Chapter 23 The gambler with nothing and his last hope
The news that Orochimaru led his team to raid the Sagiri Camp was destined to be impossible to hide, even if the Sagiri Nakiri was scattered in the Rain Kingdom and other Sagiri Nakiri who were chasing Tsunade and Kato's Palaxia.
Even if you don’t have to think about it, you can guess how big the news will bring to these Sand Hidden Ninja.
This impact instantly caused the Sakai Shangnin to fall into division.
In fact, it is not true to say that splitting is not true.
Because except for the general Palaxia, all the other Shangnin had only one idea after hearing this news - to escape.
Escape from the Land of Rain immediately and escape from Konoha's possible siege.
If they have lost many middle and lower ninjas and logistics supplies, they will have the risk of staying in the Rain Country for a moment.
Especially for several puppet masters, who used puppets to fight, their requirements for supply were much higher than that of other puppets.
Therefore, at the moment when he heard the news, the fifteen alive Saguchi-shin immediately made the decision to evacuate, only Palasha, who firmly opposed it.
After the other Shangren fled back to the village, he could turn the blame on him, the general and the initiator of the plan, but he had no way out.
Saying such a major failure requires a target for everyone to vent their anger and fear, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable one.
Therefore, unless he can return to Satsuki with Tsunade or Tsunade's corpse and barely make up for the mistakes, even if he can escape back to Satsuki, he will be killed in another place.
So, after a brief and fierce quarrel, the other fifteen Sagihiko Nashinobu immediately turned around and ran away in the direction of Kawano Country, leaving only Parasha, who was like a gambler who had lost everything, stared at Tsunade's bargaining chip that could finally make him turn the profit.
"Tsunade, give up, you have no chance. Orochimaru has abandoned you for the sake of his own contribution to defeating our Sakai. If you don't want to watch Kato die in front of you, give up and surrender as soon as possible."
Although Palasha had completely red eyes in order to make up for the big mistake he made, he had not completely lost his mind. On the contrary, he felt that he had never been as calm as he is now.
Therefore, when Tsunade was carrying Kato Jun on his back and his speed was greatly affected, he did not pounce on him immediately. Instead, he was like a lonely wolf with extremely patientness, constantly placing himself behind him, constantly striking Tsunade's morale with words, and at the same time, he kept using Kato Jun to stimulate Tsunade, intending to make Tsunade lose his mind, and even chose to surrender to save Kato Jun.
"I admit that Orochimaru did a great job this time, and he did pinch my fatal hole. Countless Sandun-Kun fell into his hands and became a prisoner.
But Tsunade, because of this, this is the best chance for you to save Kato.
Your medical ninjutsu is powerful, I believe that as long as you stop treating Kato, you will definitely be able to cure him.
So, why don’t you stop? Even if it falls into my hands, I just use you and Kato to exchange for the Sand Ninjas that fall into Orochimaru’s hands.
It would be a very cost-effective deal to exchange their lives for Kato Duo’s life.”
Palasha kept persuading Tsunade to stop escaping and surrender to him.
But at the same time, he was ready.
Just waiting for Kato to die completely, Tsunade lost this drag and was about to escape at full speed or turn back to fight her life, and completely end Tsunade's life in the most powerful posture.
Tsunade, who was running with all his might, squeezed every cell in his body, hoping to squeeze out more chakra,
From last night to now, she has been getting time for nearly a day and a night, and she has almost never rested. She has fought three breakthrough battles with more than a dozen Sashimi Shangnin who are chasing her, and has never been as tired as she is now.
But compared to physical fatigue, her heart was even more painful.
The life and death of my younger brother Shengshu is uncertain. The three ninjas who left the camp with her to search for the traces of Shengshu. The Angry Ma Qing died tragically. The moonlight and wind broke through to seek help. There is no news yet. I am afraid that it is already in danger.
And now, even Kato's last companion seemed to be dying on her back.
All of this is blamed on her.
If she hadn't felt that the war was about to end, she agreed to let Ropeshu leave the village and come to the Land of Rain, Ropeshu would not have been ambushed by sand and its whereabouts were unknown.
If she hadn't insisted on leaving the camp to search for it personally, she wouldn't have fallen into Parasha's plan and was ambushed by the Sha Yin Shangren, and raided it to this point.
The only thing that could make her feel a little relieved was that Orochimaru seemed to take advantage of this opportunity of the Sagiri-Kannin ambushing her, raided the Sagiri camp, won a complete victory, and finally won the war.
Since that's the case, let's make a last contribution to the village.
Feeling the breathing behind him that was almost unaudible, Tsunade's brows, which had been frowning because of anxiety, finally stretched out for the first time, with determination in her eyes.
"elder sister."
But just as Tsunade was about to stop escaping, put down Kato Duan, and fought for the final life and death with Parasha in order to die with him, a familiar but not very real voice came to her ears.
‘It seems that this is really my bone burial place.’
Tsunade's mouth shook slightly.
‘I actually had auditory hallucinations.’
"elder sister."
Just as Tsunade thought that her sister was her auditory hallucination, her tone, which was more urgent than before, sounded in her ears again.
"Here, I'm here, come here!"
Tsunade, who finally realized that she was not an auditory hallucination, looked tight and followed the sound. The short and thin figure that had been obsessed with for a long time actually caught her eyes.
But when the surprise climbed onto her face, the emotions of worry, fear, and eagerness had already filled her eyes.
"Ha ha!"
Just when she wanted to use her body as bait to attract the attention of Palaxia behind her to bypass the place and avoid the rope tree being discovered by Palaxia, behind her, Palaxia's crazy laughter was already ringing.
"I didn't expect that the last bloodline of the Thousand Hand Clan that I had never found before was here! Tsunade, this time it's really thanks to you! Hahaha, then I'm not polite this time."
Unexpectedly, Palasha, who was in a state of happiness, finally stopped hiding at all and immediately accelerated to the rope tree hiding under the canopy of the umbrella tree.
He could see clearly that compared to Kato's broken, as long as he could capture the rope tree alive, Tsunade would definitely surrender.
With the weight of the last two tribes of the Chiaju family, I am afraid that this time, Satsuki will not only not suffer in the negotiations with Konoha, but will also firmly gain the upper hand.
He captured the two of them alive, not only could he make up for his merits, but he might even go further!
