Chapter 69 is finished, I was instantly killed.
After dealing with the Rain Ninja in the bamboo forest, Gojo Yoru didn't immediately go to help Tsunade, nor did he check whether the explosion had attracted the attention of the tower.
Instead, he took out a small storage scroll from his large pocket, sealed the corpse's head, and searched the body for an antidote.
Hanzo the Salamander was probably so confident in the venom of the salamander that he never imagined that, apart from himself who had signed a blood pact with the salamander, there would be someone else who could develop a formula to cure the venom.
In addition, the poisonous smoke from the salamanders cannot be completely eliminated even with gas masks. To prevent their subordinates from dying at their own hands, these seven Rain Ninjas wearing vests carried antidotes with them.
Gojo Yoru was lucky today; the dismemberment he had just done didn't destroy the antidote.
"Um?"
After sealing away all the severed heads and collecting all the antidotes, Gojo Yoru continued to retrieve the Flying Thunder God kunai and stones that he had used Earth Instantaneous Movement and Hollowfication to set up a trap in the bamboo forest.
Suddenly, his feet trembled slightly.
Although the tremor was weak and fleeting, Gojo Yoru's expression still turned serious.
An earthquake that occurs out of nowhere is certainly not without reason.
Thinking that the commotion had been noticed and that a large number of Rain Ninja or giant creatures were rushing towards them, Gojo Yoru formed hand seals and closed his eyes to use his sensory technique.
The next second, Gojo Yoru's expression changed drastically.
Without bothering to retrieve the Flying Thunder God kunai and stones, Gojo Yoru first used Hollowfication, then teleported away.
Let's go back to when Gojo Yoru was chasing down the sensory ninja.
Tsunade walked into the entrance connecting to the underground base, and without creating shadow clones to scout ahead, she started running through the corridor.
Because this place has already been invaded.
The hallway was not pitch black; there were lights installed on both sides.
However, the stairs were not smooth, with many places showing signs of explosions and ninjutsu, as well as more than a dozen untreated corpses and a strong smell of blood.
Clearly, the Rain Ninja dared not dispose of the corpses carelessly. Instead, they sealed the entrance, guarded the place, and waited for Hanzo of the Salamander to return.
If Amegakure hadn't been attacked and other places hadn't needed Amegakure ninja, there would definitely be more than seven Amegakure ninja guarding this place.
Having successfully reached the end of the corridor, Tsunade was met with a heavy iron door.
There were no traces of Earth Release ninjutsu on the ground, only charred marks and congealed blood. Recalling the Slug Sage's mention of the damaged barrier, Tsunade's expression brightened with joy: "Great! This place hasn't been looted yet. Iwagakure has really helped us!"
However, the traces around her calmed Tsunade down.
Instead of recklessly breaking down the door, she retreated into the hallway, created a shadow clone, and then held her breath and waited.
boom--
The shadow clone slammed its fist into the iron gate, unleashing a terrifying burst of chakra that dented the gate.
The next second, an even louder explosion rang out.
The iron gate suddenly bulged, then opened up countless small holes, shooting out a pillar of fire formed by countless fire snakes, instantly engulfing the shadow clone and crashing into the corridor wall.
The terrifying heat made Tsunade retreat, a wave of fear washing over her.
Now I understand why the body in the stairwell wasn't disposed of, while the body here has disappeared.
It was burned to ashes!
Thankfully, it wasn't a poison gas attack, so Tsunade stopped holding her breath.
Once the pillar of fire disappeared, Tsunade created another shadow clone and unleashed another punch, finally knocking down the iron gate.
This time the iron gate did not retaliate, and Tsunade quickly went inside.
A secret room, resembling a vault of forbidden arts, immediately came into her view.
Unlike the forbidden arts library, which is full of bookshelves, this place is full of medicine cabinets, as well as a large number of medicines and some instruments.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Time was of the essence, and Tsunade had no time to lament. She formed hand seals again and used the Shadow Clone Technique.
A dozen or so Tsunades immediately began searching the secret room.
The main body uses psychic magic to summon a giant slug.
"Lady Slug, thank you for your trouble," Tsunade said respectfully.
"Lady Tsunade, you're too kind. It's nothing at all."
The Slug Sage once again split into numerous clones, and with the assistance of Shikkotsu-no-Kami's main body, began emptying the secret chamber.
At this moment, Tsunade remained extremely cautious.
Worried that there might be explosive tags or traps under or behind these cabinets, she didn't dare let her shadow clones move them. Instead, she first moved everything she could see and touch to the Wet Bone Forest, and then slowly and violently dismantled the locked cabinets and looted their contents.
"The main body and recipe area have been found!"
At that moment, a shadow clone suddenly shouted.
Tsunade immediately teleported over and, seeing all the sealed scrolls, hurriedly said, "Lady Slug, let's move the things here to Shikkotsu Forest first."
"I see."
Slugs crawled over, each carrying a scroll, and vanished into white smoke.
Enveloped in thick smoke, Tsunade suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet tremble slightly.
Just as she thought she had accidentally triggered a trap, she heard the Slug Sage's warning voice: "Lady Tsunade, run!"
The Slug Sage's warning was timely, but unfortunately, the surrounding smoke and confined space restricted Tsunade.
Before Tsunade could recall the direction of the entrance, the sound of the ground cracking echoed throughout the area.
"roar……"
A hoarse roar from a giant beast created a strong gust of air that dispersed the white smoke.
But the next second, the purple smoke once again engulfed Tsunade's figure.
Finished!
Before being engulfed by the purple smoke, Tsunade saw the giant beast clearly and accidentally inhaled a mouthful of purple smoke. Only this one thought remained in her mind.
The shadow clone and the slug clone also inhaled the poisonous smoke, and then they all turned into smoke and disappeared.
Swah——
Tsunade, whose body was beginning to weaken, whose consciousness was becoming heavy, and whose vision was gradually blurring, vaguely saw a cold glint pierce through the purple smoke and shoot towards her.
With her last bit of strength, Tsunade instinctively leaped backward.
Even so, the cold light still grazed her body.
A knife wound stretched from his left shoulder to his right waist, tearing his Jonin vest as easily as paper, and blood spurted out.
The airflow generated by the swing of the sword dispersed some of the purple smoke, revealing the figure of Hanzo the Salamander hidden in the poisonous smoke.
Having failed to decapitate her with a single strike, Hanzo of the Salamander pressed his advantage, gripping the hilt of his sword with both hands and thrusting it towards Tsunade's heart.
The attack was decisive and ruthless, which is the best interpretation of assassination techniques.
Tsunade, whose consciousness was gradually being consumed by darkness, happened to witness this scene. She felt no fear of death, only a faint sense of regret.
I'm sorry, Nawaki... I'm afraid I won't be able to see the day you become Hokage.
clang!
Just as Tsunade was about to faint, she suddenly heard the sound of metal objects colliding.
Tsunade nestled into a warm embrace, gazing at Gojo Yoru, who was holding her with one arm and wielding the Thunder God Sword in the other, deflecting Hanzo's attack. Her lips moved slightly, but she managed to utter only two words: "Idiot..."
Hanzo the Salamander's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the white-haired boy who had appeared out of nowhere in front of him. He quickly memorized the boy's appearance before leaping back to create distance, preparing to attack only after the poison took effect.
Before he could take any action, the white-haired boy and the unconscious blonde woman vanished into thin air without leaving a trace.
When the poisonous smoke dissipated, the almost completely ransacked secret room was left with only Hanzo the Salamander and the giant salamander.
A few seconds later, a muffled sound coming from inside the gas mask broke the silence.
"Tsunade, and... the Flying Thunder God Technique."
