章 152: Chapter 152, Sage Mode! Start!
"What would you do without the two of us?"
Tsunade sighed a bit helplessly upon hearing this, took two steps forward, patted Senju Tobirama's arm, and said earnestly.
"What can I do? Grandpa is old now, and when difficulties arise, I can only ask Tsunade for help."
Senju Tobirama glanced at Tsunade, a doting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he ruffled Tsunade's hair, and said with some self-deprecation.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade pursed her lips. Perhaps because Senju Tobirama was born with white hair, Tsunade never felt that Senju Tobirama had aged.
But now, Tsunade suddenly realized that her second grandpa's face seemed to have more wrinkles, and he looked a lot like the old man Madara.
"Don't worry, the old man can rest well in the village, and we can handle the rest."
"But this time, we might not need to trouble Tsunade."
Senju Tobirama chuckled upon hearing this, speaking to Tsunade.
"Didn't you say we need a ninja who knows Senjutsu to assist... You're not thinking of letting Raijin go assist alone, are you?"
Tsunade spoke halfway and suddenly realized, looking at Senju Tobirama in front of her incredulously.
"Yes, I want Raijin to go assist alone."
Senju Tobirama nodded upon hearing this, then turned to look at Raijin.
"How about it? Can you hold on if you use elementalization to go to Land of Demons at full speed?"
Senju Tobirama asked Raijin.
Raijin chuckled upon hearing this, pointing to the Yin Seal on his forehead.
"No problem at all."
"Good, take this."
Senju Tobirama nodded, took out a Kunai from his bosom, and handed it to Raijin.
"After the mission is over, throw this Kunai out, and I will bring you back with Flying Thunder God."
Senju Tobirama spoke to Raijin.
"Are you afraid?"
Raijin looked enlightened upon hearing this, asking Senju Tobirama.
"Yes, being careful is always right."
Senju Tobirama nodded, speaking to Raijin.
"Alright, I understand."
Raijin nodded upon hearing this, tucking the Kunai into his bosom.
"Alright, go. After you come back this time, I'll give you a long vacation."
Senju Tobirama nodded, speaking to Raijin.
"Let's forget it, I want to develop a permanent Senjutsu sooner than you."
Raijin chuckled upon hearing this, speaking to Senju Tobirama.
"Oh? Why?"
Senju Tobirama raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, asking Raijin.
"I don't want to comfort Tsunade again."
Raijin chuckled upon hearing this, teasingly glanced at Tsunade, and then, while Tsunade hadn't reacted yet, he turned into a thunderbolt and shot into the sky.
"Argh~ You dare to dislike me! When you come back..."
Tsunade looked in the direction where Raijin left, raising her fist.
I'll work you to death!
Tsunade thought silently in her heart.
"Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Tsunade.
"Yes."
Tsunade nodded upon hearing this, leaving with Senju Tobirama.
If possible, Tsunade also wanted to spend more time with Senju Tobirama and Uzumaki Mito.
While permanent Senjutsu can indeed extend one's lifespan, until it's developed and taught to Senju Tobirama and Uzumaki Mito, everything remains uncertain.
...
"How can such a thing exist?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned deeply as he looked at the area completely enveloped by the barrier.
"But for now, all we can do is wait."
Orochimaru shook his head helplessly. To break such a strong barrier, the only jutsu he could think of was the super electromagnetic cannon Raijin had used during the Chunin exams.
Even then, such a move would require the addition of natural energy.
"If I knew Senjutsu, maybe I could give it a try."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's frown deepened; he hated the feeling of things being out of his control.
To place all hope in the efforts of others, with nothing to do but watch for the outcome.
This feeling wasn't unique to Sarutobi Hiruzen; nobody liked it.
"If only I were a bit stronger..."
Jiraiya watched the scene unfold with a sense of dissatisfaction.
"You've already done well."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya and patted his arm reassuringly.
No one had anticipated the mission target to be so troublesome.
"Boom~"
Just then, a sound like thunder erupted.
The three of them looked up instantly.
There hadn't been any sign of rain before, but now thunder rumbled, suggesting...
Crack!
A bolt of lightning cleaved through the clouds, and in the next moment, Raijin appeared before Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You've arrived just in time, Raijin!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen clapped Raijin on the shoulder, his tone undisguised with joy.
"What's the situation now?"
Raijin caught his breath, popped a soldier pill, took the Mito that Orochimaru handed him, and drank heartily.
For Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, traveling from the Land of Fire to the Land of Demons would take a whole week.
But for Raijin, transforming into lightning and traveling at speeds close to light, it was just a "whoosh" and he was there.
Of course, this was only theoretically possible, as lightning needs to ionize the air to travel.
In theory, Raijin could move at speeds close to light, but the physical toll was directly proportional.
"Now..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated upon hearing this. With Raijin's arrival, he became uncertain.
He didn't know how many spies from other hidden villages were in the Land of Demons.
But one thing Sarutobi Hiruzen was sure of: word of what happened here would spread.
If Raijin's performance was too astonishing, would it provoke an excessive reaction from the other hidden villages?
Was it worth risking an earlier outbreak of war for an S-rank mission?
Biting his lip, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision.
"Can Jiraiya still enter Sage Mode?"
He asked Jiraiya.
"I can!"
Jiraiya clenched his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Later, the three of us will use our strongest Ninjutsu to weaken the barrier, and Raijin will try to break through directly," Sarutobi Hiruzen told the three before him.
Even if it was just for show, the combined efforts of four people to break the barrier was much better than one person trying to penetrate it alone.
"Okay."
Raijin nodded at the words, exchanged a glance with Jiraiya, and the next moment, both of them formed hand seals simultaneously.
"Sage Mode! Activate!"
