Chapter 86: Agony
In the dense forest near the border of the land of fire,
Tsunade along with Kurenai and Shizune jumped from tree to tree moving forward quickly. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
"Sensei, is there a town nearby"
Kurenai was annoyed by the weather today and couldn't wait to leave this ghostly forest.
And there was also this bad feeling that has been worrying her since the morning.
"Don't worry, just a few miles from here there is a town"
The border of the land of fire was quite near the grass village so they entered the fire nation.
They have been visiting every Casino of the Ninja World so they decided that the Casino of the whole land of fire would be their next destination.
Due to Tsunade losing every bet, they can't stay at a place for long since debt collectors are always looking for her.
"This..."
The three of them suddenly stopped as they reached a clear field but were left stunned by the sight in front.
The area around 1000m in front was completely razed, as uprooted trees, destroyed rocks, and numerous deep slash marks were everywhere.
There were numerous potholes everywhere around as the ground in front was destroyed.
But what caused them to be stunned was the long divided terrain which was hundreds of meters long and equally deep as well.
"What happened here?"
Kurenai broke the silence as she couldn't help but ask.
"It seems that a fight occurred here"
Tsunade said while looking at the battlefield.
"Who is so strong to cause such devastation"
"No!!! No!!! No!!!"
Kurenai screamed in her heart hoping the sight in front to be an illusion but as she kept moving forward the face of the figure became clearer and clearer.
"Ahhh"
Kurenai screamed with all her might as she fell beside the corpse and she touched its face with trembling hands.
"Wake up! Please Wake up, Kozuki! don't leave me alone, Please!!!!
Kurenai with tears falling continuously from her eyes shook the lifeless body in front but there was no response
Tsunade and Shizune who were sad after seeing the corpse of Sarutobi heard the wailing of Kurenai and immediately arrived near her.
"No!!! How is this possible?"
Shizune who arrived near Kurenai saw the corpse in front and recognized it immediately.
She also fell beside the corpse and shook it violently but like before no response came.
"Who...who did this..."
Tsunade roared in anger after seeing the corpse of Kozuki in front.
"Please, Wake up Kozuki,"
Kurenai and Shizune didn't care for her anger as they cried in agony and despair.
Hearing them cry, Tsunade calmed herself as she sat beside her disciples and hugged them both.
Soon, both Kurenai and Shizune passed out by the shock as they lay quiet and exhausted in the embrace of Tsunade.
Tsunade placed them both carefully on the side as she made several seals and placed her hands on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu"
A small green slug appeared as Tsunade immediately ordered the slug to report the situation here to Konoha through reverse summoning.
