Chapter 168 - Chapter 169

"Let me go, you damn bastard...!"

Tsunade struggled furiously, her golden hair clutched tightly in Robin's hand as she tried to break free. But her chakra had already been sealed by Naruto, and with seastone shackles binding her body, she was completely powerless.

Watching Jiraiya and Orochimaru standing before her only deepened her humiliation. Her heart burned with shame—this was how she, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, was reunited with her old comrades? Like a slave, chained at the neck, wrists, and ankles, on her knees like some kind of milk cow, being paraded by this wicked black-haired woman.

Robin, for her part, looked entirely unfazed. After all, while slavery was rare in the shinobi world, it was quite common in the world of pirates. She had even personally broken in a female Celestial Dragon before.

Seeing Tsunade constantly resist, Robin didn't hesitate to activate the slave collar once more. A jolt of high-voltage electricity coursed through the collar, and at the same time, she crossed her arms—Hana Hana no Mi powers instantly blossoming a series of arms all over Tsunade's body.

With a crackle and a sizzle, Tsunade's face flushed red as her body trembled and her chest heaved. Gasping for breath, she collapsed on the ground once more.

Robin sat down lightly on her back, smiling pleasantly as she turned her gaze toward Naruto's battle.

"Naruto-kun's homeland really is a scary place, isn't it?"

From her brief exchange with Orochimaru, she had come to a conclusion—even though he didn't possess Haki, his strange and versatile ninjutsu gave him an edge. If he existed in the world of the sea, his bounty would be at least three hundred million Beri.

And that earlier scuffle clearly wasn't his full strength. Meaning: Orochimaru was even more dangerous than she initially thought.

Naruto glanced at Robin's situation and saw her sitting on top of Tsunade. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Women really are terrifying when they get jealous..."

He wasn't an idiot—he could already guess why Robin was acting so twisted.

But he didn't interfere. Instead, he looked calmly at Jiraiya and Orochimaru, raising a single finger with a smirk.

"I'll give you ten minutes. If you can defeat me by then, you can take this milk cow back with you."

"But if not... she'll remain as my slave girl!"

Jiraiya's face darkened with anger. Deep down, he already knew there was no way he could defeat Namikaze Menma in his current state.

So, taking a deep breath, he said firmly, "Orochimaru, buy me a few minutes!"

He slammed his hand to the ground—Bang!—and with a puff of smoke, two elderly toads appeared on his shoulders.

"Fukasaku-sensei, Shima-sensei, it's urgent—help me enter Sennin Mode!"

Red markings started to spread from his eyes across his face, and his nose bulged with growing warts. The pressure emanating from him steadily grew stronger.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed.

"Myouboku Mountain's Sennin Mode, huh?"

He knew that the three sacred places—Ryuchi Cave, Mount Myouboku, and Shikkotsu Forest—were the homes of the Sannin's summoning beasts. And they all possessed a special ability: Sennin Mode.

By entering this state, one could tap into the natural energy of the world, exponentially increasing their combat power.

The legendary Shinobi no Kami, Hashirama, was said to be so powerful precisely because of his mastery of Sennin Mode.

Watching this, Tsunade couldn't stop the hope welling up in her eyes.

"Jiraiya..."

Smack!

A sharp slap interrupted her thoughts. Her face turned red with fury as she looked back at Robin, who was still seated on her.

Robin smiled sweetly. "Tsunade-chan, don't forget your place. You're my slave now. How can you be hoping for your master to lose?"

Gritting her teeth, Tsunade growled, "Do you even know who I am? I'm the heiress of the Senju clan! If I return to Konoha, I'll become the Fifth Hokage..."

"Sanjuurokuwa no Hana Hirake!" (Thirty-Six Blooming Petals!)

Electric sparks danced again, silencing her instantly.

Tsunade glared at Robin, furious and humiliated, but no longer dared to retort.

Robin smiled again. "I don't care what a Senju or Hokage is. Even Celestial Dragons end up as slaves—what makes you think you're special?"

With that, she rose to her feet and kicked Tsunade over. Her heel pressed down mercilessly on the back of Tsunade's head.

"You are Naruto-sama's enemy. If he wasn't planning to keep you, do you really think you'd still be alive?"

"Accept your place... or I'll kill you."

Tsunade's face paled.

"..."

"An enemy, huh...?"

The two elder toads, Fukasaku and Shima, stood tensely on Jiraiya's shoulders, staring at Naruto.

"Wife, this one's bad news. He even managed to capture Tsunade alive..."

Fukasaku's tone was grave.

"Let's go! We need to buy time for little Jiraiya!"

Shima nodded, her voice sharp and screechy.

"Orochimaru! What are you waiting for?! Get moving and hold him off!"

Orochimaru let out a raspy laugh, watching as Naruto—now blazing like a streak of fire—rushed toward them.

"Relax. He's not getting through."

He bit his thumb, crossed his hands into a seal, and slammed them onto the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Sanjuu Rashoumon!" (Summoning Jutsu: Triple Rashomon!)

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three massive iron gates surged out of the earth, towering in front of him.

Orochimaru licked the blood from his lip with a grin.

"This time, I specially reinforced them with enhanced materials..."

BOOM!!!

A golden-haired figure burst from the firelight, and with a single punch, shattered the first Rashomon gate into pieces, sending it flying.

BOOM!

The second gate was crushed by a single kick, warped and twisted.

Finally—

Naruto clenched his fist, combining multiple powers at once, unleashing a punch of unimaginable strength.

BOOM!!!

The third gate went flying like the others.

Up in the sky, watching the wreckage of the now barely recognizable Rashomon gates, Fukasaku's face turned pale.

"Orochimaru! What the hell are you doing?!"

He'd never seen Rashomon before and thought Orochimaru was slacking.

But Orochimaru's face was already frozen.

"That was a reinforced Rashomon... I designed it to withstand a Bijuu-dama (Tailed Beast Bomb) from the Five-Tails... How... how did it get destroyed so easily...?"

As the broken gates hurtled toward them, both elder toads felt their scalps tingle.

"Wife! Stop it, now!"

Fukasaku opened his mouth and shot a high-pressure water blast toward the flying Rashomon:

"Suiton: Suikiri!" (Water Style: Water Severing Slash!)

Shima extended her long tongue, trying to latch onto the incoming wreckage.

"Ninpou: Zessenzanbou!" (Ninja Art: Tongue Binding Slash!)
