Naruto: IY Ch. 47
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 01:20:11 +0000 UTCOn the big screen, as Jiraiya's narration ended, the image suddenly lit up again.
It was the scene left over from when Jiraiya had entered Sage Mode to fight Hanzō. In the footage, he shattered Hanzō's weapon with a single strike, then followed up with a combo move that broke through even Hanzō's defensive armor, sending him flying.
As Hanzō's staunch supporter, Mura instantly erupted in fury, "Who edited this movie? Jiraiya? You've gone too far!"
Several Ame ninjas stopped chewing their candy.
"No wonder you're from Konoha, your foundation truly runs deep," Pakura clapped slowly, speaking with helpless admiration.
The title of "the Salamander" was not something Hanzō had given himself, it was earned through battles across the shinobi world. He could exist without Ame, but Ame could not exist without him. That was how great his strength was.
The video ended here, what came next was Jiraiya getting beaten. But of course, he wouldn't show that.
"Tsunade, I know you have hemophobia, so I won't let you watch what comes next," he slicked back his hair, smirking confidently.
"I..." Seeing the fresh blood that had just spilled from Hanzō's mouth only to be swallowed back down, Tsunade felt fear rising from deep within her; her legs went weak and she nearly fainted.
"Tsunade, behold, Hanzō, defeated by my very hands!"
"Why don't you behold, how I defeat you with my own hands."
Last time the Uchiha destroyed the movie theater, how much did the damages cost again?
Ten million ryō, two S-rank mission rewards, wasn't it?
She summoned a ten-million-ryō note and tossed it with perfect accuracy into Yahiko's hands.
"Hot-headed fool!"
Then she leaped high into the air...

Jiraiya was seriously injured, so much so that he had to be carried to Yahiko's concert. But Yoake's development took off completely thanks to this injury of Jiraiya's.
That one kick had ushered in an unprecedented golden age.
On the newspaper...
[Shocking! On the very day the movie was released, one of Tsunade, after watching the film, actually did that to Jiraiya?!]
Below was a picture somehow taken by Tobi from an odd angle, Tsunade sitting on top of Jiraiya.
The box office skyrocketed instantly!
People all across the great nations flocked to theaters, eager to see what the fuss was about. Cinemas were packed to the brim.
Movie ticket sales poured endlessly into Yahiko's pockets.
As the film went viral, many influential people across the great nations set their sights on the newspaper industry, and on the wildly lucrative movie business.
The great nations had signed non-aggression treaties. But nobody had said they couldn't steal each other's business.
With his charisma and skill, he turned the newspaper company into the top dog of the shinobi world.
They put all their energy into the concerts.

At evening, Sakumo, dressed in a black suit, and Kakashi, in a suit of his own, were brought in to maintain order at the venue.
Their looks were already outstanding, and they were father and son. The pair made many noblewomen swallow hard in desire.
"Sigh..."
Kakashi gave a helpless shrug, helping Sakumo's men usher these women into the first ring of the concert venue.
That aloof, "world-weary little puppy" expression of his only made the noblewomen love him more. How much would it cost to keep him for a night?! They wanted to keep him for a whole year first.
But he was destined to be the boy they could never have.
Once inside the concert, with crowds everywhere, people immediately turned their eyes to the stage, searching for Yahiko.
Representatives from various villages, including Minato, had been invited and sat in the front row with their own folding chairs.
With a flash of the Body Flicker Technique, Yahiko appeared on stage, raised his microphone, and began to sing. The atmosphere hit its peak instantly.
"Uchiha... created the disaster..."
Minato, Tsunade, and Kakashi all thought this song was... surprisingly fitting.
Recently, tensions between the Uchiha and Danzō had been escalating. Danzō was lobbying the daimyō, while the Uchiha occasionally made a show of arresting a few Root ninjas and hauling them into the Police Force for interrogation.
Tsunade drifted into memories, Yahiko's voice sounded so much like Tobirama, almost as if he himself were up there singing on stage.
It wasn't intentional mimicry; Yahiko had simply discovered that his voice was actually quite similar to Tobirama's.
A and the others were practically wishing for the Uchiha and Danzō to start fighting outright. "Great singing!"
But many people were puzzled, just who exactly were "Sasuke" and "Itachi"? And why were they on opposite sides?
By the end of one song, Yahiko was completely hyped up.
Facing the fans' enthusiasm and the roaring waves of cheers at the venue, he decisively invited a few people on stage for a duet.
First, he called Minato.
He liked the excitement, and he'd heard the whole concert was being recorded. Something called a "live version" could even be shown in theaters. He hoped Kushina would see it!
Whatever Yahiko sang, he sang along exactly.
As ninja, they all had perfect pitch.
After hearing it once, Minato could immediately follow.
"Ahhh! Both are so cute! Are you trying to kill me?"
Hearing the raucous shouts of the women below, Konan was irritated. Yahiko used to sing only for her.
Pakura waved her glowstick energetically, after finishing her cupping therapy, all her excess heat was gone. Behind her, quite a few people sighed silently. Such a good-looking girl... why did she have so many big red circles on her back?
Well, maybe it was just a personal hobby.
No one bothered to explain to her.
Next came B and A.
There was no way they'd miss this chance to represent Kumo, they wanted to outsing Minato. This would be the first clash between the A-B Combo and Minato.
"Raikage," Yahiko said.
"Yes!" A answered reflexively.
Wait a second, I'm not Raikage yet.
Sure, in Kumo it was always "father dies, son inherits," and when his father died he would become Raikage, but wasn't it a bit early for that?
But Yahiko's next question came right away.
"What do you like?"
"Training... but I like you more."
Yahiko silently mouthed the line, and A instinctively followed, even imitating Yahiko's tone.
Ugh!!!
Someone actually threw up. Even Yahiko almost couldn't hold it in, he was standing closest to A and could see every detail of A's expression. A, being on stage for the first time, was a bit embarrassed, which only made it more awkwardly fake.
Ah... could someone lend me a pair of ears that have never heard A singing in a cute voice?
Well, he had chosen this himself, so he had to sing through it with tears in his eyes.
After A, it was B's turn.
One song later, Yahiko and several others were close to breaking down.
Next, they picked Kakashi for a bit of eye candy. This stubborn kid refused to come up, saying he absolutely wouldn't perform.
But how could that be? If he didn't, Yoake's idol project would die before it was born!
"Pain's books aren't for sale," Yahiko tried moving his lips, speaking toward the dead-fish-eyed Kakashi.
"Ahem."
Kakashi reluctantly came up on stage. No one heard what Yahiko said to him, but they saw him take quick strides, six steps in a second.
"Our memories together..."
The entire venue erupted in screams.
Madara was seriously about to die from exasperation.
