Chapter 318 Tsunade, the Goddess of the Sky, Danzo's Teacher?
"You filthy woman, get off me right now!"
In the northern districts of Konoha, as Manda's furious roar echoed through the sky, its massive serpentine body once again shook its head and whipped its tail, destroying numerous buildings and stirring up billowing dust...
The seemingly powerful and enormous serpent was actually being relentlessly attacked from above by a figure, leaving it bruised, swollen, and bleeding profusely, in a sorry state.
"Manda, if you don't want to die in Konoha, get back here right now! I still need to find that bastard Orochimaru..." Tsunade shouted angrily, looking at the surrounding ruins. If it weren't for protecting the people and safeguarding Konoha's property, she would have gone to find Orochimaru long ago!
Although the slugs that caused the disturbance today summoned the slugs to split and relocate nearby residents, the property damage was still very real.
The thought that the compensation money she had just received from Sunagakure would be used for the village's reconstruction made Tsunade furious!
"boom!!"
Without warning, a punch filled with superhuman strength slammed into the serpent's crest on its head, causing it to cough up a mouthful of blood and nearly die.
No, the buffet Orochimaru promised him has to end here! Otherwise, it might turn into a dead snake and serve Konoha a whole snake feast.
"Damn Orochimaru, don't let me see you again. You made me face Tsunade alone, what a bastard!" With that, Manda vanished into white smoke with a bang.
"Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast." Tsunade sneered, then immediately turned to return to the wedding venue.
The fleeting light in the sky just now made her a little worried. But with Kakashi's strength, even facing Orochimaru, he shouldn't be in danger so quickly!
"Lady Tsunade, I've discovered Orochimaru's whereabouts..."
Just then, an ANBU member suddenly emerged from the ruins and shouted, which delighted Tsunade.
"Lead the way, I'm going to kill that bastard!" she shouted urgingly. Tsunade unleashed chakra from her feet and followed the Anbu members, quickly chasing after them through the streets.
But after crossing only two streets, Tsunade frowned and looked at the Anbu ahead with a suspicious expression.
Based on her guess and the commotion just now, Orochimaru should be at the wedding venue.
But this ANBU member deliberately led her towards the Hokage Building.
Is it...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Tsunade immediately stopped and looked at the Anbu members ahead with a suspicious gaze.
'Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Technique...'
In the blink of an eye, just as Tsunade stopped to question him, a figure suddenly emerged from the nearby ruins and launched a sneak attack.
"not good!"
Tsunade, sensing something was wrong, suddenly changed her expression and unleashed her monstrous strength, her aura becoming menacing as yellow chakra glowed around her.
The next instant, before Yamanaka Fu could even begin to unleash his secret technique to seize control of Tsunade's body, he felt an even stronger chakra press down on him and backfire.
"Pfft..." With a muffled groan, Shan Zhongfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, and he almost fainted.
As one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade was no novice in combat. Without stopping, she took a quick step forward and prepared to grab the opponent and question him.
But just then, another figure emerged from the shadows and stood in front of Yamanaka Kaze, "Secret Technique: Poison Dust Technique..."
Instantly, a cloud of purplish-black poisonous mist rushed towards her, causing Tsunade to immediately turn around and retreat dozens of meters.
Almost simultaneously, several more ANBU rushed out from all directions and surrounded Tsunade in the blink of an eye.
"Root, you are not Anbu, you are Danzo's Root ninjas!" Tsunade looked around and asked angrily.
Why would he send his subordinates to assassinate her at a time like this? What on earth is that bastard Danzo up to?
At that moment, Tsunade noticed the deathly silence around her, clearly indicating a premeditated assassination.
"Danzo, get out here!!" Without thinking, Tsunade kicked the ground hard, unleashing a burst of superhuman strength.
In an instant, the surrounding ruins shook violently once again, leaving a scene of utter devastation. The Root ninjas scattered in all directions to avoid being attacked by the monstrous force.
"As expected of Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin who inherited the monstrous strength of the First and Second Hokage, the Senju. Your strength must already be no less than that of my teacher, the Second Hokage."
Another cloud of dust rose, and Danzo's gloomy voice echoed through the swirling dust as he slowly appeared.
"It really is you, Danzo." Seeing the person in question appear, Tsunade glared furiously at the figure emerging from the dust. "What the hell do you want? How dare you mention the First and Second Hokage to me now?!"
"Tell me, was Orochimaru's surprise attack today related to you? Was last night's prison riot your doing or Orochimaru's?"
"Tsunade, is there any point in saying all this now? The reason I did this is to correct Sarutobi's mistakes and bring Konoha back on track." Danzo leaned on his cane, taking one step at a time, speaking with righteous indignation and grand pronouncements.
"Correct Sarutobi-sensei's mistakes? Bring Konoha back on track?" Hearing Danzo's matter-of-fact tone and goal, Tsunade couldn't help but laugh in exasperation!
Although she disagreed with many of Sarutobi-sensei's practices, she was certain that his governing philosophy was the Will of Fire passed down in Konoha.
What is Danzo talking about now, talking about reforming Konoha? Doesn't that mean he's denying the Will of Fire of all the Hokage?
"Sarutobi and Kakashi are too naive! They have no idea of the danger posed by the Uchiha clan. Only under my leadership can Konoha break through the darkness hidden by history and bring peace and light to this village."
"As a Senju, how dare you shamelessly protect the Uchiha? So Tsunade, I'm correcting your mistake now!"
"Come, become my power and rebuild Konoha with me! We will surpass all the previous Hokage and create a new order in the ninja world with the power of the Senju and Uchiha!"
At this point, Danzo suddenly stepped out of the dust, his scarlet, eerie right eye of Kotoamatsukami staring directly at Tsunade, leaving Tsunade speechless.
"The Mangekyou Sharingan? How could this be? Danzo, how come you also have the Sharingan??" Looking at Danzo's right eye, Tsunade subconsciously looked away to avoid eye contact, while her heart was filled with shock.
But while she was fast, the Root ninjas and Danzo were just as quick! Almost at the same time that Tsunade shifted her gaze, Yamanaka Fu once again recklessly activated the Yamanaka Secret Technique, and the other Root ninjas also rushed forward to create an opportunity for Danzo.
In less than two breaths, Danzo finally seized the opportunity to meet Tsunade's gaze, unleashing his pent-up eye power without hesitation: 'Illusion Technique: Kotoamatsukami…'
"What is this??" Feeling the chaotic thoughts deep within her brain, Tsunade's expression changed drastically, and she immediately unleashed her chakra in an attempt to break the genjutsu.
[It's just that facing the Sannin with my left eye is still too much of a strain, but now that the die is cast, I have no choice but to go all in!] Danzo sighed inwardly as he sensed Tsunade's resistance, then his gaze hardened and he unleashed all his eye power without reservation.
Kotoamatsukami, hailed as the ultimate genjutsu, is still a formidable technique even with Danzo's full power unleashed. Tsunade's resistance was quickly suppressed by Kotoamatsukami, which rapidly altered her will and impaired her normal judgment…
A moment later, Tsunade's eyes flashed crimson as she met Danzo's gaze with unwavering determination.
"Danzo-sensei, I think you're right. Sarutobi-sensei's cowardice and naivety have brought too many tragedies to Konoha. If I could, I would definitely support you in becoming the Sixth Hokage and changing Konoha!"
