Chapter 100 So lively Taking Tsunade with him, Shiba Kiyokawa continued towards the border. As a result, I met a new guest not long after I walked away. At this moment, even Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but sigh: his trip was becoming more and more lively. This time they met Xiaonan and Xie. Just like the development in the original work, Scorpion first met Konan on the way to the Rain Country. Konan, who can turn himself into paper and is completely immune to the puppet's physical attacks, is very good at restraining Scorpion's fighting style. After realizing his disadvantage, Scorpio gave up decisively and chose to surrender. At this time, Konan was leading Scorpion to the capital of the Rain Country to hand the person over to Shiba Kiyokawa, but unexpectedly he met him on the way. "Why don't we go together?" Shiba Qinghe simply invited. We don't know what we will encounter on this trip to rescue Pharmacist Nono, so there's nothing wrong in bringing a few more people.
If Nagato hadn't been studying the new abilities of the Rinnegan behind closed doors recently, probably tinkering with the Six Paths Doll, Shiba Kiyokawa would have wanted to call him along as well. After a series of chance encounters, Shiba Kiyokawa's team has expanded to seven people. Himself, Terai, Kakuzu, Tsunade and Shizune, as well as the newly joined Konan and Sasori. This lineup feels like it's enough to fight a local battle. The seven of them were all very strong, so they traveled very quickly. Under Terai's guidance, they quickly found the border between the Rain Kingdom and the River Kingdom. The Kingdom of Rivers is a small buffer state located between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind. As the victorious nation in the last Ninja World War, Konoha received the mission quota here after the war. So wherever you look, you can see many Konoha-style sentry posts and lookouts along the border. But now it's all deserted. Now the Land of Rivers is under the actual control of Sunagakure. They have even crossed the Land of Rivers and pushed the front line into the territory of the Land of Fire. The future battle of Mount Kikyo, which would completely destroy the spirit of Sand Village, took place in the interior of the Land of Fire. If we look from above the long river of time, then this period of time is actually the last peak period of the Sand Village on the front battlefield. It’s a pity that they themselves don’t know it. Most of the Sand Village ninjas are still optimistic about the war at this time. Even though Kirigakure suddenly joined the war and launched a surprise attack on them along the estuary not long ago, they still believed that as long as the Fourth Kazekage launched an attack, everything would be fine! After Sunagakure took actual control of the River Country, its defenses against the Rain Country naturally weakened a lot. So Shiba Kiyokawa and others crossed the border all the way without encountering any patrolling Sand Village ninjas. Until they found the fallen psychic bird in the woods beside the main road. Xiaonan, who was conducting aerial reconnaissance, soon discovered a human figure nearby.
“Qinghe, here! There’s a woman lying here with a child beside her. They look seriously injured.” Hearing that the injury was serious, Tsunade and Shizune rushed over reflexively. Perhaps out of guilt for not being able to pay back the money, Jingyin took the initiative to step forward and check on the condition of the fallen woman. Little Shizune's face is not as thick as Tsunade's at the moment. This time, he didn't pay back the money and came to her house to make trouble, which made her so ashamed that she almost couldn't face her face. At this time, she was eager to do something to regain the trust of her creditors. Of course, this also has something to do with her not understanding Tsunade's status. After all, if anyone has been with a drunk, gambler, and fat sheep for more than two years, it would be difficult to associate him with the powerful ninja that everyone fears. She didn't know that Tsunade was not as afraid of her creditors as she seemed. She was still very naive. She would feel ashamed of owing money and guilty for not being able to pay it back, so she instinctively wanted to do more. Tsunade wanted to explain it before, but she was afraid of teaching the child bad habits and turning Shizune into a deadbeat, so fortunately she kept putting it off until now. At this moment, she couldn't stop Jingyin, so she followed with concern. She also gave Jingyin some advice from time to time while she was doing first aid. "Use chakra to protect your heart meridian first, yes, that's it. Also, your order is wrong. You should detoxify first and then treat the external injuries. She is poisoned and cannot wake up." Terai was the first to arrive, and when he saw the situation, he asked anxiously, "How is Nono-sister Nono? How did she get poisoned? Was it Sunagakure who did it?" When it comes to poison, people naturally think of Sand Village first. This is a consensus in the ninja world. Tsunade received the reminder and checked it briefly. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t check it, but once you check it, big problems will arise. Tsunade let go of Yakushi Nono's hand as if she had been electrocuted, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her eyes were filled with horror. "What's wrong?" Terai panicked upon seeing this, and while asking, he subconsciously wanted to go forward to check. Suddenly, a huge force came from my waist! The black thread instantly pulled him back, away from Nono Yakushi, Kabuto, Tsunade and Shizune on the ground. Terai shouted anxiously. But at the same time, Tsunade's distracted voice was heard. "This isn't Sunagakure's poison, this is... snake venom." As soon as the words fell, the surrounding ground suddenly lit up with a red glow! The light quickly extended upwards, forming a cubic barrier, trapping the unconscious Yakushi Nono, Kabuto, as well as Shizune and Tsunade who were treating her on the ground! This sudden change finally stopped Terai from screaming. He looked at the scene in disbelief and realized that he had wrongly blamed Kakuzu behind him. If Kakuzu had not pulled him back in time with the Earth Grievance's thread, he would have been trapped in the barrier with Tsunade and the others. It might even hit the boundary of the rising barrier, resulting in an even worse outcome.
This red cubic barrier instantly evoked Shiba Qinghe's long-lost memories! He had seen something similar in the original book! That was the Four Purple Flame Formation that locked the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen on the roof during Konoha's collapse plan! And the inventor of this barrier is none other than Orochimaru! The next moment, Uncle Snake appeared from the woods as expected, walking towards us leisurely. “I thought this trap would catch that crazy woman Ye Cang, but I didn’t expect to meet so many interesting people. You guys should be the Akatsuki organization from the Rain Country, right? What a pleasure to meet you. Also, long time no see, Tsunade." Tsunade had guessed it the moment she discovered the snake venom. She had put away her surprise and stared at the two former colleagues in front of her with a complicated expression. That’s right, two of them. Next to Orochimaru, there was another white-haired young man wearing a high-collared white shirt. The collar was so high that it almost covered the lower half of his face. "Orochimaru and Obito, it's been a long time since we last met." Tsunade greeted them with a look of nostalgia and sigh. Hokage, a character in the previous life movie, was set to be a teammate of Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Shiba Kiyokawa didn't expect that this character would also exist in this world line. Moreover, he is still staying in Konoha and has not defected. I don't know if he is affected by the butterfly effect he caused. It even seems that this person is now Orochimaru's right-hand man. At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but smile bitterly. At first, he really just wanted to come and take in Pharmacist Nono. How did things become as lively as they are now?
