Chapter 75: It's All Illusions
Tsunade didn't open the Yin Seal, and then used Creation Regeneration to rush up to Manga, because Jiraiya stopped her.
If the Yin Seal is opened, the next step is already beyond the scope of 'competition and competition', this heads-up is not a life-and-death battle, not so much that Tsunade suspects that Ethan wants to test his strength, but also wants to see how much combat power Ethan's Mu Dun has.
It turns out that Ethan does have the strength to force back Orochimaru, and although his Mu Dun is very different from the Mu Dun of the original Hokage, it is indeed Mu Dun.
Sure that's enough!
What's more, Tsunade had already used a creation regeneration in the battle with Orochimaru not long ago, and this ninjutsu was a heavy burden on Tsunade himself - although she was equivalent to immortality when she used this ninjutsu, she would reduce her lifespan when she used it, and frequent use would only cause her to die earlier.
Jiraiya didn't want to cut Tsunade's lifespan because of a competition, so he stopped the fight.
The cherry blossoms that had gathered together slowly drifted away, and then fell to the ground so lightly, and as Ethan stopped his ninjutsu, these cherry blossoms slowly disappeared.
As with Jiraiya, who were also paying attention to these cherry blossoms, there were also Sasuke and Naruto in the distance, and the two of them were very familiar with the way Ethan fought just now, which was an enemy they had fought not long ago.
"The way Ethan uses flower petals...... It's a bit like ...... with my Airo."
"Yes!"
Sasuke clenched his fists, and he remembered the powerlessness he felt when he faced Airo, when no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't defeat that terrible guy.
And Ethan is able to use ninjutsu that is very similar to my Airo, which means that Ethan's strength is at least similar to that of my Airo?
Considering that Ethan had forced back Orochimaru and fought against Uchiha Itachi and did not suffer a loss, he was still in front of him just now with the other of the three ninjas, Tsunade, who was about to become the Hokage.
"Original...... Is his real strength so strong?"
He suddenly felt that he did not choose Orochimaru, but chose to let Ethan help him improve his strength, which was a very correct choice.
This is the end of the competition, although someone is very dissatisfied with this, but she also remembers that her Yin Seal was only used once not long ago, and the stored chakra has been consumed a lot, if she uses it again to create regeneration, I am afraid that the old bottom accumulated over the years will be exhausted.
"Damn, I couldn't force this little ghost to go all out!"
This is the most unpleasant point of Tsunade, and like the three generations, it gives her a depressed feeling that she is old and completely surpassed by the new generation.
Fortunately, Tsunade's mind quickly came to his senses, and her purpose here was not to share the victory with Ethan.
"Anyway, you're ready to go about your normal operations. ”
With Tsunade's visit, Ethan no longer has to play the role of an injured person, and can go out and carry out tasks at will.
"Looks like my vacation is over. ”
"That's right, there are still a lot of things to do next, you are now one of the core combat forces of Konoha Village, how can you be lazy here?"
"When did I become the core combat force of Konoha?"
He hadn't been graduating from the ninja school for a long time, right? Even the middle ninja had just completed the promotion procedures, and he hadn't even officially announced it to the outside world, like Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki didn't know that he had been promoted to middle ninja.
"Forced back Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi, and fought with me without a win...... Do you think there are a few ninjas in Konoha who can do this?"
Tsunade just casually made an analogy, but he didn't expect Ethan in front of him to really break his fingers and calculate it carefully.
"Three generations of adults, you and Jiraiya, the two beings who are both three ninjas, Kai-sensei who burns youth, Kakashi who can raise his energy and exert his ...... with all his might"
And Shimura Tunzo should also be able to do it, after all, it's just a retreat, he has enough messy hole cards, it's hard to kill or defeat those two, but it should be able to do it simply by forcing the other party back.
Tsunade didn't expect Ethan to actually say a few names, and it's not strange that the three generations of old men, himself, and Jilai next to him are not surprised, as for Kakashi and Kai...... She only has a general understanding of the strength of these two, are they so strong?
At this time, I'm afraid that no one except Ethan knows what terrifying combat power those two guys are hiding.
It's just that if you force back Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi, Kai, who has mastered the ultimate move of the Eight Gates Dunjia, can definitely do it, and he doesn't even need to open the Eight Gates.
As for Kakashi, he needed a prerequisite for him to do so: he realized that he already had a kaleidoscope writing wheel and was able to use his divine might in battle.
In addition to these two, although there are many more of Konoha Shangnin, their strength is obviously one grade lower. But even so, Konoha Kaminobi's strength is not bad, and with the numerical advantage, even Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi will feel a headache.
Konoha is really full of talents...... This is good news for Tsunade, who is about to become Hokage.
But Tsunade thought about Ethan's subtext from another angle: "You mean that only these few people in Konoha are stronger than you?
"No, no, no!"
Ethan immediately waved his hand, with an expression of 'I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!', which softened the strange expression of Jilai a little: it seems that Tsunade is thinking too much, and Ethan is not such an arrogant imp.
However, the next sentence caused Jiraiya to squirt out of the wine that had just been in his mouth (they were sitting in the dining room of the Uchiha family).
"I just said they could do those things, but I didn't say they were better than me. ”
“......”
Tsunade squinted, those who were familiar with her knew that she was now on fire in her belly, and the calm on the surface was just a disguise that could be broken at the slightest poke, and at this time, if she didn't know how to flirt with life or death, then she would definitely explode.
Fortunately, Zilai also interjected at the right time, wanting to ease the tense atmosphere, and he was also very curious, why did Ethan, who has always been very low-key, suddenly say such arrogant remarks?
"Because no outsider hears ......"
“?”
“!?”
Naruto and Sasuke were confused, while Jiraiya and Tsunade were stunned at first, then startled, and the two of them made the same move almost at the same time.
Illusion: Solution!
With the movements of the two people, the surrounding scene suddenly changed strangely, and everything around them was twisted, and then suddenly shattered.
Untied?
Neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya's face improved, because they found that the scene around them had turned into a plain with no edge in sight, and there were eight trees around them, arranged in pairs in four directions, front, back, left, right, and left.
Sasuke and Naruto found that the rice bowl in their hands was gone, and suddenly found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place, looking at the grass that was swaying in the breeze, the petals of the flowers that were occasionally blown off the trees, and the dark blue night sky covered with stars......
The amazing thing is that it is a night scene, but there is a light that comes from nowhere, so that they can see everything around them clearly.
"Illusion...... When ......"
"From the very beginning. ”
Ethan's voice was ethereal, as if it was coming from all directions, making it almost impossible to tell where he was, and it was only then that they realized that Ethan had disappeared at some point, and they didn't realize it, as if Ethan had never been here.
"What a terrible illusion. ”
Everything seemed natural, as if that were it.
What surprised Tsunade the most was that as a medical ninja, she was immune to most illusions, but not only did she fall for this illusion, but she couldn't even crack it.
Illusions basically use chakras to interfere with the target's chakra, and then affect the target's own senses to complete their illusion effect.
Tsunade, as the top medical ninja, has very, very strong control over her chakra, which means that it is difficult for outsiders to interfere with her chakra, so ordinary illusions almost have no effect on her, and even if they work a little, she can quickly remove the illusion effect.
But this time, no matter how much she tried, there was no way to solve Ethan's illusion, as if she hadn't been tricked by it.
Everything in front of her clearly told her that she was in a magical illusion space.
"You said at the beginning...... When we first met?"
"Yes. ”
Tsunade bit his lip, he actually fell for the other party's trick from the moment they met, but why did Ethan use illusion as soon as they met?
"Why?"
It's not just Tsunade who wants to know this, but Jiraiya also wants to know: Is Ethan really a spy sent to Konoha by the enemy?
"To avoid trouble. ”
"What do you mean?"
"If I fight you without reservation, even if I only use a part of my strength, I will attract the attention of a certain guy...... No, I should say that I've been getting the attention of that old guy now, after all, there are several more eyeliners in the Uchiha mansion than when I first arrived. ”
“......”
Tsunade and Jiraiya suddenly fell silent, they immediately understood what Ethan was talking about, but Sasuke on the side was stunned for a moment, Ethan's words were a bit informative, and he couldn't digest them for a while.
Naruto was even more confused, he was not his own boring character, and when he didn't understand, he would simply ask, "What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, it's an old immortal who has his eye on me, and I don't really want to deal with that guy. ”
Ethan's voice was still coming from all directions, and the feeling of talking to someone who couldn't see made several people present very uncomfortable.
"Of course, if the new Hokage-sama also looks at that old thing and wants to get rid of him...... I'd be happy to help with that, too. ”
