Chapter 40 Creation and Regeneration: Post-War Advice
"Sizzle... sizzle sizzle..."
Under the cover of night and the moonlight, Tsunade's forehead shone with a purple sealing technique, and her mangled abdomen rapidly healed at a visible speed, steaming and writhing.
"That's it!!" Seeing Tsunade break the seal and wisps of life-giving white smoke rise from her abdominal wound, Shizune's expression changed, a mixture of joy and worry.
"To stimulate cell regeneration with a massive amount of chakra in an instant! To rebuild and heal injuries through rapid cell division—is this the power of the Sannin?" Kakashi exclaimed, his left eye widening. "However, while this technique can quickly heal injuries and maintain strength, its drawbacks are also very obvious. Cell division has a limited number of times; doing this is undoubtedly consuming one's own lifespan!"
“You’re right, Kakashi.” Hearing this, Shizune nodded bitterly. “But in this situation, there’s no other way. I believe Lady Tsunade made this decision because she had no other choice.”
Kakashi tacitly agreed. "Indeed, compared to the uncertain future of life, surviving is the priority. Even if it costs us lifespan, it's a worthwhile trade."
In contrast to their joy, Xuanyuan and his companion were utterly devastated...
"What...what is this? Impossible! How can there be such terrifying regenerative power??"
"Run! Run! If you stay here, you'll die!"
Trembling with fear, Xuanyuan and his companion immediately turned tail and ran, ready to abandon the mission!
But Tsunade, already burning with rage and on the verge of exploding, wasn't about to let them have their way. If it weren't for them, how could she have been taken advantage of by a mere genin brat?!
"Painful Heavenly Foot..."
Without warning, Tsunade raised her right leg high and suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of energy.
With a loud bang, the ground split open, leaving a straight crack that swallowed the heavily injured leader of the Xuanyuan Clan.
At the same time, Gang didn't let up. He stomped his foot, causing the ground to crack, and instantly appeared beside another person. Under the person's terrified expression, he unleashed a powerful punch that exploded like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting!
"Click, click, click... Ahhhhh..."
All that was heard was a crisp sound of bones breaking, and then the man screamed as he was slammed into the woods and smashed into a tree trunk, his life hanging in the balance!
"Gulp..." Gazing at the large, S-shaped tree trunk and terrifying cracks in the distance, Ishikawa swallowed hard, sweat pouring down his face...
Oh my god! Tsunade isn't going to do that to him, is she? His little body can't take that kind of treatment.
Thinking of that terrifying force, Ishikawa quickly shuddered and dodged to Kakashi's side. "Sensei, are you alright?"
"Hypocritical, now you're scared??" Looking at Ishikawa's pale face and forced smile, Kakashi knew exactly what he was thinking. "Don't expect me to plead for you. I'm waiting for Lady Tsunade to come and save me!"
"No! Kakashi-sensei, I did all that to save everyone, you can't just stand by and watch us die (⊙o⊙) waaaah..."
"Pfft..." Hearing Ishikawa's pitiful cries, Shizune couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
How dare you be so arrogant and disrespectful to Lady Tsunade? Although the outcome was good, the fact that you took advantage of her is still unforgivable!
"Lady Tsunade, please perform surgery on Lord Raikage immediately. We will keep our promise and the previous conditions remain unchanged!" Amai shouted immediately after seeing Tsunade unleash her power to defeat the enemy.
The Raikage could explode at any moment; this must be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Tsunade, save Amai first!" the Fourth Raikage hurriedly called out. Although he knew that he should save himself first for the sake of the Cloud Village, he still chose to save his subordinate first.
"Lady Tsunade, please save Kakashi first. He's in grave danger too!" Just as Tsunade was racking her brains, Shizune's voice rang out from behind.
Immediately, Tsunade looked at the three human bombs that could explode at any moment and sighed helplessly, "It seems we have no choice but to act simultaneously!"
As she spoke, Tsunade casually wiped the still-wet bloodstains from her clothes at her abdomen, and quickly formed hand seals, "Summoning Jutsu..."
With a thud, a giant slug, the size of a house and entirely blue and white, appeared at Tsunade's feet. "Live slug, wrap them all up by the lower half and bring them over."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade." The giant slug immediately responded, its body rapidly splitting into seven smaller clones that rushed towards the group.
"Kakashi-sensei, what is this??" Ishikawa asked, feigning interest, as he stared intently at the slug clone charging towards him.
His two underlings beside him also looked curious and listened intently.
"Slug, this is Lady Tsunade's summoning beast. Lady Slug was once revered as one of the Three Fears..."
"Three fears??" Ishikawa feigned surprise but did not press the matter further.
Because his lower body was already enveloped by the slug's split body and was moving rapidly. The others were in a similar situation, and the group of seven was soon carried and merged into the giant slug's body, arriving on top of the slug's head.
“There’s no time for pre-operative preparations now, so I’ll have to use special methods to remove the Exploding Insects from your bodies.” Tsunade met their gazes, then formed hand seals again, her hands igniting with blue chakra scalpels. “Because you don’t have the same regenerative abilities as me, I’ll have slugs help heal your wounds later. Don’t resist.”
Without saying a word, Tsunade walked up to Kakashi and swiftly slashed him twice.
With a thud, Kakashi groaned as the worm inside him was removed. The instant the worm fell, Kakashi's body sank into the slug's body, leaving only his head exposed. With the slug's help, his wounds healed rapidly…
"Wow, what an amazing summoning beast! It even knows medical ninjutsu!!" Ishikawa feigned surprise upon seeing it for the first time, his desire for the slug instantly reaching its peak.
In this ninja world where swords clash and injuries can happen at any moment, having a medical summoning beast provides an unparalleled sense of security!
Moreover, slugs are not only skilled in healing, but also possess advantages such as splitting to transmit messages, attacking with concentrated acid, and being immune to physical attacks. Furthermore, they hold the heritage of Shikkotsu Forest, one of the three holy lands, which is incredibly tempting for Ishikawa.
"Hmph, you're so talkative." Tsunade snorted again when she heard Ishikawa speak, quickly removing the exploding insects from Amai with both hands, and then came to the Raikage.
"Uh? I almost forgot about this..." Just as the Raikage was hoping Tsunade would make a move, Tsunade seemed to suddenly remember something, her right hand releasing chakra and scalpels as she pulled out a blank IOU.
"To avoid you defaulting on your debt, write an IOU first! I don't trust the reputation of your Cloud Village at all."
"What? Tsunade, aren't you going too far?" Upon hearing such a blatant insult, the Raikage was immediately enraged.
Although the Cloud Village does have a history of breaking contracts, isn't it a public slap in the face to say it out loud now?
"Suit yourself, fair trade, no cheating!" Tsunade curled her lip indifferently. She was already being generous by not making the Raikage pay the consultation fee first, what more did he want?
"Lady Tsunade, how about we cut off the Exploding Insects first and not treat him? As long as the Raikage is kept alive, that's fine! We'll treat the Raikage whenever we pay."
Just as the Raikage was feeling indignant, Ishikawa spoke up again, instantly changing the atmosphere...
"You brat, how dare you..."
"Good suggestion, let's go with it!"
With two responses, the chakra scalpel swiftly removed the bursting insect.
