"In that case, there's no escape."
At this point, Tsunade leaned back against the vines and took a deep breath.
Just as she was about to say something, another ninja beside Tsunade gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up.
" Lady Tsunade, it's my turn to lure the enemy in this time."
"You..."
Tsunade suddenly stood up, about to say something, but was interrupted by him.
" Lady Tsunade, you are far more important than me, and besides, you are medical-nin, so it's definitely my turn to go."
This ninja, like Hyuga Ushin, is Special Jōnin.
The two were the only two Special Jōnin in Tsunade's team.
After saying that, the ninja darted off in one direction without waiting for Tsunade's response.
Seeing this, Tsunade and closed her eyes.
Although ninjas are highly trained, even under these circumstances, even knowing that it's just a matter of dying sooner or later, not many are willing to face death head-on!
Every single one of these ninjas is an outstanding ninja, a hero!
After a long while, Tsunade raised her head again, opened her eyes, and her expression became extremely cold and calm.
" Ushin, how is it?"
" Lady Tsunade, the Stone Ninja have been drawn away; there's a gap in one direction."
"Okay, let's go!"
Tsunade took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.
She had to live, solely for the sake of those who were willing to sacrifice themselves for her; she had to live!
A figure sped past on the muddy road, seemingly without touching the ground.
To the average person, this speed is merely an afterimage, impossible to discern clearly.
A silhouette had already appeared in the distance ahead of Uya.
It was a dense forest.
When he could see more clearly, Uya finally slowed down. Now that he was here, he had to be on guard.
We're not far from Amegakure, and we could encounter Rain Ninja at any moment, or even Hanzo of the Salamander.
But Uya didn't think too much about it; no matter how dangerous it was, he had to come.
It wasn't just because he was a Konoha ninja, a member of the Special Anbu, and had received orders from Konoha.
When he was weak, Tsunade risked a direct confrontation with the Uchiha Clan to save him, and she also stood up to Uchiha Kageyama to protect him.
He was also given Uya scroll of Monstrous Strength, which allowed Monstrous Strength to defeat many enemies.
Taking a deep breath, Uya suddenly entered the forest!
"Hurry and chase after her!! She can't have gone far!"
"Damn it, we absolutely can't let her escape, absolutely not!!"
Several Stone Ninja wore expressions of fury, while a large number of Stone Ninja frantically pursued them through the forest.
Some Iwagakure Anbu Ninja were also mixed in.
Their expressions were filled with chilling murderous intent and boundless rage.
Ahead of them, a figure was fleeing in all directions—it was Tsunade.
However, Tsunade's condition was very bad at this time. She had some serious injuries on her body, which she did not seek treatment for.
It's not that I don't have time, it's that I don't have enough Chakra.
Tsunade has not yet mastered the Strength of a Hundred Technique, so her strength is not at the Kage Level level, and Quasi-Kage level.
The fact that she has persevered this far is already the best she can do.
Hyuga Ushin is gone too.
Previously, when they were surrounded again, Hyuga Ushin used his Byakugan to determine two directions and then helped Tsunade break through.
With Tsunade's assistance during the breakout, Hyuga Ushin managed to take down an Iwagakure Jonin his death!
This is one of the reasons why those Iwagakure Ninja were enraged.
The ambush was a complete failure.
Even if we kill Tsunade now, it won't change the outcome of this battle!
So Gando, the leader, had bloodshot eyes and was almost insane. This was no longer a question of whether he could still command the Iwagakure troops, but how he would face the Tsuchikage Ōnoki's overwhelming rage!
The Iwagakure had already begun fighting desperately, and almost all the ninjas in the dense forest had gathered together, numbering as many as thirty or forty.
This is still a small number. When we ambushed Tsunade's team before, there were sixty or seventy of them. Now, nearly half of them have been lost!
Ahead, Tsunade showed no intention of turning back; she was using her last ounce of strength to escape, pushing her body to its absolute limit with sheer willpower.
Hyuga Ushin's sacrifice opened a path. Tsunade was on the edge of the forest, and the direction wasn't directly towards Amegakure. If she could get out from there, she would have a chance to escape.
This is the driving force that has kept Tsunade going until now, preventing her from collapsing.
However, Tsunade knew very well that even if she managed to escape the forest, she probably wouldn't be able to evade pursuit on the plains.
Unless, of course, they receive support from Konoha ninjas.
But now it seems there's no trace of any Konoha Ninja at all.
This is, after all, the heart of the Land of Rain, and it's unlikely that Konoha will be able to send troops to provide assistance.
Is this the end?
Feeling the Iwagakure Ninja closing in from behind, Tsunade's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of resentment, but her speed gradually decreased, and no matter how hard she gritted her teeth, she couldn't increase her speed.
Just as Tsunade was about to be overtaken by the Iwagakure Ninja behind her, a figure suddenly appeared in Tsunade of her.
The figure flashed and arrived directly in front of Tsunade.
Tsunade instinctively tried to throw a punch, but she couldn't muster any strength, and her fist was caught in the hand of the newcomer.
However, the next moment she also saw what the person who had come looked like.
Because it was a rescue mission, Uya couldn't simply expose herself while traveling, so she wore a cloak and a mask.
And this attire makes it immediately recognizable as that of Konoha Anbu Ninja.
Upon seeing Uya, Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the arrival of the Konoha Anbu Ninja, there should be hope.
At the same time, she felt that Uya's aura was slightly familiar, but she couldn't really tell from his figure, as Uya had changed too much.
As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Tsunade felt weak and sore all over, and almost fell off the tree trunk.
Uya instantly reached out and gently Tsunade, then leaped down to the ground below.
At this moment, the Iwagakure ninjas arrived.
Tsunade had just breathed a sigh of relief when a look of unease suddenly crossed her face. Looking at Uya's retreating figure, she couldn't help but ask, "You're not... alone, are you?!"
"It really is just me."
Uya shrugged and responded softly.
The voice sounded familiar to Tsunade, but she couldn't quite place it, and her face instantly paled.
How can one person possibly save her?!
