Chapter 133

The Zanpakuto swung down gently, and the giant hand receiving the order smashed down mercilessly.

Bang!!!

The nearby buildings were instantly shattered by the terrifying impact; the rising air waves made everyone's clothes flap, and their cheeks felt stinging pain from the biting wind.

Everyone stared blankly in the direction where the giant hand had smashed down, their expressions dull.

"Lady Tsunade, one of Konoha's Three Ninja, just died like that?"

Almost everyone could not, and did not want to, accept this fact!

Senju Nawaki also froze for a moment, seemingly feeling a sudden sharp pain in his heart, but he didn't know why.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes; no one could see his expression, as if he were grieving for the sacrifice of his beloved disciple.

Only Orochimaru was expressionless, seemingly not feeling any sadness for Tsunade.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he whispered: "As Konoha's Medical Saint, how could Tsunade possibly die?"

Everyone else was immersed in sadness, but only he had seen the flash of green before the giant hand fell.

Don't forget, the three of them were all contractors of the Three Great Holy Lands.

And Tsunade's summoning beast was the Slug Sennin, who combined healing and defense.

With the Slug Sennin there, it was truly hard for Tsunade to die.

It's just that he couldn't understand why Tsunade would put on such a show.

Was it for... Nawaki?

But unfortunately, Nawaki didn't seem to have changed because of your 'death'.

This is the price, after all...

Senju Nawaki returned to the team; Kuchiki Rukia's eyes flashed, and she issued an ultimatum to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The good show is over; next, hand over Uzumaki Kushina!"

"I..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say something else, but clearly, Kuchiki Rukia didn't want to waste words with him anymore.

She drew her sword and pointed it at Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying coldly: "Since Konoha doesn't know what's good for them, then we'll do it ourselves!"

"Wait..."

"Do it!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

Can't you let a person finish speaking?!

"Hadō Number Thirty-Three: Blue Fire Crash!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded, and blue explosive flames suddenly attacked from behind him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, looking like he didn't have time to react, and was hit by the Blue Fire Crash.

But Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly looked in another direction.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood quietly, wearing the Third Hokage's God of Fire Robe, his eyes deep as he stared at him.

And the figure hit by the Blue Fire Crash suddenly turned into a pool of mud.

Earth Clone.

Kuchiki Byakuya said expressionlessly: "Sixth Division Captain, Kuchiki Byakuya; I will be your opponent next."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around at the surroundings.

The Soul Reapers were already entangled with the Konoha ninjas.

He took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp. "I wanted to discuss things with you peacefully, but all I got in return was indifference."

As his voice fell, he tore off the Hokage's God of Fire Robe, revealing a combat suit underneath.

He wasn't pretending anymore; Konoha's Ninja Hero is here!

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

Countless shuriken shot toward Kuchiki Byakuya in a dense swarm.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

The long sword in Kuchiki Byakuya's hand suddenly withered like a flower, and pink cherry blossom petals drifted down one by one.

As Kuchiki Byakuya waved the hilt, the cherry blossom petals seemed to be guided, meeting the shuriken head-on!

Ding ding—

A series of crisp metallic clashing sounds rang out.

Almost all the shuriken were precisely intercepted by the cherry blossom petals.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.

As expected, just as recorded in the intelligence.

Land of Whirlpools Sixth Division Captain,

Possesses a sword that can turn into petals, but the cherry blossom petals are suspected to be a means of killing, with unknown specific effects.

According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's first probe.

These cherry blossom petals are clearly not real petals, but rather more like individual blades!

Judging from the situation with Hanzō, this guess is the most reasonable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

Backup...

As long as you know the enemy's intelligence, there is no enemy you cannot defeat.

Furthermore, he already knew Kuchiki Byakuya's intelligence, while Kuchiki Byakuya knew nothing about him.

The advantage is with him!

As long as he defends against those cherry blossoms during the battle, it will be fine.

As long as those cherry blossoms leave his vicinity, Kuchiki Byakuya, having lost his sword body, will be nothing but a sandbag that can only be beaten passively once he gets close!

After learning Kuchiki Byakuya's intelligence, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly formulated a battle strategy.

First, he had to find a way to resist the attacks of those cherry blossoms.

Sarutobi Hiruzen curled his mouth; for defense, he could only rely on Sarutobi.

Sarutobi, who possesses an indestructible body, is exactly the expert at defense!

He bit his thumb lightly and formed seals with both hands.

"Summoning Technique!"

With a bang, the white mist dissipated, and a white-haired monkey wearing armor appeared with arms crossed.

"We're going to fight side-by-side again, old friend."
