Hiruzen Sarutobi is also a target.
The members of the Uchiha clan are all very radical.
However, Tsunade has already decided to deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi herself, so she definitely won't let the Uchiha clan interfere.
"Didn't you listen to what I said?" Tsunade didn't take Uchiha Hachiro, Uchiha Owl, and the others seriously.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha retorted, "Lady Tsunade, this is a matter for the Uchiha to handle. Hiruzen Sarutobi openly supported Danzo in seizing the bloodline limit of my Uchiha clan. Can you accept that?"
Tsunade snorted coldly and said, "Whether you accept it or not is your business. Go deal with the people you need to deal with, instead of arguing with me here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the Tree World Advent that had been formed earlier spread towards Uchiha Hachiro and the others through its vines and trunks, making the threat obvious.
At the same time, Esdeath and Alice Lise walked over, their stance clear: do what you're supposed to do, instead of arguing with Tsunade here.
Upon seeing Esdeath and Alice Lizard approaching through the frost, Uchiha Hachiro, Uchiha Owl 18, and the others exchanged glances and chose to retreat.
Because the two of them represent Bai Mu's will, and no one in the Uchiha clan can oppose Bai Mu at the moment, they must do as he says.
"Tsunade, are those two your people, or Uchiha Hakubaku's people?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked thoughtfully after seeing this scene.
"It does not matter."
Tsunade saw through Hiruzen Sarutobi's intentions, which were nothing more than to sow discord. However, this was pointless, so her response was to tell him not to try to sow discord, as it was futile.
"maybe."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gripped his Ruyi Jingu Bang tightly, his face grim as he spoke.
He saw the two women's performance, which completely overwhelmed the ANBU and Root ninjas. Those elite ninjas were like children facing adults when they faced these two women.
Seriously, they were completely crushed.
The heavy casualties must have made Hiruzen Sarutobi anxious.
To be precise, he couldn't feel at ease right now, especially since if things continued like this, there would probably be no one left soon, so Hiruzen Sarutobi was bound to be anxious and uneasy.
Furthermore, the Anbu and Root suffered heavy losses, not to mention the Sarutobi clan ninja.
The Uchiha clan members are acting like madmen, fighting with a reckless, suicidal style.
In addition, there are other ninja clans in the village, such as the Hyuga and Inuzuka clans.
These ninja clans were completely on Tsunade's side.
They belong to Tsunade's camp.
Instead of their own camp.
The situation is quite bad.
Enma doesn't want to get involved in Konoha's internal strife, but the problem is that as Hiruzen Sarutobi's summoning beast, it's impossible for him not to participate in the battle. And since I'm already participating in the battle, why are you still hesitating?
This is a life-or-death struggle. Your disciple has murderous intent. Are you still going to hesitate at this point?
"Hiruzen, don't hesitate at this moment."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "I didn't."
His tone was firm, emphasizing that he had not hesitated, but rather noticed something: "Didn't you realize that this Wood Release technique is quite troublesome?"
"Enma, Tsunade's Wood Release, is very troublesome."
Upon hearing this, the ape demon replied, "I know, but we're not necessarily going to lose."
"Yes, that's right." Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have recovered, and a confident smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.
As they were talking, Tsunade's powerful punch came flying. She had no interest in letting Hiruzen Sarutobi ramble on and on. She had already scolded the Uchiha clan members, and with Esdeath and Alice Lizard helping her clear the area and stop the Anbu ninjas, it was now a battle between her and Hiruzen Sarutobi, master and apprentice.
"Ape Demon, stretch out."
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to take Tsunade's powerful punch head-on. He knew very well the absolute strength of his disciple in that area, so to rashly take a punch would be foolish.
Therefore, it is important to keep the distance, allowing the Monkey King's incarnation, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, to extend and block Tsunade, preventing her from getting close.
Tsunade's fist was blocked.
And she was in the air.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi already had a plan in mind, and immediately ordered Enma: "Enma, grab Tsunade. She's in the air, so it's hard to avoid her."
The Monkey King swiftly extended an arm from his staff, using it to rapidly approach Tsunade, who was in mid-air.
Seeing this, Tsunade angrily unleashed her chakra, delivering a flying kick with her right foot that sent Enma's outstretched arm flying. She then increased her strength, attempting to crush the Enma's magical staff.
"Ape Demon, retreat."
Sensing something was wrong, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed, and he blurted out.
The Monkey King quickly retreated, and in that instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi swiftly adjusted, gathering chakra to form hand seals.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
An earth dragon quickly materialized, and the moment its head appeared, it opened its mouth and spewed out earth projectiles, attacking Tsunade in the air.
The process was concise and fast; no wonder he's a ninjutsu professor.
But even while Tsunade was in the air, she calmly threw a punch at the incoming earth projectiles. Her fist, wrapped in chakra, unleashed an invisible shockwave that sent all the earth projectiles flying.
Taking this opportunity, Tsunade quickly landed on a tree created by the Advent of the Tree World. She watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals again, knowing that he intended to fight with ninjutsu, and realized that she would not have an advantage in close combat.
But, is ninjutsu effective against 383 attack?
Unfortunately, things are different now.
Hiruzen Sarutobi might know that, but he couldn't care less. After all, engaging in close combat was tantamount to suicide, and at his age, he simply didn't have the will to fight.
While it's barely possible, it depends on who it's for; it's clearly impossible for Tsunade.
"Earth escape, earth flow, great river!"
The soil surged forth, attempting to wash Tsunade away, but Tsunade manipulated the Advent of the Tree World, causing multiple trees to continue growing and forming giant trees that blocked the flow of soil.
Wave after wave of attacks, but their effect was clearly minimal. Tsunade blocked them with Wood Release. This was the power of the Advent of a World of Trees. In this artificially created and not very lush forest, the caster was already in control of everything.
Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned repeatedly. His repeated attacks had been ineffective, and this was no longer the Tsunade of the past, whose Wood Release gave her the ability to attack from a distance.
Compared to Tsunade, who used to rely solely on physical combat and excelled in close-quarters fighting, the current Tsunade is undoubtedly much more difficult to deal with, which is why Hiruzen Sarutobi is having a real headache.
There was no other way but to increase the power of the ninjutsu. Since ordinary numbers were ineffective, we would have to use a combination of ninjutsu.
The title of "professor of ninjutsu" is no exaggeration. Hiruzen Sarutobi has honed his skills to an extremely high level, mastering the five nature transformations, secret techniques, taijutsu, and genjutsu. Therefore, he is also highly adept at using composite ninjutsu.
Chapter 89 You want to compete with me? One punch will solve it!
Composite Ninja Art: Earth Dragon Flame Style!
Without hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately launched into a compound ninjutsu. If his son, Miroku Sarutobi, could use compound ninjutsu, there was no reason why he couldn't.
Most importantly, their power is completely incomparable.
Combining Earth Release and Fire Release ninjutsu, he first spat out a Fire Dragon Bullet from his mouth, and then attacked with an Earth Dragon Bullet, but that wasn't all.
Thunder water dragon bomb!
Here comes another combined ninjutsu technique.
This time, it's a combination of Water Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu.
It is a water dragon bullet covered with lightning, and its power is much stronger than the water dragon bullet. It is one of the most powerful composite ninjutsu in Hiruzen Sarutobi's composite ninjutsu.
Two consecutive combined ninjutsu techniques would have been extremely taxing on Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra, a fact that Enma was well aware of.
Therefore, it whispered, "Hiruzen, you're taking too much risk. Using two combined ninjutsu techniques at once will affect your chakra. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him directly, saying in a deep voice, "There are no more concerns. I must resolve this issue in one fell swoop. As you know, if I cannot resolve Tsunade, the other ninja clans may no longer remain neutral. If I can resolve Tsunade, they will change their stance."
Why did you do this?
Because he needs to do it.
Only by defeating Tsunade can the various ninja clans change their stance.
The reason why the Hyuga and other ninja clans suddenly chose to take sides was because of Tsunade's Wood Release ninjutsu. Every Konoha ninja knew about such power, so they decisively sided with Tsunade and chose her side.
However, if I can defeat Tsunade, the situation will change, and then the Uchiha clan will be besieged by these ninja clans.
Ape Demon: "..."
The internal workings of your Konoha are far too complicated.
Why is there so much political infighting?
But no matter how incomprehensible it may be, as Hiruzen Sarutobi's summoning beast, it's natural for me to stand on his side, so all I have to do is support him.
"Third Generation, your techniques are useless."
However, Tsunade's figure slowly appeared, and her voice followed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed slightly. Upon closer inspection, he realized that Tsunade was unharmed, and a wooden dragon was coiled around her, protecting her.
Wood Dragon Technique!
You've even mastered this technique?
It seems that Tsunade is quite proficient in Wood Release, which means she has been awakening Wood Release for some time, but she chose to hide it, which means that she had long intended to break with me, her teacher.
"Tsunade, your Wood Release is indeed very powerful, but it's still not enough compared to the First Hokage." Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised, but should he admit defeat?
That's impossible. We must maintain a tough stance and absolutely not show the slightest bit of fear.
"is it?"
Tsunade curled her lip in disdain.
She was only restrained from using powerful Wood Release ninjutsu because she was in the village; otherwise, the situation would not be like this. You should know that she had deliberately controlled both the Advent of the Tree World and the Wood Dragon Technique.
Otherwise, the situation would definitely not be like this, so this is because you deliberately held back. Otherwise, it would never have been like this. You're just overthinking it.
The composite ninjutsu has an even more powerful technique: releasing all five elemental ninjutsu simultaneously. However, this consumes a huge amount of chakra, but it's unavoidable now.
Hiruzen Sarutobi made up his mind, looked at Enma, and said, "Enma, buy me some time so I can recover my chakra."
"Hiruzhan, you..."
The ape demon was stunned, seemingly understanding something.
