With Tsunade by his side, Shiba Kiyokawa continued towards the border.
They hadn't gone far when they encountered new customers.
Even Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but sigh at this moment: his trip was getting more and more exciting.
This time, they encountered Xiao Nan and Xie.
Just like in the original story, Sasori first encountered Konan on his way to the Land of Rain.
Konan, who can transform into paper and is completely immune to puppet physical attacks, is a great counter to Sasori's fighting style.
Once the scorpion realized its disadvantage, it decisively gave up and then chose to surrender.
At this moment, Konan was leading Sasori to the capital of the Land of Rain to hand him over to Shiba Kiyokawa, but unexpectedly they ran into each other on the way.
"Then why don't we travel together?" Shiba Kiyokawa simply invited.
We don't know what we'll encounter on this trip to rescue Yakushi Nonou, so bringing more people along isn't a bad idea.
If Nagato hadn't been currently in seclusion researching the new abilities of the Rinnegan, presumably tinkering with the Six Paths Puppet, Shiba Kiyokawa would have wanted to invite him along as well.
After a series of chance encounters, Shiba Kiyokawa's group had now grown to seven people.
He himself, Terai, Kakuzu, Tsunade and Shizune, as well as the newly joined Konan and Sasori.
This lineup seems strong enough to win even a small battle.
All seven were quite strong, so they traveled very quickly.
Guided by Terai, they quickly found the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers.
The Land of Rivers is a small buffer state located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
As the victorious nation in the last Shinobi World War, Konoha received a mission quota here after the war.
Therefore, as far as the eye can see, there are many Konoha-style sentry posts and watchtowers along the border.
But now they're all abandoned.
The Land of Rivers is now under the actual control of Sunagakure, and they have even crossed the Land of Rivers and pushed their vanguard into the Land of Fire.
The Battle of Kikyo Mountain, which will ultimately annihilate the spirit of Sunagakure, will take place in the inland region of the Land of Fire.
If we look at it from above the river of time, then this period is actually the last peak of Sunagakure on the front lines.
Unfortunately, they themselves were unaware of this.
Most of the Sand Village ninjas at this time were still optimistic about the war.
Even though Kirigakure suddenly joined the war not long ago and launched a surprise attack on them along the estuary, they still believed that everything would be alright as long as the Fourth Kazekage launched an attack!
After Sunagakure took control of the Land of Rivers, its defenses against the Land of Rain naturally weakened considerably.
So Shiba Kiyokawa and his group crossed the border without encountering a single patrolling Sunagakure ninja.
They finally found the fallen spirit bird in the woods beside the main road.
Xiao Nan, who was conducting aerial reconnaissance, quickly spotted a figure nearby.
"Qinghe, over here! There's a woman lying here with a child beside her. They look badly injured."
Upon hearing that the injury was serious, Tsunade and Shizune rushed over as a reflex.
Perhaps out of guilt for not being able to repay the debt, Jingyin proactively stepped forward to check on the condition of the woman who had fallen to the ground.
Shizune's skin isn't as thick as Tsunade's yet. This time, owing money and not only refusing to pay it back but also actively causing trouble has made her so ashamed she almost wants to disappear.
At this moment, she desperately wanted to do something to regain the creditor's trust.
Of course, this is also related to her lack of understanding of Tsunade's status.
After all, it would be difficult for anyone who had spent more than two years with a drunken gambler and a fat sheep to associate him with the powerful ninja that everyone feared.
She didn't know that Tsunade wasn't as afraid of those creditors as she appeared.
She was still very naive; she felt ashamed for owing money and guilty for not being able to pay it back, so she instinctively wanted to do more.
Tsunade had wanted to explain before, but she was afraid of corrupting the child and turning Shizune into a lazy bum, so she kept putting it off until now.
At this moment, she couldn't stop Jingyin, so she could only follow her out of concern.
While they were still performing emergency treatment in silence, they would occasionally offer a word or two of advice.
"First, use chakra to protect your heart meridian, yes, that's it."
Also, you've got the order wrong. You should detoxify first, then treat the external injuries. She's not waking up because she's been poisoned.
Terai was the first to arrive and, seeing the situation, anxiously asked, "How is Nonou-neechan? How did she get poisoned? Was it Sunagakure?"
When it comes to poison, the first place that comes to mind is Sunagakure, which is a consensus in the ninja world.
Tsunade received the reminder and did a quick check.
But it was fine if we didn't investigate, because once we did, we found out a big problem.
Tsunade released Yakushi Nonou's hand as if she had been electrocuted, her pupils suddenly contracting, her eyes filled with horror.
"What's wrong?" Terai panicked upon seeing this, and instinctively tried to go forward to check on him while asking him what was wrong.
Suddenly, a tremendous force came from my waist!
The black threads instantly pulled him back, away from Yakushi Nono, Kabuto, Tsunade, and Shizune on the ground.
Terai shouted anxiously.
But at the same time, Tsunade's absent-minded voice came through.
"This isn't Sunagakure poison, it's... snake venom."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground around him suddenly lit up with a red glow!
The light rapidly extended upwards, forming a cubic barrier that trapped the unconscious Yakushi Nono, Kabuto, and Shizune and Tsunade who were treating her inside!
This sudden change finally stopped Terai's screams.
He stared at the scene in disbelief, realizing that he had wronged Kakuzu behind him.
If Kakuzu hadn't pulled him back just in time with the threads of Earth Grudge Fear, he would have been trapped in the barrier along with Tsunade and the others.
They might even crash into the rising boundary of the barrier, resulting in an even worse fate.
This red cubic barrier instantly evoked long-forgotten memories for Shiba Kiyokawa!
He had seen something similar in the original story!
That was the Four Purple Flame Formation that locked the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the rooftop during the Konoha Collapse Plan!
And the inventor of this barrier is none other than Orochimaru!
The next moment, Snake appeared from the forest and strolled over leisurely.
"I thought this trap would catch that crazy woman, Yekura, but I never expected to meet so many interesting people."
You must be the Akatsuki from the Land of Rain, right? It's a pleasure to meet you.
Also, it's been a long time, Tsunade.
Tsunade had guessed it the moment she discovered the snake venom, and now she had suppressed her surprise, but her expression was complicated as she stared blankly at her two former colleagues.
Yes, there are two of them.
Beside Orochimaru, there was another white-haired youth wearing a high-necked white robe, the collar of which was so high that it almost completely covered the lower half of his face.
"Orochimaru, and Hiruko, it's been a long time." Tsunade greeted them with a sense of nostalgia and wistfulness.
Hiruko, a character from the previous movie, was set as a teammate of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru.
Shiba Kiyokawa never expected that this character would also be in this timeline.
Moreover, he is still in Konoha and has not defected. I wonder if he was affected by the butterfly effect he caused.
This person even appears to be Orochimaru's capable subordinate.
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He initially just wanted to come and take over Yakushi Nonou.
How did things gradually become so lively?
