Chapter 36 Hemophobia Outbreak, Situation Suddenly Changes
"Ah...how could this be? I only used two ninjutsu..."
Suddenly, Amai, one of the Cloud Ninjas who was attacking from the side, cried out and stopped. His chest had bulged with insect-shaped swellings, clearly indicating that he had also been parasitized by the Exploding Insects.
This scene immediately drew everyone's attention, and their expressions turned serious.
"The thing I least wanted to see has still happened!" Kakashi sighed deeply. It was precisely because of this threat that he hadn't made a move, preparing to seize an opportunity to defeat his enemy in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly…
"Now!" Seeing Amai forced to withdraw from the battle, the leader of the Xuanyuan Clan immediately charged straight at Tsunade.
"Don't underestimate me." Seeing the leaders of the Xuanyuan Clan attacking, Tsunade shouted and subconsciously prepared to unleash her monstrous strength.
But just as she was about to throw a punch, she suddenly realized that she might be attacked by the parasitic bursting insects and hurriedly restrained her chakra.
With a loud bang, the monstrous fist, now with more than half of its chakra depleted, collided with the fists of the Xuanyuan Clan leaders!
"Hmph, do you know why I didn't turn into smoke to dodge?" Taking a punch from Tsunade head-on, the leader of the Xuanyuan Clan transformed his fist into a claw, restraining Tsunade's right fist and grinning maliciously. "Because, this way I can catch you."
Before Tsunade could answer, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Xuanyuan Clan Leader, who drew a kunai with his left hand and stabbed it fiercely into Tsunade's chest.
Only by killing this medical ninja as soon as possible can the tide of battle be turned instantly.
"Damn it!" Ishikawa, who was paying close attention to the battle, suddenly changed his expression and rushed forward without hesitation, unleashing his chakra.
However, no matter how fast Ishikawa was, he couldn't keep up with the speed of the opponent's burst. Furthermore, the Raikage and Kakashi were entangled by the other members of the Xuanyuan Clan and could not be rescued in time.
At this critical moment, "Painful Heavenly Kick..."
Seeing that it was unavoidable, Tsunade's beautiful eyes flashed with anger, and without hesitation, she raised her foot and unleashed a burst of power!
With a deafening boom, in the blink of an eye, a violent, monstrous force, carried by the jade foot, slammed heavily into the stunned leader of the Xuanyuan Clan, who had only managed to turn his legs into smoke.
"You, you've been tricked! But I didn't expect I wouldn't have time to completely turn into smoke and dodge. Ugh..." The leader of the Xuanyuan Clan stared at Tsunade's bulging belly, his clothes showing a mixture of pride and pain. The massive bleeding inside his body caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood and fly backward at the end of his sentence.
"Damn it..." Tsunade touched the worm-shaped lump in her lower abdomen. She had just opened her mouth to shout angrily when the blood that floated in front of her stimulated her pupils to widen. Her body trembled involuntarily and she collapsed to the ground, utterly disoriented.
[Is this... Lady Tsunade's hemophobia?]
【Oh no, why is this happening again!】
Instantly, Kakashi and Ishikawa, witnessing this scene, sensed something was wrong. What made their scalps tingle even more was that Tsunade had also been infected by the exploding insects.
This is a huge problem...
"Lady Tsunade." Ishikawa, who had already rushed halfway, immediately accelerated and quickly picked up Tsunade around the waist, returning to Shizune's side.
"Blood? Tsunade, a medical ninja, is afraid of blood? What about our previous deal? How could she treat our Exploding Insects?" Almost simultaneously, the Raikage's expression changed drastically, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"This is troublesome. The Raikage might not trust us anymore." With a whoosh, Kakashi flashed back to Ishikawa's side, his expression grave.
Kakashi quickly analyzed the situation and made a decision. "Shizune, you take Ishikawa and the others to escort Tsunade back. Try to heal Tsunade and yourselves. I suspect that everyone is probably infected by the Exploding Insects."
As he spoke, Kakashi took out two scrolls and handed them to Ishikawa; they were the Lightning Release Armor and the sealing scroll for 300,000 ryo.
This is clearly a do-or-die situation!
"No, I refuse." Ishikawa refused again without hesitation, for the same reason as before. Although the Raikage and Kakashi were holding off the enemy this time, preventing them from facing certain death, he still didn't want to give up Kakashi, give up the 500 million bounty, or give up on befriending Tsunade.
Kakashi was about to reprimand them when he saw the Xuanyuan Clan members closing in, unleashing attacks like 'Fire Release: Flamingo' and 'Water Release: Grappling Bullets'...
The two simultaneously formed hand seals and launched a surprise ninjutsu attack. Their purpose was obvious: to force Kakashi to use ninjutsu to create an opportunity for the Exploding Insects to absorb chakra and grow stronger.
"Earth Release: Earth..." Seeing several firebirds and dozens of water bullets coming fiercely, Kakashi didn't have time to say anything and immediately formed hand seals to unleash Earth Release to block them.
Just as he was risking to form the hand seals, Ishikawa suddenly interrupted him with his elbow. Kakashi was about to question him when he saw Ishikawa finish the hand seals and slap the ground with both hands.
"Could it be...?" Kakashi's expression changed when he saw Ishikawa's familiar handprint.
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall..."
Under the astonished gazes of Kakashi and his two underlings, Ishikawa opened his mouth and gave a low shout, and a thick earthen wall carved with a dog's head instantly rose from the ground!
"Puff puff puff... Boom..."
Almost the instant the earthen wall appeared, the opponent's ninjutsu attacks rained down on it, causing tremors.
"Earth Release: Earth Wall? You've already mastered this Rank B Earth Release technique!!" Kakashi blurted out in surprise.
"Rank B Earth Release? Isn't it Rank C Earth Release??" Ishikawa feigned surprise upon hearing this, looking at Kakashi with a blank expression, making Kakashi feel embarrassed.
"Ahem... Now is not the time to talk about this. You guys should hurry up and leave." Kakashi touched his nose and smiled sheepishly, urging them again.
However, deep down, he was once again convinced of Ishikawa's talent. This guy was definitely a genius ninja whose potential had been wasted! Such an outstanding student absolutely could not die here.
"Teacher, haven't you noticed yet?" Ishikawa didn't respond, but instead pointed to his chest.
"Huh? How could this be??" Seeing Ishikawa's actions, Kakashi's Sharingan flashed, revealing surprise and doubt.
Even though Ishikawa also unleashed his chakra and used ninjutsu, why did the number of exploding bugs on his body only increase slightly? It was negligible, and he had to be very careful to find the location of the exploding bug.
Seeing this astonishing scene, Kakashi immediately looked at Tarojiro beside him. Under the scrutiny of his Sharingan, the barely perceptible exploding insects within the two were even more outrageous! Not only did they show no signs of chakra absorption, but they were also almost impossible for him to detect.
"Just as I thought." Seeing the change in Kakashi's expression, Ishikawa smiled, and his worries were greatly relieved.
The moment he saw the Cloud Ninja and Tsunade's exploding insects appear, he touched his chest to check, but it was still flat and there was nothing wrong with it! With the Earth Flow Wall experiment just now, he can now be completely certain of one thing.
"Teacher, it seems this insect has a certain requirement for chakra to mature. Our chakra alone is not enough to make it grow to the point of exploding quickly! So, now only the three of us can help you." Exhaling a breath of stale air, Ishikawa faced Kakashi's Sharingan with a wry smile.
It's ironic that they were fortunate enough to have their growth of the Bursting Insects slowed down because they had too little chakra. I don't know if this is ironic or just lucky.
"But that's not enough! Even if you don't have to worry about self-destruction for now, the difference in strength is still too great. Fighting them, you will likely—no, you definitely will die!!" Kakashi shook his head, his gaze fixed intently on Ishikawa and the other two. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Upon hearing this, the three men from Ishikawa trembled simultaneously, their faces turning ashen and their eyes filled with fear...
