Chapter 161 The Sleeping Ferocity Awakens, Revealing Its True Form

"Lady Chiyo! Lady Ebizo! Tsunade from Konoha has attacked our camp!"

In the Sand Village camp, Chiyo and her brother, who were tallying the losses and gains of the battle, stood up instantly upon hearing their subordinate's report. Ebizo asked nervously:

"How many people from Konoha have come?!"

Tsunade leading the Konoha ninja to attack their camp was already within their plans, after all, Tsunade was a member of the clan of those ninjas who died at the hands of their Sand Village ninjas.

For three days straight, Konoha remained silent, and Tsunade did not appear in their sights. Just when they had begun to relax their worries, Tsunade led the Konoha ninja to attack?!

Upon hearing Ebizo's question, the Sand Village ninja who was reporting was taken aback, then quickly shook his head and explained, "There's only Tsunade; we haven't found anyone else yet."

Upon hearing this, Chiyo and Ebizo's faces fell. Chiyo said grimly, "Tsunade? Hmph! Do you really think Sunagakure would hesitate to kill her because of her status?"

Although they said that, the siblings did not move to stop her. After all, words are one thing, and thoughts are another. They had to consider Tsunade's identity.

Tsunade was, after all, Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple, and moreover, she was the granddaughter of the god of the ninja world and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Hashirama Senju had already left, but Mito Uzumaki was still living well in Konoha.

"Bang!"

"Boom~ Rumble~"

Just as the siblings hesitated, the ground suddenly trembled. This power caused Chiyo's expression to change again. She knew Tsunade's power very well, after all, they had fought more than once last year.

The fact that Tsunade could cause such a huge upheaval shows that she certainly doesn't intend to hold back at all. If Tsunade continues to cause trouble like this, the Sand Ninja will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Although Chiyo and Ebizo are not particularly afraid of Tsunade's strength, the other Sand Ninja are.

"I'll go stop her."

Seeing his sister's unpleasant expression, Ebizo walked outside on his own initiative. Chiyo nodded and did not stop him. The current situation did indeed require a powerful person to step in and mediate.

I just don't know if my younger brother can stop Tsunade, who seems to have gone mad.

Upon seeing his sister's permission, Ebizo no longer hesitated and quickly headed out of the camp. At this moment, numerous Sand Ninja formed layers of encirclement within the camp, and in the center of the encirclement, Tsunade continuously unleashed her power.

"Painful Heavenly Kick!"

Tsunade planted one foot on the ground, and the Sand Ninja who had barely dodged her fell directly into the crack in the earth. Then, amidst the earth shaking, he was attacked and ground down.

The two sides of the cracked earth are like two millstones, grinding the sand that falls into them into mud as they vibrate.

Seeing such brutality, the surrounding Sand Ninjas paused their attacks and dared not advance. But Tsunade ignored them and, without using Body Flicker Technique or ninjutsu, relied solely on her superhuman strength to quickly rush into the crowd.

The most brutal taijutsu techniques, but with the added strength of a monstrous force, were like the power of a giant, launching the most brutal attacks on the Sand Ninja.

"Bang bang bang~"

The Sand Ninjas who were hit by fists or kicks were sent flying backwards, knocking down row after row of their comrades. The first few comrades caught in the crossfire died instantly from the powerful impact.

"Attack with ninja tools!"

A Sand Village Jonin finally couldn't hold back any longer and gave the order: even though Tsunade was in the middle of the crowd and using ninja tools to attack could very likely injure her comrades, if Tsunade wasn't stopped, then everyone around her would be killed by Tsunade one by one.

"Rustling sound~"

Countless Sand Ninja drew their shuriken or kunai and threw them at Tsunade. Tsunade looked up at the ninja tools flying towards her, neither dodging nor blocking, but stomped her foot on the ground, unleashing a burst of powerful chakra.

The burst of chakra stirred up countless grains of sand, which collided with the incoming ninja tools, changing their flight path and directing them toward the Sand Ninjas near Tsunade.

"Sizzle~"

However, many ninja tools were not deflected, and Tsunade did not pay too much attention to them, only avoiding vital points. The ninja tools hit her armor and knocked it off, while some cut her arms and legs.

"Hit! She can't hold on much longer!"

As a village known for its use of poison, their ninja tools are all coated with poison. When Tsunade was hit by a poisoned ninja tool, the surrounding Sand Ninjas showed expressions of surprise. No matter how strong Tsunade is, she will lose her fighting ability if she is poisoned.

"snort!"

Tsunade snorted angrily, ignoring her wounds and the toxins invading her body, and continued to attack the Sand Ninja. The skin around her wounds began to turn purplish-black, but she did not stop.

At this moment, Ebizo finally arrived and stood in front of Tsunade. As Tsunade's fist came down, he spread his hands, causing Tsunade's fist to pause in mid-air.

Upon closer inspection, however, there were marks on her hands. Tsunade also noticed Ebizo at this moment and said, "Ebizo? Puppet techniques."

Ebizo took a step back, swallowed hard, and suppressed the surging blood and qi within him. Although he had just blocked Tsunade's fist, the transmission of that power had still caused him to suffer subtle injuries.

"Tsunade, leave now. I will not pursue the matter of Konoha's sneak attack today."

After calming down a bit, Ebizo spoke to Tsunade. Hearing the respectful tone in his words, the surrounding Sand Ninja looked puzzled. After all, Tsunade had come to their camp today and killed so many people, yet the higher-ups wanted to release her?!

Could it be that, in the eyes of the higher-ups, the lives of these low-ranking ninjas are so worthless?!

After Ebizo finished speaking, he regretted it a little. As a high-ranking member of the ninja village, he was used to putting on a show. When facing ninjas from other villages, even if he was very unhappy, he would use polite language for the sake of appearances.

But diplomacy is diplomacy, and war is war. Using honorifics to address the enemy on the battlefield is extremely demoralizing. Ebizo has been away from the battlefield for too long; since the start of this war, he has only been on the battlefield once as part of a support team.

Therefore, the habit hasn't changed yet. However, if a few words of respect can reduce Tsunade's anger a little, then it's not a bad deal.

But Tsunade had no intention of backing down. A disdainful look appeared on her face as she said, "Why should I?! Besides, I didn't come here today as a Konoha ninja!"

As she spoke, she pointed to her forehead with her right thumb, where she wasn't wearing a Konoha headband.

When Tsunade forcefully argued that today's actions were personal and had nothing to do with the ninja village, Ebizo's face darkened. If he really wanted to sever ties with Konoha, he wouldn't be able to do it without wearing a headband; he would have to draw a line on his headband to be convincing.

Ebizo took a deep breath, intending to continue negotiating, but Tsunade didn't give him the chance and kicked him directly.

"Painful Heavenly Kick!"

The terrifying power erupted, and even though Ebizo had used chakra threads to block, he was still kicked backward. In such a short time, he didn't have a chance to unseal the scroll and use the puppet.

Seeing that the troublesome Ebizo had disappeared, Tsunade looked at the Sand Ninja whose expressions had become even more solemn and angry. Her disdain had not disappeared, and blue-green chakra light emanated from the wounds on her body.

The toxins that were spreading were stopped in place, and Tsunade moved again. With another burst of speed, Tsunade rushed into the crowd, sending a large group of Sand Ninja flying.

"Slug girl! Don't go too far!"

At this moment, Chiyo couldn't help but come to the battlefield and shouted angrily. Compared to Ebizo's refined words, Chiyo's style of speaking was obviously more battlefield-like.

Hearing the camp commander's words, the Sand Ninja were energized again. Tsunade glanced at the somewhat exasperated Chiyo out of the corner of her eye, but her body showed no hesitation, let alone stopping.

"Bang bang bang!"

Another burst of superhuman strength killed one Sand Ninja after another. Chiyo's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. She flipped her hand and took out a scroll, unfurled the hand seals to release it, and then threw the scroll at Tsunade.

"Seal! The Lion's Roar Shakes!"

"Bang!"

The sealing technique unfolded, and a huge white, alien lion's head appeared, biting Tsunade and slamming her against a nearby rock. The sealing technique extended, pressing Tsunade firmly against the rock.

"As expected of Lady Chiyo!"

Seeing Tsunade's movements sealed, the Sand Ninja cheered. Chiyo looked at Tsunade and said, "Slug Woman! Did you really think we wouldn't dare kill you?!"

"It's not that you don't dare, it's that you simply can't do it!"

Although Tsunade's hands and torso were sealed, she could still move her feet. She lifted her leg and stepped on the ground, causing the ground to crack and cracks to appear in the rocks behind her.

However, under the effect of the sealing technique, even the broken rocks would not disintegrate, continuing to seal Tsunade. Just as the Sand Ninja were about to laugh at Tsunade's futile efforts, Chiyo and the reappeared Ebizo's expressions changed, and Ebizo even said:

"Watch out! Defend!"

"Bang!"

A large amount of chakra emanated from Tsunade's body. Despite the extremely limited space for movement, she unleashed tremendous power, tearing apart the sealing technique with her chakra and monstrous strength.

"Rustling sound~"

The shattered rocks could no longer maintain their shape and exploded completely. Countless fragments of rock, like sharp ninja tools, pierced into the nearby Sand Ninjas. In an instant, the fragments of rock sank into the bodies of the Sand Ninjas.

The irregular pebbles were also blocked after entering the body, and then began to move erratically, leaving deadly cavities in the bodies of the Sand Ninja.

However, after doing all this, Tsunade's complexion was not good, and her lips were slightly pale. Not only had she consumed too much chakra, but the wounds on her body and the surrounding toxins were also spreading rapidly in her body.

Seeing the purplish-black veins appearing on Tsunade's neck, Chiyo snorted and said, "Tsunade, you've lost. Stop struggling!"

"Defeat? Heh. Who do you take me for? I'm Tsunade of the Senju clan!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large amount of chakra surged from Tsunade's body, and the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead glowed slightly. She also formed hand seals, and a strange black jutsu appeared around the diamond-shaped mark.

"Yin Seal - Release!"

"Ninja Art! Creation and Rebirth!"
