Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 39 Tsunade: Are the village's ninjas blind?

—Swoosh

A figure appeared behind the reanimated ninja controlled by Orochimaru and bowed respectfully to him.

"Lord Orochimaru, I have completed the task you assigned me."

Orochimaru said gently, "You've worked hard. Go to the Land of Rice Fields first; I've made arrangements there."

"yes!"

Glancing at the departing letter, Hinata Yu asked, "Is telling me where you're going a form of invitation?"

"If you wish, Yu-kun, you are welcome to come after you leave Konoha. I would be very happy to do so."

Orochimaru smiled, his figure gradually blurring. "I was worried you would directly attack Tsunade to obtain the Split Technique, but it seems I was overthinking it. See you on the battlefield."

If he hadn't intervened, Hyuga Yu might not have come back...

A cage... Konoha is indeed a good cage; birds that don't want to fly can be kept here.

As Orochimaru disappeared, Hyuga Yu's consciousness gradually withdrew from the Edo Tensei body.

If it weren't for Orochimaru, he really wouldn't have paid attention to this area.

Some things, once started, can't be stopped.

After this incident, Tsunade will inevitably push the Hyuga branch family to remove the Caged Bird Seal to prevent anyone from targeting her and the Hyuga again because of it.

Konoha will become the perfect birdcage and storage base for experimental subjects.

As for the Split Technique, both Tsunade and Danzo would teach it to him.

"Then, the rest is up to you, Clan Chief of the Underworld. I suppose you also want to witness the fate of the main family. Perhaps, it's not as bad as you think."

Hyuga Meigoku regained control of his body and headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory with a complex expression.

Over there, not long after Tsunade demonstrated the Split Technique to Danzo, the upheaval began.

……

"Having caused such a commotion, Danzo has no intention of covering it up."

Arriving at the cemetery in Konoha, Orochimaru heard a rumbling sound coming from afar, shook his head, and went inside.

Danzo was not worried at all about the subsequent reckoning.

His words were ruthless, but the tone of the battle was set from the moment he said he would leave Tsunade behind.

With the Root's expanding power, stopping Tsunade would be no problem at all.

How many years has Tsunade suffered from hemophobia?

More than ten years!

Moreover, she is a taijutsu ninja. After ten years without fighting or seeing blood, even if Tsunade's physical condition remains at its peak, her strength will decline.

As long as he doesn't kill Tsunade, Danzo still has room to maneuver. Sarutobi-sensei is sentimental and will protect him even if the Fourth Hokage questions him.

Is this considered a form of favoritism?

If you wanted to leave Konoha, what would you do?

Will you spare me, or kill me?

While pondering, Orochimaru arrived at the Second Hokage's grave and gathered information about him. Then, he manipulated an impure ninja into a coffin and vanished from the spot.

Having taken everything else I needed, let's now focus on dealing with the battlefield.

……

"Spiritual communication!"

"Lady Tsunade." The enormous body of the slug was suddenly summoned by Tsunade, bursting open the passage between Root and the outside world, revealing itself directly in Konoha and separating Tsunade from the Root ninjas. "What happened? What happened to Shizune?"

Her gentle voice was like a spring breeze, helping Tsunade recover some of her mental energy after being tormented by the illusion.

"Jingyin is fine. I'll need you to keep an eye on her for me from now on."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

The live slug said softly, then split into several individuals that wrapped up Silent and quietly carried her away from its tail.

After sending Shizune away, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and looked coldly at Danzo below.

Neither of them intended to communicate. The Root members, including the Yamanaka and Nara ninjas, joined forces to try and subdue the live slug and her.

With Konoha's strong foundation, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage even when facing a powerhouse like Tsunade.

Tsunade was aware of this, and while dodging the Shadow Binding Technique and Mind Transfer Technique, she fought the ninjas at the edge, without considering her superior strength and having any intention of stepping into the encirclement.

She had personally witnessed how formidable the secret techniques of the various Konoha ninja clans were; having once served as a commander on one side of the battlefield, she knew that even when they joined forces, they could suppress the Tailed Beasts. At this point, fighting the Root alone was not a good option.

The enormous body of the slug appeared here, and any ninja in the village who wasn't blind could see it.

Tsunade skillfully dodged the attack, but the slug, due to its size and slow movement, was directly hit by the Shadow Binding Technique.

The live slug was taken aback.

"Lady Tsunade, why are you fighting against the ninjas of Konoha?"

My attention was completely focused on Tsunade and Shizune, but now that I look around, aren't all the ninjas from Konoha? Is this a civil war?

Or did Lady Tsunade defect?

"It's related to the Split Technique. I'll tell you the details later. Now, please help me stop them."

Tsunade weaved through the buildings, dodging over a hundred shuriken. Seeing several taijutsu ninjas surrounding her, she didn't hesitate to slam her fist into the ground.

Boom!

With a crack, the ground of the entire street began to shake, and an exaggerated crack extended to the surrounding buildings. Then, rubble flew everywhere, and the ninjas who had surrounded the area were directly blasted away.

"it is good."

The slug, understanding the situation, stopped asking questions and split apart, with countless individuals emerging from all parts of its body, instantly covering the ground and spitting acid at the Root ninja.

The person who signed the contract with her was Tsunade. The Konoha ninjas had nothing to do with her. They were just closer to each other in the past because of Tsunade, but of course they didn't need to care now.

The slug's movements left the Root ninjas at a loss for what to do.

This immortal's splitting technique has been imprinted into her body's instincts. Whenever her body suffers a fatal injury, it will split on its own, making her completely unkillable.

Knowing this, the Root ninjas felt that attacking was not an option, nor was not attacking, and they were in a dilemma.

"Use the Four Purple Flame Formation!"

Aburame Ryoma frowned and gave the order.

Eight Jonin stepped forward, forming two groups to create the Four Purple Flame Formation, but they still couldn't trap all the live slug clones.

The creatures trapped inside spewed liquid at the barrier. The barrier and the acid ignited upon contact, burning each other as they tried to obliterate one another. The clones outside ignored the incoming attacks and continued to spew acid at the ninjas who had set up the barrier.

The eight Jonin, sensing the rapid depletion of their chakra and seeing the approaching highly corrosive liquid, turned pale and were forced to abort their ninjutsu.

How come I never realized before that this summoning beast was so troublesome?

It splits upon impact; although its attack method is singular, it is an attack using Sage Chakra, which is extremely corrosive.

With the opponent's chakra comparable to that of a tailed beast, even if they don't dodge the attacking acid, the barrier they set up will eventually be forced to disappear because their chakra is exhausted.

With the help of the live slug relieving a lot of pressure, Tsunade also had time to observe Danzo's location, only to find that the instigator had already left the scene, and that Aburame Ryoma had taken over the command.

Do you really believe these people can hold her back?

Tsunade's face darkened as she glanced at the first few people she had defeated.

Those were ninjas from the Nara clan in the mountains. Because it was too difficult to defend against them in the midst of a chaotic battle, she spotted them first.

Some people's masks were also removed, revealing their faces underneath.

Although they all had the Root Seal in their brains, they were all people she knew and were not Root ninjas before!

These people were forcibly taken in as subordinates by Danzo!

How many people like this are there among the Root ninjas?

Just by thinking about it, Tsunade couldn't bring herself to kill them, and without killing them, it would be difficult to get rid of them.

Danzo really has her cornered...

Moreover, are the village ninjas really blind?

There hasn't been a single reinforcement yet!
