Just as Chiyo's ten puppets were still struggling to deal with the incoming boulders, Hayato Ren issued a new command to Tyranitar.
"Tyranitar, destroy everything here! Use Earthquake at full power!"
Tyranitar stomped heavily on the ground once more, but this time, a special energy wave surged from its body straight into the earth.
After a brief pause, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to shake violently.
The previously constructed houses swayed a few times before collapsing completely.
Meanwhile, numerous bottomless fissures appeared across the ground.
Occasionally, a few unlucky Sand Ninjas fell into them, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
After accomplishing all this, Hayato Ren decisively chose to make a quick escape.
After all, the mission was only to raid the Sand Ninja camp, and Tyranitar's Earthquake had already exceeded the mission objectives.
If not now, then when would be a better time to leave?
In an instant, Tyranitar's massive form vanished.
Simultaneously, Hayato Ren activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to the Leaf camp.
Only after seeing Hayato Ren disappear did Chiyo finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
There was no helping it—this kid was just too unpredictable.
Even Chiyo wasn't confident she could keep him here.
However, after taking in the hellish scene before her, even with Chiyo's extensive experience, she couldn't help but rub her temples and let out a long, weary sigh.
She had originally planned to launch a surprise attack on the Leaf once they were settled.
Who would have thought the Leaf would be so dishonorable as to strike first without warning?
They had attacked without even declaring war, completely disregarding the reputation of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
It truly felt like the world was declining and people's hearts were no longer what they used to be.
Moreover, they would have to relocate their camp because the area had been devastated by Tyranitar's Earthquake.
By conservative estimates, the casualties from Hayato Ren's raid numbered well over a hundred.
Losing so many ninjas before the formal confrontation even began was not a good omen.
Chiyo sighed heavily once more before directing her people to begin rescue operations.
...
Hayato Ren's figure appeared "whoosh" right beside Tsunade.
Tsunade, who had been reviewing documents, was startled by his sudden appearance and nearly instinctively threw a punch at him.
Only after recognizing who it was did her tense body gradually relax.
"Couldn't you choose a more normal way to appear? You scare me every time."
Tsunade's beautiful eyes fixed intently on Hayato Ren's face, radiating clear dissatisfaction.
Hayato Ren, however, showed no trace of remorse.
Instead, he casually picked up an apple from the table, wiped it a few times on Tsunade's clothes, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that Hayato Ren had completely ignored her, Tsunade could no longer hold back.
She raised her fist, ready to make intimate contact with Hayato Ren's head.
Just as Tsunade's fist was about to land, Hayato Ren swallowed a mouthful of fruit and leisurely said:
"Stop!"
Hearing this, Tsunade instinctively halted her movement, her fist stopping less than a centimeter away from Hayato Ren's head.
The wind pressure from her fist even ruffled Hayato Ren's hair several times.
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you're dead," Tsunade retracted her fist, her expression unfriendly.
She was already extremely irritated by the endless piles of documents.
And Hayato Ren had chosen precisely this moment to provoke her.
This behavior was practically asking for trouble.
Under Tsunade's hostile gaze, Hayato Ren quickly finished the apple in his hand.
Then, with a flick of his right hand,
the core arced through the air and landed right in front of Tsunade, some residual juice splashing onto her clothes.
That was the last straw for Tsunade.
"Forget it, I'll hear your explanation after I beat you up."
After saying this, Tsunade charged at Hayato Ren with her fist clenched like a sandbag.
At that moment, Hayato Ren's entire body seemed to melt, directly sinking into the shadows, causing Tsunade to miss completely.
Just as Tsunade was scratching her head, wondering if she had hallucinated,
Hayato Ren emerged from the shadows on the other side of the room.
His ability to move freely through shadows was thanks to Gengar's help.
Since Gengar could pull enemies into shadow space, similar to Uchiha Obito's Kamui Dimension,
with Gengar's assistance, Hayato Ren could mimic the Kamui ability.
"Tsunade, you're too impatient. This isn't the quality a ninja should have," Hayato Ren lay directly on Tsunade's bed, speaking in a lecturing tone. And is this how you treat Leaf's meritorious officials? This is really disheartening."
"You mean you've already completed the mission?" Tsunade's face was full of suspicion.
Although Hayato Ren possessed space ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God, attacking the Sand Ninja camp in such a short time without any signs of battle...
This defied common sense, making Tsunade deeply skeptical.
Facing Tsunade's doubts, Hayato Ren simply spread his hands, indicating she could believe whatever she wanted.
Battle reports might lie, but battle lines wouldn't.
Moreover, Leaf must have sent scouts to monitor the Sand Ninja camp.
If nothing went wrong, news should arrive soon.
At that moment, Hayato Ren suddenly thought of a problem.
Back at the Sand Ninja camp, Tyranitar had used large-scale destructive skills.
If Leaf's scouts were unlucky, they might have been caught in the crossfire.
Could his operation have accidentally injured allies?
Thinking this, Hayato Ren silently prayed for that unknown comrade.
He hoped they weren't so unfortunate as to fall not to the Sand Ninja, but to friendly fire.
Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.
Hearing this, Tsunade stood up to answer it.
As the door opened, a dust-covered messenger came into view.
However, this messenger wore an exceptionally brilliant smile on his face.
He looked as if he had just won a five-million lottery—and that was after taxes.
