Chapter 59

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

Today.

The number of remaining Root members.

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

They had been brainwashed into emotionless killing machines; the meaning of their lives was to protect Danzo Shimura, and even knowing the disparity in strength, they would never take a step back.

Under the protection of two Root ninja, the heavily wounded Danzo Shimura was dragged off the battlefield.

With a severed arm and a blinded eye.

Even if he spent months recuperating.

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

Unless.

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

"Dead soldiers, are Itachi?"

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

The Third Raikage said with disdain.

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

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

Next.

As long as he followed the original plan.

And continued to execute it, he would just need to send a prestige gift package to Brother Senju Senju Senju Xingye. Human relationships were always about mutual benefit; Itachi saved my life, and I will return the favor with a great victory!

"Swish, swish, swish—"

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

The Third Raikage, like a wolf among sheep, slaughtered the Root ninja at will.

Having the resolve to die.

Was certainly fine.

But when the gap in strength between the two sides reached a certain point.

Then such resolve became meaningless. Did Itachi really think Itachi were the protagonist? That as long as Itachi had the resolve of love and friendship, Itachi could bridge the gap of decades or hundreds of years of hard training and pull off a counter-kill?

Of course.

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

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

Just by relying on that massive body, a single stomp could crush several Root ninja, and a single sweep could wipe out a large area.

In an instant.

Over a hundred Root ninja.

Had lost their lives on the spot, either decapitated or crushed into pulp.

"Could it be—"

"Are we going to lose this war?"

The shadow of defeat.

Loomed over the hearts of the Hidden Leaf ninja.

No one could stop the rampaging Third Raikage and the Four-Tails jinchuriki, Roshi.

Only despair.

Shrouded their hearts.

Faced with this lineup, only if Sakumo Hatake were resurrected and Orochimaru were brought in would they have the strength to fight.

However.

Saying such things now.

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

"It's too early to give up now!"

"Let me be your opponent!"

A figure landed abruptly.

Shattering the earth directly.

The chakra fluctuations on her 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!

.............................................Loss. ===== CHAPTER 117 =====

"Let me be your opponent!"

Senju Tsunade entered the battle.

Originally.

She didn't want to participate in this war, at most providing logistical medical support.

However, before setting off, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had told her about this in advance; it was a good opportunity to farm prestige, and she could look for a suitable moment to strike.

With the cooperation of Brother Raikage, it was absolutely guaranteed.

Therefore.

Senju Tsunade also stepped onto the battlefield with a head full of question marks.

She wasn't skilled at using ninjutsu.

But she was a master of medical ninjutsu.

And the "Strength of a Hundred" and "Yin Seal" skills she had developed would become her capital for close-quarters combat.

The original Senju Tsunade only had the level of a mid-Kage, but after a long period of growth with Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, perhaps receiving some kind of feedback, her current strength had improved to the late-Kage level.

To be honest.

During this time.

Senju Tsunade hadn't really practiced much at all.

Could it be that the nighttime exercise activities also had the effect of indirectly improving strength?

This phenomenon.

Didn't just happen to Senju Tsunade alone.

Kushina Uzumaki's strength had also improved from an elite jonin to a quasi-Kage level.

The Nine-Tails lady's strength had improved from the early stage of super-Kage to the mid-stage of super-Kage; of course, this was also due to her enduring humiliation and working hard to cultivate for revenge.

Shiori Maru, who was originally an ordinary person, had also developed chakra in her body, though only at the level of a genin.

Mikoto Uchiha had improved to elite jonin.

Sayuri Hyuga had improved to jonin.

Shiha Inuzuka had improved to jonin.

Eriri Yamanaka had improved to elite chunin.

Megumi Kurama had improved to elite chunin.

These were the first batch of wives who followed Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye.

As for the sisters Marina Yotsuki and Alice Yotsuki, who were still pregnant, their strength remained at the original chunin level.

As for the newcomers Ichika Nakano, Nino Nakano, Miku Nakano, Yotsuba Nakano, Itsuki Nakano, and Senha Uesugi, there was no need to mention them; the time was too short for them to receive this feedback-based improvement.

"Is this—"

"Brother Senju Senju Senju Xingye's wife?"

"She actually possesses the strength of a late-Kage, only a step weaker than me."

"Stronger than Jiraiya, the other of the Hidden Leaf's Legendary Sannin. A female ninja capable of reaching this level is truly rare; this is truly astonishing." ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
