Chapter 224: 224
Raikage A and Tsuchikage Onoki were surprised when they heard that Kisame took their Jinchuriki.
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Nagato became a little impatient. He waved his hand, and the second Tsuchikage and the third Raikage moved, instantly releasing a strong murderous aura, they are about to launch an attack.
"Let's go!"
Onoki and A screamed as they retreated sharply, and their group quickly fled Amegakure in embarrassment.
The seals on Yahiko and Konan were lifted and their freedom was restored.
"Cough cough..."
Seeing that, Nagato suddenly coughed violently and spat out a large pool of blood from his throat.
"Nagato!" The two were shocked and stepped to his side immediately.
"I'm fine."
Nagato wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and after making a seal, the second Tsuchikage and the third Raikage returned to the coffin and sank into the ground. He is not in a good state now, and if he manipulates too many deceased who have been reincarnated at one time, he may lose control.
After resting for a while, he recovered a bit.
"Next, I will be going to the Ryuchi Cave to recuperate. Amegakure and Akatsuki will be in your hands for now."
Nagato briefly explained to them about what to do in a few words, and said that Hanzo would stay behind to assist the two.
He borrowed the name of holding the Five Kage Summit this time to kill his enemy, Hoshigaki Kisame. Although he failed to kill Kisame with his own hands, Kisame is indeed dead, and it is considered have accomplished the goal.
However, Nagato was still a little worried.
Since he can use the Impure Reincarnation to resurrect the dead, Kisame's followers may also be able to resurrect him in the same way. Therefore, in order to cut the grass from root, he has to do some preparations.
As soon as his injury recovers, he will personally go to Kirigakure to completely turn the place into ruins and kill all of Kisame's subordinates.
Not one will be left.
Thinking of this, Nagato's eyes flashed with a cold light.
The Land of Water, Kirigakure.
When the news of Kisame's death came to Kirigakure, and for the people here, it was like a bolt from the blue.
If it is said that Konoha is now a sea of joy, full of laughter and celebration. The atmosphere of Kirigakure was the exact opposite. People took to the streets in panic and looked at each other. The panic spread throughout the village like a plague.
In particular, news came from the front that the major ninja villages are already gathering large troops, and soon they will officially launch the fourth ninja war, they joined forces to conquer the Land of Water, and destroy Kirigakure.
After learning this news, Kirigakure became even more chaotic, as if the end was coming.
In such an atmosphere, some people seeing that the situation was not good, quickly fled the village, not wanting to stay and die. Some people are just around the corner, ready to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble.
As for the remaining Kirigakure ninjas and the villagers, all they could do is pray.
They prayed that, just like last time, at the juncture of life and death of Kirigakure, that a strong man like Hoshigaki Kisame will appear to guard the village once again.
It's just that possibility, even though it's very slim...
In a dark corner that no one paid attention to.
Sheji (Orochimaru) and Anko, the master and apprentice, stood, watching the panicked and helpless crowd on the street.
"Teacher, you are really embarrassing. First you defected from Konoha to Amegakure, and then defected from Amegakure to Kirigakure. Now that Kirigakure is about to face an end, you are embarking on the road to escape."
Anko spoke suddenly, and taunted SheJi unceremoniously.
"Ha ha."
SheJi smiled when she heard that, but she was not angry. Who made Anko her favorite disciple? She narrowed her pair of golden snake pupils, pondered for a moment and said, "Anko, I'm not so anxious yet, let's just sit still and see the situation."
"You don't want to take advantage of the chaos to escape from Kirigakure."
Hearing this, Anko was very surprised by this, she frowned and said, "Sensei, haven't you heard that the four major Ninja villages are already gathering troops, and they will soon attack. At that time, Whether or not Kirigakure can continue to exist is a question, does it make any sense to stay here?"
"Kisame is indeed dead. I have known this for a long time. After all, the Great Toad Sage has long predicted this. However, there is still Tsunade in Kirigakure. I want to see what she wants to do? How will she deal with this situation."
SheJi smiled faintly, looking forward to it.
At the same time.
The four members of Pakura's team and Samaheda returned to Kirigakure one after another, bringing back good news and bad news respectively.
The good news is that the team successfully completed the task given by Kisame and captured the four Jinchuriki from Amegakure. The bad news is that Samaheda once again confirmed Kisame's death, shattering the last remaining hope in their hearts.
Whether it is Pakura and the others, or Yukino and others, they are still reluctant to believe this cruel truth that is like a bolt from the blue.
"How can the boss die, he is an invincible ninja and cannot be killed." Mangetsu shouted.
"That's right, Mizukage-sama pays equal attention to both strength and wisdom. His plans has always been step-by-step, and he will never put himself in danger easily. There must be a hidden meaning in this matter." Terumi Mei also agreed, frowning tightly. Maybe she trusted Kisame too much, maybe she was just comforting herself and her companions.
"Captain, what are we going to do now?" Ringo asked Pakura with tears in her eyes.
"We will go to Tsunade-sama."
Saying that, Pakura walked towards the hospital, because she remembered Kisame's advice before he left - if something happens to him, let Tsunade take charge of the overall situation.
The group of four quickly found Tsunade.
"You guys did a great job this time, good work."
When Tsunade saw the four Jinchuriki brought back by Pakura and the others, she was surprised and praised them, and ordered Shizune and Nohara Rin to take Jinchuriki down first and guard them secretly.
Compared with dealing with this group of people, there are more important things right now.
Facing the anxious and worried four, Tsunade calmed their emotions and solemnly said: "Elder Genji has returned to the village, and he will be in charge of all affairs in the village, the tasks of the four of you just try to help him."
"Tsunade-sama, what about you?"
Terumi Mei hesitated for a moment and asked, but she already had an answer in her heart.
Tsunade was originally not a person of Kirigakure, now that the disaster is imminent, she has no reason to stay.
"Tsunade-sama, don't go." Ameyuri stepped forward, stretched out two small hands to hold Tsunade's hand, looked at the latter eagerly, and begged.
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving."
Tsunade smiled, reached out and touched Ameyuri's head, and said to her, "The coalition forces of the Four Great Ninja Villages are coming soon. In order to gain enough strength to resist them, I must go to the Shikkotsu Forest. Before I come back, the village will depend on you people."
When the four of them heard that, they finally felt relieved, and they all showed joy on their faces.
"I will fight until the last moment." Pakura said calmly.
"So are we.Tsunade-sama, we will stick to the village until the day you come back." Ameyuri and others also said firmly.
Looking at the young but firm faces of these people, Tsunade was moved.
"Please."
She took a deep breath, turned and strode away.
"Tsunade-sama."
Terumi Mei's voice suddenly asked unwillingly, "Do you really believe that Mizukage-sama is dead?"
Tsunade hearing that, stopped. But she didn't look back, but said coldly: "It's time to give up those unrealistic fantasies. From now on, Kirigakure can only be guarded by us."
After she finished speaking, she pushed open the door and walked out, leaving the four of them in a daze.
An hour later, Shikkotsu Forest.
'Woooo.'
Tsunade emerged from the hot spring lake in the center of the island, and climbed to the shore wet, her clothes clinging to her body, and her plump and seductive curves were exposed incisively and vividly.
However, she came here in a hurry, not to soak in the hot spring, but to dive into the bottom of the water to check on Kisame's condition, the Kunpeng.
No matter how she called, the other party did not respond, as if an animal that was hibernating, falling into a deep sleep. Tsunade even wondered if something went wrong and Kunpeng had turned into a corpse.
"What the heck is this guy doing?"
She frowned and muttered.
After wiping off the water on her body and changing her clothes, Tsunade found Katsuyu and questioned Kunpeng's condition with the latter.
"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama, I don't know what state kisame-sama is in now. But what is certain is that his clone is very special, so after its death, it caused a lot of negative influence to the main body. Therefore, I am afraid that Kisame-sama will not wake up in a short time."
Katsuyu lowered its tentacles as it replied. It was also worried about Kisame.
"This guy actually messed up at a critical moment, leaving the entire Kirigakure and his large group of women and subordinates, did he believe that I will wipe his ass for him?"
Tsunade said through gritted teeth.
She had indeed thought about walking away more than once, not bothering about the mess that is Kirigakure. But whenever she thought of a situation where, if she ignores it, Kirigakure will definitely be annexed by the other four Ninja villages and disappear completely from this world.
At that time, not only Yukino, Pakura, Terumi Mei, Ameyuri and others will die, but even the entire Land of Water will face annihilation, and countless civilians will die in this upcoming Fourth Ninja World War.
Tsunade is a medical ninja, who understands the cruelty of war better than anyone, and doesn't want to watch a life pass away like this.
So, after thinking about it again and again, she finally decided...
Participate.
Yes, she wants to stop this war. It's not that she stands on Kisame's or Kirigakure's side, but as a compassionate medical ninja, she wants to save those innocent people.
But Tsunade also knows that after losing Kisame, she will have to face the four Kages Nagato, Jiraiya, Onoki, A, and other famous ninjas in the Ninja world with the remaining power in Kirigakure. The elite upper ninja, there are countless upper, middle and lower ninjas... It can almost be said that the strength of the two sides is too different.
Even if she joins the battlefield, there is no way to change the situation where Kirigakure will face inevitable defeat.
As of now, there is only one last solution left.
Thinking of this, Tsunade walked up to the Katsuyu, stretched out her hands on the latter's body, and said with bright eyes: "Katsuyu, it's not too late, I have decided to become your Jinchuriki!"
"What?!"
Hearing that, Katsuyu's pair of tentacles suddenly stood up, and her whole body twitched, looking very shocked.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Tsunade frowned and said solemnly, "You and Kisame have discussed this matter a long time ago, right? Do you really think I'm being kept in the dark? I have already overheard your conversation. You planned on hiding this from me right?"
"... Tsunade-sama, I'm sorry." Facing Tsunade's aggressive attitude, Katsuyu was full of guilt and muttered her apology.
"There's no time now to say sorry now. Hurry up and answer my question."
Tsunade stared at Katsuyu and said again. She is a decisive person, once a decision is made, it will not be changed.
"Tsunade-sama, have you really made up your mind?"
Katsuyu was both nervous and a little excited, and said faintly, "You should know that once you choose to become my Jinchuriki and merge with my chakra and consciousness, we will share your body in the future, and there will never be a way to separate again. ."
"Of course I know, isn't it the same as the tailed beasts Jinchuriki, and it's not an unacceptable strange thing."
Tsunade didn't care about this, after all, most of the other Jinchuriki, were at odds with the tailed beasts in their bodies, and they often competed for the control of the body, and even lost consciousness and went berserk. But she and Katsuyu are friends who have known each other for many years, and will get along very well in the future, and there will be no problems.
Therefore, Tsunade doesn't mind and is happy to share her body with Katsuyu, which can not only help it leave the Shikkotsu Forest and be free, but will also get Katsuyu's full power of that will help her win the current war.
"Tsunade-sama, what do you think of Kisame-sama?"
Katsuyu who was silent for a while, suddenly asked this question, which stunned Tsunade.
"What do you mean? Why do you suddenly mention that bastard? If it wasn't for him who dragged me into this muddy water, I don't know where I would be enjoying myself now." Tsunade said with dissatisfaction, getting angry when she mentioned Kisame.
What she never expected was what Katsuyu would say next.
"You actually hate Kisame-sama very much, don't you. But, I've already... fallen in love with him."
Katsuyu lowered her head, like a shy little girl who was just beginning to fall in love, and murmured, "If Tsunade-sama becomes my Jinchuriki, how are you going to deal with my relationship with Kisame-sama in the future? If you hate him so much, I would be really embarrassed."
"Katsuyu, you..."
Tsunade was stunned and nearly dropped her jaw.
At the beginning, when Kisame told her for the first time that he fell in love with Katsuyu at first sight, and wanted to pursue the latter, Tsunade thought that Kisame was a pervert.
She thought it was just his imaginary thinking, but she didn't expect that guy to make it a reality. In less than two years, he caught Katsuyu. She has to admire Kisame's action and perseverance.
It turns out that this great love that crosses species really exists.
Tsunade took a long time to recover.
"Tsunade-sama, I know you can't accept this, so let's forget about it. If you are willing to fight for Kirigakure, I will do my best to go to the battlefield and be side by side with you and fight."
Seeing Tsunade's delay in responding, Katsuyu took the initiative to speak.
