Radiation Domain

The next second, thick mist appeared all around them. As it spread, they could not see their own hands before their faces.

Screams rang out from within, each one marking the death of a ninja.

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

"Careful! The enemy is here!"

Tsunade's expression darkened. She had been so eager to save people that she had fallen into the enemy's trap. Forcing herself to calm down, she opened her eyes again, and a flash of resolve passed through them.

"The battle ahead will be extremely 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 a summoning technique.

A massive Slug appeared, blocking the surroundings and preventing the enemy from advancing even an inch.

"Lady Tsunade."

The blue-and-white Slug was still 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 preserve their lives."

Standing atop the Slug's head, Tsunade could see figures slaughtering people nearby. Kirigakure clearly had no intention of letting them go.

"Understood, Lady Tsunade."

Yuu did not stay by Tsunade's side. This kind of battle did not belong to him, and he had a more important role to play.

At that moment, Yuu had hidden himself in the shadows and was stirring the radioactive elements within his body. However, the area was far too vast, and it would take some time to fully spread them.

"Kirigakure ninja, I wonder if you can bear these losses."

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

The flowers, grass, and trees around him slowly withered, as though all moisture had been drained from them, before finally turning into clumps of black ash.

The Slug split into countless smaller bodies, wrapping around the less severely injured ninja. Then, with the sound of a fist cutting through the air, Tsunade shattered the newly formed Hidden Mist Technique with a single punch.

Within the mist, a group of Kirigakure ninja wore mocking smiles. Their leader, an Elite Jonin, gripped a ninja sword with strands of electricity flowing across its blade. He was also one of this generation's Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

As though admiring his prey, his tone carried a hint of delight.

"I never thought we'd catch such a big fish! If I kill you, it will be an unprecedented blow to Konoha!"

Tsunade knew of Kirigakure's trump card unit, which held a great reputation throughout the Shinobi World. The ninja sword before her was among those recorded.

"The wielder of Lightning Fang? Do you think these people alone can kill me?!"

Yuxia Tianzhong looked even more disdainful. He was a ninja who had been famous for a long time. Although Tsunade possessed many impressive titles, in a true battle, he believed he could definitely kill her.

In an instant, lightning erupted, blazing with a deep azure glow.

"Lightning Release! Lightning Ball!"

Lightning-nature chakra flowed onto the blade. The Lightning Ball formed from their convergence possessed immense destructive power and arrived before Tsunade in an instant.

Crack!

The battle between the two immediately reached a fever pitch. However, judging solely by their exchanges, Yuxia Tianzhong's attacks were more powerful.

Amegakure experienced rain year-round, and with the influence of lightning, bolts of lightning formed overhead as well.

Combined with the conductivity of the rainwater, Yuxia Tianzhong held every advantage of time and terrain. He gave Tsunade no chance to catch her breath.

Their battle fell into a stalemate. With the surrounding ninja joining in to besiege Tsunade, no one noticed Uchiha Yuu in the distance.

Radiation mixed into the rainwater on the breeze. Yuu's face was somewhat pale. He could not generate a radiation source himself; he needed to absorb the radiation contained in sunlight. Releasing so much at once was difficult to endure even for Uchiha Yuu.

"Whew!"

"Today, I'll show you just how terrifying radiation is."

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

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

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

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

"Die, brat!"

His hand rose, and his blade fell!

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

In an instant, Uchiha Yuu activated his genjutsu. Terror appeared on the man's face. He had grown increasingly proficient with the Hell Viewing Technique. Using the eyes as a medium, he could easily pull his opponent into an illusion.

The companion beside him saw that Yutaro's body had gone still, followed by his scream. Combined with the Uchiha Clan's eyes, he immediately knew that Yutaro had fallen into an illusion and promptly used a ninjutsu.

"Water Release! Water Chaos Wave!"

A stream of water sprayed from his mouth, heading directly toward Uchiha Yuu.

"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!"

Their clash kicked up layers of water mist. Although Yuu's Great Fireball Technique was more powerful than an ordinary Fireball Jutsu, a drizzling rain had been falling constantly in the surrounding area.

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

However, he was not in a hurry. As time passed, victory would only belong to him.

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

The surrounding Slugs rapidly carried the wounded away from the battlefield. Tsunade had tied down most of the main force, and together with the remaining Chunin, the enemy would need to put in considerable effort to wipe them out. They might even have to pay the price in casualties.

"Cough, cough."

After exchanging more than a dozen moves with Uchiha Yuu, Tian Yeshui felt something was wrong with his body and could not help coughing twice.

Looking at the blood staining his hands, his pupils contracted as he said in horror.

"Damn brat! When did you poison me?!"

Limited by his knowledge, Tian Yeshui mistook it for poisoning. He immediately swallowed an antidote pill, only to discover that it had no effect whatsoever.

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 large area. Otherwise, he would have died the moment he came into contact with them.

Moreover, because he had fought Uchiha Yuu and been exposed to Fire Release, the radioactive elements had concentrated, intensifying the damage to his body.

"Damn it!"

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

"Damn brat, die!"

"Water Release! Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

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

The spectacle of his Water Dragon Bullet Technique was far too grand, drawing the attention of the surrounding Kirigakure ninja.

When they saw Tian Yeshui coughing up blood while releasing the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, their faces filled with shock. How had fighting a mere brat left him so severely injured?!

As the Water Dragon Bullet Technique took shape, his life reached its end.

The dragon's head was stained with his blood.

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

The power of radiation erupted and claimed his life.

Facing the out-of-control Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Uchiha Yuu chose to leap aside.
