the Konoha leadership."
Hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune hesitated and said, "I don't think that mysterious shop is very well-known. I even suspect that the higher-ups in Konoha don't know about it. If you go back rashly, Lady Tsunade, won't it attract the attention of the Konoha leadership?"
"Based on my understanding of Konoha, if Danzo knew about this, he would have already taken action; at the very least, he wouldn't have allowed an ordinary person to open the can."
"I opened this jar mainly because of TunTun; she was attracted by a rice ball inside."
"That's easy."
Hearing this, Tsunade smiled brightly: "After returning to Konoha, stay for a few days, and then go to that magical jar shop at night when they're not paying attention."
"If I remember correctly, the Chunin Exams in Konoha are about to begin, right?"
"With the Chunin Exams starting, how could they possibly be paying attention to me? There's absolutely no need to care."
"That old bastard Danzo dares to supervise me? Why don't we just build a house around that shop? That way we can live there openly and honestly."
"There are many other options, but for now, let's go back to Konoha first."
"Um."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune nodded gently.
Since Tsunade has her own ideas, then we should listen to her.
"But why didn't this fruit work for you, Lady Tsunade?"
The next second, Shizune looked at the Devil Fruit in her hand with a very troubled expression.
Lady Tsunade, like herself, also took a bite and spat it out, but while she had this ability, Tsunade did not.
"I suspect this is a one-time use item."
Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade looked at the Devil Fruit, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "From the moment you put it in your mouth, the special power contained in this fruit was absorbed by you. It won't have the same effect on others if they eat it. That's the only explanation."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Shizune was immediately distressed: "Then isn't this fruit useless?"
"If you want to know more, you'll have to go back and find that mysterious shop owner you mentioned."
Tsunade squinted: "But before that, do you need to rest?"
Seeing Shizune's travel-worn appearance, Tsunade knew that Shizune must not have had a proper rest during the past three days of travel.
"No, it's not necessary."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune quickly shook her head: "I can still hold on."
"Never mind, I'll just take a good rest today."
Tsunade, who was just about to leave, immediately shook her head and said, "You're definitely not going to make it back in this condition. It's okay if you're one person late."
"Let's go back to our rooms and rest first."
Tsunade patted Shizune on the shoulder: "Have something good to eat. It won't be as comfortable as it is here in Tanabata Street when we get back to Konoha."
"OK."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune nodded quickly.
Everything is up to Tsunade.
"That mysterious shop owner."
As Tsunade led Shizune back to their lodgings, she inquired about Lin Mo's background.
When she learned that Lin Mo was very young, Tsunade seemed thoughtful.
While Tsunade was deep in thought.
the other side.
Lakeside in the Land of Waves.
A small boat sails by beneath the broken bridge.
Finally, the ship slowly came to a stop, and Naruto and the others got off.
"Naruto, why aren't you looking forward to it at all?"
Sakura Haruno looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who seemed "bored" the whole time, with a very confused expression.
She didn't quite understand why Naruto, who had been on the ship for so long, wasn't on high alert and seemed completely bored, as if he had seen through all worldly desires.
"What's there to look forward to?"
Naruto Uzumaki sighed while holding the little dragon: "With Kakashi-sensei around, if we encounter an attacking Jonin, Kakashi-sensei will definitely be the first to run. What we need to do is run as fast as we can."
Kakashi: "."
"Naruto, stop thinking about running away."
Kakashi looked over expressionlessly: "If I'm blocked, and there are other enemies, you'll definitely have to deal with them too."
"Cheer up!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked to the front.
"With that kind of guts, I think you shouldn't be a ninja."
Tazuna looked at Naruto with a sneer: "Not only is he short, but he's also such a coward."
"Old man, you're just hoping Kakashi-sensei will protect you."
Naruto wasn't angry at Tazuna's words, but instead gave a cold look: "At most, we've failed our mission, but you... you're dead."
This damn old man kept calling him "shorty," which made him very uncomfortable!
Dazner: "."
Upon hearing this, Tazuna was speechless, his fists clenching slightly.
But he still quickly followed Kakashi's pace.
It's definitely better to follow this Jonin than to follow these recent graduates.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
After getting ashore, Naruto continued walking.
As Naruto walked through a thicket of grass and trees, he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings and decided to slow down.
Sasuke Uchiha, noticing Naruto's actions, frowned slightly and subconsciously slowed his pace.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind rang out!
A streak of cold light flashed out from the dense forest not far away, heading straight for Naruto and the others.
It was a huge, spinning broadsword, its blade reflecting a blinding light in the sunlight, carrying a sharp killing intent as it sliced through the air and flew rapidly.
"Danger!"
Kakashi reacted quickly, a serious expression instantly appearing in his eyes: "Everyone, get out of the way!"
As he spoke, Kakashi reached out his hand.
Before Kakashi could even grab Naruto, Naruto had already grabbed Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha and jumped away to avoid the sudden, deadly attack.
"Splash!"
The boomerang blade whistled overhead, creating a strong gust of wind that shook the nearby trees.
The sharp wind even carved a deep mark on the ground, as if it were about to tear the earth apart.
"That was close!"
Sakura Haruno's eyes widened, her face showing a look of shock.
She never expected to be attacked in this place.
The next second, Sakura Haruno looked at Naruto Uzumaki with a confused expression.
Naruto, how come your reaction was even faster than Kakashi's just now?
Was it just her imagination?
Something's not right.
Beside him, Sasuke Uchiha frowned, thinking about how Naruto Uzumaki had slowed down earlier.
Does this mean that Naruto Uzumaki detected the danger before Kakashi-sensei?
How is that possible!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
At that moment, the broadsword drew an arc in the air and then accurately struck a thick tree trunk in the distance, making a dull "thud".
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the woods.
The man held an equally enormous decapitation sword in his hand, a cold smile on his face.
"So it was Momochi Zabuza, the rogue ninja from the Mist Village."
Looking at this person, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Naruto Uzumaki without leaving a trace.
Just as Naruto predicted, the one who appeared was a rogue ninja from the Mist Village.
"I never expected to run into Kakashi with Sharingan here."
Zabuza Momochi, who appeared then, looked at Kakashi with narrowed eyes and said, "Excuse me, I only want that old man's life."
He didn't want to clash with Kakashi.
He knew Kakashi's reputation all too well.
All he cared about was the mission.
Before he came, he hadn't expected that this escort mission would involve a copy jonin from Konoha.
No wonder the Demon Brothers didn't come back before.
"Protect Mr. Tazner."
Kakashi slowly said as he lifted his headband, "Naruto, remember this mission. Running away is never the right thing to do. Leave this guy to me."
"I see."
Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto Uzumaki took a deep breath and stared at Zabuza Momochi.
Naruto didn't seem too surprised by Zabuza's appearance.
Moreover, in front of Kakashi-sensei, he couldn't possibly do the opposite.
Moreover, he was indeed going to make contact with Zabuza Momochi.
In an instant, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno formed a swastika to protect Tazuna.
"He's just an old man, is it really that big of a deal?"
At this moment, Zabuza Momochi looked at Kakashi, whose Sharingan had already appeared, and said with a headache, "I didn't expect to witness the legendary Sharingan so soon. It's truly an honor."
"You are known for being able to instantly see through an enemy's ninjutsu and copy it. It is said that you have copied thousands of ninjutsu techniques."
"Never mind, I need to finish that old man off quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zabuza Momochi charged towards Tazuna.
In a split second, Kakashi blocked it, and the two collided instantly.
Zabuza Momochi retreated, stepping onto the lake surface and sighing, "It seems I have to defeat you, Kakashi, first."
As he spoke, Zabuza Momochi's fingers flew rapidly, forming a series of complex hand seals.
As he moved, the flow of chakra in the air became more intense.
"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"
With Zabuza's low shout, the surrounding water vapor seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Thick white fog rose from the lake, like a heavy white curtain, gradually enveloping the entire area.
The fog grew thicker and thicker.
Visibility around us decreased rapidly, and what was once a clear view became blurry, as if the whole world had been swallowed up by the thick fog.
The scenery in my field of vision gradually blurred, as if it had been erased by an invisible hand.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Everyone's nerves were on edge, the whole scene was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, and everyone's heartbeats quickened.
Naruto Uzumaki stared intently at the emerging white mist, his heart filled with anticipation.
He knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.
And all of this perfectly matches the storyline of the comics he is familiar with.
Naruto Uzumaki quickly recalled the next scene from the manga and whispered to Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno beside him, "Our objective is to protect the target. Once Kakashi-sensei disperses this white mist, we'll cover Tazuna's escape immediately."
Soon, Kakashi will be trapped in the water by Zabuza Momochi's true form, and they will face Zabuza Momochi's clone.
"Um."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha nodded slightly.
"Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki quickly formed hand seals, and immediately "bang bang bang" sounds rang out as one Naruto Uzumaki after another appeared.
Some transformed into his likeness, some into Tazuna, and some into Kakashi.
"Forehead."
Seeing this, Kakashi, who was on guard, had a strange expression.
Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is perfectly timed for this situation.
"Is this a shadow clone?"
Amidst the thick white fog, Zabuza Momochi's voice also showed slight surprise.
Even as a Jonin of Kirigakure, this was the first time he had ever seen it.
"There it is!"
As soon as he spoke, Kakashi's Sharingan activated, pinpointing the source of Zabuza's voice.
Even amidst the dense white fog, the Sharingan's perception remained incredibly sharp.
The instant Zabuza uttered his voice, Kakashi dashed out like lightning, arriving almost instantly in the direction from which the sound came.
"Um?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Zabuza's eyes. He hadn't expected Kakashi to be able to pinpoint his location so quickly in such an environment.
However, he did not panic. Instead, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he swung his Executioner's Blade out suddenly, the blade whistling sharply as it slashed straight at Kakashi's head.
Seeing this, Kakashi used his kunai to block Zabuza's greatsword with lightning speed. The blade and the kunai collided, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
"Bang!"
The powerful impact instantly dispersed the surrounding white mist, tearing a huge gap in the dense fog as the two clashed violently, revealing their figures locked in combat.
Zabuza possessed immense strength; the force of his Executioner's Blade nearly broke Kakashi's arm. However, Kakashi steadily blocked the attack, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his body remaining completely still.
Their eyes met for a fleeting moment.
"Not bad, Kakashi!"
Zabuza sneered, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his greatsword, the blade flashing horizontally, and swiftly changed angle, sweeping it horizontally towards Kakashi's side.
