#126 - Chapter 126: Fight in the Ninja Village! Everyone Shows Their Skills
“Ladies and gentlemen of Konoha.”
“In the past battles with Amegakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure, many of you should have fought alongside me.”
“I won’t say any unnecessary words.”
“I’ll only say this: as long as I, Tsunade, have a breath left, as long as you have a breath left, I dare to ask the Grim Reaper for people.”
Tsunade stood at the very front of a thousand ninjas.
No lengthy speeches, no empty rhetoric, but every word of hers carried an aura of disdain for the Grim Reaper.
Only Konoha, no, the number one healer in the ninja world, would dare to say such words and still be believed.
“Do you dare to go with me and blow up Sunagakure?”
Tsunade stood with one hand on her hip, her figure heroic and valiant.
“We dare!”
The roar was like a thunderclap, echoing through the universe.
Whether they were from ninja clans, commoner ninjas, or even Uchiha who had fought to the death with the Senju in the past, they were all infected by Tsunade’s heroism at this moment.
Gazes of admiration, excitement, support, and more, focused on Tsunade.
“Tsunade.”
Hearing Tsunade’s domineering words, watching Tsunade raise morale to its peak with just a few words, even Hyuga Tenma had to sigh in admiration, as expected of the future Fifth Hokage.
In the worst era, she would stabilize Konoha, which had been reduced from the head of the five villages to the second-to-last by the F4, unable to even produce a Kage-level powerhouse, and then gradually pull it back to its peak, the strongest woman in the ninja world.
If it weren’t for her hemophobia and her departure from the village for more than a decade, even if the Fourth Hokage was still Minato Namikaze, after the Nine-Tails’ rampage, there really wouldn’t have been anything for Hiruzen Sarutobi to do.
This was what Tsunade had said before.
Strength, prestige, reputation, and achievements.
To stand at the pinnacle of the Hokage and Pirate worlds, these four things are indispensable.
Especially the first three.
“Departure!”
After a brief but morale-boosting and inspiring review, Tsunade gave a sharp shout and took the lead, darting out like an arrow released from a bow.
Behind her, rows of Konoha ninjas followed closely like a pride of lions.
Even though the ninja army had departed, leaving the training ground empty, the fierce and majestic aura still lingered in Training Ground 1, lingering for a long time.
… …
… …
Land of Rain.
A torrential downpour poured down.
Suddenly.
Rumble!
Accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, streaks of stark white lightning snaked and twisted in the rain-filled sky, illuminating the sky and also illuminating figures rapidly traversing the rain, like ghosts.
Through the illumination of the lightning, it could be seen that these figures all wore metal forehead protectors with the exact same demon-slaying symbol engraved on them.
At this time, if someone were to see them, they would immediately recognize that these were ninja forehead protectors representing Sunagakure.
Yes.
These figures, like specters, traveling under the torrential rain, were indeed Sunagakure ninjas.
Clearly, the torrential rain was so overwhelming, like a breach in the Heavenly River, washing down from above, but these Sunagakure ninjas, apart from each wearing a bamboo hat, had no other rain-avoiding tools.
Suddenly.
“Stop!”
The leading Sunagakure ninja was neither tall nor mighty, but rather quite short, and even not male, but she suddenly stopped, and with a command, the thousand Sunagakure ninjas, like a rain of arrows, stopped instantly without exception.
“Chiyo-sama.”
A Sunagakure Jonin lowered his voice, his eyes, indifferent to human life but revealing reverence, fixed on the middle-aged female ninja in front.
“Less than 100 kilometers away lies the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.”
“At that time, losing the cover of the constant torrential rain in the Land of Rain, the scent on our bodies will inevitably not be able to escape the dog noses of the Inuzuka clan of Konoha.”
“Prepare yourselves, and as soon as the heavy rain stops, immediately eliminate the scent.”
As a Sunagakure powerhouse who had experienced the Ninja World War, Chiyo’s experience was simply too rich.
Especially her experience in fighting Konoha.
Whether it was information about the Konoha ninja clans or their tactics, she knew them inside and out.
“Sensory ninjas, pay attention at all times.”
“Birds and beasts are most likely Yamanaka clan ninjas.”
“Poisonous snakes and flies are either Orochimaru or Aburame clan ninjas.”
“Except for the Byakugan, I will not allow you to be discovered by Konoha before close combat.”
Before even stepping into the Land of Fire, Chiyo had already issued orders in an orderly manner.
No ninjutsu is absolutely perfect.
Having dealt with Konoha so many times, Sunagakure had long mastered a set of tactics to deal with Konoha ninjas.
The Inuzuka clan’s dog noses can smell the chakra-laden scent of ninjas, so use a special medicinal scent to mask it.
The Yamanaka clan’s secret techniques can invade minds, so avoid the ears and eyes of birds and beasts.
The Aburame clan’s parasitic insects constantly feed on the chakra of Aburame ninjas, different from ordinary insects, they carry a chakra aura that can be detected by sensory ninjas.
The only thing that Sunagakure cannot deal with is the Byakugan.
However, because the main family was too weak in the past, even with Hyuga Hiashi, the former head of the main family, the Byakugan could only see through 6 kilometers.
Is 6 kilometers far?
For ordinary people, it is indeed not close, but for the foot speed of ninjas, it is just a moment.
Especially for the Jonin of the five great ninja villages, if they do not skimp on the consumption of chakra, their rushing speed is even faster than the top speed of a sports car.
6 kilometers?
Just about a minute.
For this Sunagakure army, all of whom are elites, being discovered at a distance of 6 kilometers is no different from already touching the enemy’s face.
As for sensory ninjutsu.
Not every sensory ninja is called Senju Tobirama, who can perceive the life strength and chakra strength of any target thousands of miles away without needing to form hand seals, with precise insight.
The sensory distance of most sensory ninjas is very limited.
Like Karin’s Kagura Shingan, which can sense a radius of dozens of kilometers, is a unique existence in the ninja world.
“Chiyo-sama, excuse my rudeness.”
“The Land of Fire is already close at hand.”
“Now you should be able to tell us what the specific mission is, right?”
A Sunagakure Jonin named Hoshino asked in a low voice.
Not only him, but the surrounding Sunagakure ninjas also looked at Chiyo.
As the vanguard, all the Sunagakure ninjas only knew that this trip was to start a war with Konoha, but how to fight specifically? Where to fight? What is the mission?
They were all completely unaware.
“Sister.”
Ebizo, who was beside her, gave Chiyo a look.
In order to prevent information from leaking, only the two of them, siblings, and a few people far away in Sunagakure village, led by the Third Kazekage, knew the mission of this battle.
“Mount Xu Fu.”
Chiyo glanced around and spat out three sinister words.
“It’s actually there!”
At the moment of hearing Mount Xu Fu, most of the Sunagakure ninjas who did not participate in the Second Ninja World War were mostly confused, but the Sunagakure ninjas who fought in the Second Ninja World War changed their expressions in horror, as if they had recalled some unbearable painful memories.
