Chapter 171 Tsunade's Finger Massage (Part 3, Part 4)
The Land of Rivers.
A forest suddenly became foggy, followed by screams.
A moment later, the sound of breaking wind was heard.
Tsunade, Hanekawa, Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara arrived.
"We are a step too late."
Tsunade sniffed the strong smell of blood in the air, and her face looked a little bad.
"There are still six ninjas left."
Hanekawa closed his eyes and said.
"Get ready for battle! Kill them!"
Tsunade said in a deep voice.
After she finished speaking, her body sank into the thick fog.
Hanekawa followed closely behind, but Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara stayed where they were.
This was the tactic their team had summed up in the past week.
The reason was simple.
After the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village discovered Tsunade's identity, they often fled outside.
At this time, Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara, who were guarding outside, played a blocking role.
Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!
Hanekawa formed seals with both hands and slapped the thick fog.
The wind escape chakra gathered and compressed in his hands, and when it reached the critical point, it turned into a strong wind.
One third of the thick fog was blown away in an instant, revealing the figures of three ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village.
Hanekawa had never shown his wind escape in front of Tsunade before, and he had only started this week.
He thought about it carefully, and since he was already a genius, he might as well carry it through to the end.
In fact, as he expected, Tsunade was not surprised.
After all, Hanekawa had already used water escape, lightning escape, fire escape and earth escape, and adding a wind escape would be... very reasonable.
"Enemy attack!"
One of the senior ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village quickly issued a warning.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.
Because he saw Tsunade.
"Quick..."
But before he could say the word "run", the body of the senior ninja from the Hidden Mist Village was already punched away.
Hanekawa ignored Tsunade, and with her strength, nothing would happen to her.
He took out the Thunder and Fire Sword, and his body flashed, and he rushed towards the three ninjas hidden in the fog.
The sound of breaking wind was heard.
Dense kunai flew towards him.
Dance of the Three Moons!
Hanekawa's body shook, and two shadow clones appeared in the smoke.
The left shadow clone formed seals with both hands, and a water wall rose up immediately.
Hanekawa jumped up, stepped on the water wall, and reached the mid-air.
His speed was extremely fast, and the lightning sword in his hand emitted lightning.
The face of the Mist Village Chunin who was facing him suddenly changed.
He felt a strong sense of crisis.
But as soon as he touched the kunai in his bag, the lightning sword flew over and pierced his throat.
Blood spurted out.
"Asshole!"
Another Mist Village ninja quickly formed seals.
A rush of water spurted out of his mouth, and in the air, it instantly expanded and turned into a big water ball and hit Hanekawa.
As soon as Hanekawa drew out the lightning sword, the big water ball was already above his head.
But he didn't care at all.
Because his shadow clone formed a seal in time.
Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet!
The ground rolled and formed a mud puddle. A dragon head emerged and spit out a mud bullet.
The mud bullet leaped out and collided with the big water ball.
Instant Body Technique!
Hanekawa's body disappeared on the spot.
The Kirigakure ninja was shocked and looked around.
But what he didn't notice was that the air above his head was distorted, and a pile of clay fell from the sky and buried him alive.
A flash of lightning.
Hanekawa held the Thunder and Fire Sword with both hands and stabbed it into the clay.
A lot of blood seeped out.
He turned his head and saw the last Kirigakure ninja fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
It was Hanekawa's second shadow clone.
He used Konoha Style: Willow.
Hanekawa dispersed two shadow clones and looked at Tsunade.
Her speed was not bad either, and she successfully dealt with the other three Kirigakure ninjas.
At this point, all six Kirigakure ninjas were dead.
The thick fog gradually dispersed, revealing the bodies of everyone.
In addition to the six Kirigakure ninjas, there were four Konoha ninjas.
Hanekawa sighed and put away the Thunderfire Sword.
War was so cruel. He had seen many of his companions' bodies and had long been accustomed to it.
"Hanekawa, how are you?"
Yuhi Kurenai hurried up and asked.
"I'm fine."
Hanekawa smiled and touched her head.
Nohara Rin, who was walking forward, stopped immediately when she saw this scene.
Tsunade silently checked the four Konoha ninjas on the ground. After confirming that there was no hope, she released a flare.
This was to notify the ninja team of the Konoha camp to come and collect the bodies and guard the outpost.
After waiting for half an hour, eight Konoha ninjas appeared.
Without Tsunade saying much, they moved the bodies away.
The remaining team entered the outpost and began to organize and arrange. They would replace the dead ninjas.
"Let's go back."
Tsunade looked around and turned to walk out.
Hanekawa, Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin hurried to follow.
"Tsunade-sama."
As soon as they returned to the camp, Nara Suzaku came up to them and said, "There is a lot of information coming from Konoha Village."
"Send it to my tent."
Tsunade said casually.
Sarutobi Hiruzen would regularly send Anbu to pass on information to them, so she was used to it.
But today, she saw her dead companions and was in a bad mood, so she was too lazy to check the main account.
"Yes."
Nara Suzaku nodded and turned to leave.
"You go and rest."
Tsunade glanced at Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin, and then walked into her tent.
"Tsunade-sensei..."
Nohara Rin hesitated, her tone a little worried.
"Nothing."
Hekawa said, and followed.
He lifted the door curtain and couldn't help blinking.
Tsunade sat on the carpet, her whole body lying on the table.
He could clearly see the deformed clothes and the heavy burden that was crushed.
Hanekawa thought for a while, then stopped and stood still.
"Hekawa."
Half a minute later, Nara Suzaku appeared and handed him the file in his hand.
"Thank you."
Hekawa took the file, walked into the tent, and sat down opposite Tsunade.
"Read it to me."
Tsunade looked up at him, looking lazy.
Hanekawa nodded slightly, and then opened the file casually. Just a glance made him feel shocked.
He suppressed his surprise and read: "Orochimaru advanced recklessly and fell into the trap of the Hidden Cloud Village, resulting in hundreds of casualties."
"What happened?"
Tsunade sat up suddenly and asked.
As she moved, her clothes trembled.
Hekawa's eyelids jumped and handed her the document.
Tsunade immediately read it.
Hekawa looked at her, slightly absent-minded.
He was wondering whether Orochimaru did it on purpose or accidentally.
The content of the document was not complicated, and it talked about what happened the day before yesterday.
It was probably that Orochimaru found the two lone Yukitos, so he took a group of ninjas there, but was ambushed.
The fourth generation Raikage Ai and Killer Bee appeared at the same time and launched a fierce attack on them.
After a fierce battle, Orochimaru and others escaped, but lost hundreds of ninjas.
But the Uchiha clan suffered the most losses.
Because Orochimaru brought a lot of Uchiha ninjas, which eventually led to their deaths.
Among them, there were even four Uchiha senior ninjas.
Of course, this is also the reason why Hanekawa became suspicious.
As a fan of the original work, he naturally knew that Orochimaru was obsessed with the Uchiha clan or the Sharingan, and even taught Uchiha Sasuke.
"How could Orochimaru make such a mistake?"
Tsunade frowned after reading the document.
"The battlefield changes rapidly, and no one dares to guarantee anything."
Hanekawa came back to his senses and said.
Please...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\Bar!)
"That being said, Orochimaru has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so aggressive."
Tsunade exhaled and sighed, "The loss of hundreds of people at one time is a big blow to Konoha Village."
If it were a hundred Genin, it wouldn't have such a big impact, but there were quite a few Jonin among them.
"The Hidden Cloud Village is not the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village. They have too many strong people."
Hanekawa shook his head and said comfortingly.
How to say it?
No matter what the reason, Orochimaru did suffer a defeat.
In contrast, Tsunade had just dealt with Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga.
In short, in the first round of the confrontation between the two Hokage candidates, Tsunade had the upper hand.
Although she did not have the idea of competing with Orochimaru, her lack of desire did not mean that the other ninja clans did not have it.
The Uchiha clan suffered heavy losses this time, and they might have suspected Orochimaru.
"Indeed."
Tsunade restrained her emotions and nodded, saying, "The strength of the Hidden Cloud Village is not worse than that of the Hidden Leaf Village, so it is normal that it is difficult to fight."
"What is the reaction of the Hokage?"
Hanekawa thought for a while and asked.
He did not finish reading the document, but only saw the situation related to Orochimaru, and gave it to Tsunade.
"Danzo took the initiative to lead the Anbu to the Frost Country."
Tsunade snorted coldly and said, "This old guy is still thief-like!"
Danzo?
Hanekawa's heart moved.
Could it be that this reckless advance was the suggestion of Shimura Danzo?
Did he feel a sense of urgency after hearing that Tsunade killed Biwa Juzo and Kuroki Raiga?
After all, Orochimaru has many choices, he can choose not to be Hokage, but Shimura Danzo can't.
His only hope is Orochimaru.
Hanekawa touched his chin.
Thinking about it carefully, Shimura Danzo is really not weak, he can be called the strongest wind ninja in Konoha Village.
In addition, he is also good at sealing techniques, and even has Izanagi's eye technique similar to resurrection technique.
Sure enough, people can do anything when they are forced into a corner.
In the original work, it is not mentioned that Shimura Danzo participated in the Third Ninja World War, but it is said that he cooperated with Hanzo and forced Yahiko to death.
Now, in order to maintain his position, he works very hard.
"Orochimaru will have a headache with the matter of Kumogakure."
Tsunade put down the file and said, "We have to find the headquarters of Kirigakure as soon as possible."
"They are too flexible on the sea."
Hekawa recalled the several missed attempts this week and said, "It's hard for us to catch them."
"It's really troublesome."
Tsunade rubbed her forehead and said.
"How about I try?"
Hekawa asked tentatively.
Although the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is very useful for reconnaissance, they are not good at water escape, and the effect is greatly reduced at sea.
Many times, before reaching the range of the Byakugan, they have been detected by the water escape ninja of Kirigakure.
Hekawa is different, he can move freely in the sea.
He also learned the water escape technique of water instant body from Hanzo, which can perfectly blend into the water.
With the bonus of the ‘Water Style Special Jonin’ entry, Hanekawa is confident that his Water Style can rank in the top ten in the Hidden Mist Village.
Moreover, he can go out on rainy days, so that he can trigger the ‘Rain God’ entry.
With the 100% bonus of Water Style, he thinks he can be in the top three, not to mention the top ten.
“No!”
Tsunade refused without thinking.
She knew Hanekawa was the most suitable candidate, but this matter was too dangerous. If she was not careful, she would be trapped.
She could never allow such a thing.
After all, she had already lost Rope Tree, and it was impossible for her to lose Hanekawa again.
“Teacher.”
Hekawa held her hand and said, “My strength is not bad, and I can run away if I am discovered.”
“What if it is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?”
Tsunade stared at him and asked.
“That’s okay.”
Hekawa said indifferently, “I have the Yin Seal, and I can at least hold out for half an hour under their siege.”
“Shut up!”
Tsunade stared at him and said very dissatisfiedly.
We're all going to die anyway, so what's the point of holding on for half an hour?
"Half an hour is enough for the teacher to come and save me."
Hanekawa said with a smile, "I mean we go together."
Tsunade was startled.
If two people go together, there will be danger, but not life-threatening.
As Hanekawa said, as long as she arrives in time, it will be fine.
"You..."
Tsunade was about to say something when she met his firm eyes.
She pursed her lips and fell into silence.
"I'll go with you tomorrow."
After a moment, Tsunade said slowly.
Her mood was quite complicated. This kid has grown up after all.
"Yeah!"
Hanekawa nodded vigorously.
How to say it?
It is indeed an adventure.
But he has many means now, so it's worth a try.
Of course, the main reason is to help Tsunade ascend to the position of Hokage.
As long as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are killed, they will be ahead of Orochimaru by a large margin.
Tsunade suddenly noticed that Hanekawa had been holding her hand, and she felt a little strange in her heart.
But she hesitated and did not pull out her hand.
"The sea is boundless, it's not easy for you to find them."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said seriously, "Don't rush for quick success, take it slowly, it doesn't matter if you spend more time."
She was worried that Hanekawa would be too aggressive and fall into a trap or an ambush.
"I understand."
Hanekawa blinked.
He found that Tsunade didn't seem to care about being shaken.
Hanekawa's heart moved, pinched her slender fingers, and scratched her palm by the way.
"......?"
Tsunade looked at him subconsciously.
How dare you, little brat, go further?
"Teacher."
Hanekawa said nonsense seriously, "I know a set of massage techniques that can relieve finger fatigue. Do you want to try it?"
"What is it?"
Tsunade paused and asked.
"Spread your hand."
Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and said.
Tsunade stretched out her hand, and her five white fingers slightly separated, revealing her delicate and smooth palm.
It's really beautiful.
Hanekawa thought about it and held her hand, then slowly placed his two thumbs on her palm.
Tsunade's heart trembled slightly, but she found that he didn't know how to massage at all.
She could still tell who had skills and who didn't.
However, the strength was moderate, and it was indeed comfortable.
Tsunade let him massage.
