Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

"Lady Tsunade, be careful of the water dragon bullet behind you!"

Oops, there’s no way to dodge this move!

Tsunade turned around suddenly and punched the water dragon bullet coming from behind.

Under the control of the Mizukage, this water dragon not only looks more like a dragon, but its power is far beyond the ninjutsu released by ordinary ninjas.

Even though the dragon head was blown up by Tsunade's punch, the remaining part of its body was still powerful and slammed her to the ground.

He kept adjusting his body shape in the air, stood on the tree again, and looked coldly at the water shadow opposite.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

The expression on the Mizukage's face did not change after Tsunade detonated the water dragon bomb, nor did it change because of Tsunade's question. He looked calm and unperturbed.

As if he had determined that ninjutsu could not defeat Tsunade, he fell to the ground.

A violent aura appeared around the water shadow, red chakra spread all over his body, and if you looked closely you would find black threads flowing inside.

Three tails emerged from behind the Mizukage, and his back slowly bulged. After he lay on the ground, he looked like a turtle with four tails.

"Is this...the perfect Jinchuriki?"

Tsunade's expression instantly became serious, and her brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).

The previous Tailed Beast Ball showed that the Mizukage might have the ability to control the tailed beasts, but I never thought that the opponent would have the ability to transform into a half-tailed beast without losing control.

This is really troublesome.

"boom--!"

This punch is extremely powerful!

The Mizukage, who had not yet transformed into a half-tailed beast, was thrown deep into the forest by this sudden punch, and all the trees along the way were broken.

"so hard!"

Tsunade rubbed her fist and did not move forward to finish off the enemy. Before her fist approached the Mizukage, it was blocked by the Mizukage's three tails and failed to cause any damage to the Mizukage.

"Lady Tsunade, I feel a large amount of chakra gathering in front of the Mizukage!"

Tsunade didn't even think twice before violently breaking the tree next to her and throwing it in the direction where the Mizukage was flying backwards.

"Bam—!"

The huge tree exploded before it was out of Tsunade's sight, and the impact followed.

The speed is good!

Wood chips were flying in the forest. Tsunade squinted her eyes and saw a red figure coming towards her from the corner of her eye. She made a blocking stance with her arms and retreated hastily.

But the red figure seemed to have predicted her route, and with great force, pain attacked Tsunade from her back, and she was slammed to the ground.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Tsunade got up from the ground, her vision blurred. The warmth flowing across her forehead made her solemn and painful expression perfectly remain in that second.

Bright red blood dripped down the nose and fell quietly onto the gray clothes.

Don't... don't look... the battle is not over yet... the Mizukage is not yet...

As a doctor, Tsunade knew what it was. She was clearly on guard in her heart and had not yet defeated the Mizukage. However, she could see clearly what was going on with just her peripheral vision...

Under the moonlight, Tsunade sat on the ground, looking down at the blood on her clothes, motionless...

"Lady Tsunade, please leave now."

The attacking red figure was very close. The slug kept twisting its body, and its small body rushed towards Yagura.

Could it be that Lady Tsunade's hemophobia has not yet recovered?

A face filled with fear came into view. It was too late to pass on the message. All I could do was pray that Lady Mikoto Slug would arrive in time...

The slug was determined and rushed towards the oncoming Mizukage with all his strength.

A huge force came at Tsunade, and the slug endured the injury of returning to the wet ancient forest. It knocked Tsunade several meters behind it like a bouncing ball and turned into a white mist.

Under the impact, Tsunade turned her attention back to the Mizukage, but the blood-red tailed beast coat kept reminding her of her fear of blood, and she had no way to gather chakra to resist the Mizukage's attack.

Rope Tree, Duan... I'm here to find you... Sorry, Chihiro... It seems that the teacher is really holding you back this time...

Tsunade quietly looked at the attacking Mizukage, with a complex and bitter look in her eyes. She seemed to see her deceased relatives in a trance. The memory in her mind stayed on that small unconvinced figure. The drama of reality made her curl the corners of her mouth... In the end, I was the one who took off and retreated...

"Ivy Shield!"

"Ivy tentacles!"

Before she could finish her inner monologue, a feeling of weightlessness came over her feet, and then Tsunade felt herself falling into a hard embrace.

"Really, teacher, it seems like you're really holding me back this time!"

The teasing voice emerged from Tsunade's ears. Tsunade couldn't help but open her eyes, staring at the strange yet familiar young face.

Seto Chihiro thought Tsunade was still in fear, so she gently placed her on the tree trunk and pointed to Yagura who was trapped in the Teng Shield and constantly destroying the Teng Shield: "Tsunade-sensei, you stay here first! Captain Mikoto will be here soon, and there are more important things for me to do now!"

After returning to the ground, Tsunade finally had the opportunity to see her apprentice's full appearance. Tears could not help but flow out, and a choked voice came out of her mouth: "Didn't I tell you not to use that ninjutsu again?"

At this time, half of Seto Chihiro's body was integrated into the tree trunk, and the exposed upper body was dark green, the same color as the surrounding branches, and the whole person looked like a tree man.

"If you really don't pull yourself together, Sensei, you're really going to lose your new disciple! Sensei Tsunade!"

Chihiro slowly climbed out of the tree, without looking back to observe Tsunade's expression. She looked at Yagura who was about to break out of the cage, and waved her hands forward: "Sword of Branches!"

"boom--!"

In an instant, the trunks of several large trees around Yagura grew horizontally at a rapid speed, turning into huge fists and crashing towards Yagura.

Seto Chihiro knew that no matter whether it was the explosion generated by natural energy or his current ninjutsu, there was no way to break Yagura's outer coat. Only by using brute force to continuously break the opponent's bones and making the recovery speed unable to keep up, would it be possible to make Yagura exit this state.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The huge pain made Yagura roar violently. He swung his tail to break all the branches that were in the way. The black Tailed Beast Ball condensed in front of him and aimed at the tree trunk 10 meters away.

"Chain explosion!"

Without any warning, several vines quickly wrapped around Yagura's body, and natural energy was continuously released from the tips of the vines, forming white balls of the same size.

The next second, the darkness was dispelled, flames burst out, and endless explosions sounded from beside Yagura, interrupting the release of the Tailed Beast Ball.

“What a hard tortoise shell.”

Seto Chihiro slowly emerged from a tree trunk not far behind Yagura and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Tsunade's condition has not recovered yet, so she can only come down personally to restrain Yagura and prevent him from releasing the super-large Tailed Beast Ball.

After using the Lost Ninjutsu. Arc of the Tree, he was able to move quickly in the tree, which made his idea of ​​personally restraining Yagura become a reality.

However, he still found it difficult to deal with Yagura's defense!

Should we say that it is worthy of being a half-tailed beast? Even under a series of explosions that are as powerful as the Detonating Talisman, there is no way to break through the red coat.

"Branch Sword!"

"Ivy tentacles!"

"Tree fusion!"

Chihiro controlled the huge wooden fist to knock Yagura away, controlled the tiny vines to catch Yagura in the air, and threw him towards the forest away from Tsunade, while merging into the tree again.

Mikoto and Slug have reached Tsunade's side, hoping that she can recover quickly.

Otherwise, once Yagura transforms into a tailed beast, it will be really troublesome...

Now he relies on the ability to take advantage of the arc shape of the tree, constantly moving in the tree, kiting Yagura and increasing his consumption.

Once the surrounding trees are destroyed by the Tailed Beast Ball or moved to a place without trees, it will be a dead end...

Chapter 47: Tsunade cheers up

Nightmares are the nightmares that no one wants to think of.

......

[Sister, I will definitely become a Hokage like Grandpa in the future... I think you are more suitable to have it than me, so you should cherish it. ]

......

[I still have a lot of things to do... I can't die in a place like this... It's okay now, the bleeding has stopped, you will definitely be saved. ]

......

There was a voice in Tsunade's mind constantly telling her something, and the images that emerged in each sentence ended with death. Every memory of the past made her suffer. She was shaken, blamed herself, and regretted it...

In the end, he could only sink into gambling, trying to seal this sad memory in a corner until his death...

But sometimes, death does not mean the real end... forgetting is the end.

Watching Chihiro merge into the tree again and leave her with her back, Tsunade remembered something else, some memories that she had selectively forgotten and selectively hated...

[Not just the necklace, this village is grandpa's treasure, I will definitely protect it! ]

【I want to fight to put an end to the war...】

But once you start reminiscing, you can't stop...

[My name is Senju Taichi, you can call me Taichi...]

[Good afternoon, Lady Tsunade, my name is Chihiro Seto...]

[Then I am different. I also saved them out of my conscience.]

[Heh~ Lady Tsunade, please don’t hold your own disciple back...]

[Tsunade...Teacher...]

[If you really don't cheer up, you will really lose your new disciple! Tsunade-sensei! ...]

......

"Tsunade-sama? Tsunade-sama!"

His consciousness gradually returned to reality as Mikoto called out to him.

The sound of the explosion was getting farther and farther away, as if she had just had a beautiful dream. Tsunade didn't know how long she had been immersed in her memories. She slowly stood up, holding on to the tree trunk. She was calm in the last second, but suddenly panicked in the next second: "Captain Mikoto, what is the current battle situation?!"

Black lines appeared on her forehead, and white mist floated out from Tsunade's head. The wound on her forehead healed quickly, and the small abrasions on her body also recovered quickly.

"Phew~ That's great, Lady Tsunade."

Looking at Tsunade's determined expression, Mikoto felt relieved. Although she didn't know what had happened to this Princess Senju before, now as long as she cheered up, there was hope.

She pointed to the remains of the wooden fist net under the tree trunk and the broken vines, and said uncertainly: "Based on the traces at the scene, there is a ninja who is suspected to be using Wood Release Ninjutsu in the forest now. It is very likely that it is Chihiro Chunin."

"The reason is that just now when we arrived here, Slug-sama saw Chihiro Chunin dive into a big tree and disappeared."

Tsunade looked down at the sawdust on the ground with a strange look on her face, muttering to herself: "Wood Release? Forget about that for now, Mikoto, come with me to support Chihiro."

Even though she had guessed it in her heart, Mikoto was still shocked when she heard the truth from Tsunade. Wood Release had appeared in this world again...

After the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, used the power of Wood Release to fight with Hashirama Senju, the two ninja clans shook hands and made peace. Since then, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan also founded Konoha, ending the Warring States Period and ushering in the most prosperous era of ninja villages... What will Chihiro Chunin do with Wood Release?

There was silence all the way, but Tsunade couldn't help but recall the time when she knew Seto Chihiro.

It has only been about 10 days since I officially met Chihiro Seto.

To be honest, Tsunade actually has some concerns about Chihiro...Will he be an important pawn of the other ninja villages? Why can meeting him change my luck? How can he have such a good recovery ability?

These doubts would be so suspicious if they were placed on any child, but the other party rescued the members of the Uzumaki clan. Just this one thing was enough for her to suppress the above things in her heart... As long as there is no evidence, the other party is the benefactor of the Senju clan...

However, Tsunade has now found the answers to all these questions - Seto Chihiro is a descendant of the Senju clan.

Because of Wood Release, he studied history and longed to return to the embrace of the ninja clan; because of Wood Release, he took the initiative to find her instead of looking for Konoha; because he was a member of the Senju clan, he possessed a strong recovery ability.

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle, "He actually hid it from his own clan members. What a cautious little brat he is. I must teach him a lesson when I return to the village."

Although the content of the words was a bit scary, the doting in the tone was obvious. Mikoto stood beside her and was a little curious: "Lady Tsunade, what did you just say?"

"No, it's nothing."

Feeling the explosion getting closer, Tsunade waved her hand and thought that as long as the Mizukage was subdued, everything would be easy.

......
