Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 43 That Year I Had My Hands in My Pockets

"Are there any other people?"

Looking at the valley in the distance, Natsume said, "Something feels off; it looks too much like a trap."

"no."

Kabuto shook his head and said, "Perhaps my ninjutsu range is insufficient."

"Let me take a look."

Tsunade used her sensory ninjutsu, but still couldn't detect anyone. "Be careful, prepare for battle."

She knew there were many things that could block her senses, so she didn't let her guard down.

"Yes."

Natsume and the others said in unison.

Tsunade took the lead and headed towards the north side of the valley.

She's an arsenal from head to toe; there's no need for any preparation.

Silently, she secretly activated the poison needle mechanism on her right arm.

Kabuto reached into his satchel and picked up a few kunai.

Natsume's main skill is water jutsu, which is basically equivalent to a ranged magician; anyone can do it.

"There are signs of a battle."

Kabuto's gaze sharpened, and he gave a reminder.

Actually, he doesn't need to say it; everyone can tell.

Because the marks were particularly large.

"This is the Akimichi clan's multiplication technique."

Looking at the deep footprints several meters deep in front of her, Tsunade said, "Since there was a battle, it's suspicious that someone was left alive, but we're here to rescue people, and we can't turn back just because it's suspicious."

She looked up and saw a corpse not far away.

Most of them were dressed as Cloud Ninja, but there were also Konoha ninjas.

In the deepest part of the crater lay the ninja that Kabuto Yakushi had previously scouted.

It was Qiudao Si Dong.

He was covered in wounds, and when he saw Tsunade, his eyes showed terror, and he shook his head frantically.

"The surrounding area was full of traps."

Yakushi Kabuto glanced at him and immediately sensed danger.

That's why Akimichi Tsutomu gave them a look and told them to leave.

"It's probably more than just a trap."

Shizune looked around and said, "There should still be someone lying in ambush."

A very straightforward, overt scheme to lure the enemy.

Turn around and leave; there will be no danger.

But Natsume also knew that Tsunade wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.

More importantly, she had the ability to save them, and giving up because of danger is not in her nature.

"I'm going to rescue him. You all watch out for the enemy."

Tsunade slowly stepped forward.

Setting and dismantling traps is a required skill for ninjas.

Although she is a medical ninja, it doesn't mean that all she can do is save people.

The combined experience of Natsume and the other two is less than one-tenth of hers.

On the slope on the south side of the valley, twelve ninjas are playing the role of Voldemort.

There was also a faint barrier around them, concealing their presence.

"A woman and three little kids—why would Konoha send a ninja team to rescue her?"

A ninja wearing a Jonin vest said regretfully, "Lord Troy, it seems our strategy has not worked."

"Ryosuke, we've caught a big fish this time!"

Troy's face lit up with delight, and he asked, "You're young, it's normal that you haven't seen her before. Do you know who this woman is?"

"Who?"

Ryosuke immediately perked up and asked, "Could it be some important figure from Konoha Village?"

The other ninjas also looked on expectantly.

Akimichi Tsutomu is incredibly powerful; he severely injured him and paid a considerable price.

After recognizing him as one of the top fighters in the Akimichi clan, Troy decided to lure him out.

Konoha Village will definitely send people to rescue them.

"Tsunade."

After Troy uttered those two words, Ryosuke and the others immediately showed expressions of shock.

They had naturally heard of one of the legendary Sannin.

"Can we beat her?"

While overjoyed, Ryosuke was also worried.

"It's not a big problem."

Troy said confidently, "Looking at Tsunade's record, she's known for her medical ninjutsu. Her strength is indeed greater than that of an average Jonin, but we have four Jonin here, plus me, a Magnet Release ninja. Do you think she can escape alone?"

"Your insight is brilliant!"

Ryosuke flattered, "With your Magnet Release bloodline limit, you are equivalent to several Jonin, while Tsunade has never been heard of having any bloodline limit."

"As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin, the trap had no effect whatsoever."

Troy got up, picked up two huge, square shuriken, and said, "Since that's the case, it's our turn. We can let everyone else go, but we must capture Tsunade alive. If we bring her back, Lord Raikage will surely reward us handsomely."

Ryosuke and the others showed excited expressions.

That's Tsunade!

Besides the rewards, they will also become famous in the ninja world and may even get some kind of title.

For example, the Three Ninja Terminator.

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

A tremendous sound of wind arose.

Natsume looked up and saw a square shuriken about the same size as him.

It's so big, it'll die, won't it?

Without hesitation, he threw out six kunai with both hands.

Upon contact with the square shuriken, it seemed to lose control and immediately rebounded.

"Watch out! Something's fishy!"

After shouting those words, Kabuto threw out the shuriken he had prepared beforehand.

The densely packed swarms, like sparrows, knocked down the rebounding kunai, and then, with undiminished momentum, rushed towards the square shuriken.

But at the moment of impact, they also shuddered and then flew back in the opposite direction.

"This is Magnetism!"

Tsunade is treating Akimichi Tsukasa.

His injuries were too severe; if he delayed any longer, he would inevitably suffer irreversible long-term consequences.

It would be such a pity if a Jonin were to perish as a result.

She noticed the strange square shuriken and immediately recalled the information she had read before, saying, "It's Troy, the Magnet Release ninja from Kumogakure."

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

A wall made of water blocked Natsume's way.

The reflected shuriken were all blocked.

The massive, square-shaped shuriken sliced ​​through it with ease.

Natsume was prepared.

Behind the water wall is an earthen wall.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

Although Natsume mainly studied Wood Release and Water Release, he also learned a few Earth Release techniques.

After all, they are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

The square-shaped shuriken got stuck in the thick soil.

"The disciples of the Three Ninjas are not bad either."

As soon as the words were spoken, twelve figures surrounded the four of them.

With a casual gesture, Troy brought the square shuriken back into his hand.

This is precisely the effect of magnetic escape.

"You are already surrounded. Surrender and you will be spared much suffering."

Troy raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Even if you are one of the Legendary Sannin, you cannot escape."

Seeing his appearance, Natsume suddenly thought of a sentence.

That year, I had my hands in my pockets and didn't know what an opponent was.

But the bag is on our side.

Natsume glanced at Tsunade, whose treatment was still ongoing, bit his thumb, and pressed it to the ground.

Psychic Slug!

In an instant, the earth cracked open inch by inch, and amidst the dust and smoke, a colossal creature appeared.

The Cloud Ninja all showed expressions of horror.

Except for Troy.

He was naturally aware of Tsunade's summoning beasts.

However, slugs are not as powerful as toads and snakes, as their attack methods are very limited.

Troy's Magnet Release is a relatively rare bloodline limit that can deal with large creatures.

"Leave it to me, you guys hurry up and deal with Tsunade."

Troy bit a scroll, and then countless shuriken swarmed toward the slug like locusts.

What he needs to do is to restrict its movement for a short period of time.

Ryosuke and the others rushed toward Tsunade without hesitation.
