The stars are dim, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and light rain falls in the wind.
In the mountains and forests at the junction of the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Rain.
Kato was lying on the ground with his eyes broken, and there was a huge wound in his lower abdomen, and blood was pouring out.
"Cheer up and stop!"
Tsunade used her palm senjutsu with all her strength, continuously outputting Yang Era Chakra.
"Tsunade, I don't want to die yet. I haven't...realized my dream of becoming Hokage...ahem..." As he spoke, blood overflowed from the corner of Kato Dan's mouth again. His eyes gradually lost focus.
"Beg! Hold on! I will save you! Stop talking..." Tsunade continued to increase the output of chakra, but the blood still continued to flow out.
"I can't...can't die in a place like this..." Kato Dan said with difficulty. If he didn't say some words, he would have no chance.
"The bleeding has stopped, Zang, you will be fine soon." Tsunade turned away, not daring to look at Kato Zan's face.
"Really? That's great, Tsunade. In fact, I...have been treating you...to you..." Kato Dan felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and the massive blood loss made him His consciousness was blurred, rain fell into his eyes, and his eyelids seemed to be stuck by the rain, making him unable to take one last look at the world, and he fell into boundless darkness.
"Break-!"
Facing Zang who had stopped breathing, Tsunade was so confused that she could barely maintain the medical ninjutsu, but she still did not stop the output of chakra.
"Stop it!"
The Jonin who was walking beside him couldn't stand it any longer and shouted to Tsunade: "That's enough! He's already dead!"
Tsunade shuddered suddenly and her whole body froze.
Rumble~
There was a burst of thunder in the sky. In an instant, the raindrops formed a line and fell continuously, hitting Tsunade's dazed face. She looked at the blood stains on her hands, dripping quickly under the wash of the rain, and then gathered in front of her. It became a small stream made of blood, and finally it all seeped into the ground.
Tsunade has already noticed Kato Dan's feelings, but she only wants to develop the art of rebirth of severed limbs as soon as possible and has no thoughts on relationships. However, she also regards Kato Dan as a friend.
"Tsunade, I don't know if the enemy will appear again. We have to leave quickly and bring the information back to the village as soon as possible. We can't let Duan's sacrifice be in vain!"
The Jonin on the side looked at Tsunade in a daze, and quickly sealed Kato Dan's body with a scroll.
This time, they were a group of six jounin and were ordered to go on a mission to Iwagakure Village.
After being received by Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, and finalizing the articles of alliance between Iwagakure and Konoha, all he had to do was return to Konoha and wait for confirmation from the top management to officially complete the alliance.
However, no one expected that they were attacked by two groups of people on the way.
The first group of enemies exceeded ten ninjas, but they escaped with minor injuries without losing their numbers.
There is only one enemy in the second wave, but he is very powerful.
During the battle, Tsunade was in danger. In order to save her, Kato Dan was forced to use the spiritual technique. However, because her body could not move when using the forbidden technique, the enemy punched her through the abdomen and even the kidneys were knocked out.
The other two Jonin also paid the price with their lives, temporarily repelling the enemy.
The identity of the enemy is unknown. Regardless of whether Iwagakure is betraying his promise or not, he must return to the village immediately.
Tsunade tightened her hands so hard that her nails pierced her palms, forcing herself to calm down with the pain.
The group of three people quickly left the forest.
The rain was still falling, and the leaves and bushes kept making pattering sounds under the beating of raindrops. As the rain became heavier and heavier, the traces of the three people gradually disappeared.
...
The land of grass.
In the mountains and forests about ten miles away from Cao Ninja Village.
A young man wearing a black slim-fitting ninja uniform appeared here, it was Bai Yu.
Despite the news of a truce and alliance, the ninjas on the front lines still did not relax their vigilance.
After all, in history, except for Konoha, all the major ninja villages have betrayed their alliance.
Without receiving precise orders from the village's top brass, the front line was still on alert.
Bai Yu's feet didn't touch the ground for most of the time.
The injuries of the injured ninjas on the front line are basically stable, and some of the injured have been sent back to Konoha for recuperation.
After he was free, Bai Yu asked Orochimaru for orders to go out on patrol.
As for the location, he chose the Country of Grass.
Because there may be something Bai Yu wants here.
Bai Yu had been conducting experiments before, trying to find the key medicinal materials that could replace the missing "Dark Blue Potion".
There were three medicinal materials among them. Bai Yu spent a lot of money and asked the Nara clan to help find medicinal materials with similar medicinal properties.
The Nara clan is mainly responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the entire Konoha medical system. They have raised deer for Konoha for generations and continuously supply precious medicinal materials such as antlers. In addition, their family controls less than half of Konoha's medicinal materials business, surpassing Matsuno Masato in terms of connections and purchase channels. After all, the Uzumaki clan has been destroyed, and the previous relationship network has been broken.
Just some time ago, the Nara clan found two medicinal materials that Bai Yu needed, and the last one was said to be deep in the mountains of the Country of Grass.
It's just that as the war expanded, the jounin and chuunin of the Nara clan basically went to the front line, and for the time being they didn't have enough energy to help Bai Yu continue to search for the third medicinal ingredient.
After all, the medicinal materials Bai Yu was looking for only had descriptions of their medicinal properties and had no idea what they looked like.
There are many strange and weird medicinal materials in the ninja world. Some medicinal materials are only circulated in a specific small area because they have small uses and limited applicability, and are only known to local people. I don’t know that it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to search slowly, but the key may not necessarily meet the conditions.
Bai Yu took advantage of the patrol opportunity and went to the mountains and forests to search for it himself.
Before leaving the village, he prepared the semi-finished "Dark Blue Potion".
When you come to the mountains and forests of the Country of Grass, as long as you find medicinal materials with similar medicinal properties, you can conduct experiments on site.
The efficacy of semi-finished medicines expires very quickly. Bai Yu did this just to try out substitute medicines as soon as possible. In desperation, he could only waste hundreds of thousands of taels. Anyway, his failure alone cost more than a million taels.
Once the "Dark Blue Potion" is successfully produced, the benefits that can be obtained cannot be measured in terms of money.
"Dark Blue Potion" can not only assist the practice of meditation, but also be of great help to Kushina who practices the Knight Breathing Technique.
Bai Yu spent tens of millions of dollars on Kushina over the years.
But if money cannot be converted into strength in the extraordinary world, should it be saved to buy coffins?
In the future, if Kushina wants to take back the Fire City's industry from the top management of Konoha, if she doesn't have enough strength, she may just be wishful thinking.
Now Kushina is Bai Yu's pocketbook, and Bai Yu will be Kushina's strongest supporter in the future.
Bang!
Bai Yu poured the ground medicinal materials into the semi-finished medicine in the test tube, and a puff of black smoke suddenly rose.
Failed again!
There was the rustle of leaves at his feet, and a small white snake climbed up Bai Yu's calf and onto his shoulder.
Bai Yu put down the test tube and gently poked the little white snake's head with his finger.
At this time, the little white snake suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a roll of paper as thick as a thumb.
Bai Yu opened it and saw that Orochimaru asked him to return to the front line as soon as possible. Something big had happened.
"Hey -" Bai Yu sighed. After staying in the Country of Grass for almost a week, he still couldn't find suitable medicinal materials.
"Hiss~" The upper body of the little white snake suddenly contracted, spit out the snake letter, and made a defensive posture.
Bai Yu felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and immediately activated his "Sixth Sense". His passive perception ability was rapidly strengthened. At the same time, he also quickly used the "Five Senses Strengthening"
He took a deep breath, concentrated chakra on his right fist, and the breathing technique exploded.
boom!
Bai Yu punched a big hole in the ground, and his entire arm was embedded in the soil.
Then he whipped hard, the ground cracked, and a pale-skinned humanoid creature was pulled out by his neck.
