Boom ~
Jiraiya quickly used the Needle Jizō to protect himself.
Boom boom~
The roar of the detonating Explosive Tag continued, and the entire terrain was destroyed by the explosion.
Jiraiya also hardened his long silver hair into the form of thorns looks like a hedgehog and stretched it, enveloping the whole body, defending against Hanzō of the Salamander, but he looks very bad. There are burn marks on his hands.
Jiraiya looked at the location where Tsunade was in and felt unparalleled anxiety, she was in the midst of the explosion so she would definitely take a huge damage if she didn't die.
As soon as he looked into the center of the explosion, he saw within the smoke and dust the silhouette of a giant skeleton with horns on its head and eye sockets glowing.
"What is this thing?" Hanzo looked at this and a frown appeared on his face.
"Ryuu Uchiha." Orochimaru looked at the giant skeleton and knew directly who had arrived on the battlefield, although he hadn't seen Ryuu using Susanoo (Because Ryuu rarely uses Susanoo in fights.Also, their fights were in different arenas, so he did not see it personally.), he had heard about it and had researched everything about Ryuu, so he recognized him by just a look.
The skeleton comes out of the explosion area and reveals its full form.
But the skeleton dissipated after a moment, after all it served the purpose of using it to protect Tsunade.
"Damn it, I'm the one who's supposed to do this not him." Jiraiya looked at the three people in front of him and felt intense envy towards Ryuu.
Ryuu hugs Tsunade from the waist with his right hand. As his left hand was holding the hand of a beautiful girl, signs of astonishment were appearing on her face as if she was saying how she got here.
"Are you okay, Tsunade?" Ryuu smiled while gently asking.
He hasn't called Tsunade like Tsunade-sensei for a long time so Tsunade wasn't surprised by the way he called her.
"I'm all right." Tsunade felt a little ashamed seeing Ryuu's face close to hers, Ryuu is currently the same height as Tsunade so their faces are facing each other.
'When did this boy become this handsome?' Tsunade turned her face away as her heartbeat increased.
Tsunade knows that Ryuu wants her, and previously due to their relationship as master and disciple, she couldn't accept it.
But Ryuu tried many ways to bring their relationship closer, and slowly and within two years was able to make Tsunade see him as a man rather than as a child or ex-disciple.
"Ryuu-sama, how did we get here." The pretty girl holding Ryuu's hand spoke causing Tsunade to notice her.
"Hikari, you are here too." Tsunade quickly turned away from Ryuu's embrace when she noticed Hikari's presence.
"Yes, Ryuu-sama brought me here." Hikari noticed that Tsunade was looking at her hand intertwined with Ryuu's left hand which made her blush.
"Right, how did you get here so quickly." Tsunade wondered after thinking carefully.
Ryuu wanted to answer that question but a violet mist shot towards them very quickly, Ryuu grabbed Tsunade and Hikari by the waist and then jumped away from the poisonous mist.
'This boy, he carries us in his arms every chance he gets.' Tsunade sighed, but had no resentment or anger at Ryuu's actions.
"Boy, you shouldn't talk too much while you're on a battlefield." Hanzo looked at Ryuu with displeasure, it was the first time his presence had been ignored.
Ryuu coldly looked at Hanzo and was about to make a move to attack him, but Tsunade grabbed him by the arm, "I want to defeat him myself, just give me some time to use my trump."
She knows that Ryuu is very strong and can defeat Hanzo, because she fought Ryuu a month ago and was easily defeated by Ryuu even without his Sharingan.
She just wants to defeat Hanzo herself, she feels humiliated because she fought against him with three people but she almost lost.
"I was planning on defeating him myself, but since you want to do that, it's fine for me." Ryuu didn't care if Hanzo was defeated by him or Tsunade, but he felt sorry that he wouldn't be able to fight Hanzo.
"I will hold him for you, when you are done with your trump you can fight him." Ryuu smiled, and at the same time four people moved around and surrounded Hanzo and the salamander.
"Four Violet Flames Formation"
Before Hanzo did anything, a barrier was formed around him and the barrier was made of purple flames. Hanzo could no longer escape and couldn't get out of the barrier either.
These four people are Ryuu's shadow clones, he used his shadow clone technique as soon as he got here but no one noticed because he used the explosion as a cover for his actions.
Ryuu looked at Jiraiya and Orochimaru while pointing at the Konoha ninja who were still fighting the Ame Ninja, "You can go and help Konoha's forces, don't worry I can keep Hanzo under control."
"You brat, don't give us orders, we are the leaders here." Jiraiya was jealous of Ryuu and when Ryuu started giving them orders, he got annoyed.
Jiraiya tried to pick a fight with Ryuu but just one angry look from Tsunade made him shut up. Orochimaru approached him and pulled him by the collar to the battlefield between Konoha and Ame.
After Jiraiya and Orochimaru left, Tsunade sat on the ground and started meditating.
Ryuu looked at this and was shocked, "Did Tsunade learn the Sage Mode?"
When Tsunade fought Ryuu a month ago she didn't use the Sage Mode against him so he didn't know she had learned it.
Ryuu's presence affected Tsunade and made her want to become stronger, so she asked Katsuyu to teach her the Sage Mode.
Author: Hello guys. I'm really sorry that I haven't updated any chapter for a month, please accept my sincere apologies.
..... .... ... .. . .. ... .... .....
Currently Hanzo has been captured by the Four Violet Flames Formation and can't get out.
Also, Ryuu protects Tsunade so Tsunade can try to enter Sage Mode without any worries.
"So how did we get here?" Since she doesn't have to do anything and has enough free time, Hikari asks Ryuu the question that baffled her.
"This is very simple, all I did was use Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport here." Ryuu simply answered Hikari's question.
Before the Flying Thunder God Technique can be performed, users must first mark a target with their "technique formula" The formula is applied after the merest touch and cannot be removed; it will remain in place even after the user has died and there is no limit to how many targets can be marked with technique formulas.
By entering a dimensional void, users can instantly teleport to a technique formula's location whenever they please, regardless of distance.
This means that Ryuu placed the formula on Tsunade, and was able to teleport to her position because of that.
Also, Ryuu has put formulas everywhere in the Land of the Rain so he can teleport whenever he wants and wherever he wants.
"Isn't Flying Thunder God Technique the space-time ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju? I have heard that many people have tried to learn it but all of them failed." Hikari looked at Ryuu in admiration, Ryuu was still young but he had learned such a difficult technique so it would be strange not to look at him like that.
Minutes passed quickly when Ryuu spoke to Hikari, during which time Tsunade succeeded in entering sage mode.
Tsunade's eyes turned blue, with dark blue pigmentation around her eyes that extends to her ears.
Tsunade smiled and looked at Ryuu, "Ryuu, take me inside the Four Violet Flames Formation."
"It's time to beat Hanzo to death." Ryuu smiled and reached out and grabbed Tsunade's shoulder and within an instant they were teleported inside the Four Violet Flames Formation.
As soon as they entered, Hanzo noticed this and looked at Tsunade and Ryuu in displeasure, "I was wondering when you're going to come here to meet your death, it's good that you came so quickly."
Hanzo is very upset that Ryuu is holding him in the Four Violet Flames Formation.
He tried to get out more than once and tried to destroy the formation, but he could not, and all his attempts failed.
Previously, anger raged inside Hanzo, but after a while his anger subsided as he thought, 'Does he think he can hold me here forever? Once his clones chakra runs out, the Four Violet Flames Formation will dissipate and when I get out I'll kill them.'
But now he didn't have to wait for the Ryuu clones' chakra to run out because both Tsunade and Ryuu had entered the Four Violet Flames Formation, which meant they had brought themselves to their doom, Hanzo believed.
As Hanzo looked at them in displeasure, Tsunade spoke to Ryuu, "Don't interfere in the fight, I will fight him alone and defeat him."
"Okay, he's your opponent. I won't intervene unless you're in danger." Ryuu retreated and gave space for Tsunade and Hanzo to fight each other.
Ryuu looked at Tsunade's stats and smiled, now she really had the strength to fight Hanzo.
Before she used Sage Mode, Tsunade's stats were like this.
[Name: Tsunade Senju
STR= Kage (Low) =147
AGI= Kage (Low) =112
Chakra= Super Kage =6,958]
And her stats became like this after using Sage Mode.
[Name: Tsunade Senju
STR= Kage (Mid) =184
AGI= Kage (Low) =140
Chakra= Super Kage =6,958]
And Hanzo's stats are like this
[Name: Hanzo
STR= Kage (Mid) =179
AGI= Kage (High) =210
Chakra= Kage =3,374]
So after Tsunade used the Sage Mode, she surpassed Hanzo in terms of strength and chakra quantity, but Hanzo still had more speed and agility.
Tsunade moved toward Hanzo and when she got close to him, she sent a punch in the face.
Hanzo avoided the attack by tilting his head to the side, then he grabbed Kusarigama tightly and swung it toward Tsunade to try to cut her off.
(A kusarigama is a weapon consisting of a sickle attached to a chain.)
Tsunade uses her elbow with Chakra Enhanced Strength to hit Hanzo's kusarigama.
The one meter long kusarigama that seemed solid and powerful was completely shattered by Tsunade's attack, at this moment Hanzo used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly get away from Tsunade.
The Chakra Enhanced Strength Technique became much stronger after Tsunade entered Sage Mode, and Ryuu was sure that if he fought with her, she would have the ability to break the Susanoo's defense if she used all her power.
From this, Ryuu learned that by using techniques, a person's natural strength level could be greatly exceeded.
This means that although Tsunade's strength appears to be only 184 in the stats, Tsunade's offensive power far exceeds this number.
If Tsunade punches Ryuu with all her might, he won't come out unscathed even if he uses all his strength not to mention Hanzo who is weaker than Ryuu.
This means that this fight will end if Hanzo gets one punch from Tsunade.
After that, the fight between Tsunade and Hanzo continued, but Hanzo created a certain distance between him and Tsunade. As long as Tsunade was approaching, Hanzo would retreat while using long-range attacks.
He's no fool for making Tsunade get close to him after seeing what she is capable of.
The battle went on like this,Tsunade pursues Hanzo while Hanzo retreats and uses long range attacks.
Hanzō of the Salamander who earned the title of demi-god deservedly earned this title due to his own strength, Hanzō believed that in this world he was only under Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara. But now this strong person is afraid of being attacked by even just one attack from Tsunade.
"Look at yourself, you are a man but you are afraid of a taijutsu fight with a woman. If you are a man, come and fight me closely." Tsunade taunted Hanzo, making him feel annoyed.
"Sorry but I don't see you as a woman, all I look at is a raging gorilla." Hanzo smiled as he looked at Tsunade and likened her to a gorilla.
"Hanzo, you seem to want to die quickly so I will gladly do it for you." The fact that Hanzo called her a gorilla in front of Ryuu made Tsunade's very angry.
Tsunade applied Chakra Enhanced Strength to the soles of her feet and stomped hard on the ground.
The ground under Tsunade's feet and the surrounding area were completely shattered, but Tsunade disappeared from its place and appeared in front of Hanzo very quickly.
Tsunade usually lacks speed but she thought of using Chakra Enhanced Strength Technique on her feet and then using Body Flicker Technique, and she made her own new technique.
Tsunade was hiding this trump well, and was waiting for the right opportunity to use it against Hanzo.
Hanzo couldn't evade the attack so he tightly grabbed the remaining part of Kusarigama and swung it toward Tsunade's belly to try to sever it.
Tsunade did not dodge this attack even though she knows that she will be seriously injured if the attack hits her.
Tsunade's belly was cut open but Tsunade sent a devastating punch to Hanzo's chest, Hanzo's body flying like a missile and his body crashing into the walls of Four Violet Flames Formation.
All the bones on Hanzo's body were shattered by a single punch, Hanzo lay dead.
Ryuu quickly approached Tsunade with anxiety covering his face, but Tsunade smiled at him, "I'm fine, this wound will heal in a moment."
The large wound that was on Tsunade's belly started to spurt out white steam as she recovered quickly and the naked eye could see it.
This is not caused by Creation Rebirth Technique and not by Ninja Art Creation Rebirth — Strength of a Hundred Technique but rather a feature of Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode that uses natural energy to heal wounds.
If Hanzo had known that Tsunade had such a trick, he wouldn't have died so quickly.
At the time when he attacked Tsunade, he thought she would dodge the attack and stay away from him and he didn't expect that she would receive his attack directly.
This is the benefit of hiding trump cards from opponents.
