Chapter 119 The Final Ultimatum
"What is that...?"
Jiraiya stared blankly at Naruto, whose appearance had drastically changed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
A white robe, a black sphere, and the Rinnegan…
This form reminded him of a legendary figure.
The Sage of Six Paths…
"A barrier that can block perception... It seems Konoha has put in a lot of effort to counter me."
Naruto chuckled, and a Truth-Seeking Ball behind him transformed into a black longsword that landed in his hand.
"But thankfully, I didn't waste these past two years..."
puff--
With a single swing of the long sword, everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and the ninjas closest to Naruto were instantly beheaded!
What a great speed!
Jiraiya's expression changed: "Everyone, stand back! Keep your distance!"
"That's more like it..."
Naruto chuckled as he watched the Konoha ninjas retreating, their faces full of vigilance.
"Look at how menacing you all were just now, with all those barriers and surrounding us, it made me a little insecure..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the Konoha ninjas all turned pale.
According to Konoha's existing intelligence, although Naruto is powerful, his most troublesome aspects are the Tailed Beast Ball and Flying Thunder God Technique.
As for other aspects, such as taijutsu, ninjutsu, and sealing techniques, they are still within the scope of ninja combat.
So after the barrier was set up, the Anbu, acting on Jiraiya's orders, surrounded Naruto, attempting to interrupt his hand seals and seal him as quickly as possible.
However, looking at the results, Jiraiya realized that he might have been too presumptuous...
Naruto... has gotten stronger again!
However, the conflict has already broken out, and Naruto has killed a whole bunch of Konoha ninjas, so there is no room for reconciliation.
We can only fight first and then figure things out!
"Spiritual communication!"
Jiraiya struck down with his palm, and two old toads suddenly appeared on his shoulders.
"Universal Guidance!"
"Little Jiraiya...quack?"
Before the two sages who had just been summoned could even stand still, they were pulled toward Naruto by an inexplicable force.
"not good…"
Jiraiya hurriedly reached out and grabbed the legs of the two old toads, only to see a long black sword flying through the air. Helpless, he could only hastily undo the summoning and dodge in a sorry state.
"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"
"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"
Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hands on the ground, and an extremely thick earthen wall rose up, giving Jiraiya a chance to dodge.
On the other side, Asuma spewed out scorching flames, which crashed towards Naruto like a long dragon.
Naruto raised his hand, activated the Preta Path, and completely devoured the flames.
Naruto glanced at Sarutobi Asuma, whose face showed surprise, and smiled slightly.
Seeing Naruto's smile, Asuma felt a sense of unease and was about to distance himself when Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly groaned, clutching his chest and collapsing to the ground.
"Old man!"
Asma's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
Jiraiya, his face grim, stepped forward to block the two of them.
It's not hard to tell from Naruto's amused expression that Hiruzen Sarutobi's situation is related to him.
But he had no idea what was going on.
"What did you do to the old man?" Asma asked gravely.
"Why don't you experience it for yourself?"
Naruto chuckled, and Inari God activated again, causing the Konoha ninja present to fall down like wheat being harvested.
Jiraiya's face turned pale, and he covered his neck, his face gradually turning bluish-purple.
"The human body is really fragile..."
Naruto smiled gently: "By slightly obstructing their breathing or cutting off their blood supply to the heart, I can easily kill a Kage-level shinobi."
Such an impact could not cause any significant depletion to his pupil power.
Naruto didn't say this, but it was the first time he had directly witnessed just how much influence the Inari God had on the weak.
A single thought can decide a person's life or death!
Without sufficient pupil power, or a life level of equal importance, the life and death of any living being are entirely in his hands!
While it's not very effective against stronger opponents, the true strength of this ability doesn't seem to lie in combat...
"Hiss—whoosh—"
Asma clutched his chest and knelt on the ground, breathing rapidly and his face deathly pale.
Naruto strolled over to his side, his gaze falling on the face of Akane Yuhi, who was struggling to breathe, her heart pounding with pain, as she leaned against a chair.
"it's beautiful."
Naruto leaned back in his chair and gently lifted Kurenai Yuhi's chin.
"What are you going to do?"
Asma's expression suddenly changed, and his vision went black.
Naruto is indeed very strong, but he's also notoriously womanizing!
"Come at me if you have a problem!"
"Da me yo, da me da me~"
Naruto shook his finger: "When you attacked me just now, you didn't seem to consider whether the people around you would be targeted by my retaliation. Why are you suddenly so aware of this now?"
Asuma froze, while Kurenai's face darkened as she gritted her teeth and glared at Naruto: "Shameless bastard! I'll die..."
"You won't die."
Naruto shook his head, and a senbon containing lightning chakra suddenly stuck into Kurenai Yuhi's wrist as she prepared to detonate the explosive tag.
Samui, with a few senbon needles between her fingers, strode up behind Naruto with her long, shapely, snow-white legs and began massaging his shoulders.
"Come on, it's another choice between two options for happiness."
Naruto crossed his legs and gently stroked Kurenai's black hair.
"The lives of everyone here, and her life, Asma, you have only ten seconds to think it over."
"No need to...consider, Asuma."
Kurenai turned to Asuma and said with difficulty, "As a ninja, I've long been... prepared for whatever the outcome may be..."
"red…"
Asma's heart tightened.
"ten!"
Asuma's face twitched: "Naruto, for Ino's sake..."
"987..."
"I apologize for my father's actions. If possible, could you give me your life..."
"654..."
"It's all my fault!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke, his face deathly pale, as he forced back the pain in his chest.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. It's all my fault for not doing anything back then, which led to all of this. Konoha will hand over Danzo, along with my life!"
"Three, two, one!"
Naruto shook his head slightly: "It's too late. I've wasted so much of your time, so I should pay some interest."
Boom!
With a muffled thud, a Konoha ninja not far away suddenly crashed to the ground and fell silent.
"You bastard!"
Upon seeing this, Asuma flew into a rage.
Boom!
Another Konoha ninja fell, his death appearing extremely painful, as if he had suffocated.
"Why are you taking it out on me? You're the one who's been dragging your feet."
Naruto innocently shrugged: "What, haven't you made up your mind yet? Or have you already decided?"
Boom!
Another ninja lost his life, and the sound of the corpse falling made Asuma's heart tremble.
He stared blankly at Kurenai Yuhi beside Naruto, and seeing the resentment and despair in her eyes, he couldn't help but clench his teeth.
In that case, even if it means death…
He struggled to his feet, but suddenly his legs went numb, and he collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.
My legs…
Can't sense it anymore?!
Asuma stared in astonishment at Naruto, and seeing the wicked smile on the other's face, he felt a wave of despair.
He can't even bring himself to die with the one he loves!
"I...I choose the ninjas of Konoha."
Asma gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes bloodshot.
At that very moment, a hint of relief flashed in Hong's eyes.
"So this woman is mine, is that alright?"
Naruto said cheerfully, raising his hand to unleash a Yin-Yang Release technique, placing a black collar around Kurenai's neck, with the top chain held in his hand.
"Anything, from sauces to fermented meats, is acceptable, right?"
"you…"
Boom!
Another Konoha ninja has fallen.
"Right?"
Naruto tugged at the chains, and Kurenai hung her head like a rag doll.
Asuma stared intently at Naruto, his eyes seeming to want to devour him alive.
"Naruto...sir."
Neji looked somewhat reluctant: "I..."
"Back when Kumogakure was pressuring Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say a single word in support of your father, Neji."
Naruto interrupted Neji: "Rather than saying your father died for Konoha, it's more accurate to say he was forced to his death by the Third Hokage—what competent leader would force their own people to their deaths for the sake of so-called peace?"
"What country in the world achieves peace through compromise?"
Neji still felt a pang of guilt: "But Ms. Kurenai..."
"She would be very happy to."
Naruto said, shaking the chains, "Come with me, and I'll spare Asuma's life, okay? You don't want Asuma to die because of this, do you?"
Not far away, Karin and Kankuro stared wide-eyed, their faces flushed.
Sasuke crossed his arms and sneered, "Pervert!"
"good…"
Hong lowered her head, her eyes lifeless: "But you have to release the others too."
"Okay, but you can't commit suicide."
"good…"
Naruto nodded in satisfaction and put Kurenai into the Kamui dimension.
"Also, I'll take Ino with me. Is that alright, Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya's face was extremely pale, but he still nodded while covering his neck.
"You'd better hand over Danzo, right?"
Jiraiya continued to nod; in this situation, he had no other choice but to agree.
If he held on any longer, he would really suffocate and forget everything!
He was not afraid of death.
But if all the ninjas present were to die, Konoha would truly have no chance of turning the tide.
"That guy controls Izanagi, so please capture him alive. I'll only give you one day."
Naruto said, getting up and walking out of the venue: "Remember, this is your last chance."
"If I don't see Danzo by this time tomorrow, I'll vigorously develop the sex industry in Konoha—using the women of your various clans!"
"..."

(PS: Adding this paragraph is free!)
I had to stop updating a couple of days ago because of a stomach flu, so I took a break. I did update one chapter in between, but then I deleted the leave request. It's not that I didn't ask for leave; let me explain…
I thought I could update normally, but the dehydration issue was too severe, and I missed another day yesterday. I was too embarrassed to post another leave notice...
I've been taking a lot of montmorillonite powder, and I'm feeling much better today. I'll resume updates soon!
