Chapter 41 - Chapter 41 Tsunade's Helplessness

"You know, Jiraiya's importance in my heart is simply not enough.""To ask me to give up my body for a Jiraiya, isn't that a bit much to ask?"Tsunade said, crossing her arms over her chest, clearly displeased.This wasn't Tsunade just making excuses.Although Jiraiya and she were both Sannin, growing up together since childhood, and staying in Team 7 after graduating from the Ninja Academy.They were taken as disciples by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then, during the Second Ninja World War, they collectively faced the demigod Hanzō of the Salamander from Amegakure.In the end, they successfully survived thanks to Hanzō's leniency.They were eventually recognized by him, and the three became famous, known as the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.But truthfully, Jiraiya was more like an older brother in Tsunade's heart.There wasn't much romantic affection.Especially since, although he secretly loved her, he never pursued her.Instead, he often indulged in pleasure and frequently peeped into women's bathhouses.How could Tsunade possibly like such a person?She was, after all, from a prestigious family, the sole heir of the Senju Clan.Even if the Senju Clan had declined like the Uchiha, with only a handful of members left.But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse; even if the Senju Clan was in decline, it still had its own foundation.That was the ninja scrolls left by the First Hokage Senju Hashirama and the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, as well as Konoha's scroll of seals.Tsunade believed that no matter how strong Bai Yu was, his lineage of power was not bad.However, some things in ninjutsu were overpowered in other worlds.For example, Shadow Clone Jutsu and Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.Both of these skills were very overpowered.Unlike ordinary clone jutsu, the clones created by these two skills had physical bodies.

Moreover, it can inherit fifty percent of the main body's strength.Cultivating battle techniques and ninjutsu yields twice the results with half the effort.Although only Naruto dares to do this.One has to admit, as long as one can withstand the mental backlash from Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, then this skill is a divine technique.Of course, Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu doesn't only have this function.Initially, this ability was used for intelligence gathering, feint attacks on enemies, or assisting in combat.It's precisely because when Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu's clones disappear, the main body has to endure a massive influx of information.Most people simply can't handle it.Even the current Tsunade can only use two Shadow Clones to handle official duties on her behalf.While she stays in the casino, indulging in a life of luxury.She believes Bai Yu will be interested in the scroll of seals.Especially in Shadow Clone Jutsu and Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.For someone like Bai Yu, wouldn't it be a time-saving divine technique?When he's busy, he can send out a Shadow Clone to handle things.Enjoying himself while gaining benefits.Wouldn't that be wonderful?Of course, if Bai Yu were even more perverse, he could engage in more 'play'.It just depends on whether Bai Yu is interested.This is also why Tsunade confidently sought out Bai Yu this time."How about this, I know you probably don't care for our clan's ninjutsu.""As long as you help me rescue Jiraiya.""I'll lend you the scroll of seals to read, and you can learn whatever you wish.""How about it?"For Jiraiya, Tsunade had truly gone to great lengths.For Konoha, and for herself, she had to protect Jiraiya.Current Konoha is already in a precarious state, with the Council of Elders, led by Danzō, constantly coveting the position of Hokage.Jiraiya, though an old pervert and a scoundrel,is the most steadfast in supporting her.If Jiraiya were to die, and Konoha were to face another major crisis,her position as Hokage would become unstable.She understands this better than anyone.The Council of Elders would never stand idly by; if Danzō staged a coup, she would have no choice but to abdicate.At that point, all of Konoha would fall into the hands of those three old geezers.Tsunade did not want to see that happen; it was the Konoha her grandfather built.She didn't want it to become the private property of that dog, Danzō.What kind of living hell would Konoha become then?Tsunade knew without even thinking.Did they really think she was foolish and didn't know that Konoha's biggest cancer was Danzō and his ilk?She knew back then that the deaths of Nawaki and Dan were the work of certain individuals in the village.The purpose, naturally, was for the Senju Clan's bloodline.It was also because of these events that her dear friend Orochimaru fell into the madness of immortality.Tsunade knew very well who the mastermind behind all of this was.But what could she do?Her teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen, tacitly allowed it.At the very least, he didn't stop it.Otherwise, why do you think the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan became so desolate?It's all because Sarutobi Hiruzen eliminated dissidents to hold onto his position as Hokage.Coupled with Danzō's meddling.The two great clans, the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, once famous throughout the Ninja World and founders of Konoha, simply vanished without a trace.Tsunade even suspected that if Danzō and her teacher continued to control Konoha for a while longer,Konoha would completely perish in continuous internal strife.And that's really not a joke.You can see it from the past Ninja World Wars.Although Konoha still produces many talents, the number of capable individuals is decreasing.Konoha once dominated the entire Ninja World, making all other ninjas unable to raise their heads.But what about the current Fourth Ninja World War?Except for Naruto and Sasuke, everyone else is a small fry; only Guy-sensei delivered that kick.Making everyone aware of the power of the Eight Gates Formation.As for the rest, how many are truly powerful?They are all weaklings.So, to prevent Danzō's conspiracy from succeeding, Tsunade had to protect Jiraiya, both for public and private reasons.Jiraiya's reputation, both in the Ninja World and in Konoha, is very high.Especially among civilian ninjas, even more so.As long as Jiraiya doesn't die, then with an Kage-level supporting her, she can rest easy.With two Kage-level individuals, Danzō wouldn't dare to impeach her."Hmm?""The scroll of seals, that's certainly worth a look!"Just as Tsunade thought, Bai Yu was indeed interested in the scroll of seals.And he was indeed interested in those two divine techniques.Shadow Clone Jutsu and Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, those are truly rare divine techniques.Of course, the Three Basic Jutsu are also like that.The most underestimated divine techniques in the entire Naruto World are the basic Three Basic Jutsu taught at the Ninja Academy.Transformation Jutsu: An essential divine technique for spies, capable of disguising oneself as anyone.Clone Jutsu: Can create a clone with no combat ability, a divine technique for stalling time, confusing enemies, and escaping.Substitution Jutsu: Can swap places with a pre-prepared object to block fatal attacks, a life-saving divine technique.If Bai Yu could learn these divine techniques, he would have many more means of self-preservation.But Bai Yu still had his sights on Tsunade."But that's not enough, I want to learn your ninjutsu too!""What do you mean?"Rush to Recharge
