Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Mito Uzumaki's eyes could see right through people's hearts.

"After you finish your practice, stay here for a meal before you leave."

Mito Uzumaki smiled kindly.

"……OK."

After Shiranui Sho hesitated before agreeing, Uzumaki Mito smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

"..."

Watching the departing figure of the venerable old man, Shiranui Sho looked puzzled.

He could sense that Mito Uzumaki's attitude towards him seemed somewhat different.

It was as if some kind of expectation was placed on him?

……

Inside the room, Tsunade was once again alone, sitting on the edge of the bed as if her body had lost its weight.

"Was that just now a dream, or...?"

Tsunade stared blankly at the closed door, subconsciously recalling the warm touch on her cheek when she was half-asleep.

Even when she was half-asleep, she lifted her heavy eyelids and vaguely caught a glimpse of that tall figure out of the corner of her eye.

However, she was so engrossed in her emotions that the sense of incongruity flashed through her mind and was quickly forgotten.

"This kid..."

She tried to show displeasure, but the warm feeling seemed to dissolve all her negative emotions.

In a recent dream, she seemed to have returned to many years ago.

While her parents were still alive, her grandmother would gently pat her back to lull her to sleep.

Her baby brother, still in swaddling clothes, would give her an innocent and pure smile.

This feeling hasn't been around for many years.

Therefore, she couldn't bring herself to blame anyone.

The final expression that came out was one of lingering reminiscence.

"whispering sound."

She gently patted her cheeks to shake off the strange emotions swirling in her heart, then quickly got out of bed and changed her clothes.

Five minutes later, in the Senju family's courtyard.

Tsunade's Super Strength Mini-Lesson will start a little later.

"Super strength is actually just a general term."

Tsunade's expression remained unchanged as she raised one finger in front of Shiranui Sho, her crimson nails shimmering slightly in the sunlight.

"Whether it's through ninjutsu or secret techniques, anything that can unleash high-intensity power in an instant can be called superhuman strength."

Our Senju clan possesses unique techniques for generating power, earning us the reputation of having superhuman strength from our enemies, a tradition passed down from the Warring States period to the present day.

"so it is."

Shiranui Sou suddenly realized.

In other words, the techniques of the Senju clan belong to superhuman strength, but superhuman strength cannot be simply equated with it.

Once he realized this, he became even more envious of the superhuman strength techniques.

The technique of superhuman strength does not rely on the bloodline of the Senju clan; it is not a bloodline limit, but simply a technique.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to pass it on to Haruno Sakura and the others later.

In terms of destructive power alone, Tsunade's superhuman strength is in no way inferior to some powerful ninjutsu!

Just as he was listening intently, eager to hear what profound theories Tsunade would reveal next, a malicious smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful face with bright eyes and white teeth.

Then, she raised her small fist and waved it in front of Shiranui Xiao.

A whooshing sound rang out, and a punch carrying immense power arrived with a bang.

"……and many more!"

The sudden sense of crisis made Shiranui Sho's hair stand on end, and as her mouth twitched, she retreated rapidly.

Tsunade's seemingly weak fist slammed into the ground, causing the earth to cave in and clods of earth to rise up.

"Someone could die from this sudden action!"

"The best time to learn about superhuman strength is when you confront it directly!"

Faced with Shiranui Sho's questioning, Tsunade simply smiled.

"Last time I asked you if your shoulders could handle this, and you didn't deny it. Stop talking nonsense and come on!"

Chapter 40 Tsunade's Concern

Shiranui Xiao is very adaptable.

The sudden shift from theoretical to practical teaching initially caught him off guard and threw him into disarray.

Tsunade's strength is indeed much greater than his current level, but this is not a life-or-death battle, and it is impossible for him to use his full strength.

Therefore, thanks to her skills, Shiranui Sho was able to hold her own against his attacks for a long time.

"This is superhuman strength. It's true that there's a big difference between being a teammate and being an opponent."

Shiranui Sho thought to herself with emotion.

While she may not have meant to tease him, Tsunade was indeed simply using her superhuman strength in battle.

With each powerful and sweeping attack, the pressure on him grew as the offensive intensified.

In a real battle, if Shiranui Sho couldn't win, she could simply use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

However, this was during a teaching session, and if he did this, he would probably find it difficult to grasp the secrets of superhuman strength.

Tsunade is right about at least one thing.

Face-to-face battles are indeed the best time to comprehend superhuman strength.

Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed slightly.

To avoid Tsunade's attacks, you need to pay close attention to her punches and kicks, and be aware of when she strikes.

He seemed to have also grasped a trick of the strange power.

Seeing the pink fist raised again, Shiranui Sho's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she chose... to continue dodging.

He certainly wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he could punch his opponent with just a slight understanding of superhuman strength techniques.

Even if he could somehow muster some superhuman strength, he would probably still be unable to escape having his bones broken by a single punch from someone as experienced as Tsunade.

Half an hour later, Tsunade, having finished her "morning exercise," shook her fists and let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had just drunk a bottle of ice-cold beer.

"Whew~ That was so satisfying!"

A layer of fine sweat appeared on Tsunade's fair forehead, and the worry between her brows seemed to have faded considerably after her outburst.

She smiled and said, "I'm going to take a shower first. You can practice by yourself."

Not far away, Shiranui's aura was slightly heavy.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to leave after having his fun, his lips twitched.

Shiranui Sho shifted her gaze from Tsunade's departing figure, regulating her breathing as she looked at a flat patch of ground beside her.

The learning period is over, and now it's time for verification.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his right fist, channeling the chakra from his dantian into his palm to envelop his right hand.

With his right fist carrying the full force of his body, he slammed it toward the ground, and just before making contact, it exploded outwards like a bomb.

boom--

His right fist slammed heavily into the ground, creating a dent and sending up gravel.

"There's a significant difference."

Shiranui Sho compared the crater she had created to the effect of Tsunade's crater, finding it to be less than one-fifth the size of the one she had created.

and……

He moved the fingers of his right hand slightly.

During the exertion of power, it seemed that the power of the chakra burst was not entirely directed outwards, but rather a portion of it burst inwards uncontrollably.

This loss of control resulted in some degree of injury to his ring and little fingers.

Its power is insufficient, and it could potentially injure the user, so it is undoubtedly far from being suitable for actual combat.

Thinking of this, Shiranui Sho took out the Flying Thunder God kunai from her ninja tool pouch and weighed it in her hand.

One of the reasons he wanted to learn Super Strength was that he wanted to enhance his close combat abilities and broaden the development direction of his Devil Fruit powers.

Having mastered the power of the Dark Fruit, he couldn't just aim to become a long-range mage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel envious of the beautiful scenery and charm of the sea.

Not all the strong in that world were born with bodies of steel; some developed them through training.

I don't know if it's because people in different worlds have different constitutions. If I have the chance to go there again, I might pay attention to this aspect.

Unfortunately, since returning from Kaguya Otsutsuki's place, I haven't had that strange feeling for many days.

Not long after, Tsunade returned leisurely to the courtyard after taking a shower, with a few water droplets still clinging to her blond hair and the wet ends of her hair lying on her shoulders.

Upon noticing the smaller, deeper pit on the ground, a hint of surprise flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

"Not bad."

Her gaze swept over Shiranui Xiao.

She really didn't expect that this kid could already use his superhuman strength.

Although in terms of power, I'm still a ways from completely mastering it, I've already made it into the basics.

Noticing that Shiranui Sho's fingers seemed somewhat unnatural, Tsunade's eyes flickered slightly as she walked up to him, a soft green light shimmering in her palm.

Shiranui Sho felt a cool breath envelop her injured finger, and then the pain subsided.

He was no stranger to the Palm Healing Technique.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

"Come on, let's eat."

Tsunade's expression was slightly unnatural. After looking away, she left Shiranui Sho with her back turned.

Shiranui Sho blinked in confusion, but quickly caught up with the other person.

After having dinner there, he said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he earnestly thanked Mito Uzumaki for his hospitality, to which the old man simply returned a kind smile.

The Senju family's gate closed, leaving only Mito Uzumaki and Tsunade supporting her in the courtyard.

"Grandma, you... seem to value him a lot?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tsunade couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

She could sense that her grandmother's concern for Shiranui Sho went beyond just caring for the younger generation in the village.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have deliberately suggested that the other person stay for a meal before leaving.

Faced with Tsunade's questions, Mito Uzumaki gradually slowed his pace.

"Grandma values ​​her because you value her, Tsunade."

Mito Uzumaki looked at her granddaughter with affection, gently patting her hand that was supporting her, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"What?! How could I possibly..."

Tsunade, who instinctively wanted to refute, suddenly stopped and stood frozen in place, somewhat stunned.

"Me...?"
