Naruto : Reincarnated as Itachi Uchiha—Rise of the Uchiha Nation Chapter 31: 30) Kidnapping Tsunade

Half an Hour Later

Itachi, who was searching for a good hotel for the night, suddenly stopped.

"Co out"

There was silence for a few seconds, and then a white-haired old man appeared a few ters behind Itachi.

"Hey, if it isn't the old man from the izakaya.

So why are you following ? It can't be that your girlfriend also found your hypocrisy and left you, and now you're seeking revenge on , right?"

Jiraiya, who had originally felt a little happy hearing the term girlfriend, beca cold once again after hearing the rest of the statent.

"What's your na?"

"Hmm, did the breakup hurt you so much that you beca ntally challenged, or were you originally suffering from dentia?"

"YOU BRATT!!

I'm asking your real na, not your made-up one.

Also, you're not a samurai, right?

Which ninja village do you belong to?"

"Hmmm ? , my na is Shimotsuki Ryuma, and I am a samurai from the Land of Iron just as I have said before.

And you can't just say I'm a ninja and suddenly make it true, right?

Are you really okay?

I can call a doctor for you if you're ntally challenged."

Jiraiya's lips twitched in annoyance, especially after hearing ntally challenged multiple tis.

Suddenly, Jiraiya threw multiple shuriken at Itachi. Seeing this, Itachi was surprised and intercepted them by throwing his own shuriken.

Itachi's three shuriken magically collided with all of Jiraiya's shuriken and then headed straight for Jiraiya's heart.

Jiraiya hurriedly dodged and narrowed his eyes. Such precise shuriken-throwing technique.

"You brat, and you're still saying you're not a ninja?

If you were a samurai, you would have used your katana, and you wouldn't have possessed shuriken. When faced with danger, your instinct was to use shuriken to intercept my shuriken, not your precious sword.

With this level of shuriken technique, I'd say you're the strongest in shurikenjutsu in the entire world."

Itachi wasn't happy hearing this. First, Jiraiya suddenly threw shuriken at him, and now he was praising him like Madara.

Heh, everyone wants to be Madara. Who cares about your opinion?

"Okay, I'm not a samurai. Now state your purpose in following ."

As Itachi said this, a huge amount of dense chakra radiated from him, suppressing everything around him. Cracks ford in the surrounding houses, and the roads were filled with fissures.

"Such dense chakra… and this technique."

Jiraiya had only felt such pressure from chakra monsters like Uzumaki Mito or Uzumaki Kushina with the Nine-Tails. As for this technique, he had heard Tsunade brag about how her grandfather immobilized enemies with just his chakra.

"Well, little brother, I just found that I haven't heard of an outstanding shinobi like you before, so I ca to know you better."

"Hmmm, so now you must have known , right?

Or should we fight to understand each other better?"

As Itachi said this, the chakra pressure radiating outward beca even denser.

It wasn't that Itachi originally possessed this much chakra.

When Itachi first transmigrated, he only had the chakra of an elite jōnin, around the level of 1 to 1.5 Kakashi.

But after consuming the Elixir of Life, his chakra increased multiple tis. Even after that, over the past month, it had been increasing at a much faster rate than before.

Maybe it was because of the Elixir of Life, or maybe it was because of his age. Either way, Itachi knew that he now possessed more chakra than most Kage-level ninjas in the current ninja world.

"No, no, no—we shouldn't fight at every point.

Right, I just rembered that I still have sothing to say to Tsunade.

Well, little brother, I have to go for now. We will et again."

After saying that, Jiraiya left without giving Itachi another chance.

Do you think I am an idiot to fight a Kage-level ninja for no reason?

Itachi didn't stop Jiraiya and continued walking down the other side of the street.

One minute later

" Co out "

A few seconds later, a blond-haired woman appeared in front of Itachi.

" Hey, let guess, next Orochimaru will appear from the ground? "

Now it was Tsunade's turn to be confused. Where did Orochimaru co from? Then, a few seconds later, she understood.

Jiraiya ca from behind, she ca from the front, then next the last of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, should co from above or below. But Orochimaru can't fly, so he can only co from the gr— no, no, no. What am I thinking?

" What's your real na? "

Now it was Itachi's turn to be confused. How did everyone figure out that his na was fake?

Tsunade could say with conviction that his na was fake. Jiraiya was even more outrageous, he could even tell that his profession of samurai was fake before even fighting.

" Can you tell how you found it out? "

Hearing this, Tsunade smiled.

" I can tell you. I can even tell you how Jiraiya found out that you're a ninja. But first, fight . "

The very next second, Tsunade disappeared from her position and appeared right in front of Itachi, punching him in the face.

BOOM

In the next second, Itachi flew backward and slamd into the concrete wall behind him. The wall shattered into pieces. When the dust settled, Itachi was lying on the ground like a ragged doll.

" Tsk, a clone. "

Indeed, the next second, the Itachi on the ground dissolved into mud and rged with the earth.

" Hey, you people of Konoha are really violent. Guess I'll have to use my ultimate technique. "

Hearing the voice, Tsunade turned around, readying herself for the other party's ultimate technique.

" Yin-Yang Style Secret Technique: Haemophobia "

After saying this, Itachi took a kunai out of nowhere and lightly slashed his palm.

Seeing the blood flowing from the wound, Tsunade froze in place. mories flooded her mind. Nawaki, Kato Dan, and the others she had lost.

Itachi, on the other hand, didn't give her enough ti to snap out of her nightmares.

Sealing Jutsu: Adamantine Sealing Chains

Multiple golden chains erged from his back and, like vicious snakes, bound Tsunade.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

" Leave her alone. "

Multiple kunai and shuriken attacked the chakra chains, but they neither broke them nor even scratched them. Seeing the failure, Jiraiya appeared behind Itachi with a kunai, slashing toward him.

" Finally stopped hiding like a rat, huh. "

Earlier, while talking with Tsunade, Itachi had already sensed Jiraiya's presence, even though Jiraiya was in Sage Mode.

Maybe Tsunade had sensed him as well by other ans, and that was why she dared to fight Itachi even after he had referred to her as a sick woman, clearly pointing to her psychological weakness.

However, Itachi had no reason to fight Jiraiya for now. He wouldn't gain anything even if he killed him. On top of that, they were inside the city. Their fight could easily kill civilians.

LIFE-DEATH ARENA

In the next second, Jiraiya disappeared from his position.

And then… nothing happened.

Itachi took the immobilized, sealed Tsunade with him and left the scene of the cri.
