Chapter 76: Massacre of the Sunagakure Forces
"Not good! A Konoha shinobi is attacking!"
A panicked Sunagakure ninja dashed through the base, his face pale with fear.
"What did you say?! That's impossible! Why would Konoha dare to attack us here?" Chiyo snapped in disbelief.
"How many are there?" Ebizō asked calmly beside her.
"Only… two people."
"Two?! That's absurd!" Chiyo's eyes widened in shock.
"It's true! Just two. One is the Princess Tsunade from Konoha, and the other is a young man with silver hair."
"Tsunade? That brat Jiraiya again?" Chiyo sneered coldly.
"No, Chiyo-sama. This guy isn't Jiraiya. His hair is silver, just like the White Fang, Hatake Sakumo."
"The White Fang's… student?" Chiyo's expression darkened with killing intent.
"Go. I want to make the White Fang feel the pain of losing someone he cares about." Her voice dripped with venom.
"Don't be reckless, Sister. If the enemy dares to come with just two people, it can only mean one thing—there's a trap," Ebizō warned cautiously.
"A trap? Hmph! Even if the Hokage himself came, so what?!" Chiyo snapped, unimpressed.
"No… Sister, I think I know who that silver-haired boy is." Ebizō's tone turned serious.
"Who is he?" Chiyo asked sharply.
"He's a monster from Konoha. A young man who once defeated Pakura of Sunagakure, fought Hanzo the Salamander without losing… then vanished for four years, only to reappear now."
"So what?! We have a massive army! There's no way two brats can defeat all of us! Listen up—mobilize every unit! Hunt down that kid who looks like the White Fang and kill him!" Chiyo roared, no longer holding back her fury.
"Yes, ma'am!" The Sunagakure shinobi rushed to carry out her orders, while Ebizō could only sigh. Once Chiyo made up her mind, there was no stopping her.

On the frontlines, Hatake Yusuke and Tsunade were calmly approaching the enemy stronghold.
"Tsunade, today will be your grave!"
Chiyo appeared before them, her voice sharp and filled with hatred.
"Old hag, you're overconfident as always," Tsunade shot back with a mocking smirk.
"All troops—prepare for battle!" Chiyo commanded, raising her hand.
"Tsunade, stay here," Yusuke said with a small smile.
"Be careful," she replied gently, full of trust in him.
Yusuke stepped forward alone, facing thousands of enemy shinobi. A terrifying aura began to radiate from him, instantly suppressing the battlefield.
"You brat… think you can stop Sunagakure's army all by yourself? You're asking to die!" Chiyo scoffed.
"What's your relation to Hatake Sakumo, the White Fang?" she asked again, eyes burning with hate.
"Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang... is my father," Yusuke answered coldly.
"Perfect! Then I'll kill you first—to make your father suffer—then I'll kill him too!" Chiyo cackled like a madwoman.
"You think you can kill me?" Yusuke sneered. "What a joke."
The Sunagakure army surged forward like a tidal wave.
Yusuke drew Enma, his eyes flashing with chilling light.
"Come," he said calmly. "Let's fight."
With each step he took, someone died. With each swing of his blade, blood splashed and bodies dropped.
"Wind Release: Kamaitachi! Whirlwind Dance!"
Hundreds of slicing wind blades swept in from all directions.
Yusuke raised Enma, blocking the attacks even as some forced him back. He smirked, blood dripping from his lip. "Yeah… this is more like it."
"Fire Fist: Gatling Gun!"
His fists punched through the air at lightning speed, each one bursting into flames like a meteor shower. The heat, a fusion of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and Mera Mera no Mi, scorched the battlefield.
"Stop him!" Chiyo shouted frantically.
"Puppet Technique: Three Treasures Suction Crush!"
Three strange puppets formed a vortex, trying to suck in Yusuke's fire punches. But some flames slipped through, burning Sunagakure shinobi alive.
"Not bad… worthy of a Kage-class veteran," Yusuke muttered, narrowing his eyes.
"Don't get cocky, brat!" Chiyo growled. "Ten Puppet Collection of Chikamatsu!"
Ten legendary puppets appeared, each one a deadly trap powered by her immense chakra.
One puppet flew straight at Yusuke, its spinning body unleashing thousands of toxic green needles.
Yusuke didn't flinch. He clenched his fist.
"Fire Fist!"
A massive fireball exploded forward. But the needles pierced through it, unscathed.
"Fool! These puppets are made from the toughest materials. Your flames are useless!" Chiyo taunted.
"Is that so?" Yusuke's eyes turned cold.
"Gura Gura no Mi: Quake Punch!"
A white tremor surged around his arm as he punched the air. The vibrations shattered the poison needles mid-air.
"White Secret Attack Blades!" The puppets struck again with sword-like extensions.
Yusuke blocked with Enma and countered with another Quake Punch. The nearest puppet exploded, gears and wood scattering everywhere.
"No matter what you throw at me... if it's manmade, one punch is enough to break it."
One by one, Chiyo's legendary puppets were smashed to pieces.
"How… how is this possible?!" Chiyo was drenched in cold sweat.
"It's not impossible. You simply don't understand real power. And you dared to threaten my father? You're out of your depth." Yusuke's voice was razor sharp.
"I lost… If you want to kill me, just do it," Chiyo said, trembling.
"Who said I'd kill you?" Yusuke lowered his sword. "Go home. Tell Rasa: if Sunagakure doesn't retreat from this war, I'll personally visit your village next."
"You… you're sparing me?" Chiyo asked in disbelief.
"Of course. But… insulting my father can't go unpunished." Yusuke's eyes narrowed. "Every single one of your soldiers—will die."
"No! Stop! Please!" Chiyo screamed in desperation.
"Quake Blade: Sphere Break!"
Yusuke raised Enma, infusing it with the Gura Gura no Mi's power. He slashed forward, unleashing a glowing white orb that soared into the enemy ranks.
The air cracked. The desert floor shattered. Then—BOOM.
A cataclysmic explosion erupted. The ground split, formations collapsed, and the screams of thousands were silenced in an instant.
Within moments, the entire Sunagakure strike force was annihilated. Not a body remained intact.
Only Chiyo and Ebizō survived, pale and trembling.
Yusuke turned to Tsunade, who had been quietly watching from behind.
"Let's go," he said.
Without another glance at Chiyo, he carved a path through the destruction and walked away.
Chiyo collapsed to her knees, her eyes vacant. "No… no… this can't be…"
"Sister, please! Snap out of it! Sunagakure still needs you!" Ebizō tried to shake her from her stupor.
Slowly, Chiyo came to her senses. Tears spilled down her cheeks.
"We… we have to return. We can't fight anymore. If this continues, Sunagakure will disappear from the shinobi world…"
She turned back to the battlefield—now a broken wasteland. It looked like hell itself.
And all of it… was the work of one man—Hatake Yusuke.
