Chapter 19: Tsunade's Apology (Preface/2-in-1)
————
By the time the battle ended, it was already evening, and the Sand Ninja's sneak attack caused heavy losses to the northern Konoha legion.
Although the elite part of the troops of thousands of people was retained, the recruits suffered extremely heavy casualties, hundreds of them died on the spot, and the rest of the people lost their combat ability due to injuries, poisoning, mutilation, etc., and the main reason was poisoning.
The poisonous fog that the sand ninja put into the battlefield this time is Chiyo's latest research and development, airborne transmission, vector transmission, can invade the body through human saliva, wounds, and even attached to knives, people infected by the virus will feel numb limbs in a short period of time, and then lose spatial perception, even if poisoning can be avoided, but the toxins spread by the air will continue to invade human cells over time, and eventually destroy the balance structure of the human body.
To put it simply, when the poisonous fog spreads, no matter whether you are hit at the beginning or later, as long as you are within the scope of the poisonous fog infection, you will become infected.
This also means that almost all of the Konoha elites who Kaguya desperately rescued have been infected with this virus, including Uchiha and others.
It's just that Kaguya was able to send the Uchiha into the inner world to avoid the invasion of the virus, and even if they were sent out afterwards, they would still be infected, but at that time, they must have already developed a vaccine to detoxify.
So the Uchiha don't have to worry about their lives.
But the Konoha ninjas who can't enter the inner world and suffer from the virus are not necessarily.
Kaguya's kindness is limited to his own people, although he has saved a lot of Konoha ninjas, it doesn't mean that he will send these people into the inner world, after all, there are still a lot of white-eyed wolves!
The Konoha Northern Legion screened out some of the people who were not infected, and temporarily formed a patrol team to prevent the second wave of Sand Shinobi's sneak attack.
In fact, everyone knows that patrols don't mean much, but the current Northern Corps needs some security, even if it's for posturing.
"It hurts......"
"It hurts, my whole body feels like I'm being torn by something!"
"Help, I don't want to die!"
"Tsunade-sama......"
Konoha's medical tent was full of poisoned ninjas, Tsunade was wearing a mask and a white coat, but the white coat had been stained red with blood at this time, and those Konoha ninjas who didn't want to die left a mark when they clutched the corners of Tsunade's clothes and begged.
Tsunade wiped the cold sweat that was constantly seeping from her forehead, the sweat wet her eyes, and her hands trembled and clenched the scalpel. She no longer knew that she was saving the first few people, but she knew that she was not doing enough, even if she could save five or ten people, there were still hundreds or even thousands of people who were infected by the poisonous mist.
Damn the sand ninjas, they used this kind of large-scale infection of air germs just because they had an antidote!
"Tsunada... Tsunade-sama...... I...... Will you survive......
Lying on the hospital bed, the Konoha ninja's eyes were pale, his face was covered with infected bacteria after cell lesions, and the ruptured abscess was flowing with disgusting yellow water.
The man, who was tormented by the virus in his body, endured the pain all over his body and pleaded for a miracle of being able to live with a strong will to survive.
….
He didn't want to die yet, he still had family in Konoha Village, and he promised to go back to see them alive.
"I don't want to die, Tsunade-sama...... Please...... Help me......"
"Stop talking nonsense, you can definitely survive!"
Tsunade's eyes were red, and he simply discarded the scalpel, and now there was no point in removing the infected limb.
The virus has invaded the patient's left limb and has spread to the cells in the body, causing internal organ lesions and heart compression. Tsunade could only comfort the other party while using healing techniques to prolong his life as much as possible.
"Really...... Can you survive...... Thank... Thank you......"
The eyes that gradually widened seemed to give birth to the light of hope, but in the next second, like a meteor streaked across the night sky, hope fell silent in the darkness.
The Konoha ninja didn't survive in the end, and his blood turned from red to pitch black
Holding the arm that contained the will to survive, he finally hung weakly on the side of the bed.
Tsunade looked at the lifeless Konoha ninja in front of her in a daze, her lips trembled, and her hands were still stained with the other party's black blood.
"He's dead, carry it out and replace the next one!"
Immediately, several ninjas ran over and threw the body from the hospital bed, like a worthless rag, and was carried out and thrown into a pit several meters deep that had been dug outside.
At this time, the setting sun shone like blood on the hundreds of corpses in the pit, all of them were pale, their faces were covered with green tendons, and their mouths and noses were dripping with pitch-black blood.
Countless corpses were piled up at the bottom of the pit, some of them were young, some were young, some were middle-aged.
Regardless of whether the other party is a top ninja, a middle ninja, or a recruit's lower ninja, they all turned into a cold corpse at this time, and they were discarded in this deep pit.
No one cares about their stories, just as no one cares about the cries and sorrows of their families after they die.
As several ninjas performed the Fire Escape Ninjutsu, the flames that erupted instantly enveloped the corpses of these tragic deaths.
Rumble......
The scorching fire scorched countless corpses, steaming at high temperatures, black smoke billowing out.
And there are at least four more 100-person pits like this in the vicinity. It's just that the hundred-person pit here has just burned, and the few over there have already turned into pitch black, and it is obvious that the corpses inside have long been burned out.
…………
It's nighttime!
Tsunade didn't know how she had left, she only knew that she felt a chill she had never felt before, she was afraid and blamed herself, and the feeling of seeing her own people lose their lives in her hands was as heavy as a mountain, and Tsunade could barely breathe.
Her hands trembled, and she thought back to the look of anticipation and trust in her mind, believing in them so much that she would be able to save them.
"Hmm......"
Suddenly, his heart moved, his stomach twitched, and Tsunade vomited directly on the ground with a pale face.
Constantly vomiting, as if trying to vomit all my memories.
"Tsunade-sama, please save us......
"Tsunade-sama, I'll be able to survive with you, right?"
The voices of those people as they died kept echoing in her head, and Tsunade's mood was both sad and self-reproachful, it wasn't that she hadn't dealt with similar things, but that didn't mean she could withstand it every time.
….
Every time she looked up at the sky, her eyes were sad and gloomy, and she knew that the death of those people might not be her fault, but the fault was that she gave them hope.
If they had known that they were going to die from the beginning, maybe it would have been easier, because I gave them hope that they shouldn't have been, but let them ...... in the end
Tsunade raised her hand in pain, but she suddenly found that her hands were no longer white, but covered with black blood.
The flowing blood stains flowed from between his fingers and dripped onto the sand at his feet, like the lives of those who had died, and Tsunade took a few steps back with a frightened face on his face.
Tsunade's mental pressure was so great that she seemed to hear the wails of the dead, her eyeholes gradually dilated, she let out heavy breathing, and she began to tremble uncontrollably as she looked at her bloodstained hands.
"Tsunade, what's wrong with you?"
"No, I don't have ......."
"Tsunade?"
Suddenly, as if awakened from a nightmare, Tsunade looked up and saw the man in front of him.
「…… Are you alright?"
The man in front of him was still as expressionless as ever, with a cold face and cold eyes, he looked at the pale and frightened Tsunade with a pale and frightened face, and there was a little worry in his tone. This may be the only mercy and mercy he has left, and it is limited to his fellow soldiers.
Tsunade swallowed
, the face is extremely ugly.
"It's... It's you...... Yes... Orochimaru ......"
"Ah, because I have something important, I came to you."
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with a somewhat flustered expression, people of her personality rarely showed this kind of emotion, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, completely immersed in the emotions of pain and sadness and couldn't extricate herself.
Orochimaru squirmed his lips a few times, but still didn't say anything, because he knew that his words had no meaning of comfort, just to lift the scar on her heart again.
So Orochimaru pretended not to see the tears in the corners of Tsunade's eyes, and just said coldly, "That little ghost is awake, so I'm here to inform you." And maybe he can help with the current situation, maybe we can talk to him."
"Kaguya?"
Tsunade uttered his name like a dream, and suddenly, she seemed to think of something.
That inner world with almost infinite possibilities, a sanctuary that can be insulated from all viruses - if it were his power, maybe he would be able to save the patients here.
Tsunade's eyes lit up as she thought so, but she quickly shook her head in pain.
Thinking back to his bad attitude that day, and Kaguya's heartbroken gaze, his eyes were full of disappointment, hatred, anger, and vicious resentment, which was completely offended by himself, and the anger generated by the great loss.
And the reason for everything is just because of his sentence "You are behind the Uchiha", maybe this sentence completely hurt the other party.
His anger was not because he was targeting the Uchiha, but because all the meaningful proposals he made were completely rejected by his own narrow gaze, ignoring his kind and honest proposals, leaving no room for explanation.
….
Tsunade knew that the boy's self-esteem had been hurt by himself, and it might have something to do with his past experiences.
The boy seemed to be extremely sensitive to this kind of verbal violence, which grasped a little bit and overturned all good intentions and good deeds, and gave him a death sentence without knowing anything, which was too rough.
"Orochimaru...... But I ...... I ...... some time ago He ......"
Tsunade stammered with shame on her face, she had hurt the other party once a while ago, and the cold violence of that kind of words Tsunade realized that it had stung a soft place somewhere in Kaguya's heart, but now it was too late to regret it.
Because the young man's eyes were too cold at that time, if he wasn't the commander, he might have done it a long time ago.
Orochimaru knew that some conflict had broken out between Tsunade and Kaguya, but he didn't expect that this conflict might be beyond his expectations.
Looking at Tsunade's face with an expression of embarrassment, I thought that the contradiction between the two must be not small.
But even so, Orochimaru still insisted that Tsunade go to meet Kaguya, after all, he was now desperate, and if he continued like this, the Northern Legion would be finished.
"Go ahead and try, unless you want to watch everyone here get poisoned alive."
Tsunade's face changed slightly, and Orochimaru's words poked at her weakness.
"And since he saved so many Konoha ninjas, he wants these people to show him his affection." Orochimaru calmly stated his judgment.
"If all these people are dead, then his intentions will also be frustrated, and no matter how much that little imp hates you, he will not let his interests be harmed."
"So intellectually I don't think he's going to say no, and personally—he's not the type to put his feelings above the collective good, but the two girls around him probably won't give up."
Orochimaru's gaze was really vicious, and he could see that Kaguya was actually not difficult to move, but what was really difficult to solve was Yueyong and Baihua, who had never come forward from beginning to end.
Especially Baihua, although she is a very low-key kind in the trio, but a careful analysis can find that she is actually the one with the largest proportion of the three, and she is the only one who can be direct
The people who influenced Kaguya's thoughts, but she never did it, just silently following the former.
"I see, let's try it."
Tsunade was moved by Orochimaru's words and decided to follow him to meet Kaguya.
At this time, Tsunade's heart is complicated, she hopes that Kaguya can help her, but she doesn't want the other party to continue to hold grudges, but at the same time, she also knows what a bad impression she has caused on the other party.
But now, there is no way out, and Tsunade decides that even if it is for the sake of these innocent Konoha compatriots, no matter what happens, he will endure it.
I just hope to be forgiven by Kaguya.
……………
"Kaguya-kun."
Orochimaru and Tsunade came to the tent where Kaguya lived, and as soon as they entered, they saw Kaguya, who had woken up, sitting on the bed and talking to the two girls beside him.
Because the Uchiha were also poisoned, Kaguya let them go to the world to avoid the invasion of the virus.
….
This is also the reason why Orochimaru and Tsunade were able to see Kaguya directly without being hindered by others.
At this time, Kaguya had just learned that what happened after he fell into a coma was too serious, and he didn't expect that the Northern Army would have a large-scale poisoning problem.
He was complacent about thinking that he had saved most of the people.
Orochimaru guessed one thing correctly, that is, Kaguya would not watch so many Konoha ninjas die in front of him, and for him, these are the best propaganda machines to be alive.
If these people returned to the village alive, it would be a great help for both the Uchiha and Kaguya.
So Kaguya won't watch them die, in fact, he's also worried about what to do? And I was very helpless to find that I was helpless.
It's no problem for your world to fight, and you can also admit some people in, but the capacity of the inner world is a drop in the bucket for the Northern Legion, and you won't be able to detoxify.
But when he was at a loss, he was going to discuss with the two girls what to do? But he was surprised to find that Orochimaru actually came to him with Tsunade.
"Orochimaru?"
Kaguya's gaze didn't look at Orochimaru, but at the blonde woman next to him. It's only been a few hours since Tsunade looked much haggard, his face was pale, there was not a trace of blood, his eyes were sunken, and he had thick dark circles.
In Kaguya's memory, Tsunade had never been so vulnerable, and he looked like he was sick, as if he was going to have a nervous breakdown at any moment.
"You..."
The meeting frowned, he could roughly imagine that the reason why the two people came to him was really because of what happened before, and he and these two people had broken out conflicts to varying degrees.
So for a moment, Kaguya didn't know how to talk to the two of them.
