Chapter 338 Goodbye Luo Sha! The despair of being alone in the Pure Land!
The Land of Rain, Sunagakure Camp.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~~~
The moment countless tiny whooshing sounds echoed, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally understood what Orochimaru meant by 'time'.
Gazing at the swarming figures rushing from afar, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes ultimately settled on the two men leading them.
"Third Kazekage!"
"And… Rasa?"
"It's Lord Kazekage! Lord Kazekage has arrived… Now Mei Zhi Hang, that bastard, is definitely dead!"
Seeing the Third Kazekage's arrival, the Sunagakure Ninja's morale instantly soared… One by one, they rallied their spirits, encircling Fujiwara Tetsuya and Orochimaru tightly in the center.
"Orochimaru~"
Amidst the crowd, the Third Kazekage stepped forward… but when he looked at Orochimaru, his expression was somewhat grim.
His proud attack had become a tool for the enemy to escape… Such a thing, let alone happening to a Kage of a village, would make anyone feel suffocated with depression.
"Orochimaru-senpai, it seems… we need to prepare to retreat."
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Third Kazekage, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt a slight headache.
Since the start of the Second Great Ninja War, he had experienced quite a few high-level battles… the Zero-Tails, Hanzo, Kakuzu, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the Third Raikage, Ebizo… and now Chiyo and the Third Kazekage.
Let alone him, even any Kage-level Ninja would begin to question their life.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya… We finally meet again."
In this heavy silence, Rasa, with an eager expression, rushed to the forefront… breaking the eerie atmosphere first.
This day he had longed for had finally arrived… "This aura… Quasi-Kage?"
"Rasa, long time no see. It seems… you haven't neglected your training during this time."
"However, compared to me, you're still a tiny bit short."
As he responded, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze swept past Rasa, the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, and others, landing on several Sunagakure Ninja in the back.
Because, these several Sunagakure Ninja had, at some point, brought Fujiwara Tomomi and the other three to this battlefield.
"Wuwu~ Big Brother Tetsuya…"
The moment her eyes met Fujiwara Tetsuya's, Fujiwara Tomomi could no longer contain her inner fear and burst into tears.
Humans… are, after all, gregarious creatures.
After Fujiwara Aiko, Uesugi Mako, and Tanaka Miyako were rescued… the immense pressure Fujiwara Tomomi had endured deep down was imaginable.
"Tomomi… don't be afraid!"
"Big Brother Tetsuya is coming to save you right now…"
"Tetsuya-kun, calm down!"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya raised his sword, intending to charge forward, Orochimaru's slender hand tightly gripped Fujiwara Tetsuya's right hand.
No matter how Fujiwara Tetsuya struggled, he couldn't break free from Orochimaru's grasp.
"Orochimaru… let go of me!"
"Tetsuya-kun! Calm down, now is not the time for impulsiveness."
"Have you forgotten those kids in Ryūchi Cave?"
"If you die here, Fujiwara Aiko, Tanaka Miyako, and Uesugi Mako will truly have no hope of survival…"
It must be said, Orochimaru's words… were like sharp knives, piercing Fujiwara Tetsuya's heart.
On one side were his clan members, and on the other side were also his clan members… The only difference, however, was that there was only one on the left, but three on the right.
"I…"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya? Are you that Konoha brat praised by Hanzo and who fought Ebizo to a draw?"
At this moment, the Third Kazekage also reacted, and with a gesture… those several Sunagakure Ninja escorted Fujiwara Tomomi quickly to the side of the Third Kazekage and Chiyo.
"Fujiwara Tomomi! This kid, she must be your clan member, right?"
Under the Third Kazekage's gradually calm expression, Fujiwara Tomomi was seized by the neck by the Third Kazekage and lifted high.
That power was an abyss that Fujiwara Tomomi, no matter how desperately she struggled, could not break free from.
"Let her go…"
"If any harm comes to her! I promise… I will inflict a hundredfold, a thousandfold of this pain upon the ordinary Ninja of your Hidden Sand Village…"
Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's icy voice, neither Chiyo nor the Third Kazekage showed any change in expression.
However, the serious expressions of the many Sunagakure Ninja surrounding them gradually showed some loosening.
After the previous battle, many Sunagakure Ninja had already fully experienced Fujiwara Tetsuya's terrifying strength.
Once Fujiwara Tetsuya abandoned the 'dignity' of a strong person and attacked their juniors, clan members, or subordinates… that would definitely be an extremely despairing situation.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Foolish brat, do you think… you can still escape?"
"Today, not only will you die here, but Orochimaru, Tsunade… and those Konoha Jonin, Elite Jonin, not one of them will leave this camp alive."
"Tet… Big Brother Tetsuya, don't mind me… run! Run…"
"Please tell Mother that I… I disappointed her, I didn't become a powerful Ninja like Sister Ryoui and Sister Mikoto…"
"I can no longer accompany you… to revitalize the Fujiwara Clan."
"Ptooey~"
Along with Fujiwara Tomomi's farewell, amidst the furious gazes of countless Sunagakure Ninja, Fujiwara Tomomi spat on the Third Kazekage's face.
This also caused the Third Kazekage's relatively calm expression to quickly darken.
"Brat… you're asking for death!"
"Tomomi…"
In a terrifying tremor, Fujiwara Tomomi was slammed directly into the ice below by the Third Kazekage.
At an angle no one noticed, the Three Tomoe in Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes quietly appeared, spinning wildly… subtly showing a trend towards evolving to a higher level.
"Tetsuya-kun… calm down!"
"You should have felt Tomomi's resolve… don't easily betray her strength!"
As he whispered, Orochimaru's gaze towards the Third Kazekage also became incredibly cold.
Power! Power!
Ultimately, the reason for this situation, which forced them to merely watch… to stand by idly, was still due to the disparity in power.
If he possessed absolutely formidable power, no matter how strong the Third Kazekage was, what would it matter?
"Danzo…"
As his thoughts turned, Orochimaru suddenly thought of Danzo.
"Cough~ Big Brother Tetsuya, I… I hurt so much! I really hurt so much~"
"Big Brother Tetsuya, I'm so scared… Do you think if I go to the Pure Land, I'll be able to see Father? Will I be able to see Kazuharu, Ako, Harukazu, Suzune, and them?"
"Tomomi… no, no!"
Seeing Fujiwara Tomomi struggle to her feet, quietly pointing a broken katana at her own heart.
Fujiwara Tetsuya felt his vision dim, his body went limp… the katana in his hand slid straight to the ground.
"Big Brother Tetsuya… I'm so afraid of the dark!"
"It's just a pity that I won't be able to see the day you revitalize the clan…"
Pfft~
Amidst countless gazes of shock, awe, and pity, Fujiwara Tomomi plunged the cold katana inch by inch into her own heart… then fell backward onto the cold ice, completely losing her breath.
"Third Kazekage…"
In an instant, the entire Sunagakure Camp echoed with Fujiwara Tetsuya's maddened roar… Under the gaze of many Konoha Ninja, countless tiny black mists… gradually enveloped Fujiwara Tetsuya.
