Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

Uchiha Chiri steadily supported Shinji's body, pulling him into her arms. The field hospital, which had just been filled with cheers and jubilation, suddenly fell into a heart-wrenching silence.

"What happened to Lord Shen'er?"

Akimichi Torine asked, his voice trembling. No one dared to step forward, fearing the most despairing news.

Chiri whispered, "Elder Shen's Bloodline Limits have the ability to absorb chakra. During the treatment of the wounded, he absorbed too much of the Tsunamaru virus, and his body is severely overdrawn. He needs to rest now."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief...

Thankfully, he was just exhausted. Thankfully, this hero who saved the Leaf Village ninja did not perish. His collapse from exhaustion did not diminish his greatness; on the contrary, it made his image shine even brighter.

Heroes should live and be rewarded!

As the head of the field hospital, Akimichi Torine immediately ordered: "Immediately transfer two Earth Release ninjas to build a single ward for Lord Jin on the spot! Also, go to the logistics department and get a brand new set of bedding."

"Yes!"

It was a clear case of "privilege abuse," but no one objected.

The elder deserves it!

The news of Shen Er developing Zen-based ninjutsu and Shen Er collapsing spread almost simultaneously and quickly reached the camp.

soon.

A quiet recuperation room was erected. In the chaos of the battlefield, only Shen was entitled to such treatment. Everyone watched as Uchiha Chiri escorted Shen into the recuperation room.

Uchiha Chiri stood guard outside the door, strictly forbidding anyone from disturbing Shinji's rest.

Once the surroundings were completely quiet, she slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.

All the weakness and coma were just an act for show.

Even the explanation given by Uchiha Chiri to the outside world was a statement deliberately spread through her mouth. To avoid worrying her, they fabricated the characteristics of Tenci Yu beforehand.

What kind of ending would be worthy of Shen Er's hardships and wanderings on the front lines these past few days?

The only answer is the end.

He carried everything alone, absorbed all the pain of his companions, and finally collapsed surrounded by everyone.

A heart-wrenching scene depicting the hero's tragic end.

Classic, yet easy to use.

This is the final piece of the design that Shen Er put forward for this grand drama.

All that's left is to let the bullets fly for a while, lie quietly in the recovery room for a few days, and then go back to see the Hokage with a clean record.

His heroic deeds, after being widely disseminated and compiled into touching tales of kindness that even he himself found absurd, would be considered complete.

Eight hours later...

Even after regaining consciousness, he ordered a message to be sent back to lift the highest level of martial law in the village. Coughing up blood, he wore a Hokage-style half-sleeved haori and began to prepare the Zen-unraveling ninjutsu scrolls and medicines needed for the front lines.

Twelve hours later...

He then fell into a coma again.

Sixteen hours later...

When he woke up again, he took out a portion of the Zen-Unraveling Ninja Technique scrolls and, along with a letter he had already written, sent them back to Konoha Village.

The letter contains the following:

The First Hokage died before completing his grand undertaking. Now, in the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha is surrounded by enemies on three sides and faces a dire situation. This is indeed a critical time for Konoha's survival. However, the medical ninjas remain steadfast, and the loyal and dedicated ninjas on the battlefield fight bravely, undoubtedly inspired by the Will of Fire…

The first generation knew I was careful and cautious, so he entrusted me with the important affairs of the village on his deathbed.

Since receiving the dying wish, I have been filled with worry and sighs day and night, fearing that I might damage the first generation's ability to judge character... Finally, this crisis of poisonous ninjutsu has been resolved.

Every word was written in blood.

After returning to the village, this "Memorial on the Expedition of the Ninja World" will be included in the new edition of "The Will of Fire" to inspire future generations of ninjas.

...

When news of Zen-in Shinji's arrival at the front lines reached the Sunagakure command...

Chiyo's answer was: "There may be trouble, but there's no need to take action. The Sand Poison Ninja Technique is unsolvable."

When the Zen-based method of forbearance appeared in the world, the tent fell into a deathly silence.

Someone asked, "Lady Chiyo, what should we do now?"

Chiyo's reply was: "We should indeed take action, but the Konoha camp is full of ninjas, and a direct assault would be too costly."

"Zen Temple is ultimately just one person. Once we have trained enough sealing ninjas, we will launch a large-scale attack and use the Sand Poison Ninja Technique at the same time. He can't save us all by himself."

When Shener created the Zen-Liberation and Pain-Healing Scroll.

Chiyo remained silent for a long time before saying:

"If only we had acted back then, it would have been better, but now it's too late."

She couldn't believe that the Sand Poison Ninja Technique, on which the entire village had placed its hopes, had been broken by Shen Er in just three days, and that a corresponding healing scroll had even been made.

Poison ninjutsu and puppet techniques were the Sand Village's right-hand men. And now, they had directly crippled one of the Sand Village's arms.

Is it really the right choice to make an enemy of such a person?

Chiyo's ninja way is wavering.

As a fellow medical ninja, she knew exactly how astonishing the strength Zenin Jinji had displayed was.

Is he really the god of medical ninjas?

what to do……

Chiyo's first thought was to simply surrender.

Those who are eager for a quick victory are more likely to become surrenderers. Her original plan was perfect: after eliminating the threat of the Impure World Reincarnation, she would use Sunagakure's unique sand poison ninjutsu to crush Konoha's front-line defenses and seize the initiative in the battle.

But now, the appearance of Zen-in-Sen-er has completely shattered all her plans for a quick victory.

A swift victory is no longer possible.

What about a protracted war? Sunagakure simply doesn't have the manpower, resources, or reserves to sustain a prolonged conflict with Konoha. A continued stalemate will only result in Sunagakure being the first to be worn down and exhausted.

The final defeat seemed to be already predetermined.

Just as she was about to be swallowed by this hopeless darkness, Chiyo gritted her teeth, suppressed her wavering, and said in a deep voice, "No, we still have hope."

"According to the current intelligence, only Zenin Jinji in Konoha has the method to cure the poison. Once he dies, the medical scrolls he made will eventually be exhausted. At that time, the suppression effect of the sand poison will still be unsolvable, and the initiative on the battlefield will still be in the hands of our Sunagakure."

"But……"

"When will Zenji leave the Konoha camp?"

Yes, when will he leave?

Chiyo took a deep breath: "If he doesn't leave, we'll launch a full-scale attack. We'll force him to retreat from the front lines to the rear. Once his defenses weaken, we'll launch a decapitation strike. If he still doesn't retreat, then..."

"Let's kill him with human lives!"

Her heart was bleeding.

When she initially held the advantage of the sand poison, she was still concerned about casualties and reluctant to launch a rash attack. But now, having lost all her advantage, she has to pay several times the price to launch a large-scale offensive under the most unfavorable circumstances, just to kill Shen Er.

This was a choice made out of desperation.

"Army attack!"

After giving the order to attack, Chiyo's face hardened, and she summoned an ANBU member, instructing him, "Go back immediately and request the Kazekage to bring the Jinchuriki to the battlefield!"

"I'm going to have the Three-Tails launch a Tailed Beast Ball at Konoha!"

...

late at night.

Three Sand Village squads, each led by an elite Chunin, stealthily approached the front of the Leaf Village's defenses under the cover of darkness.

Before they could even catch a glimpse of the Konoha ninja, several Edo Tensei ninjas with cracks all over their bodies charged straight at them.

The darkness is not the cover of Sunagakure.

Konoha possesses the Byakugan, granting them all-weather night vision, making both day and night their domain. In contrast, the Sand Village ninjas, due to the blurred vision in the darkness, were unable to be alerted in time, allowing the Edo Tensei ninjas to get close.

The Chunin leading the team knew how troublesome and terrifying reanimated ninjas were, and immediately gave a stern order: "Stop him! Don't let him get any closer!"

"Wind Release: Great Wind Blows!"

"Wind Release: Wind Blade!"

Several wind-style ninjutsu techniques roared out, attempting to block the attack.

However, the most effective technique against Wind Release is precisely Fire Release, which Konoha excels at.

The impure ninja unleashed a series of low-level fire jutsu attacks, ignoring his broken arms and legs, and with his battered body, he forced his way through the wind ninja's onslaught, finally reaching the three sand ninja squads.

The next moment, they shouted with fearless spirit, "For Konoha!"

Bang! ! !

The explosive tags they had sewn into their chests and put in their mouths were detonated.

The massive chain of explosions rendered the three Sand Village squads unable to maintain their formation, resulting in heavy casualties. Even more disheartening was the fact that the reanimated ninjas who had just self-destructed were visibly repairing themselves and would soon be fully restored.

Tobirama Senju left a large number of Edo Tensei ninja on the Sunagakure front.

However, he lacked the energy to simultaneously perform multi-threaded control and activate the multiplicative detonating tag technique.

Therefore, he loosened the restrictions on these reanimated ninjas who were Konoha ninjas in their previous lives, allowing them to self-destruct; while he personally controlled the reanimated ninjas who were enemies in their previous lives.

The surviving Sand Ninja were filled with despair. Faced with these reanimated ninjas who were fearless of death, capable of infinite regeneration, and self-destruction, what could their flesh and blood possibly offer?

How can we push the front line forward?

The large number of Edo Tensei ninjas on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War appeared to be cannon fodder that could be easily eliminated, because the Allied Forces had professional sealing teams and combined ninjutsu techniques. For ordinary ninjas who did not know sealing techniques, they were simply helpless against Edo Tensei ninjas.

Being caught by an Edo Tensei ninja carrying explosive tags means certain death.

Originally, everything was peaceful; everyone was just throwing a couple of shurikens at each other and that was it. But for some reason, Commander Chiyo ordered a full-scale attack tonight.

They weren't afraid of death, but rather disgusted by such meaningless sacrifices.

They were crippled before they even saw a Konoha ninja!
