"The Eight Gates Formation: First Gate, Open; Second Gate, Rest; Third Gate, Life, Open!"
Seeing that his group of friends were struggling to hold on against the mysterious man's attacks despite their best efforts, the only straightforward one among them, Lee, immediately unleashed the Eight Gates Formation with all his might, determined to fight for his friends' survival.
The crimson figure against the backdrop of the green bodysuit seemed somewhat out of place, but the sincerity displayed in every movement could influence everyone's mind.
Having witnessed firsthand the clash of techniques between his disciple and Lady Tsunade, and that the disciple held his own for a short time, Guy, who was so excited that he was finally able to return to the village, knelt down under the unbearable gazes of all the Jonin and Hiruzen Sarutobi, and shouted out his youth!
A slash crackling with lightning struck out, accompanied by a kunai imbued with dragon fire, interrupting Tsunade's counterattack.
The Rasengan, gathered on the illusory beast claw made of chakra, slammed down and created a crater seven or eight meters wide and three or four meters deep on the ground where Tsunade was standing.
Lee, pulled back by Naruto's tail, seized the opportunity, swung his leg wraps, and entangled Tsunade before unleashing his Outer Lotus attack.
But in an instant, Tsunade seized the opportunity and grabbed him, slamming him straight down to the ground.
A chakra arrow formed from lightning pierced through the leg bindings. His white eyes were filled with solemnity, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest. Arrows comparable to B-rank attack ninjutsu kept harassing Tsunade, creating opportunities for the three of them to attack.
As for whether the current rampant use of Rasengan and Chidori on the battlefield, along with the widespread use of Lightning Release and Taijutsu, will leave any leverage for the higher-ups of Konoha?
Lin Nian had already begun planning for today's event long before the three of them started training together.
First, find Yamato, who has returned exhausted from a mission, and ask him about the famous ninjutsu of the ninja he admires most.
Then, the Rasengan of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Chidori of Kakashi Hatake had their basic origins.
After explaining the principles of these two techniques to Sasuke Uchiha, who had always shown exceptional talent, the three of them went to various libraries in Konoha and spent time there. After being hospitalized several times for testing ninjutsu (mutual fighting training), the two powerful ninjas' signature techniques were reproduced under Hiruzen Sarutobi's almost constant surveillance.
Then, there was a Wood Release Awakener whom he had watched grow up, a posthumous child of his grand-disciple Minato Namikaze, and an Uchiha orphan who felt a little guilty and had aspirations for the future.
If those three people recreated this ninjutsu using their own intelligence, can you still forbid them from using it?
So when he discovered that they were using lightning strikes to train their Lightning Release ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi silently made a mental prediction.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before this thing became a must-have for the top young people.
As for his own loyal ninjas in Konoha? The younger generation all have their own, so why would he be short of his own?
The blue spear thrust out silently, forcing back the fist that had already knocked Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki away with a single punch. This fist, along with the arrow shot by Neji Hyuga, aimed at Tsunade's exposed vital points.
"You all stop fighting. Since Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, wants to test the strength of me, a junior, let me also weigh her strength."
With a gentle palm strike, he calmed the boiling chakra within Lee's body and interrupted his Eight Gates Formation.
With a moment of keen perception, he discovered that at most it was a bone fracture, but no broken bone. Then, Lin Nian directly threw a drop of dew, pure life force, into Xiao Li's mouth. Afterward, Lin Nian, holding a spear, charged directly at Tsunade, who had already broken free of her disguise after hearing his words.
"Kid, even though you inherited your great-grandfather's Wood Release, isn't it a bit too arrogant of you to try and compare your strength with mine?!"
Before the last word was even finished, Tsunade instantly appeared in front of Lin Nian using her body technique and struck him down with a single blow of her monstrous strength.
Just before the monstrous fist was about to hit Lin Nian, a thick, vertical vine suddenly rose from the ground, forming something resembling a wooden wall. A vine also rapidly grew from behind Lin Nian, wrapping around him and pulling him backward at high speed.
With a deafening roar, the blue silver wooden rock wall that Tsunade's fist touched shattered instantly. Even the spot where Lin Nian had been standing was smashed into a crater about six meters wide and four or five meters deep. It was clear from this attack that Tsunade had held back.
With a faint golden light, Lin Nian, wielding a spear, once again charged to Tsunade's side. With his strength, which was not much weaker than Tsunade's in his normal state, and the advantage of the spear's length, he managed to fight Tsunade, who was eager to test the abilities of this descendant of the Senju clan, to a standstill for a short time.
The monstrous punches, almost without stopping, relentlessly bombarded the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. Then, Lin Nian used his superb force-dissipating techniques to deflect some of the force, guiding it directly towards Tsunade.
Amidst the flying sand and swirling stones, streaks of spear shadows, combining strength and gentleness with incredible speed, repeatedly grazed Tsunade's vital points.
Tsunade finally got fed up with the relentless barrage of attacks and unleashed a powerful punch using 60% of her strength.
Click...
A faint sound reached Lin Nian's ears. Knowing that his current Blue Silver King resilience was not enough to withstand Tsunade's monstrous punch, Lin Nian took advantage of the situation to retreat and create distance. He then stood in the sky with one foot on a willow leaf throwing knife.
The spear in her hand scattered, leaving eleven throwing knives that flew out of her ninja tool pouch and began to attack Tsunade's non-lethal points all over her body.
With focused concentration, he formed hand seals, causing arcs of lightning to wrap around the remaining eleven throwing knives that were restraining Tsunade below.
Amidst the flashing golden light, even Tsunade sensed a deadly sense of danger.
Without further hesitation, she unleashed her full power in her normal state, a punch imbued with chakra that instantly knocked away a throwing knife that was aimed at a non-vital area of her body.
Lin Nian, who had truly sensed Tsunade's normal full strength through the weapon he had crafted, also sensed the powerful aura surrounding the grove and silently activated the special ability within his own weapon.
A sharp edge rose from the remaining eleven willow-leaf throwing knives. Interlocking with each other, six of them actually combined into a phantom ring blade. As it spun continuously, it accumulated kinetic energy and slashed towards Tsunade, who had already stomped heavily on the ground and leaped up, heading towards them.
The remaining five throwing knives were arranged according to the five elements. As they spun around Lin Nian, they subtly formed a small domain of pure knife energy, protecting Lin Nian's safety.
