After confirming Tsunade's safety, Naoki Senju handed Mei Terumi over to Tsunade's care. As medical-nin, Tsunade had a hundred ways to keep Mei Terumi unconscious indefinitely.
Naoki Senju will end this war single-handedly!
" Wood Release: Cutting Technique ".
Naoki Senju moved across battlefields large and small, each time he threw a wooden spike, he could incapacitate a Kirigakure Ninja.
The reason for this is that they are too unfamiliar with Wood Release. Many Kirigakure Ninja even treat the Cutting Technique as an ordinary throwing weapon, attempting to block it with Kunai...
They all died horribly in the end.
However, due to the fact that the war was taking place within Konoha, Naoki Senju could not use large-scale Ninjutsu. While breaking the fighting spirit of the Kirigakure Ninja, he kept repeating:
"The Fourth Mizukage Mei Terumi, has been captured. Surrender now to avoid death!"
Naoki Senju's voice echoed across the battlefield once more. The already wavering Kirigakure Ninja, having yet to see the Lord Mizukage, no longer doubted Naoki Senju Lord Mizukage been captured...
The Konoha Ninja ' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and they roared almost simultaneously:
"The Fourth Mizukage Mei Terumi, has been captured. Surrender now to avoid death!"
This overwhelming momentum instantly shattered the will of the Kirigakure Ninja. Before Naoki Senju returned to Konoha, the Kirigakure Ninja even held an absolute advantage, but now Konoha, which was at a disadvantage, could even suppress the Kirigakure ninja!
Fueled by Konoha's high morale, the first ninja from Kirigakure surrendered.
He was a newly promoted Kirigakure Chunin, and this was the first time he had witnessed a real war, and he had also seen too many of his comrades die.
So he didn't want to die, didn't want to die like them, so quickly and without any drama...
He trembled as he put down the Kunai in his hand, and asked with some unease:
"Can surrender really save you from death?"
Konoha and Kirigakure stopped fighting at the same time. At this point, most of the Kirigakure ninja were wavering, with only a small number of Chunin the surrendered ones.
"You traitor! The Kirigakure Ninja will never surrender!"
" Crystal Release - Emerald Prison."
Guren, hidden in the crowd, instantly killed the boastful Kirigakure Ninja with a single move, and then stated confidently:
"Surrender may save you from death, but if you continue to resist, you will only face death!"
After a few seconds of silence, the sound of Kunai hitting the ground rang out one after another, and the Kirigakure Ninja raised their hands one by one, indicating their stance.
"We surrender! We surrender!"
"We surrender, please don't kill us!"
The Kirigakure Ninja surrendered faster than anyone could have imagined. As soon as the first one surrendered, a virus called cowardice spread rapidly among the Kirigakure Ninja.
Konoha Ninja confiscated the ninja tools of Kirigakure Ninja, then tied their hands behind their backs and sent them to the soon-to-be-overcrowded Konoha prison. At the same time, some powerful and high-ranking Jonin were sent to the Anbu.
Although they were promised not to be killed, torture wouldn't kill them unless they refused to yield any information...
The war caused enormous damage to Konoha Ninja Village. Although they were able to obtain war aid funds from the Land of Fire's treasury, it was clearly impossible for Kirigakure to let the matter rest. Without a reparations payment that satisfied Konoha, none of the Kirigakure Ninja would be able to return to Kirigakure.
Free food and drink is out of the question; they'll all stay in the Land of Fire to mine coal! ( Naoki Senju's maniacal laughter)
"Fortunately, the villagers were arranged to take refuge in Hokage Rock in advance, otherwise Konoha would have suffered heavy losses."
Tsunade walked along the badly damaged streets, tallying up a series of shocking figures. These were the costs of repairing Konoha's buildings and streets. Although the cost was staggering, the benefits Konoha could gain from this war were even more satisfying.
However, Tsunade would not initiate a war for personal gain. Konoha also lost a significant number of ninjas in this war, and the cold compensation was simply insufficient to soothe the pain of losing loved ones.
Tsunade is one of those who have suffered greatly from war, and she understands its cruelty even more. Although she would not actively plan a war, if other ninja villages coveted Konoha's wealth or infringed upon Konoha's interests, Tsunade would not shy away from war!
This is what distinguishes Tsunade from the Third Hokage; her governing principles, combining both dove and hawkish Tsunade, are perfectly integrated.
Naoki Senju walked beside Tsunade with a smile, nodding in response to the Konoha who greeted him from time to time.
"Although the war with Kirigakure is over, it's not completely over yet. Sister Tsunade, you need to be mentally prepared."
Tsunade nodded. The other two battlefields were also a major concern for Konoha, especially the battlefield in Kumogakure, where the casualties were definitely much heavier than in Konoha.
"The battle at Iwagakure is basically over. The Iwagakure troops have all entered the Land of Land of Lightning. Jiraiya has led his troops to aid the Kumogakure battlefield. Hopefully, it's not too late..." Tsunade sighed with worry.
"If the Kumogakure Village front can't hold out, I will immediately go to the front line. Destroying the Kumogakure will be as easy as turning my hand. Sister Tsunade has something else to do."
Tsunade did not doubt Naoki Senju's declaration. Naoki Senju had completely mastered Wood Release, did indeed possess the strength to end the battlefield, and with this experience, he would not suffer losses in the next battle.
"What could be more important than war? Naoki, are you up to something again?" Tsunade looked at Naoki Senju Naoki Senju great vigilance, having no doubt about his ability to cause trouble.
Shimura Danzō an extremely secure position in Konoha, and the Root he controlled was no less powerful than the Anbu. However, in just a few months, Danzo a violent death, and Root was swallowed up by the Anbu.
What a terrifying capacity for causing trouble!
" Sister Tsunade, are you overwhelmed with Mei Terumi, hurry up and plant the Cursed Seal so we can take control of Kirigakure. Otherwise, are we going to keep imprisoning the Kirigakure Ninja forever?"
Tsunade suddenly realized, then waved her hand casually and said:
"These things can't be rushed. Although the difficulty isn't high, it definitely takes time. It's impossible to reach the point of planting a Cursed Seal in a short time. Even when the Root's Cursed Seal technology is mature, it takes several years to train a qualified Root ninja. If the Cursed Seal is strong enough to control Mei Terumi, it will take at least ten years."
"More than ten years?" Naoki Senju's tone rose. Although he was the one who came up with the idea of Cursed Seal Cursed Seal, Naoki Senju had never even come into contact with such a thing before, so the final implementation could only be left to Tsunade.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and glanced at Naoki Senju, not surprised by his reaction; the conditions for casting the Cursed Seal were simply too demanding.
"However, if the control over the Cursed Seal used is not that strong, the time should be much shorter."
