What receded like the tide was not only the violent Chakra of Five-Tails Kokuō, but also the voices of everyone on the battlefield.
The white steam of Boil Release gradually dissipated, revealing the swamp that had been completely ravaged and changed the landscape. A huge glass-shaped pit with a diameter of more than a hundred meters silently told the just now The horror of Tailed Beast Bomb. At the other end of the battlefield, countless huge Wood Dragons flashing with golden runes were like a cage, tightly binding the unconscious Five-Tails Jinchuriki man in mid-air.
The survivors of Konoha and Amegakure were holding weapons, covered in mud, and breathing heavily. They looked at this incredible scene, and looked at the child kneeling on one knee, pale but still tall, with a mixture of joy for surviving the disaster, incredible shock, and an almost fanatical admiration in their eyes.
win...
Facing Iwagakure's most elite troops and two Perfect Jinchuriki, they not only won, but also captured one alive!
This is no longer a victory, but a myth.
"Cough..." Senju Chen coughed lightly and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air with blood streaks. He forcibly transferred Tailed Beast Bomb, and finally used "Adamantine Summoning Wood" without reservation, which put a huge load on his body.
But the feeling inside his body was completely opposite to the weakness on the outside.
Adamantine Summoning Wood extracted a large amount of Five-Tails's Chakra, which is still being fed back into his body in a steady stream at this moment. The meridians and total amount of Chakra in his body were forcibly widened and elevated in a barbaric and crude way during this battle. They have already surpassed the scope of Elite Jonin and are moving towards an incalculable realm.
More importantly, Sumashi's lifelong combat experience and battlefield command ability continuously impacted his sea of consciousness. At this moment, when he looked at this messy battlefield, what came to his mind was no longer a chaotic scene, but an extremely clear chessboard. The position of every ninja, the state of every person, and even the direction of the wind blowing through the swamp, were all turned into chess pieces that could be used.
Senju Chen slowly stood up and glanced across the audience. He saw that for the first time in Orochimaru's golden snake eyes, scrutiny and playfulness had faded away, replaced by a complex light that was almost equal, with extreme surprise and appreciation. He saw the undisguised awe and fear on Hanzo of the Salamander's resolute face after taking off his mask.
He also saw those companions of Konoha, Shisui Uchiha, Maruboshi Kosuke... In their eyes, there was pride and conviction from the bottom of their hearts.
These have nothing to do with age, but everyone's heartfelt attitude toward the strong.
The tragic defeat of Weeping Swamp was like a Category 12 super hurricane. The moment the news came out, it swept through the entire Shinobi World.
Iwagakure.
Tsuchikage Office.
"Bang--!!!!"
The valuable mahogany desk was smashed into pieces by an old but powerful fist. Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was floating in mid-air, his short body shaking violently with extreme anger. His gray beard stood on end, and his iconic red nose was so red that it was almost bleeding.
"No way, absolutely impossible."
"Two Jinchūriki! One Elite Jonin! The most elite Assassination Squad in the village! Just like that... just lost to Land of Rain?!"
"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"
"Sumashi died in battle! Mahiru died in battle! Han... Han was actually captured?!!"
Ōnoki's roar almost turned over the entire Tsuchikage Building roof. All the furnishings in the office were turned into powder under his out-of-control Chakra.
This is a shame!
This is the greatest shame and humiliation Iwagakure has ever experienced since its establishment!
Isn't it because I injured my back and didn't go away? How could you make such a big mistake?
Five-Tails, that's Five-Tails, our nuclear weapon, you actually lost it so abruptly???
You know, a Jinchūriki was captured alive by an enemy village, which is countless times more serious than dying in battle! This means that Five-Tails Kokuō, the ultimate war weapon, may fall into the hands of Konoha at any time!
"Wood Release...Senju..." Ōnoki squeezed out these words from between his teeth, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes and endless killing intent, "Senju again! Wood Release again!!"
He thought of the man who was like a god and a demon, single-handedly suppressing the entire era. The fear of being dominated seemed to have spanned decades and enveloped his heart again.
"Send my order!" Ōnoki's voice was hoarse and cold, "All frontline troops, stop all attacks immediately! Switch to full-scale defense! Don't act rashly until you know all the information about that Konoha Senju kid!"
Iwagakure's aggressive offensive came to an abrupt end under this order.
Konoha, Hokage's Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was holding the battle report that had just been delivered through the fastest channel. His wrinkled hands rarely trembled slightly.
He read it three times to make sure that every word was not dazzled by him.
"Repelled Iwagakure elite troops... killed Elite Jonin Sumashi... severely injured Four-Tails Jinchūriki... captured Five-Tails Jinchuriki..."
This... couldn't this be false information sent by Iwagakure on purpose? That bad old man Rock Shadow Village is famous for being ruthless and evil.
But who would smear their own family for nothing?
Is it true???
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly put down the battle report, picked up the pipe on the table, and took a deep breath. The smoke he exhaled could not cover up the turbulent waves in his eyes.
He still didn't really believe the information in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
One Elite Jonin with several famous Iwagakure Ninja plus two Jinchūriki, you actually won? Not only did you win, but you also won so thoroughly and brilliantly?
In his impression, the well-behaved and sensible child who always followed Tsunade actually made such an unparalleled achievement when he first set foot on the battlefield?
No, even if you brag about this child's military exploits, it's too outrageous.
Gratitude, pride, shock... all kinds of emotions surged in his heart, but in the end, they all turned into a trace of smoke around his mouth.
Wood Release plus Senju Clan.
The political weight represented by the combination of these two words is enough to make any old man who has experienced that era unable to sleep peacefully.
If you add this record.
When First was eight years old, he didn't have such a brilliant record.
Hokage's Office Outside the door, the crowd was already in a state of excitement because of this battle report.
The ninjas belonging to Senju Faction were all beaming with joy, holding their heads high, as if the silence and glory they had suppressed for decades had returned at this moment.
"Have you heard? Lord Chen captured Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure in Land of Rain!"
"Not only that! Four-Tails Jinchūriki was also seriously injured, and Iwagakure's elite troops were completely wiped out!"
"Hahaha! Okay! Great! This is what our Senju Clan should look like!"
A gray-haired elder Senju was so excited that he burst into tears. He was leaning on a cane with both hands, but he stood upright, as if he had become twenty years younger in an instant.
They originally thought that sending someone to the front line was just to add a layer of gold to Senju Chen's resume. Who would have thought that he would snatch back a pure gold trophy directly from the battlefield! No, this is much heavier than the trophy. This is simply bringing back another country's artifact!
"Senju... will rise again?"
This thought, like a spark dropped on the dry grassland, instantly burned crazily in every corner of Konoha High Command.
Uchiha Clan Compound.
The patriarch Uchiha Fugaku sat cross-legged, wiping his own Ninja Blade with a calm expression, but the force that was heavier than the previous one exposed his inner uneasiness.
"Fugaku, have you heard?" An elder from Uchiha walked in with a complex tone, "Senju Clan's little brat, in Land of Rain... he did something that even First Hokage never did when he was young."
Uchiha Fugaku wiped for a moment.
"This is a good thing." He said calmly, "This is Konoha's victory."
"A good thing?" The elder's voice suddenly rose, "A Senju who can use Wood Release! A Senju who can capture Jinchūriki! How is this? It has nothing to do with us! People outside are saying that a new 'God of Shinobi' is about to be born! Do we have to watch Senju Clan and a "Tobirama Senju" appear again?!"
Fugaku was silent for a long time before he put Ninja Blade back into the sheath with a soft "click" sound.
"Senju Chen is different from Tobirama Senju. Maybe the future of our family lies with him."
