This Danzo Is Weird!

Chapter 73: 73. Chiyo’s Excitement



"Creak... Creak... Creak... Creak..."

The endless clatter of puppets echoed like the wails of death, becoming a nightmare for every Konoha shinobi.

Under the relentless assault of countless kunai, poisoned senbon, explosive tags, and the self-sacrificing charge of puppets, Konoha's forces finally collapsed.

"Run!"

"Run for your lives!"

Panic spread among Konoha's troops as they desperately retreated toward the camp, hoping its defenses could slow down the enemy's advance.

But as bodies fell one after another, the devastating explosions finally blew open the gates of Konoha's encampment.

Silhouettes, as ghostly as specters, stormed inside under the control of chakra threads—twisting their bodies in unnatural, inhuman ways as they cut down their foes mercilessly.

With poisoned blades gleaming, they butchered Konoha's forces without hesitation.

At that moment—

Shizune, who had just retrieved the antidotes and was preparing to evacuate the wounded, ran straight into the fearsome puppet army outside Konoha's hospital.

"Damn it!"

Her face turned pale, and she cursed under her breath.

But her curses didn't frighten the enemy—

It only made them more excited.

"She's Tsunade's apprentice! Capture her immediately!"

Upon recognizing Shizune's identity, a large number of puppets rushed toward her.

Under their masters' control, hidden mechanisms clicked open, unleashing a barrage of deadly weapons.

Seeing the incoming assault, Shizune had no choice but to fight.

She drew her kunai and braced herself.

Though she wasn't as skilled in combat as Kakashi, she was still Tsunade's apprentice—her taijutsu wasn't weak.

For a brief moment, she and a handful of Konoha shinobi held their ground, blocking multiple attacks.

But in the face of overwhelming numbers, sheer skill wasn't enough.

Soon, the enemy's superior numbers overwhelmed Konoha's defenders.

Several Konoha shinobi, who had tried to hold their position at the hospital, were slaughtered.

Then—

Boom!

Explosive tags detonated, blasting apart the hospital walls.

As the smoke cleared, shadowy figures emerged—surrounding Shizune completely!

Although she wasn't as important as Tsunade, capturing her would still be a valuable prize.

With that thought, the four surrounding puppets moved in unison, their eerie creaking growing louder.

Shizune's face darkened.

A sharp, concentrated mass of chakra formed in her hands—

Chakra Scalpel.

This technique could slice through anything like a surgeon's blade.

But she had a major problem—

She wasn't fast enough.

She could only strike one puppet at a time.

Which meant—

The other two would have a clear shot at her.

There was no time to think.

As the puppets closed in, she followed her instincts.

"I won't go down without a fight!"

For the first time, the usually calm and reserved Shizune roared in defiance.

With a swift slash, her chakra scalpel sliced through one of the incoming puppets—

Splitting it in half!

More importantly, she severed the chakra thread controlling it—completely neutralizing its puppeteer.

But at that very moment—

The other two struck from above and both sides.

Four poisoned blades lunged toward her simultaneously.

Shizune prepared herself for death.

But fate had other plans.

Just as the puppets' blades were about to pierce her—

A figure clad in a long green haori descended from the sky—

Tsunade had arrived!

___

Tsunade pressed her pale hand against the attacking puppet—

And crushed it into fragments with sheer force.

Then, without hesitation, she hurled the remains toward another incoming puppet.

Boom!

Under the terrifying power of her monstrous strength, the final puppet exploded as if struck by a high-speed cannonball—

Its body shattered apart, scattering like fireworks in the night sky.

Shizune watched as Tsunade's dark green haori fluttered in the wind.

Her heart filled with relief at being saved—

But also deep concern over Tsunade entering the battlefield personally.

Sensing her apprentice's worries, Tsunade turned her head slightly and offered a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, Shizune. I'm very strong."

With that, slugs leaped from her body and rushed toward the wounded Konoha shinobi, administering emergency medical treatment.

"That's the Princess of Konoha—Tsunade-hime!"

At the sight of one of the legendary Sannin, the once-arrogant Suna shinobi visibly hesitated.

However—

On a battlefield, there are always reckless fools who don't care about titles or reputations.

To them, an enemy was just an enemy.

And there was only one response—

Attack!

One such shinobi charged straight at Tsunade, blade raised.

In response, Tsunade calmly coated her fair palm with chakra.

The moment his weapon met her hand—

He understood the true meaning of monstrous strength.

With effortless ease, she ripped the weapon from his grip.

Then, with precise control, she mimicked the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, delivering a chakra-infused palm strike.

The unfortunate shinobi was sent flying dozens of meters, smashing through several buildings before finally coming to a stop.

The surrounding warriors stared in absolute shock.

What kind of walking disaster is this woman?!

Tsunade gave a satisfied nod to herself.

Her method was intentional—by not spilling blood directly, she could avoid triggering her fear of blood.

As for the shinobi she had just sent flying, whether or not he coughed up blood had nothing to do with her.

As long as it wasn't in front of her, she wouldn't be affected.

But then—

With Tsunade's arrival, the real battle began.

"Splurt!"

A razor-sharp blade pierced through a Konoha shinobi, ending his life in an instant.

A shadowy figure stood atop the ruins of the hospital, gazing down at Tsunade.

"As expected of you, Tsunade."

A frail, hunched-over elderly woman finally revealed herself—

Chiyo, the Senior Advisor of Sunagakure.

Floating on either side of her were two mysterious puppets, draped in black cloaks.

At last—

The two most renowned medical-nin in the shinobi world stood face-to-face.

"I never thought you'd decipher my poison so quickly."

"Truly unexpected."

Chiyo's sharp gaze swept across the Konoha shinobi.

Although they still appeared weakened, the poison in their bodies was undoubtedly neutralized.

And that, without a doubt, was due to Tsunade's expertise.

Even as a veteran of Sunagakure, Chiyo had to admit—

Tsunade possessed an unparalleled gift in medical ninjutsu.

Even she couldn't match it.

"So, it's you, old hag—Chiyo."

Tsunade forced herself not to look at the bloodied corpses skewered by puppets—

Not to look at the rivers of blood spreading across the battlefield.

But no matter how hard she tried—

The crimson hue seeped into her vision, twisting and flowing like an endless river.

Then—

Nawaki...

Dan...

One by one, their faces surfaced in her mind.

Her expression subtly changed, her hands trembling ever so slightly.

Chiyo, being a fellow medical-nin, noticed it immediately.

A flash of suspicion crossed her aged face—

Followed by a bold realization.

And the moment she put the pieces together, and then..

A spark of excitement gleamed in the old woman's eyes.
