Chapter 75 Tsunade: This Is Wood Release? How Is It Possible? ! (Available Tomorrow, Please Pre-Order First!!)
Click! Click!
The corridor was silent, and only breathing could be heard.
Tsunade and Jiraiya were in a stairwell with walls on all four sides. There were only walls and stairs.
The sound of the wind and the burning sound were left far behind, and the silence separated them from the noise outside into two worlds.
Along the way, they could only see many corpses of Mist Ninjas, and apart from that, they could vaguely see traces of movement.
"Sure enough, someone really took away the corpses of the Uzumaki clan."
This discovery made Tsunade and Jiraiya's expressions heavy. The higher they went, the more palpitations they had, as if something unknown and terrifying was waiting for them up there.
"I can hear your heartbeat." Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya behind her.
"Ahem!" Jiraiya choked, scratched his head and laughed, "The atmosphere here is too gloomy, I always feel that some monster will jump out, why don't we retreat for the time being?
Tsunade ignored his true words that he said jokingly.
Because they have arrived at the place with the strongest smell of blood.
When Tsunade stepped onto the third floor and looked up, she was stunned.
On the wall in front of her, there was a dark humanoid creature.
As for why it is called a humanoid "creature", because Tsunade couldn't tell whether it was a human or a "plant" for a moment.
"What is that?"
And Jiraiya, who followed, also looked at the scene in amazement and fell into a strange silence.
I saw that the three walls were covered with dry thorns that had lost their color, and only a withered face was hidden in the gray thorns.
"This guy is..."
Jiraiya's eyes were full of shock, and he whispered in disbelief: "Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost? He, he actually died here? ! "
No, that's not the point.
What kind of technique are these thorny vines?!
Tsunade's chest began to rise and fall violently, and she walked heavily towards the corpse and the wall covered with thorny vines.
The corpse was nailed high in the air, and the whole body was pulled straight by the thorns. The arms were stretched to both sides of the body, looking like a "cross".
But those lifeless eyes were only despair, and the pale face was numb like a mummy, without any vitality and brilliance.
"I know him."
Jiraiya's solemn voice came into Tsunade's ears from behind: "Xiguashan Puffer Demon, a senior ninja of the Kirigakure Ninja Hunting Force, a senior member of the Intelligence Department, one of the capable subordinates of the Third Mizukage, very cunning and cautious. "
But he is dead now, and his death is so weird.
In terms of the degree of tragedy, the scene is actually average.
But what makes Jiraiya feel cold in his heart is the strange religious death.
The red thorn vines almost filled the tall body, entwined between the hundreds of fine bones, winding through the flesh and blood, rooted in the internal organs and coexisting with them.
There are countless traces of thorns rolling on the body, as if the monster has torn with its claws countless times, trying to dig out the bones and internal organs in the flesh.
The body has become a parasitic hotbed, and those thorn vines are inseparable from it.
It is so terrible that people will think of the purgatory of being bitten by thousands of insects at a glance, and they may be haunted by nightmares.
"Xiguashan this guy..."
Jiraiya took a few steps forward, looked at the thorns with a gloomy face, and whispered: "He died because he was sucked dry by this ghost thing."
"...What kind of ninjutsu can do this? "Tsunade's face suddenly turned pale.
"That means it's not an ordinary ninjutsu." Jiraiya stared at the corpse, his eyes flickering, "Only special secrets or blood limit can do it, right?"
In the entire ninja world, there is only one person with this effect.
"Wood Release?"
Tsunade murmured at first, but soon shook her head and said, "No! Impossible, it can't be Wood Release, how could it be Wood Release? !"
"Impossible, this ghost thing must be some kind of secret technique! "
She shook her head frantically, her voice getting louder and louder, almost a roar at the end.
That was only her great-grandfather who had passed away, the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, who could possess the bloodline limit, Wood Release!
It was with that extremely powerful Wood Release Ninjutsu that he became the god of the ninja world, pacified the troubled times, established Konoha, and defeated Uchiha Madara.
According to the records left by the great-grandfather, Wood Release is a bloodline limit created by the transformation and fusion of the nature of earth and water attribute chakra.
But since the death of the great-grandfather, no one can possess Wood Release anymore.
This is the regret of all the Senju clan members, even Tsunade herself.
But now...
"Could it be that a descendant of the Senju clan who was stranded outside has awakened Wood Release? "Jiraiya asked in a low voice, but got no response.
Looking at the thorny vines covering the wall, Tsunade's face was already covered with sweat, and panic and anxiety enveloped her heart.
How could Wood Release appear in such a place, and in such a strange and sinister form?!
Judging from the death of the two ninjas, the person behind this must have deep malice towards Konoha!
In other words, the wood escape that the entire Senju clan had been longing for was inherited by a guy who appeared out of nowhere, and that guy actually stood on the opposite side of Konoha.
No, it's not just that.
Swordsmen, fire escape ninjas, wood escape ninjas, and even the surviving Uzumaki clan members.
I'm afraid they are all like this.
I'm afraid they have all become enemies of Konoha?
Such an absurd, ridiculous, and terrifying thing.
"..."
Tsunade fell into silence, and so did Jiraiya.
The two stood side by side, looking at the corpse, neither of them spoke first, with different expressions in their eyes.
For a while, only the sound of the cold wind whistling outside the window could be heard.
The more I think about it, the more scared I am, and the more I think about it, the more terrifying it is.
"Huh!"
After a long silence, Tsunade took a deep breath and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Jiraiya."
"I understand." Before Tsunade could finish her words, Jiraiya sighed and interrupted, "I will keep it secret."
The blood limit of the former ninja god, Wood Release, will surely attract the attention of all countries when it appears again, not to mention that it did not appear in Konoha.
Once the news is spread, it will surely cause an uproar, and then covet the power of Wood Release, and some people in Konoha will do the same.
At that time, those Senju people who have already hidden their names and abandoned their surnames may also be persecuted.
This is definitely not the result Jiraiya wants to see.
"Thank you."
Tsunade turned her head slightly, thanked him first, and then said with a serious expression: "Also, the matter of the Uzumaki clan..."
"Sorry." Jiraiya shook his head this time, "Only this, I can't agree."
Unlike those ignorant young jonin, he certainly knew the existence of the "Root".
The Root ninja appeared here before them, and he certainly understood what this meant.
The miserable death of the Root ninja showed that Konoha's mind had been exposed, and the surviving Uzumaki clan members were very likely to regard Konoha as an enemy.
Although Jiraiya was very dissatisfied with the old man's behavior, he had to put Konoha's safety first.
Because the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is that Lord Uzumaki Mito.
Even the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a girl named Uzumaki Kushina.
If the Uzumaki clan chooses to be an enemy of Konoha, then Konoha's attitude towards these two Jinchuriki will need to change to a certain extent.
Jiraiya and Tsunade understand these things.
But compared to Jiraiya's rationality, Tsunade is more willing to believe Mito-san.
Tsunade turned her head expressionlessly and stared at Jiraiya's profile.
But until the end, Jiraiya never looked at her, and Tsunade was disappointed as always.
What is she fantasizing about?
Fantasizing that Jiraiya will change because of her?
Jiraiya, still the same Jiraiya.
He has never changed.
Tsunade turned her head and said nothing more, but suddenly she felt tired, and something in her heart quietly extinguished.
This village built by the great grandfather and the second grandfather...
"You will regret it." She lowered her head, her eyes became dim, and a hint of disappointment appeared on her face. She whispered, "You will all regret it."
If the old man knew about the Whirlpool Country, he would definitely be wary of Mito-san.
What will happen then is hard to predict.
But, where are those surviving Uzumaki people now?
