Chapter 45: Tsunade Joins the Battle

Just before the Seven Star Sword chopped down the Black Tortoise, a short blade flashing with lightning broke out of the ground and blocked the falling great sword. A low and gentle voice sounded, "Am I too late?"

The person who came was Hatake Sakumo who had returned.

The cooling time for entering and exiting the "realm" space has long passed. Does he really think that Akimichi Genbu is an idiot? He didn't hide when the knife was about to hit him. The reason why he dared to be so reckless is because he had already sensed Hatake Sakumo underground.

As soon as they left the Land of Craftsmen, they were hunted down, and the tactics used against them were very targeted. Akimichi Genbu knew with his butt that their intelligence had been leaked.

Tsunade and Sakumo are absolutely reliable, but Hyuga Ito is a ninja that he just met. Akimichi Genbu cannot confirm whether he is a traitor or not, so when he gave supplies to Hatake Sakumo, he secretly slipped a note, the content of which was that after getting rid of the pursuers, he would secretly use a shadow clone to replace himself and Hyuga Ito to take the mission scroll back to the village, while he himself would go back. Otherwise, would Hatake Sakumo be so easily persuaded?

In his previous life, he was a man who was willing to give up his mission in order to save his companions.

Because there were too many people chasing him, it took him two days to completely shake them off. Finally, he arrived when Akimichi Genbu dealt with Benimaru and sent chakra to Genbu to let him sense himself underground.

"No, the timing is right!" Qiu Dao Xuanwu endured the pain and stood up quickly. A large sickle appeared in his hand and cut towards Jinjiao's abdomen. The purple sheen on the sickle blade made Jinjiao feel a little scared. He immediately used the palm-leaf fan to block the giant sickle, but Xuanwu turned the sickle around and held the fan, preventing Jinjiao from pulling it out.

Hatake Sakumo's short blade slid on the Seven Star Sword and stabbed towards Kinkaku's abdomen at an extremely tricky angle, leaving Kinkaku with no way to avoid it.

It happened in just a moment, and the other ninjas didn't react at all.

At the critical moment, Ye Yueli's Thunder Release Chakra mode, who was following behind Jinjiao, exploded, and his five-handed weapon stretched out from his waist to block the attack of the short blade.

The surrounding ninjas finally reacted and joined the siege. Dozens of ninja swords stabbed at the two men. Hatake Sakumo used the Lightning Release Technique to escape from the encirclement.

The sickle in Xuanwu's hand disappeared inexplicably and he used "Paper Painting" to avoid the attack, but four ninja swords were still stabbed into his body. Three of them stabbed into the parts where Haki was attached, but the last one pierced through his left upper arm where Haki was not attached. The tip of the sword hit his abdomen before it was blocked by Haki.

At the same time, Akimichi Genbu's Sharingan had turned into a Mangekyo, and with the "Kunai Throwing Technique", a large number of kunai appeared out of thin air and shot out in all directions with him as the center.

This wave of attack was too fast. Only Kinkaku, Yotsuki Riki and three senior ninjas who were far away from Xuanwu were intact. The other ninjas who dodged were more or less injured. The ninja who stabbed Xuanwu's upper arm was shot into a hornet's nest.

Originally they thought they were just minor injuries, but soon the injured began to have purple lips, blue eyes, and dizziness. Those with more serious injuries even fell to the ground and their lives were unknown.

"What kind of poison is this? Why is it so overbearing?"

"I don't want to die yet!"

"Who has the antidote? Give it to me now!!!"

......

Voices of begging for mercy, wailing, and excruciating pain were heard one after another.

Kinkaku didn't even look at these people. Apart from Yotsuki Riki, his subordinate he brought from the Hidden Rain Village, and Benimaru, who could make him angry, the death of other tools would hardly cause him any emotional fluctuations. At most, he would feel annoyed because he had to find replacements.

What he is currently concerned about is Akimichi Genbu's poison. "Little bastard, did your poison come from Hanzo of the Salamander? How do you have his poison?"

At this time, Akimichi Xuanwu was covered in wounds and looked horrible, but he was the toughest person in his body. "If you want to know, give me your palm leaf fan in exchange."

"Since you don't want to say it, then shut up forever!" The Golden Horned Sword chopped down again. Hatake Sakumo wanted to come over to support but was stopped by Ye Yueli and three senior ninjas.

However, the one that flew backwards was not Xuanwu, but Jinjiao.

Tsunade suddenly appeared beside Kinkaku, "Nani, how could she appear out of nowhere?"

Without giving Kinkaku time to react, Tsunade's "Super Strength Punch" sent him flying a hundred meters away. This was the first time Kinkaku had suffered damage after fighting for so long. Tsunade's punch broke two of his ribs.

"Teacher Tsunade, are you really okay?" Akimichi Genbu was still a little worried.

"Don't worry. I'm a medical ninja a hundred times stronger than you. My internal organs have been healed and my bones are completely reconnected. The cost was just all my chakra."

"So what is your chakra now?"

"I found your special ration pills."

Well, Xuanwu has nothing to say, as long as you don’t care about your big rabbit.

As long as the people in his "realm" space are able to communicate with him, Xuanwu only needs to speak in his mind and the information will be transmitted to Tsunade's consciousness.

Similarly, what Tsunade wants to say can also be conveyed to him through thoughts.

When Tsunade said that she was going to join the war after she recovered, Akimichi Genbu was skeptical, but Tsunade kept talking and showing off her teacher's authority, so Genbu had to arrange this surprise attack, and it now seems to be working well.

"You focus on healing first, and leave the rest to me and Sakumo." Tsunade said, turning her back to Xuanwu. She clenched her left fist and put it to her mouth and coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment. "Ahem, well, mine doesn't smell good at all. Don't talk nonsense in the future."

After saying this, Tsunade rushed towards Kinkaku without waiting for Xuanwu to say anything.

Xuanwu was confused, "???"

The knocked-away Jinjiao was furious. Damn it, he defended for so long in vain, and finally got hit hard. "A bunch of ignorant brats!"

The tailed beast Kinkaku appears again, but Tsunade is fearless.

......

Xuanwu was healing himself while observing the situation on the battlefield. Tsunade could hold on for a short period of time, but it was easier for Hatake Sakumo, as he had already killed a senior ninja in such a short while.

Kinkaku could naturally see the situation on the battlefield that he saw. The situation was not favorable to him. Tsunade, who was fighting him alone, had obviously learned her lesson. She did not fight him head-on with physical skills like last time, but instead adopted a tactic of combining free-range fighting and ninjutsu to hold him back.

The water jutsu inherited from the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, is extremely troublesome. The Water Array Wall, Water Trumpet, Water Wave and Explosive Water Wave can greatly restrict his movements. The Hard Vortex Water Blade makes him even more afraid. More than ten years ago, Tobirama Senju used this ninjutsu to pierce through him when he was in the form of a tailed beast, so he was so scared when Tsunade performed it.

In fact, he was worrying too much. Not only was this technique extremely energy-consuming, but Tsunade had not yet mastered it. Right now, she could only break through defenses. For Kinkaku to penetrate the tailed beast state was completely nonsense and was far inferior to her previous "supernatural strength" full-strength attack.
