She looked at Ye Chen grilling fish and asked, "In my opinion, this knife of yours is definitely a rare divine weapon. It's such a waste to use it to grill fish."

If you were in front of Sakumo Hatake, given his love for swords, wouldn't he teach you a lesson?

Ye Chen shook his head and said calmly, "If a knife cannot be used by me, what use is it? Is it just an ornament? Although the Yama is a rare divine weapon, if it does not have a powerful master to kill enemies and make a name for itself in the world, then it is just an ordinary weapon."

Seemingly understanding human nature, Enma's blade trembled slightly! Perhaps it was displeased with what Ye Chen said! This master is so shameless, indirectly praising his own strength! Tsunade didn't expect Ye Chen to say that; it was truly a peculiar idea! It also showed that he was a very individualistic person! Just as she was about to say something, Ye Chen handed her the fish, saying, "It's ready, eat."

"So we can recover our strength and return as soon as possible."

Tsunade took the grilled fish, parted her lips slightly, and bit off a small piece. The crispy and fragrant fish meat made her taste buds tingle! Delicious, such delicious fish! Much better than the half-cooked vegetarian fish in Konoha! She couldn't help but eat a few more bites, until finally she disregarded her image and wolfed it down, even chewing up the fish bones.

The fish bones in grilled fish are naturally very crisp, and the aroma permeates to the bone, making it incredibly chewy and satisfying! Seeing Tsunade's fierce side... Ye Chen couldn't help but smile beneath his mask.

He quickly ate a few fish so that Tsunade wouldn't eat them all by herself.

Since I caught and grilled the fish myself, I should at least taste it.

After eating and drinking her fill, Tsunade felt almost fully recovered and full of energy.

He gently wiped his lips, his mind racing, and asked, "We've been through thick and thin together, so tell me your identity."

"According to the rules of Konoha's Anbu, Anbu members' identities cannot be revealed."

Ye Chen said.

"Don't be afraid. I know Hatake Sakumo well. The Third Hokage was my teacher, the Second Hokage was my uncle, and the First Hokage was my grandfather! I have the biggest connections in Konoha. With me protecting you, you don't need to be afraid."

Tsunade patted her bulging chest with conviction, assuring him! Looking at Tsunade's confident demeanor, Ye Chen couldn't help but find it amusing.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen slowly removed his mask and gave Tsunade a light smile.

Although the identity of an Anbu ninja must be kept secret, Tsunade's identity is extraordinary. As she said, she is not only the disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but also an elite member of Konoha. Moreover, she is the princess of the Senju clan and the granddaughter of the First Hokage. She is of impeccable lineage.

Seeing Ye Chen actually take off his mask, I was wondering about Ye Chen, but after actually seeing it, my mind went blank.

First came a moment of astonishment, then utter shock.

She stared in disbelief at the incredibly youthful face; although it had changed a lot, she still recognized it at a glance.

But she still couldn't quite believe it. If Ye Chen hadn't just saved her, she would have even suspected that the person in front of her was an enemy in disguise.

"Ye Chen!"

Tsunade spoke with some uncertainty.

Ye Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile, and said, "I am Ye Chen's older brother, Ye Lingyun."

I heard you helped Ye Chen a lot, teaching him superhuman strength. Thank you!

"It's really you!"

If Tsunade was still somewhat uncertain before, hearing Ye Chen's teasing words now, she was instantly 100% certain that the person in front of her was... Ye Chen! A carbon copy, the same aura and demeanor, even the tone of his voice was identical! Good heavens, was she dreaming or still hallucinating?! Ye Chen shrugged, not surprised that he couldn't recognize Tsunade at all; after all, Tsunade might be the Hokage's woman.

Moreover, he's one of the future Legendary Sannin, how could he be as naive and easily fooled as a woman! Tsunade, who was just feeling grateful to Ye Chen, suddenly showed a helpless expression, covered her forehead, and was conflicted.

Deep down, she still secretly hoped that beneath the Rakshasa mask lay a cool and handsome face! Perhaps one with a touch of...melancholy—after all, what girl doesn't dream of love! Ye Chen, carrying her, moved freely through the encirclement of Iwa ninja, taking down one person every ten steps, blood flowers blooming—the scene was so poignant and unforgettable! Tsunade felt her dream shattered! At the same time, she felt even more disbelief; that boy she had once thought was merely a gifted and like-minded individual.

In just over half a year, he caught up with her as if by leaps and bounds, and even seemed to have surpassed her! What kind of monstrous talent could allow him to do this! Because of the outbreak of war, Minato Namikaze, the First Hokage, Ino-Shika-Cho, and the other twelve members of the Konoha 2 clans had already graduated from the Ninja Academy.

However, they are only genin at the moment. Although Minato Namikaze is at least a chunin, he is of little use on the battlefield of World War II.

But Ye Chen is now arm-wrestling with Jonin; his power is even capable of tipping the scales of this war—that's how significant it is! Just look at this one instance: Ye Chen single-handedly swept through a force of over thirty elite Iwagakure soldiers. This shows that Ye Chen has become incredibly powerful on this battlefield! Are there any other ninjas who have achieved this level of prowess on this battlefield? Of course there are! Hatake Sakumo, Onoki, Hanzo of the Salamander—these are all Kage-level! "Thinking about it carefully, this brat definitely took advantage of me quite a bit along the way on purpose!"

After recovering from the shock, Tsunade did not change her attitude towards Ye Chen because of his change; she still gave him a disgruntled look.

In her eyes, Ye Chen will always be her younger brother, while she is the eldest sister, whose position is beyond question.

"Well done, Ye Chen, you've kept this from me for so long."

Tsunade said this deliberately.

Ye Chen took a step forward, reached out and held Tsunade's soft arm, and smiled, "Who told you not to recognize me, Lady Tsunade?"

Thump! Although she used almost no force, Tsunade still tapped Ye Chen on the forehead and said irritably, "Call me 'older sister'!"

"rustle!"

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bushes in the distance. Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he bent down and suddenly picked up Tsunade in his arms.

"etc...!"

Tsunade exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 87 The Temperamental Earth Shadow (Second Update)

　Tsunade was caught off guard and felt extremely embarrassed and annoyed when Ye Chen hugged her again! She had never felt this way before, being hugged by a boy younger than herself.

"Put me down quickly!"

Tsunade said.

Ye Chen and the other person were leaping back and forth in the forest at great speed. He said, "This is a battlefield full of dangers. We were exposed by the stream just now. I decided to leave with you immediately."

And that was indeed the case; he had just sensed ninjas approaching from the bushes.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's struggles lessened considerably.

However, she still secretly complained, "Why not just carry him on her back? Being hugged and held like this is too embarrassing!" The main reason is that Tsunade sees herself as an older sister, while Yoru is like a younger brother! Moreover, in some ways, Tsunade is also a strong-willed woman with a strong sense of self-reliance.

"Hmm, I'll find a safe place first."

Ye Chen looked at Tsunade, who was struggling in his arms, and his expression was... completely serious, without the slightest hint of anything unusual.

Tsunade, however, was completely bewildered; she couldn't possibly be fooled by Ye Chen's appearance.

Who knows if Ye Chen is already laughing his head off inside?

It's obvious that Ye Chen is... He's going to take advantage of her weakness and punish her severely. He's so cunning; how come I never noticed before?

"That kid really knows how to have fun!"

Tsunade felt helpless.

Holding Tsunade in his arms, Ye Chen didn't go very far; it was impossible for him to just run all the way back to Konoha's camp with her like that.

I doubt her body could handle it! Besides, a battle had just taken place in this forest, so hiding here would be the best option.

No one would have expected that even after the battle was over, some people would still be there.

Here are some hidden mountains, concealed by giant trees and entwined with vines, with sparse caves beneath them, hidden and unseen, making them excellent hiding places.

After finding a cave, Ye Chen put Tsunade down, ignoring her murderous gaze, and earnestly cleaned up the cave.

"By the way, use the Flame-Flame Fruit's power to raise the temperature of the cave and make it drier. A damp environment is bad for your health! "Rest here for a while. With your abilities, you should be able to heal your injuries once you recover some chakra."

Ye Chen looked at Tsunade with a calm expression.

Tsunade stared at Ye Chen for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything from his face. In the end, she could only snort and walk into the cave.

Although he was still injured and his chakra had not recovered much, his physical strength had almost fully recovered.

Ye Chen couldn't help but admire Tsunade's physique. Although it was far inferior to Hashirama Senju's, and even to her after developing the Hundred Healings Technique, her innate recovery ability was almost stronger than his! This was one of the fundamental reasons why Tsunade had been able to persevere until now.

Meanwhile, after another small team of Iwa ninja was wiped out, Iwagakure was completely destroyed.

In the Tsuchikage's office, there was Onoki Mitsu, who was still quite young at the time, about the same age as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He slammed a piece of intelligence onto the table.

"A bunch of trash!!"

Onoki's face showed annoyance. It was already a disgrace that the ambush on a small Konoha squad had failed and the enemy had escaped.

After several days of pursuit, reaching the heart of the Land of Rain, they still hadn't captured the person.

This enraged Onoki, who immediately dispatched Iwagakure ANBU ninjas to assist in the encirclement and killing of Konoha ninjas.

After learning of Tsunade's true identity, Onoki still took it very seriously.

Killing Tsunade must be very painful for Konoha! She was the Hokage's student and the granddaughter of the First Hokage; it could severely damage Konoha's morale.

However, this attempt to intercept them ultimately ended in failure.

The intelligence reports indicated that the battlefield was in complete disarray, and all the ninjas who went to hunt down Tsunade had been wiped out.

There was another small team wiped out before, meaning that the Iwa ninja have been wiped out twice.

Since the beginning of the war, we have lost approximately five Jonin of level 55, not to mention countless Chunin and Genin.

This loss truly made him want to vomit blood! The current Onoki is not... the one from the Fourth Shinobi World War... the spiritual leader among the Five Kage, upholding his ninja way and fighting against Uchiha Madara! The young Onoki cannot be said to be a bad person, because there is no right or wrong in war! Onoki's starting point was for the Land of Earth, just as Konoha was for the Land of Fire, only their positions were different.

However, compared to others, the younger Onoki was more extreme! The Second Shinobi World War can be said to have been... started by Onoki alone, then the Sand Village joined in, followed by the Land of Fire, and later the Land of Lightning! Onoki turned around angrily and paced back and forth in the Tsuchikage's office.

However, after taking a few steps, Onoki picked up the intelligence report again, and after reading it once more, he immediately frowned.

Wait a minute, where would Konoha get their elite troops in the heart of the Land of Rain? How could elite troops possibly be in enemy territory? Do they really think the guards in the enemy's heartland are just for show? The current Hanzo is definitely a ruthless and cunning maneuvering between the three major apologies.

Although the Land of Rain is weak, the strength of the Rain Ninja should not be underestimated.

If there really is an elite force, what are the Rain Ninja scouts doing? Don't they have any intelligence at all? "Something's wrong!"

Onoki frowned, sensing that the annihilation of the Iwa ninja was not so simple, and then gave the order: "Tell me the details of the battlefield!"

Soon, a ninja came in and reported to Onoki.

Onoki frowned more and more as he listened, saying, "This might not be an elite unit at all; it could just be a few people, or even just one person!"
