Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Clash Between Poisoning and Medicine

Night fell, on the edge of the battlefield, in a makeshift medical tent erected by the Konoha troops.

The Legendary Sannin of Konoha and Captain-Commander Sakumo Hatake were all there, watching Tsunade carefully prepare the medicine.

Impatiently, Jiraiya said, "Tsunade, has the potion been prepared yet? If you don't hurry, Xiaoye and Minato will both be dead!"

Tsunade was completely absorbed in preparing the potion, her forehead covered in beads of sweat. An assistant stood beside her, wiping the sweat from her brow.

Time passed slowly before Tsunade finally put down her work and looked solemnly at the white rat in front of her.

"Inject the toxin into the test subject!" Tsunade coldly ordered her assistant, her eyes never leaving the rat in front of her.

The assistant held the syringe in one hand and quickly injected the purple liquid into the mouse's body.

In no time, dark purple lines spread across the white rat's body, clearly indicating that the toxin had begun to take effect.

"Class One, unleash your medical ninjutsu!"

"learn!"

Instantly, three medical ninjas in white coats gathered their chakra, unique to medical ninjutsu, and enveloped the white rat.

Sweat dripped from their foreheads.

"The toxins have been suppressed outside the heart area!" one of the medical ninjas reported to Tsunade.

Tsunade then slowly closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Inject antidote number 17!"

Antidote No. 17 had failed sixteen times before.

Chiyo was the most outstanding poison expert in Sunagakure. Even Tsunade couldn't help but admire the middle-aged woman. This was the most difficult poison she had ever encountered since becoming a medical ninja, bar none.

"We must succeed, we must succeed." Jiraiya clenched his fists, sweat dripping from his forehead more than Tsunade and the medical ninjas.

He was extremely anxious. The two people who had been poisoned were both close to him. He thought they were his old friend's sons who had lived in his home for a long time, and he regarded them as his own children.

The other one is Minato Namikaze, who is exceptionally talented and in no way inferior to Orochimaru, who is also a genius. He is my newly accepted disciple!

Whoosh!!

In an instant, a beautiful figure rushed in front of Jiraiya and suddenly punched him in the chest, knocking him out of the tent.

"Jiraiya, try saying that again!"

Tsunade's forehead veins bulged. Ever since Jiraiya arrived, there had been no peace and quiet. Was he the only one worried? Wasn't she worried too?

Jiraiya, lying in a pile of weeds outside the tent, rubbed his chest. Instead of being angry, he quickly rushed back into the tent and looked worriedly at the white mice on the experimental table.

"Lady Tsunade, it's a success! The antidote can neutralize that toxin!" The three medical ninjas showed excited expressions.

For medical ninjas, nothing is more exciting than saving lives!

"I...I understand!" Tsunade's face was calm, but her eyes betrayed her.

She was also very excited!

"Jiraiya, catch!"

Tsunade tossed the two syringes out, and they landed steadily in Jiraiya's hand.

"Thanks, Tsunade!" After thanking them, Jiraiya quickly walked over to Zhang Ye and Minato Namikaze, who were lying on the hospital beds, and tremblingly inserted the needles into their veins.

The grass-green liquid inside slowly seeped into their bodies.

Then Jiraiya shouted at Tsunade, "Why haven't they returned to normal yet?"

boom! !

Tsunade punched Jiraiya on the head and roared, "Are you stupid? They've been poisoned for so long, and the medicine I made isn't a miracle drug. How could it possibly work instantly!"

Then, looking at Zhang Ye and Minato Namikaze lying peacefully on the hospital bed, she said softly, "They should be able to wake up after a while!"

……

Meanwhile, not far from the border of the Land of Wind.

Inside a tent at the Sunagakure military base, Chiyo stared at two bloody human heads laid out on a table.

His once fiery red hair turned completely gray in just one day, and many wrinkles appeared on his face.

She aged more than ten years in an instant; anyone who didn't know her would think she had one foot in the grave.

Several Sand Ninja sat below her, and their expressions were also grim.

The Black Ant Barbarian and Tamaki were the main fighting force of Sunagakure. Their deaths were like losing an arm for Sunagakure.

Chiyo's expression was calm, so calm it was frightening.

The killing intent emanating from her seemed to have solidified, and the Sand Jonin beneath her felt a chilling glint in their eyes.

"Chiyo-sama..."

A Sand Ninja seemed to want to say something, but a Sand Ninja next to him tugged at his sleeve, telling him to be quiet.

"Sakumo Hatake... I will make your Konoha ninja wish they were dead!!"

A chilling voice squeezed out from between Chiyo's teeth as she stared at a Jonin in front of her and pulled a bottle of purple liquid from her pocket.

"Go and put this bottle of poison into the water used by the Konoha ninja!"

"This is……"

The Sand Ninja looked at Chiyo in shock. This poison was the strongest poison Chiyo had developed before the war broke out, and it was known as an incurable poison.

It is said to be made from several of the most venomous creatures in the Land of Wind, making it an absolute must-have for home, travel, and murder.

Looking into Chiyo's crimson eyes, the Sand Ninja nodded and accepted the poison she had given him.

"I will definitely complete the mission!"

"Okay, you may all leave!"

The Sand Ninja in the conference room exchanged glances and fled as if their lives depended on it.

Chiyo looked at her child's head on the table, reached out and closed its wide-open eyes.

"Aman, don't worry, your mother will definitely avenge you!" Chiyo said softly to the head of the Black Ant Barbarian.

"must!!"

The Sand Jonin, who had been given the order by Chiyo, quickly left the base and headed towards where the Konoha ninja were.

Although the Land of Wind is located in the desert, there are still some oases, and the Konoha troops are currently in one of those small oases.

After all, this place is close to a water source, which can solve their drinking water problem.

The Sand Village ninja arrived a kilometer away from the Konoha forces, summoned a vulture, and tied the vial of poison to its talons. He then whispered instructions in its ear.

"Chirp!!"

Upon hearing the orders given by the Sand Sand Ninja, the vulture instantly soared into the sky and quickly arrived above the oasis.

Ding ding!

It used its sharp beak to sever the rope binding its claws, and spat out a sharp needle that shattered the poison bottle filled with poison.

The purple liquid then fell into the lake below and dissolved into the water.

When the Sand Village ninja saw the vulture return, he glanced at the place where Konoha was staying and then hid on the hill.

……

the next day.

"what!!"

A Konoha ninja clutched his neck, his face turning blue, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Just like an infectious disease, one person after another fell to the ground.

"Lady Tsunade, something terrible has happened! All our people have been poisoned! You must go and see them!"

Chapter 100 Taking advantage of my illness to try and kill me

"What exactly is going on?"

Tsunade looked at her subordinate who came to report with a gloomy expression, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart.

"This happened this morning, after I had breakfast," he reported truthfully.

Tsunade put on her medical ninja uniform and walked out of the tent.

"take me!"

Tsunade followed him to the place where the poisoned people were being housed and carefully observed their current condition.

His face was bluish, his lips were purple, and the veins on his body showed black streaks.

"This situation is..." Tsunade's expression hardened, then a smile appeared on her lips as she said to the medical ninja beside her, "Give the order to assemble all medical ninjas!"

"Yes!"

The order was relayed, and soon all the medical ninjas in the base assembled. They looked at Tsunade on the platform and whispered among themselves about the poisoning incident that day.

Tsunade glanced around and said calmly, "In a moment, your captain will give you a prescription. All of you must make the antidote according to the prescription. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The medical ninjas immediately perked up and responded, their expressions towards Tsunade filled with admiration and respect.

"As expected of Lady Tsunade, she found the antidote so quickly!"

"Of course, Lady Tsunade is the pride of us medical ninjas!"

After giving the orders, Tsunade walked solemnly into her tent.

This poisoning incident was definitely caused by Sunagakure. I must find the source of the toxin as soon as possible, otherwise we won't have enough medicinal materials to make an antidote.

"Tsunade, I have a gift for you, but I don't know if you'll like it!"

Jiraiya's voice reached Tsunade's ears from a great distance. Upon hearing it, Tsunade slapped her forehead and looked helplessly at Jiraiya walking in through the door.

Jiraiya was seen carrying a Sand Ninja in his hand.
