"Clan Leader!"
"Clan Leader!"
Rengoku turned his head to look back, because he had arrived at the center of the explosion.
The Uchiha clansmen had already come over while he was fighting.
When they didn't find him outside, they all followed in.
Rengoku waved his hand, and Rinjin quickly came to his side.
"Give these things to Orochimaru, and take this child back for treatment," He gave Rinjin a wink, meaning that this child had to be kept.
Rinjin had been by Rengoku's side long enough to understand this.
Holding the items and hugging Hotaru, he went down.
Rengoku looked around, this center was the most spacious and terrifying.
Clean referred to everything here being flattened, and terrifying referred to some places having many dark traces smeared on the ground.
These dark traces extended outward with distance, gradually turning into severed limbs, tougher human bones, and corpse fragments.
Farther out, you could see more complete pieces of corpses.
Continuing outward, you could finally see living people.
After dismembering Danzo here, Rengoku immediately gave orders to the other clansmen, "You also go look for survivors, save people first before anything else."
"Yes!"
Almost all of Uchiha's combatants had come and immediately joined the rescue.
Here, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt like he had put on a show for nothing; Rengoku had no intention of arguing with him.
But this matter had indeed caught him off guard.
He had indeed secretly leaked the information about the Kinjutsu bearer to Danzo.
It was to use this to deal with Danzo.
The Third Hokage personally signed a secret agreement with the Kinjutsu bearer because he knew that the lineage of the Kinjutsu had no successors.
The bearer was terminally ill and soon to die, and there was already no one left who could use the Tsuchigumo clan's secret arts.
Letting Danzo take action to capture him could plant a crime on Danzo, making it easier to remove him.
It could also allow Danzo to extract the Tsuchigumo clan's secret arts.
Unexpectedly, the Kinjutsu bearer still had the ability to use secret arts.
Under this situation, Danzo had to die. Dead men tell no tales, only then could things be handled.
The Third Hokage also quickly took command of the rescue.
The Hyuga clan now played their role, spreading out and continuously using the Byakugan to detect and search for survivors.
Other ninjas moved debris off the top.
Constantly pulling out the people who were still alive.
High-level ninjas had considerable strength, and those who could use Earth Style ninjutsu were a great help.
Of course, the most versatile among them was the Akimichi clan.
After growing large, the collapsed buildings were like toy blocks, casually pushed aside by them.
The others quickly searched for people.
This explosion covered part of the civilian residential area.
With a high population density, people were constantly being dug out.
Though rescuing people was fast, treating them wasn't easy.
Konoha's hospital was already operating at full capacity, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Some of the wounded couldn't even be sent to the hospital, only laid out in open spaces after being pulled out.
At this time, the Third Hokage's face was full of worry.
But the arrival of two people made his brows ease slightly.
"Tsunade! You're back just in time! Quick, save people!"
The ones who came back were Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Tsunade, as a top-tier medical ninja, could undoubtedly save more lives by appearing now.
But Tsunade currently had severe hemophobia and could only adopt another method.
"Try to rescue everyone! I will summon the slug right away!"
Tsunade closed her eyes, pushing out the images of severed limbs she saw on the way here from her mind.
The Third Hokage also understood Tsunade's meaning and quickly directed people to move.
Tsunade formed hand seals, and the Yin Seal on her forehead lit up.
In an instant, the Strength of a Hundred Seal formed.
Chakra exploded violently from Tsunade's body, bursting with tremendous energy.
Tsunade bit her finger and held it so it wouldn't heal, forming seals with her hands.
Summoning Technique!
Bang!
A huge cloud of smoke spread out.
A super gigantic slug appeared here, its standing height was over a hundred meters, enough to cover the sky and block the sun.
A clear and ethereal voice came.
"Ah, what happened to Konoha?"
"Slug-sama, save people first, everything else later!"
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
The slug's entire body began to transform, then exploded into countless small slugs, densely packed, like it was raining slugs.
After landing, the slugs squirmed toward the injured.
Many villagers, who had never seen this before, were still quite scared.
The nearby ninja shouted, "Everyone don't be afraid, this is Tsunade-sama's summoned beast, here to heal everyone."
Though many civilians had never seen the slug, under the reassurance of Konoha ninjas, they still allowed the slugs to approach them.
Those touched by the small slugs recovered quickly.
The villagers were all deeply grateful to Tsunade.
The chakra in Tsunade's body was almost completely drained.
Jiraiya at the side tried to help her up, but Tsunade was already sitting on the ground panting.
At this moment, he could only awkwardly scratch his nose.
The more chakra Tsunade output, the larger the slug's body, and the more people it could save.
Using the Yin Seal was also to ensure an explosive amount of chakra.
Fortunately, the chakra stored in the Yin Seal was still sufficient. In just a short moment, Tsunade had recovered.
But she still sat on the ground, unmoving. Mainly because too many injured had external wounds.
Bloody scenes that made her unable to treat them.
However, with the split slugs, many of the seriously injured had their lives saved.
Rescue continued into the night. The Hyuga clan repeatedly confirmed there was no one buried left.
Only then did the ninjas slowly disperse.
There were too many injured.
Even though Tsunade summoned the slug and kept many people alive, they couldn't recover instantly. The hospital was already overcrowded.
The village simply used Earth Style to raise walls for wind-blocking, threw on a cover, and made a temporary hospital.
Nono, Kabuto, Shizune, and other medical ninjas were so busy they spun like tops.
Rengoku didn't stay at the scene the whole time.
After most people were rescued, he led the clan members back to the clan grounds.
"Is everything in the clan normal?"
Rengoku had just returned to the clan when he saw Itachi waiting for him at the entrance with people.
He waved to the people behind him, "You all go rest first."
Itachi then pulled out Sasuke, Karin, and Gaara from behind him.
"They sneaked out to the scene and were brought back by me."
Sasuke and Karin's faces were pale, clearly shocked by what they saw at the disaster site.
After all, they were still young, and scenes of severed limbs were rather traumatizing.
Gaara, on the other hand, looked fine. After all, he had taken quite a few lives with his own hands.
It was just that Rengoku didn't expect him to join in on the excitement.
Sasuke and Karin looked at Rengoku nervously.
Rengoku reached out and knocked both Sasuke and Karin on the forehead.
"Now you know to be scared, so why didn't you listen before?"
Sasuke rubbed his forehead, "Ouch… sorry, Shishou. We were just curious."
Karin covered her head, "Shishou, I was wrong."
Rengoku glanced at Gaara staring at him and reached out as well.
Though Gaara's sand rushed up immediately, Rengoku wasn't someone seven-year-old Gaara could stop.
He directly broke through Gaara's sand defense and pinched Gaara's cheek.
"You too, always causing trouble."
Gaara's cool expression immediately cracked.
"Hiss… hiss…", Gaara, who had never had his face pinched before, grimaced in pain.
Rengoku twisted Gaara's face with effort, "Do you know you were wrong?"
"Y-Yes… sorry… Rengoku-sama," Gaara quickly surrendered as well.
Rengoku let go, "I'm very busy now. I'll deal with you all later."
"Go rest yourselves."
After speaking, Rengoku waved to Itachi, signaling him to follow.
Gaara rubbed his sore cheek, but his heart felt warm.
