"Ding!"
"You were killed by Tsunade using ninjutsu, EXP +480!"
After resurrecting, Kairen was just about to make a move on Tsunade when a powerful kick sent him flying several hundred meters away.
In midair, all of Kairen's internal organs were crushed.
He immediately turned into white smoke and revived again.
As soon as he resurrected, Tsunade once again came charging at him like a raging female dragon.
Kairen rushed forward to meet her, only to be cut down by Tsunade once more with a Chakra Scalpel.
"You were killed by Tsunade using ninjutsu, EXP +460!"
Gradually, Kairen had already accumulated 4000 EXP from Tsunade. This was his biggest harvest to date and the most enjoyable experience since entering the ninja world.
That softness was far beyond anything his right hand could ever compare to.
Compared to fighting desperately to be killed, this kind of reckless self-destruction was absolutely Kairen's favorite.
After resurrecting again, his Byakugan suddenly noticed that countless Sunagakure shinobi had surrounded both him and Tsunade.
"Damn it, we've fought our way into the Sunagakure lines!"
Kairen froze for a moment, opened the Eight Gates, and used rapid Body Flicker to dodge Tsunade's brainless assault while keeping alert to his surroundings.
From among the Sunagakure ranks, Meimuda stepped forward, laughing loudly as he looked at the surrounded Kairen and Tsunade.
"Hahaha… to think I've managed to surround you two right at the start. Today must be my lucky day!"
Kairen brushed past Tsunade, losing an arm to her strike, and kept shouting to her:
"Tsunade! Tsunade! Wake up! We've crossed into enemy lines!"
"Kill! You!! Kill! You!!" Tsunade's eyes were scarlet, her mind completely lost, with only the thought of killing Kairen remaining.
"Attack!"
Meimuda didn't waste words. With a wave of his hand, countless Sunagakure shinobi surged forward like a massive swarm of army ants.
"Shu shu shu…"
Thousands of shuriken followed, raining down. There was no way Kairen could dodge them all—within the blink of an eye, he was pierced into a sieve.
"Ding!"
"You were killed by Sunagakure shinobi using a collective shuriken attack, EXP +300!"
After resurrecting, Kairen suddenly saw a shuriken embedded in Tsunade's arm, red blood flowing out.
Tsunade fell to her knees, the scarlet in her eyes fading, replaced by a dull, lifeless gaze.
"Blood… blood… blood…"
Meimuda noticed her condition.
"So Tsunade fears blood. No wonder she wasn't on the frontlines of the River Country battlefield. Turns out she has hemophobia!"
Another thousand shuriken came raining down from the sky, covering both Tsunade and Kairen.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Kairen formed hand seals and instantly released dozens of shadow clones, forming a human wall to shield Tsunade.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom…"
The sound of white smoke bursting filled the air as shuriken shot forth like cold vipers, piercing one clone after another, erasing them all in an instant.
Hundreds of shuriken still slipped through. Kairen spread his body over Tsunade, shielding her beneath him.
The shuriken pierced through his body, turning him into a hedgehog.
Collapsed over Tsunade, blood dripped from Kairen's mouth onto her. Having already exhausted his chakra creating shadow clones with forbidden techniques, he could no longer use Smoke Transformation Genjutsu.
His dimming eyes stared at Tsunade, whose gaze was still vacant.
The pale beauty instead radiated a fragile aura that stirred his instinct to protect.
"...Tsunade, you're truly beautiful…"
As his voice faded, Kairen's head fell. Tsunade's scattered gaze flickered for a moment, before dimming again.
"Ding!"
"You were killed by Sunagakure shinobi using a collective shuriken attack, EXP +280!"
After resurrecting, Kairen immediately opened the exchange interface. He couldn't escape from thousands of Sunagakure shinobi—not yet.
He needed the Fourth Gate: Wound Gate.
The Fourth Gate cost 2500 points. Tsunade had given him 4000, plus last night's 1700, and the 580 just now.
Kairen had more than enough EXP.
"Eight Gates Formation: Fourth Gate of Pain successfully exchanged!"
The Fourth Gate increased attack and speed further, but the body would start sustaining damage. This was when the Eight Gates truly entered the danger zone.
The body's energy burned rapidly—ordinary shinobi unable to finish the fight in an extremely short time would suffer unimaginable consequences.
But for Kairen, it was nothing more than a brief death and resurrection.
"Eight Gates Formation: First Gate, Gate of Opening—Open!"
"Second Gate, Gate of Rest—Open!"
"Third Gate, Gate of Life—Open!"
"Fourth… Gate of Pain—Open!"
In an instant, Kairen opened four gates. Blue chakra flames blazed fiercely around him, while waves of green energy surged upward like tides.
"Not enough fun yet? Add in Nine-Tails Chakra!"
In that moment, red chakra swayed like a giant serpent, its tail lashing, even manifesting physical attacks that swept down several Sunagakure shinobi.
Kairen brought his hands together, one in front, one behind.
"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
With the power of the Fourth Gate added to Nine-Tails Chakra, the chakra he unleashed now reached Kage-level.
"Boom boom boom boom boom…"
Shadow clones emerged from the white smoke one after another, spreading endlessly until they numbered around 1500—surpassing the Sunagakure shinobi themselves.
Meimuda's eyes widened in disbelief. "That many shadow clones? Impossible!"
"Brothers, you hold them off! I'll retreat first!"
Kairen scooped Tsunade into his arms and used Body Flicker to advance. But his chakra had been divided among his clones, leaving him winded and slow.
He could only hide within the mass of clones, following as they carved out a retreating path.
The 1500 clones instantly formed ranks. One clone, looking like their leader, even grabbed a red Soviet command flag.
He vibrated chakra through his throat to amplify his voice.
"First Artillery Corps! Katyusha rocket launchers, ready!"
Around 200 shadow clones at the front formed hand seals, their cheeks swelling with chakra.
The clone leader swung the flag down.
"Fire!"
"Shadow Clone Formation: Multi Fire Gun!!"
In an instant, 200 fireballs blasted forward. The 200 clones spent their chakra and disappeared.
The fireballs landed in the Sunagakure ranks, exploding in rapid succession.
"Wind Release…"
Several Sunagakure elite Jōnin unleashed Wind Release, blocking most of the flames.
The clone leader roared again.
"Second Dragon Fire Corps! Prepare Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Another 200 shadow clones stepped forward, forming the seals of the Great Dragon Fire Technique. Since it required more chakra, they grouped in tens.
The flag fell once again.
"Great Dragon Fire—launch!"
"Shadow Clone Formation: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
In an instant, flames roared as twenty giant dragon heads surged forth, bellowing as they rushed toward the Sunagakure shinobi.
The fiery dragons, cloaked in endless flames, scorched the battlefield red-hot.
