Tianqi Appears on the Western Battlefield

After greeting Tianqi's family, and seeing the ninjas around him dying in the explosions, Ghost Lantern Eiji gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't save anyone now, so he could only grit his teeth and hurry away from the Thorn Forest.

Three minutes later.

After the explosion, Ghost Lantern Eiji rushed out, covered in blood. Although most of the blood came from other ninjas, he only suffered minor injuries.

Looking at the ninjas rushing out from around him, Ghost Lantern Eiji felt utterly dejected. "Only a thousand out of five thousand ninjas have made it out. How am I supposed to explain this kind of loss?"

Tsunade's men returned from their mission: "Something terrible has happened! The Thorn Forest has exploded, and the other three units have suffered heavy losses!"

"Huh! An explosion? How could the Thorn Forest explode?!" Jiraiya was completely bewildered when he heard this.

"Explosion? I see. It seems this Thorn Forest wasn't meant to stop us; it's a trap. They waited until we were deep Thorn Forest before detonating it, maximizing the damage they could inflict. Tianqi, you've got a real plan," Orochimaru said slowly.

"That's not right. If this is a trap, why didn't it explode here?" Orochimaru asked Tsunade, frowning.

"Who knows? Maybe the explosion here went silent." Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with a strange expression. He had a feeling that the lack of an explosion here might be because of Tsunade. Perhaps Tianqi discovered Tsunade here and prevented the explosion.

"Forget about whether it's malfunctioning or not, let's clear the thorns quickly." Tsunade didn't think much about it; at this moment, all she wanted was to see Tianqi as soon as possible.

Tianqi also arrived in the west, where he saw Uchiha Yuming and the others who had already entered Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.

"Don't rush to attack. Let them come over. I want to play with them myself," Tianqi said, then looked at the Thorn Forest in front of him. "If nothing unexpected happens, Tsunade will come from here soon. Come on, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, let me see just how much you've grown."

Uchiha Madara watched the thorns explode, somewhat surprised. "So that's how it is. This is Hashirama's Wood Release: Great Forest Collapse Technique. It's a pity that this technique isn't powerful enough; it only wiped out some of the weaker ones. If it were powerful enough, it could definitely take all these ninjas away."

"But why wasn't there an explosion to the west? Let me see what's going on."

Then the illusory figure trembled, and the scene shifted to the western battlefield. He frowned as he looked at the person in the scene. "Hmm? This blonde girl's face looks so familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. Where have I seen her before?"

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "It's him! No wonder he looks so familiar. His face is half like Hashirama's. So this girl must be Tianqi's wife, which means she's Hashirama's granddaughter."

"Hehe, no wonder the west side didn't explode, it's because your wife is in the west. Tianqi, let's see what you do this time," Ban chuckled and continued watching.

Meanwhile, A and his team received a message from Ghost Lantern Eiji: "Damn Uchiha Tianqi! Useless Mizukage! We haven't even seen him yet and we've already lost 12,000 men, utter trash!" A slammed his fist on the table, shattering it completely.

"Hehe, I told you to be careful, or you'd regret it later, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened!" Danzo pleased to see Ai so angry, and he didn't forget to mock him.

"Hmph, Third Hokage, keep your subordinates in check, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Ai rolled his eyes at Danzo and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, not taking Danzo, a clown, seriously at all.

"Now is not the time to make a fuss, let's think about what to do." After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. Others might not know, but he knew very well that Tianqi was using the First Hokage's Wood Release: Tree Collapse.

I never expected Tianqi to use the First Hokage's Wood Release technique. How could this Ninjutsu, which could quell chaos, appear in the body of an Uchiha? Tianqi, how many secrets do you still have?

"Hmph, what else can he do? Once the main force arrives, it will be Uchiha Tianqi's death day. He's just struggling in his death throes. I don't believe he can win against so many ninjas," Ai Leng sneered.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lacked A's imposing presence; he had a feeling that things weren't so simple.

On the other side, Tsunade and the others only had ten meters left to clear.

Looking at the last twenty meters of thorns, both the sensory ninja and Orochimaru sensed that there were several enemies behind them, and the leader was ridiculously strong.

"Attention everyone, the last twenty meters! The enemy is coming!" Orochimaru, as the regimental commander of the western force, shouted the order.

"An enemy? Orochimaru, you sensed it?" Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, Jiraiya chimed in, "Orochimaru, how many people are on the other side?"

"I think all the sensory ninjas have sensed it. There are ten of them, and judging from the senses, the leader's chakra is terrifyingly strong. I think it should be Chakra Uchiha Tianqi." Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade and didn't hide anything, directly stating what he had sensed.

"!!! Tianqi! Orochimaru, are you sure you didn't sense it wrong? He, he really is right behind here!" Upon hearing that it was Tianqi, Tsunade looked at Orochimaru with excitement.

"Orochimaru, you're not kidding, are you? He's really just twenty meters away?" Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru in shock.

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that it's 80% him."

"All ninjas, be alert! The enemy Leader is coming. Get ready. Don't underestimate the enemy!" After answering his two teammates, Orochimaru turned to the remaining ninjas and said.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, the Allied Shinobi Forces drew their weapons and looked ahead warily.

Having received Orochimaru's affirmative answer and knowing that Tianqi was only twenty meters away from her, Tsunade lost her composure.

She stared ahead, a black diamond-shaped mark appearing on her forehead. Years of Chakra accumulation had finally reached its peak. "The Strength of a Hundred Technique is finally complete. Tianqi, wait for me!" she said, clenching her fist and gathering Chakra.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru noticed Tsunade's actions. "Tsunade, calm down! Don't be impulsive," they advised, seeing Tsunade's anxiety.

Tsunade did not stop moving; blue Chakra materialized on her fist, and the Chakra gathering was complete.

"Ah!!! Disappear!" Tsunade punched the ground with all her might, causing the earth to shake violently and crack open.

Under Tsunade's full-force attack, rocks and thorns were all sent flying.

"Tsunade, you..." Orochimaru and Jiraiya swayed, looking at Tsunade in disbelief. As teammates, they had never known that Tsunade possessed such power.

The rest of the group stared in shock at Tsunade at the front, thinking, "Such terrifying power! Is this what Konoha Ninja are like?"

Tsunade ignored everyone; her gaze was fixed ahead, fixed on the figure she had been longing for day and night.
