Chapter 357: Beyond the current situation! This is not called stealing, it is called borrowing! Second update!
"Seito… is he dead too?!"
After Fujiwara Tetsuya, Sakumo Hatake, and Uchiha Mikoto returned to the Land of Rivers camp, they learned everything that had happened during their absence from Kato Dan and Akimichi Torifu.
Fujiwara Tetsuya finally understood why that day… a perfectly fine tea cup had suddenly shattered, and why he had felt so empty inside.
Following Aburame Mokujin, another comrade and friend, with whom he had faced life and death, had left him.
"Dan-senpai… regarding Nawaki, have you sent someone to inform Senior Tsunade?"
Although the Medical Ninja at the camp had tried their best to stitch Senju Nawaki's abdomen back together.
Fujiwara Tetsuya could still discern some things from the remaining traces.
"Hmm, I've already sent someone to the Land of Rain. By now… Tsunade should have already learned of Nawaki's death in battle."
Looking at the downcast Kato Dan, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't know how to comfort him.
Because of Senju Seito, he, too, felt a knot in his heart… "Sakumo-senpai, I'm going to the Sunagakure Camp. Do you want to come along?"
"Tetsuya…"
"I'm not being reckless. I just want to probe how much fighting strength the current Sunagakure Camp still possesses."
"Sakumo-senpai, what do you think… if Senior Tsunade learns of what happened to Nawaki?"
"Given Senior Tsunade's personality, would she obediently stay in the Land of Rain?"
Hearing Fujiwara Tetsuya's question, Sakumo Hatake, along with Kato Dan, Akimichi Torifu, and others, paused, instantly understanding something.
"The answer is… definitely not."
"No matter how perilous the situation in the Land of Rain, she will disregard everything and rush to the Land of Rivers at the fastest possible speed."
"And given Senior Orochimaru's temperament, and his affection for Senior Tsunade and the brat Nawaki… not only will he not stop her, but he will also do his best to clean up the mess left behind after Senior Tsunade's departure."
"This idea is certainly good… but Senior Orochimaru's current strength… does not allow him to achieve that extent."
"What we need to do now… besides grieving, is to drive the Sunagakure main force, led by Ebizo, out of the Land of Rivers before the Land of Rain battlefield completely collapses, and then lead the Konoha Ninja army into the Land of Wind, forcing the Third Kazekage and Chiyo to withdraw their troops from the Land of Rain."
..."Brat Tetsuya, I didn't expect… your vision to have reached such a level?"
"It seems we really do need to make a big move."
With a light sigh, Sakumo Hatake patted Fujiwara Tetsuya's shoulder and walked out first.
No matter what, Konoha could not lose this war.
Otherwise, the accumulated hatred would only extend to the next generation… Looking towards the direction of the Sunagakure Camp, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Sakumo Hatake had no intention of concealing their presence.
Those terrifying Charka, like the scorching sun in the sky… instantly attracted the attention of the Sunagakure Ninja.
"Damn it! It's the White Fang and Mei Zhi Hang!"
"Those two monsters are back! Quick… quickly go call Lord Ebizo."
Piercing screams of terror instantly shattered the tranquility of the Sunagakure Camp… Looking at where Fujiwara Tetsuya and Sakumo Hatake had landed.
The hundreds of Sunagakure Ninja guarding the front line of the camp were filled with unease.
"Sakumo-senpai, do you want to go first? Or should I?"
"Uh… you go ahead. I'm not good at large-scale Ninjutsu."
Hearing Fujiwara Tetsuya's question, Sakumo Hatake belatedly reacted.
So, he was just here to accompany him, playing a supporting role?
"Then I won't be polite…"
Since he had already exposed his flying ability on the Land of Rain battlefield… there was no longer any need to conceal it.
After releasing Earth Release: Super Lightened Boulder Technique, Fujiwara Tetsuya, under Sakumo Hatake's envious gaze, slowly flew into the sky, treading on the mist.
He only stabilized himself when he reached a position level with the Sunagakure Camp, which was built halfway up the mountain.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya…"
Amidst Ebizo's suppressed growl, hundreds of Sunagakure Ninja appeared in front of the camp, carrying over a dozen giant crossbows.
These special Ninja tools were specifically developed by the Third Kazekage and Chiyo after Fujiwara Tetsuya exposed his flying ability, in order to… prevent the events of the Land of Rain camp from being repeated in the Land of Rivers camp.
"Ebizo… I've come for revenge."
Looking at Ebizo's shiny bald head, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt a deep aversion.
Hanzo, Danzo, Ebizo… none of these Old fellows with 'zo' in their names were good people.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya… you damned brat, don't be too arrogant."
"Do you really think this Old fellow has no way to deal with you?"
"Don't underestimate this Old fellow… and don't underestimate Hidden Sand Village."
Perceiving Fujiwara Tetsuya's disdain… and contempt, the anger in Ebizo's heart intensified.
Amidst his distorted roars, hundreds of sharp arrows, carrying a large number of explosive tags, continuously shot towards Fujiwara Tetsuya in mid-air.
"Foolish guys!"
"Do you take me for the trash from Kong Ninja Village?"
"Even the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand Shigure couldn't harm me… and you think these crudely made things can?"
The things researched by Hidden Sand Village were far from as useless as Fujiwara Tetsuya claimed.
Facing round after round of arrows mixed with explosive tags, even an ordinary Quasi-Kage level expert would probably find it troublesome.
With a large amount of cold air gushing out, a semi-oval ice crystal barrier quickly condensed in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya, exempting him from all of Sunagakure's long-range attacks.
"Although, compared to iron sand and gold sand, the hardness of ice is more than just a little inferior…"
"However, this level of defense is sufficient to deal with the current situation."
"If the Third Kazekage and Rasa knew… that the inspiration for this technique of mine came from them, they would probably be so angry they'd spit blood."
Listening to the continuous explosions at the edge of his ears, Fujiwara Tetsuya manipulated kirimaru to ascend another hundred meters into the sky.
"Ebizo, now it's my turn…"
In a low voice, the ice crystal barrier in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly split into countless ice cones of varying sizes, which, under the control of Fujiwara Tetsuya's hands, pointed directly at the Sunagakure Camp.
"Seito, let this feast today be your send-off."
"Ice Release: Star Fall!"
"It's the Ice Release Bloodline…"
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Wind Release: Typhoon!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
"Wind Release: Second Star!"
..."...Damn it, is this intentional?"
Outside the Sunagakure Camp, Sakumo Hatake was casually holding a flower branch he had plucked from somewhere, leaning against a giant tree trunk, quietly watching Fujiwara Tetsuya's performance.
It wasn't until he saw dozens of ice cones, each as thick as an adult man's waist, deviate towards his position under the bombardment of numerous Sunagakure Ninjutsu… that he finally jumped up, no longer calm.
"Hatake Style Sword Art: Sky Quake!"
"I have to say, Tetsuya… the sword style he came up with is unexpectedly suitable for actual combat."
"According to that brat's words, this… should not be called stealing, but rather borrowing."
Watching the ice crystals scatter across the sky after being struck by Sky Quake, Sakumo Hatake slowly exhaled and placed the White Fang back at his waist.
