Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

Immediately after, Konan gave Kushina another red flower.

“Sister Kushina, this is for you!”

Kushina took the red flower, her face beaming with a smile, and pressed her forehead against Konan's.

“Thank you, Konan.”

...

Because Tsunade was fully responsible for establishing the medical system of Konoha, she did not go to the front lines to fight against ninjas from other countries in the following month.

Instead, she stayed in the village with Arashi Meion, training medical ninjas.

During this time, Tsunade consulted with Arashi Meion about some issues regarding sealing chakra.

Clearly, Tsunade had already begun researching the ‘Yin Seal.’

Once the ‘Yin Seal’ was successfully researched, the ‘Strength of a Hundred Seal’ and ‘Creation Rebirth,’ based on the ‘Yin Seal,’ would also be developed by Tsunade one after another.

Regarding this, Arashi Meion was not stingy, explaining the principles of the Yin Seal to Tsunade, and incidentally mentioning the Strength of a Hundred Seal and Creation Rebirth.

Helping Tsunade master these two abilities in advance.

Inside Konoha Hospital.

“Meion, does this thing really work?”

Tsunade asked, looking at the crystal ball on the table.

“Of course, it works! No man can say otherwise!”

“Call over those ten female ninjas you trust to receive the inheritance.”

In order to reduce Tsunade's burden, Arashi Meion developed a crystal ball containing most of the basic medical ninjutsu.

However, the crystal ball only had ten inheritance slots.

After receiving Tsunade's notification, ten female ninjas walked into the room.

They lined up to touch the crystal ball and receive the inheritance.

Thus, the first batch of Konoha Village medical system personnel was born.

And these ten people will also become one of the pioneers of the Konoha Village medical system.

At the same time, they will only listen to Tsunade alone and will not be under the jurisdiction of the Hokage.

On the other side, Amegakure in the Land of Rain.

As a country bordering three of the five great nations—the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth—it had suffered greatly in this Second Shinobi World War.

Hanzō of the Salamander was incredibly angered by the threat to his country's sovereignty and the slaughter of his people by ninjas from other villages.

“Damn it, I'm the ‘Demigod of the Shinobi World,’ and you're not giving me any face?”

“In that case, issue the order!”

“Declare war on the Land of Fire, Konoha Village!”

“Declare war on the Land of Wind, Sunagakure!”

“Declare war on the Land of Earth, Iwagakure!”

Although the Land of Rain was small, the overall strength of its Amegakure ninjas was not weak.

Their customs were simple and honest, and their martial spirit was abundant.

In addition to having Hanzō of the Salamander, the Demigod of the Shinobi World.

The Land of Rain simply did not take the mere three of the five great nations seriously!

No matter how many came, the ninjas of the Land of Rain would kill them all!

As the Land of Rain also joined the Second Shinobi World War.

The Land of Rain finally became the main battlefield for various countries.

Hanzō was going crazy with killing.

With a single puff of salamander poison mist, a large portion of the ninjas from various villages were directly killed or injured, and the rest basically had no combat power left.

The ninjas of various countries suffered major blows.

In response, Sunagakure of the Land of Wind directly dispatched the all-around female ninja, Chiyo, who possessed the superb puppetry skills.

To fight Hanzō of the Salamander.

After observing Hanzō of the Salamander's performance in several battles, Chiyo discovered that the interval between each release of poison gas by Hanzō's summon, the salamander, was five minutes.

Not only that, but Chiyo also cracked Hanzō of the Salamander's poison gas, developing many antidotes.

This made Hanzō of the Salamander quite angry.

Standing on the head of the salamander, he cursed:

“You puppet old hag don't have any martial ethics!”

“If you have the ability, don't take the antidote. I want to see if I can poison you to death!”

Chiyo, manipulating dozens of puppets, also cursed:

“Where did this old man with a breathing tube come from?”

“You should go home, lie in bed, and enjoy your old age with a breathing tube.”

The two cursed at each other for a while, but neither of them intended to make a move.

After all, Iwagakure of the Land of Earth and Konoha Village of the Land of Fire were still watching them covetously.

Once either side was seriously injured, they would definitely be eaten clean by Iwagakure and Konoha Village.

While Chiyo was confronting Hanzō of the Salamander, Konoha Village launched a home invasion against Sunagakure.

Hatake Sakumo led a Jōnin squad, starting from the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers, and slaughtered through the entire Land of Rivers.

Then, they drove straight into the heart of the Land of Wind, arriving at Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.

They killed Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

After receiving the news that Konoha had begun a home invasion, Chiyo immediately began to rush back.

But it was still one step too late. By the time she returned to Sunagakure, her son and daughter-in-law were already dead, leaving only her grandson, Sasori.

Chiyo was furious. Manipulating both hands, dozens of puppets shot out instantly, carrying Chiyo towards the direction Hatake Sakumo was fleeing.

The two groups met in the Land of Rivers.

As a man with a Hokage robe on one arm, Hatake Sakumo's strength was conceivable.

Hatake Sakumo drew out the short sword behind him and said:

“The mission is over. You guys go back to the Land of Fire first. Leave this to me!”

After speaking, Hatake Sakumo turned to face Chiyo and the group of ninjas from Sunagakure.

In the end, Chiyo and the Sunagakure pursuit team were defeated and returned.

Hatake Sakumo was injured and successfully escaped.

In this battle, the Shinobi World directly named Hatake Sakumo ‘Konoha's White Fang.’

Resounding throughout the entire Shinobi World.

Because of this battle, the Land of Wind abandoned its war with the Land of Rain and began to focus all its efforts on attacking the Land of Fire.

The Land of Rain also took this opportunity to attack the Land of Fire.

In an instant, the Land of Fire became the target of public criticism.

Inside the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the information coming from the front lines.

He slammed his palm on the table.

“Are you bullying Konoha Village because we have no one?”

“Withdraw the teams in the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning, and focus all our efforts on attacking the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain!”

The Land of Wind had Chiyo, and Chiyo's puppets were poisonous.

The Land of Rain had Hanzō, and Hanzō's summon was poisonous.

If they wanted to gain an advantage in the battles against these two countries, antidotes were a must.

If only there was a medical team...

Hiruzen Sarutobi then realized the importance of the medical system.

Had he known this earlier, he should have started building a medical unit sooner.

Now, the only people in Konoha Village who were considered skilled in medical ninjutsu were Koharu Utatane and Tsunade...

Koharu Utatane was now a high-level advisor in Konoha and could not go to the front lines.

What about Tsunade, who was currently building the Konoha medical system?

It seemed a little too risky to let her go to the front lines.

If she died on the front lines, not only would Konoha Village be finished, but the entire Shinobi World would be doomed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly found himself in a situation where there was no one to use.

This was difficult...

More than half a year after the start of the Second Shinobi World War, the foundation of Konoha's medical system had been laid, and all that was needed was steady development.

Inside Tsunade's room, Tsunade lay on Arashi Meion's body.

She whispered:

“Meion, I want to go to the front lines.”

“If you want to go to the front lines, then go to the front lines.”

“Eh?” Tsunade was a little surprised.

She thought Arashi Meion would not allow her to go to the front lines.

“Aren’t you afraid that something dangerous will happen to me?”

“Of course, I’m afraid,” Arashi Meion said, stroking Tsunade’s smooth, white back.

“But wouldn't it be fine if I went with you?”

“With me around, what are you afraid of?”

The next day, Lan Mingang entrusted Konan to Kushina's care.

"Mingang-nii, where are you going?" Kushina asked, holding Konan's hand with a puzzled expression.

"I'm going to the front lines with Tsunade."

"The front lines?" Upon hearing that he was going to the front lines, Kushina exclaimed excitedly:

"I want to go too!"

"No! Stay obediently in Konoha with Mikoto and Nonoyu, and wait for us to return."

Seeing that Lan Mingang wouldn't let her go to the front lines, Kushina had no choice but to give up.

"Alright then... be careful."

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon learning that Tsunade was going to the front lines, agreed without a second thought.

Although the foundation of Konoha's medical system had been laid, not a single medical ninja had been trained yet.

Konoha's front lines were still stretched thin.

Moreover, they still hadn't broken the poisons of the two old dogs, Chiyo and Hanzo, and they couldn't gain any advantage in direct confrontations.

This gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a headache.

If Tsunade could go to the front lines and break the poisons of these two, the pressure on Konoha would be greatly reduced.

The ninja volunteers from Danzo's side were also a major drain, with hundreds of ninjas already dead due to Hashirama's cells.

If they couldn't come up with anything, he would have to order the termination of Danzo's research.

...

After arranging matters for Konan, Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu, Lan Mingang went to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers with Tsunade.

Great nations fight, small nations suffer. The Land of Rivers, sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, was freely entered and exited by ninjas from these two countries.

It had already chosen to give up.

Since it couldn't resist, it would learn to enjoy it.

Sunagakure of the Land of Wind received word that Konoha's Princess Tsunade was heading to the front lines.

After deliberation, they decided to send someone to intercept Tsunade.

"Use every means possible to intercept Tsunade on the way."

"We must not let her reach the front lines!"

"Yes!" Hundreds of Sunagakure jonin, led by the Third Kazekage, Akakaze no Suna (the original work didn't give a name, just made one up.), were traveling at full speed, bypassing the center of the battlefield, and entering the Land of Fire from the flank to intercept Tsunade.

Konoha likes to carry out sneak attacks?

Then Sunagakure would do the same, with the "strongest Kazekage in history" leading a sneak attack on Konoha to intercept Konoha's Princess Tsunade.

Just asking, are you afraid?

On a wasteland within the Land of Fire, hundreds of Sunagakure ninjas had completed their ambush.

Waiting only for Tsunade's arrival.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Akakaze no Suna began converting the iron sand after arriving in the Land of Fire.

At this time, hundreds of tons of iron sand had been buried beneath this wasteland.

With these hundreds of tons of iron sand, even if the Third Hokage came, Akakaze no Suna was confident in taking him down.

A few kilometers away from the Sunagakure group, Lan Mingang stopped Tsunade.

"Tsunade!"

Seeing Lan Mingang stop, Tsunade also stopped and asked:

"What's wrong, Mingang?"

"There's danger ahead that you can't handle. Leave it to me."

"You can wait here!"

After saying that, Lan Mingang used the Transformation Technique to transform into Tsunade.

He ran in the original direction.

Tsunade stayed where she was and chose a higher earthen pillar. She jumped up and watched the direction Lan Mingang left.

Tsunade wasn't too worried about Lan Mingang's safety.

Being able to make Konoha's top combat power lose their fighting ability with just his aura.

Tsunade really couldn't think of anyone in this ninja world who could hurt Lan Mingang.

Tsunade wanted to see who was ambushing her in front and what kind of ability Lan Mingang would use to deal with the ambushers.

The Sunagakure ninjas hidden in the ground saw that 'Tsunade' had entered the ambush circle.

They instantly leapt out of the ground.

Surrounding Lan Mingang layer by layer.

Nearly a hundred puppets and attacking ninjutsu came howling.

Not only that, but the ground also began to surge.

Turning from the original yellow earth into black iron sand.

The Third Kazekage, Akakaze no Suna, stepped on the iron sand, spread his arms, and raised his hands high.

"Magnet Release!"

"Iron Sand Grand Burial!"

The black iron sand rose from the ground, rising to a height of nearly fifty meters.

It surrounded and buried Lan Mingang in the very center.

On the earthen pillar a few kilometers away, Tsunade looked at the dark black iron sand and was a little worried about Lan Mingang.

"Mingang, he should be alright, right?"

Lan Mingang, whose feet were restrained by the black iron sand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He released the Transformation Technique.

The original black pupils also changed into a pair of blood-colored eyes with symmetrical patterns the moment the transformation was released.

"This is?"

Akakaze no Suna felt an ominous premonition in his heart when he looked at Lan Mingang's eyes.

Why do these eyes look a bit like the Mangekyo Sharingan?

"That's right, it's the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"But it's the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!" Lan Mingang raised his head, looked at Akakaze no Suna, and smiled.

Akakaze no Suna was shocked and horrified. This person could actually hear his thoughts!

Although Lan Mingang could activate Susanoo even if he used Mimicry Black Eyes, he decided to mimic it into Mangekyo Sharingan in order to show off.

Just as hundreds of tons of iron sand were about to bury Lan Mingang.

A dark purple chakra, shimmering with specks of fluorescence, instantly surged around Lan Mingang's body.

In just an instant, the iron sand that was about to bury Lan Mingang exploded.

"Gulp..."

The Sunagakure ninjas swallowed, looking at the dark purple giant in front of them that they couldn't see the top of.

They immediately developed megalophobia.

Akakaze no Suna stepped on the black iron sand and looked up at the thousand-meter-high Susanoo.

He stood there in a daze, muttering:

"The Third Force... Susanoo!"

"You have quite the knowledge." Lan Mingang's voice entered Akakaze no Suna's ears from a thousand meters in the air.

"Do you think, if I go to the Land of Wind now, what are the chances that the Land of Wind won't be destroyed?"

Akakaze no Suna looked troubled and uttered two words: "Zero chance..."

Akakaze no Suna was now full of regret. If he had known that Konoha had this kind of monster, as long as he was still the Kazekage, he would never have gone to war with Konoha.

Damn it, Hiruzen Sarutobi is really a bastard, only now taking out this world-destroying weapon.

Would it kill you to take it out earlier?

"Susanoo!" Tsunade looked at the thousand-meter-high dark purple giant and stood up, saying in disbelief.

"If I remember correctly, this Susanoo should be five times the size of Uchiha Madara's Susanoo, right..."

As Hashirama's granddaughter, Tsunade had heard many stories about Uchiha Madara from Hashirama since she was a child.

Among them were those related to Susanoo.

According to Grandpa Hashirama's description, Uchiha Madara's Susanoo was two hundred meters tall.

Completely inferior to True Several Thousand Hands.

But Lan Mingang's is probably able to compete with True Several Thousand Hands.
