Chapter 576 Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya Imprisoned
Chapter 576 Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya Imprisoned
Minato Namikaze's neck was precisely pressed onto an acupoint by Shisui Uchiha, and that just-right force instantly spread throughout his body.
All his strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, and his vision went black as he fainted.
Uchiha Shisui had anticipated this and caught his back firmly the moment he fell.
Then, supporting Minato Namikaze's arm, he slowly led him to the shadowy corner of the Hokage Building. He raised his chin at the two Uchiha ninjas on guard not far away, but with an unquestionable command: "Keep a close eye on him. Don't let him run around after he wakes up, and don't hurt him."
Two ninjas immediately stepped forward, gently supported Minato Namikaze, and stood guard by his side.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the open ground, Jiraiya was still in a stalemate.
The current Uchiha Ryuka has not only transplanted Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, but also Hashirama's cells.
With the double boost, his strength had already broken through the bottleneck, far surpassing that of ordinary Kage-level masters.
He had long suffered from a lack of formidable opponents, his strength going to waste, and a deep-seated, unspoken urge had been building within him. Therefore, he yearned for a thoroughly enjoyable contest.
At this moment, facing him was one of the legendary Sannin of the ninja world... Jiraiya!
Although Jiraiya was reeking of alcohol and was clearly drunk, his condition was far worse than usual.
But in Uchiha Ryuka's eyes, there was still an undisguised excitement, an excitement like a dormant flame being quietly ignited, his brows full of eager anticipation.
Let me see just how powerful Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, really is!
But this excitement lasted only a moment before he forcibly suppressed it.
Because this is in front of the Hokage Building, the core of Konoha's administrative affairs.
If a large-scale ninjutsu were to be used here, it would not only damage the Hokage Building and disturb the surrounding villagers, but it would also damage Konoha's image and draw criticism from the villagers.
This was something he absolutely could not allow, and something the Uchiha Sanfeng would never tolerate... He couldn't let his competitive spirit ruin everything.
Uchiha Ryuka activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and shouted with a serious expression, "Lord Jiraiya, surrender!"
He secretly activated the Sharingan's genjutsu, intending to take advantage of Jiraiya's drunkenness to control him and resolve this trouble.
Unexpectedly, Jiraiya had traveled the ninja world for many years, and his mental state had reached a level that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. His willpower was also far superior to that of ordinary ninjas.
Even though he was drunk at this moment, his strong physical abilities and instincts gave him extremely strong resistance to illusions.
The moment the illusion was activated, a brief moment of confusion flashed in Jiraiya's eyes, as if he had fallen into an illusion...
Tsunade's image involuntarily surfaced in his mind, along with images of the two of them training and playing together in their youth, and the countless times he had confessed his love to Tsunade only to be rejected.
But this confusion lasted only a moment before he shook his head sharply, instantly dispelling the chaos in his mind.
The confusion in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an uncontrollable anger.
"Boy, you dare use illusion magic against me?"
Jiraiya slowly raised his head, staring intently at Uchiha Ryuho, a ferocious glint flashing in his eyes.
Before he finished speaking, he shouted and slammed his feet into the ground, leaping into the air.
Immediately afterward, he rapidly formed hand seals in the air: "Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
Clearly, he was genuinely enraged and wanted to unleash this powerful ninjutsu to teach this arrogant junior a lesson.
Uchiha Ryuka's expression changed instantly, a sense of foreboding flashing in his eyes, and a hint of panic crossed his vision...
If Jiraiya were to successfully execute this technique, its wide-ranging destructive power would cause quite a stir.
It will not only damage the walls of the Hokage Building and the surrounding facilities, but may also disturb the nearby villagers.
If this happens, he will have no way to explain himself to Uchiha Mitsunori, let alone make up for his mistake.
Without delay, he dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately mobilized all the chakra in his body, instantly activating the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
The next second, the green Susanoo skeleton instantly appeared around him, like a huge giant, firmly enveloping him.
Susanoo's enormous arm suddenly stretched out, and before Jiraiya could complete the hand seals, the huge hand grabbed his body and held him firmly in its palm.
"Let me go! You brat, let me go!"
The excruciating pain spread throughout Jiraiya's body along his bones. He struggled frantically, letting out angry roars from his throat.
He exerted all his strength to mobilize the Sage Chakra within his body, wanting to break free from the Susanoo's restraints and teach this arrogant junior a lesson.
However, Susanoo's power was too great, like an unbreakable cage, firmly imprisoning him within.
The more he struggled, the tighter he was gripped, and his strength was gradually being exhausted. His chest heaved violently, his breathing became more and more rapid, his face gradually turned pale, and a faint trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
After struggling for an unknown amount of time, Jiraiya's chakra was almost completely exhausted, and he no longer had the strength to struggle. His body slumped limply in Susanoo's palm.
His face still held lingering anger and resentment, and the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth were becoming increasingly noticeable.
His once upright figure now looked extremely disheveled, and he no longer possessed the majesty and demeanor of the Three Ninjas.
Seeing this, Uchiha Ryuka slowly withdrew his chakra, and the skeleton of Susanoo began to dissipate little by little.
He stepped forward and gently caught the unconscious Jiraiya to prevent him from falling and getting injured.
Then he looked up and exchanged a glance with Uchiha Shisui not far away. The two of them nodded slightly... This sudden turmoil was finally resolved.
Fortunately, it did not cause too much damage, nor did it harm Minato Namikaze or Jiraiya, so it will not affect tomorrow's wedding.
Thus, the chaos caused by two drunkards finally came to an end.
The area below the Hokage's building had returned to its usual quiet, with only scattered kunai and faint bloodstains on the ground, though ninjas had already stepped forward to clean them up.
Uchiha Shisui steadily carried the unconscious Namikaze Minato on his shoulder, his body limp.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze's brows were tightly furrowed, and there were still tear stains at the corners of his eyes. He murmured Kushina's name from time to time, his tone full of pain and pleading.
Even when he fell into a coma, the deep-seated obsession and despair he felt could not be concealed.
On the other side, Uchiha Ryuho also carried the unconscious Jiraiya on his back. Jiraiya's head was tilted to one side, with a trace of drool at the corner of his mouth, and his face was covered with dust and blood, looking extremely disheveled.
Gone is the carefree and dignified air of the past.
The two walked side by side toward the Konoha Village dungeon without the slightest delay.
