Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Tsunade questioned loudly, her face showing anger.

"Hahaha~, I didn't expect that you, as the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, the disciple of the Third Hokage, and one of the famous Legendary Sannin, would know nothing at all. It's hilarious. It seems you're not much of a big deal among the Konoha ninjas."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Kirito immediately burst into laughter.

After saying that, he released his water clone, allowing the swordsman Chunin who was about to drown to come out of the water prison jutsu.

"What do you mean?"

Tsunade said, frowning.

Then, as if realizing something, she glanced at the few Konoha Chunin nearby.

The four Konoha Chunin who were still conscious immediately lowered their heads or turned away guiltily, not daring to meet Tsunade's gaze.

In fact, contrary to Kirito's words, Tsunade has a very high reputation among the Konoha ninjas. This is not only because of her own illustrious status, but also because as a medical ninja, she personally trained a large number of outstanding medical ninjas and saved countless Konoha ninjas on the battlefield.

Therefore, among the three legendary Sannin, Tsunade's prestige is undoubtedly the highest among the Konoha ninjas.

Many Konoha ninjas hoped that Tsunade would succeed the Third Hokage and become the Fourth Hokage.

The Chunin, who had once received a favor from Tsunade, felt a chill run down his spine looking at her icy gaze. Finally, he could only steel himself and say, "Lady Tsunade, we..."

But before he could finish speaking, Tsunade rudely interrupted him: "That's enough. We'll deal with you when we get back."

As a top-tier medical ninja, Tsunade is naturally meticulous and intelligent, far surpassing her foolish younger brother, Nawaki. Based on the slightest clues, she guessed the cause and effect of the current situation, and the guilty behavior of the Chunin swordsmanship expert undoubtedly confirmed her guess.

What a bunch of troublesome idiots.

a shame.

"It seems you understand what's going on. I have no intention of being an enemy of Konoha. Farewell."

Kirito saw Tsunade's actions, sneered, and then began to slowly back away.

"Wait a minute, are you mistaken? Hattori Masanari, who said I was going to let you go? As a rogue ninja from Amegakure, isn't it normal for us Konoha ninjas to deal with you? I've heard you're a master of Water Release ninjutsu. Let me learn from you today."

"Tsunade said coldly."

As soon as she finished speaking, a large crater appeared beneath her feet, and she rushed towards Kirito at a speed even faster than the Body Flicker Technique.

Although she disliked distorting the truth, she could not turn a blind eye to the scandal of Konoha ninjas disrupting peace. This matter had to be covered up and corrected, otherwise Konoha's international reputation would suffer serious damage.

Fortunately, Hattori Masanari is a rogue ninja, and he has no voice in the international arena. His words are generally ignored by other countries.

The five Konoha ninjas will be severely punished by Konoha after they return, but Hattori Masanari cannot be let go easily.

The other party just said that she returned to the Land of Rain to contribute to the Land of Rain. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the opportunity is rare now. Her action to deal with this rogue Amegakure ninja is a good thing for Konoha and even for the peace between the two villages.

"You really are a persistent woman. Well then, let me experience the power of the Konoha princess."

Kirito sighed as he watched Tsunade rushing towards him at high speed.

Although he didn't want to be enemies with Tsunade, he was actually very much looking forward to fighting a strong person like Tsunade.

The next moment, he clapped his hands and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Tsunade's fist struck the air.

A dozen meters away, Kirito emerged from the water and then disappeared again. After repeating this three times, he reappeared a hundred meters away from Tsunade.

Water Release: Water Instantaneous Body Technique!

At the same time, he quickly formed seals with his hands.

Five hand seals in one second, ninjutsu complete.

A huge water dragon appeared rapidly from behind him, rushing menacingly towards Tsunade.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Chapter 82: First Battle with Tsunade (Part 2)

"Humph."

Facing the massive, menacing water dragon, Tsunade made no attempt to dodge, charging straight at it and delivering a punch.

A tremendous force erupted from Tsunade's fist in an instant.

Tsunade's fist smashed the head of the water dragon, and the powerful gust of wind from the punch destroyed the water dragon's massive body.

Superhuman strength punch!

The Senju clan's secret technique, passed down through generations, involves precisely controlling chakra and concentrating it in any part of the body, then unleashing terrifying power and a strong current of energy.

"We must not let this move hit us."

Kirito watched as Tsunade shattered his Water Dragon Bullet with a single punch, and silently warned himself.

Because it was a secret technique of the Senju clan, Kirito didn't learn it from Mito, and Nawaki's chakra manipulation was so poor that he couldn't learn it.

He watched as Tsunade charged forward again, then decisively clapped his hands together once more, using the Water Instantaneous Body Technique to create enough distance between himself and Tsunade, before forming hand seals once more.

This time, he successfully released a new water-style ninjutsu with just two hand seals.

This is one of the many new water-style ninjutsu he learned from the memories of Hattori Masashige, a Jonin from Amegakure.

Water Release: Breaking the Torrent!

A large amount of rainwater quickly gathered together, forming a huge wave more than 20 meters high, which rushed towards Tsunade.

On this battlefield where water is everywhere, the chakra required for him to use water-style techniques is greatly reduced, and the power of his ninjutsu is also increased significantly.

This time, facing the surging, massive waves, Tsunade could no longer rely solely on her superhuman strength to directly confront Kirito's Water Release ninjutsu.

She stopped and quickly formed hand seals.

As the princess of Konoha, ninjutsu is not a precious thing to her. In addition to taijutsu and medical ninjutsu, she also has mastered many other ninjutsu. However, compared to her family's taijutsu, which can easily kill the enemy with one blow, she finds it troublesome and rarely uses ninjutsu in battle.

But this does not mean that she is not proficient in ninjutsu combat.

On the contrary, she possesses exceptional chakra control and is proficient in various elemental esoteric techniques, with water and earth being her most skilled techniques.

She successfully used the ninjutsu with just one hand seal.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

A massive earthen wall rose instantly from the ground, as solid as a reef, blocking the surging waves.

Tsunade leaped onto the earthen wall, looking down at Kirito, and sneered loudly, "As expected of Masashige who ran away, you're really fast."

"Haha, thank you for your praise, Princess of Konoha. But even if you praise me like this, I will not fight you in close combat. Your fists are too hard, I dare not touch them."

Kirito laughed loudly when he heard Tsunade's mockery, taking pride in it instead of feeling ashamed.

Upon hearing Kirito's shameless response, Tsunade's expression grew even colder, further reinforcing her perception of how difficult Kirito was to deal with.

This time, the enemy she encountered was truly troublesome. The opponent's chakra control was no less than hers, and the fact that he could use the Water Instantaneous Body Technique without hand seals was extremely troublesome for her. This was the kind of ninjutsu-type ninja that she hated the most, one who could fight while running.

A ninja who possesses both speed and the ability to unleash ninjutsu without hand seals is a nightmare for a taijutsu-type ninja like her.

Short arms have always been the biggest weakness of taijutsu-type ninjas.

If you don't have an advantage in speed, you'll basically become a target for the enemy.

She had to admit that the Rain Ninja in front of her, named Hattori Masanari, was the strongest Rain Ninja she had ever seen, apart from Hanzo the Salamander.

"Lady Tsunade, we're here to help you."

Seeing that Tsunade couldn't capture Kirito quickly, the surrounding Konoha ninja exchanged glances and tacitly decided to take action.

On the battlefield, it is common for the enemy to outnumber the enemy.

Because Kirito is all alone.

At this time, the pineapple-headed Chunin had been revived by Tsunade's shadow clone and regained his fighting ability. The blind ninja was also dug out of the ground by his comrades. There were also three more Konoha Chunin brought by Tsunade on the battlefield, one of whom was a ninja from the Hyuga clan.

Eight Konoha Chunin divided into four groups and launched a simultaneous attack on Kirito from four directions.

"A bunch of idiots, get out of here!"

Upon seeing this, Tsunade said anxiously.

She had already personally experienced how difficult Kirito was to deal with. Even if she had eight more Chunin to help her, it wouldn't affect the overall situation; it would only increase casualties.

"Hmph, a bunch of small fry, do you really think I have a good temper and won't kill you?"

Kirito and his group, lacking any sense of martial ethics, surrounded him, he said coldly.

He was a little angry.

Moreover, now that he is a rogue ninja from Amegakure, it's time for him to show his true colors, otherwise even a random Chunin would dare to attack and kill him.

As he spoke, he began to rapidly form hand seals, condensing a massive amount of chakra.

In less than a second, he successfully completed a new water-style ninjutsu.

Water Release: Water Rain!

This is a water-style ninjutsu that can summon a large amount of rain and then form a giant whirlpool.

Since there was plenty of rainwater on site, Kirito used it directly, saving the trouble of summoning water.

Four enormous water vortexes, each over ten meters in diameter, instantly appeared beneath the feet of the four groups of Chunin, and their range continued to expand rapidly.

Five of the eight Chunin were immediately swept into the suddenly appearing vortex, and the remaining three, even though they jumped up in time to dodge, still landed within the vortex's range.

In an instant, all eight Konoha Chunin were hit.

"stop!"

Seeing her companion in danger, Tsunade immediately roared and charged at Kirito.

Kirito decisively used Water Instantaneous Movement Technique again to create distance from Tsunade. At the same time, he released Water Clone Technique without hand seals, creating more than ten water clones to get close to Tsunade and further delay her.

As long as the caster doesn't fall, the vortex created by Water Release: Water Rain will not disappear.

If the enemy cannot break free in a short time, they will be torn apart by the high-pressure water flow in the whirlpool.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up with Kirito, Tsunade was both angry and anxious. She punched and destroyed all of Kirito's water clones that were attacking her, and then quickly formed hand seals to use a new ninjutsu.

Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core!

The next moment, four square rock pillars rose from the center of the four vortexes, rescuing the Konoha ninja trapped inside.

Meanwhile, Kirito's ninjutsu was also completed.
