Capítulo 42: MSIN: Chapter 42 [Shout out Kazahana]
---
Whether it's a strategy of "encircling Wei to rescue Zhao" or "creating a diversion," Tsunade's plan is simple: to disperse the Sand shinobi's attention and their direction of attack.
(ShixT9: Some chinese strategy probably from Sun Tzu )
She can't let all the Sand shinobi charge towards Kushina. Otherwise, even if she no longer needs to restrain the Tailed Beast, she can't guarantee her safety in that situation.
Tsunade isn't really trying to steal the Sand shinobi's Shukaku. Compared to the benefits of killing the Nine-Tails, the Sand shinobi can't afford to lose Shukaku.
Killing the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki weakens Leaf's combat strength, while losing Shukaku is equivalent to losing the Sand Village's greatest deterrent. They can tell the difference between the two.
"Sister, Leaf's Sealing Squad is advancing!"
Ebizō suddenly appeared behind Chiyo, and the Sand shinobi immediately noticed Leaf's intentions.
Leaf is also a bit bloodthirsty at this point. They've completely abandoned the protection of headquarters and non-combatants, instead choosing to control Shukaku.
Tailed Beasts are an important factor in maintaining the balance of power between the ninja villages. Whether in war or peacetime, no ninja village can afford to lose a Tailed Beast.
In terms of high-level combat strength, the Sand Village has Shukaku, which was previously uncontrollable and is now out of the fight, as well as Chiyo and her younger brother, Ebizō.
Leaf has Tsunade and Kushina.
This is an uneven comparison. Tsunade is holding back Chiyo, Kushina is dealing with Shukaku, and Ebizō could easily break free to join the battle.
However, he can't. As mentioned earlier, Shukaku is uncontrollable, and Ebizō's task is to watch over, control, and, if necessary, retrieve Shukaku.
So, he's busy enough. The Kazekage isn't completely brainless. He dared to bring Shukaku to the battlefield, so he must have a way to retrieve it.
That way is Ebizō. His task is Shukaku itself. He doesn't have to worry about anything else.
Now, Kushina is Leaf's protected target, and Shukaku is the Sand Village's protected target.
Kushina still has the strength to fight, while Shukaku has turned into a pile of sand.
The Sand shinobi are recklessly charging towards Kushina, while Leaf's Sealing Squad is attacking Shukaku.
That's why Ebizō reminded Chiyo.
"I'll take care of Tsunade. Ebizō, you retrieve Shukaku immediately. Once you've completed the task, leave the battlefield and retreat back to the village. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just make sure to protect Shukaku." Chiyo commanded decisively.
Right now, the most important thing is to retrieve Shukaku before Leaf's Sealing Squad can. So Ebizō doesn't say a word and, after nodding, quickly rushes towards Shukaku with a team of Sand shinobi.
Reaching Shukaku at a speed that's completely incompatible with his age, Ebizō immediately slams his hands onto the ground!
Summoning Jutsu!
A giant sand pot appears beside Ebizō, and he begins to direct his subordinates, dealing with the Leaf Sealing Squad while setting up his sealing formation. They plan to seal Shukaku back into the sand pot and then escort the Tailed Beast away quickly.
This is probably the only advantage of Shukaku losing its ability to resist. Retrieving it is basically unimpeded.
Twelve Sand shinobi stand around Shukaku. After setting up the formation, they almost simultaneously make hand seals, and Shukaku's scattered sand body flows into the sand pot beside Ebizō in an instant.
Then, Ebizō closes the lid of the sand pot, sticks on one last special paper seal, makes the final hand seal, and the paper seal disappears into the sand pot.
Ebizō's withered body immediately lifts the sand pot and begins to retreat quickly from the battlefield!
Before leaving, he glances back at his sister, who is still engaged in a fierce battle with Tsunade.
No matter what, the Sand Village's attack, which cost them a great deal, has failed. And in fact, bringing Shukaku, a powerful but uncontrollable beast, to the front lines wasn't a good idea.
Ebizō's actions, of course, don't escape the eyes of the Leaf shinobi. After he leaves, dozens of Leaf shinobi give chase. If they can reclaim Shukaku, it would be a huge blow to the Sand Village.
However, this is basically impossible. Not to mention the guards Ebizō brought with him, he alone could handle Leaf's pursuit team.
...
Let's turn back to Haori and Kushina. After Shukaku is taken away, the Sand shinobi become even more reckless. Their attacks can only be described as frenzied.
"Kushina-sensei, Shukaku is gone." Haori said to Kushina while taking out an enemy beside him.
"Yeah, so these guys are even more reckless. They're all charging towards us." The Nine-Tails chakra cloak around Kushina has already manifested six tails. This is the limit she can control freely. Going any further would be a stretch.
"I think we should make a run for it." Haori suggested. Now that Shukaku is gone, Kushina's presence here is no longer significant. For her safety, she should leave the battlefield as soon as possible.
It's not that Haori and Kushina are out of fighting strength. They can hold out for a while, but it's pointless. The Sand shinobi keep coming, and even if you kill one group, more will come.
And because of Kushina, Leaf shinobi can't really let loose. That's why Haori suggests making a run for it. On the one hand, it protects Kushina's safety, and on the other hand, it allows Leaf shinobi to fight with all their might, instead of having to spend a lot of energy protecting her.
"Make a run for it? You make it sound easy. How are we going to do that?" Kushina looks at the Sand shinobi's encirclement and says helplessly. In the eyes of the Sand shinobi, Kushina's crimson chakra cloak is more conspicuous and attracts more aggro than Haori's bright lightning aura!
In this world, there are ninjas who can do 1v50 and still take them out in an instant. But that's not Haori, and it's not Kushina.
There are also ninjas who can do 1v10,000 and still fight spectacularly.
But there are no ninjas who can do 1v10,000 and win.
In fact, that one badass who did 1v10,000 was beaten up for three days and three nights and then beaten to death miserably...
He can be considered the most tragic figure of the Third Shinobi World War. He can also be ranked among the top ten most touching middle-aged ninjas.
But their fighting styles are different. In this kind of uneven battle, even if Haori and Kushina are strong, they can't reach that level. They can hold out against the Sand shinobi, but they're not optimistic about the outcome.
Unless Kushina goes berserk...
