Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

If they fail to achieve their goal and kill Tsunade, they will face... the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki's, boundless rage and extremely severe punishment.

"Captain, bloodstains have been found! Sensory ninjas have confirmed it's Tsunade, a Jonin from Konoha."

A rock ninja ran up to Iwato.

"Alright, Tsunade must be nearby!"

Yan Tu, his face beaming with excitement, commanded his men, "Start a thorough search!"

At a command, the search efforts of dozens of ninjas intensified once again.

Just a few hundred meters away, in the thicket of vines, Tsunade saw the Iwa ninjas approaching her location with anxious expressions.

Because she hadn't treated some minor injuries in time, and in order to conserve chakra, these... minor injuries coalesced and exploded, putting her in a very critical situation.

"It seems we're really going to die this time! We've found the antidote for the salamander, but we can't bring it back."

I wonder if Jiraiya can hold on.

Tsunade's face showed helplessness. Having witnessed the deaths of many ninjas from her village, this time it was finally her turn.

This is the fate of a ninja; she should have foreseen this day! But surrendering and waiting to die is not Tsunade's style. Rather than... [the search continues], she'd rather fight to the last drop of strength to escape! Tsunade showed no intention of turning back; she was simply... using every last ounce of her strength to escape, pushing her body to its limits with sheer willpower.

This action also revealed her location! "Where are you!"

"Chase!"

"Kill her!"

The Iwa ninjas immediately gave chase, their faces contorted with rage. This woman had killed many of their comrades, and now they sought revenge, to make her pay the price.

Tsunade was just ahead of... the edge of the forest, and it wasn't directly facing Amegakure, although there were Iwa ninja guarding there as well.

But as long as you get out of there, you'll have a chance to escape.

This is Tsunade's only hope at the moment, and the driving force that keeps her from giving up.

However, Tsunade knew very well that even if she managed to escape the forest, she probably wouldn't be able to evade pursuit on the plains.

Unless, of course, they receive support from Konoha ninjas.

But now it seems there's no trace of any Konoha ninja at all.

This is, after all, the heart of the Land of Rain, and it's unlikely that Konoha will be able to send troops to provide assistance.

Is this how it ends? I'm not reconciled. Is this how my ninja way ends? I still want to carry on the legacy, to become Hokage, to pluck the Third Hokage's beard! The Senju clan's wealth hasn't been squandered yet, how could I possibly die! Feeling the Iwagakure ninjas chasing her, a hint of resentment flashed in Tsunade's beautiful eyes, but her speed gradually slowed down. No matter how hard she gritted her teeth, she couldn't increase her speed any further.

Just as Tsunade was about to be overtaken by the Iwagakure ninja behind her, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

The figure flashed and arrived directly in front of Tsunade.

"The Iwa ninja guards are attacking from both sides; they're truly at their wits' end!"

"But my will to live won't allow me to give up now!"

"I am the future Hokage, the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi!"

"Die!"

Tsunade instinctively tried to throw a punch, but her chakra was almost depleted, and she couldn't muster any power. Her fist was caught in the hand of the newcomer.

However, she saw the appearance of the person who came in the next moment.

Because he was on a rescue mission, Ye Chen couldn't easily expose himself while traveling, so he wore a cloak and a Rakshasa mask.

And this attire makes it immediately recognizable as that of a Konoha ANBU ninja.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the arrival of the Konoha Anbu ninja, there should be hope.

At the same time, she felt that Ye Chen's aura was slightly familiar, but she couldn't tell from his figure.

Over the past six months, Ye Chen has changed tremendously.

Whether it's height or physique! As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Tsunade felt weak and powerless all over, and was about to fall to the ground.

Ye Chen instantly reached out his hands, gently picked up Tsunade, and then leaped down from the tree trunk to land.

At this moment, the Iwagakure ninjas arrived, their aura menacing and murderous.

Tsunade, who was leaning against Ye Chen's chest, breathed a sigh of relief, but then noticed that Ye Chen seemed to be the only Anbu member by her side. Feeling uneasy, she said, "Anbu, you're the only one who came here, right? What about Konoha's troops?"

"It really is just me, Lady Tsunade."

Ye Chen shrugged and responded softly.

The voice sounded familiar to Tsunade, but she couldn't quite place it, and her face instantly turned pale.

There was only one person, how could they possibly save her! Now, they've killed two of them! Tsunade is completely exhausted and can barely stand up. With Yoru carrying her, it's almost impossible for them to escape from the encirclement of these Iwa ninja.

Tsunade said weakly, "You can't save me by yourself. Put me down and leave quickly. Send back the antidote for the salamander and the news."

Hearing this, Ye Chen fell silent! Even in this situation, Tsunade was still thinking about the safety of others! If Ye Chen had been rescuing another Jonin today, he probably would have said the opposite of what Tsunade said, and would have most likely told him to hold onto the Iwa ninja to buy them time to escape.

The Iwagakure ninjas had caught up by now, all revealing their killing intent. Some of them had even prepared hand seals, while others had taken out stacks of shuriken, ready to throw them.

Judging by their numbers, there were over thirty enemies, including three Jonin and one elite Jonin—they were incredibly powerful! Tsunade couldn't help but close her eyes; it seemed the outcome was already decided.

"A ninja will never abandon his comrades for the sake of a mission!"

Do you believe me?

Ye Chen looked at Tsunade in his arms and said.

Tsunade opened her eyes, slightly startled, unsure what to say. "Hold me tight, the battle ahead might be a bit intense!"

Ye Chen said, removing his black robe and cloak! "Kill!"

Although there was one more person, the Iwa ninja didn't waste any words and immediately took action! Instantly, all sorts of earth and fire ninjutsu, as well as a jumble of shuriken and kunai, flew towards Ye Chen.

Chapter 80 The Killer with a Girl in His Arms (Fifth Update)

　Earth Release: Earth River Chariot! Earth Release: Earth Dragon Technique! Earth Release: Granite Strike! Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique! Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet! ... Dozens of Iwa ninja attacked together, combining various Earth and Fire Release ninjutsu, along with a dense barrage of shuriken and kunai, suddenly flying towards Ye Chen, overwhelming him.

The attack was so powerful that even a regular Jonin couldn't withstand it! Looking at the overwhelming barrage of attacks, Ye Chen's eyes remained calm beneath his Rascal mask! He was no longer the same person he once was! Tsunade, in his arms, wore a look of despair, and could only close her eyes, awaiting death! "Watch me kill them! I'll take you away."

Ye Chen said coldly.

The next moment, facing the overwhelming, storm-like attack, Ye Chen directly reached out and grabbed at the void.

Boom! Boom! In an instant, a white smoke flashed, and the demon sword Enma appeared directly in Ye Chen's hand, which he grasped firmly! Purple demonic energy uncontrollably overflowed from Enma's body. Ye Chen slowly raised Enma with his right hand, and Armament Haki spread along his arm to the sharp, white blade! In an instant, Enma turned as black as ink! Facing numerous attacks, Ye Chen gripped the sword with one hand and suddenly swung it out.

*Whoosh!* A black light, like the only darkness in a world of light! A black slash carrying domineering power instantly split the world in two! The sharp blade energy transformed into a straight line, suddenly cleaving the air in front of it.

It was as if endless black light was converging, causing the air to split.

With a single slash, the sky itself was cleaved open! Boom!!! The flames and rocks filling the sky, along with countless shurikens and kunai, all froze in mid-air in that instant.

A black slash swept past, like a ripple in the center of a lake, before exploding with a deafening roar! All the fire-style ninjutsu, earth-style ninjutsu, and countless kunai and shuriken were cleaved in two, collapsing instantly! One slash blocked all attacks! One slash cut open a path between life and death! All the Iwa ninja stopped in their tracks, halting their hand seals.

Their faces showed shock and horror as they stared intently ahead.

What kind of ninjutsu is that! There were no hand seals, and it was performed with a sword; it must be some kind of secret technique.

What a terrifying attack range! The slash from that blade blocked all attacks and shattered them completely.

The elite Iwa ninja, Jonin Iwato and Ishiki, were shocked! But this was far from over, especially since they were fighting inside the forest! The aftershocks of the black slashes continued to spread, injuring many Iwa ninja! Between the two sides, there were originally countless people as thick as a person's embrace.

But at this moment, they all shifted to the sides and were cut in half.

The giant tree broke, and the space suddenly opened up.

The range of this black slash was estimated to be over a kilometer! It also cleaved open a vast battleground! With a single, domineering strike, it severed all attacks. Its gaze was utterly indifferent, and the Yama in its hand gently fell, pointing diagonally at the ground, exuding an air of arrogance that seemed to say, "Who else but me?"

A true man is born into power; even when facing a vast army, he remains steadfast and invincible.

In Ye Chen's arms, Tsunade's expression was completely blank.

At first, upon hearing Ye Chen's words about killing all the enemies before taking her away, she was deeply moved.

She suddenly felt that Ye Chen had either gone mad or killed someone.

At the same time, she increasingly felt that Ye Chen's voice and aura were becoming more and more familiar.

Just as she was about to remember, Ye Chen's slash not only severed the rock ninja's attack, but also cut off the thoughts she had just recalled.

She was a little flustered. When did such a monstrously strong guy appear in Konoha's Anbu?! Even in her prime, with her superhuman strength, achieving this would be a stretch. But what she didn't know was that Ye Chen was no longer the Ye Chen of half a year ago. His strength had increased dramatically; he had undergone a complete transformation! Coupled with the sharpness of the Enma weapon and the unique nature of Ryuo Haki, it was enough to cut through anything! Without Enma, Ye Chen's strength would likely be significantly reduced! However, Ye Chen's power also gave Tsunade a glimmer of hope; perhaps she could escape unscathed.

She was certain that the Konoha Special Anbu in front of her was extremely strong, possibly even stronger than herself at her peak, or at least nearly as strong! There were probably more than thirty enemies, including at least two or three Jonin, as well as elite Jonin.

Looking at the man holding her, Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "Anbu, but it's a bit too much to expect one person to fight against a team of more than thirty Iwagakure ninjas."

Even if Sakumo Hatake were here, it probably wouldn't be easy for him.

Do not linger in battle; retreat as the opportunity arises!

Ye Chen nodded. Tsunade was right, but he still showed no intention of backing down and continued to calmly look ahead.

As he gently lifted Yama and placed it in front of him, Ye Chen spoke softly, "Actually, sometimes, no matter..."

Whether it's one person or thirty people (30), it makes no difference.

It's nothing more than... a matter of one stab!

Just like sweeping up trash, whether it's one piece or a pile, it's just a matter of one shovelful! If that doesn't work, then two shovelfuls will do! And these are all living experiences, resources for one's own path to becoming stronger! What calm expression, as if recounting something insignificant.

But his eyes were cold, revealing a chill that seemed to freeze the river.

The Iwa ninja had attacked Tsunade, which had already enraged him! "What 'you'? Don't do anything foolish!"
