Shizune, holding a marked map in her hands, ran up to Tsunade, her black kimono slightly disheveled.
At this moment, Tsunade's heart was anxious. She could no longer think about whether her disciple was this tense because of her orders or if she, like Tsunade, possessed a copy of the Night Star Diary.
"Alright, wait for me here."
With those words, Tsunade tucked the map into her bosom, preparing to head to the location marked by Orochimaru.
"Tsunade-sama, you can't!"
Shizune instinctively tried to stop her, then, noticing the gazes of the surrounding Konoha ninjas, lowered her voice and continued her plea.
"In your current condition, going to the battlefield is far too dangerous."
Since the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade had developed an extreme fear of blood. Whenever she saw blood, her entire body would weaken, rendering her powerless.
This was one of the reasons she had left Konoha.
How could someone who couldn't even face blood continue to be a ninja?
"No, I must go."
Tsunade gently patted Shizune's head, her tone soft.
"Do you know? The one fighting the Mist's Three-Tails Jinchūriki is a ninja from the Uchiha clan."
Shizune froze for a moment and mumbled, "Then why not leave it to him? Why must you take this risk?"
"You are wrong."
Tsunade shook her head, her beautiful face exuding determination.
"Although I have abandoned the Senju name, my identity has not changed. I am still the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage, Tsunade-hime of the Senju clan!"
"The Uchiha clan members are fighting to protect the village. At a time like this, how can I stand by and do nothing?"
Seeing Tsunade's resolute attitude, Shizune let out a helpless sigh.
Having been together as master and disciple for so many years, she naturally understood Tsunade's character.
If Tsunade could be dissuaded by her few words, then she wouldn't be the Tsunade-sama Shizune knew.
"Until I return, you will temporarily assume the position of chief logistics officer."
As her words fell, Tsunade's figure flickered and disappeared into the distance.
Watching her master's retreating figure, Shizune's eyes filled with deep concern.
Her delicate, fair right hand pressed against her kimono near her chest, feeling the texture of the diary hidden within, as she murmured softly.
"Night Star Uchiha, please, do not let anything happen to Tsunade-sama."
…
At the same time.
"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld."
Night Star formed a single hand seal, and the ground beneath Yagura, cloaked in the Tailed Beast Chakra, instantly turned into a swamp.
A tremendous suction force dragged Yagura's body downward.
"Roar!"
Yagura let out a monstrous roar, using all his strength to barely escape from the mire.
He chose not to approach Night Star but instead leapt far away to create some distance.
At this moment, Yagura's face, hidden beneath the Tailed Beast cloak, was twisted and contorted.
He had initially thought that by tapping into the power of the Three-Tails, following the orders of that man, killing Night Star Uchiha would be a simple task.
But as the battle unfolded, Yagura realized he was wrong—terribly wrong.
Within Konoha, such a prodigious talent existed.
When Night Star performed ninjutsu, there was no sequence of hand seals. He didn't even need to clasp his hands together. A single hand, one seal, was enough to instantly mobilize Chakra.
The process of forming hand seals was meant to help shinobi better channel their internal Chakra.
This demonstrated that Night Star is control over Chakra had reached a level of mastery where he could perform ninjutsu effortlessly without complex seals—a truly astonishing feat!
Even Yagura himself, when executing high-level Water Style jutsu, couldn't achieve this with just a single-handed seal.
Night Star is Chakra control ability even surpassed that of a Mizukage!
And that wasn't all.
Throughout the battle, Night Star not only used Fire Style, the specialty of the Uchiha clan.
Lightning Style, Wind Style, Earth Style, Water Style.
He wielded all five elemental styles with remarkable ease.
It was worth noting that the last person capable of using all five elemental styles in battle was Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the strongest Hokage in Konoha's history and a master of over a thousand jutsu.
Before coming here, Yagura hadn't expected that a sixteen-year-old boy, even with the extraordinary feat of eliminating nearly a hundred Mist shinobi, could be this powerful.
Even in his Tailed Beast form, he had no way of dealing with him.
"It seems I'll need to get serious."
As this thought crossed Yagura's mind, his body began to swell and expand.
Watching him enter the fully transformed Tailed Beast state, Night Star is expression remained calm. In his mind, he silently analyzed and recorded everything.
"Logically, Jinchūriki have extremely high resistance to genjutsu. Even the Mangekyou Sharingan shouldn't be able to control them."
"Let alone Yagura, a perfect Jinchūriki."
"After this intense battle, I've finally confirmed my hypothesis."
"Rather than Yagura using the power of the Three-Tails, it seems more like the Three-Tails within him is controlling his body."
"It appears that Obito Uchiha did not use the Mangekyou Sharingan is ocular jutsu to control Yagura."
"His true target was the Three-Tails itself."
"Afterward, by implanting the Three-Tails into Yagura's body, he achieved complete control over the Mizukage's mind."
"The so-called perfect Jinchūriki is merely a puppet because the Three-Tails is under the genjutsu of Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan."
