Gradually, Gaara, who was in a deep sleep and was heavily enveloped by Shukaku, revealed his form.
Tsunade knew that in order to reseal Shukaku, she had to awaken Gaara.
Just as Tsunade was about to awaken Gaara, she suddenly sensed a deadly crisis approaching and had to hastily retreat.
After Tsunade retreated, many sand-gold spears suddenly shot out from where she had been standing.
Upon seeing this, Tsunade's expression hardened, and she turned her gaze to Rasa, who had appeared on Shukaku's shoulder at some point.
Without a doubt, the gold-plated spear that nearly killed him was made by Luo Sha.
In response, Tsunade frowned and questioned, "Rasa, as the Fourth Kazekage, why did you aid and abet evil? Why did you allow Shukaku to destroy Sunagakure?"
Faced with Tsunade's questioning, Rasa's expression remained unchanged, as cold as a robot, and he showed no intention of replying, simply continuing his attack on Tsunade.
Tsunade keenly sensed Rasa's abnormality and knew that Rasa was most likely being manipulated.
As for the person who manipulates Luo Sha, it goes without saying that it is the white-haired youth.
Tsunade also knew that only by defeating Rasa could she draw out the mastermind behind it all, namely the white-haired boy.
Thinking this, Tsunade let out a soft breath, her hands quickly forming hand seals, and she softly uttered, "Yin Seal - Release!!"
......
Chapter 629 The Death of Tsunade, the Tragedy of Konoha!
boom!
Tsunade's powerful punch struck Rasa again, sending him flying backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground.
Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is among the best in the ninja world.
Therefore, Tsunade knew very well that her punch had broken several of Rasa's sternums and even affected his internal organs.
Any human being suffering such severe injuries would, if not completely lose the ability to move, at least become weak and have their movements restricted.
But in Tsunade's eyes, Rasa stood up as if nothing had happened, and his movements were not restricted at all. He launched an attack directly at her.
This is not the first time this has happened.
Not only Rasa, but also Maki and Yura were the same. Despite being severely injured, even fatally wounded, each time, they could continue to attack him as if nothing had happened.
Faced with this bizarre situation, even Tsunade couldn't help but feel fear. She asked, puzzled and frustrated, "What's going on? Why are they completely unaffected by their injuries?"
"It's like...they can't feel pain!?"
Naturally, no one would answer Tsunade's questions.
The battle continues.
Faced with the combined attack of Rasa, Maki, Yura, and the utterly enraged Shukaku, who seemed to possess immortal bodies, Tsunade was still no match for them, even after activating her ultimate secret technique - Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth: Hundred Healings Technique, and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
If it weren't for the slug's powerful healing abilities, Tsunade would probably have died several times over.
Tsunade was well aware of this as well.
At the same time, Tsunade realized that her chakra wouldn't last much longer.
If one's chakra is insufficient to maintain the slug summoning, or to release the Yin Seal, then...
Thinking about it, Tsunade's heart sank.
The current situation is a matter of life and death for Tsunade.
The only hope is that Shizune can return to Konoha in time and inform Tobirama Senju of the situation, allowing Tobirama to arrive and provide support using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
If Tobirama Senju arrives, even if he is still no match for Tsunade, he can escape using a summoning jutsu.
Tsunade knew this too, which is why she kept gritting her teeth and persevering, fighting desperately.
Time passed slowly, and Tsunade's injuries multiplied, bringing her closer to her limit.
finally...
"I'm sorry, Tsunade..."
A gentle, weak, and sorrowful voice suddenly rang in Tsunade's ears.
Tsunade knew that the voice belonged to her summoning beast, the slug, and she also knew why the slug had said those words.
Because Tsunade's chakra was already depleted, she could not maintain the summoning technique, nor could she maintain the Yin Seal.
With a slight upturn of her lips, Tsunade forced a smile and replied, "Idiot, you've already done very well, why are you apologizing..."
As she spoke, Tsunade looked at the powerful attacks coming from all directions, seemingly foreseeing her death.
Life's revolving lantern flashed through Tsunade's mind at this moment.
Hashirama Senju, Mito Uzumaki, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Nawaki, Dan Kato, Shizune...
Looking at the people who had once appeared in her life, and at her rich and colorful past, Tsunade's fear of death vanished instantly.
A carefree smile appeared on Tsunade's face as she murmured, "My life, though it has regrets, has not been in vain..."
Goodbye, everyone...
at the same time.
Jiraiya, who had just left Kirigakure and was on his way to Iwakage to persuade the villagers, suddenly stopped in his tracks, a look of astonishment on his face, and unconsciously clutched his chest with his right hand.
Jiraiya could clearly sense that his heart was pounding violently with fear, as if... someone very important to him was leaving him.
Suddenly, Jiraiya seemed to see Tsunade smiling and waving at him before turning away and walking further and further away.
Instinctively, he reached out to grab Tsunade, not wanting her to leave, and tears uncontrollably streamed down his face.
But Jiraiya missed his target.
Feeling utterly lost and dejected, Jiraiya seemed to understand something. He immediately changed his destination and rushed desperately towards Konoha, his heart screaming, "Tsunade, please, please don't let anything happen to you!!"
Orochimaru, who had already moved his secret base into Konoha and was working diligently to create an experimental subject with Hashirama Senju's cells, also vaguely saw Tsunade's departing figure.
As if he had understood something, Orochimaru fell silent.
After a long silence, Orochimaru murmured, "I never thought you'd be the first among us to leave..."
A tear, unnoticed even by Orochimaru himself, slid down the corner of his eye.
On the other side, Shizune, who was anxiously waiting and praying frantically, suddenly heard Tsunade's voice say, "Thank you for all these years, Shizune..."
Upon hearing this, Shizune suddenly raised her head and looked around for Tsunade, but she couldn't find her anywhere.
Seemingly realizing something, Shizune's emotions collapsed, and she collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly.
Meanwhile, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who were on their way to provide support, seemed to sense something, their expressions suddenly turning grim, and they quickened their pace.
Soon, using Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique, they arrived at Tsunade's location.
Then, they saw a scene that was unbearable and heartbreaking.
Tsunade stood there on the ground, her clothes soaked in blood, and several gold-plated spears pierced her body.
This scene caused the legendary ninja Hashirama and Tobirama Senju to tremble uncontrollably.
Unable to accept this fact, Hashirama Senju staggered toward Tsunade, calling her name as he went, seemingly hoping to see her respond.
In the end, Hashirama Senju took an excessively long time to walk the distance of more than ten meters, and arrived at Tsunade's side trembling.
At that moment, Hashirama Senju finally confirmed the fact that Tsunade was dead.
Seeing the tragic death of his beloved granddaughter, even the God of Ninjas broke down, roaring and howling as endless grief and rage surged within him.
A terrifying burst of chakra erupted at that moment, and the surrounding trees seemed to be affected, swaying wildly and making a rustling sound.
Tobirama Senju couldn't help but clench his fists. If this body hadn't been a reanimated body, blood would have already flowed from his hands.
Like Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju also felt endless grief and anger rising in his heart, wishing he could tear the murderer of Tsunade to pieces.
Meanwhile, Chen Anxia also learned of Tsunade's death.
Without the slightest change in expression, Chen Anxia gazed intently at the sky and said, "Death is also the beginning of new life..."
......
Chapter 630 Jiraiya Returns, the Great Battle Approaches!
Konoha Village.
Jiraiya traveled day and night and finally made it back.
But when he reached the village entrance, Jiraiya stopped in his tracks, not daring to step into the village.
Jiraiya was afraid that the moment he stepped into the village, he would hear the worst news he could ever hope to hear.
Jiraiya was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Finally, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and stepped into the village.
The moment Jiraiya stepped into the village, his heart began to pound.
At the same time, Jiraiya felt his hearing was enhanced, allowing him to clearly hear the conversations of the surrounding villagers.
It was the sound of the surrounding villagers chatting that gradually put Jiraiya's mind at ease.
If Tsunade really gets into trouble, it will definitely be a major event for Konoha, and many people will discuss it.
However, Jiraiya did not hear anyone discussing anything related to Tsunade.
This means that the villagers were unaware of Tsunade's accident, and it also means that Tsunade was probably alright.
However, Jiraiya knew that he couldn't be 100% sure yet.
Because Tobirama Senju and other high-ranking officials of Konoha might conceal this matter in order not to shake the morale of the army.
Therefore, to confirm whether Tsunade is in any danger, we need to go to the Hokage's office and find the Acting Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
In Jiraiya's heart, he always believed that Tsunade was alright, or rather, he was hypnotizing himself.
With this in mind, Jiraiya arrived at the Hokage's office.
Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, Jiraiya immediately saw the figure with golden twin tails and wearing a tea-green robe with black trim.
Without a doubt, that figure is Tsunade.
