Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: One's life passing before one's eyes like a revolving lantern (a Chinese idiom referring to a vivid recollection of one's life at a critical moment)

Tsunade, with her eyes covered, rubbed her fists and walked towards Kamishiro and Jiraiya.

It was obvious to anyone that Tsunade was going to beat the hell out of the two of them today, and it was going to be a bloody one.

Kamishiro felt like crying. He was just a puppet - maker. He made puppets according to the customers' requirements. What did it have to do with him?

Tsunade jumped forcefully with both feet, cracking the ground beneath her. She raised her fist and slammed it towards Jiraiya.

Jiraiya instantly felt a chill run down his spine and immediately dodged to the side.

Tsunade's fist landed on the puppet, which instantly turned into pieces like Tofu.

Finally, Tsunade's fist landed on the ground.

"Boom!"

A huge hole was actually smashed into the ground.

Kamishiro and Jiraiya stared wide - eyed at the hole on the ground.

Kamishiro gasped. If he got hit by such a punch, it would hurt for a long time, right?

Jiraiya, with his scalp tingling, shouted at Tsunade, "Hey, there's no need to use your freakish strength!"

Jiraiya noticed that Tsunade had straightened up and was facing him again. He immediately begged for mercy, "I, I was wrong, Tsunade. Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"

Tsunade shook her right hand to shake off the dust on it. She smiled at Jiraiya and said, "You ain't wrong. How could you ever be wrong? It's my bad. When you peeped at the women's hot spring back then, I should have killed you instead of just breaking your six ribs. Today! I'm going to correct my mistake back then!"

Tsunade rushed towards Jiraiya again. Jiraiya shivered all over. He realized that Tsunade was serious this time. He turned around, broke through the tent, and tried to run away.

Seeing that Tsunade was chasing Jiraiya, Kamishiro immediately ran in the opposite direction.

If he didn't run, what awaited him later would be even worse than a simple beating.

Jiraiya's legs were moving at breakneck speed.

And Tsunade had leapt into the air. Her left leg was bent, and her right leg was straight. In a Drop Kick posture, she kicked towards Jiraiya.

"Die!"

Tsunade's right foot heavily kicked Jiraiya on the back.

"Pfft~"

Jiraiya spat out a mouthful of blood and then rolled on the ground like a ball.

Jiraiya knocked over several tents and several trees before finally stopping.

Lying on the ground with blood oozing from his mouth, Jiraiya saw a series of images in his mind.

"Is... is this my life passing before my eyes like a revolving lantern?"

Jiraiya murmured weakly, feeling that he was breathing out more air than taking in.

If he were given another chance... another chance, he would definitely ask Kamishiro to make a puppet that was an exact replica of Tsunade!

Anyway, he was going to get beaten up. He might as well be bolder!

Tsunade stood beside Jiraiya. Since her eyes were covered with a cloth, she couldn't see Jiraiya's blood.

Tsunade's smile never faded. She said to Jiraiya, "Don't worry. Soon a medical ninja will come to treat you. You're not going to die."

Jiraiya said laboriously, "I... I have something very important to tell you... Tsunade..."

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, tell me now. After you're done, I still want to punch you in the face. Don't worry, I won't use my freakish strength next time."

Jiraiya struggled to lift his hand. "Over there, that Kamishiro kid... I just saw him running away... Hurry up and go beat him up!"

The vengeful Jiraiya was grinding his teeth in anger. He remembered that earlier, Kamishiro had said he'd made the puppet for him only because he was under Jiraiya's tyranny.

Although he'd kind of thrown Kamishiro under the bus before, Kamishiro didn't have to say that, right?

Moreover, it was Kamishiro who'd made him kiss that puppet. After all, he hadn't wanted to kiss it in the first place!

If Kamishiro hadn't said that, maybe his injuries would have been less severe.

And he'd even seen his One's life passing before one's eyes like a revolving lantern after being beaten by Tsunade. Now Tsunade still wanted to punch him in the face. So Jiraiya decided to throw Kamishiro under the bus again and let Tsunade go after him.

Tsunade looked in the direction Jiraiya was pointing and saw Kamishiro running forward with his short legs moving even faster than Jiraiya's earlier.

Kamishiro was extremely scared now. If that kick Tsunade had given Jiraiya landed on him, it wouldn't be a matter of pain; it would be a matter of whether he could survive or not.

So he had to find a backer...

But Kamishiro didn't know anyone in Konoha's camp. The only one who could be his backer, Minato Namikaze, wasn't in Konoha's camp right now.

Damn it! That perverted Jiraiya is really gonna get me killed!

Tsunade was distracted by Jiraiya and attracted by the fleeing Kamishiro.

The commotion here caught the attention of many people, including Kakashi and Obito.

Kakashi and Obito thought Konoha's camp was under attack and rushed out in a hurry.

Obito didn't care about being cool anymore. He shouted anxiously, "What's going on? Are the Cloud Ninjas attacking our camp?"

Obito saw a small figure approaching from afar.

Fortunately, it was daytime, so he could see clearly even with his sunglasses on.

"Is this... Kamishiro?"

Obito looked at the running Kamishiro with a puzzled expression because right now Kamishiro had snot and tears on his face, looking extremely panicked.

Obito shouted, "Kamishiro, what's wrong with you?!"

When Kamishiro saw Obito, he didn't care anymore and pleaded with Obito, "Obito, help me! Save me!"

Obito's expression immediately became solemn. He thought Konoha's camp must really be under attack.

Because Obito could feel that Kamishiro was really terrified right now.

Obito took out his Kunai and seriously asked, "Kamishiro, where are the enemies?"

Just as Obito was getting closer to Kamishiro, a figure blocked the way between them.

Seeing this figure, Kamishiro's eyes were filled with despair, while Obito was utterly stunned.

Obito asked in confusion, "Lady Tsunade?"

Tsunade lifted the cloth covering her eyes a little, turned to look at Obito, and asked in a very flat tone, "What? You want to save Korega kid?"

Obito instantly got the creeps. Although Tsunade's tone was calm, he felt that if he said 'yes', he'd be in big trouble.

At the same time, Obito suddenly became super smart and guessed that the camp hadn't actually been attacked. Instead, Kamishiro had offended Tsunade.

Obito nervously glanced upward and said, "Ah, Lady Tsunade, I don't know anything. I'm just passing by."

Kamishiro never really expected this dumb - ass Obito to save him anyway.

Now, Kamishiro was shivering and his eyes darted around, desperately trying to think of a way to get out of this desperate situation.

Kamishiro saw Kakashi not far away and immediately shouted, "Ka..."

However, before Kamishiro could even finish calling his name, Kakashi had disappeared and was gone in a flash.

Tsunade turned her head back and jeered, "Call, shout all you want. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."

At this moment, Tsunade's extremely beautiful face looked extremely terrifying in Kamishiro's eyes.
