Chapter 109 Rasa and Yekura Fall into a Trap (First and Second Updates)

The next day arrived.

After getting up, Xia Mu went out of the tent.

Last night's battle ended, and so did their first shift's mission.

Of course, in order to confuse Sunagakure, proper defenses are essential.

But that was a mission for another ninja squad.

The first shift received a day off as a reward.

However, the vacation wasn't a real vacation; Natsuki had other things to do.

Maruboshi Kosuke, Nawaki, and Yakushi Nonou stayed behind to practice his shaving technique.

After breakfast, Natsuki went into Tsunade's tent.

But at this moment, there were quite a few ninjas standing in her private tent where she was resting.

They are all medical ninjas.

the reason is simple.

Before tonight's decisive battle, they need to put on a show.

"Natsuki."

Upon seeing him, Tsunade said, "Give them the antidote for the curse."

Xia Mu nodded.

He took out a stack of spirit storage scrolls and gave one to each of them.

"Do as I just said."

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Anyone who dares to disobey orders will not be spared!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade!"

Everyone was startled and quickly responded.

"I will send my secret agents to protect you."

Tsunade added.

Protection is one aspect, surveillance is another.

While the possibility of spies infiltrating medical ninjas is small, it's not impossible.

Tsunade cannot allow any accidents to happen, as victory in this war is at stake.

After bowing slightly, everyone turned and left, leaving only Xia Mu behind.

"You've worked hard these past two days. Once this war is over, you can take a break."

With no outsiders around, Tsunade relaxed.

"Shouldn't we go and help the teachers?"

Xia Mu asked with some confusion.

"Of course we should provide support."

Tsunade's lips curled up. "But the antidote for the curse isn't just for Hanzo's poison; we must make it work to its fullest potential."

"Tsunade-sensei, do you mean to use the antidote to defeat Hanzo and eliminate Amegakure once and for all?"

Xia Mu asked thoughtfully.

"I was right when I praised you for being able to think from the Hokage's perspective at such a young age."

Tsunade said with a smile, "It's not just me, Sensei and Orochimaru probably think the same way."

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

It's understandable that Tsunade and the others would have this idea.

After all, it goes without saying which is more valuable: curing Hanzo's poison or killing Hanzo.

Xia Mu then thought of another question.

In the original work, Hanzo did not die in the Second Shinobi World War; he ultimately became the key to the Akatsuki's transformation.

It was his kidnapping of Konan and killing of Yahiko that caused Nagato to turn to the dark side, and the Akatsuki organization was heading towards becoming the ultimate villain.

What would happen to the Akatsuki if Hanzo had died earlier?

But Natsuki is certain that Nagato must turn to the dark side.

Because Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, operating in the shadows, will facilitate this outcome.

Natsuki has every reason to suspect that they killed Nagato's parents, and that Hanzo's ability to kidnap Konan might also be due to their betrayal.

If that's the case, whether Hanzo lives or dies won't change Nagato's fate.

Xia Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

There's no need to look back and forth.

Killing Hanzo would be more beneficial for him.

The stronger he becomes, the more qualified he will be to fight against Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu in the future.

"What do you think is the best way to defeat Hanzo using the antidote for the curse?"

Tsunade stretched and lay down on the carpet, casually asking a question.

"First, we absolutely cannot let Hanzo know about the existence of the antidote for the curse."

Natsuki looked at Tsunade lying on the carpet and spoke slowly.

"Um."

Tsunade, like a salted fish, asked lazily, "And second?"

"It should only be used at the most critical moment of the war."

Xia Mu then sat down on the carpet.

He looked over and could see the taut, tilted clothes.

Xia Mu thought of the battle between Hanzo and Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru in the original work.

If they had had the antidote to the curse back then, they could most likely have turned the tide of the battle and defeated Hanzo.

"Very smart."

Tsunade looked at the top of the tent and said, "At least for now, it's not the most crucial moment yet."

"With the teacher's abilities, he can definitely make a judgment."

Natsuki expressed his trust in Orochimaru.

Regardless of whether he turned evil or not, his abilities are beyond question.

"He really can do it."

Tsunade agreed.

That's why she said earlier that Xia Mu and the others would have time to rest.

Of course, this is all predicated on winning the war against Sunagakure.

"Go ahead and get busy."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I have to hide for now and pretend to be working on breaking Chiyo's poison."

"Okay, Tsunade-sensei."

Xia Mu stood up, looked away, and left the tent.

sunset.

A peaceful day came to an end.

The ninjas at Konoha Village's headquarters began their dinner.

Just as they were eating, Xia Mu heard a commotion coming from outside the tent.

"Everyone stop eating!"

Soon, ANBU ninjas quickly spread the news throughout Konoha Village's headquarters.

"That old woman's poison is truly terrifying!"

Rope Tree was now pale and pressed his hands against his abdomen.

Fortunately, the poison had been diluted.

With his extensive experience, Kosuke Maruhoshi immediately assessed the situation and said, "We can probably hold out for another hour."

Pharmacist Nonou also developed symptoms, but she just silently endured them without saying a word.

"Remember our mission."

Xia Mu put down the lunchbox and said.

Maruhoshi Kosuke, Nawaki, and the others nodded.

"Lady Tsunade has ordered all Jonin to immediately convene a meeting at the main tent!"

A moment later, an ANBU ninja entered and said in a grave tone, "The poisoned ninja must proceed to the medical tent immediately!"

"We've all been poisoned."

Xia Mu struggled to his feet and said, "Let's go to the medical tent now."

The so-called medical tents are where medical ninjas treat the wounded.

The four people helped each other all the way to the medical tent.

However, the medical tents were already overcrowded, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

In order to mislead the Sand Village, Tsunade did not tell anyone except a few people about the antidote for the curse.

The poisoned ninjas weren't stupid.

The only person who could poison them silently was Chiyo from Sunagakure.

With so many ninjas poisoned now, how will they defend themselves if the Sand Village attacks?

It was precisely because of this collective emergence of such thoughts that the ninjas in the medical tent were in a very low mood.

"Let's find a place to sit down."

Xia Mu glanced around and said.

Rope Tree and the others nodded with somber expressions.

They're all acting.

Among them, Kosuke Maruboshi's acting was the best, with no flaws to be seen.

Fortunately, the medical tents were packed with people, so there was no time to study the acting skills of Rope Tree and the others.

All the medical ninjas are already busy.

Not long after, Sakumo Hatake, who had gone to a meeting, appeared before them.

There were quite a few Jonin with him.

"We will escort the ninjas who are severely poisoned to another base camp."

Sakumo Hatake shouted loudly.

These words caused even more worry among the ninjas inside and outside the medical tent.

The other main base was the one where Orochimaru and his group were located.

Clearly, too many people have been poisoned, and Tsunade has decided to relocate them.

"Natsuki."

Sakumo Hatake walked up to him and said in a low voice, "I'll lead a group of men to circle around to the rear of the Sunagakure villagers and encircle them from both sides."

That was his real purpose.

Escorting the heavily poisoned ninja was just an excuse.

"Leave the rest to me."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

Without saying much, Hatake Sakumo began organizing the retreat of the ninjas who were severely poisoned.

Meanwhile, Tsunade arrived at the Konoha Village headquarters with some unpoisoned ninjas to defend it.

But secretly, she arranged for a group of earth-style ninjas to bury explosive tags underground.

The wind howled.

Rasa leaped down from the sky and entered the Sunagakure headquarters at top speed.

"How is the situation?"

Chiyo, who had been waiting, couldn't wait to ask him anything after seeing him.

"We did it!"

Rasa exclaimed excitedly, "At least half of Konoha's ninjas have been poisoned!"

"Where's Tsunade?"

Chiyo felt somewhat relieved and suppressed her excitement before asking again.

"She personally led a group to guard the entrance to the Konoha Village headquarters, and Sakumo Hatake was transferring the wounded."

Rasa paused for a moment, then said expectantly, "Lady Chiyo, I suggest we launch a full-scale attack immediately!"

"We can't let them escape! You and Pakura, attack Konoha's headquarters immediately!"

Chiyo no longer hesitated and gave the order.

Even during the daytime, most of the Sand Village ninjas were quietly approaching the Konoha Village headquarters.

At full speed, they could reach Konoha Village's headquarters very quickly.

"Yes, Chiyo-sama!"

Luo Sha turned and left.

After leaving the tent, he immediately formed a mudra with his hands.

Magnet Release: Sand Pad!

The ground shook, and a large amount of sand formed the shape of a cloud in front of him.

He stepped on it, and transformed into a streak of yellow light, flying into the air.

Upon arriving at the location of the main force of Sunagakure, he immediately landed on the ground.

"Yakura, prepare for a full-scale attack!"

Luo Sha got straight to the point.

Yecang was shocked, knowing that Chiyo's poisoning plan had succeeded.

She nodded and immediately relayed the order.

Moments later, more than four thousand Sunagakure ninjas headed toward Konoha's main camp at top speed.

Such a commotion was naturally discovered very quickly by the Hyuga clan ninjas.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Hyuga Hizashi immediately reported, "The Sunagakure ninja will arrive in three minutes!"

"Xiang, notify the medical ninjas to begin the detoxification process."

"Tsunade gave the order."

An ANBU ninja named Elephant nodded and disappeared from the spot.

"It's a pity Chiyo didn't come."

Hyuga Hizashi said with a regretful expression.

"It's normal that Chiyo didn't come; she needs to guard the Sunagakure headquarters."

Nara Shikasuke began, "Furthermore, under normal circumstances, over four thousand Sunagakure ninja could easily subdue us after we've been poisoned."

"It's better that she didn't come. If Sunagakure had sent out all its forces, they would have had a thousand more people than us."

Tsunade looked into the distance and explained, "Even if we have the advantage because of the antidote, defeating them will still come at a considerable cost."

"I see."

Hyuga Hizashi immediately said, "It was my oversight."

"It's nothing."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Rasa and Pakura are no less valuable than Chiyo."

Both of them are the future of Sunagakure, and both possess bloodline limits.

With the addition of Reki, Chiyo's son, who is currently imprisoned in Konoha, the best of the younger generation in Sunagakure might be wiped out in one fell swoop.

It will be there in the blink of an eye.

Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions rang out.

This is because a trap set near the Konoha Village headquarters has been triggered.

"Prepare for defense!"

Tsunade shouted loudly.

Although there were many traps near the Konoha Village headquarters, they were no match for the large force of Sunagakure ninjas.

In less than ten seconds, all the traps were destroyed.

Rasa, Yekura, and the others came into view of the people of Konoha.

Under the cover of night, the sight of the seemingly endless Sunagakure ninja caused many in Konoha to change their expressions and become grave.

After all, they still don't know the truth about this war.

From their perspective, most of the ninjas in Konoha were poisoned, and Sunagakure launched a full-scale attack, putting them at a complete disadvantage.

"attack!"

Luo Sha shouted loudly.

The sky was immediately filled with colorful ninjutsu.

Invisible wind blades, scorching flames, and a torrential downpour of ninja tools rained down.

What was supposed to be nighttime is now completely illuminated, with chakra energy flowing everywhere.

The ninjas of Konoha Village also prepared their defenses in time.

In an instant, a variety of defensive ninjutsu were unleashed.

But their numbers were ultimately too small, barely reaching a thousand.

The clash of ninjutsu produced a piercing sound.

Countless chakra currents raged through the air like a violent storm.

Most of the Konoha ninjas wore expressions of despair.

Because the defensive ninjutsu they were using was already in grave danger.

The ninjutsu used by the Sunagakure ninjas were mixed together, like a wave that threatened to engulf them.

"Everyone back off!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, feigning helplessness, and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, the Konoha ninjas began to unleash ninjutsu while retreating.

"Hmph, where can they retreat to?"

Seeing this, Luo Sha's face was full of smugness.

In the very first round of combat, Sunagakure gained an absolute advantage.

Currently, Konoha Village can only muster about a thousand combat-ready ninjas.

With four thousand against one thousand, Sunagakure has absolutely no chance of losing.

Most of the ninjas in Konoha were in the medical tents.

Although Sakumo Hatake had already begun the relocation, the time was ultimately too short, and it would be good enough if he could take a few hundred people with him.

This means that Tsunade has little room left to retreat.

She couldn't just leave the Konoha ninjas with their medical tents unattended.

The only thing they could do was fight to the death, buy time, and allow Hatake Sakumo to relocate as much as possible.

What he didn't know was that the people inside the medical tents of Konoha Village had suddenly become very excited, a far cry from their previous lifelessness.

With the help of the medical ninjas, they have been cured of the poison.

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

Xia Mu shouted, "As soon as the explosive tag trap goes off, we'll immediately go to provide support."

Now that the plan has succeeded, it's natural that they won't just lure Luo Sha and Ye Cang into the scene.

The explosive tag traps were a gift to the ninjas of Sunagakure.

Tsunade used all the explosive tags she brought with her, and even Natsuki contributed quite a few.

In just a moment, Tsunade led everyone to retreat to the center of Konoha Village's main camp.

We were now not far from the medical tent.

Luo Sha waved his hand.

The people of Sunagakure excitedly rushed into Konoha's headquarters.

At that moment, many Sand Village Jonin's expressions changed drastically, because they smelled a familiar scent.

The next second, all the explosive tags buried underground exploded.

Flames shot into the sky, like a plume of smoke rising straight up into the clouds.

A gigantic firework exploded on the ground, its flames dancing wildly in all directions like a fire dragon.

The Sand Village ninjas at the epicenter of the explosion were instantly killed.

Blood splattered, only to be instantly evaporated by the omnipresent heat.

The Sunagakure ninjas, who were a little further away, were engulfed by the aftershocks of the explosion and screamed in agony.

"No!"

When Rasa saw this hellish scene, his eyes widened in horror.

Yekura was so frightened that she took a step back.

Even if she were stupid, she would realize at that moment that it was a trap.

"Hurry up!"

Ye Cang realized what was happening and quickly called out.

"No!"

Luo Sha gritted his teeth and said, "We must save them!"

At this point, there were over a thousand Sunagakure ninja within the blast radius of the explosive tags.

He would abandon them and run away.

Not only will his conscience bother him, but he will also lose his position as the Wind Shadow.

For now, the only option is to save a portion of the victims before retreating.

Magnetism Release: Golden Sand Waves!

Luo Sha raised his hands.

The ground trembled violently, and countless gold dusts surged forth, crashing into the flames like ocean waves.

Wherever it passed, the flames were quickly extinguished.

"Magnetic Release is indeed powerful."

Nara Shikasuke couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Even the most capable have fallen into our trap!"

Hyuga Hizashi said excitedly.

"attack!"

Tsunade glanced at Natsuki and the others who were rushing towards them from not far away, and immediately shouted.

After the explosion of the detonator, the numbers on both sides were reversed.

Konoha Village, on the contrary, had the advantage in numbers.

In addition, there are many ninjas in Sunagakure who have been injured by explosive tag traps.

Although they didn't die, their strength will definitely be affected.

Hand in hand.

The ninjas from Konoha and Sunagakure clashed.

Shadow Assassin!

Xia Mu disappeared from the spot.

Such a chaotic battlefield is a perfect opportunity for him to unlock character template abilities.

He quickly appeared behind a special Jonin from Sunagakure.

He was completely unaware that a shadow had appeared behind him while he was engaged in battle with the ninjas of Konoha.

Breath of Water - Second Form - Waterwheel!

Xia Mu dispelled the Shadow Assassin, leaped into the air, and spun around.

The water flowed around him, rotating like a waterwheel.

The Black Swirl in his hand, carrying a stream of water and a flash of light, easily severed the head of the Sand Village's special Jonin.

The Konoha ninja were momentarily stunned.

Fortunately, he recognized Xia Mu, nodded to him, and then threw himself back into the battle.

Natsuki withdrew his gaze and continued to ambush the next Sand Village Special Jonin.

[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked Nami's template ability three: Master Thief.]

After he silently took down three special Jonin from Sunagakure, a system notification appeared before his eyes.

Xia Mu glanced around, then looked around to search for his next target.

He plans to unlock Nami's template ability five: Weather Technique.

It's already two-thirds complete; all that's left is to defeat a Lightning Release Jonin and a Water Release Jonin.
