After the meal, the group chatted for a while.
As the sky gradually darkened, they slowly dispersed. The easy days were numbered.
To give the Konoha Ninjas a better chance of winning, Lord Tsunade started making a large quantity of poison.
As a Medical Ninja, since she could detoxify, she was also familiar with poison.
This was something she used to disdain to tinker with, but now she had no choice but to do it.
After all, since there was a significant numerical gap between the Konoha Ninjas and the combined forces of the two villages, using poison was a last resort.
One day, Lord Tsunade received Intelligence that the Iwagakure Ninjas had entered the territory of the Land of Rain.
She put down the medicine she was preparing and immediately ordered the assembly of troops for the expedition.
"All Ninjas assemble!"
At Lord Tsunade's command, Ninjas went to spread the news, and the Konoha camp instantly became chaotic.
The fully - equipped Ninjas gathered at the camp gate.
A moment later, Tsunade and Kawaki arrived together.
Looking at the assembled large troop, Lord Tsunade didn't waste any words.
With a wave of her hand, she said, "Let's go!"
The large troop split into two. Sakumo and Dai led a group to stay behind to guard against the Sunagakure Ninjas.
Kawaki and Lord Tsunade led the way and headed straight for the position of the Iwagakure Ninjas.
They quickly shuttled through the dense forest. The humidity in the air was still very high.
Before long, everyone's clothes were wet, but the progress of the team remained unchanged.
Quiet and swift.
Not knowing how far they had left the camp, all they could see around were towering trees that seemed to reach the clouds.
"Lord Tsunade, there are Iwagakure spies ahead."
The radar of the Hyuga clan was still reliable.
"Kill 'em."
Before Lord Tsunade could respond, Kawaki spat out two words expressionlessly.
This little matter didn't require him to do it himself.
Before Minato and Nawaki could say a word, someone took the initiative.
"I'll go."
Fugaku voluntarily took on this task and disappeared behind Kawaki with a flash.
After a few leaps in the forest, he was out of sight.
Kawaki watched his disappearing figure. This kid had made great progress in strength.
He could probably avoid one of his kicks now.
The team didn't stop. The news of their sortie couldn't be hidden.
The Iwagakure Ninjas couldn't have only a few spies observing their movements.
Only by being fast enough could they catch the Iwagakure Ninjas off guard.
A moment later, Fugaku returned. The Kunai in his hand was still dripping blood.
He casually shook off the bloodstains and put the Kunai back into his ninja tool bag.
"Done."
There was no trace of pride in his tone. If he couldn't even deal with these few spies,
How could he even think of catching up with the man in front of him?
"Well done."
Kawaki casually gave a perfunctory compliment. If he couldn't handle this simple task, he truly had no business being the Uchiha clan leader.
The Iwagakure spies who went back to report the news wished they had a few more legs. The Konoha Ninjas were moving too fast.
ōnoki was leading the Iwagakure Ninjas to set up camp. After a long journey, both men and horses were exhausted, and they needed to rest.
They chose a hill with a high elevation, which offered a good view and wouldn't be affected by Puddles of water.
With a large number of Ninjas proficient in Earth Release[b]Earth Release[/b] performing their jutsu, one earthen house after another rose from the land.
The speed of building these houses was probably only a bit slower than that of Yamato.
Ōnoki led the way into a large house to take a rest, and Rōshi was placed far away by him.
He was even worried that Rōshi would come to him at night to talk about life. It was so annoying.
Rōshi himself was happy to be at ease. Whenever he saw Ōnoki, he couldn't help but question him about something.
The two really didn't get along well.
Before Ōnoki could close his eyes and take a nap, an Iwagakure Ninja came to report.
"The Third Lord, the troops from Konoha are coming towards us."
"Damn it, are they coming so fast!"
"Who's leading the team?"
Ōnoki rolled off the bed in a hurry, his face serious. The speed of Konoha exceeded his expectations.
"Kawaki Hatake and Tsunade."
That Iwagakure Ninja replied very surely.
"Damn it, it's those two guys again."
"Assemble and get ready to fight."
After Ōnoki finished speaking, he flew out of the room directly and headed in the direction where Rōshi was.
He was afraid that if he didn't go, Rōshi wouldn't take action. As the Tsuchikage, he really lost face.
Ōnoki directly pushed the door open. Before he arrived, his voice had already come out.
"Rōshi, the Konoha Ninjas are here. Come with me to fight."
When he entered Rōshi's room, he saw him meditating.
"Got it."
Rōshi opened his eyes, glanced at Ōnoki, and then reluctantly agreed.
He got out of bed with a reluctant look on his face.
"Let's go."
Ōnoki didn't plan to have more communication with Rōshi. On the battlefield, whether for the sake of the Iwagakure Ninjas or his own safety, Rōshi wouldn't slack off.
Rōshi followed Ōnoki out of the room silently.
Before the troops were fully assembled, another Iwagakure Ninja came to report that the Konoha Ninjas were not far away.
"Is it right in front?"
Kawaki asked the radar beside him.
"They're already in sight. Their camp isn't fully set up yet."
The veins around the radar's eyes bulged as he clearly saw the situation of the Iwagakure camp.
"Attack!"
Tsunade let out a roar. Seven tails silently emerged behind her, and the violent Tailed Beast Chakra forced the surrounding Ninjas to step back a few meters.
She instantly entered the half - Tailed Beast transformation state, and a huge Tailed Beast Ball slowly took shape in her mouth.
Following the radar's guidance, the Tailed Beast Ball rushed towards the Iwagakure camp violently.
All the trees in the path of the Tailed Beast Ball were destroyed, creating a straight path leading directly to the Iwagakure camp.
"Charge!"
Kawaki held his sword and took the lead.
This sword was made by the best blacksmith in the town, which was far inferior to those made by Old Tie.
He could only make do with it for now.
The Konoha Ninjas behind him scattered and surrounded the hill on the high - ground in a fan shape.
"Dust Release: Primitive World Rejection Technique."
Ōnoki noticed the approaching Tailed Beast Ball that gradually grew larger in his sight.
He soared into the air, quickly formed the Hand Seals, and then spread his hands, accurately hitting the Tailed Beast Ball with a Dust Release[b]Dust Release[/b] technique.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion went off, and an astonishing wave of air spread out between the Ninjas of the two villages.
The surrounding trees were directly turned into debris and scattered during the explosion. A circular pit appeared in front of everyone.
"They're here. Charge!"
Ōnoki's expression turned solemn, and the Iwagakure Ninjas rushed out of the camp.
Rōshi, who was standing beside Ōnoki, was no longer silent.
The figures of Kawaki and Tsunade had already appeared in his sight.
"Just a Seven-Tailed Beast Jinchūriki."
This was Rōshi's confidence in his own strength, and also Son Gokū's thought.
"Don't be careless."
ōnoki had learned his lesson. Even though Tsunade was not that powerful, Kawaki Hatake truly troubled him.
"I'm going to see how powerful Kawaki Hatake is."
The war broke out. Rōshi seemed to have changed into a different person, and the fighting spirit in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
Konoha Ninjas swarmed in from all directions and clashed with the Iwagakure Ninjas in ōnoki's sight.
At this crucial moment of life and death, both sides showed extremely amazing fighting power and bloodlust.
However, the weapons of the Konoha Ninjas were all coated with the poison prepared by Tsunade. They gained the upper hand in their first encounter with the Iwagakure Ninjas.
The sword blade pierced the chest. Even without the poison, the victim couldn't survive.
When a kunai scratched someone's body, a spray of blood splashed, and the Iwagakure Ninjas instantly lost their fighting power and became easy prey.
Tsunade's poison was truly deadly!
