In the dimly lit wine cellar, Shizune held Tun Tun tightly in her arms.

Did they kill the village elder?

It seems to be talking about Kumogakure (Cloud Village)? Is Kumogakure currently hostile to Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village)? Or are they ninjas from another major power? Why are they here?

One question after another kept lingering in Jingyin's mind.

She felt time was passing very slowly, and the rich aroma of wine made her brain feel heavy.

Pat, pat, the sound of footsteps slowly pressed down on the silent heart.

If I'm discovered, will I die?

Her face gradually turned pale.

Pat, pat, pat.

The footsteps disappeared immediately.

"Got you."

Shizune looked up in alarm.

Lady Tsunade... probably can't save me.

Chapter 74 The Fragile Tsunade

Shizune looked up and collided with a pale face, as if battered by wind and sand.

Chakra gathered in his palm, and he instinctively threw a punch.

Bang.

A soft sound.

Sandy used two fingers to block the silent attack.

"He has chakra, so he's probably not an ordinary person."

call out--

Silently, her small mouth opened slightly.

A thousand needles flew swiftly toward Sandy's eyes.

"Playing with hidden weapons in front of Sunagakure?"

Easily grab the thousand sticks, toss them aside, and they make a clinking sound.

"Ma Qi, go check if there are any secret passages. That Yun Yin must have left through some kind of secret passage."

Ma Qi, who was standing next to him, nodded and was about to leave when he turned back and pointed to Jingyin.

"Teacher, no, Captain, what about her..."

Shaki glanced at Maki, who was licking his lips, and knew all too well the filth in his heart.

"No, this is wartime. Unidentified ninjas must be brought back to the village for questioning."

"I am a ninja from Konoha!"

Upon hearing that she was to be taken back to Sunagakure for interrogation, Shizune, having attended the Ninja Academy, knew how terrifying that would be, and quickly invoked the name of Konoha.

"Konoha?"

Shaji squinted.

Shizune quickly took out her headband.

"It is indeed from Konoha."

The puppeteer Jonin picked up the headband and touched it, speaking in a hoarse voice. Having experienced the Second Shinobi World War, he knew all too well what Konoha's headbands looked like.

"Then let's kill him."

"I think so too."

The puppeteer Jonin and Saki exchanged a glance. Lightning crackled from Saki's hand, while the puppeteer Jonin summoned a puppet that crackled with electricity.

"It seems we really are thinking the same thing."

"Each each other."

After completing the investigation and confirming that there were no hidden passages, Ma Qi returned and looked at the two people emitting electric sparks, somewhat puzzled.

"Captain, aren't we supposed to take him back for interrogation?"

"No need. She's a Konoha ninja. At her age and with her strength, she wouldn't know any information. She's probably an orphan raised by Konoha."

Sandy gestured towards Silent as he answered.

"But now that we've already started a war with Kumogakure, isn't it inappropriate to attack Konoha as well?"

Ma Qi was somewhat puzzled.

The Hidden Cloud Village is already a handful for them, and if you add the Hidden Leaf Village right next door, how many heads does the Hidden Sand Village have?

"Aren't we the Hidden Cloud Village?"

Under the electric light, Shaji smiled and asked a question in return.

Ma Qi immediately understood.

These orphaned ninja agents are mainly used for spying on other villages; they don't know much about their own village. If they are brought back and discovered by Konoha, they might really be subjected to a mixed double attack.

But if the filth is given to Yunyin, given the barbarians' thought process, they would probably think they killed a little brat on a whim.

Konoha: You dare kill my ninja?

Yunyin: What happened?

"Oops, you overheard this by accident. Looks like you can't die too easily."

Shaki's face became increasingly distorted.

If a horse can be trained to be abnormal, how normal can you expect it to be?

The next moment, lightning accompanied a hand that pierced straight down towards the top of Silent's head.

Silently closed her eyes tightly.

boom---

The house collapsed with a crash, and a figure smashed through the outer wall.

Such a brutal action, is it from the Hidden Cloud Village?

Saki's mind raced, but his hands continued moving without slowing down.

"Smash Varudo!"

Time, stop!

The electric arc remained eerily distorted and still in the sand-based palm.

A distortion occurred in the originally dark wine cellar.

Lin Yi's shadow clone emerged from the shadows, with Shi Jie's dazzling figure floating beside him.

"Muda!"

In the blink of an eye, he was at Shaki's side. Ignoring the electric arcs on Shaki's hand, he extended a finger and gently flicked it, changing the angle of the hand that was originally aimed at the head, so that it was now aimed at the chest.

According to Lin Yi's calculations, it should puncture the silent lungs.

A normal ninja would definitely be dead, but Tsunade has already arrived. As the number one medical ninja in the ninja world, a mere fatal wound, and only a lung injury at that, should not be a big problem.

When that time comes, Tsunade will find that there is war no matter where she hides, and then Lin Yi will jump out and fight alongside her to defeat the enemy.

Let's add some motivational platitudes about how running away is useless and facing things bravely.

Once it's all over, even if we don't get our hands on it when we get back to the village, getting a spell won't be a problem at all after all this.

Time continues to flow.

Lin Yi's shadow clone also disappeared on the spot due to exhaustion of chakra.

stab-

Blood splattered on Saji's face.

"Ok?"

I was clearly aiming for the head.

Shaji withdrew his blood-stained right hand and stared in bewilderment at Shizune lying on the ground.

"Puyo! Puyo!"

The piglet jumped around anxiously in place.

"roll!"

He kicked the pig away and turned his body sternly.

Such a powerful chakra fluctuation.

boom---

The walls of the wine cellar were also dismantled, sunlight dispelled the darkness, several wine jars were smashed, and the spilled wine mixed with blood, slowly flowing to Tsunade's feet.

"Blood…?!"

"Tsunade?!"

Tsunade and the puppeteer collapsed to the ground at the same time.

"Tsunade, one of the Sannin?"

Shaki narrowed his eyes, his expression... something felt off.

Hearing the noise, Shizune laboriously twisted her neck and looked at Tsunade.

Having lost her lungs, she was unable to speak, and blood kept gushing from her mouth and nose, which could only be seen from the shape of her mouth.

"Hurry, Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade stood up shakily, but her limbs were so weak that she could hardly use her chakra.
