The Hyuga ninja gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "The Sand Village army is right above us. We can't escape."
His voice was filled with despair and helplessness, and everyone's hearts sank when they heard it, realizing that they were in dire straits.
At this moment, the same cold voice rang out again, this time with a mocking tone:
"He's right, we have you completely surrounded. Will you choose to surrender gracefully on your own, or will we help you surrender gracefully?"
Faced with this provocation, the Konoha ninjas did not back down; instead, it fueled their fighting spirit.
"Charge up and fight them!" a ninja roared.
“That’s right!” another ninja chimed in. “Killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus! We will never sit idly by and wait to die!”
Just as they were filled with excitement and preparing for a desperate fight, a loud bang suddenly rang out.
Along with the loud bang came the scream of the one who had been provoking them.
"Not bad, as expected of someone from Konoha!"
Everyone looked up in astonishment and saw that the top of the tunnel above them had been completely lifted, and sunlight streamed in through the opening, illuminating the once dark tunnel.
Bathed in sunlight, Tsunade, with her blonde hair, stood at the entrance of the tunnel, looking at the ninjas with admiration, her eyes gleaming with pride and self-satisfaction.
At that moment, the despair and helplessness in the ninjas' hearts vanished instantly, replaced by boundless joy and excitement.
Chapter 168 Tsunade's Battle
"Tsunade-sama!"
When Tsunade appeared at the tunnel entrance, the ninjas cheered excitedly, their faces beaming with joy.
They only knew Tsunade as one of the Fifth Hokage's wives, but today, her appearance has given them a completely new understanding of this blonde female ninja.
Tsunade smiled and nodded to the assembled ninjas, then her gaze turned cold and sharp as she turned her attention to the outside of the tunnel, shouting sternly:
"You scum from Sunagakure, how dare you attack Konoha ninja! Today is your death day!"
At the same time, the scene outside the tunnel is also revealed.
Several thousand Sand Village soldiers had surrounded the area, all their eyes fixed on Tsunade.
"Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage's wife? What are you doing here?"
Kurosha, as the next Kazekage candidate, is currently leading this Sand Ninja force.
Upon seeing Tsunade, he frowned, seemingly puzzled.
However, he quickly seemed to realize something, his expression changed, and he asked urgently, "What have you done to Lord Shamen?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's lips curled into a cold smile: "You will soon be reunited with your Kazekage!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura burst forth from her body, and visible chakra energy surged around her.
Immediately afterwards, she rushed towards Black Sand with lightning speed and kicked him hard.
Black Sand's reaction speed was also extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he successfully used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to avoid the attack.
However, just as a sense of relief welled up in his heart, the ground where Tsunade's foot landed suddenly underwent a cataclysmic change.
Where Tsunade landed, the ground instantly sank, and then the surrounding area of dozens of meters collapsed as if it had been torn apart.
The immense impact sent Black Sand flying far away; even though he dodged Tsunade's direct attack, he was still inevitably affected.
Black sand tumbled through the air as he struggled to regain his footing. When he finally stood firm, his face was covered in dust, but his eyes remained sharp as an eagle's, fixed intently on Tsunade.
"As expected of someone who worked with the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, you are indeed very strong." Kurosha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice.
Tsunade stood proudly, her golden hair shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight:
"Your Kazekage from Sunagakure dared to openly attack the Fifth Hokage! Today marks the end of your days!"
Upon seeing that Kurosa was injured, the surrounding Sand Ninja troops immediately became agitated.
They exchanged uneasy glances, seemingly weighing how to deal with the powerful enemy before them.
However, Tsunade's strength made them wary, and no one dared to make a rash move.
Hei Sha took a deep breath, calming the surging blood and qi within his body.
He looked up at Tsunade, his eyes flashing with determination:
"Tsunade, you are powerful, but our Sand Village is not a lamb to be slaughtered. Besides, you are alone. In today's battle, the outcome is still uncertain!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the surrounding Sand Ninja troops surged towards Tsunade like a tide.
They each unleashed their signature ninjutsu, and in an instant, flames, water pillars, and wind blades intertwined, hurtling towards Tsunade.
Despite the overwhelming attack, Tsunade showed no fear.
With a swift movement, she darted across the battlefield like a golden lightning bolt.
Her punches, kicks, and elbow strikes were all imbued with intense chakra energy, and each attack generated a tremendous commotion.
Each strike rejuvenated the earth, and each strike rendered dozens of Sand Ninjas motionless.
Illusions were useless against her, their speed couldn't match hers, and they were unafraid of being hurt. Her body moved as if she were on cheat code, without any stiffness.
This version of Tsunade instilled in the Sand Ninja an unprecedented sense of despair.
It's just that the Sand Ninjas were spread out, otherwise she could have killed them all in no time.
Seeing this, Black Sand's heart sank.
He realized that if things continued this way, Sunagakure would likely suffer unbearable losses.
He also tried to use his Iron Sand Technique to defend against Tsunade's attack, but like other Sand Ninja, his ninjutsu was so fragile in front of Tsunade, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
Seeing this, Kurosha could only hope that Tsunade's condition wouldn't last.
However, what he didn't know was that Tsunade's current state was merely a warm-up.
At this moment, Tsunade's strange luck in gambling began to take effect.
As if by some strange twist of fate, Kurosawa saw the Konoha ninjas peeking out of the tunnel, looking at Tsunade with adoration.
A plan instantly formed in his mind, and he shouted, "Attack the people in the tunnel!"
At his command, the Sand Ninja troops seemed to be infused with a violent power. They quickly changed their targets, unleashing a barrage of ninjutsu and kunai at the Konoha ninjas in the tunnel.
Upon witnessing this, Tsunade was consumed by rage and roared, "Despicable!"
Immediately afterwards, she moved like the wind and instantly appeared in front of the Konoha ninjas.
With her hands clasped together, a powerful surge of chakra energy gathered within her body:
"Wood Release. Wooden Man Technique!"
As Tsunade's shout fell, a massive wooden doll appeared out of thin air, standing like a mountain at the entrance to the tunnel, forming an indestructible barrier for the Konoha ninja and withstanding the fierce attack from the Sand Ninja forces.
Black Sand stared at the enormous wooden figure, and an overwhelming sense of despair welled up in his heart.
He was naturally familiar with the legend of Hashirama Senju, the hero who pacified the chaotic world, whose Wood Release ninjutsu was renowned throughout the land.
The fact that Tsunade, his granddaughter, is now using Wood Release speaks volumes.
Recalling Tsunade's previous battles, a chilling realization dawned on Kurosa: "So, she has never been giving it her all."
This thought, like a cold, venomous snake, gnawed fiercely at his heart.
If Tsunade had displayed her full strength from the very beginning of the battle, the cost to Sunagakure would likely have been many times greater.
Thinking of the unknown whereabouts of the Second Kazekage, Shamon, Kurosha's face turned ashen, and he resolutely issued the order:
"The puppet squad will stay behind to buy time for the others to retreat. The rest of you, scatter and flee immediately."
He knew that at this critical juncture, only by preserving his strength could he leave behind a spark for the village's revival.
Even in the face of the possibility of defeat, it is essential to ensure that a portion of the force can safely evacuate, leaving hope for the future of Sunagakure.
However, while the ideal is beautiful, reality is cruel.
The Sand Village's attack on the Konoha ninja thoroughly enraged Tsunade, and she displayed unprecedented power.
On the earth, green lights bloom like a dream, like stars in the night sky, breathtakingly beautiful.
However, for the Sand Village residents who were there, this beautiful scenery was like a nightmare.
Once they touch these green dots of light, they will feel their chakra being rapidly drained away until they are completely powerless and collapse to the ground.
"Wood Release: Dance of the Green!"
Chapter 169 The Remaining Battlefields
Unlike the Sand Village ninjas, when the Konoha ninjas came into contact with these green lights, they experienced a purification and revival of body and mind.
These specks of light seemed to possess a magical power, gently cleansing their bodies.
During this process, not only did the wounds on his body gradually heal, but the chakra he had consumed was also restored.
The "Dance of the Green Field" ninjutsu is a unique technique created by Tsunade, which incorporates the essence of medical ninjutsu.
By manipulating spores to fly in the air, they parasitize enemies and absorb their chakra, then cleverly use this chakra to heal wounds and restore strength to their own side.
Compared to the Descent of the Trees, Dance of the Greens may lack the devastating power, but its wide range and unique effects make it even more difficult for enemies to defend against.
Moreover, it also has the amazing ability to assist teammates, providing them with continuous healing and support during battle.
It is a rare and versatile ninjutsu.
Kurosha lay on the ground, his eyes filled with despair. Looking at the Sand Village ninjas lying on the ground around him, his heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he was in so much pain that he could not breathe.
However, when his gaze turned to the fleeing logistics troops in the distance, a sense of relief welled up inside him.
He knew that at least a portion of Sunagakure's power had been preserved, and they would become the spark for the village's revival, leaving hope for future battles.
At this moment, Black Sands deeply felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, but at the same time, he also saw a glimmer of hope.
He knew that as long as there were still people, Sunagakure would one day rise again.
Tsunade, on the other hand, had already realized that she had done a lot of things that wasted time.
Knowing her sisters as she did, she figured they might have already finished fighting by now.
As she expected, there were no remaining Konoha troops at the place where Nono, Osamu, and Hinata were.
Naturally, there's no need to waste time helping them.
