At the same time, a gentle aura emanated from Tsunade. It differed from Kitahara Kaede's surging life energy, yet it was immensely nourishing, like a silent spring rain. It was Tsunade's power of order.

And there were countless of them before their eyes—tens of thousands!
"How could this be?!"
"How could anyone be so cruel?!"
