I am the most popular character in Naruto!

despair……

Damn it, why isn't Jiraiya by my side!

"It's not extravagant. According to Ebizo, as long as we kill you, Konoha will be finished."

Chiyo grinned, her eyes filled with hatred. "After I take care of you, I'll be Konoha's White Fang!"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Flower of Hope

"Chien, what follows is a fight to the death. Are you scared?"

Tsunade clenched her fists, looked directly at Chiyo, and asked in a low voice to Chiaki, who was standing beside her.

"……Fear."

Chiaki responded earnestly, a faint pink life force emanating from her body, and she clenched her fists like Tsunade.

Honestly, how could a girl from a peaceful era not be afraid when faced with the desperate situation of war, even after experiencing a life-or-death battle and studying ninja knowledge with the legendary Sannin of Konoha for two months?

The current situation far exceeds Chiaki's imagination. In the original work, it was only mentioned that Tsunade and the other three encountered an encirclement during their mission, and in order to break through the encirclement, Kato Dan lost his life.

But that old scoundrel AB didn't explicitly say that they broke through from the puppet hundred-man squad!

Or...

Because Tsunade is too weak right now, she used the Puppet Hundred-Man Squad, a powerful weapon, to ensure a fatal blow.

In the original story, it was very difficult to kill Tsunade, who had reached the Kage level. Therefore, the Sand Village's goal changed to slowing her down and having Tsunade's lover, Dan Kato, die in front of her to affect her mindset.

Holy crap, thinking about it that way, the strategists in Sunagakure are truly amazing...

Whether in the original story or now, his goal has always been Tsunade, and as it turns out, he succeeded.

Qianqiu trembled all over, feeling as if he had encountered the biggest problem since he transmigrated here.

Damn it, it's only been two months and fifty-eight chapters, and I, the protagonist, have already experienced life and death several times. Is this really reasonable?

If it weren't for my appearance, Tsunade would never have been in such a perilous situation. In trying to save Tsunade, I ended up putting her in a desperate situation instead...

Haha, how ridiculous.

"Yes……"

Tsunade turned her head and smiled slightly at Chiaki, "I'm sorry for dragging you into this world."

She was beautiful, and her smile was beautiful too, like a flower blooming in dire straits, captivating the heart.

"Kime Kōtō! Kato Dan! Protect Chiaki as she breaks through! I'll create an opportunity for you!"

With a sharp shout, Tsunade charged towards Chiyo like a cannonball, leaving a small crater in her wake.

She was determined to live even in the face of death, using her life to create an opportunity for Qianqiu to survive!

"Hmph, a hundred-man puppet squad! Attack!"

Chiyo snorted and returned to the tree, avoiding Tsunade.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Her younger brother had told her that Tsuna would fight desperately because she was in dire straits. At that time, she had to send her men to wear down her fighting spirit. Once she was almost exhausted, she could then deliver a fatal blow to ensure her death.

"Tsunade!"

Chiaki took two steps forward in disbelief, watching the resolute Tsunade surrounded by a large number of puppets. Her thoughts were like boiling water, constantly expanding.

Scalding tears inexplicably fell, her pearly teeth biting her cherry lips tightly, not stopping even as blood flowed from them.

Do not……

That's not true! Tsunade!

You wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for me...

If I had to say, it was I who dragged you into this deadly situation, Tsunade!

"Kime Kōdō! Protect the eternal spring!"

Kato Dan also took a deep breath, grabbed Chiaki and threw him to Mokume Kōtō, and resolutely charged towards Tsunade.

If anyone is to die, it will be me in front of you, Tsunade!

"Boss!"

Kōdō, gripping the tearful Chiaki, struggled to dodge the puppet's attacks, then slammed his fist on the ground in frustration.

"Earth escape! Earth flow wall!"

Rumble

The ground shook, and the earthen wall rose up. Mumu Gongdao pulled Qianqiu behind the earthen wall.

Wow

The puppet crashed into the earthen wall, a flash of light appeared, and the earthen wall immediately shattered.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Mokumu Kōdō turned and spat a powerful fireball at the shattered earthen wall, forcing the puppets to retreat.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Mokumu Kōdō, carrying Chiaki, moved swiftly, his chakra flowing freely as he unleashed various ninjutsu, relentlessly forcing back the puppets.

He wanted to break through, but there were just too many puppets. Even if he managed to force some back, there were still other puppets blocking his way.

Even a Jonin is considered a high-level fighter in the village, but when facing dozens of ninjas of the same rank, and the elite regular army of Sunagakure, the role that Mokumo Kōtō could play was far too small.

"Go away!"

Tsunade punched a puppet, sending it flying backward and crashing into a tree, breaking in two.

She held down a puppet with one hand and crushed its head.

She swept her foot out, shattering several puppets.

But what can we do about it?

As long as the puppet is not completely destroyed, the puppeteer can control it to attack. The puppet has no sense of pain and is fearless of death, swarming towards Tsunade.

"The art of spiritual transformation!"

Kato Dan moved swiftly, unleashing a secret technique. A puppeteer was instantly possessed by Kato Dan, who controlled the puppet to block the attack for Tsunade.

snap

The puppet was caught in an attack by a large number of other puppets and was completely destroyed.

"die!"

puff

The puppeteer controlled by Kato Dan had his forehead shattered by a kunai from Chiyo. Kato Dan took a deep breath and moved again.

"...Thanks!"

Tsunade looked up at Dan Kato. If it weren't for him, she would probably have been injured during that attack.

"Find the puppeteer to attack! Fighting the puppets is useless!"

Kato Dan moved like a ghost, quickly darting through the forest in search of the puppeteer.

Do you need to tell me?

Tsunade clenched her fist and once again forced back the swarming puppets.

Her movement speed wasn't fast, but the puppeteers all learned movement-based ninjutsu, which made things difficult for them.

"what!"

In the woods, another puppeteer landed, and Kato Dan killed another one!

But the puppeteers weren't fools. With their figures constantly intertwining, some of the puppets swarming around Tsunade broke away and surrounded Kato Dan.

Even though Kato Dan was fast and had a ghostly figure, the puppets' thorough search still managed to expose his true form.

"Hmph, the Spirit Transformation Technique is indeed very strong in reconnaissance, but in combat, it's not worth mentioning."

Chiyo sneered and waved her hand, and several elite Jonin-level puppeteers rushed towards Kato Dan, who had been discovered.

"not good……"

Kato Dan's survival pressure suddenly increased several levels, and soon, the puppets slashed his body with wounds.

A patch of green light appeared on the wound, which then quickly turned black and festered.

The puppets of Sunagakure are all poisonous!

Kato swiftly severed his hand, cutting off the wound, causing blood to gush out.

"Boss!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Mokumu Kōdō immediately shouted in alarm.

I'm still too weak, I'm still too weak!

"Put me down..."

Just then, Chiaki, who was being pulled along by Mokumu Kōdō, spoke softly.

"what?"

"I said, put me down."

Qianqiu raised her head, wiped the blood from her lips, and tears welled in her peach blossom eyes, but Mumu Gongdao could see just how determined and resolute she was at that moment.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Real Princess Ji

"My dear lady! Please stop making a scene at a time like this!"

Kōdō was terrified by Chiaki's constant struggle; she was just a child who needed protection, a "weak" chūnin.

His mission was to protect her and help her break through the encirclement. Even if he died, Qianqiu had to be safe.

What is she thinking of doing at this moment?
