Chapter 41 Removing the Exploding Insects, the Tsundere Tsunade
"Alright, now it's just the three of you left." Ignoring the Raikage's frustrated expression, Tsunade removed the Explosion Bugs from Shizune and then turned her gaze to the three of them, including Ishikawa.
"Because the three of you have too little chakra, the worms inside you are probably only the size of natto. But don't be too happy yet! Because the worms are too small to operate on, I have to use the chakra of the live slug to make the worms grow bigger, at least to the point where they can manifest!"
Tsunade gave Ishikawa a meaningful look, and as she explained, the three of them felt a warm chakra emanating from the slug and flowing into their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the chakra and fatigue that Ishikawa and his companions had just expended were restored. At the same time, the infusion of chakra caused the exploding insects within their bodies to grow rapidly.
"She's here, Lady Tsunade." "Me too."
Soon, the two henchmen quickly lifted their shirts, exposing their chests, and shouted. On their chests, a bulge the size of a fist was rapidly wriggling.
"Quiet!" Tsunade shouted in a low voice, her chakra blades flashing as she swiftly and accurately cut and separated the two exploding larvae.
"Me, and me..." Ishikawa hurriedly called out upon seeing this. At this moment, the bulge on his chest had gradually formed the outline of an insect, and his size was more than twice that of his two younger brothers.
"Huh! I suddenly forgot there was another person." Tsunade seemed not to hear Ishikawa's exclamation and suddenly clapped her hands as if she had just remembered something.
"Yes, and Karai too. Karai is still waiting for rescue outside the town!" The Raikage, who hadn't received the slug's full treatment, hurriedly said, pointing out the location to Tsunade.
"Okay, I'm going right now." Tsunade nodded quickly, her chakra exploding beneath her feet as she instantly vanished from above the slug's head! Leaving Ishikawa standing there, bewildered in the wind...
"It was intentional! You absolutely did it on purpose! Lady Tsunade, I really didn't mean it!!" A moment later, Ishikawa's heart-wrenching wail echoed through the town!
"Hmph, serves you right for being so talkative." The Fourth Raikage sneered, adding insult to injury. Although his chest injury was very painful and he could hardly breathe, his mood was as refreshing as a clear spring.
"Get your five hundred million ready, Raikage-sama~" Ishikawa replied unhappily. His sarcastic tone made Raikage gasp for breath, and then he felt a pang of heartache at the thought of the huge medical fee.
How infuriating! Tsunade could only scare this brat, but he's demanding 500 million taels of real money. It's infuriating no matter how you look at it!
Happiness doesn't disappear, it just moves on. Seeing the Raikage's frustrated expression, Ishikawa suddenly burst into laughter despite the pain in his chest! (?ˉ?ˉ)σ!
On the other side, Tsunade, who was leaving the town, suddenly stopped.
"Have the side effects already begun?" Tsunade murmured to herself, looking up at her rapidly aging arm and touching the wrinkles on her face.
Creation and regeneration is a regenerative technique that comes at the cost of cellular energy! The downside is that after consuming a large amount of cellular energy, it becomes impossible to maintain a youthful appearance. After all, this isn't just about restoring the body to its true age; it's something far worse!
She had decided to leave earlier because she sensed a subtle change in her body's cells. After all, it wasn't just about a woman's desire for beauty, but also about the enormous sum of five hundred million taels for the consultation.
Tsunade wasn't sure if the Raikage would fight back after seeing her weakened state! Besides, how could she let the Raikage know about such a crucial weakness in her ninjutsu?
"Looks like I need to replenish my protein levels before going to rescue him! Whether he lives or dies depends on whether he can hold out until I get there." Muttering to herself, Tsunade immediately changed direction and ran towards the town's butcher shop.
Soon, as the town returned to tranquility and time passed, the darkness on the horizon was gradually dispelled by the rising sun...
Over here, the two younger brothers were squeezed out of the slug's body half an hour after surgery because their wounds were too small. After them, Shizune, Kakashi, and Amai were also cured and freed from the slug.
After confirming that Ishikawa was temporarily alright, Kakashi gave Ishikawa a look that said "be careful" and immediately took Tarojiro to clean up the battlefield.
In the world of ninjas, even corpses are valuable treasures. However, handling corpses is an extremely dangerous task, especially the corpses of enemies! Kakashi naturally wanted to take this opportunity to personally lecture the two of them and collect spoils of war.
Meanwhile, Amai, a ninja from the Cloud Village, was sent by the Raikage to retrieve the Ninja Scroll from Sugi no Ninja Village. They had sacrificed so much; it would be a huge loss if they couldn't get the scroll.
"They're here! Lady Tsunade is back!" Suddenly, two figures rushed towards them from afar, drawing Shizune's attention and prompting her to exclaim in surprise.
Immediately, Ishikawa and Raikage, who had been eagerly waiting, both looked in the same direction.
"Karai, it's Karai. Thank goodness, he's still alive!" The Raikage was overjoyed as he looked at the figure behind Tsunade in the distance.
He had been worried about Karai's safety because Tsunade hadn't returned for a long time, but now it seemed that was completely unnecessary!
Tsunade is just going to play tricks on that Konoha brat.
"Lord Raikage..." Almost at the same time as the Raikage's loud voice, Karai on the other side heard the sound and immediately sped up.
In less than half a minute, the two appeared on the slug's head almost simultaneously.
"Kid, do you know you were wrong?" Ignoring the situation with the Raikage, Tsunade, now back to normal, crossed her arms and smiled as she looked at Ishikawa.
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again..." Ishikawa could easily tell that Tsunade was giving him a way out, and he nodded hurriedly.
Although he knew there was no danger to his life, who knew if the Exploding Bugs parasitizing his body would accidentally explode! Ishikawa didn't dare to gamble with his luck; he'd never been good with these things.
"Hmph, I bet you won't dare do that again." Tsunade nodded with satisfaction and arrogance, quickly forming hand seals and igniting a chakra scalpel in her hand.
With two swift movements, before Ishikawa could even react, two blue beams flew past his chest, tearing him open. Instantly, intense pain surged into Ishikawa's mind, and cold sweat poured down his forehead and back, almost causing him to faint.
But the very next second after the excruciating pain, Ishikawa felt as if his feet had slipped and he had fallen into a hot spring! His whole body felt like it was being massaged, and the wound on his chest was both numb and warm, with flesh growing rapidly without him being able to see it...
"Hey, you two!" Looking at the exploding bug at her feet, Tsunade turned to the Raikage and shouted, "I'll give you one day to bring the consultation fee. Otherwise, if I have a way to remove the bug, I can put it back in his place."
"What? One day?? That's too tight!" Amai's expression changed as she rushed over, and she instinctively tried to find an excuse to delay the deadline.
But Tsunade wouldn't give him a chance. "As long as Kumogakure agrees, one day is enough! Just one day. If I don't see the money by tomorrow, I'll pack the bugs back."
With that, Tsunade turned and walked towards Kakashi without looking back. Did he really think her title as one of the Legendary Sannin was just for show? Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences; how could Tsunade not understand such a simple truth!
"Go, send an emergency contact signal." Looking at Lei Ying, who was being controlled by others, Amai gritted her teeth and turned around.
