Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: A Ruthless Individual

This type of battle had never been witnessed before. Even ninja who specialized in taijutsu and were not proficient in ninjutsu had chakra flowing within them.

The way Han Yu fought was truly something unseen throughout history.

Upon hearing Tian Dao Pein's words, Han Yu halted his attack and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Seeing that Han Yu seemed to be swayed by Tian Dao Pein's words, Tsunade's expression grew even more solemn. The little chakra she had left frantically converged, ready to respond to any betrayal from Han Yu.

After a moment of contemplation, Han Yu looked at Tian Dao Pein and said, "Then give me what I want. I want your Shinra Tensei and the Outer Path: Resurrection Technique!"

"This..."

Tian Dao Pein was stunned. He had expected the other party to demand a large amount of money or even ninjutsu, and he had prepared several A-rank and S-rank ninjutsu for that purpose. But he never expected Han Yu to demand Shinra Tensei and the Outer Path: Resurrection Technique right off the bat.

These two ninjutsu were unparalleled in both offensive and defensive capabilities for Shinra Tensei, and the Outer Path: Resurrection Technique was a transcendent ninjutsu that could bring people back to life. They were not something that ordinary people could acquire.

"What, you don't want to give them?"

Han Yu narrowed his eyes, his words dripping with threat. His lips barely moved as he whispered something only Tian Dao Pein could hear, causing the usually expressionless Tian Dao Pein to show a look of shock.

"This is just a puppet, isn't it? I know where your original body is. If you don't want to die soon, give me what I want honestly!" Han Yu tilted his chin and pointed in a direction before speaking.

"He actually knows where my original body is? How is that possible!"

Nagato, who controlled the Pein from outside the Hidden Leaf Village, wore a surprised expression. How did the other party know that Pein was just a puppet?

Where did they get this information?

Tian Dao Pein glanced around, and the people around him still looked confused, seemingly unaware of what Han Yu had said. This method of speaking increased Tian Dao Pein's fear of Han Yu even more.

"Alright, I'll give it to you!"

With those words, Tian Dao Pein reached up and gouged out his own right eye socket, extracting the Rinnegan and protecting it with chakra to prevent harm.

The action of removing his own eye made Han Yu gasp in shock, thinking to himself, "This guy is ruthless."

Tian Dao Pein then took out a scroll and threw it to Han Yu along with the other items. Han Yu received the two items with a smile. The general store didn't care if it was the original object or not; as long as the ability had been used through it, it could be recorded into the general store system as a medium.

That was why Han Yu didn't go looking for Nagato.

The Hyōrinmaru in his hand emitted a faint white circle visible to the naked eye, expanding from Han Yu as its center. The nearest Tian Dao Pein was instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

The other four Pein members couldn't escape this fate and were affected before they could even think of fleeing.

"Ding, mission [Collect Special Ninjutsu, Shinra Tensei] completed, awaiting settlement!"

Upon hearing the system's message in his mind, Han Yu nodded satisfiedly and whispered softly to the ice sculpture of Tian Dao Pein.

"I've taken what I wanted. I won't take your original body's life, but I can't let this puppet go."

With that, Han Yu lightly tapped the ice sculpture of Tian Dao Pein, and from that point, the ice sculptures of the other Pein members also exploded simultaneously, turning into a mist of ice particles that filled the air.

The entire incident unfolded in less than ten minutes.

Everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village, including Tsunade, was stunned, like geese with their necks pinched, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

This swift and decisive battle made Tsunade and her companions feel like their struggles had all been for nothing.

"This... This can't be!"

Tsunade's pale lips trembled as she stared at the somewhat gaunt figure in front of her, muttering to herself.

Han Yu's fighting style had completely shattered the worldviews of everyone present. Even the previous Hokage had never seen anyone directly infuse chakra into a weapon, giving it elemental attributes.

After carefully examining and confirming that the Six Paths of Pein were indeed defeated, Tsunade's body uncontrollably weakened. She had finally reached her limit.

The chakra she had consumed protecting the entire village could be considered an overdraft. Without chakra's protection, her skin, which had once been as smooth as cream, now sagged.

Tsunade was already around fifty years old, but her youthful skin and appearance were thanks to her S-rank ninjutsu, Yin Fengyin.

This was also a prerequisite for activating another S-rank ninjutsu, the Hundred Seals Technique.

As Tsunade collapsed, an invisible force gently caught her, allowing her to fall gracefully to the ground. Han Yu's figure instantly appeared beside her.

Looking at her rapidly aging face, Han Yu couldn't help but marvel at the power of the S-rank ninjutsu Yin Fengyin. If he could obtain it and sell it, it would be immensely popular among women.

Unfortunately, only powerful ninja could wield it effectively.

An Anbu member jumped from the sidelines and, upon seeing Han Yu holding Tsunade, suppressed his doubts about Han Yu's identity and turned his attention to Tsunade instead.

"How is the Hokage?"

"Medical Team, I'll go get them now!"

The ninja from the Anbu (the covert ops division) was about to call for a medical ninja, but Han Yu waved his hand and crouched down to lift Tsunade.

"Looking at her, her physical strength and chakra are severely depleted. Conventional treatments will take a long time. I'll handle it."

"You? What do you plan to do?"

The Anbu ninja halted in his tracks. The reason he didn't immediately call for the medical team was because Han Yu's recent performance had been so astonishing that he instinctively obeyed his words.

Han Yu freed up one hand, slightly pinching his thumb and forefinger, and a golden-colored broad bean appeared between them.

As soon as the broad bean appeared, an unusual aroma filled the air, and those around who caught a whiff of it were quite surprised.

For after inhaling the fragrance of the golden bean, their injuries, both internal and external, were visibly healing.

"This is a great treasure. I've refined this Senzu Bean, so it can not only heal injuries but also nourish the skin. After eating this Senzu Bean, even if you're bedridden now, you'll be ready to dance in no time!"

Han Yu chuckled, ignoring the bewildered Anbu ninja, and gently pried open Tsunade's pale lips, slipping the Senzu Bean inside.

As soon as the Senzu Bean entered her mouth, it turned into a warm current that surged through Tsunade's vital organs, and her complexion rapidly regained its vitality, her dry and pale lips instantly regaining their rosy fullness.

Tsunade's eyelids fluttered, and when she opened them, she saw a handsome smiling face, with herself now in his arms.

"Ah, what, what just happened to me?"

Tsunade awkwardly struggled out of Han Yu's embrace, quickly standing up, her face tinged with a blush reminiscent of a young girl.

"You collapsed due to exhaustion, but I gave you a magical bean. Feel for yourself, how's your body now?"

Tsunade realized that the chakra she had exhausted during the battle had miraculously recovered to its peak state.

What shocked her even more was that, without using her S-rank ninja technique Yin Sealing, her appearance still resembled that of an eighteen-year-old girl. Could it be because of the Senzu Bean Han Yu had given her?

Gazing at Han Yu's handsome face with a faint smile, Tsunade's gaze momentarily faltered, and she cleared her throat.

"Where are the Anbu?"

As soon as she spoke, several figures emerged from the ruins, all wearing white masks depicting various animals—the Anbu of Konohagakure, the direct subordinates of the Hokage.

"What are your orders, Tsunade-sama?"

The Anbu were all struck by Tsunade's current appearance, their eyes filled with admiration.

It was vastly different from her usual appearance maintained through Yin Sealing, as if she had truly regained her youth by two or three decades.

With a youthful face that could be called childlike and a figure that set pulses racing, she was a sight that could captivate both men and women alike.

"You must immediately assist in evacuating the injured villagers, thoroughly search Konohagakure, and tally the casualties."

Faced with Han Yu, Tsunade had been at a loss, but when dealing with the Anbu members, she reverted to her role as the Fifth Hokage, issuing orders swiftly and decisively.

The Anbu members dispersed, flying towards the outskirts of Konohagakure to carry out Tsunade's orders.

"You've helped us a great deal, and this favor, Konohagakure will always remember."

Tsunade said earnestly. It must be said that with her appearance decades younger, every smile and frown exuded a captivating charm that was impossible to ignore.
