Megumai was not proficient in transformation techniques; her previous disguise was merely making herself look ugly, which could fool passersby but not those with intent.
Therefore, Jiraiya, following her trail, only needed one look from a distance to mentally confirm her identity-the Uchiha genius girl with the innate three-tomoe Sharingan.
The martyr of the Takamagahara Battle was actually alive and resurrected!
Jiraiya realized the matter was extraordinary and decisively used a communication frog to report to the Third Hokage, subsequently receiving instructions-to rendezvous with Orochimaru and Tsunade and work together to bring Uchiha Megumi back to the village.
All Three Sannin being dispatched was a massive undertaking, and indeed very necessary.
After all, Uchiha Megumi was already strong enough to completely defeat two Jinchuriki and the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen.
They had to treat this with caution and not be careless!
Thus, today, the Three Sannin, who were scattered far and wide, gathered together and intercepted Megumai.
Facing Tsunade's interrogation, Megumai felt that talking more was pointless and remained silent.
Tsunade remained indignant and continued, "We've followed you for a long way. Along the way, you were chatting happily with the Kumogakure Shinobi. You originally said you wanted to find a stable living environment for your child, but now it looks like you're preparing to join the Kumogakure?"
Megumai nodded slightly.
Tsunade's eyes grew cold, and she said coldly, "Megumai, I told you back then that if you did anything that violated the village's interests, I would kill you without hesitation!"
"Now, answer me! Are you coming back to Konoha! Or will you die here!"
As she spoke, Tsunade emitted a bone-chilling Chakra pressure.
Megumai shook her head and said indifferently, "You are very strong, but you can't kill me. Don't waste your energy."
Tsunade shouted and angrily said, "Megumai, are you determined to betray the village?!"
Yugito Nii scoffed and mocked, "You Konoha people are really interesting. You ostracize the Uchiha, yet you won't let the Uchiha leave."
Tsunade glared at her and said coldly, "Kumogakure girl, this is none of your business!"
"Why is it none of my business?!"
Yugito Nii retorted, "Megumi-senpai intends to join the Kumogakure, so she is my comrade!"
Tsunade snorted coldly, ignored her, and turned back to Megumai, questioning again, "Megumai, I ask you one last time, are you determined to betray the village?!"
Megumai gently exhaled and slowly said, "Tsunade-sama, I advise you not to waste your Chakra. I have the Reverse Summoning from Ryuchi Cave and can leave at any time."
Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "Before coming, I already contacted Ryuchi Cave and canceled your summoning contract. So, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today."
"..."
Megumai let out a wry laugh. "I underestimated the three of you, senpai's. In that case, we can only fight it out."
As she spoke, a pure white Shinobi blade appeared in her hand.
"Lost on the wrong path and unwilling to return!"
Tsunade was heartbroken; her eyes gradually turned cold, and her aura grew more intense.
Anyone who harms the village's interests, even if they are one's friend, comrade, brother, or descendant, must be eliminated!
This was the First Hokage's principle, and it was also Tsunade's principle.
And many other Shinobis held the same idea.
Jiraiya was one of them.
Since Uchiha Megumi could not be persuaded, she had to be killed!
The Uchiha bloodline must not flow into the Kumogakure!
...
The wind sweeTojo through the tower heralds a storm in the mountains.
Asui had secretly been suspicious that this was a trap set by Konoha-Uchiha Megumi feigning betrayal to join the Kumogakure but actually luring the Two-Tails Jinchuriki into a snare for a coordinated attack.
However, the Three Sannin's intense killing intent dispelled her suspicion of Megumai. After all, if it truly was a trap, the Sannin's killing intent couldn't be so genuine. Moreover, since the Jinchuriki was already caught, there was no need for the Three Sannin to pretend to want to kill Uchiha Megumi.
A great battle was about to start, and the Three Sannin's aura was growing stronger.
Yugito Nii deliberately interrupted, saying, "May I ask, are the three of you planning to kill me, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and provoke another Great Shinobi War?"
Jiraiya said coldly, "Why pretend to be confused when you know the truth? This is Konoha dealing with a rogue Shinobi. It has nothing to do with you Kumogakure Shinobi; you may leave on your own, and we will not stop you."
Yugito Nii, of course, would not take the easy way out and leave just like that.
Ever since she had approved of Megumai joining the Kumogakure, she regarded Megumai as a comrade. Leaving now would be no different from the shameless act of abandoning a comrade.
Moreover, even purely from a self-interest perspective, staying and fighting alongside her was necessary!
To ensure the village gains the Uchiha bloodline limit, she would fight to the death today! Even as a Perfect Jinchuriki, the risk was worth taking!
Yugito Nii's fighting spirit was intense, with a determination to burn her bridges.
Asui, being more conservative, favored the Jinchuriki leaving the scene to avoid the risk of death. After all, the cost for the village to cultivate a Perfect Jinchuriki was staggering!
However, the Jinchuriki had made up her mind.
Asui did not try to persuade her but dedicated herself to supporting the Jinchuriki's choice, even at the cost of her life.
After all, according to her analysis, the current situation was not a death trap, and their side had a chance of winning.
According to what the Three Sannin just said, Megumai had fought two Jinchuriki and the 'Seven Shinobi Swordsmen'.
Judging by Megumai's current unharmed state, it could be inferred that she was not severely injured when previously ganged up on by the four.
This showed that Megumai was not a mere Medical Shinobi and must have formidable strength.
Her astonishing stamina was one piece of evidence!
A rough comparison of combatants was two against three, a slight disadvantage, but there was hope.
When the battle reached its climax and the Three Sannin were tired, their side could escape with the help of the Two-Tails' remote escape.
Coincidentally, Yugito's recent Tailed Beast Transformation combat practice had not faced high-intensity opponents.
A fight with the Three Sannin today should be highly beneficial!
Asui thought this, steadying her mind.
The sky was gloomy, and a light drizzle suddenly began to fall.
Megumai walked calmly to a nearby tree to prevent her son from getting wet and catching a cold.
This action seemed to show no regard for the menacing Three Sannin.
Jiraiya understood the source of Megumai's confidence. Her record of defeating two Jinchuriki and the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen single-handedly was indeed impressive.
Megumai looked at the battle-ready Three Sannin, sighed softly, and reiterated, "I sincerely advise you: don't waste your Chakra. You can't defeat me, and I can't defeat you. The coming battle will be meaningless, except for working up a sweat."
"Megumai, are you afraid to fight?!" Tsunade shouted loudly.
Megumai remained silent. The three tomoe in her eyes spun rapidly, transforming into three nested circular ripples, containing a terrifying ocular power.
