To maintain the effect of the Living Slug - Primary Therapy, Tsunade could not be too far away from Konoha's army.
Although Konoha had prepared all kinds of concealment for Tsunade's location, there were very high-level trackers among the Ninjas sent by the Cloud Ninjas. Combined with the general radius of the army, they still found the former.
In detecting the Cloud Ninjas, Tsunade, the target, was sitting on the ground with her eyes closed. It could be seen that the other side had consumed a lot of Chakra.
On the other side, in addition to an ordinary Konoha Ninjas team, another team looked like they were from the Dark Group.
Only two small teams were guarding the side, and Tsunade's combat power was negligible. This undoubtedly proved the judgment of the Cloud Ninjas.
Without any hesitation, the thirty-two Cloud Ninjas appeared and rushed toward Tsunade.
They did not know that even if this operation succeeded, it would not change the situation.
But even if they knew, the Cloud Ninjas who completed the mission would continue.
At this time, Konoha's Ninjas guarding Tsunade also noticed the situation.
Among them, Tokuma Hyuga opened his eyes and reported with a serious expression, "A total of eight Hidden Cloud Ninjas, twenty-four Hidden Cloud Ninjas!"
At this moment, the Shadow Guards of Yuki were guarding Tsunade.
As the Hokage, he planned to break into the Cloud Ninjas so the Shadow Guards naturally could not follow him, or they would die.
So, Yuki let the Shadow Guards guard Tsunade, together with a specially prepared Konoha team.
The Cloud Ninjas could think of the importance of Tsunade, but Konoha doesn't know.
Naturally, they were well prepared.
If there were a fish that took the bait, then he would eat it.
This was because, in the eyes of the Cloud Ninjas, the surname of everyone in the team was the Uchiha!
One was the Uchiha, two were the Uchiha, and one was the combination of the Uchiha. According to the traditions of the Ninja World, they would need at least double the group's strength.
In addition to the two special Jonins from the Shadow Guards, there were two superior Ninjas.
Such power was enough to destroy a small Ninja Village.
However, what made the captain of the Shadow Guards, Hayama, the frown was that the power sent by the Cloud Ninjas was beyond his imagination.
In particular, there was a lot of the Cloud Ninjas that he could even call out their names. They were elites on the same level as him.
The only ones who could deal with these elite Jonins, apart from himself, were only Aya Uchiha and another Uchiha.
Perhaps the two special Jonins of the Uchiha could also contend with the Hidden Cloud by relying on their Sharingan.
But this was still not enough!
Although Yuki had told him before the start of the war that Uchiha had a powerful killing weapon here, Hayama looked left and right. He knew the strength of the Uchiha and the special Jonin. Although they were very good, he could not see that they were the kind of existence that the Hokage could call a powerful killing weapon.
Could he rely on the only middle Ninja of the Uchiha?
Looking at his age he was only about ten years old. Although he was already a middle Ninja at this age, he was definitely very talented, but it was useless here!
So, what was this so-called powerful killing weapon?
Hayama was very puzzled.
Itachi Uchiha, who had just noticed the former's probing gaze, also looked back at the other person in confusion.
After discovering that Hayama had retracted his gaze, he no longer cared and continued to look at the approaching Cloud Ninjas.
Unlike others, at this time, Itachi's face remained calm.
This kind of calm was not deliberately maintained but truly from the heart.
In the end, Hayama looked back at Tsunade, who maintained medical ninjutsu. He gritted his teeth and said, "For Konoha, we have to protect Lord Tsunade at all costs! It's all up to you! We can delay as much time as we can!"
Now, they could only hope that Konoha's army would be able to send reinforcements as soon as possible after they noticed the situation here.
Seeing that the situation was very urgent, Tekuno Kanden immediately took action.
Although his frontal strength was not as good as the Jonin, as a master of traps, as long as he had enough time, he could cause several times more damage to the enemy.
As a place to protect Tsunade, he had already set up many traps nearby; this time, it was just in time to use them.
He saw his chubby hands quickly dance at a speed that was completely different from the outside.
Under the touch of the transparent threads, the Cloud Ninjas' path soon caused an explosion or a sword that came from nowhere shot over.
The four Chunin of the Cloud Ninjas were instantly killed.
In the following time, even though the Cloud Ninjas were on guard, they still could not avoid casualties without the ability to see through.
In the end, there were only fifteen out of the twenty-four Chunin.
Although the eight-strong upper Ninja was not injured, they were still sorry.
Fortunately, they finally rushed to the front of Konoha's Ninjas.
"Go to hell!"
As if they saw Konoha's Ninjas lying in a pool of blood in fear even Tsunade, one of the three Ninjas, would be killed by them. The remaining people, led by the eight Hidden Cloud Ninjas, revealed a ferocious smile.
However, just when they were about to raise their butcher knives, the Konoha team and Aya Uchiha, who looked very ordinary to them, suddenly looked at each other.
Then,
They all opened their Sharingan.
The illusion of the Sharingan!
The matter came too suddenly, and the Cloud Ninjas did not expect that their Konoha Ninjas were the Uchiha.
The latter's clothes were printed with something other than the Uchiha's emblem like before.
So, the first five Hidden Cloud Ninjas were hit without any accidents.
They were already prepared for Konoha's attack.
In the end, the surprise attack resulted in the three Hidden Cloud Ninjas dying without any resistance, leaving only two with minor injuries.
The latter was like this because the effect of the two special Sharingan illusions on them was relatively low, and they were able to break free very quickly.
But unexpectedly, the Hidden Cloud Ninja facing Weasel also died without any time to resist.
This was a pleasant surprise.
Hayama and the others were very surprised.
But now it was too late to ask because the remaining Cloud Ninjas quickly lowered their heads together in tacit understanding and then continued to attack angrily.
Although the Cloud Ninjas were caught off guard by the Uchiha and died three times, the overall strength of the five Jonins and fifteen Jonins was still above that of Konoha.
Hayama and the others had no other strategy, so they could only fight head-on.
Fortunately, with this continuous reduction, it would not be so difficult for them to deal with them.
Now, they only needed to delay for a little longer until the reinforcements from Konoha arrived.
....
On the battlefield, when the Cloud Ninjas suddenly attacked Tsunade, the current commander of the Konoha army immediately learned of this news through the slug on his shoulder.
He naturally knew the importance of Tsunade to Konoha.
It just so happened that the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and he could draw people to help.
Just as he was about to take action, the slug on his shoulder suddenly sent Tsunade a new message.
There was no need to send reinforcements.
What was going on?
The commander of Konoha was a bit confused.
However, Tsunade would not make a mistake on such an important matter. He did not think too much about it and looked at the battlefield.
Looking at such many heads, it was a good time to capture them!
...
The form of the battlefield where Tsunade was located changed so quickly that the commander of Konoha was in a straight mood.
And the cause of all this was Itachi Uchiha, who everyone had ignored.
As the only middle Ninja present in the plan, it was originally Hayama, Aya Uchiha, the other Uchiha, and two special Uchiha Jonins to deal with five Hidden Cloud Ninjas. The remaining 15 Hidden Cloud Ninjas were dealt with by him, Tokuma and Tekuno.
Time was pressing, and Itachi rationally did not refute.
The difference between Jonin and Chunin was small.
In the ensuing battle, the expected scene where the three of them should struggle to support the fifteen Chunin teaming up did not appear.
On the contrary, the fifteen Cloud Ninjas were almost killed by Itachi alone.
At first, the ten or so people wanted to take out some people to deal with Tsunade.
However, when they noticed that Itachi easily killed several people in a single move, they no longer had any ideas and quickly gathered together to fight.
However, this still did not stop Itachi from continuously killing.
Rip!
Another Hidden Cloud Ninja was cut in the neck by a skunk. Just as he was expressionlessly looking for the next prey, and when the group of Cloud Ninjas were trembling with fear, an accident that was not good for Konoha suddenly happened in the hands of an Uchiha special Jonin and Hidden Cloud Ninjas.
The latter was very strong, and he should have had the experience of dealing with an Uchiha Ninja. When facing an Uchiha special superior Ninja, he quickly took advantage of the moment when he was unprepared and heavily injured him.
In this way, there was no doubt a loophole in the defence line.
Itachi saw this, and without any hesitation, he immediately went to block.
As for the remaining Hidden Cloud Ninjas, with the two of them, it was already enough to deal with them.
"Hehe! Another Uchiha and a little brat who is still wet behind the ears! I'll kill you with one punch!"
The powerful Hidden Cloud Ninja coldly smiled when he saw Might Guy. He activated Lightning Chakra Mode, and with speed far faster than that of an ordinary Jonin, he threw a heavy punch at his head.
However, what surprised him was that his punch was actually missed.
Not only that, in the next exchange of blows, his attacks were all neutralized one by one, and as he fought, he was at a slight disadvantage.
"How is this possible? It's just a little brat!"
The Hidden Cloud Ninja looked at all of this in disbelief.
However, the truth was right in front of his eyes.
Very quickly, determination flashed in his eyes. He ignored the damaged gap in his body and activated the Thunder Escape.
Right now, the situation was urgent, and every second of delay would increase the casualties of the Cloud Ninjas.
He had to get rid of Tsunade as soon as possible!
For this, he had to pay a price!
During the piercing pain all over his body, the Hidden Cloud Ninja forcefully stimulated his potential. After the battle, he even had serious sequelae, so his next punch finally hit!
