The former, on the other hand, compresses lightning chakra to its extreme, transforming it into a white blade that can cut through anything!

Not far away, Shiranui Sou and "Yue" watched this scene, both of them showing a look of astonishment.

That's going to be really cool!

"Ai!!"

Just as Ai was about to be killed by this strike, a mournful howl rang out from the side, causing the "Wolf" captain to frown.

In the next instant, a violent burst of chakra erupted, and a colossal creature suddenly appeared, rushing towards the two and knocking A aside.

Previously, Burubi was only wrapped in a light red chakra cloak, but now his entire body was completely enveloped in a dense chakra interwoven with black and red.

The "Wolf" captain's swift and deadly strike was blocked by the attacker, leaving a gruesome wound on his body, almost disemboweling him.

"Half-tailed beast transformation?" Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed.

This form is undoubtedly a further manifestation of borrowing the power of the tailed beasts.

However, if it is not fully recognized by the tailed beast, this form also puts a great strain on the body.

"Brupie, let's retreat!!"

Ai looked at the wounds on his brother's body, his eyes bloodshot, and his gaze turned to "Wolf" and Shiranui Xiao with hatred.

Although the incident happened suddenly, he still realized that it was Shiranui Sho, who had just disappeared and reappeared, who had brought this evil star to the center of the battlefield.

Therefore, his malice towards Shiranui Sho was even greater than his malice towards "wolf"!

Despite his rugged appearance, Ai was by no means incompetent and made the decision to retreat in a short time.

Two of their companions died, and the mission objective was stolen by the people of Konoha, but these were still within acceptable limits.

However, if this candidate Raikage and Brubi, this Jinchūriki, were to perish here, such a loss would definitely severely damage the Cloud Village's vitality!

Lightning flashed across his body, stimulating his muscles as he sped off into the distance.

While in a semi-tailed beast form, Brubi tried his best to maintain his sanity and followed Ai in a swift escape.

Just as "Moon" was about to step forward to stop him, "Wolf" reached out and blocked his way.

"Alright, our mission is now complete," he said in a deep voice.

It's not that the "wolf" doesn't want to chase.

If the Eight-Tails were to go completely berserk when cornered, even he would find it troublesome.

"Wolf" glanced at the red-haired girl lying in a circle of black smoke not far away, then looked at Shiranui Xiao and said.

"Dark, you did a great job this time."

"Of course."

Shiranui Sho nodded slightly, her expression calm beneath the mask, and she did not feign humility in the face of praise.

He truly deserves the MVP award this time.

The mission objective was something he had stolen from the other side, and then he single-handedly restrained A, whose strength surpassed that of an ordinary elite Jonin.

Finally, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to connect the two battlefields, sending "Wolf," who wielded his Flying Thunder God Kunai, from a thousand miles away to this battlefield.

If Brubi hadn't unleashed the power of the Tailed Beast at the last moment, the future Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure would probably have had to be replaced.

In short, this wave can't be done without him!

……

Konoha Hospital.

Kushina Uzumaki arrived in a hurry, her bright red hair swaying like flames with her large movements.

She counted the numbers of each ward and finally found the one she was looking for.

As she entered the ward, her gaze settled on the pale face of the girl sitting on the hospital bed.

"Yona!"

Kushina was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The Whirlpool Clan girl, who was leaning against the hospital bed with a somewhat silent and wary expression, also opened her eyes wide, her surprise and sorrow intertwined in them.

"Kushina!"

Two girls with long red hair hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces.

Beside them, the Third Hokage stood quietly, not disturbing the two Uzumaki clan girls who were reunited after a long separation.

Not long after, another figure was helped into the ward.

When Mito Uzumaki, who had been helped here by Tsunade, saw the two red-haired girls embracing and weeping, a look of pity and sorrow appeared on his aged face.

Chapter 53 The Art of Spirit Transformation is in Hand! [Please Read On!]

Reuniting with relatives and friends in a foreign land brings joy, but it also inevitably stirs up past sorrows.

Kushina and Uzumaki Ona, both members of the Uzumaki clan from Uzumaki Village and of similar age, have been childhood playmates.

The two had been separated for many years since the destruction of Wochao Village, and only today have they reunited.

Kushina Uzumaki also learned about her past experiences from Ona ​​Uzumaki.

Unlike Kushina Uzumaki, Ona Uzumaki was not fortunate enough to be rescued by Ara.

During her escape, she infiltrated the cargo hold of a merchant ship and traveled to the Land of Hot Springs on the other side of the sea.

Then, she went into hiding and wandered around the Land of Hot Springs, living in constant fear.

Whenever there are more signs of local ninjas, she immediately hides and goes to another town to work and live.

However, with Yunyin's deliberate search, she realized that her supposedly low-key lifestyle could not conceal her whereabouts.

When she was discovered by Ai and others from Yunyin, she had just started working as a waitress at the hot spring inn.

On the windowsill of the ward, the Third Hokage and Tsunade stood side by side, not disturbing Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, and Ona Uzumaki as they talked.

"That child from the Uzumaki clan, was it brought back by that kid?"

Tsunade suddenly asked a question out of the blue, which made the Third Hokage pause for a moment.

"That kid is..."

The Third Hokage didn't react for a moment, but after going through the identities of the personnel who carried out the mission in his mind, he suddenly realized and replied, "That's right, he deserves the most credit for this mission."

He had read the mission report; the situation was indeed dangerous.

Hatake Sakumo heads to the location of another group of Cloud Ninja, but the real core AB team and mission objective are encountered by the weaker Shiranui Sho and others.

In the worst-case scenario, both Shiranui Sou and "Tsuki" will perish, and the mission target, Uzumaki Ona, will be abducted by Kumogakure.

But reality gave him a pleasant surprise.

Shiranui Sho restrained A, saving the mission target, and even cooperated with Hatake Sakumo to almost kill the candidate Raikage of Kumogakure.

This will be another memorable achievement in the Shiranui Ninja Files.

However, the Third Hokage was soon surprised and glanced at his disciple before asking.

How did you find out about this?

"That kid Xiao has been asking me to teach him super strength lately. He took leave a few days ago, and not long after he came back today, I heard that Uzumaki Ona has entered the village."

This information is enough for Tsunade to make a relatively reasonable inference.

"I'm looking for you to learn superhuman strength..."

The Third Hokage was surprised by this.

However, he glanced at Tsunade and nodded with satisfaction.

"Tsunade, it might be a good thing for you to interact more with young people."

Ever since Rope Tree's death, Tsunade has become even more aged than her much older teacher.

The psychological trauma that led to the neglect of these "medical masters" is also a great loss to Konoha.

He was happy to see that Tsunade intended to change her lifestyle.

"Hey, old man, I'm young too, you know!" Tsunade raised her eyebrows.

She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "For the village, Uzumaki Oona and Kushina have the same strategic significance, right?"

"That's right."

The Third Hokage did not deny this, but he had another explanation: "Kushina was a part of the village, and so will Oona. The village will be the place where these seedlings will grow strong."

"But in crucial moments, the village also needs their contributions."

"..."

These words caused Tsunade to furrow her brows slightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She didn't respond, but instead steered the conversation toward her real purpose.

A knowing smile played on her lips as she said meaningfully:

"In that case, since Shiranui Sho has made significant contributions to the village, shouldn't she also be rewarded?"

"The commendation is deserved." The Third Hokage nodded slightly.

He thought for a moment and said, "I heard that he defeated Uchiha Fugaku some time ago. Judging from his strength, he already meets the standards of an ANBU squad leader."

"However, he is still young and lacks experience, so I did not consider promoting him before. But based on his merits this time, perhaps he can be promoted exceptionally?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade chuckled and said with dissatisfaction, "Old man, don't talk about such unrealistic things."

"Whether you're a member of the Dark Guard or a squad leader, aren't you still working for you?"

She stretched out her right hand and rubbed her index, middle, and thumb together in front of the Third Hokage, meaning she wanted something substantial.

"Then what do you think it should be?" the Third Hokage asked, puzzled.

Tsunade said directly, "Make me a copy of the training method for the Spirit Transformation Technique."

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage was taken aback at first, and then his brows furrowed deeply.

“You should know something about this technique. The training method is harsh and dangerous, and it could ruin that child,” he said in a deep voice.

The art of spiritualization is undoubtedly a forbidden art.

A shadow fell over Tsunade's eyes, but a sentence she couldn't forget from when she was being treated at the camp years ago seemed to echo in her ears.

He couldn't possibly have died here!

Tsunade's eyes gleamed slightly, and she slammed her hand on the windowsill of the ward.

"He can't just be ruined like this!"

"Tsunade, you..."

The Third Hokage stared blankly at his student.

He seemed to see Tsunade again, a few years ago, before she had lost too much in the war.

A mix of emotions—gratification, surprise, bewilderment, and shock—made him subconsciously reach for his pipe for a puff.

But remembering that this was a hospital ward, he stopped himself from doing so.

The Third Hokage had already made a decision in his mind about whether or not to grant the Spirit Transformation Technique.

He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Is Shiranui Sho very special to you?"

"After all, I am now considered half of his master."

Tsunade spoke calmly, but her eyes seemed to dart away, no longer meeting the Third Hokage's gaze.

……

A cool breeze swept by, once again ruffling the hair of the woman and the boy.

On the porch in front of Tsunade's house, the two sat side by side, separated only by a pot of sake.

"You've made great progress; you'll be ready to graduate soon."

Gang's toes were slightly raised, and the white insteps of his feet shone like jade.

Shiranui Sho nodded slightly and said, "I still have to thank Tsunade-sama for her guidance."
