Naruto: Starting with Dual Rinnegan, Konan Falls in Love with Me

With Gu Xingxi's participation, the Hidden Sand Village didn't initiate combat with the Hidden Rain but united to confront Konoha instead.

Due to Gu Xingxi's reputation as the "White Moon God," the Hidden Rock Village, like the Hidden Cloud, chose not to attack Konoha but to observe from the sidelines.

As Gu Xingxi was hurrying to the battlefield, she thought, (It's the 37th year of Konoha. The Legendary Sannin probably received their titles around the end of this year. And it should also be when Sakumo Hatake killed Sasori's parents. Ah, I haven't even celebrated New Year in the Naruto world yet.)

Upon reaching the battlefield, Chiyo, seeing Gu Xingxi, wished she could kill him right then.

Chiyo demanded, "Gu Xingxi, return the body of my brother Ebizo to me." Gu Xingxi retorted, "Want it back? Pay up, and I'll return it."

Realizing that negotiations were futile, Chiyo immediately ordered an attack to kill Gu Xingxi.

Gu Xingxi coolly remarked, "You really can't keep your composure."

At this point, Orochimaru began to direct, "Tsunade, you handle Chiyo. I'll join Jiraiya in holding off Hanzo. You need to wrap things up quickly, shatter her puppets, and then come help us."

Tsunade replied, "Got it, stop nagging."

As the clash began, Tsunade engaged Chiyo in combat.

Chiyo summoned the Ten Puppet Squad, while Tsunade summoned a slug which split into smaller forms to heal her and the others fighting the Hidden Sand's puppet forces.

Chiyo's puppets attacked Tsunade, who smashed them to pieces with her punches, leaving Chiyo shocked and understanding why her brother had struggled so much against Tsunade.

Meanwhile, Gu Xingxi joined Orochimaru and Jiraiya in battling Hanzo.

Hanzo summoned the Salamander and attempted to use a wide-spread poison attack to reduce the number of Konoha ninjas while Tsunade was absent.

Gu Xingxi saw through his plan. As the Salamander opened its mouth, she launched eight lightning spears directly into it.

A massive explosion erupted inside the Salamander's mouth, dissipating it in a puff of smoke and breaking the summoning.

Hanzo fumed, "You damned brat, I'll kill you!" He attacked Gu Xingxi with his scythe, but Jiraiya blocked him.

Jiraiya said, "Go help Tsunade. Your wide-range techniques are perfect against puppets."

Without hesitation, Gu Xingxi used her Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear to head towards Tsunade.

Orochimaru, with a grimace, commented, "Always showing off," and continued fighting Hanzo with Jiraiya.

On another part of the battlefield, due to Chiyo's deadly toxins, many ninjas fighting alongside Tsunade against the puppet forces were killed.

Tsunade, relying on her immense strength, which countered puppeteers, and battling Chiyo's puppet forces, was pulling back and forth in the fight.

However, the arrival of Gu Xingxi broke the deadlock.

Gu Xingxi drew her Nichirin Sword and declared, "Moon Breathing: First Form, Night Palace." A giant moon-blade accompanied by smaller moon- blades surged towards Chiyo's puppet forces.

This attack damaged two of Chiyo's puppets and took the lives of nearly half of her elite puppeteers.

Gu Xingxi, using her maneuver gear, moved behind the remaining puppeteers and swung her Nichirin Sword again, "Moon Breathing: Second Form, Pearl Moon." She launched three moon-blades, each accompanied by smaller ones, killing all the remaining elite puppeteers.

Seeing all her forces annihilated, Chiyo was furious and wanted to kill Gu Xingxi herself, but only two of her puppets remained, and those had been destroyed by Tsunade. She knew even if all remaining Hidden Sand ninjas came to her aid, they couldn't overcome Gu Xingxi and Tsunade because of Gu Xingxi's unrivaled close-combat and wide-range attack power.

Chiyo ordered, "All forces retreat. Hanzo, you handle it yourself." With that, she began to retreat.

Hanzo, seeing Chiyo's retreat, wasn't surprised, as 1800 of the 2000 troops

were from the Hidden Sand, and he didn't feel the loss of them. Among them, Gu Xingxi and Tsunade had wiped out a thousand.

Hanzo, after repelling Jiraiya and Orochimaru with a single slice, also began to retreat, planting many explosive tags before leaving.

Gu Xingxi, seeing the enemy retreat, remarked, "With this battle, the Hidden Sand withdraws from the war in the Land of Rain. Just need to push back the Third Kazekage, and the war with the Hidden Sand will be declared over. The Hidden Rain, being a small country, won't last much longer either."

Tsunade replied, "I hope so."

As Orochimaru and Jiraiya approached, Orochimaru yelled to the ninjas, "Clean up the battlefield."

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze, learning of the victory, also headed towards the site.

Minato asked, "Tobirama, why do you insist on coming to clean up the battlefield?"

Tobirama responded, "You don't understand looting, do you? These ninjas have many valuable things on them."
