Fight!
Kushina's pent-up rage erupted. She formed hand seals, letting out a fierce cry, "Sage Art: Susanoo!"
Instantly, a scorching yet chilling chakra burst forth from Kushina.
Then, a Blue Susanoo projection emerged from her body, letting out a roar that shook the sky...
Flesh, sinews, bones, Tengu armor, and powerful legs.
Kushina, with a mere exertion, had reached the limits of the Mangekyō. The fourth form of Susanoo, identical to the one used by Pain.
The golden Nine-Tails chakra enveloping Kushina's body began to spread, completely dyeing the Susanoo, transforming the Blue Giant into a Golden one, exuding an unparalleled aura.
Kushina grinned ferociously, as if she were the true villain. "So it was you who beat my husband like that, wasn't it!"
Two Kamui shuriken materialized in the golden Susanoo's hands. Kushina launched them with all her might towards the Human Path. The shuriken flew with incredible speed, and upon striking the Human Path, the Kamui vortex engulfed half its body, shattering the puppet.
Tsunade, floating in mid-air, aimed her palm at the Asura Path. "Truth-Seeking Orb Cannon!"
A barrage of orbs shot forth from her palm, each orb encased in layers of chakra, raining down like a laser storm, clashing with the Asura Path below.
Mere thermal Shinobi tools, how could they possibly withstand the Tenseigan?
The Tenseigan chakra laser rain, a saturation strike, instantly pierced through the Asura Path's thermal Shinobi tool defenses, not only shattering its body but also tearing the very earth apart.
Perhaps... this was the true fighting style of Tsunade, empowered by the Yin Seal.
Tsunade, always a close-quarters fighter, experienced the joy of a long-range artillery mage for the first time.
"AHAHAHAHA—"
The enslaved, one-eyed Satori, relying on its durable hide, stood at the forefront, deflecting the Truth-Seeking Orb Cannon, extending its claws, trying to pierce Tsunade's abdomen.
But Tsunade—only allowed Gojo Kaigetsu to pierce her abdomen.
She waved her hand, and several more blue orbs flew from her sleeve, circling her right arm at imperceptible speeds, gradually forming a silver vortex.
Facing the roaring, one-eyed Satori and the horde of Animal Path summons behind it, Tsunade's eyes blazed with a sun-like battle fervor.
She raised her hand, grasping the air, and a silver longsword, formed from condensed Tenseigan orbs, materialized in her hand.
Right hand gripping the longsword, she raised it diagonally over her left shoulder, then, with a deceptively casual swing—
A silver storm swept across the land!
In this violent storm, whether a monster as powerful as the one-eyed Satori, or the ordinary Animal Path summons, all were like rootless duckweed, swept away.
As insignificant as ants.
Wherever the silver storm passed, the summons were reduced to fragments, the scorched earth churned!
Not just the Animal Path's summons; the scorched earth was plowed anew, countless trees uprooted, boulders pulverized into fine gravel, debris filling the air.
Even the Animal Path was disintegrated in the storm, its fragments colliding with the swirling debris, creating a cacophony of impacts.
Clack, clack, clack, clack!!!
Seconds later, the shredded remains of the summons rained down, mixing with the freshly turned earth and rain to form a river of crimson blood.
The summons, once possessing overwhelming numerical superiority, were now reduced to a single, one-eyed Satori, its wings broken, its limbs gone, struggling to remain standing.
This miraculous scene... even Tsunade, the caster, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
This was the power of the Tenseigan!
But the chakra consumption was astonishing.
Even Tsunade, having completely released the Yin Seal, was struggling. The blue light in the depths of her Tenseigan pupils dimmed slightly.
Tsunade hadn't forgotten Gojo Kaigetsu's instructions. She slowly floated forward, a blue chakra spirit orb forming in her palm, writhing and malevolent, a villainous grin on her face as she prepared to shove it into Satori's mouth.
"Tie up your hair!!"
"Open your mouth! I'm only saying this once!"
Gulp, gulp~
Prprprpr~
Satori struggled, trying to resist Tsunade's assault, but ultimately, its mouth was pried open by Tsunade's monstrous strength. The fist-sized chakra spirit orb was shoved into the one-eyed Satori's mouth.
Satori, the monster from the Box of Ultimate Bliss, originally masterless, had later been enslaved and summoned by the Animal Path. Its single, open eye also bore the layered pattern of the Rinnegan.
The Rinnegan controlled puppets by inserting black chakra receivers, and summons by staring at them. The Tenseigan, however, controlled puppets and summons by injecting spirit orbs, even—granting them their own consciousness.
It was an even more ultimate form of Yin-Yang Release than the Rinnegan.
Now, Tsunade had forcefully inserted a spirit orb into Satori's body.
The purple patterns around its single eye began to recede, replaced by a clear, uncensored, fluorescent blue light.
Konoha's future guardian beast—Tensei Satori—now online.
Tsunade's body slowly ascended, reaching Kushina's level.
"Lady Tsunade! It seems all five Pain puppets have been dealt with."
"Don't let your guard down, Kushina! I can sense a strange chakra approaching!" Tsunade, despite having eliminated the five Paths of Pain, showed little joy.
Possessing the Tenseigan, she could clearly sense a large, ominous, strange chakra approaching them.
This familiar yet unfamiliar chakra—what was it?
The long-awaited battle invigorated Tsunade, her cells buzzing, clearing the fog of alcohol and gambling from her mind.
Quickly, Tsunade searched her memory palace, finding a match for this chakra signature—
"It's Granduncle's Edo Tensei!"
"Not good—Kushina, move!" Tsunade finally realized the nature of this ominous chakra. The Tenseigan reacted the instant it detected the target.
Activating the Tenseigan's repulsive force, she pushed Kushina away while simultaneously distancing herself.
In the next second, the silent dead erupted from the earth—
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Jutsu!"
A dazzling pillar of light enveloped the space where Tsunade and Kushina had been. Due to Susanoo's massive size, it was grazed by the Dust Release pillar, and even its thick Tengu armor sustained a clean, smooth cut.
Kushina grunted, shaken.
"This is..."
"The resurrected Kage from various Hidden Villages!" Tsunade's expression turned grave as she watched the figures emerge from the edge of the scorched earth. Fourteen Edo Tensei bodies, radiating an aura of power, had surrounded them.
Seeing her targets, Tsunade finally believed Gojo Kaigetsu's words about a "mastermind behind the scenes." It was real.
And that entity was lurking near the Falls of Truth, constantly monitoring the battlefield.
Gojo Kaigetsu coming home from work—so sneaky!
Tsunade pursed her lips, surveying the figures before her.
"Second Raikage, Third Raikage, Third Kazekage, Fourth Kazekage—And the ones who killed Granduncle, Gold and Silver Brothers..."
A faint smile appeared on Tsunade's face.
The fate of a Shinobi, perhaps it was like her, Tsunade, being pinned to the bed by Gojo Kaigetsu, his knees pressing against her shoulders... a continuous cycle.
Tobirama Senju, ambushed and killed by Gold and Silver Brothers. The Edo Tensei he developed now resurrected Gold and Silver Brothers, allowing her, his granddaughter, to avenge him...
Excellent, it all came full circle!
The Second Tsuchikage, Mū, flexed his bandaged fingers. "This is the Second Hokage's Edo Tensei... The body doesn't fully obey its own will."
The Second Mizukage grumbled, "It seems so. I wanted to kill you directly earlier, but my body wouldn't listen."
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, looked ahead, recognizing Tsunade. "Konoha Shinobi, How is Temari now? Never mind. Though I'm curious about Temari's condition, you two should be careful!"
"We can't control ourselves! While the caster hasn't fully taken control of our consciousness, retreat now!"
"Temari is doing well now. But there's something you need to understand, Fourth Kazekage. For me and Kushina, you are the ones who should be retreating!" Tsunade's battle spirit surged.
"Kushina, can you do it? Use your sealing jutsu to seal away these beings who don't belong in the world of the living!"
"I will seal them!"
