In the command post.

Huang Tu looked at Lin Yu as he returned and asked, "Your Majesty, what you just used was the Desolate Escape Technique, wasn't it?"

Lin Yu pulled up a chair and sat down: "That's right."

"To shatter such a large-scale Wood Release technique with a single strike, and to annihilate so many enemies along with it—that's truly terrifying power!"

Lin Yu said seriously, "More importantly, we need to be careful. I discovered the paper butterflies that the enemy Konan used for reconnaissance. The fact that I was able to find them proves that this technique has likely been dispersed across the battlefield. With their excellent intelligence and the White Zetsu's rapid movement, if our ninjas are discovered, the White Zetsu forces are likely to intercept them before we can even provide support!"

Konan's secret technique is to manipulate paper with chakra. Her body can disperse into tens of thousands of paper butterflies for reconnaissance over a very wide area. After obtaining the Earth-grade blessing talisman, the number of paper butterflies she can disperse can even reach an astonishing 100,000... enough to conduct reconnaissance within a hundred miles!

The seven thousand White Zetsu who infiltrated the land earlier were on Konan's orders to surround and kill the Allied Forces members whose location had been exposed!

By sheer coincidence, what Xiao Nan discovered was actually the Allied Forces' medical unit!

The medical unit did not gather all the medical ninjas of the Allied Forces, since in military campaigns, the main combat troops must be accompanied by medical ninjas...

However, due to the limitations of battlefield conditions, there is no time for elaborate medical treatment during intense combat. Those who are seriously wounded will be sent to the medical unit's base for centralized treatment after bandaging and stopping the bleeding.

It can be said that the medical forces stationed at the medical corps' bases are the main medical force of the coalition!

At this moment, the ninja war had only just broken out, and no seriously ill patients had been sent over yet.

Tsunade and Shizune, master and disciple, were able to catch up after a long time. They stood in front of a tent, gazing at the moon in the night sky.

Jingyin wore a dark-colored dress, exuding a refined and understated charm.

Tsunade smoked a cigarette, her eyes concealing her sorrow.

Shizune: "Lady Tsunade, how have you been these past few years...?"

Tsunade: "That's good. How about you?"

Mute: "Me too."

After a long silence.

Silently, she asked with a complicated expression, "Do you...hate me?"

“I’ve hated him…” Tsunade flicked her cigarette ash.

Beneath the silent sleeves, his fist clenched quietly, his lips tightening.

But Tsunade turned her face away, a smile of an elder playing on her lips: "But later I understood your choice, and I'm proud of you..."

"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune's eyes welled up with tears.

Tsunade murmured, "Perhaps, he was the same way..."

Jiraiya did not inform Tsunade beforehand about his decision to go to the masquerade ball headquarters alone.

Because he knew that Tsunade would definitely stop him.

Jiraiya is no longer the solitary figure he was when he infiltrated Amegakure in the original work. He now has a beloved wife and daughter, and if his wife were to obstruct him at all costs, he fears he might not be able to bring himself to do it!

Until the day before news of Jiraiya's death arrived, Tsunade believed that Jiraiya was out gathering material for his new novel...

So when Tsunade received the news of his death, her reaction was... just like Naruto's in the original work.

He exclaimed "Huh?" without even shedding a tear or showing any sadness... because it was so sudden that it felt unreal!

It wasn't until she was completely drunk and returned home in a daze that she saw a family photo of the three of them on the table. Only then did she truly realize that the man would never come back. Two lines of tears finally slid down her cheeks, and then the heart-wrenching pain almost tore her apart!

She was devastated for a very long time! Every day she recalled the little moments they spent together, and her tears had long since dried up...

Tsunade has decided she will never cry again, because she has already shed all the tears she could in this life!

Returning to the present, Tsunade took a deep drag on her cigarette.

"Hmm!?" Suddenly, her brows furrowed tightly.

"What's wrong, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked, puzzled.

"Wait for me here!" Tsunade extinguished her cigarette and returned to her tent.

"I have a subtle feeling, let me confirm it..." Tsunade sat cross-legged and closed her eyes to meditate.

call out! !

Natural energy flows continuously into the body...

This time, Jiraiya's death killed Tsunade's heart as well, and she finally learned the 'Silent Sage Technique' that her fiery personality could never have mastered!

Whoosh! A blue glow covers his entire body, and Silent Sage Mode is activated!

"Just as I thought!" Tsunade opened her eyes, stood up, and strode out of the tent: "Enemy attack! Activate the barrier! Combat personnel, follow me to meet the enemy!"

With a whoosh, she formed a hand seal and pressed it onto the ground.

—The art of spirit communication!

Chapter 522 The Flames of Enduring War: A Move That Can Be Regretted?

Suddenly, seven thousand White Zetsu appeared and surrounded the medical unit's headquarters!

"Then proceed according to plan, slaughter everyone here, and then transform into their likeness to intercept and kill any more ninjas sent here!"

"Medical ninjas have almost no combat ability. To conserve chakra, there's no need to use Wood Release. Just approach and kill them quietly. Also, remember not to damage any buildings to avoid suspicion..."

"understand!"

"learn!"

Let's split up!

Just as the White Zetsu were about to take action, they saw a large barrier rise up in front of them, blocking their way!

"Damn it, there shouldn't be any way we could have been exposed!!"

Boom! The slug's massive body descended in front of her, and Tsunade leaped from above its head, unleashing a blue light strike!

—Celestial Technique: Heaven-Piercing Kick!!!

Rumble!!

The earth was split in two, and spiderweb-like cracks radiated in all directions. Hundreds of White Zetsu were thrown into the sky and fell like dumplings!

Whoosh! The combat ninjas responsible for protecting the medical unit were in position, and some couldn't resist launching a charge!

Tsunade shouted, "The enemy can use Wood Release! Don't approach rashly!"

Snapped! !

The slug split into hundreds, wriggling forward, piling up on top of each other to form a trench!

"Close-range ninjas, stay put! Ranged ninjas, use the slugs as a fortress and continuously unleash ranged ninjutsu!" Tsunade shouted. "Slugs!"

"Hi, Lady Tsunade!" all the slug splits said in unison.

"If the enemy uses Wood Release, immediately launch an acid attack to counter the Wood Release!"

"understand!"

"Damn it! How were we discovered?!" The White Zetsu were still agonizing over this question!

"Never mind, let's just go for it! They outnumber us, let's use Wood Release to wear them down!"

Agreed!

The seven thousand White Zetsu used Wood Release, their trees intertwining together like a desolate wave crashing down!

The slugs kept spewing acid, dissolving the Wood Release techniques, while the ninjas used the slugs as cover to use ranged ninjutsu!

Tsunade sat cross-legged atop the core slug's head, her eyes closed: "While I am not quite at the same level as Grandmother Mito, I can still achieve a certain degree of compatibility..."

Zizizizi!

Based on the Silent Sage Technique, Tsunade opened the Yin Seal on her forehead, and the lines bloomed to about one-third of their original size. Even so, her power had already increased significantly!

"In that case, I alone can channel chakra to support a thousand people in battle for five minutes. The command should be aware of the situation here, and hopefully we can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

United Front Command of the Allied Forces!

Haiyi: "The medical unit was ambushed by a large number of White Zetsu, numbering approximately seven thousand!"

Shikaku: "How many military units are there in that area?"

Haiyi: "The main force of the Second Division, and the action squads of the Third Division!"

Shikaku: "The medical unit is of paramount importance; there can be no mistakes. Send the second unit to provide support immediately!!"

Haiyi: "It's impossible! The Second Division has already encountered the enemy's vanguard and is currently engaged in fierce combat!!"

Shikaku's mind raced: The Second Unit couldn't provide aid, and the only force nearby was a small action squad from the Third Unit, not the main force. Even if they rushed to support them, it wouldn't change the course of the battle. But if troops were drawn from even further away, the medical unit would inevitably suffer casualties... The enemy's reconnaissance skills were indeed troublesome; to make matters worse, it was the medical unit that was discovered... Wait a minute!

Shikaku suddenly realized something: the seven thousand White Zetsu matched the number of White Zetsu who had disappeared during the surprise attack – it couldn't be a coincidence! This meant they had already expended a considerable amount of chakra, and were still consuming it…

Shikaku looked at Lin Yu: "Lord Shadow! If only a portion of the White Zetsu's enhancement techniques are deactivated, will the other White Zetsu whose enhancement techniques haven't been deactivated be able to sense it if telepathy is initiated?"

Lin Yu said, "White Zetsu's telepathy also has a distance limit!"

Lu Jiu said, "Then please tell me the more specific distance!"

"It's probably five kilometers! But if there are obstacles or if you get distracted, it might be shorter!"

Shikaku looked at the map: "Right now, the Second Division is also engaged in battle with a large number of White Zetsu. The two groups of White Zetsu are about five kilometers apart. We need to take into account the fact that the White Zetsu's strength has increased, and this distance has also increased..."

"Lord Huangtu, there's something I need to ask of you! And Lord Anying, if all goes well, we might be able to turn these 7000 White Zetsu ahead of schedule!"

Two minutes later.

——Earth Escape·Earthquake Core!

With a deafening roar that shook the earth, a thick earthen wall stretching for several kilometers separated the area between the two groups of White Zetsu!

"Huff, huff, huff, huff..." Tu Ying Huang Tu was panting heavily, drenched in sweat.

Lin Yu said, "Truly worthy of being the Tsuchikage, the power of his Earth Release techniques is astonishing..."

Huang Tu smiled sheepishly: "Please don't joke around."

Lin Yu thought to himself: However, Shikaku's mind... is even more extraordinary!

call out!

Yu released White Zetsu No. 1 from the space-time continuum!
