Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

The next second, in Onoki's despairing gaze, Tsunade rushed in front of him and punched him through his body.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, has been killed in action!

243. The New God of Ninjas

Mid-air.

Onoki was punched through the body by Tsunade. As Tsunade withdrew her arm, the Third Tsuchikage, with an incredulous expression on his face, his eyes quickly darkened, and he plummeted straight to the ground.

By this point, on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tsunade had defeated, killed, or sealed away the Hokage Jiraiya, the Fourth Raikage, the Second Tsuchikage, the Third Raikage, the First and Second Hokage, the Amegakure Nagato, and the Tsuchikage Onoki.

All seven Kage were defeated by her; no one could rival her.

Tsunade stood on a branch of a large tree, looking down at the Allied Shinobi Forces on the ground with a cold gaze, and said loudly to them: "Invaders will pay the price. That price is the lives of all 50,000 of you."

Upon hearing this, the crowd on the ground immediately fell into great panic and chaos, and a small part of the coalition forces even fled first.

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll fight this woman to the death! She might be at her last gasp and just trying to scare us."

"That's right, we have 50,000 men. Do you think we can be scared away by a woman? Let's all charge forward and exhaust her to death!"

"..."

After most of the Allied Shinobi Forces managed to calm down, they shouted encouragement to each other. They all felt that Tsunade had been through several battles and her chakra must be severely depleted. They believed that if they used sheer numbers, they could definitely kill her.

However, Tsunade quickly shattered the hopes and illusions in these people's hearts.

"Living slug, let these ignorant people see your true power."

Tsunade looked at the clamoring crowd on the ground and murmured to herself. As soon as she finished speaking, she spread her arms and leaped like a bird, falling towards the ground.

During this process, a dazzling light shone from her lower abdomen, the seal used to seal the live slug was opened, and endless chakra surged out from within, covering her entire body...

The strongest ability of a Jinchuriki is called "Complete Tailed Beast Transformation," which refers to the Jinchuriki completely transforming into the form of a Tailed Beast to unleash its full power.

At this moment, Tsunade, as the Jinchūriki of the Living Slug, entered this state.

then--

As tens of thousands of Allied Shinobi on the ground stared in disbelief, Tsunade's body rapidly expanded as she plummeted towards the ground, quickly losing her human form and transforming into a blue and white slug. This slug continued to grow larger, from three meters, ten meters, fifty meters to one hundred meters... appearing in the sky above the battlefield like a giant meteorite.

In the end, the slug's body reached a staggering four hundred meters in length, crashing onto the battlefield with a deafening roar, instantly triggering a magnitude 10 earthquake. The ground near Kirigakure was like a carpet that had been grabbed by a giant's hand and violently shaken.

The ninja alliance was thrown into chaos, with many men and horses falling and many injured.

However, the nightmare for these invaders had only just begun.

The slug raised its head, puffed out its mouth, and then sprayed a large amount of acid into the sky, like a sulfuric acid rainstorm, covering most of the battlefield and sweeping towards the ground.

Take a break.

Acid rained down on the battlefield, covering every corner and leaving no escape for any enemy. Every ninja from the Allied Shinobi Forces that was touched by it let out a heart-wrenching scream as their bodies were corroded by the acid, leaving behind horrifying bloody holes.

"What...is this thing?"

Jiraiya stared in horror at the giant slug, trembling all over. The energy fluctuations emanating from its body were far greater than he had imagined, even more unfathomable than those of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.

"Honey, if I'm not mistaken, this slug is the true form of the Slug Sage from Shikkotsu Forest. It's a being that even the Great Master fears." Fukasaku murmured, looking at the live slug with equal shock.

"I never imagined that someone in this ninja world could summon the true form of the live slug. This is truly terrifying," Shima Sage echoed in astonishment.

Immediately, they all turned to look at Jiraiya and said to him, "Little Jiraiya, get out of here! Even if the Lord came, he couldn't do anything to the live slug. You are doomed to lose this war."

"But……"

Jiraiya was still hesitant. He knew the situation was hopeless, but could Konoha's thousands of ninjas really retreat safely in the face of an attack from this giant slug that was 400 meters long?

Just then, the slug launched a second attack.

It crouched down and sprayed countless amounts of acid again, sweeping forward like a tsunami, threatening to engulf the entire battlefield. Wherever that "tsunami" passed, countless ninja allies were swallowed up before they could escape, perishing amidst screams of agony.

After the tsunami, only countless skeletons remained on the ground. It was like a living hell.

"Lord Hokage, let's go!"

Seeing the surging acid tsunami, Minato Namikaze noticed that Jiraiya was still in a daze. He quickly grabbed the latter's arm and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape the battlefield.

But the remaining Konoha ninja were not so lucky. Most of them could not escape the pursuit of the acid tsunami, and were mercilessly swallowed up by it, leaving only their bones.

After the second wave of attacks by the live slugs, less than one percent of the Konoha Allied Shinobi Forces, which originally numbered nearly ten thousand, survived—only a few dozen survivors. The situation was similar for the other major ninja villages, or even worse than for Konoha. For example, Amegakure, including Yahiko, had only a handful of survivors.

In an instant, the massive, 50,000-strong ninja alliance was nearly wiped out by the live slug's slaughter. Humans, before a transcendent creature approaching the Six Paths level like the live slug, were as insignificant as ants.

Those who managed to survive fled like stray dogs, without looking back.

"how so……"

Outside the battlefield, Jiraiya stared in horror at the countless corpses of his Konoha comrades. As the Fourth Hokage, he carried the trust of countless people, and not long ago he had boldly declared that he would raze Kirigakure to the ground and liberate the Land of Water.

But now, he's ended up like this. How can he possibly face the villagers of Konoha?

"Lord Jiraiya, let's escape while the slug isn't paying attention. Let's retreat back to Konoha first, and then we can discuss this further," Minato Namikaze reminded him, seeing that Jiraiya had lost his focus.

"Little Jiraiya, only by living can you have any hope of revenge," the two immortals advised.

After being persuaded by everyone, Jiraiya lost his composure and fled the place in a panic.

This once-proud Fourth Hokage suffered the biggest setback of his life. However, compared to Onoki and the Fourth Raikage, he was lucky; at least he didn't die from Tsunade's fist.

Thus, the epic Fourth Shinobi World War ended with Kirigakure once again achieving a miraculous comeback and annihilating the Allied Shinobi Forces.

This was a resounding and exhilarating victory.

"Peng!"

On the battlefield, the slug, which was over 400 meters long, regained its human form and became Tsunade.

"We...won!" "Long live Lady Tsunade!"

The members of Kirigakure cheered with immense excitement, many of them weeping with joy, not only because they had survived a calamity, but also because they had achieved this incredible victory.

Of course, the credit mainly belongs to Tsunade alone.

When Tsunade returned to the Mizukage Building, she was immediately surrounded by a throng of people and showered with countless compliments.

Her heroics this time were a perfect replica of Kisame's performance in the Third Shinobi World War a few years ago, and perhaps even surpassed it. After all, Kisame only faced 5,000 enemies back then, and unlike Tsunade, he didn't achieve the astonishing feat of fighting seven Kage-level shinobi in succession.

Therefore, at this moment, the ninjas and villagers of Kirigakure regarded Tsunade as the supreme goddess, and their gazes toward her were filled with fervor.

"Lady Tsunade!"

At that moment, Shizune, Mei Terumi, Yuri, and others suddenly pushed through the crowd and rushed in, bringing a "corpse" to Tsunade. It was Pakura's corpse, charred black all over, with bones visible, and even sparks still remaining on its surface, radiating intense heat.

Ok?

Tsunade's gaze sharpened, and without a word, she bent down, placed her hand on Yekura's chest, and closed her eyes to sense her. Soon, a look of deep surprise appeared on her face.

Ye Cang was still alive, barely clinging to life.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade immediately performed on-the-spot rescue on Pakura, injecting her healing Yang Release chakra into the latter's body and summoning small slugs to lie on Pakura's body and repair those shocking wounds.

Once Yekura's condition stabilized, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Shizune and the others to take Yekura to the infirmary for further treatment.

At the same time, Tsunade ordered the rest of Kirigakure to clean up the entire battlefield, count the dead, and find and treat the wounded.

Although Kirigakure ultimately won the war, it suffered heavy losses. Not only was its main building reduced to the Mizukage Building, but its population was also reduced by more than half. Even with an optimistic estimate, it would take at least ten years to recover.

While the Hidden Mist members were busy...

Outside the battlefield, the Snake Princess gazed upon the land littered with the bones of tens of thousands, deeply shocked and unable to calm her emotions for a long time. Finally, she spoke with a sigh, "Tsunade, you are truly remarkable. I thought she had been conquered by Kisame Hoshigaki and become his plaything. I never imagined that she would unknowingly become an existence even more powerful than Kisame Hoshigaki."

"It's a pity you didn't choose the right side and missed the chance to prove your loyalty to Tsunade and Kirigakure and win her trust," Mitarashi Anko clicked her tongue, making a gloating and sarcastic remark about her teacher.

Unfazed by her apprentice's sarcasm, Snake Princess patted Red Bean's head and smiled slightly.

"It's alright, it's not too late now. Let's go see her."

"Oh, so you're not planning to defect now? Aren't you worried that Tsunade doesn't trust you and will just kill you?" Anko asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, I dare to go see her because I have leverage in negotiations."

The Snake Princess smiled mysteriously, seemingly confident.

at the same time.

Obito and Zetsu, somewhere outside the battlefield, witnessed the entire earth-shattering Fourth Shinobi World War.

"What a crazy woman! She actually sealed the live slug inside her body and became its jinchūriki. In this world, apart from the ten-tailed slug jinchūriki, there is probably no one who can rival her."

Black Zetsu spoke slowly, his voice low.

"We finally managed to kill Kisame Hoshigaki, and now Tsunade has appeared. What bad luck."

Obito spat lightly, feeling extremely displeased.

He originally came here intending to take advantage of the chaos and steal a few tailed beasts from Kirigakure. But now it seems that if he dares to approach Kirigakure, he will definitely be discovered by Tsunade and will inevitably be beaten up, gaining nothing in the process.

Tsunade's strength is even more terrifying than Kisame Hoshigaki's.

"Forget it, let's continue monitoring Nagato and figure out a way to get the Rinnegan back first." He glanced one last time in the direction of Kirigakure, then turned around, activated Kamui, and disappeared into the void.

A few days later.

The great battle that took place in Kirigakure was like a hurricane, quickly sweeping across the entire ninja world and causing unprecedented shock throughout the major countries and ninja villages.

Before this, Tsunade was a Konoha rogue ninja, the last surviving member of the Fifth Mizukage Kisame Hoshigaki, and a woman who was subject to much criticism and accusation.

But now, after this battle, her achievements of defeating seven Kage single-handedly and annihilating 50,000 ninja allies have undoubtedly made her the undisputed number one ninja of the era.

With Kisame's death and Nagato's injury and decline, the era of demigods had passed, and the era of Tsunade had begun.

In this new era, both Tsunade's allies and her enemies naturally thought of the same title to refer to her: the God of Shinobi.

This title once belonged to only one person: Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage who established the ninja village system, collected the nine tailed beasts, and was invincible in the ninja world. Now, many years later, his granddaughter Tsunade has inherited this title, allowing it to resound throughout the ninja world once again.

In stark contrast to Tsunade's brilliance were the four great ninja villages, which looked as if they had lost their parents.

Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

After news of the complete annihilation of the Konoha forces reached them, the people of Konoha have been immersed in immense grief and apprehension, fearing that annihilation might strike at any moment.

Because they were the ones who overturned Kisame's statue and deliberately broke the peace treaty signed with Kirigakure.

If Tsunade is unwilling to let this go and instead, like Kisame Hoshigaki during the Third Shinobi World War, directly attacks Konoha's gates, the past humiliation will likely be repeated.
