Radiation Field

The next second, thick mist appeared all around them. With the fog spreading everywhere, they could not see their hands in front of their faces.

Screams rang out from within. Every scream represented the death of a ninja.

Naturally, the Hidden Mist Village would not let these wounded Konoha ninja leave. They were waiting for the final opportunity.

"Watch out! The enemy is here!"

Tsunade's expression darkened. She had been too eager to save people and had fallen into the enemy's scheme. Forcibly calming herself, determination flashed through her eyes when she opened them again.

"The next battle will be incredibly chaotic. Take the chance to break through toward the outskirts. Don't worry about me. They can't catch me."

Her hands rapidly formed seals as she performed the Summoning Technique.

A gigantic slug appeared, blocking the surrounding area and preventing the enemy from advancing even an inch.

"Lady Tsunade."

The blue-and-white slug had been wondering where it was when it saw Tsunade's grim expression.

"Slug, I need your help next. Split into smaller bodies and attach yourselves to these wounded people. Do your best to keep them alive."

Standing atop the slug's head, Tsunade could see figures slaughtering people in the distance. The Hidden Mist Village had no intention of letting them go.

"Understood, Lady Tsunade."

You did not remain by Tsunade's side. This kind of battle was not for him, and he had a more important role to play.

At that moment, You had hidden himself in the shadows, circulating the radioactive elements within his body. However, the area was extremely vast, and it would take some time to spread them completely.

"Hidden Mist Village ninja, I wonder whether you can bear this kind of loss."

He unleashed the power of the radioactive elements without restraint. Even You could not imagine the destruction they would cause.

The flowers, grass, and trees around him slowly withered, as though they had lost all moisture, eventually turning into black ash.

The slug split into countless smaller bodies and wrapped around the less severely wounded ninja. Then came the sound of a fist cutting through the air, and Tsunade shattered the Mist Concealment Technique with a single punch.

Within the mist, a group of Mist ninja wore mocking smiles. Their leader, an elite jonin, held a ninja sword with streams of electricity flowing over its blade. He was also one of this generation's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

As though admiring his prey, he spoke with delight in his voice.

"I didn't expect to catch such a big fish! If I kill you, it will be an unprecedented blow to Konoha!"

Tsunade knew of the Hidden Mist Village's trump card unit, renowned throughout the ninja world. She recognized the ninja sword before her.

"Thunder Fang's wielder? Do you think these people alone can kill me?!"

Mishita Tanaka looked even more disdainful. He was a ninja who had been famous for a long time. Although Tsunade possessed many impressive titles, in a real fight, he believed he could definitely kill her.

In an instant, lightning exploded, flashing with deep blue radiance.

"Lightning Release! Lightning Ball!"

Lightning-nature chakra flowed onto the blade, and the Lightning Ball formed by their convergence possessed immense destructive power as it instantly arrived before Tsunade.

Crack!

The battle between the two immediately reached a fever pitch. However, judging purely by their combat strength, Mishita Tanaka's attacks were more powerful.

Rain Village experienced rainfall year-round, and now, under the influence of lightning, thunderbolts formed overhead as well.

Combined with the rainwater's conductivity, Mishita Tanaka held every advantage of time and terrain. He would not give Tsunade the slightest chance to catch her breath.

Their battle entered a stalemate, and with the surrounding ninja joining in to besiege Tsunade, no one paid any attention to Uchiha Yū in the distance.

Radiation drifted through the breeze and mixed with the rainwater. You's face was somewhat pale. He could not produce radiation himself; he needed to absorb the radiation contained in sunlight. Releasing so much at once was more than even Uchiha Yū could bear.

"Whew!"

"Today, I'll show you the terror of radiation."

After finishing all this, Uchiha Yū stood up. Two Rain Village ninja nearby noticed that someone had been hiding in the grass.

"So there was another coward here. Too bad we found you."

Yutaro sneered faintly. What he despised most were brats who had never been on a battlefield. Whenever they encountered enemies, they only knew how to cower in place and wait for someone else to rescue them.

He had killed countless people like this. His ninja sword extended as he slowly approached Uchiha Yū, like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Die, brat!"

The blade rose and fell!

Yet unlike what Yutaro had imagined, blood did not splash onto him. Instead, he met a pair of one-tomoe Sharingan.

In that instant, Uchiha Yū activated his genjutsu. Terror filled the other man's expression. He had become increasingly adept at using the Hell Viewing Technique; using his eyes as a medium, he could easily drag his opponent into an illusion.

His companion beside him saw Yutaro standing motionless, then heard his screams. Seeing Uchiha's eyes as well, he knew Yutaro had fallen into an illusion and immediately used a ninjutsu.

"Water Release! Water Turbulence!"

A stream of water shot from his mouth, aimed directly at Uchiha Yū before him.

"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!"

Their collision produced layers of mist. Although You's Great Fireball was stronger than an ordinary fireball, a light drizzle continued to fall throughout the area.

Ninjutsu depended heavily on the environment, making it impossible for Uchiha Yū to pressure his opponent in a short time.

However, he was not flustered. As time passed, victory would only belong to him.

After forcing the enemy back, Uchiha Yū took out a kunai and killed the enemy beside him who had fallen under the genjutsu.

The surrounding slugs quickly moved the wounded away from the battlefield. Tsunade had tied down most of the enemy's main force, and with the remaining chunin as well, the enemy would need to expend considerable effort to swallow them up, perhaps even suffering casualties in the process.

"Cough, cough."

After exchanging more than a dozen moves with Uchiha Yū, Tianyeshui felt something wrong with his body and could not help coughing twice.

Looking at the blood staining his hands, his pupils shrank as he said in horror, "Damn brat! When did you poison me?!"

Limited by his knowledge, Tianyeshui mistook it for poison and immediately swallowed an antidote pill, only to find that it had no effect.

Instead, his body began to itch, and blisters had already appeared on the skin beneath his clothes.

Unfortunately, the radioactive elements released into the surroundings had been greatly diluted due to the vast area. Otherwise, the enemy would have died the instant he came into contact with them.

Furthermore, after fighting Uchiha Yū and being exposed to Fire Release, the radioactive elements had concentrated around him, worsening the damage to his body.

"Damn it!"

The antidote pill had no effect, and his condition was worsening by the moment. Knowing that he would die if this continued, Tianyeshui hardened his heart and glared at his opponent through gritted teeth.

"Damn brat, die!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Gathering all his chakra together and drawing in the surrounding rainwater, an enormous water dragon appeared, baring its fangs and claws.

The scene of him using the Water Dragon Bullet was simply too grand, drawing the attention of the surrounding Mist ninja.

Seeing Tianyeshui vomiting blood while unleashing the Water Dragon Bullet, they could not help staring in shock. How had fighting a mere brat resulted in such grievous injuries?

As the Water Dragon Bullet took shape, his life also approached its end.

The dragon's head was stained with his blood.

With the sound of a body hitting the ground, Tianyeshui's corpse lay there silently, covered in pustules of varying sizes.

The power of radiation erupted and claimed his life.

Facing the out-of-control Water Dragon Bullet, Uchiha Yū leaped away to evade it.
