Chapter 44: Konoha's Kage-Level Numbers, A Fierce Battle
The way Tsunade moved her hands was a stark contrast to her usual demeanor.
Containing terrifying power, a fist charged with Chakra suddenly blasted out.
The air vibrated violently.
Akainu felt a powerful storm rushing toward him. Tsunade's fist hadn't even hit him yet, but the wind pressure alone had already slammed into his body.
He watched Tsunade's flailing fist.
Courting death!
To dare rush forward without any defense against a Magma-Magma Fruit user... fighting him directly was simply asking to die.
Crimson lava rolled on Akainu's arm.
"Hellhound..."
Boom!!!
The storm surged suddenly as the two fists collided.
Tsunade's arm was completely fine; with a single punch, Chakra erupted instantly.
Akainu's magma burst and splashed out in all directions. Immediately afterward, Akainu himself was forced backward rapidly. He stumbled back five or six steps in a row before stabilizing his figure.
Lifting his head, Akainu looked at Tsunade in surprise.
The power of this woman... is as terrifying as a beast!
That a woman's fist could hold such power!
The countless eyes of both worlds were dumbfounded at this moment. The sight of Tsunade shaking the lava with her bare hands left the ninjas of the Ninja World stunned.
Fourth Raikage A: Is this the monstrous strength of the Senju clan? It's really terrifying!
Terumi Mei: This kind of ability to explode Chakra in an instant may require quite sophisticated Chakra control skills.
Nagato squinted at Tsunade on the field. He hadn't paid much attention to the granddaughter of the First Hokage before, but now she had to be taken seriously.
The Konoha Shinobi were cheering.
"Tsunade-sama is so strong! The opponent is lava! She was completely fearless and easily knocked him back with one punch!"
"So beautiful, so strong! Lady Tsunade is our idol!"
A female ninja spoke with longing in her eyes. The male ninja beside her, seemingly her partner, began to sweat. If his girlfriend became like that, he might have a very difficult life.
A smile appeared on Sarutobi's face at the Hokage building. "Tsunade... she's getting stronger and stronger!"
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who was by his side, didn't speak, but his eyes became gloomy.
Konoha had begun to weaken since the Sannin left the village and the Fourth Hokage was killed by the Nine-Tails. This originally strongest ninja village had lost its former deterrent power. Only the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was struggling to support the name of Konoha. Other villages were beginning to see hope of surpassing them.
But now, the Sannin had returned to the village, and almost instantly, the structure of the ninja world had changed drastically.
The Sannin! They represented the combat power of three top-tier ninjas. Whichever of them became the next Hokage could easily carry the title.
With the addition of Sarutobi, that old immortal thing, Konoha had four Kage-level ninjas at once. And Rasa remembered the rumors—there was still one hidden in the shadows of Konoha. Although that old fox hadn't made a move for a long, long time, he was close friends with Sarutobi, and his strength was likely Kage-level as well.
That made five Kage-level ninjas.
The strength of ninjas below Kage-level was not enough to change the pattern of a war. However, Kage-level ninjas could; that was why ninjas bearing the title of "Kage" were admired throughout the entire ninja world.
As for Konoha now, it was no exaggeration to say they could fight three villages one by one, and if the remaining one attacked, they still wouldn't be afraid.
Such a Konoha was too strong!
Rasa looked at the screen where Tsunade attacked again after the first blow, launching a stormy assault on the guy who used lava.
The vast amount of Chakra inherent to the Senju family allowed Tsunade to squander it wantonly without any sign of exhaustion.
Boom boom boom!!
On the duel field, Tsunade smashed the ground wildly. Wherever she passed, it was like a tornado sweeping through the country, leaving no land intact.
The magma erupted by Akainu was useless against Tsunade. Instead, he gradually discovered that the opponent's fist could hit his actual body. The weird energy covering her fist had the same effect as Armament Haki.
At this time, Akainu suddenly realized why Kizaru used Armament Haki to resist the woman's attack. The power these guys used could attack elemental bodies.
However, Akainu, now entangled by Tsunade, couldn't shake her off at all. In close quarters, Tsunade's speed was faster than his. Escape was impossible!
On the other side, Kizaru wanted to attack Tsunade to avenge the punch, but Jiraiya jumped out suddenly to stop him.
"Let me be your opponent!" Jiraiya said.
On the far side of the arena, Aokiji was attacking Orochimaru frantically. Since Tsunade was pursuing Akainu, the remaining Kizaru could only be dealt with by Jiraiya.
Kizaru looked at the wretched-looking man in front of him. "Aren't you worried that your companion will be killed by us?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya picked his nose. "Huh? Killed? Don't be kidding. The only ones who will be killed are your companions. At the same time, you have to be careful—you might get cut down by me!"
Kizaru shrugged. "Really? I'm already getting scared!"
Jiraiya scoffed. "Do you look scared like this?"
Suddenly, Kizaru frowned. "Did you know? Speed is power. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
Speed? Power? What was this guy talking about?
In an instant, Kizaru's body turned into a flash of light and appeared beside Jiraiya. His right leg spun 180 degrees like a great windmill, kicking Jiraiya's head hard from the right side.
The speed was so fast that it was completely impossible to react, even for Jiraiya.
Boom!!!
A flash of golden light hit Jiraiya instantly.
However, in the next second, it was Kizaru who was stunned.
Along with everyone in the entire Pirate World.
Jiraiya, who vanished into white smoke upon impact, seemed to have been kicked into a cloud of vapor.
What kind of ability is this? Kizaru wondered.
The weirdness of ninjutsu really caught people off guard.
"Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!"
Suddenly, Jiraiya appeared from beneath Kizaru's feet and grabbed his ankle, pulling him instantly into the earth.
Only his head was left exposed above ground.
"Underground?"
"When did this guy go underground?"
The people in the One Piece World didn't understand at all. Even Whitebeard hadn't seen when the opponent ran into the ground. He had been staring at Jiraiya the whole time and hadn't noticed any strange movements worth noting.
Whitebeard: How did this guy do it?
