Jiraiya stared in disbelief at Kushina and Mikoto discarding their forehead protectors, then glanced over at the bloodied Tsunade.

"Tsunade, aren't Kushina and Mikoto your students? Don't you care about them at all?"

"It's none of your business. Don't babble nonsense here. Get lost. I'm in a bad mood," Tsunade snapped coldly at Jiraiya.

"Tsunade, your students are about to become Missing-nin..."

BAAAMM!!!

With a swift motion, Tsunade unleashed her Body Flicker Technique and delivered a powerful Chakra-enhanced Punch to Jiraiya.

Her face remained expressionless as she struck, and even Orochimaru, standing nearby, could hear the sound of bones cracking. Clearly, Tsunade wasn't holding back—she was genuinely furious.

...

"Uzumaki Shin, what do you want?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, looking somewhat resigned, addressed Shin with a hint of compromise in his voice. Deep down, he regretted his actions, but regretting wasn't going to help in this world.

"Hand over Konoha's Scroll of Seals, and you can have the two Tailed Beasts," Shin said calmly.

"No. The Scroll of Seals is one of the village's most important assets," Hiruzen refused firmly.

"Do you have a choice?"

Shin fixed his gaze on Hiruzen, his presence radiating a chilling killing intent that made the air around him feel like an icy tundra. Weaker shinobi fainted from the sheer aura emanating from Shin.

"Don't force me to destroy Konoha—I'm not kidding."

As Shin spoke, his Susano'o began to transform. What was once just a skeletal giant in its upper half now became infused with sinew and flesh.

This new form of Susano'o was capable of releasing jutsu on its own. But the transformation didn't stop there—his lower half materialized, clad in Sengoku-era armor, complete with wings sprouting from his back.

The—Complete Body — Susanoo emanated such an oppressive presence that the surrounding shinobi could barely breathe.

"So This… this is what the other villages faced," one muttered, his voice trembling.

It stood like a towering mountain before them, embodying the fear that shinobi from other villages felt when facing Susano'o.

...

"Tsunade, only you can stop Uzumaki Shin now," Orochimaru whispered to Tsunade.

Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru before responding coldly, "This is all Hiruzen's fault. It's his own doing. I won't involve myself."

Internally conflicted, Tsunade wrestled with her emotions but ultimately decided not to intervene. She knew Shin would respect her feelings and not overstep his bounds.

"Uzumaki Shin, are you really going to attack your comrades?"

Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but shout at Shin.

In truth, Sakumo greatly admired Shin. At such a young age, Shin had already amassed immense power.

And Konoha couldn't afford to make an enemy of him.

"Comrades? Are you mistaken? These trash don't deserve to be my comrades!" Shin taunted sarcastically.

"Uzumaki Shin, although we're weak, you look down on us just because of that. That's your limited perspective," some Konoha shinobi retorted angrily, glaring at Shin.

"Don't get it twisted. I'm not saying you're weak. I'm saying you're trash." Shin sneered coldly.

"We were ambushed during the attack on Iwa. Why are you blaming me? Isn't that the commander's responsibility?"

"You were surrounded by four villages—And I, Uzumaki Shin, saved you. Without me, how many of you would still be alive? Even animals know gratitude. Some of you are worse than animals—"

The atmosphere grew tense as some Konoha shinobi fell silent, their faces flushed with shame.

"I have done nothing wrong against Konoha, and I don't need your accusations."

"Sandaime Hokage, the fate of Konoha is now in your hands."

Shin stood atop his Susano'o, looked down at Hiruzen, while Susano'o began to slowly draw its sword.

"I agree to the exchange. The Jutsu in the Scroll of Seals for the One-Tail and the Eight-Tails," Hiruzen said.

Exchanging the Jutsu for two Tailed Beasts wasn't a bad deal, but Hiruzen was greedy.

The One-Tail and Eight-Tails were Shin's spoils of war, but Hiruzen saw them as Konoha's property.

After Hiruzen agreed to the exchange, Shin deactivated his Susano'o.

"This time, I'm sparing you. From now on, it's best if you stay as far away from me as possible."

Shin's voice was low, but every shinobi present could hear it clearly. Some Konoha ninjas felt a pang of sadness—Their "Reaper" had become their enemy.

"Come with me to retrieve the Scroll of Seals. Don't try to deceive me."

Shin activated Yomotsu Hirasaka and opened a dark portal. Through this portal, he could instantly return to Konoha.

...

Stepping through, Shin found himself back at the Hokage building.

Hiruzen glanced at Shin apprehensively, wary of his formidable space-time jutsu, which surpassed even the Nidaime Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Inside the Hokage building, Hiruzen retrieved the highly concealed Scroll of Seals and handed it to Shin.

Shin opened the scroll and meticulously reviewed all the jutsu inscribed within.

All the Jutsu developed by the Nidaime Hokage were there, including the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Edo Tensei and more.

This Scroll was genuine. Hiruzen didn't dare deceive Shin; any attempt to do so would have severe consequences that the Sandaime couldn't afford.

After memorizing the contents and making a copy—Shin tossed the Scroll back to Hiruzen.

Seeing that Shin didn't take the Scroll with him, Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't prepared any backups, but now he planned to make copies after this exchange.

Using—[Yomotsu Hirasaka] once more, Shin returned to the battlefield, ignoring the group of Konoha shinobi watching him.

He then signaled for Tsunade and the others to leave.

...

After Shin departed, The Konoha Shinobi looked at Hiruzen.

"Dismissed."

Hiruzen sighed and sent them away.

"Hokage-sama, how are your injuries?" Sakumo Hatake asked.

"I'm fine. Sakumo, summon the Sealing Team. We need to seal the One-Tail and the Eight-Tails."

Hiruzen said.

The two Tailed Beasts were still under Shin's control. If Shin suddenly released them, they would rampage.

And this was the Konoha camp. The consequences would be disastrous. Sealing the Tailed Beasts was their top priority.
