Chapter 114

The remaining 'Root' ninjas also jumped out one by one, blocking the Third Raikage's path.

Now.

The number of 'Root' members remaining.

Was only about three hundred; the rest had all died in the war.

They had been brainwashed into emotionless killing machines whose purpose in life was to protect Shimura Danzō; even knowing the disparity in strength, they would never take a step back.

Under the protection of two 'Root' ninjas, the heavily injured Shimura Danzō was dragged off the battlefield.

Severed arm and blinded eye.

Even if he spent several months recuperating in the future.

It was estimated that his strength would not return to his current quasi-Kage level; he would be lucky to maintain the strength of an ordinary Jōnin.

Unless.

He could regrow a brand-new arm or transplant an eye.

"Dead soldiers, huh?"

"Consider yourself lucky to have kept your dog life."

The Third Raikage said with disdain.

It was a pity he hadn't taken his dog head on the spot.

However, such a severe injury was enough to cripple him for the most part.

Next.

As long as they followed the original plan.

And continued to execute it, sending a prestige gift package to Brother Xingye would suffice; interpersonal relationships were always about mutual benefit—you save my life, I return you a great victory!

"Swish, swish, swish—"

At a speed too fast for the naked eye to capture.

The Third Raikage was like a wolf among sheep, wantonly slaughtering the 'Root' ninjas.

Having the resolve to die.

Was certainly good.

But when the gap in strength between the two sides was so vast.

Then such resolve became meaningless. Did you really think you were the protagonist, that just by having resolve, love, and friendship, you could bridge decades or centuries of others' hard cultivation and pull off a counter-kill?

Of course.

Seeing that the Third Raikage's efficiency in clearing the soldiers wasn't high.

The Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi, also joined the battlefield, not even needing to use a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Relying solely on that massive body, one stomp could crush several 'Root' ninjas, and a single sweep could knock over a whole area.

In an instant.

Hundreds of 'Root' ninjas.

Had already lost their lives on the spot, either beheaded or crushed into meat paste.

"Could it be—"

"Are we going to lose this war?"

The shadow of war failure.

Shrouded the hearts of the Leaf Hidden Village ninjas.

No one could stop the rampant Third Raikage and the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi.

Only despair.

Shrouded their hearts.

Faced with this lineup, unless Hatake Sakumo were resurrected and Orochimaru were brought over, they wouldn't have the strength to fight.

However.

Saying such things now.

Was already too late; back then, to prevent Hatake Sakumo from affecting his status, it was he, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the 'Pot Hokage' Shimura Danzō who had joined forces to force a Kage-level combatant to his death.

"It's too early to talk about giving up now!"

"Let me be your opponent!"

A figure landed abruptly.

Shattering the earth.

The chakra fluctuations on their body also erupted into a powerful air current.

The granddaughter of the First Hokage, the Princess of the Land of Fire, and a member of the Senju of the Forest—Senju Tsunade, had officially joined the battle!
