Chapter 103

Senju Xingye wasn't really coming to stroll around.

A bigger purpose was to take this opportunity to earn some merit for his wife, Senju Tsunade. With the cooperation of the Raikage brothers, and incidentally handing over the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Tsunade's reputation would reach its peak in minutes.

By then.

Relying on Namikaze Minato's foundation.

He definitely wouldn't be able to compete with Senju Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage and Princess of the Land of Fire.

"We understand."

"We will definitely prepare well."

The five clan heads nodded.

Solemnly indicating they knew about this matter.

The clan head coming to the front line, even if it was just a Wood Clone, was a big deal. As affiliated clans of the Forest Senju, they naturally had to express their loyalty well.

Half a month later.

Time came to October, the 48th year of Konoha.

In another two months, it would enter the 49th year of Konoha, which was the peak period of the Third Shinobi World War.

Receiving the Third Hokage's order.

The two Kage-level combatants responsible for the Rock Village and Mist Village battlefields—Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato.

Also directly led their respective troops to come to the Cloud Village battlefield to assist.

Forming a stalemate with Cloud Village's A, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, and Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito (Yugito had not yet inherited the Two-Tails)!

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides.

Was also growing day by day.

Even the Third Raikage, who had been recuperating for more than half a month, was ready to come to the front line to preside over the war situation.

Of course.

During this time.

Something unbelievable to everyone also happened.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

Stepping with light steps.

Transferring his consciousness into a piece of wood, injecting Wood Release chakra, forming a Wood Clone.

Senju Xingye's original consciousness personally controlled this wooden body.

Arriving at the Cloud Village front line.

Along with him.

Was Senju Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

"Senju Xingye, how come you are here?!"

Having initially recovered the ability to move.

But still unable to fight, Shimura Danzo looked at the young man wearing the Senju clan emblem in front of him.

He really hadn't expected that this guy, who wouldn't step out of Konohagakure for half a step in his life, would actually come to the front line one day.

And he hadn't received any news.

Otherwise.

According to the personality of this dog Shimura Danzo, he would definitely have let "Root" set an ambush in advance.

To see if he could assassinate this guy, and then through various means, seize the Forest Senju's industries for his Shimura clan and Root to use. This was all his potential to be Hokage!

It's just a pity.

He missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, Shimura Danzo looked at the whole team, not only Senju Xingye and Senju Tsunade, two Kage-level combatants, but also five civilian Jonin and twenty civilian Chunin protecting them. With his currently half-crippled "Root," he really might not be able to do anything to them.

"Why?"

"The front-line war situation is urgent."

"I brought some food to comfort everyone, is that strange?"

"......."

Regarding Shimura Danzo's questioning.

Senju Xingye just said calmly.

At the same time.

He clapped his hands.

Cart after cart of high-quality ice watermelons were also transported up.

When ordinary ninjas saw these ice watermelons, their eyes all lit up. Living a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife every day, who wouldn't like to eat a piece of cold and sweet watermelon?

"Hmph."

Regarding this.

Shimura Danzo just snorted coldly.

At the same time, he also started to ponder whether to report Senju Xingye's intelligence to the Cloud Village side.

In order to eliminate dissidents, he could even sell out some intelligence.

You know.

On the Cloud Village side.

There were now three Kage-level combatants.

Even if Senju Xingye and Senju Tsunade were also Kage-level, if he and Sarutobi Hiruzen joined forces to persuade Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya not to go to support, then in a situation of fighting alone, they would definitely be in danger.

Of course.

Shimura Danzo didn't know.

The current Forest Senju and the Third Raikage were good brothers wearing the same pair of pants.

They weren't someone you, an old schemer, could sow discord between at will.

"Take me to the wounded camp."

"I will be responsible for treating their injuries."

As Konoha's strongest medical ninja, Senju Tsunade.

Also showed her decisive side, immediately stating she would treat the injuries of the wounded personnel.

The number of wounded every day.

Was increasing day by day.

And medical ninjas were very precious resources at any time, so manpower became very tight, and some serious injuries couldn't even be treated with their medical level.

But.

It's different now.

With Lady Tsunade's help, the entire medical speed would be raised to a higher level.

Serious injuries they couldn't handle before might just be a small matter in Lady Tsunade's eyes.

"Xingye, do you also plan to join the battlefield with Tsunade?"

"With the two of you participating, Konoha will definitely be like a tiger with wings."

With an old fox-like smile on his face.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen also stepped forward and said.

The opponent had three Kage-level fighters.

Their side had three Kage-level fighters.

Looking at the paper strength, this seemed to be evenly matched.

But without the Forest Senju participating, he couldn't mobilize more combat power. Orochimaru needed to guard the Sand Village front, and the Cloud Village also had a Third Raikage suspected of stepping into "Super Kage level."

Once the Third Raikage joined the battlefield, the balance of victory would instantly tilt.

So.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also pondering.

If he could trick Senju Xingye and Senju Tsunade onto the battlefield, let them fight the Third Raikage to the death.

The best situation would be Senju Xingye dying in battle and the Third Raikage being severely wounded. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
