Chapter 510: Peacock!
Tsunade isn't saying that because she developed a new jutsu, others can't possibly research something similar.
But...how could it be such a coincidence?!
Could this Yasuo be a member of the Senju clan?
Tsunade's thoughts are justified; to achieve the healing effects of 'regeneration,' one must possess an extraordinarily abundant life force. Otherwise, an ordinary person's body might survive once or twice, but with increased usage, it would surely be fatal!
She even refuses to use this technique too frequently, which shows how immense the required chakra and life force are.
So, the opponent must possess a powerful life force.
How could Tsunade not be puzzled?
But Tsunade doesn't know that Aoba doesn't have the body of a sage like Hashirama, nor does he know any Creation Rebirth techniques. Instead, his "Ultra Rapid Regeneration" consumes physical energy to heal, and only when he's out of energy does it start to use his life force.
That's the brilliance of the dog system!
With a bang!Slightly disoriented and permanently inexplicably closing her eyes, Tsunade was directly overpowered by Aoba and kicked away.
It's just a hack for mana and health regeneration!
Now he has it, too!
And he also activated the 'damage reflection hack,' 'defense hack,' and 'speed hack'!
Come on!
Whoa, Tsunade vomited blood again.
It seemed like the final straw. As this smear of red finally appeared before Tsunade's eyes, she, who had always endured and often closed her eyes during battles, ultimately fell trembling to the ground.
Is this...?
Aoba was initially stunned, then seemed to remember that Tsunade might not have overcome her hemophobia at this time.
He was not pretending not to know; it was too long.
In the original series, Tsunade's hemophobia is mentioned in the first few episodes after she appears, and she overcomes it to protect Naruto.
So Aoba had forgotten about it.
Then, he recalled Tsunade's various inexplicable behaviors during the previous battles, which now seemed to have an explanation.
He had thought initially Tsunade's trembling was due to the excitement of battle, but it now appeared she was forcibly enduring.
She permanently closed her eyes during attacks and when injured, probably because she was afraid of seeing blood...
It must have been tough for Tsunade to endure these circumstances, managing to avoid seeing that smear of red until now.
And then, just then, a mission from the dog system arrived as expected!
Ding!
A special suicide mission has been released!
Mission Name: The Devil and the Angel!
Description: You are the devil, and you are the angel. Use the most intense methods to help Tsunade overcome her hemophobia.
(Question: what about when Tsunade has her period?)
Mission Requirement: Tsunade overcomes her hemophobia
Mission Duration: 1 hour
Mission Reward: Special Treasure Box x1, High-Level Skill Card x1
Mission Failure: Hemophobia, you deserve to have it!
Aoba almost cursed!
He didn't want that disease.
But he could guess that when Tsunade has her period, Shizune is busy caring for everything.
And it mayn't happen.
Who knows!
Dog system, always causing trouble, damn!
The villain 'Yasuo' walked up to Tsunade, not taking advantage of her vulnerability or kicking her while she was down, simply saying, "Stand up, or else I will kill everyone here first, then kill everyone who dares to leave the Leaf Village."
Tsunade clutched the necklace left by the First Hokage, still trembling continuously.
Even after so many years, scenes from the past would still revive before her eyes along with that smear of red.
However, Aoba's threat was partially without effect...
"That woman named Shizune, though you've had her sent away, has already been poisoned with our Blood Moon Sect's 'Half-Step Smile of Madness.' In two more hours, she will die from the poison."
"Now, if you defeat me, you still have a chance to save her. Otherwise, you'll witness a madwoman laughing hysterically as she kills everyone around her and dies from bleeding from all orifices."
"Surely that scene would be spectacular."
Tsunade suddenly raised her head, and the trembling of her body noticeably lessened.
"Good, keep that look in your eyes! My honor shall not be defiled!"
As he spoke, Aoba forced a kunai into Tsunade's hand and pressed it against his throat, exhibiting a crazed look as if possessed by an Oscar-winning actor.
"Stab it down, and you can go save that woman. Kill me, and you can save everyone's lives. Otherwise, I swear, I will slaughter anyone related to you."
"Do you want to drag the Leaf Village down with you?"
Like a devil's temptation, Tsunade gripped the kunai tightly but couldn't bring herself to stab.
With a clatter, the kunai fell to the ground...
Tsunade couldn't take that final step despite being so coerced and threatened.
Disappointed, Aoba stood up and looked down disdainfully at Tsunade, who lay on the ground, "Since you have defiled my honor, let's collect some interest from these people first."
"After I've killed them all, I'll send you on your final journey."
With the [Crimson Swordsman] skin's effects maxed out, an endless aura of killing intent surrounded him.
No one doubted he was joking!
These people were all going to die!
One step, two steps... like the stride of a devil.
Tsunade showed no reaction, which frustrated Aoba. Overcoming homophobia wasn't supposed to be this hard in the original story!
He had already used the lives of so many to threaten and stimulate Tsunade; could it be that the entire Leaf Village couldn't compare to Naruto's protagonist, halo?
Oh dear, what to do now?
Just as Aoba was unsure how to continue this act, he took a third step...
Then, the earth shattered!
"Earth Smash!"
With a murderous look, Tsunade suddenly punched the ground, her forearm swallowed by the earth.
Then, boom, boom, boom...!
Her incredible strength exploded layer by layer, with her fist at the center, crumbling the ground outward in circles.
Numerous rocks shot into the sky, carrying the pleased-looking Aoba with them.
Aoba swiftly struck, shattering all the surrounding rocks, and during his descent, he saw Tsunade below, already in position for a 'Rising Dragon Fist.'
But Aoba, undaunted, used his core strength to keep spinning as he fell, condensing a massive amount of lightning-style chakra on his right leg.
"Thunder Axe!"
Boom!
Tsunade's rising fist and Aoba's descending leg collided like a comet hitting the earth, apparently unable to withstand the impact, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
Then Aoba's body spun out of control into the air, while Tsunade was embedded into the ground, with only the upper half of her body visible. The ground beneath her feet exploded into a huge crater, as fragile as tofu dregs.
Such a brutal battle caused onlookers like Guy to flinch!
Yet the combatants seemed unfazed as their limbs rapidly regenerated before everyone's eyes.
One couldn't help but marvel; they were indeed monsters!
At that moment, Kakashi said gravely, "We can't keep going like this. We need to resolve this quickly and then help Lady Tsunade."
Because he could see that Lady Tsunade seemed to have no effective means against her opponent, and continuing this way, it was uncertain who would last.
After all, such 'indestructible' ninjutsu couldn't possibly come without a price!
Guy nodded, "Kakashi is right."
Kurenai chuckled bitterly, "Easier said than done, but these 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen' puppets are not easy to deal with, and my illusions are useless here."
Worse still, they had yet to find the puppet master controlling these puppets.
It's as if these puppets can move freely without needing someone to control them manually.
If that's true, does that mean the Sand Village has developed a new puppetry technique?
Everyone thought of this and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Then they heard Asuma shouting, "Come and help, I can't hold on much longer!"
Joking aside, these 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen puppets are much harder to deal with than the original 'Seven Ninja Swordsmen.' They're tireless, fearless of death, and are nothing short of killing machines on the battlefield!
Moreover, they can utilize each of the ninja swords' abilities to their full potential, and what's even more outrageous is that they can coordinate with each other?!
Who the hell is the puppet master who created this terrifying thing?
It's just too frightening!
So far, it has taken the combined efforts of their four, plus dozens of Leaf Village ninjas, just to dismantle one puppet barely.
If it weren't for the injured being healed by Lady Slug, morale would have already plummeted.
Moreover, these puppets dare to exchange injury for injury, life for life in their combat style, but do they dare?
Trading human lives for a few parts of a puppet, this deal is simply too much of a loss!
So, as the battle progressed, they were restrained, only able to grind away slowly.
If the Sand Village switches to these puppets in the future, it could turn the tables...
In this situation, Guy no longer hesitated and stood up, "Let me handle this next!"
"Guy, don't be reckless..." Kakashi, knowing something, advised him with some concern.
But Guy revealed his white teeth, smiled, and gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry, I'm not planning on going down together with a few puppets."
After saying this, Guy immediately pulled his arms to his sides, slightly squatted, and then a furious aura began to rise from him...
"Eight Gates Released Formation, the Gate of View...open!!!"
For a quick resolution, Guy opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of View!
As the Gate of View was opened, the furious steam rising from Guy immediately turned green, making him look as if he was wearing a green-tailed beast cloak.
"Group them all together for me, and I want to settle this all at once!"
Shocked, Asuma and Kurenai finally snapped out of it and, along with the others, joined forces to drive the remaining 'Six-Man Group' to a nearby area, then quickly pulled back.
Just then, Guy vanished from the spot instantly, moving so fast that he was invisible to the naked eye, with only Kakashi, who had activated the Sharingan, able to see some traces.
When the vanished Guy suddenly appeared before the 'Six-Man Group,' his fist thundered out!
"Morning, Peacock!"
The super high-speed punches and the friction with the air produced a massive amount of flames! It was as if a peacock with flames for feathers had spread its tail!
It was lovely!
The people who had moved far back were shocked as they watched Guy suddenly erupt as if they were seeing him for the first time.
They could feel a heat wave hitting their faces even from a distance, leaving them dehydrated and thirsty!
Only Kakashi remained calm, knowing that this was just a part of Guy's true strength...
