"Boom!"
As the ground beneath their feet trembled, the Konoha Hospital building rapidly collapsed into ruins, with dust and smoke billowing everywhere.
A large number of monsters were pinned to the spot, finally giving the ninjas who had been surrounding the monsters a chance to catch their breath.
"What on earth happened?!"
After slaying the roaring monster in front of him, Sparrow turned to ask the Insightful Anbu.
"What are the Lord Hokage and the others fighting?"
"This..." The Anbu Ninja stammered, "According to my senses, Lord Hirakawa is fighting Lady Tsunade and another powerful monster."
" The Lord Hokage's aura is somewhat weak; he must have suffered a serious injury."
" Lady Tsunade and... another powerful monster."
Upon hearing the report from the Anbu Ninja, a chill ran through Sparrow's brain, and he quickly began to think.
"For a powerful figure like the Lord Hokage Hirakawa Shin'un, who far surpasses ordinary Jonin, a monster transformed from a regular ninja would be no match for them."
"To harm either of them, one would need to be at least a powerhouse of the same level."
"Then, that powerful monster is very likely... Lord White Fang!"
"As for Lady Tsunade... she joined forces with that monster to attack Hirakawa Shin'un, so she must already be..."
"But if she has already been transformed into a monster, how could Sensory Ninjutsu detect her Chakra?"
Thinking of this, Sparrow suddenly realized something and abruptly looked ahead at the smoke-filled ruins of Konoha Hospital.
"Damn it, could it be that what I sensed was actually Chakra overflowing from the Yin Seal?"
"Wouldn't the Lord Third Hirakawa Shin'un's act of rushing to the third underground level to search for Tsunade be...?"
Gritting her teeth, Que clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm her chaotic mind.
"Calm!"
"For now, let's not worry about the Lord Hokage 'Hirakawa Shin'un safety."
Sparrow looked around, scrutinizing all the Anbu Ninja and ninjas from various clans on the city wall.
"If what I'm thinking is true, and Tsunade and White Fang really have turned into monsters, then even if I lead a team to rescue them, I'll only be causing trouble. It's better to stay here and prevent the high concentration of the virus from leaking out."
Turning his head, Sparrow looked at Konoha behind him, shrouded in dark clouds.
"As long as the high concentration of the virus here doesn't leak out, the Anbu Ninja outside responsible for sealing off Konoha's streets will promptly eliminate the transformed monsters and disinfect the entire Konoha."
"Just another ten days or so of quarantine, and this crisis will be over, right?"
"But..."
Sparrow looked around. Standing on the city wall, the Anbu Ninja towards the ruins of Konoha Hospital not far away.
"Although these are the most elite ninjas in Konoha, since we're already here, we'll all turn into monsters in a dozen hours."
"After we eliminate the monsters here, they also need to be dealt with, including me..."
Looking up, Sparrow gazed at the Konoha Hospital still shrouded in smoke and dust in the distance, and silently made a decision in his heart.
Scattering the Anbu Ninja standing nearby, Sparrow gave the order.
"You, put on your mask, go find Lord Orochimaru and tell him everything that's going on here."
"Furthermore, the situation here has stabilized. Have Lord Orochimaru organize the Barrier Team ninjas to construct an isolation barrier encompassing Konoha Hospital and the entire surrounding kilometer radius within three hours."
"Remember, be careful when you go out, and keep at least five meters away from everyone."
"Do you understand?"
Nodding, the Anbu Ninja immediately turned and left.
Watching the retreating figures of the Anbu Ninja, Que sighed.
"This is the only solution I can think of for now."
"No one else can be allowed to die here. We need to build a barrier to isolate this place from the outside world."
"As for how to eliminate us when we turn into monsters, let Lord Orochimaru worry about that..."
"Right now, let's worry about the battle taking place underground."
Turning his head, Sparrow looked at Konoha Hospital, which was still shrouded in thick smoke and dust, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside, and frowned.
If you take a moment to feel it, even though the Konoha Hospital building in front of you has become a ruin, the ground beneath your feet is still trembling from time to time.
It was as if a terrifying beast had awakened underground, venting its anger at being disturbed.
Unable to discern anything with the naked eye, Sparrow could only ask the Anbu Ninja beside her who was using Sensory Ninjutsu.
"What's the situation inside?"
"Report: Lord Third Lord Hirakawa are both breathing steadily and have not been affected by the building collapse."
"However, Lord Hirakawa and Lady Tsunade were very close to that monster, and it seems they were engaged in close combat in a small space created after the building collapsed."
After Hand Seals and sensing the situation slightly, the Anbu Ninja replied:
"Etc!"
" Lord Hirakawa Chakra is starting to fluctuate wildly!"
"Judging by that exaggerated amount of Chakra, it looks like they're about to unleash some kind of super-large-scale Ninjutsu!"
"They're here!"
As soon as the Anbu Ninja finished speaking, the ground beneath their feet trembled violently, far more violently than before, making the already chaotic ruins of Konoha Hospital even more fragmented, and the billowing dust that was about to dissipate rose up again.
Immediately afterwards, the center of the Konoha Hospital ruins suddenly bulged up, and a blue-purple light emerged from it, while a familiar, muffled thunderclap came from the ground beneath their feet.
The next instant, a dazzling blue-purple lightning bolt shot into the sky, piercing through the dark clouds at incredible speed, creating a sizable hole from which rays of warm sunlight streamed down.
"What is this...?"
"This is Lord Hirakawa's Ninjutsu!"
He encountered a battle down below!
"Is it White Fang and Tsunade?"
"..."
Just as everyone was stunned, the Anbu Ninja next to Sparrow suddenly noticed something and pointed to the location where the pillar of lightning had appeared in the center of the ruins of Konoha Hospital.
" Squadron Leader Suzume, look over there!"
"What!"
Sparrow stepped forward and looked in the direction the Anbu Ninja had pointed.
"That is?"
In the center of the ruins of the former Konoha Hospital, a pillar of lightning shot into the sky, carving out a deep, dark hole that led directly underground.
Once the smoke and dust obscuring the view were clear, a silver-haired figure covered in blood was kneeling on the edge of the large hole.
" Hirakawa Shin'un?"
Upon seeing this figure, Que was overjoyed and was about to order the surrounding Anbu to provide support when he saw another figure leap out of the deep cave and attack Hirakawa Shin'un, who was kneeling on the edge of the cave.
Although the woman was missing a leg and half a body, Que quickly recognized her from the purple diamond-shaped mark on her forehead.
"That's Tsunade!"
At this moment, seeing Tsunade leap out of the deep pit and attack Shin'un directly, Que's face immediately turned ashen.
She knew that her worst fears had come true.
The only person in Konoha who had any hope of saving these infected patients had lost his mind and turned into a monster that craved blood and human flesh!
