Chapter 601: The Failed Persuasion
"You..."
Tsunade was stunned by Jiraiya’s direct words, her ears reddening, but she quickly snapped back:
"Tch! Even at a time like this, you’re not serious... You can die, but I can’t?"
"Useless sacrifices are just sins!"
"Dying to protect Konoha Village—how could that be meaningless? Future generations of ninjas will remember our sacrifices, the Will of Fire passed down from the First Hokage!"
Tsunade argued fiercely.
She wasn’t afraid of death—deep down, she vaguely yearned to die bravely in battle!
"If you die, who will inherit the Will of Fire?"
"There’ll always be someone to inherit it! Didn’t you often say to trust the next generation of ninjas?"
Jiraiya fell silent, struck by his own words, feeling the sting.
"That’s different! You haven’t seen the Juubi, don’t know how terrifying that monster is. Its power far surpasses a Bijuu. One massive Bijuudama could vaporize Konoha Village instantly. All sacrifices would be in vain!"
