Chapter 651: Plotting Against Tsunade!
Chapter 651: Plotting Against Tsunade!
"Regeneration Creation: Hundred Hero Technique!"
Tsunade's Yin Seal on her forehead transformed into a Curse Mark, spreading across her skin.
After activating this S-Class forbidden technique, Tsunade launched another offensive, disregarding the harm she might inflict upon herself.
During the duration of the Hundred Hero Technique, any injuries she sustained would heal rapidly, making her virtually invincible.
Hyuga Shizuki showed no concern.
Long ago, Douhei had already shared some intelligence about the strong ninjas in the Ninja World with them.
At the very least, it was a rough outline!
For instance, the information included Jiraiya's Sage Mode, Orochimaru's Curse Mark and life-saving abilities, Tsunade's Yin Seal and Hundred Hero Technique, and more.
After all, his prophetic ability was an open secret, and Douhei wouldn't keep it hidden.
The most crucial aspect was that this information didn't involve Otsutsuki, so its disclosure had minimal impact on the plot.
"Ha!"
Tsunade ignored the palm strike coming her way and countered with a punch.
She wasn't afraid of getting injured now.
The problem was that she didn't notice the green light ball in Shizuki's hand.
As long as the light ball hit its target, it could drain or control their chakra.
Intelligence Advantage!
Shizuki knew quite a bit about Tsunade's information, but Tsunade had no idea about her, giving Shizuki a significant advantage.
Moreover, she wasn't afraid of attacks.
Bang!!
In the air blast, Shizuki took a Monster Fist.
The ground around them was shattered by the terrifying force.
However, after taking such a heavy punch, Shizuki didn't show any signs of injury.
No! Not only was she unharmed, but even the hat on her head remained intact.
As Tsunade's fist was about to hit her, it was as if something had blocked it.
Feather Robe!
This was the super-defensive ability she had developed.
Aside from consuming a bit more energy, it had almost no drawbacks.
It was like a miniature version of Heaven's Return, redirecting and displacing the force of the Monster Fist to the surroundings, ensuring that even with Tsunade's full-power punch, Shizuki remained unharmed.
"Goodbye!"
Drawing a kunai, Shizuki looked at Tsunade, whose body was being controlled and whose chakra was being frantically drained, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
Anyone who stood in the way of her mission would be killed without hesitation.
This time, Douhei hadn't given any orders prohibiting killing.
Aside from the order not to destroy Konoha, there were no other restrictions.
So, even if it was the Sanin, killing them was an option.
As for the Hundred Hero Technique, it would automatically deactivate once her chakra was depleted.
Pfft! Shizuki thrust the kunai into Tsunade's heart, but the sensation in her hand felt off, as if she had stabbed into a marshmallow instead of flesh and blood.
Looking down, she saw a slug the size of a pillow blocking Tsunade's chest, the kunai piercing its body but with no effect.
Slug!
It was immune to physical attacks.
Its body could freely disperse and re-form.
"When?"
This thought flashed through Shizuki's mind.
She hadn't noticed when the opponent had used the Summoning Technique.
"Tsunade-sama!"
The slug's body quickly expanded, enveloping Tsunade within.
"Troublesome!"
Shizuki knew that against the slug, physical attacks were mostly useless, even her Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion wouldn't work.
It was like a stream of water; even if it was cut, it would quickly recover.
Substitution techniques would have a better effect.
However, Shizuki didn't spend time on ninjutsu and wasn't proficient in high-level ninjutsu.
"Shadow Bind Technique!"
At that moment, a pitch-black shadow rushed along the ground, forcing Shizuki to abandon her attempt to kill Tsunade and instead dodge the shadow on the ground.
It was Nara Shikaku! And not just him, but also Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Chouza.
After returning to Konoha, Tsunade could not only boost the villagers' morale but also quickly heal the injured ninjas, which was her strategic role.
So, the strong ninjas who had suffered defeat in the Land of Wind were now fully recovered and ready to fight again.
"Hollow Wave!"
Hyuga Shizuki immediately launched this long-range attack.
Fast, lethal, and with minimal consumption!
It was the perfect attack, combining the experience she gained from Douhei and Uchiha Meika, along with her own significant efforts.
Whoosh! Amidst the subtle sound of tearing air, the attack was about to hit Nara Shikaku.
"Magnification Technique!"
A giant palm appeared in front of Shikaku, taking the brunt of the Hollow Wave.
Pfft! Blood splattered everywhere.
A blood hole the size of an egg appeared on the palm.
However, this allowed Shikaku to narrowly escape with his life.
The giant hand slowly retracted.
It was Akimichi Chouza! As the squad's tank, he naturally stepped forward to protect his teammate.
The Magnification Technique wasn't just about enlarging the palm; more importantly, it enhanced defensive capabilities.
As the body expanded, strength and resilience increased accordingly.
The larger the size, the more vulnerable to attacks, which the Akimichi Clan was well aware of. Therefore, under the effect of the Magnification Technique, defense skyrocketed, enabling it to withstand the strike.
"Be careful, their long-range attacks have incredible penetration power!"
Nara Shikaku reminded the others in his squad.
Indeed, their squad hadn't come alone; they had also brought along a group of ANBU, including Gai, Kakashi, Tenzou, Ashama, and other key village forces, as well as Gaara, Tintin, Inuzuka Kiba, Naruto, Sasuke, and Shizune, the Leaf Village Twelve Elite.
It was almost a full-scale mobilization.
Yes, the Leaf Village Twelve Elite, under Douhei's influence, had already transformed Hinata, Neji, and Hinode into the shape of the Skyguard Tower, and there was no turning back.
"You can't escape now. If you surrender, we from Konoha guarantee you'll receive decent treatment!"
Shikaku spoke up to buy time.
Tsunade was currently being enveloped by Slug and taken away from the battlefield.
"Akatsuki never has the habit of abandoning missions. So, if you want to get past me, come prepared to die!"
Hyuga Shizuki didn't bother with Tsunade because, with Slug's protection, she couldn't deal with them in a short time.
Unfortunately, this time, the 'first strike' using information disparity didn't work, and next time they met, the opponent would definitely be prepared for this move, making it impossible to employ any 'exchange of injuries' tactics.
"Give Hinata back!"
Naruto suddenly pounced forward, but was fortunately held back by Shizune and Chouji on either side.
These people only knew that the Hyuga Clan had been taken, and the village was launching a pursuit, so Naruto's attitude wasn't surprising.
Hyuga Shizuki almost laughed out loud under her hat; the opponent's behavior was a bit too naive.
No, it was downright foolish.
Their survival was solely due to the opponent's status as the Hokage's son and Jinchuriki.
Without these, they would have died long ago; survival was out of the question.
Ordinary people might survive by being a little foolish, but for ninjas to be this naive and stupid, survival was practically impossible.
"What an impudent brat!"
Hyuga Shizuki not only didn't answer Naruto but also mocked him.
Yes, with so many people present, Naruto's identity and status didn't grant him the right to speak, and he might easily disrupt the plan, making it indeed impudent to speak.
However, Konoha was notoriously biased.
Ordinary ninjas engaging in such behavior would not only face severe punishment but also endless trouble.
But for 'Prince Naruto,' it was just 'childish mischief,' and he would only be fined a few drinks, with no consequences if he dared again.
"Attack! Be cautious of their reinforcements!"
Nara Shikaku didn't hesitate to give the order to advance.
He only knew that a Hyuga Clan member had escaped, so he wasn't willing to waste time here.
Of course, they had also sent people to flank and delay the village's pursuit, and once they dealt with the opponent, they could regroup.
"Chidori!"
Kakashi was the first to charge forward.
Tenzou and Gai assisted from the sides, forming a triangular formation, while Ashama disappeared from his original position.
In an instant, Hyuga Shizuki found herself surrounded.
Her response was simple.
She directly launched a full-scale attack.
