I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

But upon closer inspection, she was surprised to discover that her grandson's puppets were all of exceptionally high quality.

They even subtly surpassed her Chikamatsu Ten Ninja.

You should know that her Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters were the masterpieces meticulously crafted by Bunzaemon, the progenitor of puppetry in their village.

His puppetry skills were unparalleled.

"Don't let it be all bark and no bite. The battlefield is not like an ordinary battle; it's the ultimate test of a puppet's sturdiness." Although surprised by the quality of her grandson's puppet, Chiyo still forced herself to maintain a senior's demeanor.

scorpion:"."

Sure enough, people are more prone to presbyopia as they get older.

While his Red Secret Technique puppets may not be as good as the Third Kazekage's in terms of quality, they are definitely superior to those of the Chikamatsu Ten.

Scorpion was too lazy to waste words with the old man beside him and was ready to prove with actual results that his puppetry skills had surpassed his opponent's.

The addition of the Senju clan brought new strength to Konoha.

But all things considered, Tsunade's side only had a little over three thousand ninjas in total.

In comparison, the allied forces of the Land of Stars and Sunagakure had a force of six thousand.

Even though Tsunade spared no expense in consuming a large amount of chakra and used slugs to enhance the combat capabilities of the Konoha people, not to mention the disparity in top-level combat strength, with a difference of twice the number of troops, it was still difficult to change the course of the battle.

Large-scale wars are the ultimate test of combat capabilities.

The current war is developing very rapidly.

Although Tsunade and her Konoha army started off with great momentum, Konoha quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

In particular, the dominant suppression of top-tier combatants such as Uchiha Mikoto, Amegakure, Sasori, and Chiyo.

When facing the top-tier combat power of the Allied Forces, the people of Konoha suffered continuous casualties.

boom! ! !

The two fists collided, and the impact of the molten lava erupted violently, causing severe cracking and collapse of the surrounding ground.

The fists belong to Tsunade and Natsumi respectively.

During the brief stalemate, Xia Rixing, relying on her superhuman strength, was at a disadvantage in terms of power and was forced back by Tsunade.

However, Tsunade was also no match for the intense heat of the lava, and her fist was burned.

The Hundred Healings Technique is reborn.

At the start of the battle, Tsunade unleashed her full power, breaking the 'Yin Seal'.

Thanks to her extraordinary regenerative abilities, the burns on Tsunade's fist healed rapidly.

However, during this process, someone quickly replaced Xia Rixing.

"Immortal Technique: Scorching Escape!"

Yekura condensed a massive fireball and attacked from the side with icy eyes.

boom! ! !

The enormous fireball engulfed Tsunade, and the terrifying heat it contained almost melted her entire body.

Destruction and rebirth.

Thanks to the regeneration generated by the rapid depletion of chakra, Tsunade stumbled out of the fireball's fiery waves.

But what awaited her was another summer star.

In the previous collision, Xia Rixing was at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

However, neither the defense provided by the Peacock Armor nor the self-healing ability brought by the Four-Tailed Fox caused any substantial damage to Xia Rixing.

"Peacock's Wonderful Technique: Eagle Claw!"

A sharp claw strike tore through.

Tsunade, who had hastily parried, was blasted away, and her defensive arms were torn open with deep, bone-revealing claw marks.

"Rapid fire!"

Fireballs flew out, quickly catching up with Tsunade who was flying backward, and once again plunging her into the terrible burning of the Scorch Release.

"Flying Wing Slash!"

Spread your wings and fly.

Flying at low altitude, Summer Star used its wings as blades, and in a swift motion, it added another scorching slash wound to Tsunade's body.

Mutual exchange.

Although it was their first time working together, Natsumi and Yekura still demonstrated top-tier combat capabilities.

The two gave Tsunade no chance to catch her breath, launching attack after attack without pause.

Similarly, facing two opponents at once, Tsunade would find it extremely difficult to even parry, let alone retaliate, against the combined attack of Natsumi and Yekura.

From the very beginning of the battle, she was basically relying on the Hundred Healings Technique to hold on.

However, even the Hundred Healings Technique has its limits.

The slugs that heal the people of Konoha constantly consume a large amount of Tsunade's chakra.

In addition, his injuries accumulated over time.

This caused Tsunade's chakra to be consumed like a flood breaking through a dam.

"Lady Tsunade, let me help you!"

A figure radiating green energy rushed towards them from afar, shouting as it flew.

"Wind Style: Thousand Faces of Wind!"

"Peacock's Wonderful Technique: Beast!"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"."

Countless tiny wind blades and materialized chakra forming a fierce tiger, among other ninjutsu, intercepted the approaching green figure.

The interceptors were ninjas from Sunagakure and the Land of Stars.

While Natsumi, Yekura, and Tsunade were fighting, each of them was closely watched by their own people nearby.

If people from Konoha were to try to interfere with their commander's battle, the people from the nearby Land of Stars and Sunagakure would naturally not allow it.

Chapter 245 Azure Beast

"Sixth Gate - View Gate - Open!"

The green energy emanating from his body suddenly surged. Faced with the attack, Might Guy not only did not retreat, but instead burst out with even greater speed.

As he sped away, Might Guy managed to evade the attack with his incredible speed, while simultaneously closing the distance and launching a powerful kick at the nearest Summer Star.

"Eagle Claw!"

The third eye between Xia Rixing's brows allowed her to immediately sense Might Guy's approach.

Sensing that the opponent's attack was extraordinary, Xia Rixing decisively reached out and unleashed a scorching lava claw.

Boom! ! !

Amidst the visible shockwaves, scalding lava splashed everywhere.

Although Might Guy was not as good as his future son, when he opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates, both his speed and strength reached an astonishing level.

In the fierce collision, his flying kick actually shattered Xia Rixing's lava claws.

However, Matt Day did not gain the upper hand.

His right foot was also burned by the lava, and he staggered to the ground in pain.

"Be careful of this guy, he has mastered an extremely powerful martial art." Might Guy's arrival also caught Yekura's attention.

Upon seeing Might Guy, Yekura immediately shouted a reminder to Natsumi.

It is obvious that Might Guy did not just enter the battlefield, but had already fought alongside Tsunade against Sunagakure.

To be precise, Might Guy is now a capable assistant newly promoted by Tsunade.

The reason for this comes from the Eight Gates Formation.

An experience different from the original storyline.

In the power struggle between Tsunade and Danzo, in order to recruit more talents from the village, she inadvertently discovered Might Guy, a hidden genius.

At the time, Might Guy was just a low-ranking ninja who was looked down upon by many, but because he had mastered the Eight Gates, he attracted Tsunade's attention.

The main reason is that she has read the Book of Sealing and knows that the Eight Gates Formation is not simple.

So when she learned that someone in the village was practicing this forbidden technique, she, eager to learn, made a special effort to find out more.

As a result, she discovered that Might Guy had not only learned the Eight Gates Formation, but had also mastered it to the eighth gate.

Although Might Guy did not open the Eighth Gate, the mere display of the Seventh Gate was enough for Tsunade to realize that she had struck gold.

Back to the present.
