Escape From Konoha

Both Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage felt suffocated like never before at this time.

How to defeat an enemy who can take away other people's souls at any time and has immortality?

No one can tell them this answer.

No more Hashirama's magic.

This means that their attacks are almost ineffective against Shiraishi.

Physical skills alone cannot kill this 'monster'.

Yes, it's a monster.

In their eyes, Shiraishi was now equated with a 'monster'.

In any case, the other party can hardly be called a human being.

Not only the soul, but also the body is inhuman.

"Don't give up, Naruto! If we give up, everything will be over!"

The Fourth Raikage bit his tongue, biting out blood, freeing himself from despair and fear, and moving forward towards the unknown and the extremely slim hope.

The chakra is still there, and so is the fighting spirit, so the battle is not over yet.

He can still fight.

Even though he knew it meant death, he couldn't accept surrender.

Rather than that, it would be better to die in a fight to the death and live up to one's status as Raikage.

The others can surrender, but not the Five Shadows.

As long as the Five Shadows do not surrender, the power of resistance will always exist.

What Shadow bears is by no means an individual's fate, but the fate of an entire village.

"Aren't you going to give up?"

Tsunade looked at the desolate world and Shiraishi, who was calm and composed, as if everything was under control, and smiled bitterly.

Do they really have a chance against this guy?

At this moment, she thought of many things.

All the 'chess pieces' exploring the path have had their souls swallowed by the white stone.

The next battle is a real battle of life and death.

No more trial and error options.

One wrong step and your soul will be taken away.

but--

Quietly clenched his fists.

The cooling heartbeat began to beat fiercely.

His originally stagnant eyes also shone with a fiery fighting spirit.

That is the willpower not to admit defeat.

Yes, as Raikage said, if even they give up, the Alliance Army will be completely finished.

The same goes for the village behind them.

"You are right, Raikage, now is not the time to despair! Even if there are only two of us, we cannot be underestimated! Come on!"

"I think so too!"

The Fourth Raikage kicked off the ground and charged forward, and in an instant, the air flew away.

A roaring sound like a spitting fire came out of his mouth.

He seemed to be using this loud venting method to completely crush the despair in his heart.

With the awareness of death, he sprinted forward, wanting to fight Shiraishi until the last moment.

The two feet that stepped out, through the infusion of chakra, generated a force that could easily crush the hard ground.

However, this charge with the belief of death, in Shiraishi's view, is nothing more than a death struggle.

After all, after such a long period of fermentation, the bodies of Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage have actually become weak.

The rule of the Pure Land is that no living person is allowed to set foot there.

Except for Shiraishi, the contractor, the two of them consume chakra every moment to offset the erosion of the power of the Pure Land.

In addition, their ninjutsu requires a large amount of chakra, and no matter how much chakra they have, it is not enough to waste.

What's more, before they were drawn into the Pure Land, they had consumed a lot of chakra on the battlefield.

Even the Fourth Raikage, who possesses tailed beast level chakra, can't bear such a reduction in chakra.

The seemingly ferocious sprint, not only the speed, but also the strength, seemed to have small flaws.

Shiraishi didn't make a move, but a figure suddenly appeared from behind and faced the Fourth Raikage.

It was a twisted, amorphous ooze humanoid.

It was his earth clone, General Earth, who fought in Shiraishi's place.

Although most of the time it is used by Shiraishi as a scout and courier, the general's frontal combat capabilities are also not weak, based on Yin Yang escape and integrated into the senjutsu system.

Especially in its unique geographical environment like 'the earth', its abilities will be greatly improved.

The Fourth Raikage, who was blocked in the way, didn't think much. The thunder escape armor he re-dressed erupted with fierce lightning on his body. On his fist, there was also a brilliant thunder and lightning, and he punched out.

The Earth General who was directly hit had a big hole in his chest, and he directly saw the wilderness scene on the opposite side, and was punched through the body by the Fourth Raikage.

The ooze was flying everywhere, and it was everywhere.

But the general seemed to be okay, he didn't even feel pain, he just twisted his arms, clenched them into fists, turned into countless fist shadows, and struck the Fourth Raikage's body crazily and continuously.

The wind of the fist was mixed with a sharp and whistling aura, and the impact of each punch was faster than the other. Without any surprise, they all landed on the Fourth Raikage's body, stopping his ferocious attack and being unable to penetrate the general's defense circle. .

There were no signs of cracks on the Lei Dun armor, but it made a fierce sound of the collision of hard objects, impacting the already overwhelmed internal organs in his body.

A mouthful of blood flowed from the mouth of the Fourth Raikage.

The injuries caused by the previous explosion seemed to have worsened.

No matter how much you polish your body and internal organs, as a human being, your flesh and blood body has its limits.

What's more, the defensive power of his Thunder Armor was no longer as good as it was in its heyday after a long period of chakra consumption.

"You are so arrogant!"

The Fourth Raikage shouted loudly, his left arm suddenly gathered a large amount of chakra, compressed it, lightning burst out, and he bent his elbow to strike quickly.

"Heavy flow storm!"

The local general who didn't react in time had his head explode.

The brain, which was entirely made of soil, was scattered around like the chest that had been smashed before.

The beating stopped, and the clay sculpture's body completely collapsed, flowing rapidly along the ground, sucking in all the scattered soil.

Then, not far away from the Fourth Raikage, he twisted again and returned to his human form.

A dark hollow without eyeballs, with dark yellow light shining inside, like two stoves.

It twisted its body while continuing to move closer to the Fourth Raikage.

I saw its mouth suddenly open, and metal balls rolled out from it, shining with the unique luster of metal.

When the Fourth Raikage saw these metal balls, his pupils immediately shrank, his hands and feet shrank, and he defended himself in front of him.

Then, the detonating fire swept through the battle area, completely swallowing the bodies of the Fourth Raikage and the Earth General.

The sunken land and flying thick dust once again made the area smoky.

The Fourth Raikage's body rolled out.

Although the Thunder Dun Armor perfectly protected against the explosion of the bomb, the shock and impact it carried made his injured internal organs worse.

He got up from the ground and glared at General Tu with his electric eyes.

The other party continued to twist the human-like soft clay body, like a dancer performing a burlesque show.

He held in his hand a series of metal ball bombs that had not been thrown.

His empty eyes stared at the Fourth Raikage expressionlessly.

"This bastard."

The fourth Raikage's face twitched, as if he felt the contempt and disdain in the general's gaze.

"Then let's see if I fall first or if your bombs run out first!!"

The Fourth Raikage stepped forward, and his whole body turned into a bolt of lightning and shot out.

The Tu General took advantage of the situation and threw the metal bomb in his hand. Like a goddess scattering flowers, the bomb fell from the sky.

The light dust of the explosion swallowed up the two figures again.

On the battlefield, the sound of booming explosions can be heard endlessly.

the other side--

"You are already like that. You are really able to stand up. In terms of willpower, do you deserve to be the Five Shadows?"

Glancing sideways at the battlefield between the Earth General and the Fourth Raikage, Shiraishi chuckled.

The natural energy in the wooden thorns that pierced his body from the inside was slowly absorbed by him. Then, these wooden thorns turned into powder and flew away, leaving only Shiraishi's riddled body.

Those bloody holes looked shocking, and even the internal organs were squeezed hard. It would be impossible for anyone to survive with such injuries.

But Shiraishi only felt pain and a brief stagnation of his body, and felt nothing more.

The shocking blood hole began to heal quickly under the treatment of magical chakra.

"You'd better not underestimate us."

Tsunade said this, even smiling on her face, looking very confident and decisive.

It was as if her side had the advantage.

Obviously, the previous battle was a complete failure, and many of the souls of our own ninjas were taken away.

"Now that things have happened, are you still going to fight stubbornly? That's the thing about you, and it has never changed."

Shiraishi raised his right arm, and the soul tentacle wrapped around Bai Ya's dagger behind his back took the initiative to come up and put the dagger in Shiraishi's hand.

Bai Shi held the White Fang dagger, his gaze lowered, his dark eyes reflected on the bright blade. Even in this world without sunlight, the blade could still reflect a breathtaking light.

He looked at the short knife carefully, as if it brought back countless memories.

"Tsunade-sensei, with a desperate mood, you can't show a real smile no matter what, so you don't have to pretend that you still have hope. Now you actually understand that the situation is over. That pain , I believe you have actually felt it. This is not a dream, nor is it an illusion."

"Despair? It's really shameless. That kind of thing will not appear in my dictionary."

The sound of cutting through the ice and snow seemed to encourage him to never give up the fight.

Her fists were clenched, and a strong fighting spirit burst out from her bright and clear pupils.

"Yeah?"

Shiraishi continued to smile, then raised his head again and looked into Tsunade's eyes.

The soul tentacles behind him trembled slightly, and along with the thick black mist, they dissipated in the air and returned to Shiraishi's body.

Seeing Shiraishi put away his ninjutsu, Tsunade frowned.

"Why take it back? I don't need your mercy."

"No, this is not pity, this is just my insignificant respect for you. As medical ninjas, we should not be allowed to fight on the front line, but we are all ninjas who broke this convention. My initial medical Most of the ninjutsu are taught by you, so at the end, I would like to ask Tsunade-sensei to test my results."

Bai Shi smiled slightly, and the White Fang dagger in his hand also made a trick at the right time, the cold light was frightening.

He looked directly into Tsunade's eyes, and a high concentration of chakra began to slowly escape from his body, blowing up the dust around him.

"After all, if you miss this time, you won't have such a good opportunity next time, right?"

"Hmph, then don't blame my fist for not recognizing anyone!"

Tsunade groaned heavily, showing no signs of weakness. All the strength in her body surged, her legs slammed on the ground, and her body flew out like a sharp arrow.

The elbows were bent, the fingers were clenched into fists, agitating an extremely terrifying force, and the golden hair was dancing in the wind.

Shiraishi always had a smile on his face, got into a fighting stance, and then rushed forward, approaching Tsunade.

The White Fang dagger then slashed, creating a waning moon-like sword light in the air, cutting the air, and the sharp wind, even if there was no direct contact, opened a bloody gash on Tsunade's arm, splattering blood.

But Tsunade didn't care. The cut wound healed instantly with white heat.

His fist hit Shiraishi's head directly, trying to punch him away.

This is no joke. Because he understands how Tsunade uses his "strange power", Shiraishi has no doubt that Tsunade's punch can open his head.

He doesn't have Ayane's indestructible body that can withstand the Eight Gate Dunjia Formation.

The blade ran along Tsunade's arm and passed by Tsunade's face.

Shiraishi also immediately turned his body sideways and dodged Tsunade's fist.

Like the dagger, the fist wind caused by Tsunade's fist also had a certain degree of lethality, making Shiraishi's cheek feel a throbbing pain, as if he had been slapped hard.

The two of them separated at the first touch, and moved away from both sides in unison, giving them more space to breathe.

Tsunade jumped up from the ground and launched an attack from mid-air.

Shiraishi slowed down a beat and could only step back.

The original ground immediately exploded under Tsunade's fist.

An area of ​​tens of meters in radius collapsed directly.

In terms of physical skills, it is already amazing.

In terms of physical skills, there are not many ninjas who can do this, and female ninjas are even rarer.

"I thought that Tsunade-sensei's body has already deteriorated since she has been sitting in the office. It seems that the sword has not aged well."

Bai Shi flashed his body, his figure shuttled through the air like the wind.

Tsunade pursued her, and her attack became more fierce.

"You are the one. I have never heard that you have such powerful skills."

Tsunade also refused to be outdone and retorted.

According to the information collected by Konoha, Shiraishi is not good at physical skills.

But at this moment, she realized that Shiraishi's physical skills were not weak either. Even if they were not among the top ones, they could definitely crush most ninjas.

"I just used surgery to slightly modify my body. After all, I don't have time to practice my physical skills regularly."

Because I have been experimenting or exploring the mysteries of the soul, I have naturally neglected the exploration of physical skills.

But Shiraishi, as an 'old-timer' in the ninja world, naturally knows that taijutsu is a foundation that cannot be ignored for a ninja.

Therefore, he used his own knowledge and various resources collected from the Kingdom of Ghosts to strengthen his body through surgical transformation.

Occasionally, after Ayane's individual training, the physical skills have not become sparse.

Otherwise, when fighting top ninjas, you will suffer a big loss due to your poor physical skills.

"Like Orochimaru?"

Tsunade once again shattered a piece of ground.

The sound of the explosion was not inferior to the bombs thrown by the local generals.

"How come, I'm not on the same page as those guys who rely on crooked ways to improve themselves. Your body is your most important asset."

Shiraishi responded like this, and the White Fang dagger in his hand slashed out continuously, erupting countless blade shadows in the air.

Not only physical fitness, but also swordsmanship, Shiraishi is also well trained.

After all, White Fang swordsmanship was the first actual combat swordsmanship he came into contact with. He also learned a little bit from Sakumo to protect himself.

Coupled with his good physique, his use of sword skills has naturally reached a higher level.

Tsunade resisted Shiraishi's blade blows with deft movements.

The knife speed is very fast and the accuracy is very high.

And as time goes by, Tsunade can find that Shiraishi's blade slashes are harder and faster, and the progress of improvement is extraordinary.

The difference brought about by that kind of improvement is like going from being raw to being skillful and using it perfectly.

Tsunade gritted her teeth, feeling the tight pressure.

A series of sword flashes passed by, incising countless wounds on her arms. Although they could heal themselves, the pain caused from time to time would occasionally cause her movements to stagnate.

Although she also injured Shiraishi through the impact of the fist, Shiraishi still showed no change in expression and attacked her without feeling tired at all.

The offense and defense immediately reversed.

Snapped!

Tsunade's heels clicked on a raised stone.

The body accidentally tilted sideways.

The careful calculation was responded to, and the smile on Shiraishi's face immediately became excited, and he sprinted out with the short sword in his hand.

"——!?"

The blade did hit Tsunade's body and penetrated through her body.

But the victory he imagined did not come. Instead, one of Tsunade's feet turned into a spear and flew towards him.

boom!

Shiraishi's body was launched like a cannonball and flew to the distant earth. After it hit the ground, it also kicked up a large amount of sand and dust.

There was blood spilled on the road.

The flesh and blood on the chest was kicked away, and the sternum and ribs showed signs of breakage.

"Ahem."

Shiraishi held the White Fang dagger that flew with him and supported his body.

"I see, are you planning to use this method to deal with me?"

Shiraishi stood up slowly. When he stood up, the broken sternum, ribs, and flesh and blood began to grow and heal rapidly, and they were intact as before.

Tsunade covered her punctured area, which was also healing.

"I deliberately deviated my body to avoid the fate of being stabbed in the heart... It was a good lesson. But you look very tired. I won't make a mistake next time."

Shiraishi flicked the blade, and Tsunade's blood splashed on the ground, forming a waning moon.

"You brat, I'm not too old to move yet!!!"

Tsunade shouted loudly, as if she was showing her strongest side to Shiraishi.

Without even adjusting his disordered breathing, he rushed forward and punched.

Shiraishi did not dodge, but showed respect and chose to fight head-on.

Water stains spilled from the foot of the white stone.

Water instantly!

Jumping to Tsunade's back, Shiraishi slashed out without mercy.

Tsunade moved her body, adjusted her stance, and swept her legs back.

Shiraishi quickly lowered his body, jumped sideways to dodge Tsunade's attack, and got out of Tsunade's attack range.

Tsunade missed the attack and immediately adjusted her posture again, preparing to pursue the victory.

However, her body trembled suddenly, and an unprecedented soreness and numbness hit her heart, causing her to instantly lose control of her body.

Her pupils opened and she immediately understood what was going on.

Poisoned!

Purple blood flowed from Tsunade's lips.

My mind is even more dizzy and inexplicable.

Vaguely, she saw a shadow of a knife approaching her.

Her heart was shaken, and her consciousness drove her body crazily to dodge to the side.

The white stone fell in front of Tsunade, and the white fang dagger waved with a cold light.

Tsunade's right hand fell to the ground along with part of her shoulder.

Shiraishi turned around and kicked out, hitting Tsunade in the chest.

boom!

Tsunade sped out.

Blood was spilled all the way and turned into a straight line.

Slight pain and twitching sounds came from Tsunade's mouth.

After standing up and regaining consciousness, the first thing he did was not treat the wound on his right shoulder. Instead, he quickly took out a pill from his ninja bag, stuffed it into his mouth and drank it.

Suppresses toxins in the body.

The self-healing ability of Bai Hao's Art also comes into play, and the wound quickly stops bleeding.

Cold sweat continued to slide down her face, and even her dusty hair was partly wet with sweat, covering part of her eyes in a messy manner.

Her eyes fell on the short knife in Shiraishi's hand, which was coated with poison.

It must have been done by Shiraishi when she wasn't paying attention.

Every time a wound was made on her body, poison was injected.

The use of poison and detoxification is also one of the basic topics necessary for medical ninjas.

"It's really amazing. In addition to super self-healing, does that technique also have the ability to suppress poison? My specially prepared poison has only taken effect now."

Shiraishi wiped away the blood on the blade.

The smile on his face disappeared and became expressionless.

A pair of eyes were even deeper, vaguely containing boundless darkness, like a black hole swallowing Tsunade's figure.

"Except for Ayane and the others, Tsunade-sensei, you are the first one to persist for so long. However, you are old. No matter how hard you refuse to admit defeat, if you haven't noticed this, it means that your eyesight can no longer keep up with my battle. The rhythm is over. The battle is over. I specially prepared that poison for you, and it will take enough time and samples to unlock it."

Shiraishi stepped forward step by step without haste or slowness.

The rhythmic sound of footsteps approaching was clearly audible in conjunction with Tsunade's intensifying beating heart.

Stopping, Shiraishi looked over.

There was no anger on Tsunade's face, nor was there any resentment towards Shiraishi. There was just a forced smile, revealing something that no one could see clearly.

She raised her fist and clenched it tightly.

This means not giving up and continuing to fight.

As if he understood, the expression on Bai Shi's face became a little silent, and a faint sadness flashed from his eyes.

Without words, Shiraishi launched a frontal thrust towards Tsunade, who was beginning to exhaust herself and had only one last punch left to use.

Her consciousness was intermittent, and the ferocious poison eroded Tsunade's body, and the pictures she looked at were blurry and distorted.

Nerve paralysis, slow movement.

Seeing Shiraishi's sudden figure, it seemed like he was watching in slow motion.

Time was stretched very long.

It seems like a long time.

Finally, the return of consciousness came from the sound of wind.

The coldness penetrated into my heart.

The fists were punched out subconsciously.

The blurry picture seemed to have passed through the rippling water and became clear instantly.

The restored vision made Tsunade suddenly feel like she was in another world.

"cough!"

Purple poisonous blood spurted from the mouth.

The fist hit Shiraishi's nose, but it was weak. After a slight touch, it slipped down.

This is the first time in my life that I have punched such a weak fist. Normally, I might laugh at myself, but now I don't even have the space to laugh at myself.

The blade actually pierced her heart, and the toxin stagnated her body functions and chakra.

The next thing that became weak was his body, which leaned forward and fell into Shiraishi's arms.

His consciousness was blurred again, and there was only the sound of wind in his ears.

Darkness slowly encroached on her vision, shutting out the light.

Shiraishi stretched out his arms, hugged Tsunade tightly in his arms, and patted her back gently, as if coaxing a child, as if this could bring her a little warmth in the end.

"It's okay, Tsunade-sensei, you won't feel pain anymore."

Shiraishi slowly closed his eyes, as if in mourning.
