"Screw you! For Konoha's sake, I'll send you to the Pure Land today to meet the former Hokage of Konoha!"
Tsunade's hair flew wildly, and she looked like a demon god descending to earth. Her expression was extremely crazed. She suddenly kicked out, about to bypass her two grandfathers' reanimated bodies and attack Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However, almost simultaneously, Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju's Edo Tensei forms were suddenly covered in blue chakra. They threw punches from a distance, unleashing powerful air currents that halted Tsunade's advance.
Then they moved with lightning speed, their movements no less impressive than Tsunade's. The three figures flashed continuously, clashing and separating in mid-air, causing the already crumbling walls to collapse wherever they passed.
The figures of Tsunade, Tobirama Senju, and Hashirama Senju collided and separated like three shooting stars, drawing arcs in the air that dazzled the Root ninjas.
Huffing and puffing
After fighting for nearly a minute, Tsunade was still unable to break through the blockade, and she had no choice but to stop again. Even though she was a descendant of the Senju clan and had more chakra, she couldn't keep wasting it like this.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was far more familiar with his two teachers than Orochimaru, and he was much more adept at controlling them. Even his mindless, reanimated form was enough to halt Tsunade's charge.
Seeing Tsunade stop, Hiruzen Sarutobi also controlled Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju to halt. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; his chakra was severely depleted, and his stamina was waning. His aging and ailing body was truly struggling to hold on.
If he hadn't recently obtained a lot of secret medicines from Danzo and his own small warehouse to repair his body, he wouldn't have been able to briefly unleash his Kage-level strength just now.
Thinking about his unusable body, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but think of Orochimaru. Perhaps he really should consider Orochimaru's method of immortality; he had access to Orochimaru's research data from back then...
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly gathered his scattered thoughts; now was not the time to dwell on such matters. The Impure World Reincarnation technique was still not perfect, and Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed a risk of losing control. He felt he couldn't continue entangled with Tsunade; he had to resort to strategy.
He recalled Tsunade's angry roar earlier, so he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Perhaps I will go to the Pure Land someday, but I won't see my two teachers there now. Aren't they right in front of you right now?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's sarcastic words made Tsunade lose her composure once again.
Previously, her beloved grandfathers attacked her like two puppets, leaving Tsunade somewhat hesitant. At first, she couldn't bring herself to use full force, but later, driven to desperation, she punched her grandfathers' heads several times, seemingly destroying them. However, they recovered instantly, rendering her attacks utterly ineffective.
This act of making one's deceased loved ones fight against oneself is bad enough, but I never imagined that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi could go even further.
Tsunade's gaze toward Hiruzen Sarutobi turned icy cold. At this moment, the teacher she once respected, disappointed, saddened, worried, and distressed her had replaced Danzo Shimura as the person she hated most!
"Die! Die! Die!"
Tsunade's potential exploded, and her power increased even more. Completely disregarding the obstruction of the two reanimated bodies, she forcibly broke through their defenses and charged towards Hiruzen Sarutobi at the cost of serious injury.
bass!
Just as Tsunade was about to get close to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tobirama Senju suddenly increased his speed and drew a short sword from behind him.
In an instant, a dazzling blade of light swept towards Tsunade's neck, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. She had no choice but to dodge. When she regained her footing, she discovered that there was already a shallow cut on her neck.
She was almost beheaded by her grandfather with a single sword strike!
The feeling of almost dying at the hands of her loved ones fueled Tsunade's rage even more, and she launched another frantic charge, only to be repeatedly stopped by the reanimated bodies of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
Tsunade was almost in despair; her chakra was no longer sufficient to sustain the Hundred Healings Technique for long. With dozens of Root ninjas, the ninjutsu-skilled Hiruzen Sarutobi, and her two immortal grandfathers, she saw absolutely no hope of victory.
Damn it, why are my two grandfathers so strong?!
Tsunade gritted her teeth as she looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had retreated dozens of meters and remained calm and composed. She was almost completely insane.
At that moment, Tsunade heard the cracking sound of the walls collapsing. In her last moment of clarity, Tsunade came up with a solution!
"Since that's the case, let's die together!"
Tsunade suddenly roared and charged out. This time, she did not charge at Hiruzen Sarutobi, but instead threw herself into the surrounding walls, ceilings and some load-bearing pillars.
At first, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't understand and thought Tsunade was venting her incompetence.
After a while, the entire base became unstable, and some roofs even collapsed. At this moment, the remaining rooms nearby began to make cracking and creaking sounds, and he suddenly understood.
"Tsunade, stop right now! If this continues, the base will collapse and you'll die too!"
"Hahahaha, die, die, all of you die together!"
This ridiculous world, this ridiculous Konoha, let's die together!
Tsunade remained unmoved by Hiruzen Sarutobi's words and instead sped up her efforts to dismantle the base using both her hands and feet.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi became somewhat frightened. He still had to help Konoha rise again, and he still had to avenge the Sarutobi clan!
"Stop her!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the Root ninjas and two Edo Tensei bodies to stop Tsunade from wreaking havoc.
But unlike before, Tsunade's approach, no longer focused on Hiruzen Sarutobi, became even more unpredictable. Despite the Root ninjas and Hashirama Senju's relentless pursuit, she was always a step too late.
Soon the entire underground base became shaky and unstable, with various rubble constantly falling from the ceiling, giving the impression that it was about to collapse.
We can't continue like this; it's too dangerous to stay entangled here!
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly recalled the two reanimated bodies, then controlled Hashirama Senju's reanimated body to use Wood Release: Advent of the Wood World. Soon, the ground at the Root base rose up, and trees sprang up out of thin air, forming pillars within the base.
Hashirama Senju's Edo Tensei form was too weak, and he could only summon a limited number of trees. Hiruzen Sarutobi could only command him to plant trees in one area at a time, while he himself had to escape.
"You madman! I still have to guard Konoha, I'm not going to go crazy with you here!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly uttered a sentence and then led Tobirama Senju out.
"You cowardly old devil, I knew it, hahaha!"
Seeing that Hashirama was being held back, Tsunade suddenly stopped her destructive rampage, turned around, and charged towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Damn it, kill her!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a hurry to leave, his voice icy cold as he completely tore off all his masks.
He ordered all the Root ninjas to take action, leaving Tobirama Senju behind him as his bodyguards, and accelerated his retreat.
My own life is very precious, how can I die here with this traitor!
