Chapter 609 Powerful
White Fang's voice carried a hint of regret: "However, Hanzo's luck was truly terrible. He happened to encounter Granny Chiyo from Sunagakure and Tsunade, our Konoha's medical ninja. These two experts in detoxification were like his destined nemesis, greatly negating his advantage in poisons, and his expansion plans were thus thwarted. Although he remained powerful, no village truly liked him, and no one was willing to ally with him. Poison techniques are ultimately a double-edged sword; they can bring destruction, but they can also bring isolation."
After listening to White Fang's analysis, Orochimaru nodded thoughtfully and did not suggest using poison again.
After careful consideration, White Fang made an unexpected decision. He turned to Tsunade, his tone filled with absolute trust: "Starting tomorrow, Tsunade, you will be in command. I have absolute confidence in your medical ninjutsu, especially your expertise in detoxification."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Tsunade's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, she replied without reservation, "Alright!" Her voice was firm and powerful, full of confidence.
The next morning, a new round of fighting finally began.
The entire Sand Village mobilized, their massive army advancing through the sandstorm, banners fluttering in the wind, their morale soaring. On the Konoha side, the three legendary Sannin—Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya—stood proudly at the forefront of the Konoha army. Tsunade summoned a giant slug, Orochimaru summoned Manda, and Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta; each of these enormous summoning beasts displayed an astonishing aura, like three immortal war gods, protecting the Konoha ninja behind them.
In the Sunagakure camp, Granny Chiyo's sharp eyes scanned the Konoha's positions, but she couldn't find the white figure. Her brow furrowed, her voice laced with doubt and anger as she asked, "Where's White Fang? That damned Konoha White Fang!"
At this moment, Tsunade had already learned from the captured Sand Village ninja the root of the conflict between Granny Chiyo and Konoha's White Fang—Sasori's parents, her son and daughter-in-law, had died at White Fang's hands. Tsunade stepped forward, her loud voice echoing across the battlefield: "Granny Chiyo! On the battlefield, life and death are determined by fate!" Her sharp eyes stared directly at Chiyo, "If you seek revenge for your children, then who should we, the millions of Konoha ninja who sacrificed their lives, seek revenge against!"
Tsunade's words pierced Chiyo's heart like a sharp sword, completely severing the logic of her long-held hatred. Chiyo was rendered speechless by Tsunade's words; her face turned ashen, and her body trembled slightly with rage. Finally, she let out a cold snort, a crazed resolve flashing in her eyes: "Since you've entered the battlefield, then be prepared to die!"
Before she finished speaking, Granny Chiyo formed hand seals, and the puppet army behind her instantly activated. Several giant, squid-like puppets rose into the air from the Sand Village's position. They opened their enormous mouths, and large plumes of black poisonous mist, as if alive, carrying a stench and an aura of death, surged towards the Leaf Village's position. Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the sand on the ground instantly turned black, emitting a sizzling, corrosive sound, demonstrating the extreme potency of the poison.
However, Konoha was prepared for the onslaught of poisonous gas. Tsunade waved her hand, and the Wind Release ninjas who had been waiting immediately came to the front. They formed hand seals, their chakra surging, and in unison unleashed "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" A violent whirlwind roared out from Konoha's position, like an invisible giant hand, slamming down on the black poisonous mist.
The Sand Village was not to be outdone. A large number of Wind Release ninjas also gathered at the front of the formation. They roared and used Wind Release ninjutsu to fight against Konoha's Wind Release, trying to push the poison gas towards Konoha.
In an instant, a fierce wind howled across the battlefield, and chakra raged. The poisonous gas, propelled by two powerful wind-release techniques, was scattered and dispersed everywhere, permeating the entire battlefield. Wherever it passed, even the hardest rocks began to show signs of corrosion, not to mention the vegetation, which withered and turned black instantly.
Tsunade's sharp eyes were fixed on the spreading poisonous fog; she knew time was of the essence. She split into several miniature slugs, which swiftly flew into the fog, picked up sand contaminated by the poisonous gas, and then quickly returned to Tsunade's side. Tsunade took the sand, gave it a slight sniff, and, with her keen sense of toxins and years of research, instantly recognized the type of poison.
"Take the red pills!" Tsunade shouted loudly to the Konoha team, her voice resounding across the battlefield like a booming bell.
The Konoha ninja obeyed Tsunade's orders without hesitation. They swiftly retrieved the pills Tsunade had prepared beforehand from their ninja tool pouches and swallowed them without a second thought. When the poison gas spread, a miracle occurred! This potentially deadly gas, upon contact with the Konoha ninja who had taken the pills, dissipated rapidly like white mist, causing them no harm whatsoever. Not a single person was injured by the gas, and Konoha's defenses remained completely intact.
Granny Chiyo witnessed this scene from afar, her face filled with disbelief. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she muttered to herself, "How is this possible?!" She had absolute confidence in her poison; apart from herself and Hanzo, there was no third person in the world who could develop the corresponding antidote so quickly.
Undeterred, Chiyo immediately switched to another type of poison gas and injected it into the puppets, commanding them to spew out even denser and more bizarre poisonous mist.
However, Konoha followed suit. Wind Release ninjas immediately used ninjutsu again to block and disperse the poison gas. Tsunade's slugs were deployed once more, quickly collecting samples. Within just a few breaths, Tsunade issued another order: "Take the green pills!"
And so, Granny Chiyo's poison gas, which had always worked, was rendered useless by Tsunade, who easily countered it and thwarted all of her plans.
Granny Chiyo finally lost her temper. She flung her hands around, manipulating the puppet to shoot hundreds of thin, highly poisoned needles from her arms, raining down on Tsunade herself.
"A mere trick!" Tsunade sneered. She slammed her fist into the ground, and a huge rock was lifted up by her brute force, standing in front of her like a shield and blocking all the hundred poison needles.
Then, Tsunade walked to the rock and fearlessly pulled out a poisoned needle. After examining it closely, she said sarcastically, "This is a fusion of the poison of the Death Insect and the Poisonous Scorpion, isn't it? Interesting, but unfortunately, Granny Chiyo." A confident smile played on Tsunade's lips. "These poisons... are ineffective against me!"
After saying this, in front of Granny Chiyo, she directly touched the deadly toxin on the poison needle with her own finger. The highly toxic venom quickly seeped into her skin; however, Tsunade's body showed no signs of poisoning, and her skin didn't even change color.
