Chapter 132

"Whoa, that was terrifying; I felt like I was almost going to die!"

Senju Nawaki patted his chest, looking like he still had lingering fears.

If he had been hit by that strike just now, his internal organs would probably have been shattered!

"But, my Zanpakuto definitely won't lose to anyone either~"

As his voice fell, Senju Nawaki swung his Zanpakuto in Tsunade's direction.

"Arrest her, Flower Tree World!"

Tsunade's expression suddenly changed; the entire earth of Konoha began to shake as if a subterranean dragon were churning.

"What happened?"

The sudden change left everyone panicking and at a loss.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen issued an order: "Everyone, gather Chakra at the soles of your feet and try to maintain your footing!"

As if they had found their backbone, the Konoha ninjas followed the Hokage's instructions one after another.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Senju Nawaki with a grave expression, feeling lingering fear at the fact that he could cause such a great impact on Konoha with just a casual wave.

Orochimaru frowned and whispered: "Something is coming..."

Tsunade's brows were locked tight; she suddenly felt a panic in her heart and followed her instincts to leave her original spot.

Boom!!

Almost instantly, a giant hand, covered in flowers and trees, burst out of the ground where Tsunade had originally been!

Seeing the appearance of the giant hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed.

"Is that the First Hokage's Kōan Nyūchan Suishu?!"

Kōan Nyūchan Suishu?

Tsunade shook her head; she had read the Wood Release Ninjutsu scrolls left by her grandfather.

Although the manifestation of this giant hand was very similar to Kōan Nyūchan Suishu, its purpose and effect were completely different.

Instead, it was a bit like a violent ninjutsu like the Top of the Head Transformation Buddha that only had one hand.

Before Tsunade could think seriously, another giant hand of the same specifications burst out of the ground beneath her feet.

A flash of astonishment crossed Tsunade's eyes; she subconsciously blocked with her arms in front of her, and with a bang, she was slapped away by the giant hand!

Rumble!!

Tsunade's body crashed into a stone-tiled house; the house collapsed instantly, raising dust!

"Lady Tsunade!"

Seeing this, other ninjas became worried.

It seems Wood Release is indeed troublesome.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

"Cough, cough!"

Tsunade's coughing sound came from the dust.

She crawled out from under the collapsed tiles, covered in dust, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, looking a bit disheveled.

A hint of green was faintly rising within the blue Chakra flames.

The curse mark on her forehead from releasing the Yin Seal had expanded a bit more.

This kind of Wood Release looks much more flexible than the Wood Release recorded by her grandfather.

She silently recovered from her injuries, thinking about the information on Wood Release left by her grandfather.

Fortunately, Nawaki seems to have only just awakened it, and his use of Wood Release is still very rough.

Otherwise...

Fortunately, there is still room to maneuver!

Although disheveled, a sister's dignity cannot be lost; Tsunade wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and mocked:

"Such a powerful ninjutsu as Wood Release, yet you use it so roughly; you'd better obediently come home with your sister, and let your sister teach you how to use Wood Release correctly!"

Tsunade wasn't just doing it for the sake of trash talk; her ultimate goal was still to win Nawaki back.

To make Nawaki recall the memories about her.

But clearly, Senju Nawaki did not understand Tsunade's painstaking efforts.

Perhaps, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

In his cognition, he is a citizen of the Land of Whirlpools!

Senju Nawaki's expression gradually became indifferent.

This woman is really annoying; she keeps telling him to go home, go home—does he not know where home is?

His home is in the Land of Whirlpools!

He had had enough of this woman's nagging.

"You don't think that I can only control one hand of the Flower Tree World at a time, do you?"

"What!"

Hearing Nawaki's words, Tsunade felt a chill in her heart for no reason.

Boom, boom, boom!!

The ground of Konoha suddenly collapsed, and giant hands reaching for the sky burst out of the ground!

Tsunade's eyes widened; one, two, three...

A full nine giant hands danced in the sky, completely blocking the light cast by the setting sun, plunging Konoha into darkness.

Gulp!

Looking at this scene that was like the end of the world, the Konoha ninjas couldn't help but feel their legs go weak, their gazes dull.

This kind of ninjutsu...

How can it be solved!?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank violently; he could no longer maintain his superficial composure.

"Quick! Use Fire Release to attack those giant hands!!"

His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it; Nawaki's appearance clearly showed he really intended to kill Tsunade!

Other ninjas were panicked for a moment, but after receiving the Hokage's order, they quickly formed seals in an orderly fashion and released ninjutsu!

"Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release..."

All kinds of flames flew toward the nine giant hands, but when they hit the giant hands, they were like tiny sparks, having no effect at all!

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, his hands forming seals rapidly.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

A huge fire dragon was spat out from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, flying toward the giant hand closest to him with a roaring sound!

Bang!

The fire dragon smashed into the giant hand, quickly igniting a patch of flames, burning the giant hand!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Use B-rank or higher Fire Release!"

But this condition was clearly not something ordinary ninjas could achieve.

The head of the Uchiha Clan responded first, also sending a Great Dragon Fire Technique flying toward one of the giant hands.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also took one each.

But soon, no one else could release high-level Fire Release ninjutsu.

The remaining Hyuga Clan head and most others were secret technique families and were not very proficient in ninjutsu of other attributes.

Moreover, Senju Nawaki did not give them another chance to consume the Flower Tree World.

The remaining giant hands came from all directions, blocking all of Tsunade's escape routes.

But clearly, Tsunade wasn't prepared to run this time either.

She just waited quietly, as if she had accepted her own death, her lips moving gently, seemingly saying something.

... Seeking flowers...

Senju Nawaki frowned, and through lip-reading, he saw what she was saying.

Nawaki, do you really want to kill your sister... or not?

Senju Nawaki shook his head and said: "At this point, you still have to say such ridiculous things."
