Danzo, You Just Wait For Me!

The fine rain fell continuously, like a curtain descending, raising a hazy mist.

"Just don't let anything happen to you, kid!"

Tsunade carried the unconscious Little Hikari on her back, her clothes soaked by the rain and clinging to her proud figure, subtly revealing a hint of alluring scenery.

The landscape ahead flashed past her like a rewind, the wind whistling in her ears.

"Hanzo. You'd better pray he's alright, or I swear, I'll kill you!"

At this moment, she was filled with immense regret, hating herself for being so careless and falling for such an obvious trap.

Just fifteen minutes ago, she had found Little Hikari abandoned in the jungle, and at the same time realized it was a trap deliberately set by the enemy, intended to lure her away from Uchiha Sōgetsu.

Although she couldn't understand why Hanzo would do this, one thing was certain: Uchiha Sōgetsu was in danger!

Finally, with Tsunade sprinting at full speed, it took about fifteen minutes to return to that area.

"This is..."

Tsunade suddenly stopped, a hint of shock in her beautiful eyes.

The entire valley was almost destroyed, with traces of fierce fighting everywhere, filled with the destructive sights caused by powerful ninjutsu like Fire Style and Wind Style.

No. He'll be fine.

Tsunade bit her pink lips, comforting herself in her heart.

Then, she suppressed her emotions, took several deep breaths, and mustered the courage to go deeper.

On the muddy ground, wet from the rain, traces of blood could still be seen washed away. Tsunade followed the droplets of blood and finally found the boy, unconscious from severe injuries, behind a broken giant rock. A large pool of blood had gathered around him.

"Kid?!"

Tsunade exclaimed in surprise and rushed over, crouching down to examine the boy's injuries.

"It's alright. No vital organs were hit, just a lot of blood loss." She frowned tightly, gritting her teeth, her beautiful eyes burning with anger. "Salamander poison... It really was Hanzo!"

However, fortunately, it seemed someone had bandaged his wounds, allowing him to hold on until she arrived.

The heart that had been in her throat finally settled.

Tsunade's taut nerves relaxed. The nightmare that had haunted her mind had, this time, not come true.

"Don't worry, kid." A hint of tenderness flickered in her eyes as she stroked the boy's handsome face and said softly, "I won't let you die here!"

In that instant, past and present seemed to overlap in her mind.

The boy with his eyes closed before her resembled Dan and Nawaki from the past, their figures gradually merging with his.

"Calm down, Tsunade, you can do this!"

Tsunade kept taking deep breaths. Although she still had slight hemophobia, she could manage to overcome it.

Just then, someone who didn't know their place suddenly interrupted her.

"Quick, Lord Hanzo is here!"

"Ah, someone killed Lord Hanzo! Who was it?!"

"Look, it's Tsunade!"

"It must have been her who killed Lord Hanzo!"

The elites of Amegakure arrived at the scene and discovered Hanzo, who looked like a dried corpse.

Instantly, the elite Jonin of Amegakure, already harboring hostility, immediately targeted Konoha's Tsunade, believing her to be the murderer of Hanzo.

"Tsunade, how dare you kill our leader!"

"Capture her! Make her pay for Lord Hanzo's death!"

Swish swish swish!

More than a dozen elite ninja from Amegakure attacked without question.

Tsunade calmly bit her finger and pressed it to the ground. "Summoning Jutsu: Slug!"

Bang!

With a puff of smoke, two slugs as large as humans appeared.

"Lord Slug, please protect them."

After giving the order, Tsunade turned decisively and took a step forward, blocking the dozen Amegakure ninja.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

The slugs responded and slowly crawled onto the two, swallowing them into their bodies.

"Since Hanzo is dead, then this debt..."

Tsunade, who usually had a playful smile, now had a face as cold as frost. She clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking audibly. "I'll collect it from you!"

"What are you afraid of? She's only one person!"

The leading Amegakure ninja swallowed hard and shouted, "There are over a dozen of us here. Do you think she can kill us all?!"

"That's right!" The remaining Amegakure ninja agreed. "We are elites personally trained by Lord Hanzo. Together, we might even be able to kill one of the Sannin!"

In the time it took to speak, over a dozen Amegakure ninja gripped their kunai and launched a fierce assault.

However, one Amegakure ninja was different. He didn't charge towards Tsunade; instead, he fled without hesitation, not looking back.

"Kill Tsunade? How dare you be so shameless!"

The Amegakure ninja cursed through gritted teeth as he ran, raging inwardly, "With us pathetic weaklings, how dare we even think of fighting Konoha's Legendary Sannin?"

Having followed Hanzo through the Second Great Ninja War, he knew exactly how much weight the words "Konoha's Legendary Sannin" carried.

"Mortal Blow!!!"

His enraged figure leaped high, his right leg crashing down like a battle axe.

RUMBLE!!!

The very earth seemed to tremble, letting out a desperate shriek.

Fueled by extreme fury, Princess Tsunade, who had once struck fear into the entire ninja world, finally unleashed her astonishing destructive power. She slammed her foot onto the hard rock surface, like a meteor falling from the sky. Her immense, unstoppable strength instantly kicked up a blast wave tens of meters high, which swept out with devastating force.

In an instant, the dozen elite Amegakure ninja were like they had met divine retribution. Their flesh and blood bodies were crushed without any ability to resist.

The fleeing Amegakure ninja's vision blurred, and his throat felt like it was being choked by iron tongs.

What greeted his eyes was none other than that beautiful, mature, yet ice-cold face.

"You have only one chance."

Tsunade tightened her grip, lifting him directly off the ground. Her eyes were as cold as knives. "Who ordered Hanzo to attack him?"

"It-it was Konoha people..." the Amegakure ninja gasped, struggling desperately, his face turning bright red. He no longer dared to hide anything, stammering, "Root's Danzo sent people... ordered Lord Hanzo to kill that person and take his Sharingan."

"Danzo again!"

Tsunade was instantly enraged. A flicker of killing intent flashed in her ice-cold eyes. "You old fossil, I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

In her agitation, she couldn't control her strength.

CRACK!

The Amegakure ninja's eyes widened as his neck snapped, life draining from his pupils.

He never expected to die so unjustly. He had given up the intel, yet he still couldn't escape death.

As if seeing the question in the Amegakure ninja's eyes, Tsunade's expression remained unchanged, but she felt no guilt. She simply said indifferently, "Oh, sorry, I lost control for a moment. Who told you your neck was so fragile? It broke with just a little force."

"Danzo, is it? You just wait!"

Leaving the corpse behind, Tsunade snorted coldly. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, her beautiful face contorted with fury. "Do you really think the kid has no one backing him? If I don't make you bleed, you won't know the might of the Senju Clan!"

She, Princess Tsunade.

The last bloodline of the Senju Clan, the Third Hokage's personal disciple, the founder of Konoha's medical system, and the acting director of Konoha Hospital!

Today, she would measure just how capable his Root Division truly was!
