Tsunade raised her head and swept her gaze around her. Rage and despair filled her eyes!
Konoha had been a thriving village! In an instant, it had become a vast crater surrounded by Ruins!
She had never seen anything this horrifying, not even in her nightmares!
A figure dropped from above with a rush of air.
His shoes crunched against the rubble at the bottom of the crater. The hem of his robe fluttered in the air, making him look relaxed and unhurried.
Yongye!
Last time, he had dug the pit on a whim. Now he had come to reap the rewards.
He landed beside Tsunade without a scratch on him. His gaze drifted down to her neckline as he gloated and drove the knife in.
"I told you."
"Orochimaru's companions were no pushovers. Fighting them wasn't worth the cost."
"But you wouldn't listen. You did whatever you pleased."
"And now you've brought disaster on Konoha, haven't you?"
"The strongest hidden village has become the biggest crater!"
"All because of your arrogance. Because you refused to listen!"
Tsunade was already in agony. That blow only made it worse. The hand bracing her against the ground clenched, her nails digging into the dirt beneath her palm.
She stared at the enormous crater and the Ruins, overwhelmed by regret and too devastated even to cry!
[Ding—target Tsunade detected. Her defenses have completely crumbled.] [Because of her own arrogance, Konoha suffered a devastating calamity. More than half the village was reduced to Ruins, and countless ninja and villagers were buried beneath the rubble. Casualties were severe.] [Emotional damage has far exceeded the threshold.] [Congratulations, Host. You have received one Super Mystery Box. Open it now?]
Yongye drew his gaze away from Tsunade's lowered neckline, and his smile grew brighter.
"Open it."
