For a moment, a scene of hell unfolded before their eyes.
Being far away, the fortunate leader who hadn't been hit stared blankly at the scene.
His hands and feet were cold, his pupils constantly trembling.
Unconcealed horror and fear churned in his eyes.
Some Shinobi tried to save their companions, but after contact, they followed suit.
Falling to the ground, screaming and struggling.
Cries of "Save me!" were incessant.
"Don't touch them! It's poisonous!"
The remaining people dared not move rashly.
After everything subsided, more than ten fresh bodies were left behind.
This was more than half the number of people in this operation, including many elite Jonin.
The Kumogakure Shinobi leading the team felt a chill throughout his body, a coldness piercing to his very core.
His companions had died so bizarrely and easily, almost instantly.
It couldn't be said that this was carelessness; no one would have expected the enemy to launch an attack in such a way.
Setting booby traps with bodies on the battlefield was a common tactic, so there was no reason not to discover it.
But this kind was the first he had ever seen.
He could only say, he would definitely be careful next time.
"Aburame insects!!!"
Furious growls echoed impotently in the cave.
In the Leaf Hidden Village, it was another peaceful morning.
White Fang sat listlessly in his yard, slumped on the corridor floor.
The fifteenth day without a mission.
Including his time in the hospital, it had been half a month.
Perhaps he really was going to retire early.
Offending Hokage-sama, how could he expect a good outcome?
He had to find a way to make the Sandaime retire sooner.
Otherwise, life would be unbearable.
White Fang rolled over, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw an insect flying and landing in front of him.
It was a Insects.
Instantly, White Fang sat up straight, alert.
Something was up.
Not necessarily a good thing.
But having boarded the pirate ship, there was no turning back; he could only see it through to the end.
White Fang followed the guiding Insects.
At this moment, at the Senju Family's main residence.
Tsunade was still sleeping soundly, her head buried in the covers.
Outside the house, Miki arrived at Tsunade's room door unimpeded, raised her small foot, and kicked the door open.
Tsunade didn't wake up; she was in a deep sleep.
Home was a place of comfort, so there was no Shinobi's vigilance or defense whatsoever.
After all, who would dare to cause trouble in the Thousand Hand Clan?
Looking at Tsunade, who was covered by a blanket and curled into a ball, Miki folded her arms and looked down.
At the doorway, the Senju maid wanted to save her young lady but hesitated to step forward.
Sleeping so soundly.
So, she had to wake her up!
Squatting down, grabbing the blanket, Miki yanked it off.
Blinding morning sunlight streamed in through the window slats, stinging her eyes a little.
Tsunade rolled over, smacking her lips, as if dreaming of something delicious.
"What an enviable big heart, completely free of fatigue and stress, astonishing sleep quality."
Like a dead pig!
Miki stared at Tsunade.
I, on the other hand, am thinking and busy with all sorts of things every single day; she's practically an idiot.
So…
Who exactly is the future Fourth Hokage?
"But the easy days are over now, Princess Tsunade~"
Saying that, Miki went out and came back in with a basin of water.
Unable to use Water Release, she could only resort to this.
Miki mercilessly poured it over her head.
It wasn't boiling water.
But Tsunade screamed.
Thrashing her limbs, she twisted her body and groggily opened her eyes while shouting.
Seeing the puddle on the bedding beneath her, Tsunade couldn't help but rub her eyes.
Did I wet the bed?
No way…
Looking around guiltily, she saw Miki holding the basin.
Tsunade flinched in surprise; her recently activated brain was too slow to process, and she instinctively covered her lower half with both hands.
"You didn't pee." Seeing her reaction, Miki said, "I poured it."
Tsunade looked at Miki, blinking, and then yelled in shame and anger, "I'll kill you!!!"
"If you're awake, get up. Don't dawdle, there's something important." Miki said impatiently.
"Oh…" Tsunade got up.
In the sealed space, the Nine-Tailed, who was baring its fangs at Miki and preparing to transfer Chakra to Tsunade, looked at Tsunade in confusion.
You're not right!
While taking off her clothes, Tsunade continued to make threats.
"If there's a next time! I'll really kill you!!!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Saying that, Miki walked out of the room. What was so interesting about a flat chest anyway?
