Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

"I can't sense anything. This is troublesome!"

The anxious Yanagishta discovered that he could no longer sense the Flying Thunder God Kunai of either Rope Tree or Hinata Suzuran.

Yanagishita took a deep breath, and recalled a detail that might have been missed: "Uchiha Mikoto! She is not a member of Hatake Sakumo's team. If an emergency occurs, the captain and his men may not have time to deal with the Flying Thunder God Kunai on her, and they may not even know it exists!"

This discovery rekindled hope in Liuxia's heart. He quickly concentrated his mind and tried wholeheartedly to sense the spatial fluctuations of the Flying Thunder God Kunai on Uchiha Mikoto's body.

"This is my chance," Liuxia muttered to himself. His spiritual power was as sharp as a hound, searching for what might be the only clue. "I must seize it. This is the only way to connect to Sister Tsunade. Nothing must happen to you!"

"found it!"

Yanagixia disappeared in the Wet Bone Forest. The Slug Master in the core of the Wet Bone Forest also opened his eyes at the same time. It seemed that the ninja world was about to become interesting.

In the pouring rain in the forest, the ninjas of Konoha struggled to make their way through the Sand Village. Under the cover of night, the raindrops hit the leaves, making a rustling sound, adding a sense of urgency to the escape.

"We must find a way to deal with the Jonin on the other side! Otherwise, we won't be able to escape their pursuit!"

A handsome young man with black hair dodged the opponent's ninjutsu and fired an explosive talisman, then turned around and spoke loudly to his companions.

"Yeyuexing! Are you crazy? Why would we run if we can defeat them? We should just get rid of them as soon as possible!"

Another young man wearing the Uchiha clan emblem immediately retorted. There was a hint of panic and impatience in his tone, and he was obviously uneasy about the current situation.

"Uchiha Mingluan, you are a coward!" Ye Yuexing said to Lao Liu, whom he had always disliked. He was not at all like the descendant of a powerful family that his grandmother had talked about. "Damn it! If Captain Mikoto hadn't been injured protecting us, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."

At the same time, the Sand Village Ninjas were also carrying out their plans. A young Sand Village Ninja kept throwing ninja tools at the opposite Konoha Ninjas, but he was complaining that this was different from what he imagined.

"Captain, we are just playing the cat and mouse game all the time!" There was dissatisfaction in his tone.

"What else?" The captain's voice came through the rain, with a hint of cunning and calculation, "The other side is not a pushover either, especially that Uchiha female ninja. If it weren't for protecting the other two, I might not be her opponent. The battlefield is still too dangerous. Konoha is bound to lose anyway, so let's just drag it out like this."

The captain had one more thing in his mind that he hadn't said out loud, which was his admiration and selfish desire for the Uchiha kunoichi: "That Uchiha kunoichi is so pretty. If I capture her and take her home to be my wife, I can not only get a beauty, but if we have a boy or a girl, my descendants will also be a bloodline family, and a family with the strongest eye technique! It's exciting just to think about it."

His eyes flashed with ambition and desire in the rain, as if he had already seen a future in which he would capture the Uchiha female kunoichi and gain great glory and benefits.

Just as Uchiha Mingluan and Ye Yuexing were deep in thought, looking for a possible strategy to repel the enemy, a dazzling blue light flashed in the rain, breaking the silence in the forest.

A figure appeared beside Uchiha Mikoto with blue light. His appearance was like a god sent from heaven, catching everyone off guard.

Uchiha Mikoto and Ming Luan almost instinctively wanted to attack, but the man who came was faster. He quickly raised his hand and comforted the two of them with a gentle voice. His voice revealed a reassuring power.

"Relax, I'm not an enemy, I'm also a ninja of Konoha. My name is Yanagishita and I'm Mikoto's friend!"

Yanagishita gently pointed to the Konoha forehead protector he was wearing, signaling the two not to be nervous.

The reason why he was able to appear in time was because he sensed the signal of the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had previously given to Uchiha Mikoto.

The moment he sensed the signal, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique without hesitation, crossing the long distance and arriving at the battlefield in time. Although this ninjutsu consumed a lot of his chakra, for him, it was just a small matter of restoring full mana in three seconds.

"You are Liuxia!" The two exclaimed almost in unison, their eyes full of surprise and vigilance.

Liu Xia was slightly stunned, then revealed a playful smile: "It seems that I am also a celebrity?" He suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fame, as if even people who had never met him had heard of him. He didn't know that the two people opposite him knew him for a specific reason.

Uchiha Mingluan's heart was filled with mixed emotions: "This is the man who defeated the young clan leader, as rumored among the Uchiha clan." He couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, "It looks like he's a big trouble! It's not easy to make close friends, so it's better to keep a distance."

At the same time, Ye Xingyue's heart was also turning rapidly: "This is the tribe member my grandma mentioned. I've always heard that he is a genius ninja, but I've never seen him." He looked at Liu Xia and compared him secretly in his heart, "He doesn't look worse than me!"

Just as they were preparing to communicate further, suddenly, a few shurikens broke the tranquility of the rainy night with sharp sounds of breaking through the air, disrupting the originally harmonious atmosphere.

"Oops!"

Uchiha Mingluan and Ye Xingyue exclaimed almost at the same time. Facing this sudden attack, their hearts tightened. The shuriken was already within reach, and they could only dodge as much as possible by instinct, trying to avoid the vital parts.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

With a crisp sound of metallic collision, the long sword in Liuxia's hand was unsheathed, and his wrist flew at an astonishing speed, dancing out a series of handsome sword flowers.

Each sword hit the shuriken accurately, knocking them away one by one. Uchiha Mingluan and Ye Xingyue's dodging movements looked a little funny, and Yanagi couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile.

"Please take care of Mikoto. I will deal with them. Then find a place to hide. The war will be over soon."

Before Liu Xia finished his words, his figure had disappeared from their sight like a gust of wind, leaving only a trace of afterimage.

"What a quick teleportation technique!"

Uchiha Mingluan and Ye Xingyue looked at each other in shock. Before they could react, they heard several screams from the Sand Ninja in the distance.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief: "Is this resolved? The team led by the Jonin is gone just like that?"

-

On the battlefield between Konoha and Rain Ninja, the rain washed the earth like tears. Jiraiya had already collapsed to the ground, letting the rain take away his fatigue and unwillingness. His vision was blurred, and he could only helplessly watch Orochimaru and Tsunade make the final resistance in the wind and rain.

Orochimaru's figure seemed a little staggering in the rain. He covered his injured arm, staring at Hanzo on the Salamander while panting, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

Although Tsunade was still standing, her physical strength and chakra had reached their limits. Her body was soaked by the rain, but she was still as solid as a rock. There was no fear in her eyes, only her determination to fight.

From the moment the battle began, the team of jonin led by the three of them had been trying their best to delay Hanzo's pace.

But all the other jonin had died at the hands of Hanzo's incredibly fast swordsmanship and powerful water jutsu. They could only delay the pace of Hanzo's salamander, even though Tsunade had developed an antidote for the salamander poison in advance.

"I never thought you could hold me back for so long and even develop an antidote for the salamander poison," Hanzo stood on top of the salamander, looking down at them, with a hint of barely perceptible admiration in his voice, "Sure enough, Konoha's geniuses should not be underestimated."

His words revealed his recognition of the talents and fighting spirit of these three people. Even though they were enemies, he had to acknowledge their strength and courage.

Hanzo knew clearly that if he had not formed an alliance with the Sand Village this time, facing such a powerful Konoha, even if he defeated the three people in front of him, he would have no choice but to let them leave. But now things are different after all.

"You three are very good. Maybe you can grow to my level in time, but unfortunately, there are no ifs in the ninja world!" Hanzo looked at the three people in front of him and finally chose to raise the butcher knife in his hand!

Tsunade stood quietly in the rain, letting the rain mixed with sweat slide down her cheeks.

She silently accumulated her last bit of strength, knowing in her heart that she was in the best condition among the three.

Only she may be able to gain a glimmer of hope for her companions.

Her eyes were deep, sending a silent message to Orochimaru beside her.

The tacit understanding between them as long-term partners made them understand each other without words. Orochimaru felt Tsunade's determination, and he nodded silently, indicating that he would lead Jiraiya to retreat safely.

Tsunade felt a mix of emotions as she thought of the figure who had unexpectedly taken away her first kiss.

Once upon a time, she took care of him like a younger brother, but after that, subtle changes seemed to have taken place in her heart.

She sighed softly and thought to herself, "It seems that I will follow in the footsteps of Grandpa and Second Grandpa. Unfortunately, I still won't have the chance to see you again in the end."

Tsunade's eyes were filled with only the opponent in front of her, and her chakra was like a ignited flame, madly increasing to the extreme.

Her body was surrounded by a layer of golden light, which was so strong that it was visible to the naked eye, as if the god of war had descended.

"This is?!"

There was a hint of surprise in Hanzo's eyes. He could feel the strong chakra fluctuations emanating from Tsunade.

He didn't expect that Tsunade could burst out such a large amount of chakra in a desperate situation. With such potential and power, she is worthy of being the granddaughter of the God of Ninja World.

But a trace of regret soon appeared on Hanzo's face: "Unfortunately, this is all we can do!" He knew that although Tsunade's attack was powerful, it was still difficult to change the situation in front of him.

"Swordsmanship: Iai Slash!" The sickle in Hanzo's hand cut through the rain curtain, with a cold sword light, pointing directly at Tsunade.

And when Tsunade faced Hanzo's attack, there was no fear in her eyes, only determination.

"My feet hurt!"

Her figure was like a golden lightning, cutting through the air with a sound of breaking through the air, and collided with Hanzo's sword light.

At this moment, the entire battlefield shook, and the rain was splashed everywhere by the power of the two people, forming a spectacular rain curtain.
