Chapter 539 The Death of Asuma
On the other side, a smoke and dust explosion occurred, and after the smoke dissipated...
One of the four suddenly acquired a shield, which evolved into the shape of a green tortoise, firmly protecting the four of them together.
Sarutobi Asuma's ninjutsu had no effect, but before he could react, someone had already moved behind him.
Asuma forcefully twisted his body, using the chakra blade in his left hand to block the short blade on his left, while his right hand slashed back at the android's skull.
The opponent neither dodged nor attacked; his hard skull actually withstood his Flying Swallow Slash.
"What exactly are you?" Asuma's eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically.
With a ripping sound, a scratch appeared on his abdomen. He kicked the man away, his feet landing on the ground and dragging him half a step back.
"Damn it!" He clutched his stomach with one hand, his face contorted in pain.
Just as he bit his finger, preparing to use his spiritual powers, countless thin, almost imperceptible threads appeared around his body.
The ends of these threads were tied in the hands of a female android.
When he realized something was wrong, he was already unable to move his body.
"When?" Asuma was greatly shocked.
He tried to break free of the steel wires, but they were far stronger than he had imagined, and the more he struggled, the tighter they became.
The android gave him no chance to struggle, pouring in wind-style chakra, and the threads were pulled back quickly.
"Asuma, how are you?" Tsunade and the others finally arrived, and she asked with a hand on Asuma's shoulder.
With just a light touch, Asuma's body instantly turned into a pile of minced meat.
At that moment, Tsunade and the others froze on the spot, especially Tsunade, whose heart and breathing suddenly stopped.
"Asuma!"
However, the next second, she clenched her fists and roared, "Absolutely unforgivable!"
She had clearly promised Kurenai Yuhi before, but she didn't expect that her words would be proven wrong so easily in just a few seconds.
Damn it, Asuma's baby will be born in a few months; he'll be a father soon. Why now of all times...?
Tsunade gritted her teeth, suddenly exerted force, and threw a powerful punch. "These guys who suddenly appeared are simply unforgivable."
"Tsunade, who is trying to obstruct us, has been detected. Strength verification begins." The androids remained expressionless.
The android wielding the turtle shield stepped forward and took the hit head-on, but Tsunade's angry punch shattered the shield completely.
The fourth android was hit hard, and all its internal organs ruptured.
However, the external skeletal structure maintained a high degree of mobility, using all its strength to support Tsunade, and then a red light flashed from between its eyebrows.
"Oh no, he's going to explode!" Kakashi immediately flashed to Tsunade's side, grabbed his arm, and teleported him to another corner of the village.
Finally, number four roared loudly from its spot.
At that moment, Naruto and the others finally arrived. Upon seeing Ichimoku before them, they immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "You damned bastard! Don't you dare destroy our village! Kongo Seal!"
A surge of powerful chakra erupted from his body, and before the fiery slash of the Vermilion Bird Blade No. 1 could be unleashed, it was firmly bound by the Vajra Chains.
"I can't break free, I can't break free!" The android's eyes were glazed over, then glowed red, and with an explosion, dust flew everywhere.
Gaara raised his sand shield, protecting Naruto tightly within his body before the explosion, and hugged him, asking, "Naruto, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, thank you, Gaara!" He brushed the dust off his clothes, but his face was still sad because his Uncle Sarutobi Asuma had died.
Two of the androids had already been destroyed, and the other two were beyond saving. With everyone's combined efforts, they were completely shattered into pieces.
Looking at the metal skeletons that had been dismantled inside, and the devices that were about to explode, everyone frowned.
"This doesn't seem like the methods of that demon?"
"Impossible. Besides that demon, who in this world would harbor such malice towards Konoha?"
At this moment, Tsunade walked over and carefully examined the android's creation, saying, "Perhaps it wasn't malicious, but just a test against us. High-performance explosives, but only version eleven."
In the final battle, Deidara, who was most skilled at using bombs, shouted out the number 12 or higher bombs. This number 11 was clearly out of the question for him, and its power was far inferior.
Although they all live in an alternate dimension, they are not entirely unaware of news from the outside world.
In recent months, Kakashi Hatake has frequently traveled to the outside world to replenish their essential supplies, such as salt, or to obtain high-energy pills. He also listens to news from the outside world.
The mysterious defection from the Snow Country base is no longer a secret.
"Perhaps there is another organization in this world, an organization we don't know about, rebelling against the rule of demons. Their visit this time may just be a test, a test of whether we have the strength to cooperate with them."
Naruto, seeing the mangled corpses scattered on the ground, shouted, "Is this what they call a test? They came here to kill and rob; it's unforgivable. No matter what happens or what the reason, I will not cooperate with them."
"Yes, we won't either!" the other arriving companions echoed in unison.
Tsunade frowned slightly and said, "I never intended to cooperate with them. These people have crossed our bottom line. They are essentially no different from demons; they all want to rule the world."
"Naruto, Sasuke, you will bear a heavy burden in the future. I hope you will not let us down."
"Asuma! Asuma!" Despite being stopped, Kurenai Yuhi secretly ran over. Seeing the shattered corpses on the ground, she cried and rushed over, wanting to hold them in her arms.
"You promised you'd be alright!"
"You haven't named the child yet, and you haven't even seen if it's a girl or a boy?"
Sadness spread through his heart, as if his heart was being squeezed, followed by a sharp pain in his chest.
Kurenai Yuhi suddenly blacked out and fainted completely.
Seeing this, the surrounding people immediately panicked and scrambled to get to the hospital. Tsunade shouted, "Quick, get him to the hospital!"
Then, glaring at Shizune, he said, "Didn't I tell you to stop him? Who gave her permission to come over?"
"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, I couldn't stop her." Shizune said, her head bowed.
At this moment, Tsunade calmed down: "It's not your fault."
Fortunately, Kurenai was only overwhelmed with emotion and did not harm the baby in her womb.
Three days later, at Asuma's funeral, Tsunade made a decision: "Everyone, we can no longer remain stagnant."
