Chapter 543: The Infected
Unaffected by the Nine-Tails Chakra, Naruto's true feelings were revealed, which made Jiraiya relieved and worried.
The gratifying part is naturally that the current Naruto will not be easily affected by those chakras full of negative energy of the Nine-Tails, and the possibility of going berserk will be reduced.
The part of the concern was that if Naruto continued to be controlled by this emotion, he would eventually lose himself and be swallowed by the Nine-Tails.
Faced with Naruto's question, Tsunade and Jiraiya did not answer immediately, but Nara Shikahisa nodded and said, "These people are the members of the Akatsuki organization that invaded Konoha Village this time. ”
Nara Shikaku's words were more measured, and he didn't tell Naruto about the fact that there were Jiraiya's apprentices among these people.
Just as Naruto was about to open his mouth to continue asking something, another person rushed in without knocking.
"Tsunade-sama!"
"Something's wrong!"
It was Sakura who rushed in, and everyone was stunned when they heard Sakura's voice.
Naruto hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Sakura's shoulders and asked, "Are those guys back again?" ”
Sakura was a little surprised that Naruto was here, but immediately shook her head and said, "No, it's the villagers who are acting strangely." ”
Before Naruto could react, Tsunade had already rushed out in one lunge step, and Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku, Naruto, and Sakura followed in turn.
The group quickly ran down the slope of the pit and came to the countless sand barriers under the pit.
When they came here, everyone was immediately startled by the scene in front of them.
I saw that on the narrow road between the dense sand barriers, countless civilians of Konoha Village were "crawling" on the ground.
The villagers appear to be prostrate on the ground, but instead of using their hands, they rub their entire front body on the ground and push forward with only a pair of legs behind them.
Everyone moved inefficiently in this strange position, and even if there was a wall in front of them, they didn't shy away from slamming into it.
It's like they're mimicking some creature.
"What's going on? Sakura. ”
"I didn't know, all of a sudden, all of them were like this."
Among these civilians, there are several ninjas who are also moving in this way.
Nara Shikahisa on the side saw an acquaintance and immediately ran forward to pull his body up, grabbing the collars on both sides of the ninja's vest.
"Hey! Salt water, what are you doing? Sober me up! ”
This Konoha ninja named Nara Shinei had a completely empty eye, and even when he was yelled at by his own family patriarch, he didn't react at all.
"Nara salt water! Wake me up! ”
Lu Jiu shook Salt Water's body frantically, but Salt Water's body was still unmoved, and some words came out of his mouth.
The words were so low that Shikaku had to stop shaking Saline's body and put his ear to Saline's mouth.
"The old days... Coming back..."
"Lalleye... will rise from the bottom of the sea..."
"The world... Back to the order of the time..."
"Trial... Advent..."
A series of obscure words came out of the mouth of the salt water, which made the people next to him hear in a fog.
Just when Shikaku wanted to turn around and ask Tsunade what to do, Salt Water's head suddenly arched forward, and his open mouth bit Shikaku's face.
"Ahh
Lu Jiu broke out with a loud scream, and his body instinctively pushed away the salt water, but the salt water mouth bit Lu Jiu's face tightly, and he just didn't let go.
Jiraiya reacted immediately, rushed forward and grabbed the jaw of Nara Salt Water, and pressed it down hard, dislocating the salt water's jaw.
Sakura's jaw couldn't close, so he naturally let go, and Shikaku immediately pushed Satan's body away, and Sakura also stepped forward to treat Shikaku's bite on his face.
The salt water bit Lu Jiu's face just now was completely dead, and he almost bit off the flesh on his face, but fortunately, he also dealt with it in time, and there was a ready-made medical ninja next to him, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
Shikahisa sat on the ground in shock, although he didn't scream because of the pain, the rapid beating of his heart still showed that Lujiu was frightened by the moment just now.
[Get 1000 Shiver from Shikaku, Nara!] 】
And the Nara salt water, which was pushed away, did not continue to attack, but continued to crawl elsewhere in that strange posture.
Tsunade looked at the huge sandy residential area, and everywhere he could see, there were people crawling in this strange posture.
Tsunade immediately ordered: "Inform the others, don't approach the infected people easily, they are aggressive!" ”
Hearing Tsunade's words clearly define these people as "infected people", Jiraiya immediately turned his head and asked, "Tsunade, do you know something?" ”
Tsunade bit his lip lightly, but didn't answer.
Seeing Tsunade's attitude, Jiraiya became even more angry, and yelled directly at Tsunade: "Tsunade! ”
At this point, Tsunade couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only tell what he knew.
"Actually, the low number of deaths in Konoha Village this time is not because of my command, but because of my psychic beasts."
Psychic beasts?
Is it a slug immortal?
Jiraiya immediately thought that Tsunade's psychic beast was the giant slug.
The slug's main function is to have its splinter body pass Tsunade's chakra, which can heal a large number of wounded, and the effect is most significant on a certain scale battlefield.
Is Tsunade trying to say that his slugs have healed a lot of people?
"Although I do want to psychic slug immortals, I'm not sure if the slug that came out of this psychic slug is not a slug immortal, because it's very different from the usual slug immortals..."
"Different? Aren't the slug immortals psychic beasts that have signed a blood pact with you? How could it be psychic wrong? ”
Jiyalai was puzzled by Tsunade's statement, but Tsunade did not explain the problem, and continued: "Slugs are generally the same as usual, but the color of the skin surface is yellow, and there are many spikes on it. ”
"According to the accounts of many Konoha ninjas, it was these slugs that pierced a lot of Konoha ninjas with the spikes on their bodies."
"After that, these Konoha ninjas who were stabbed by spikes will not die even if they are fatally wounded."
"Even some of the ninjas who just died came back to life after being pricked by the spikes of these slugs."
"It was these slugs who, without my knowledge, stabbed almost all the civilians in Konoha Village and two-thirds of the ninjas in the village with their spikes."
"These people's bodies have acquired immortal properties because of this, and it is precisely because of this that the village's casualties in this battle are so small."
After listening to Tsunade's explanation, he understood the general process of this battle.
It's no wonder that Tsunade always stops talking about the casualties in the village.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya continued to ask: "Then the infection you said..."
"What do you mean?"
