Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Ninja Crisis – Tsunade Returns!
As the immense energy in Reiki's body stabilized and circulated, Gujia, standing beside him, couldn't help but stare in disbelief. The changes in Reiki's body were nothing short of extraordinary. He had grown exponentially stronger in such a short time, with no sign of stopping.
"How is this possible…? Just how talented is this kid?" Gujia thought, her wide eyes betraying her astonishment.
Reiki turned to her, extending his hand. "Gujia, lend me your power."
"Hmph," Gujia replied, crossing her arms with a proud expression. "Although you haven't fully earned my approval, the enemy you're facing is a threat born of our Sage Land. So, I'll lend it to you... for now."
"Thank you," Reiki said with a small smile, grasping her delicate hand. Her touch was cool and soft, like holding water.
Reiki's grip tightened on the Murasame as he felt Gujia's power flow into him. The cursed blade in his hand transformed, its black surface gleaming with the addition of pink dragon scales, an unmistakable sign of Gujia's energy merging with Reiki's own.
"Keji, are you ready?" Reiki asked, his voice cold. "I don't want to save you, but I will—for the sole purpose of killing you afterward."
Before Keji could respond, Reiki disappeared in a blur, reappearing directly before the Evil God.
Boom!
Reiki's blade slashed downward with devastating force. Keji barely reacted in time, using the Evil God's energy to block the attack. The impact hurled him backward, and the ground beneath them shattered into ruins under the force of Reiki's power.
Meanwhile, away from the battlefield, Al had taken charge of evacuating the ninjas. Using his immense spatial abilities, he transported everyone to a distant plain, far from the chaos. As the disoriented group began to gather their bearings, a grim announcement followed.
"Listen," Al began, his calm voice carrying an edge of urgency. "Most of you have been exposed to the Evil God's energy. In less than five hours, the chakra in your bodies will be fully assimilated, and you'll start to disintegrate—both body and soul."
The group froze in shock. Namikaze Minato's face darkened. "You mean... we'll become like the Evil God's puppets?"
Al nodded. "Yes. Once the energy ignites inside you, there's no coming back. Even reincarnation techniques won't save you because there'll be nothing left of your soul or body."
A tense silence fell over the crowd as the weight of Al's words sank in.
"You have three choices," Al continued. "First, seal yourselves using advanced techniques and let me take you somewhere safe. Reiki will handle the rest once he's done here. Second, find a powerful medical ninja to remove the energy from your bodies. Third... wait for death."
The gravity of the situation caused emotions to erupt among the gathered ninjas.
"Reiki won't abandon us!" one ninja shouted.
"But he doesn't even know we're in this condition!" another countered.
"If we die, we die as ninjas. Protecting the world is our duty," a younger ninja said with determination, though their voice trembled with fear.
Despite their brave words, the weight of imminent death loomed heavy. Many of the young shinobi were on the cusp of their brightest years, looking forward to lives filled with love, friendship, and purpose. Facing the reality of their mortality now was almost unbearable.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground trembled as a massive summoning beast emerged from beneath them. The air was thick with terror as a giant serpent, Manda, appeared, its dragon-like horns and aura exuding dominance.
Before anyone could react, Manda lowered its head submissively, bowing before Al, who stood impassively nearby.
"What's going on here?" Orochimaru's voice cut through the confusion as he stepped forward, his face a mix of surprise and intrigue. "Even Manda wouldn't bow like this... unless..."
His gaze shifted to Al and the others. Realization dawned on his face—it was the suppression of bloodline. Even the proud and powerful Manda couldn't defy someone like Al.
Two figures flanked Orochimaru. One was dark and foreboding, while the other radiated confidence and strength.
"Tsunade!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
The legendary medical ninja, having returned from her training in Sage Land, stood tall. Her golden hair gleamed under the sunlight, and her presence carried a palpable reassurance.
"I heard the situation from Orochimaru," Tsunade began, her voice firm yet compassionate. "Between the two of us, we can extract that cursed energy from your bodies."
Namikaze Minato stepped forward, his expression resolute. "I'll go first."
With the return of Tsunade, hope sparked among the group. Her unmatched expertise in medical ninjutsu combined with Orochimaru's mastery of seals offered a glimmer of salvation.
Yet, even as Tsunade prepared to begin her work, the distant roar of the ongoing battle between Reiki and the Evil God reminded them all of the stakes. The fight for their survival—and the world—was far from over.
