Chapter 81 The Gift of Parting
Will Lord Hanzo lose?
"How is that possible? Open your eyes and look! Lord Hanzo has the upper hand!"
The Rain Village ninja watched the battle between Fushiko and Hanzo.
Then they saw Hanzo disappear into the rain and launch a fierce attack on Fukuyo, who had no time to react.
The members of Amegakure cheered in unison that Lord Hanzo was invincible.
From Amegakure's perspective, Hanzo is the true savior.
He protected Amegakure, allowing the Amegakure ninjas to accumulate power amidst the powerful nations by bearing his name.
Even when encountering ninjas from major powers during missions, they would still look at them with more respect upon learning that they were subordinates of Hanzo the Salamander.
In their eyes, Lord Hanzo was someone even stronger than the Five Kage, a weightlifting champion who single-handedly supported the entire Amegakure.
Fukuyo chuckled at Hanzo's desperate attempt to save face in front of the Rain Ninja.
"I never expected that Hanzo, a demigod in the ninja world, would care about the feelings of his subordinates."
"Of course, Amegakure is only able to gain an advantage right now because of Hanzo. If they lose that momentum, they will collapse even faster."
Tsunade stared at the Rain Ninja who seemed to have placed all their hopes on Hanzo, her expression somewhat complicated.
"This is the tragedy of small countries."
Fu Heiya shrugged. What Tsunade knew, he also knew, and perhaps even more.
But in this ninja world cursed by outdated systems, this is an unbreakable cycle.
"In this cursed ninja world, no one can find true liberation."
Fu Heiyao began to spin a spiral that shimmered with an ominous aura in his hand.
The Rasengan was originally a tool used by Fukuyo to train his magical power and chakra.
After Fukuyo initially mastered the cursed power with his Sharingan, the cursed power was naturally integrated into the Rasengan.
It evolved from its initial pitch black to a red that symbolizes the Sharingan and the power of Sukunajutsu.
However, Obsidian doesn't just intend to fuse them right now.
That kind of Rasengan is too mediocre.
Thanks to the evolution of the Sharingan, Fukuko experienced a burst of inspiration.
He unleashed his creativity and inspiration, at the most violent moment when the two energies of incantation and chakra were irreconcilable.
The two extremely unstable streams of cursed power and chakra coalesced into a dark red sphere, barely maintaining its shape under the control and isolation of the Obsidian Sharingan.
"This is the final gift!"
Fukuyo canceled the summoning of Unending Throat, and with the flapping of the wings of Dark Crimson Armored One, hurled the ever-spinning, expanding Dark Crimson Rasengan downwards.
Hanzo stared expressionlessly at Fukuyo's departing figure, but in reality, he was at his wit's end.
The defeat of Yuyin is inevitable.
Konoha has already stolen most of the antidote formulas, and this most resource-rich and strongest ninja village will soon be able to crack Amegakure's trump card.
Sanshintoxin.
Given the size of the two countries, Hanzo could not have imagined that he might win.
The thought of Amegakure's defeat sent chills down Hanzo's spine.
But the next moment, Hanzo suddenly realized the "gift" left by Fukuyo.
"What exactly is this thing?"
When Hanzo saw the ever-expanding dark red chakra ball, his whole body trembled violently.
He immediately thought of the Tailed Beast Ball, but then immediately denied it.
"Impossible, the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, Mito Uzumaki, is still alive."
But denial couldn't stop the cruel reality; the dark red sphere began to expand after Fu Heiyao left his hand.
The Rain Village ninjas, including Hanzo, instinctively followed the trail of light as it continued to fall.
The torrential rain fell in torrents, as if chasing its trajectory but never able to reach it.
Someone tried to use ninjutsu to stop him, but the water was swallowed up as it approached the ever-expanding whirlpool.
With each inch the dark red vortex descended, the surrounding air groaned in despair, the rain was blocked, and the light was distorted.
A nameless fear gripped the hearts of all the Rain Hermits.
Just as the fear reached its peak, the dark red vortex suddenly shrank to a point.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the Rasengan burst into a deep red arc of light in mid-air.
A deafening explosion rose from the ruins.
Light and heat, along with dense raindrops in the air, fiercely swept towards all the rain-kissed creatures present.
The circular shock wave spreads instantaneously from the point of impact.
The complex steel drainage system was instantly squeezed and burst open, with water mixed with molten steel splashing everywhere.
"Is this a natural disaster?"
"Lord Hanzo, please save us!"
The rain-soaked onslaught wished it had more legs, but the spreading aftershocks were clearly coming even faster.
The scorching heat and the raging roar that penetrated to the soul violently tore through the rain curtain, as if staining people's hearts with a scarlet hue.
The indiscriminate Rasengan exploded like a nuclear bomb throughout the Rain Village.
With the underground pharmaceutical manufacturing base as the origin, even the rain seemed to stand still within a hundred meters.
Standing atop the ruins, Hanzo's face was extremely grim.
"What kind of Rasengan is this?"
As she soared through the skies above the Land of Rain, Tsunade witnessed the massive explosion and unconsciously opened her mouth wide.
His pupils were filled with undisguised shock.
Tsunade naturally knew about the Rasengan; ever since Nawaki learned it, he had been showing it off in front of her all the time.
But isn't the Rasengan a chakra ball with no attribute? How did it change color and unleash such terrifying power?
"I fused a bit of Sharingan power and special spiritual energy into the Rasengan, but I was quite surprised by its power."
Fu Heiyao was also completely baffled and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
Could the Rasengan trigger Black Flash?
Fu Heiya knew perfectly well that he had only infused the dumpling he created with two chakra units.
But looking down at the mushroom cloud that had been blown up, and at the blasting airflow blowing in their face, they could see...
Even if you said it was a Tailed Beast Ball, people would believe you.
Seeing that Fushiko looked confused, Tsunade stopped asking questions and focused on Fushiko's health.
"Weren't you poisoned by the salamander?" Tsunade, still somewhat weak, looked at Fukuyo with a strange expression. "How come you look better than me?"
Fu Heiyao had previously taken a direct hit from a salamander's poison gas in order to save her.
Tsunade thought that Fukuyo had been poisoned into unconsciousness, but unexpectedly, she turned misfortune into blessing and activated the legendary Susanoo.
Although Tsunade was very curious about Susanoo and Fushiko's amazing abilities, she was more concerned about Fushiko's physical condition.
After all, his body was notoriously fragile; even his grandmother had specifically instructed him to have Fu Heiyao's body checked regularly.
"You mean that?" Fu Heiyao said dismissively. "When the salamander venom came into contact with my skin, I used an electric current to destroy the surface flesh and electrolyze the venom."
Ultimately, salamander toxin is just a protein, and high temperature and electric current can significantly reduce its toxicity.
Destroy it and then heal it with a reversal technique; it's a very simple solution.
However, this only applies to Fukoku, who possesses the Reversal Technique and can regenerate at supersonic speed.
An ordinary ninja would die if he tried it.
"That's a really simple and effective method."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately showed a look of both heartache and envy.
"You need treatment more than I do." Fu Heiyao looked at the wound on Tsunade's waist and abdomen that Hanzo had slashed.
Beneath the soft armor, the flesh on either side of the gruesome knife wound was torn and rolled up, the deep purple toxins of the salamander mixed with the blood under the wash of the rain.
"This is really troublesome, but thankfully I have your Reversal Technique." As a medical ninja, Tsunade was very aware of her injuries.
She swiftly removed the battle-damaged soft armor, revealing a bright green lining.
Her full breasts, freed from the constraints of the soft armor, seemed ready to burst forth.
They didn't treat Fu Heiyao like an outsider at all.
"She really is a wet nurse." Fu Heiya muttered to himself, feeling it was very necessary to retract his previous inappropriate assessment of Tsunade.
Tsunade has indeed undergone a complete transformation on the battlefield in the past two years.
While it may be slightly inferior to its final form, it is indeed the largest that Fukuko has ever seen at this stage.
Fortunately, Fukuyo is currently in a state of excitement typical of the Uchiha clan and is not interested in women.
The Sharingan's rotation speed slowed slightly, and Fukuko placed his hand on the deep purple crack on Tsunade's waist, which had been cut by Hanzo.
A pure white light emanated, and under Tsunade's astonished gaze, the flesh and blood grew and healed at a visible speed.
After a simple cleaning, the previously hideous scars returned to their original snow-white color.
"I'm alive again." Tsunade lay on top of her, breathing in the fresh air.
He glanced at Fu Heiyao, who was busy at work, and patted his spiky head as encouragement.
Faced with provocation, Fukuyo was not like Nawaki, who dared not speak out. He used his palm to generate electricity and employed a more stimulating treatment to accelerate the healing of Tsunade's wounds.
Tsunade grimaced in pain, but she was too weak to do anything but let Fukuyo do as he pleased.
The Reversal Technique was very effective, and Tsunade's physical injuries were quickly healed, leaving only the weakness buff from the salamander venom.
After a simple bandage, Tsunade drank two more bottles of salamander antidote as a precaution.
Next, the body simply needs to naturally metabolize the salamander toxins that have entered the bloodstream.
"By the way, what exactly is your relationship with Shen Er?"
While using Susanoo to shelter Tsunade from the rain, Fuko asked, idly resting his chin on his hand.
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, because there was a hint of maternal love in Tsunade's eyes when she looked at him.
Combined with Jiraiya's complex gaze, Fukuyo sometimes even imagined some kind of tragic love story.
Fu Heiyao didn't care about the others, but he was still somewhat interested in gossip about himself.
"What a disrespectful brat."
Tsunade tapped Fukuyo on the head, grumbling, "That bastard Jiraiya, he's always spreading rumors outside, doesn't he care about setting a bad example for the kids!"
"So what is your relationship?" Fu Heiyao continued to ask.
"We're just gambling buddies, or if you have to call us close friends." Tsunade's expression became complicated when Shen'er was mentioned. "It's just that some issues are making it hard for me to let go."
Tsunade looked at Fukuyo's face, which was about 80% similar to Jin's, her gaze complex, with a hint of relief and a sense of comfort for the son of her old friend.
"Shen Er came from the Fukuro family. This surname is not particularly outstanding. The only special thing is that he was once a vassal family of the Uchiha clan."
"Even few people in the Uchiha clan probably remember such old stories."
"But at the time, Senju was indeed very opposed to our contact, believing it to be an Uchiha conspiracy, and then warned Shen."
When these old stories were mentioned, a look of nostalgia flashed across Tsunade's face.
To sum it up, Tsunade, who has been losing money her whole life, is facing off against Jin, who has even worse luck.
However, their relationship ended badly due to the hatred between the Senju and Uchiha clans.
"I really miss those days, but it's a pity we can't go back."
Tsunade sighed. She had really thought she had found a soulmate, and even wanted to be gambling buddies with Jin for life.
When Fu Heiyao first arrived, she almost mistook him for Shen Er, and her heart pounded.
That was her gambling spirit trembling.
God knows how long it's been since she tasted victory since Shen'er left.
Fu Heiya raised an eyebrow, feeling that Tsunade had been a bit presumptuous.
However, he didn't show it, because Tsunade was feeling rather down at the moment.
"After that, he found someone he liked and couldn't gamble anymore, so our interactions became less frequent."
As you know, he became single again, gambled his money away to me, and then died during a mission.
The two had a simple relationship, mostly childhood friends, but the sudden break in the middle and the cause of Erqi Meng's death left Tsunade unable to let go.
Fu Heiyao had no intention of commenting on these matters; in his view, his biological father might be deliberately seeking death.
Since his mother's death, he has degenerated into a gambling addict who only knows how to carry out missions and uses gambling to numb himself.
In his view, Tsunade really didn't need to feel guilty about Shinji's death.
But when he tried to comfort Tsunade, he found that she had already fallen asleep.
He reached out to touch it and found that Tsunade's forehead was burning hot, clearly indicating that her immune system was going berserk.
Fu Heiyao chuckled and silently slowed down the speed.
The command tent at Konoha's camp was unusually quiet. Even though Orochimaru and Jiraiya had advanced their battle lines dozens of miles, the considerable gains still failed to excite anyone.
Because Hanzo never appeared on the battlefield.
The tent was eerily quiet; even a heartbeat could be heard clearly.
Suddenly, a deep, hoarse voice rang out.
"I think we should prepare for the worst." Danzo paused, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Hanzo might be lying in ambush in Amegakure, waiting for Tsunade and the others to walk right into his trap."
"We may have taken the wrong step from the beginning, but we cannot stop because of that."
After Danzo said this, Jiraiya and Orochimaru fell silent.
Although Fukuko has excellent survival skills, Tsunade can't.
As teammates, Jiraiya and Orochimaru knew Tsunade best, and after arriving on the battlefield, they worked day and night to research an antidote for the salamander's toxin.
There was simply no time to improve myself; I was not proficient in reverse psychic abilities, and I didn't have time to study the envisioned creation and regeneration technique.
If Hanzo personally oversees Amegakure and sets a trap, Tsunade is very likely to encounter an accident.
There's even a possibility that both of them could fall into the clutches of Rain's Shadow.
"Let me make this clear first: the battlefront in Amegakure must not be affected by just two people. That's the bottom line," Danzo calmly stated his decision.
"Impossible!" Jiraiya slammed his fist on the table.
"Fukuko and Tsunade are trapped in Amegakure while trying to break the poison of the salamander. We should go and rescue them instead of abandoning them."
"If we abandon them today, who will dare to sacrifice for the village in the future?" Orochimaru stared intently at Danzo with his snake-like eyes, sharp as a sword.
"Wake up, Orochimaru," Danzo said sternly. "This is war, not child's play. Dying in battle is the fate of a ninja."
"Compared to the tens of thousands of people in Konoha, is Atsushi light and heavy?" Danzo asked with an air of righteous indignation.
He dismissed Orochimaru's accusations because he had found the perfect reason and excuse.
This is the perfect opportunity to eliminate Fukuyo; no one can find fault with it.
If he dies, all the better. If he doesn't, then we'll label him as someone who abandoned his teammates and ran away alone.
Danzo had a way to use this reason to suppress Fushikokuyo.
As for Tsunade, Danzo was certain that Hanzo wouldn't kill her.
Tsunade is the face of Konoha today, the eldest princess of the Senju clan, and also the chief physician.
Once Tsunade dies, Amegakure will face Konoha's relentless revenge.
Hanzo valued Amegakure more than his own life; he would never sacrifice the greater good for a small gain.
Although redeeming Tsunade might require giving up some benefits, the Land of Fire is vast and rich, and Konoha can afford to lose.
But if that evil Uchiha were to rise to power, given Hiruzen's trust in him, Danzo didn't even dare to imagine how much trouble he might cause in the future.
Danzo viewed this as a timely way to cut his losses.
"Without Tsunade, who could research an antidote for the salamander? Danzo, could you?"
"If you don't agree, then let me and Orochimaru go together!" Jiraiya suddenly stood up, looking at Danzo with eyes that seemed to hold the power of a volcano about to erupt.
Orochimaru silently stood by Jiraiya's side, also determined to secretly infiltrate Amegakure and rescue Fukuro and Tsunade.
"absurd!"
"Without you all, who will defend Amegakure's front lines!?"
Danzo suppressed his anger and looked at the Nara clansmen.
"Lu Ren, what's your opinion?"
