- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 168
In the end, Fang Bo lost hold of the woman.
As the poison needle took effect, Shizune endured the searing pain of her severed arm and rushed forward, cradling the heavily injured Tsunade with her remaining arm.
“No, leave me! Don’t worry about me,” Tsunade tried to persuade her to let go.
But as expected, Shizune wasn’t about to flee alone—she wouldn’t have fought so fiercely otherwise.
The Sword of Thunder God sliced through the air, piercing straight through Shizune’s chest.
Electricity coursed through her body, the intense paralysis causing her to momentarily release her grip. But she quickly held Tsunade tighter at her waist.
“I won’t let go.” With a burst of chakra underfoot, she soared into the sky, ignoring the threat behind her.
Even if she wanted to fight back, Shizune’s single arm was of little use.
“Such a tenacious woman,” Fang Bo sighed as he unleashed another invisible Noble Phantasm toward the sky.
In less than half a second, the Shadow Moon Piercer struck Shizune, robbing her of the ability to move mid-air.
Yet Fang Bo didn’t let his guard down. Three more Noble Phantasms shot toward the falling women like homing missiles.
*Boom!*
“That should be enough to kill them this time,” Fang Bo muttered, realizing he felt like a typical villain.
These people had been living peacefully, yet here he was, attacking and exploiting their weaknesses relentlessly.
“I really am quite terrible,” he mused, letting out a small laugh at the rewards he’d earn for killing a Sannin.
But his smile quickly faded.
As the smoke cleared, Tsunade reappeared, covered in blood.
She had used her body to shield her student from the three Noble Phantasms.
Even with a sword embedded in her chest and her arm severed, she stood her ground, unfazed.
“I’m sorry… I was too weak.” She picked up her severed arm, pressing it against the bleeding stump.
With *Creation Rebirth*, her arm reattached, and her wounds began to heal rapidly.
For the first time, Tsunade felt a surge of anger toward her own powerlessness.
The anger was so intense that it shattered her hemophobia.
Standing there now was no longer a weak woman but the renowned Sannin, one of the top forces in the shinobi world.
**Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!**
A small, adorable slug appeared before her in a puff of smoke.
“Tsunade-sama.” The slug looked delighted; it had been a long time since it was summoned.
Since developing hemophobia, Tsunade had avoided blood-based summoning techniques.
Seeing Tsunade’s renewed spirit, the slug knew its master had overcome her struggle.
“Take Shizune and keep her safe.” Tsunade spoke gently, tenderly smoothing her student’s hair. “You’ve done well. Leave the rest to me.”
Feeling the warmth of her hand, Shizune smiled sweetly.
The Tsunade-sama she knew was back.
With her phobia conquered, her master wouldn’t lose to anyone again.
Once the slug departed, Tsunade turned her gaze toward the man in the distance.
Raising an eyebrow, her eyes sharp as blades, she asked, “Did you enjoy yourself?”
Fang Bo chuckled bitterly, shaking his head. “Why bother? Why not just die quietly? The outcome won’t change.”
He liked to act only when fully prepared; he wouldn’t take down a Sannin without a solid plan.
Had everything gone smoothly, he could’ve easily dealt with Tsunade alone.
Now, with unexpected complications, he was forced to activate his backup plan.
[Tsunade (Sannin)]
[Attack Inclination: Intense]
[Attribute Inclination: Spirit, Strength, Constitution]
[Trait: Senju Bloodline (Legendary)]
[Threat Assessment: Extremely Lethal]
Seeing the threat level, Fang Bo knew he stood no chance of winning against her directly.
Draining this much of her chakra had been difficult enough.
Once the treasure chest was claimed, his efforts would be acknowledged.
“I’ll leave the rest to you,” Fang Bo called, waving into the shadows.
Soon, a figure emerged slowly—a man he had personally created, the demon king Kimimaro.
Trading Karin had granted Fang Bo the chance to assign this task.
He’d hoped it wouldn’t be necessary, but it turned out he would need Kimimaro to finish the fight.
“Good luck, I’m off to find that slug.” With that, Fang Bo pursued the slug’s trail.
Even for a special jōnin, he wouldn’t let the chest slip through his fingers.
Seeing his move, Tsunade prepared to block him, but Kimimaro’s *Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets* forced her back.
“Bones?” she murmured, recalling something from the past.
Kage-level shinobi all had heightened sensory abilities, and she’d inherited the Senju bloodline.
Yet she hadn’t sensed this stranger’s presence until he attacked.
Either he far surpassed her in strength, or he possessed unique concealment skills.
None of it mattered, though—she just wanted to take him down as fast as possible.
With a slight press of her foot, the ground around her cratered and collapsed.
Using the momentum, she closed in on her opponent at lightning speed.
With a no-nonsense punch, she struck Kimimaro square in the stomach.
Tsunade’s monstrous strength came from precise chakra control, a Senju clan trait only a few could master.
Before the fight, Fang Bo had warned Kimimaro to beware of Tsunade’s strength, but he’d still underestimated her.
Even though he’d fortified his chest with blood-bone armor, her punch sent him flying.
If not for his enhanced bones, the blow would have wrecked him.
When Kimimaro stood from the debris hundreds of meters away, his tattered kimono hung loosely. Pulling off the remnants, his body appeared unscathed.
His cell regeneration, a gift from the demon king’s blood, matched Tsunade’s healing techniques.
This would be a war of attrition, a matter of who could last until sunrise or who could outlast the other’s chakra.
Activating his *Curse Mark Second Stage*, Kimimaro transformed into a monstrous figure.
In this form, he could fight her head-on, and his fortified bones shrugged off her attacks.
With her strength neutralized, Tsunade’s threat seemed far less imposing.
“Damn it!”
With a powerful downward kick meant to crush him, Tsunade was shocked when Kimimaro absorbed the blow without moving.
“Your attacks are too direct.”
Dozens of blood bones emerged from Kimimaro’s body as he elegantly began spinning in place.
**Dance of the Camellia!**
With each turn, he could inflict dozens of wounds on his opponent in an instant.
Despite the regenerative power of Creation Rebirth, Tsunade was quickly drenched in her own blood.
Seeing him continue his dance, she roared, throwing a punch that pierced through her hand but sent him flying.
As she landed again, she instinctively coughed twice.
It was then she realized just how much chakra the previous fight had drained from her.
“No… I have to stay focused. I can’t let myself be distracted again,” Tsunade reminded herself constantly.
As for Shizune, she would have to rely on the slugs to protect her.
With that thought, she performed another summoning jutsu, calling forth a large number of slug clones.
Because they were in a populated town, she didn’t summon her massive slug directly, worried it would crush buildings, but opted for smaller clones to aid her.
Leaving a few large slugs to assist in her fight, she sent the rest to help Shizune.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the battle concluded quicker than expected.
Watching Jorogumo devour her prey, Fang Bo asked with a smile, “How does it taste?”
After a moment, the shikigami nodded in satisfaction, signaling that this little morsel was even more nourishing than expected.
Eating just one like this was more effective than devouring dozens of humans.
Proof of this was her immediate production of three ghost spiders, replenishing the numbers lost in earlier skirmishes.
As for Shizune, she had long since fallen unconscious, awaiting Fang Bo’s final act.
Activating his aura sense, he quickly detected the swarm of slugs closing in.
Had he not intended to lure them here, Shizune would have been dead already.
Now, the ghost spiders could feast to their hearts’ content, perhaps even birthing a few new third-tier soldiers.
Golden ripples shimmered, and the crescent blade of the Blue Dragon unsheathed, killing Shizune violently.
[You have killed Special Jōnin Shizune]
[Tsunade’s favorability toward you -500; current relationship: Arch-enemy]
[You obtained a Plot Treasure Chest (Gold)]
The gold chest was expected, as the treasure chest’s value is based on the character’s strength in the story.
Regardless of how easy or difficult the fight was, as long as he inflicted enough damage, the chest’s worth was predetermined.
Even if Shizune’s strength was subpar, she was still a Special Jōnin—a formidable force for reincarnators facing this difficulty.
That wide-reaching poison mist attack alone was lethal to nearly all reincarnators in this world.
While the chest itself was standard, what truly thrilled Fang Bo were the two war missions he’d completed.
[War Mission 2: Kill 20/20 enemy village ninja (Completed)]
[You received 1000 Plot Points]
[You received 10 Points]
[War Mission 3: Kill 3/3 Jōnin]
[You received 1000 Plot Points]
[You received 10 Points]
In a flash, he had gained 2,000 Plot Points and 20 Points—essentially equivalent to defeating a high-level, three-attribute master.
Once Kimimaro finished off Tsunade, he would complete yet another war mission.
Ignoring Konoha’s destruction, his gains from this storyline world were already quite substantial.
In the distance, the ghost spiders clashed fiercely with the army of slugs.
Overall, his forces held the advantage, and it wouldn’t take long to wipe out the slugs.
With no one else interfering, Fang Bo decided to open Shizune’s Plot Treasure Chest.
[You obtained a Plot Treasure Chest (Gold)]
[You received 400 Plot Points]
[You received a Poison Blending Manual]
[You received a Mystical Palm Technique Scroll]
[You received Basic Medical Ninjutsu MAX]
– **Poison Blending Manual:** Contains recipes and methods for creating and nurturing poisons.
– **Mystical Palm Technique:** A C-rank active skill, allowing the use of ninjutsu to heal. Effectiveness depends on medical knowledge.
– **Basic Medical Ninjutsu:** Basic skill that grants knowledge of medical ninjutsu.
Using all three items could almost instantly create a “mini Shizune.”
But Fang Bo didn’t need these skills; he’d rather trade them with others once he returned.
More than acquiring skills, Plot Points were what he needed most right now.
Once he killed Tsunade and completed the other war mission, he would rush back to Konoha Village to join the fray.
Killing one or two reincarnators would be far more profitable than regular missions.
And he might even uncover some tasks from the Konoha side.
Stowing everything from the chest, Fang Bo joined his shikigami, helping her quickly finish off the fight at hand.
