Cracks appear on the gold sand pyramid as the gold dust starts to scatter.
"This is bad!" Rasa jumps back.

The diamond mark on her forehead has spread over her face and eyes.

"It''s time to wrap up this attack."
Swoosh
Tsunade takes out a scroll from her pocket. She infuses some chakra in the scroll.
Poof
A giant Taiko drum appears in front of her. Tsunade infuses some chakra in her fists and bangs the drum.

"I don''t want any more trouble from you."
Croak croak

The messenger frog informs her.
"What? Izuna is in trouble!"
Tsunade''s expression changes as she turns towards Rasa.

"Now I can rest assured."
She turns towards the frog.
"Quick! Lead the way."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"
The frog leads her towards the location.

Whoosh whoosh
Tsunade appears at the location of the battle. She surveys the nearby area and her expression turns ugly as she notices the damage caused by the fight.
"Tsunade! Quick, help the girl!"
Jiraiya calls her.
"Yes."
Tsunade walks up to Mei and ces her hand on Mei''s chest.
"Her pulse is faint. She has suffered grave mental and physical trauma. I have to carry her to the hospital."
Tsunade notices Ayaka lying near Mei.
"This girl! What''s she doing here?"
Tsunade hurriedly checks her condition.
"There is no physical or mental injury on her body. But there is a strange chakra flowing through her body. It is the cause of her fever."
Tsunade inspects her body and notices a diamond mark on her palm.
"What''s this? It looks like some kind of seal." Jiraiya curiously stares at the seal.
"We don''t have time for this. Carry this little girl to Konoha Hospital."
Tsunade lifts Mei and flickers towards the hospital.
"She she ignored me. My Tsuna-Chan ignored me."
Hashirama depressingly drops his head.
"Uh! Lord Third! Why don''t help carry the boy!"
Jiraiya picks up Ayaka and turns towards Hashirama.
"Ah! Yes yes!"
Whoosh
Both of them flickers towards the Konoha hospital.

Inside Konoha,
BOOM
Shisui swings a giant katana as he disperses the sand construct of Shukaku.
"I will have my revenge, next time. You pathetic humans!" Shukaku yells before dissipating into dust.
Whoosh
Shisui flickers towards the remains of Shukaku and picks up Gaara. He notices the young appearance of Gaara.
"What a sad thing! This child is even younger than Naruto, and yet both of them suffer from the same fate."
He shakes his head and makes a hand seal.
"Five Element Seal"
Shisui reinforces Gaara''s seal with his seal.
"With this, the tail beast won''t be able to overpower this boy''s body temporarily."
He picks Gaara up and flickers towards the Konoha Hospital.
"With this, the tides have turned in Konoha''s favor. I am sure by now, Itachi must have dealt with all the enemy anbus. He must be on his way to aid Lord Third."
Mmm
Gaara struggles in his sleep.
"Mother!"
Hmm
Shisui turns towards Gaara and notices the Kanji letter ''Love'' on his forehead.
"Poor boy! He is in so much pain and suffering, and yet he is hated by his people for his status of Jinchuriki.
I wonder how Naruto would have ended up if not for Nii-san''s interference."
Whoosh
He enters the Konoha hospital and notices Shizune tending to patients.
"Shizue-san! There is an emergency. Take care of this boy."
Shisui ces Gaara on a nearby bed.
"Yes, I will look after him after I check on Naruto."
She passes a medical report to one of the medical ninjas.
One of the nearby patients notices the sand emblem on Gaara''s clothes.
"He is he is an enemy. Why are you tending to an enemy? Look, I need immediate medical attention." He yells at Shizune as he points towards a minor injury near his stomach.
Swish
Shizune flips a scalpel in her hand and stabs it in the shinobi''s chest.
"AAH what are you doing?" The shinobi screams in pain.
"What else? Treating you!" Shizune turns towards Shisui and nods her head.
"I will shift him near Naruto."
"Thank you." Shisui nods his head.
Whoosh
Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Hashirama arrive in the hospital.
"Quick! I need three assistants. I have to perform a surgery."
Tsunade yells as he enters into an operation theatre.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!" Three medical ninjas follow her.
"What''s going on?"
Shisui turns towards Jiraiya for answers.
"It''s like this kid," Jiraiya exins the series of events of Shisui.
"What? Nii-san''s and Mei san''s life are in danger, and even Ayaka is caught in the cross-fire."
Shisui''s expression turns ugly.
"I won''t spare these bastards."
Shisui''s eyes change into Mangekyo as he flickers out of the Hospital.
Gulp
Jiraiya gulps his saliva.
"This kid is the most peaceful among those Uchiha bunches. If even he has lost it, then I wonder what would happen to the rest of these brothers."
Jiraiya silently closes his eyes.
"I can only pray for you sorry souls."
