#143 - Successfully escaped and ended the journey to Sand Village
“You two kids go first.”
Tsunade frowned, able to see Leaf ninjas rushing to provide assistance in the distance.
These past few days of hiding from the Sand Village's pursuit had left Tsunade disheveled and exhausted.
Her heart was already full of pent-up anger.
She ate a specially made soldier pill tailored for herself, recovered her chakra, and turned to look at the Sand Village ninjas.
“You really like chasing, huh?”
Tsunade slammed a fist into the ground, causing the desert to ripple like a wave.
Earth Release: Earth Wave!
She possessed the 'Earth' chakra nature transformation and could use some Earth Release ninjutsu.
The reason she didn't use it often was that she could easily defeat enemies with her monstrous strength.
Right now, she was suffering from hemophobia and couldn't stand the sight of blood, so she had been trying to control herself to inflict internal injuries, avoiding bloodshed.
Using 'Earth Release: Earth Wave' was the same, just enough to break the enemy's legs without causing blood.
Tsunade, proficient in medical arts, could easily achieve this.
“Ahhh!”
“The sand… the sand is moving!”
From Tsunade's fist as the boundary, a large fan-shaped area in front was shaking like ocean waves.
The distance and power of a ninjutsu are influenced by one's understanding of 'nin' and the amount of chakra.
Tsunade, flowing with the blood of the Senju clan and possessing the 'Mitotic Regeneration,' released this ninjutsu with a very wide range.
For a time, cries of agony echoed everywhere.
Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi heard the movement behind them, and sighed in their hearts, worthy of being one of the Sannin.
Immediately, Kurenai Yuhi thought of Kiyoshi again in her heart.
She worried about whether Kiyoshi could come out safely.
“Don't worry about him, Kiyoshi will come out safely.”
Asuma Sarutobi didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only scratch his head.
“Sand Village ninjas, are you trying to break the alliance?”
The Leaf ninjas who arrived saw that their respected Tsunade-sama actually looked haggard, and were immediately furious.
They all used their best ninjutsu to block the enemy.
Needle Senbon, Fire Release, and Wind Release ninjutsu flew around in a chaotic manner, making the scene chaotic.
Suffering from the irregular and constantly shaking sand under their feet, the Sand Village ninjas couldn't stand firm, nor could they borrow strength to jump out.
They could only see a dense mass of ninjutsu flying over, and more than a dozen Sand Village ninjas died as soon as they met.
“Damn it, Leaf ninjas are here.”
Fujijuro stomped hard on the desert, creating a five-meter-diameter crater, interrupting Tsunade's Earth Release ninjutsu.
Now that there were more and more contacts, Leaf ninjas would definitely continue to arrive later.
The operation to block the news was actually declared a failure at this moment!
“We retreat!”
Fujijuro was a taijutsu ninja, and his personality was also decisive, choosing to retreat without any hesitation.
“Huff…”
Tsunade's bright red lips exhaled a breath of air.
Such ninjutsu consumed a great deal of her chakra.
Just as Tsunade was about to drag her tired body and enter the Land of Fire to recover her chakra, she saw a black dot constantly flying in the sky.
Vulture?
Tsunade thought of this.
But the black dot was getting closer and closer, allowing Tsunade to see some outlines, which dispelled her previous thought.
Suddenly, a possibility came to her mind.
Could it be Uchiha Kiyoshi?
Other Leaf ninjas also noticed that Tsunade was always looking at the sky, and immediately looked up curiously.
Hinata Nobuhiko's Byakugan widened a bit, pointing to the top and saying:
“There is someone flying in the sky!”
As soon as this was said, everyone stared at the top.
They began to be vigilant about who was coming, and if it was someone from the Sand Village, there would be another fierce battle next.
“What are the characteristics?”
Leaf ninja Nara Jiro asked.
“Uchiha's flame fan crest.”
“Uchiha?”
Kurenai Yuhi heard this sentence, with disbelief on her face.
I haven't heard that Kiyoshi can fly?
You know, flying is an extremely rare ability, and very few ninjas can do it.
Most of them use flying summons to give themselves the ability to fly.
“Tsunade-sama, I'm back.”
Kiyoshi's figure slowly descended from the sky, gradually reducing the cyclone lingering on his body.
This desert can be described as endless, and after Kiyoshi escaped from Chiyo a few days ago, he had been looking for high ground, and then used this trick to glide on his way.
“You've got a trick up your sleeve.”
Tsunade smiled.
She didn't expect Kiyoshi to be able to come back in this way, which was really surprising.
“Kiyoshi, are you injured?”
Kurenai Yuhi trotted over and asked, she could see that Kiyoshi's robe had turned brown, which was the trace of dried blood.
Latest novel first published at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!
“No.”
Kiyoshi shook his head.
The blood on his body was all from the Sand Village ninjas, and he had very few wounds on his body.
These days, he had also encountered Sand Village troops by chance, but they were all dangerous but without incident.
With the 'Orochi-ryu Body Replacement Technique,' as long as it was not too serious an injury, it could be avoided by shedding the outer skin.
Relying on this trick, Kiyoshi had avoided several injuries.
It can only be said that Orochimaru's life-saving ability is still good, and this trick is also the ninjutsu that Orochimaru uses the most.
After Kiyoshi has 'Soft Body Modification,' his life-saving ability will continue to rise.
“Don't worry about me so much, Kurenai.”
Kiyoshi smiled lightly.
“We are… companions.”
Kurenai Yuhi said softly.
“So it's just companions?”
Kiyoshi's tone seemed to reveal a bit of disappointment.
“Eh.”
A trace of panic flashed in Kurenai Yuhi's red eyes.
What does it mean.
In Kiyoshi's heart, the relationship between the two is more than just companions?
“Yes, definitely companions.”
Asuma Sarutobi didn't hear the subtext.
Deeply influenced by the Will of Fire, the righteous Asuma Sarutobi has a special feeling for the word 'companion'.
That is an incomparably sacred word, and 'bonds' will be born here.
“Let's… let's hurry on, the Sand ninjas will be here soon.”
Kurenai Yuhi lowered her eyes and quickly turned around.
Looking at Kurenai Yuhi's shy appearance, Kiyoshi's pupil power rose a little, and there was a faint scarlet meaning in his eyes.
This is the fun of nurturing.
Let a blank sheet of paper, which has nothing but white.
Dye it your own color, which is also a memorable feeling.
“Then let's go.”
Opening his eyes again, Kiyoshi's eyes became calm.
This trip to the Sand Village can be described as a great harvest.
Not only did he complete the plan perfectly, but he also gained pupil power and some ninjutsu.
He had already laid a line in Pakura's apprentice, waiting for the next time he could continue to expand.
Pakura, who wanted to wipe away her shame, and the kind Masaki who leaked ninjutsu for the sake of her teacher.
These are Kiyoshi's pupil power packs, turned into his only resources for continuing to grow stronger!
But those are all things for next time, and he needs to wait for the opportunity to meet again.
The one who is close to Kiyoshi is… Mikoto.
Now that the war is about to break out, Mikoto and Fugaku will definitely not take it a step further.
…………
Several days passed.
Kiyoshi returned to Konoha.
