"Roar...!!"
As they watched, Kurama, whose eyes bore the pattern of the Sharingan, let out a fierce roar at the countless Konoha ninjas before him and the many more Konoha civilians further away.
An instant chill and violent aura struck fear into the hearts of countless ordinary ninjas, causing them to retreat repeatedly.
They had no courage to fight!
Konoha's ninjas, their morale had completely crumbled.
What's more, some civilians were so terrified by the Nine-Tails that they collapsed onto the ground.
It had to be said, when it came to scaring people... a monster like the Nine-Tails was actually more effective than the Susanoo Complete Body.
Even though the Susanoo Complete Body looked like it might be bigger than the Nine-Tails!
Perhaps it was because monsters like the Nine-Tails inherently possessed brutality and killing intent!
Just a glance from afar could make someone wet themselves from sheer terror.
During this time, Tsunade Hime, Jiraiya, Gamabunta, Gamahiro, Gamaken, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, Hyuga Hiashi, Shikaku Nara, and many other powerful individuals couldn't help but feel their hearts pound as they gazed at the enormous Nine-Tails demon fox before them.
However:
"Do you have any last words?"
Clad in red armor, with hair cascading to her waist, Chen Yiban, whose Eternal Mangekyo eyes glowed crimson, sat cross-legged on the Nine-Tails' head, smiling as he looked at every Konoha ninja and the few toads from Mount Myōboku before him.
As he spoke, Chen Yiban even propped his chin on one hand, appearing incredibly arrogant.
This lazy demeanor was simply unmatched!
This small gesture...
Somehow, it plunged the already despairing Konoha forces even deeper into the abyss.
"Enough, enough, we can't possibly win."
"I don't want to fight anymore, I want to live, I want to leave Konoha!!"
"I'm leaving too, we can't win! We absolutely cannot win!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I can't die..."
As they watched, Overwhelmed by despair, Konoha ninjas with fragile psyches and countless surrounding civilians simply fell to their knees.
"Lord Madara, please, don't... don't kill me."
At this moment, some of the Konoha ninjas and civilians who had knelt begged Chen Yiban for mercy.
"You guys..." Tsunade Hime's face was filled with anger.
But, She wanted to retort, yet Tsunade ultimately couldn't bring herself to speak.
Because:
Thinking about it, they hadn't actually done anything wrong!
Who wouldn't want to live?
If there were even the slightest sliver of hope to defeat the enemy, Tsunade Hime believed that these people of Konoha wouldn't resort to such humble pleas for mercy from the enemy.
Wasn't it simply that they had no other choice?
It was truly as the saying went: The legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara... was too strong!
So strong that everyone on the scene at this moment felt despair!!
And that absolutely included Tsunade Hime, because she also knew:
The current Chen Yiban was even more invincible!
The original Chen Yiban was already overwhelmingly powerful.
Now, he had forcibly released Naruto's seal and controlled the Nine-Tails.
An enemy like this...
Tsunade Hime truly didn't know how Konoha's current dispirited forces could possibly resist.
"Madara!"
"Are you really going to wipe us all out?"
Tsunade Hime, mustering her last bit of strength, took a step forward and shouted in a clear voice.
"Tsunade..." At this moment, Jiraiya, extremely weakened, also arrived beside Tsunade at the opportune moment.
"Tsunade girl, Little Jiraiya is nearing his limit," Sage Fukasaku on Jiraiya's shoulder said, looking towards Tsunade Hime.
"Jiraiya," Tsunade Hime worriedly went to support Jiraiya.
but discovered... Jiraiya couldn't even maintain Sage Mode anymore!
And that severed arm, it had stopped bleeding earlier. But the battle against Chen Yiban's Shadow Clone's Susanoo Stage Three had caused Jiraiya's severed arm to bleed profusely once more!
Jiraiya had already been heavily injured by a single sword strike from "Susanoo Complete Body,"
By this point, Jiraiya was just holding on.
Jiraiya had already done his best!
It wasn't that Jiraiya was weak. It was that the enemy was outrageously strong!
"Tsunade, take everyone and leave Konoha. I... I'll hold off the enemy!"
Jiraiya's face was pale, but his gaze was resolute and firm.
He was truly preparing to sacrifice himself completely to save the others in Konoha!
In response, Tsunade Hime said nothing. She simply channeled the little remaining Chakra within her body with her hands, healing Jiraiya.
"Lady Tsunade, please let me do it." Beside them, Katsuyu moved its body to Jiraiya's side and began using its abilities to heal him.
Thus, Tsunade Hime stopped her Medical Ninjutsu output.
Immediately:
"Madara!"
"If you must find someone to exact revenge for history..."
"As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, I am willing to face your revenge alone."
"But the others in Konoha are innocent. I hope... you won't slaughter them all!"
Tsunade Hime stood alone before the Nine-Tails, looking directly at Chen Yiban on the Nine-Tails' head.
"Tsunade..." Jiraiya wanted to stop Tsunade Hime.
"Innocent?"
But Chen Yiban finally spoke, refuting Tsunade Hime's words:
"During an avalanche, do you think... any single snowflake is innocent?"
Hearing this, Tsunade was speechless.
However, Tsunade still asked unwillingly, "Then what do you want? Do you really intend to slaughter all the tens of thousands of people in Konoha?"
It's not wrong!
However, Tsunade Hime wished she could bite Chen Yiban to death!!
And then...
Little by little, more and more Konoha ninjas and civilians knelt before Chen Yiban on the giant Nine-Tails' head, showing their submission.
During this time, seeing Chen Yiban, who seemed to have already killed Naruto Uzumaki and countless Konoha ninjas, Ayame, the daughter of Teuchi from the original story, seemed unwilling to kneel before him.
She stubbornly stood tall amidst the kneeling crowd, like a crane among chickens!
Only when Uncle Teuchi came over and forcefully pulled her down to kneel with him did Ayame finally kneel, still indignant!
Finally, Tsunade Hime, with a somber gaze, supported the heavily injured Jiraiya and prepared to leave Konoha village.
She had only returned not long ago to become the glorious Fifth Hokage!
She just hadn't expected...
Should it be called fate playing tricks?
Tsunade Hime knew: Chen Yiban definitely wouldn't allow her, the so-called Fifth Hokage, to remain.
Therefore, Tsunade Hime chose to leave!
Moreover, not everyone chose to submit to Chen Yiban.
Many Jonin from the original Konoha, such as Kakashi, Shikaku Nara, Kurenai Yuhi, Anko Mitarashi, and others, still followed Tsunade Hime.
However:
"Did I say you could leave?"
Chen Yiban, with his Sharingan eyes glowing crimson, hands crossed in front of him on the Nine-Tails' head, smiled faintly as he looked at Tsunade Hime, who had turned to support Jiraiya and was preparing to leave.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade Hime, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others were all startled!
"What... do you want?" Tsunade Hime immediately turned back, her beautiful eyes glaring vigilantly at Chen Yiban on top of the Nine-Tails' head.
Is he really going to wipe them all out?
Tsunade Hime couldn't help but think.
"You are useful to me. So, Hashirama's granddaughter, right? You can't leave!" Chen Yiban continued to say with a faint smile, his arms still crossed.
"You..." Tsunade Hime glared fiercely at Chen Yiban from afar.
But she was helpless!
She couldn't win!
It was truly as he said.
"Why? Why does it have to be Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked, stepping forward with a pale face.
"Even the wisest can err. This woman's Medical Ninjutsu, I must admit... is indeed quite good!"
Chen Yiban said with a faint smile.
His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye was currently unable to be freely closed or opened because his own technique was insufficient after the recent transplant.
And this problem...
For Tsunade Hime, a Medical Master, it was definitely a piece of cake.
But beyond that... Chen Yiban also wanted the Asura Chakra contained within the Asura flesh and blood stored in a certain slot in his system space.
So, he needed Tsunade Hime again!
It didn't matter if the entire Konoha left, but Tsunade Hime had to stay!!
As for the possibility of...
Her disobeying or causing trouble...
Why did Chen Yiban think he needed to assassinate Shimura Danzō and take his head?
Wasn't it because of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, Kotoamatsukami!!
As I said before: Before Chen Yiban came to Konoha today, he had planned almost everything.
Might Guy of the Eight Gates was the first!
Shimura Danzō was the second!
Minato Namikaze was the third!
The fourth... was her, Tsunade Hime!
Chen Yiban had clear goals for what he wanted!
And... anyone who stands in my way, dies!!
