Chapter 89 Xia Mu's Ultimate Move: Chiyo's Son and Daughter-in-Law Arrested (First and Second Updates)

The land of rain.

Tsunade and her three companions walked through the rain.

It has been half a month since they met with Sakumo Hatake.

Although Tsunade said she wanted to lure Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law out, she couldn't make it too obvious.

After some discussion, the final decision was to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

Tsunade and the others carried out their mission as usual until they accidentally got separated from the group and were located by Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

How so?

Tsunade and the others wanted to kill them, and they also wanted to kill Tsunade and the others.

After all, this is a battlefield, and everyone wants to make a name for themselves, especially the puppeteers of Sunagakure.

Especially since they are the ace unit of Sunagakure.

After two months of entanglement with Sakumo Hatake without any progress, they were the ones who were getting anxious.

If we can kill Tsunade and send the message back, it will be a great achievement.

"Get ready."

Xia Mu suddenly spoke up.

"You've spotted the enemy?"

Rope Tree's spirits lifted, and he asked.

"This enemy is no ordinary one; they've discovered Black Feather."

Xia Mu explained, "Luckily, Kuroba canceled the summoning technique on his own first, otherwise I would have lost this summoning beast."

He would summon Black Feather before each mission.

As a crow, Kuroba can fly, and the Rain Country is gloomy due to the constant rain, which allows him to easily conceal his presence.

The ninja cat Shirayuki and the ninja dog Kurohana are not so useful in the rain.

However, the Ninja Eagle Blue Sky is too large and is easily spotted.

Blackwing is the most suitable bird for reconnaissance missions.

"Being able to accurately spot your black feathers in the rain might just be what we've been waiting for."

Tsunade said as she walked normally.

"Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law!"

Rope Tree immediately said.

"Once it's confirmed to be them, Natsuki will use Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique, and then have your summoning beast notify Sakumo."

Tsunade instructed, "We should try our best to hold them off; if we can capture them, that would be best."

"Yes, Tsunade-sensei."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"Will your method work?"

Rope Tree asked curiously, "What if, in the end, we—oh dear!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade flicked his forehead hard.

"Don't worry, it will definitely work."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "I wouldn't joke about our lives."

The four walked for a while longer, and soon strange noises began to echo around them.

"Watch out, it's a puppet!"

Tsunade immediately reminded her.

Xia Mu looked up and, with the help of his clairvoyance, saw a row of puppets dressed in black robes.

They are very fast, and have sharp blades on both arms.

"Watch me!"

After finishing speaking, Rope Tree formed a hand seal.

Water gushed out, stirring up the omnipresent rainwater, and in the blink of an eye, a wall of water rose up around them.

The next second, the puppets rushed forward.

The wall of water trembled violently, and several cuts appeared under the attack of the sharp blades.

At the same time, Xia Mu had already used Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique.

The moment the water wall shattered, mist spread wildly in all directions.

Xia Mu then used a spirit summoning technique to summon the crow Black Feather, allowing it to escape in the chaos.

"It's actually Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique?"

A young ninja wearing a Sunagakure headband gave the order, "Use Wind Release."

He was Chiyo's son.

Behind him, a puppeteer paused controlling the puppet, formed hand seals, and unleashed a terrifying gust of wind.

Where the strong wind passed, the fog dissipated completely.

"One person is missing, everyone please be careful!"

The young ninja frowned when he discovered that Natsuki had disappeared.

The other three puppeteers looked around as they manipulated their puppets toward Tsunade, Nawaki, and Yakushi Nonou.

"Four Jonin, they really went all out."

Tsunade gave a cold laugh and said.

"This is out of respect for Princess Tsunade."

The young ninja replied calmly.

If it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of Sakumo Hatake and the others, there would have been more than just four Jonin.

However, in his opinion, four Jonin were enough to take down Tsunade.

Putting aside her medical ninjutsu, Tsunade's strength is only that of an elite Jonin.

Her three students, though somewhat famous, are at best Chunin level, considering their age.

Moreover, they not only have four Jonin, but also a large number of puppets.

The puppets they control are at least Chunin level.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

A puppet was the first to reach Tsunade.

Strange power!

Tsunade clenched her fist and struck the ninja sword it swung.

A terrifying power spread instantly.

The puppet, along with its ninja sword, was sent flying backwards.

"Princess Tsunade truly lives up to her reputation."

A pretty young female ninja from Sunagakure spoke up.

She is Chiyo's daughter-in-law, and ranks among the top five puppeteers in Sunagakure.

"The two of us will take care of her."

The young ninja instructed, "You two take care of her students."

Nawaki snorted coldly and took out his greatsword, Samehada.

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Rainwater swirled around the greatsword Samehada.

The heavy, massive sword Samehada crashed into the puppet before it like a giant dragon.

With a loud bang!

The black robe was torn, and a huge hole was smashed into the chest of the puppet inside.

But the next second, the puppet raised its arms and sent out a dense swarm of senbon needles.

Nawaki's pupils contracted, but fortunately, the Greatsword Samehada was large enough.

He simply held it in front of him, sending all the books flying.

"The puppet is covered in weapons; don't let your guard down until the very last moment."

Upon seeing this, Tsunade immediately gave instructions.

Rope Tree nodded in agreement.

That was indeed dangerous.

"Princess Tsunade, it's been so long, and your other student still hasn't shown up. Has he already run away?"

'

The young ninja frowned and asked.

He sensed something was wrong.

As a Jonin, he hadn't noticed any trace of Natsuki.

"you guess."

As Tsunade spoke, she kicked out again.

The young female ninja waved her hands, and her puppet dodged her kick.

As it tried to dodge, the puppet opened its mouth.

Its tongue is not a tongue, but a syringe.

Three poisoned needles flew toward Tsunade.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to the left, thus avoiding the three poison needles.

The young female ninja was not discouraged and continued to move her ten fingers.

Her puppet began to spin, its body splitting open and revealing sharp blades.

Six or seven sharp blades spun, turning her puppet into a deadly weapon.

"Then I'll kill you to force him out!"

The young ninja flicked his hands.

A puppet followed closely behind, rushing towards Tsunade.

Just as Tsunade dodged the young female ninja's puppet, his puppet raised its hands and spewed out two streams of flame.

The air was thick with the heat of the air.

Tsunade felt the heat wave rushing towards her.

She didn't have time to dodge, so she clenched her fist and punched it out.

A surge of immense chakra erupted from her fist, and combined with her terrifying power, shattered the two flames into pieces.

The young ninja knew that such an attack would not work.

His puppet shuddered, and this time it spewed out a large amount of mist.

The young female ninja's puppet continued to pursue Tsunade, its sharp blades spinning as if to slice her into pieces.

Meanwhile, the other two puppeteers were not idle either.

A puppeteer's puppet was half destroyed by the Greatsword Samehada, so he immediately replaced it with a new puppet.

The new puppet was not humanoid; it resembled a pangolin.

It crawled on all fours, a sharp blade on its head, and crashed into the rope tree.

A puppeteer, controlling a humanoid puppet with both hands, slashed at Yakushi Nono with a sword.

"let me!"

Nawaki spoke to Yakushi Nonou, then gripped the greatsword Samehada and stood in front of her.

Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!

The nearby rainwater, drawn by the water-style chakra, swirled rapidly around him.

The next second, Nawaki swung his greatsword Samehada from multiple directions simultaneously.

The two puppets paused and stopped in their tracks.

"Water Release techniques are greatly enhanced in the Land of Rain."

The two puppeteers pondered their actions but did not slow down.

Chakra was transmitted to the puppet through the threads.

The pangolin puppet suddenly increased its strength, pushing the rope tree and the greatsword Samehada back.

The humanoid puppet leaped up, its wrists opened, and two long spears pierced towards the rope tree.

Rope Tree felt a numbness run through his body and was unable to react.

He was ultimately not a Jonin.

Fortunately, Tsunade kept an eye on him.

Ignoring the fog, she leaped up and kicked the young female ninja's puppet.

The puppet's head exploded instantly, and its spinning body stopped.

Tsunade used a Body Flicker Technique to create distance, then grabbed Nawaki and retreated.

The two spears, their momentum undiminished, followed.

Tsunade suddenly flicked her free left hand, and a large number of shuriken rushed forward.

A piercing sound rang out.

Although the two spears were not deflected, they were deflected and the threat was immediately eliminated.

Just then, the pangolin puppet's head split open, and a row of poison darts flew out, covering Tsunade and the other two.

"Rope Tree!"

Tsunade immediately reminded her.

Nawaki steadied himself, grabbed the Greatsword Samehada, and hurled it.

Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!

All the poisoned darts were splashed in all directions by the impact of the water flow.

"They're really troublesome."

The young ninja immediately threw out a summoning scroll.

The scroll opened, and another puppet appeared in front of him.

The young ninja controlled two puppets, charging towards Tsunade from the left and right.

As they got closer, the two puppets suddenly stretched out another pair of arms.

The two puppets, each with eight arms, wielded eight ninja swords and swung them out.

In an instant, the clash of swords and the shadows of spears swept forth.

Tsunade frowned slightly, grabbed Nawaki's greatsword Samehada, and hurled it.

She wielded the greatsword Samehada like a meteor hammer, making it dance with great speed and grace.

Rope Tree twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn't stop there. He immediately formed a hand seal.

Water Escape·Water Rush Wave!

The massive amount of water-style chakra, combined with the omnipresent rainwater, formed a waterfall resembling a tornado.

The young ninja suddenly seemed outmatched.

The other three puppeteers quickly manipulated the puppeteers to rescue him.

For a moment, the scene appeared quite chaotic.

"retreat!"

A sudden sound rang out.

It's Xia Mu.

Without hesitation, Tsunade swung her greatsword, Samehada.

Many puppets were forced back by her terrifying power.

She then grabbed Nawaki and Yakushi Nonou and backed away.

"Over there!"

The young ninja immediately looked at Natsuki.

He had been worried that Xia Mu would cause trouble, but now he has finally shown up.

The other three puppeteers also looked at Xia Mu.

But it wasn't just one summer tree, it was twenty summer trees.

This is the technique of multiple shadow clones.

The four puppeteers couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Could it be because they saw that they had multiple puppets, so they used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?

But if you create twenty shadow clones, what fighting power will you have left?

Just then, they saw all twenty Xia Mu raise their hands simultaneously.

Countless Kurosawa swords, Thor's Sword, blunt sword Helmslayer, and long sword Sewing Needle were thrown out simultaneously.

There were so many that they covered the entire sky.

"defense!"

The young ninja's pupils contracted, and he waved his hands, shouting urgently.

Six puppets appeared in front of him.

The puppet's body trembled, revealing countless sharp blades, and then it began to spin.

All the swords and knives that attacked him were knocked away.

The other three puppeteers did similar things.

They all brought out more puppets.

Their strength can be seen from the number of puppets they have.

The young ninja can control six puppets simultaneously, making him the strongest.

His wife, however, was slightly less capable, able to control only five.

However, the remaining two puppeteers can only control a maximum of three.

A constant barrage of metallic clanging sounds rang out.

"It's truly spectacular."

Rope Tree couldn't help but sigh.

"That's true."

Tsunade nodded and said.

When Xia Mu told her about it before, she was still skeptical.

But after seeing so many swords, she was shocked to realize that Natsuki's chakra reserves far exceeded those of an average Jonin.

She felt a sense of anticipation just thinking about what would happen next.

Tsunade's confidence in holding out until Sakumo Hatake arrived to rescue her was largely due to her trust in Natsuki.

"Where did he get so many swords?"

The young ninja frowned and asked.

Xia Mu's projection magic now produces swords that are comparable to the originals.

Even if they were simply thrown out, the sheer number of them was overwhelming for them.

Fortunately, all four of them were Jonin, and they also had seventeen puppets.

The dense sounds gradually thinned out.

Xia Mu had already thrown out all the projected swords and blades.

He casually dismissed the nineteen shadow clones, then calmly looked at the four puppeteers.

Now, they were surrounded by a dense array of swords and knives.

Although Natsuki had already exhausted most of his chakra, he remained completely calm.

"It's time to end this, kid!"

The young ninja took a breath and immediately began to control the six puppets.

The other three puppeteers turned to Tsunade, Nawaki, and Yakushi Nonou.

But just as they took their first step, an unimaginable sense of crisis arose in their hearts.

They instinctively stiffened.

Then they saw Xia Mu raise his hand and snap his fingers.

The four people immediately felt puzzled.

But then they all looked horrified.

The swords and blades around them trembled violently.

They were torn apart like balloons, and chakra currents carrying countless fragments rushed towards them.

The nearest puppeteer didn't have time to react before it instantly shattered.

Fragments pierced his body, his expression contorted in agony, before he dissolved into a cloud of blood mist.

Another puppeteer instinctively manipulated his three puppets to block his way.

But it still didn't work.

The three puppets instantly fell apart and were torn to pieces.

He opened his mouth, and then he was plunged into eternal darkness.

"Damn it!"

The remaining two puppeteers were Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

In the face of life-or-death crisis, they unleashed their full power.

Two humanoid puppets enveloped them.

The remaining puppets revealed all their weapons around them.

Thousands of sticks, poisoned darts, and sharp blades flew out.

The ear-piercing collision resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"That's...that's terrifying!"

Rope Tree stared in disbelief.

Yakushi Nonou gaped, too shocked to say anything.

"This power is comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu."

Tsunade took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

The only problem is that the preparation time is too long and it consumes a lot of chakra.

It requires projecting a large number of swords and blades, and then combining them with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to use.

Tsunade was unaware of Unlimited Blade Works.

If she knew about the existence of Unlimited Blade Works, she would realize that what she was seeing was a weakened version of Unlimited Blade Works.

If Natsuki unlocks Unlimited Blade Works, he will no longer need to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and therefore will not need to prepare so many swords in advance.

Of course, Unlimited Blade Works consumes more chakra.

After an unknown amount of time, the explosions stopped.

The rain started falling again.

The site is no longer flat; it is full of potholes and uneven surfaces.

The two puppeteers in the scene were in even worse shape.

The puppets around them had already disintegrated in the explosion.

The two puppets on the outside of their bodies could barely hold on.

Although it didn't fall apart, it became dilapidated.

A large amount of fresh blood seeped out.

However, the two puppeteers still did not die.

Just then, the sound of wind breaking rang out.

Sakumo Hatake and the others finally arrived.

They instinctively surrounded the two puppeteers, and then all showed expressions of shock.

What kind of terrible battle took place in this dilapidated place?

"Arrest them."

Tsunade spoke up, "They are Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law; their lives have more value."

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

This is different from the ending in the original work where they were killed by Sakumo Hatake.

However, Tsunade's words also make a lot of sense; living is more valuable.

Both puppeteers were seriously injured.

Although he tried to resist, he was easily knocked unconscious by the ninjas of Konoha.

"Tsunade, I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect to come here to clean up the mess."

Sakumo Hatake asked curiously, "How did you manage that?"

Although Xia Mu had said he had a way to stall for time, he didn't explain the specifics.

The reason given was that it would be easily detected by the puppeteer unit of Sunagakure.

"It's a ninjutsu that Natsuki created himself."

Tsunade smiled slightly and said.

"I see."

Sakumo Hatake looked at Natsuki and said, "As expected, his reputation is well-deserved."

As for what ninjutsu he had created, he didn't ask any further questions.

He understands the rules very well.

But with such great power, it's probably an S-rank ninjutsu.

Considering Xia Mu's age, he could only admire him.
