Chapter 143: Seven Ninja Swordsmen vs. Tsunade
After making a provocative remark, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost saw that the Explosion Style Ninja Hunter didn't say a word, so he didn't say anything more and directly called out to the other six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen:
"The hunt has begun. Let's compete to see who can kill the Fifth Hokage first!"

"Hey, the Fifth Hokage's head is mine!"

"Tsunade-sama? A medical ninja can become the Hokage of Konoha. Konoha really has no one left!"

Several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen laughed loudly and rushed directly into the town.

An Iwagakure frowned, walked behind Shou, and said in a low voice:
"Sir... is this really okay? Those Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be alerted!"

Shou sneered and shook his head:

"You underestimate the Seven Ninja Swordsmen! They are not such simple people!"

"Can they really kill the Fifth Hokage?"

The Iwa Ninja looked surprised, even a little bit unbelieving.

Although each of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are elite jonin, and there are even rumors that the seven of them can kill a Kage-level ninja together, other ninjas regard this as bragging - because the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have never had any impressive battle records!

In the original work, the Seven were kicked into the Three Lucky Treasures by the perennial Genin Might Day as soon as they appeared. In this timeline, they did not encounter the desperate green kappa, but were still stopped by Jiraiya alone on the coastline, and lost more than they won in several battles.

"No... I mean, these guys are just playing us! They just look cruel, but they actually know what's going on!"

Shou rolled his eyes and said to his men:
"Although Tsunade is a medical ninja, she was able to become one of the three ninjas, so her strength cannot be weaker than Jiraiya and Orochimaru! Not to mention that according to the intelligence, she actually performed Wood Release!"

"The mission that Lord Tsuchikage gave me was just to test Gou's strength through this attack to see if she has truly awakened her Wood Release Bloodline Genkai. Do you think the Mizukage of the Mist Ninja will give the Seven Ninja Swordsmen a request to kill Tsunade and her Shadow Guards?"

"It's likely that their mission is the same as ours, just a test... So this group of people are going to launch an attack directly in the town. This way, if they find that the situation is not good, it will be easier for them to escape!"

There are many residents in the town, and Tsunade is the Hokage of the Land of Fire after all, so she will definitely care a little more. In this case, the possibility of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen escaping will naturally increase greatly.

"Uh…then why do we have to wait until the Hokage leaves town before we do anything?"

The Iwa Ninja asked in a low voice, and Shou shook his head:
"After all, we are different from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen... The ninjas of the Mist Ninja pursue an elite strategy. In the beginning, the Blood Mist Policy even required one to kill their companions to become a ninja."

"That's why, although the Mist Ninjas don't have any coordination skills, they are extremely outstanding in terms of individual combat capabilities. Plus, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are all elite jonin. As long as they escape Tsunade's pursuit, Konoha will be unable to do anything to them."

There is no need to say much about the rest of the hunters. The style of the Rock Ninja is exactly the opposite of that of the Mist Ninja. They are good at group combat.

The dozen or so blasting ninjas under his command could pose a threat to the Kage level if they joined forces. If they were separated, they would all be considered special jonin with defects and it would be impossible for them to split up and escape.

So even if Tsunade didn't chase them, it would be difficult for this kind of ninja army to escape. If the pursuit of the Konoha large army was just to test the Hokage, Tsunade might not have made a big move.

But if heavy losses were caused to the Fire Country, Konoha Ninjas would be mobilized in full force, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen would basically be able to escape back, but his own demolition troops would probably be wiped out in the Fire Country!
"What if the other party attacks Tsunade directly in the town..."

"If they really dare to do such a stupid thing, then it would be great. We will just watch the fight from afar. If there is a chance, we will directly attack Tsunade. If there is no chance or Tsunade shows her Wood Release ability, then we will just leave... At worst, we can say that we came to the Land of Fire to carry out a mission!"

"Uh... We're coming to the Fire Nation to carry out a mission? There's no way they'll believe that! We're a demolition troop!"

What mission can a group of experts in explosions carry out in the Fire Nation? Are they going to demolish a city in the Fire Nation?
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. This is just a step. After all, the other party is the Hokage. His every move is watched by others. You have to pay attention to your influence."

"As long as there is such a step, and we don't take the initiative to attack the other party, then as long as this Hokage does not want to completely fall out with the Iwagakure and continue the war, the most he can do is to expel us from the country."

"As expected of Lord Shou, your plan is so thorough!"

After listening to Kari's explanation, a group of Iwagakure ninjas suddenly realized that a ninja who could carry out such a mission was naturally not afraid of death, but who would want to die if they could stay alive?
On the other side, Biwa Juzo approached the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were advancing, and asked:
"The Iwagakure ninjas behind us are following us. Are we really not going to wait for them?"

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost turned his head and looked behind him, then spit out some saliva:
"These Iwagakure ninjas are cowards! It seems like they have other plans... Maybe if we really fight with that Hokage, they will sell us out!"

After hearing the answer from the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, Biwa Juzang's eyes flickered slightly and he spoke softly:
"Then what do you think we should do? If that Hokage really possesses the power of Wood Release, even with the protection of these people in the town, without the help of the Iwagakure, I'm afraid we will..."

If Tsunade still had the same strength as before, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen would not be too afraid of her, and they would even have absolute confidence that they could win the battle.

Although the Three Ninjas are famous in the world, Tsunade, who is the best at medical ninjutsu, is the weakest in frontal combat. She has always been in a situation where she is not good at attacking but is good at protecting herself.

If the Seven Ninja Swordsmen joined forces, not taking into account her hemophobia, they would definitely be able to defeat the original Tsunade. Of course... they certainly couldn't kill her. As the strongest medical ninja, Tsunade's ability to save her life is absolutely first-rate, not to mention her other skills.

But according to the information from various ninja villages, Tsunade used Wood Release Ninjutsu when fighting the Nine-Tails. In this era, it has been only 30 years since Hashirama Senju's death. Many older generation ninjas know how perverted Wood Release is!

Those who really know about Hashirama Senju know that it is Hashirama Senju who is perverted, not Wood Release. However, in the eyes of people from other ninja villages, Hashirama Senju is invincible in the world because of Wood Release, so they are naturally afraid of new Wood Release ninjas.

Considering the age of the ninjas of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, although they had never seen Hashirama Senju's prowess on the battlefield, they had at least heard from their elders how terrifying Wood Release was. It would be strange if they said they were not nervous at all.

Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost glanced at the other five members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen around him, and whispered to Biwa Juzo:

"Let them make the first move... If the situation gets bad, we'll retreat first!" "Anyway, there are summoning scrolls of other ninja swords in the village. It doesn't matter if people die, as long as the swords are still there!"

There are only seven people in the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but they are divided into several small factions, such as the ruthless duo whose minds are only focused on killing, the twisted Kurochu Raiga who wants to send people to their graves every day, and the grass-cutting Yabairen who uses a blunt knife to cut grass...

Well, except for Xiguashan Puffer Demon and Biwa Juzang who have some brains, the remaining five are the troubles left over from the Blood Mist Policy. They are executioners who are not only good at killing others, but also their own people.

So when faced with Xiguashan Puffer Demon's plan to use the other five members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen as cannon fodder, Biwa Juzo just nodded:
"Okay, I understand!"

As they spoke, Biwa Juuzou and Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost both fell behind a little.

If the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen had been a little more cautious and had a bit of brains, they might have been able to see through the tricks of these two people. Unfortunately, they were accustomed to the blood mist policy and had been completely brainwashed. They had the most murderous intent and lacked brains the most.

"Tsk, these guys are chasing us...are they rushing here to die?"

After walking out of the edge of the town, Uchiha Feiyu turned around and looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were rushing towards him like fleas, and sneered:
"Tsunade, I leave it to you! I want to live!"

"Don't worry, they are just a few Mist Ninjas."

Tsunade clenched her fists and a smile appeared on her face. After so many times of dual cultivation with Uchiha Feiyu, Tsunade's strength was no longer the same as before.

"I'm the first! Fifth Hokage, your head is mine!"

The wild bait man holding a blunt knife rushed forward. The blunt knife, which was more like an axe or a hammer than a double knife, chopped down directly at Tsunade.

Facing the blunt knife falling from the sky, Tsunade's reaction was just to sneer, clench her white fist, and then swing it and smash it up!

With a loud bang, the wild bait man felt as if his blunt knife had hit a steel mountain. The terrible force instantly bounced back, and with a crackling sound, his arm bones were almost broken, and the blunt knife that bounced back almost hit his head.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Togusa Noeito used the hammer in his other hand to block the blunt axe that was falling down, otherwise he would probably be the first of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to be killed by the weapon that bounced back.

Even so, this guy was still knocked away like a meteor by Tsunade's punch. With a bang, he crashed into the town wall and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Scary... Is this woman a Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were originally rushing forward stopped at the same time and looked at Tsunade with some fear. Tsunade looked at her white and tender fist and saw a small bloody cut on her fist caused by the blunt knife, but in the short time when she took her hand away, the cut had completely healed.

That is Tsunade's sage body that has begun to awaken. Perhaps it is still not as good as Hashirama Senju in his prime, but the gap is not too big.

"Be careful, this must be the woman's strange power! But no matter how strong she is, it's meaningless if she can't hit anyone!"

Kurochu Raiga, holding the thunder sword in his hand, shouted loudly, and lightning flashed on his body. The two swords he swung were like two lightning whips, and he swung them directly towards Tsunade.

Tsunade threw a punch, and the chakra wrapped around her fist directly dispersed the lightning whip. She snorted softly:
"You have such great strength that you can't hit anyone... Then just try to hide from me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stomped her foot on the ground. The whole ground began to tremble with a rumbling sound, and a hole of twenty to thirty meters was torn open.

Tsunade then grabbed the ground with both hands, and released her earth escape chakra, reinforcing the entire ground. She then looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and sneered:
"Hide for a while and see!"

Boom boom boom! With a terrifying loud noise, Tsunade directly lifted up a huge piece of land with a radius of 40 to 50 meters and smashed it towards the terrified faces of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!
"Muri Jinpachi!! Use your Exploding Sword!"

The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost opened his mouth and roared loudly, and the detonating talisman scroll on the Wu Li Jinbadao who was holding the explosive knife kept spinning, and he chopped down the ground that was falling over.

The ground, which was three or four meters thick, was blown into several pieces by hundreds of explosive tags with a loud rumbling sound. The flying stones made all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen retreat continuously. A few of them who retreated a little slower were hit on the head by the stones and were bleeding.

"Damn it... What level of supernatural power is this!! This woman is even more perverted than that premature gray-haired guy playing with the toad!"

A piece of land that is 40 to 50 meters wide may not sound like much, but in fact it is about the size of half a football field! This level of power is shocking and incredible even for a ninja!
Just as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were still complaining, suddenly a figure like a cannonball rushed out from the smoke and rubble and smashed directly towards Muri Shinpachi who was standing in the front.

Murishinpachi's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly raised the explosive knife in his hand to try to block the opponent's fist. Then there was a loud bang, and in a puff of smoke, Murishinpachi flew backwards, with blood spurting out of his mouth. The original explosive knife was smashed into a twisted arc, turned several times in the sky, and fell to the ground with a bang.

But at this moment, countless tiny, sharp wires were woven into a net, directly enveloping the figure in the smoke:
"Good chance, I caught her!"

Kurishan Kushimaru held the long sword and sewing needle in his hand, stretched out his hand and pulled it hard. The iron wire of the long sword and sewing needle was extremely sharp, no less than that of ordinary ninja swords. An ordinary person would be cut into pieces by the iron wire immediately after such a pull.

But after Kurishan Kushimaru stretched out his hand and pulled, he felt that the figure opposite him seemed to have taken root, and he was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and he could not pull the wires no matter what.

"Uh... not good, I think she might have caught me!"

Kurishan Kushimaru swallowed his saliva, and an extremely powerful force came from the long sword in his hand, which directly pulled him over.
