Chapter 258 Tsunade and Itachi, the deal
Fusion...
If this is the case, the connection between the two worlds means that the existing order, geopolitics, and even the power system will all be overturned, and the resulting conflict will be devastating.
"This is just my guess. Without specific details, it could also be a time warp."
Nara Shikaku continued, "Perhaps this phenomenon will disappear after a while. We should be prepared, but we shouldn't see it as a catastrophe."
……
While everyone in the Hokage's office was still processing the information, an aged voice broke the heavy atmosphere.
"Tsunade..."
Bang! !
A small wisp of white smoke suddenly appeared in the office, revealing the figure of the immortal, Fukasaku.
Its small body trembled incessantly, its green skin seemed to have lost its luster, and there were burn marks on its body.
The frog's usually wise and peaceful face was now filled with endless grief and panic.
Everyone present recognized the person before them: an elder sage from Mount Myōboku, one of the three great spiritual holy sites.
Legend has it that this immortal, who has lived for hundreds of years, is now in such a sorry state!
……
Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply. Before Fukasaku could say anything, a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
No way... Jiraiya...
Fukasaku looked around the office and knew that these were the core decision-makers. He sighed deeply and spoke with difficulty.
"The Godaime."
"Little Jiraiya...he..."
"He died in battle."
Bang—!
Tsunade suddenly stood up, and the chair behind her slid backward and exploded due to the unconscious burst of chakra she released.
His face instantly drained of color, his blue eyes widened, as if he hadn't understood what Fukasaku had said.
……
The office fell into a deathly silence.
Nara Shikaku's pen fell to the ground with a "thud." Hyuga Hiashi stood frozen in place, and all the clan leaders were struck dumb.
Who is Jiraiya?
One of the Legendary Sannin, a disciple of the Third Hokage, who trained the Fourth Hokage, a legendary ninja of Konoha!
the most important……
He is the strongest fighter in Konoha right now, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is one of the strongest in the ninja world!
Who can kill him?!
But looking into Fukasaku's eyes, the problem became...
Who killed him...?
What a terrifying enemy that must be!

Tsunade lowered her head, clenched her fists, and said in a hoarse voice, "Block the news of Jiraiya's sacrifice and strengthen the ninja vigilance along the Land of Fire's border."
"Class Monitor Shikaku, continue your investigation into the otherworldly matter and report your progress to me regularly."
"Hiashi, you have recently granted permission for the Hyuga clan to use the Byakugan for reconnaissance in all areas of Konoha except for the Hokage Building. Be alert to any suspicious activity."
"Akimichi..."
If Tsunade were just one of the Legendary Sannin, she could cry her heart out right now, she could disregard everything, she could reminisce about how she was so close to becoming...
No.
Bearing the name of Hokage, the village is the most important thing!
……
Orders were issued one by one: evacuation, guard duty, intelligence sharing, formation of special response teams...
Seeing that she handled everything in an orderly manner, the immortal was deeply gratified.
What a truly remarkable Hokage!
"Jiraiya could have left... but he fought to the death to obtain crucial information."
Fukasaku lifted the cloth covering his back, revealing the last message left by Jiraiya.

"This is intelligence he obtained at the cost of his life..."
……
"Okay, I will arrange for the code team to decipher it immediately. Thank you for your hard work, Master Shenzuo."
Tsunade said nothing more and silently walked out of the office.
I walked a long way down the quiet corridor...
She leaned against the cold wall and slowly slid down to sit.
The magnificent Hokage robe trailed on the ground, his face buried deep in his arms, and his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.
A low, suppressed sob echoed softly in the darkness.
Even sadness is expressed with such caution.
……
clatter--
The crisp sound of wooden clogs startled Tsunade, who looked up abruptly.
A figure, quieter than any shadow, appeared silently beside a pillar at the other end of the corridor.
He wore a black robe with red clouds, his figure was thin, and he looked frail and exhausted.
On that handsome, pale face, a pair of scarlet eyes, beneath a calm surface, surged an extremely complex mix of weariness and resolve.
……
"Uchiha... Itachi!!?"
"What do you want to do! You know what you've done!!"
"How dare you... show your face in front of me!!!"
Tsunade's voice was extremely angry, and faint purple lines appeared on her forehead. Her chakra shattered the nearby walls as if it were a tangible force!
……
"I want to cooperate with you, Fifth Generation."
Before Tsunade could unleash her furious attack, Itachi Uchiha spoke up:
"While you are distracted, I have already set up a barrier so that no one will hear our conversation. Please give me at least two minutes, okay?"
Tsunade suppressed her anger.
Actually... regarding the Uchiha incident back then, although the Sannin and other high-ranking members didn't know the exact truth, they could still guess something.
That's why Tsunade was even more reluctant to return to Konoha, feeling that her teacher had completely changed.
He was no longer the shrewd and powerful man he once was, and he failed to handle the Uchiha problem properly.
……
"One minute!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth: "This is your time to leave your last words!"
……
Itachi wasted no time and got straight to the point.
"Sasuke has gone missing. It involves someone from another world, and that person has a Sharingan that is far more powerful than mine."
"The leader of the Akatsuki organization possesses the legendary Rinnegan."
"As for what happened back then... Lord Sandai is dead, so I have nothing to say about it."
"This is a transaction, but also a request."
"I need your treatment, otherwise I only have a few days left to live."
"If you can keep me alive until I find Sasuke, then please kill me immediately. It would be best if you left poison inside my body."
"In exchange, I will share all the core intelligence I know about the Akatsuki organization—its personnel, capabilities, objectives, and strongholds."
"And the information I've gathered and studied during this time regarding the 'otherworldly visitors,' including a preliminary analysis of their world's power system."
"And then there's Danzo Sekishimura. His recent actions are closely linked to people from another world, and the situation is extremely serious."
Itachi said all these words in one breath.
His body was indeed on the verge of death; even speaking made his breathing erratic.
Even at this point, he was still able to penetrate layers of defenses, reach the Hokage directly, and set up a barrier...
This ability is truly unbelievable.
……
Tsunade's clenched fist couldn't bring herself to fall; she saw in Itachi's eyes something just like her own now.
sad.
Anything can be faked, even love, but this kind of sadness is the only thing that cannot be faked.
Moreover, everything Itachi said hit Tsunade's sore spots: the Akatsuki, the other world, and Danzo...
Should we cooperate with this S-rank rogue ninja...? Can we really trust the information he provides...?
……
Tsunade remained silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice, "Did the old man tell you to do this?"
Itachi shook his head: "No, it's something I want to do myself."
"For Sasuke... and for Konoha."
……
"Come with me..."
In the end, Tsunade sighed helplessly and walked past.
