Chapter 1307 T-shirt

Just as everyone was anxiously surrounding Tsunade, the monster that had fallen to the ground slowly rose again, emanating an even more terrifying aura. It turned out that the previous attack had only forced it to lie dormant; now it was gathering even greater power to counterattack. Before anyone could react with surprise, everyone could only assume their fighting stances once more. Naruto, suppressing his worry, prepared to condense a Rasengan again, but the previous battle had greatly depleted his stamina, making this Rasengan incredibly difficult to form. Sasuke, too, was running low on chakra due to using Amaterasu. Just as the monster was about to attack, the unconscious Tsunade suddenly opened her eyes, a resolute glint in them. She forced herself to stand, her hands forming hand seals, unleashing a forbidden technique. A powerful force instantly enveloped the monster, suppressing it completely. However, this also overwhelmed Tsunade's already weakened body, and after the light faded, Tsunade fainted again. This time, however, the monster was completely destroyed. Although exhausted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took Tsunade back to Konoha for treatment. Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade was rushed to the hospital. Everyone stood guard outside the ward, their expressions grave. Naruto clenched his fists, blaming himself for failing to protect Tsunade. Sasuke stood silently to the side, a hint of worry in his eyes. Time ticked by, and finally, the doctor emerged from the ward. "Lady Tsunade is out of immediate danger, but she is extremely weak and will require a long period of recuperation." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the Anbu arrived to report that the monster had been modified by a hostile force specifically to attack Konoha. Upon waking and learning of this, Tsunade, despite her weakened state, began to devise a defense plan. Naruto, Sasuke, and others also pledged their full support to protect Konoha. They understood that while the crisis was temporarily averted, greater challenges lay ahead, and they needed to unite to face the unknown dangers. Just as everyone was gearing up for the upcoming challenges, a mysterious letter arrived in Tsunade's hands. Unsigned, the letter's contents caused everyone's expressions to change drastically. It stated that the monster was merely the beginning, and the real killing blow was about to strike, revealing a shocking piece of information: there was a traitor within Konoha, constantly transmitting intelligence to the enemy. Tsunade immediately ordered the Anbu to secretly investigate the traitor. Meanwhile, Naruto, Sasuke, and other core members began intensive training to improve their strength. They patrolled the area around Konoha in groups to prevent further enemy attacks. Days passed, but the investigation made no progress. Just as everyone was growing anxious, new signs emerged indicating that the enemy seemed to be planning a larger-scale operation. A dark cloud was gathering over Konoha Village, and everyone's hearts tightened even more. They didn't know what hardships and dangers they would face next, but their determination to protect Konoha remained unwavering. Just when everyone was at a loss, Naruto suddenly suggested, "Could the traitor be in our patrol team? After all, only our actions are known to the enemy so clearly." Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Sasuke nodded and said, "That's possible. We need to observe secretly." So, on the surface, everyone continued their normal training and patrols, but in reality, they were all keeping a close eye on the actions of those around them.

A few days later, during a patrol, one of the ninjas in the squad suddenly went missing. Naruto and the others followed the trail and...
