The atmosphere on the battlefield froze.
Many of Konoha's Ninjas slowed down their movements until they stopped, and the Sand Ninjas were the same, all of them were looking at Maples.
Chiyo used a clone to try to kill Maples in one fell swoop when Maples's vigilance was at its lowest. Countless Konoha's Ninjas were horrified, but Maples avoided the fatal attack and completely defeated Chiyo.
After that.
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Chiyo, who was flying backward, and shot her down from the sky, nailing her to the ground with his Kusanagi sword.
Even if they weren't perceptive Ninjas, Konoha's and the Rock's Ninjas could feel that Chiyo's Chakra weakened and eventually disappeared completely.
That wasn't a clone.
That was the real body.
The complete disappearance of Chakra means death.
"…"
Someone swallowed his saliva and said in a very small voice, "That Chiyo, is dead?!"
This voice seemed to ignite the fuse of a bomb, and the frozen battlefield finally exploded. Shock, shock, horror, excitement, and other emotions intertwined on the faces of Konoha's Ninjas and the Sand's Ninjas.
"She's dead!"
Some perceptive Ninjas took a deep breath and confirmed this fact.
For Konoha's Ninjas, Chiyo was a terrifying existence, not only because of her terrifying poison, but also because of her achievements in World War II. Even if she lost to White Fang, she still managed to escape and survive.
She was an extremely powerful Ninja, a famous existence in the world of Shinobi. She was fundamentally different from Pakura, who wasn't famous yet.
Now.
Such a Ninja, the pillar of the Sand Village, died!
It can be said that from this moment on, Konoha's victory in this war has been set. Even if Maples didn't do anything, the Sand Ninjas were already defeated.
Although Kaede was incredibly young, and he was only a Tokubetsu Jonin, he killed Elder Chiyo of Sunagakure on the battlefield, and that's enough to be regarded as Konoha's hero!
"Do it!"
"The war isn't over yet!"
No one knew who shouted, but the battlefield that had been frozen for a short while erupted once again.
Compared to Konoha's Shinobis, the Sand's Shinobis were in a state of panic. They didn't know if this war would continue after Chiyo's death.
Once this kind of hesitation appears, it means that the balance of the positive situation is broken, and the front line is beginning to push in the direction of the Sand Ninjas. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
Especially.
Some nearby Sand Ninjas looked at the Maples.
Their eyes were filled with fear, even though they could see through the silver light that Maples was at most a teenager, but the strength he showed when he killed Chiyo made Maples one of the most terrifying Shinobi on the battlefield!
"Trash …"
Kazekage Rasa's eyes were cold.
After being defeated by White Fang and then killed by White Fang's son, there was nothing more humiliating than this. However, this also meant that this war was almost over.
All the responsibility for the defeat could be pushed to the dead Chiyo, Pakura, and Ebizo. The voices of opposition in the village were swept away.
"Retreat!"
His goal has been achieved, and Rasa didn't intend to continue this meaningless battle. He decisively issued the order to retreat, and the nearby Sand Ninjas finally began to flee.
Jiraiya didn't intend to let Rasa go, but after chasing for a while, Rasa used Magnet Release to manipulate the golden sand and directly escaped into the ground, disappearing in an instant.
There were perceptive Ninjas watching Rasa, giving Jiraiya directions to chase, but he couldn't keep up with Rasa's speed and was eventually left behind.
Maples wasn't completely idle.
He maintained the state of the Hachimon Tonkou and symbolically killed some nearby Sand Ninjas, killing about a dozen of them, most of which were Jonins.
Compared to the shock of killing Chiyo, this didn't seem so eye-catching. Tsunade quickly rushed over to join Maples.
Noticing Tsunade's arrival, Maples thought for a moment and no longer used Time Reversal to maintain the state, and closed the Hachimon Tonkou.
"Cough …"
Maples, who had closed the Hachimon Tonkou, staggered.
Because this time he didn't use Time Reversal to return to the state before opening the Hachimon Tonkou, but closed the Hachimon Tonkou normally, the side effects immediately manifested, and he coughed up blood.
"Maples!"
Tsunade immediately supported Maples and injected Chakra into his body. After checking the condition of Maples, she immediately showed a serious look.
She glanced at the defeated Sand Ninjas and no longer continued to chase. She picked up Maples and quickly retreated to the rear of the battlefield while using medical Ninjutsu.
"Is this the side effect of your technique? How can it be so bad? "
Tsunade looked at the pale face of Maples and frowned. She previously guessed that Maples's burst of power shouldn't come without a price, but now it seems that the price was greater than she expected. His body was almost a mess.
Maples coughed and didn't struggle, letting Tsunade treat him, and said with a faint smile: "In order to obtain great power, you have to pay a price. This is forbidden Jutsu. Shouldn't Tsunade-sama understand this … cough … cough …"
If it was an ordinary Ninja, most of them wouldn't be able to keep calm at this time, but Maples was very calm, because even if Tsunade couldn't cure him, he could use Time Reversal to instantly recover.
Being held by Tsunade like this made him feel that it was good to experience the feeling of being wounded occasionally.
"But the price of your technique is too high!"
Tsunade has roughly judged Maples's injury, and she said solemnly: "This degree of injury, even if it's me, I'm only 70% or 80% sure that I can cure it."
The damage caused by the fourth gate of the Hachimon Hidden Gates was at most muscle rupture. But the Hachimon Lightning Release that Maple Night had developed caused the Lightning Chakra to go berserk within the body. The side effects weren't just muscle damage, but also severe damage to the meridians.
"Some forbidden Jutsu are at the cost of death, but as expected of Tsunade-sama, even with my injury, you're 70% or 80% sure that you can cure it … cough … cough … your medical skills are indeed the best in the Ninja World …"
Maples smiled indifferently, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, as if he wasn't injured.
"Shut up now!"
Tsunade glared at Maples and retreated to a safe position on the battlefield, and shouted at the medical team that had already caught up:
"Stretcher!"
Two medical ninjas immediately rushed over with a stretcher, put Maples on the stretcher, and evacuated to the rear of the battlefield. Tsunade followed closely behind, one hand on Maples's chest, and continued to release light green fluorescent Chakra to maintain the medical ninjutsu.
Tsunade wanted to scold Maples for using a forbidden Jutsu with such a side effect, but then she thought that if Maples didn't use this forbidden Jutsu, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Chiyo. Even if she and Maples joined forces, they wouldn't be able to deal with Chiyo.
This made it impossible for her to scold him.
She could only take a deep breath and maintain all her attention on Maples's treatment.
"Focus … Focus … Focus …"
Tsunade kept muttering in her heart. She knew that in order to treat Maples's injury, the chakra in her body couldn't be unstable, which meant that she absolutely couldn't be affected by the hematophobia.
Originally, her hematophobia was almost healed. At this time, under her strong will, she finally broke through the shackles, and the chakra in her body was no longer stagnant!
Her hematophobia was completely cured!
