The Shadow of Konoha

In the Wet Bone Forest, Tsunade was helping Hanyu sort out the messy documents.

It's not that she wanted to do something specifically for Hanyu, but it's a common trait among almost all girls to dislike the furnishings in an otaku's room… Although before being disliked, the sadder fact is that it is impossible for a rare creature like a girl to appear in an ordinary otaku's room.

Tsunade has decided to follow Hanyu's example and set up a "secret research base" in the Wet Bone Forest, but she certainly won't stay with Hanyu. The barrier inside the Katsuyu's body is intricate, and she has other location options ... If there is a wide space, why should she squeeze together with Hanyu?

What kind of person is that? Although she is violent occasionally, Tsunade considers herself to be a very reserved person at heart.

Occasionally, a dull sound could be heard from outside the barrier, as if the earth under it had suddenly lost a large part of its mass and the ground was collapsing. However, due to the barrier of the barrier, this sound was difficult to reach Tsunade's ears.

However, the strange behavior of the little Katsuyu on her body eventually attracted Tsunade's attention, because its two tentacles kept turning like a searchlight, and Tsunade couldn't help but notice this convulsive behavior.

"Katsuyu, what happened?"

"…No, it's nothing, Lady Tsunade."

Katsuyu was silent for a moment, and then gave this answer. It would be useless to tell Tsunade those things, not to mention that the distance between the two sides was too far. Even if they were very close, Tsunade could not help Hanyu.

But what is quite magical is that Hanyu, who is fighting for life and death on the battlefield in full swing, and Tsunade, who is quietly in the Wet Bone Forest and extremely rarely displays her feminine power, are connected through a slug... They understand this about each other, but they are not quite clear about it.

…

It was as if millions of steel needles were piercing his brain membrane. Hanyu regained consciousness amidst a splitting headache. He stretched out the slug's slimy body and squeezed out of it, exposing himself to the air again.

"Cough." Hanyu half-knelt on a branch, hiding in the dense tree canopy. He kept coughing, first spitting out tissue fluid from the slug's body from his mouth and nose, and then blood flowed out of his ears, mouth and nostrils.

After coughing, Hanyu first covered his mouth with one hand, and then wiped it with the back of his hand.

"Katsuyu, how long have I been unconscious?"

Hanyu asked in a low and difficult voice. His physical condition was already extremely bad at this moment. In order to make the tailed beast out of control, he had just consumed a lot of energy and chakra... What was even more difficult to understand was that most of his injuries, physical fatigue, chakra erosion, and mental consumption were actually caused by himself. In comparison, the superficial injuries caused by the enemy were nothing.

It's not because Hanyu likes to torture himself and is a typical M, but if he didn't torture himself like this, he would have become a corpse by now.

"Master Hanyu, it has been almost ten minutes since you lost consciousness," Katsuyu said at the side.

"...It took much longer than expected." Hanyu covered his and frowned deeply.

Under the premise of severe mental fatigue or even serious damage, forcing oneself to wake up is actually not advisable. Continuous coma is the body's self-protection mechanism at work. Coma is also equivalent to an alternative rest. Forcing oneself to regain consciousness will only make the injury worse.

Waking up within ten minutes does not mean that the negative impact of the forbidden mental technique on him will only last for such a short time. On the contrary, it will continue.

But on this battlefield, Hanyu had to wake up.

Now he had to rest for a while before taking the next step... His slightly trembling hands and feet told Hanyu that his control over his body had temporarily dropped to an abnormally low level.

"Has the Eight-Tails... broken free from control?" he asked the slug again.

Intelligence, protection, combat, assistance. In this battle where Hanyu was fighting one against a hundred , the role played by the psychic beast slug was simply immeasurable. It was light and flexible, and could be big or small at times, so it had endless uses.

If he has the chance in the future, Hanyu decided to write a book titled "100 Uses of Slugs".

The so-called chakra, a special energy, is composed of both spiritual and material aspects. Hanyu's spiritual aspect is extremely special, so special that it can support him to make seals in a free arrangement and combination manner and then use multiple escape techniques. Therefore, for the same reason, the "Fragments of Light Technique" generated by the special mental power should be a very effective mental sealing technique.

But how much effect it can have, Hanyu himself cannot determine... This battle has almost become a testing ground for his forbidden techniques.

"There's no sign of him regaining his composure at the moment. The Eight-Tails is still in confusion and out of control, and the Jinchuriki... is helpless." Katsuyu said.

Hanyu's eyes were fixed on the huge figure, and he could see that its tentacles were still waving wildly.

The space blockade barrier set up by Kumogakure used Renjuro's perception technique as punctuation in some places, so its shape is somewhat irregular. In order to ensure that the barrier can detain Hanyu and his group who pass through, the scope of this barrier is quite large.

However, no matter how big it is, the distance between the two farthest points is no more than ten kilometers. Within such a range, the Eight-Tails' huge body and the chakra that it emits wildly are truly terrifying.

Only those who have witnessed the tailed beast-level chakra with their own eyes can understand what this chakra represents.

One Eight-Tails can cause a large number of elite Kumogakure ninjas to flee in panic.

"Yasanagi, is there any problem?"

"My clone is with her. She is safe at the moment, hiding in the farthest part of the back of the Eight-Tails."

These words made Hanyu feel relieved, but at this moment, the Eight-Tails suddenly raised its head and let out a huge roar, and then a black ball gathered little by little around its mouth... As for the tailed beasts, everyone knows that what they like most are eating, sleeping, and blowing bubbles.

The Tailed Beast Ball gushed forward and then exploded suddenly. The blazing white light covered all the area in front of the Eight-Tails. The violent explosion instantly destroyed all existence within the range of this half of the barrier. At the same time, the translucent barrier flashed and eventually dimmed.

This scene shocked Hanyu. So what's the point of practicing ninjutsu? It's not as good as wasting chakra to be violent and exciting.

"Yasanagi... is on the back of the tailed beast, right?"

"It's... on the back."

All I can say is that Yasanagi was lucky. Under the attack of the map cannon, the chances were half life and half death, and she chose the former option.

"It's not time to rest. It's time for me to continue."

After the Tailed Beast Ball exploded, the surroundings were quiet and desperate. Apart from the roar of the Eight-Tails, no other sounds could be heard.

But Hanyu said this, and then he supported his knee with one hand and stood up with some difficulty. His body swayed, but he finally stood still.

"Master Hanyu, the barrier should have been destroyed by the Eight-Tails. Why is it still..."

Hanyu smiled, then felt his mouth full of blood, so he had to stop smiling and said, "I don't have a bad temper, but I can't just sit there and do nothing when someone clapped their hands and walked away after beating me up."

Katsuyu: "…"

Can the Hidden Cloud Ninja just clap their hands and leave now? After Hanyu's attack and the torment of the tailed beasts, how many Hidden Cloud Ninjas can still catch their breath?

"Well, I'm just doing it for my own satisfaction...it's a bit boring." Hanyu shook his head helplessly and finally said this.

Who was he showing his ninjutsu to now? Besides self-satisfaction, it was just boring.

"Now something very interesting is about to happen. If I appear before the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Katsuyu, guess what he will do?"

There is no need to guess, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki will turn around and run away.

This is a very interesting phenomenon. In terms of absolute strength, Hanyu is far inferior to the Jinchuriki. However, when the Jinchuriki sees him now, he will definitely be like a mouse seeing a cat... What will be the result after the cordial meeting between the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and Hanyu is now clearly in front of everyone.

Although due to the huge mental exhaustion, Hanyu has no way to use his Tailed Beast Rampage Technique a second time, no one knows about this except himself.

Even if the enemy determines that his current mental power is limited, what if?

Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.
