Konoha's Hextech Ninja

The delay of more than ten minutes was solely to observe the two women's abilities in various aspects, as well as their physical strength, chakra levels, and so on.

Although Tsunade did not intend to lead the team herself, she had already decided to leave everything to Yoruichi Yagami.

But since they are his nominal 'subordinates,' it's still necessary to understand them.

"Your turn, brat." Tsunade clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking, as if he intended to give Yagami Yoruichi a good beating.

"Teacher, after using two shadow clones, don't you need to recover your chakra?" Yagami Yoru remained expressionless, but his hands had already quietly risen, forming a 'forward' hand seal in front of his chest.

In Tobirama Senju's version of Water Release, many ninjutsu can be started with this hand seal.

If mastered to its fullest extent, a single 'forward' hand seal can activate more than half of the Water Release techniques, making it one of Yoruichi Yagami's favorite 'starting stances'.

"You don't think I haven't mastered the technique of controlling the amount of chakra that the shadow clones can distribute, do you?"

Tsunade took a few steps back and stopped ten meters away. She said to Yoruichi Yagami, "Don't say I'm bullying you. This distance is safe enough for you with your strength. You can make the first move!"

"Hong, Lin, move back a bit and go up to that building over there." Yagami Yoruichi gestured to a small tower in the distance.

While Nohara Rin was still in a daze, Yuhi Kurenai had already pulled her along and ran quickly toward the tower.

He shouted as he ran, "Run! If we stay here, we'll definitely get hurt!"

"Do we have to run this far?" Nohara Rin glanced at the tower over a thousand meters away.

Kurenai Yuhi recalled a time when Inahi Uchiha asked to see the full extent of Yoruichi Yagami's Water Release technique at its strongest.

That was the first time Kurenai Yuhi realized the meaning of the phrase 'utter destruction'.

Kurenai Yuhi shuddered involuntarily and exclaimed, "Believe me, if Yoruichi-kun gets serious, he's absolutely terrifying!"

Nohara Rin was skeptical, but since Yagami Yoruichi and Yuhi Kurenai had both said so, and Tsunade hadn't objected, she had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and follow Yuhi Kurenai to the tower at the edge of the training ground.

"Teacher, are you sure that if I go all out here, nothing will happen?"

Yagami Yoruichi reminded him, "My strength might be greater than you think."

"Humph."

Tsunade understood the subtext in Yagami Yoruichi's words.

They were simply afraid that if they revealed their strength, they would be forced by the village leaders to carry out difficult tasks, or even be targeted by the village leaders.

After all, Danzo Shimura had a criminal record, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had an ambiguous relationship with Danzo Shimura.

"You underestimate your teacher too much." Tsunade sneered, then said angrily, "Even if... I don't believe anyone would dare to lay a hand on my disciple!"

For the first time, Tsunade herself said that Yagami Yoruichi was her 'disciple'.

Although, Yagami Yoruichi has not yet completed the training of the 'Yin Seal'.

"So, I've damaged this place, you won't make me pay for it, will you?" Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile, "I don't have any money to pay for it."

"It's just a training ground. If you're so capable, why not tear it down?!"

Tsunade snapped, "Your little girlfriends have already hidden in a safe place. Hurry up and make your move, or I'll make the first strike!"

Yagami Yoruichi turned her head and glanced at Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara, who had already climbed to the top of the tower and were waving in their direction.

At over a thousand meters high, and with the tower providing protection, it's safe enough.

Seeing that Tsunade couldn't wait any longer, Yagami Yoruichi no longer hesitated. Maintaining the 'forward' hand seal, she quickly clasped her hands together, and a large amount of water gushed out from her mouth.

"Water Release - Who repaired the dam!"

Right from the start, Yagami Yoruichi used her largest water-style ninjutsu, which could change the terrain in an instant, in an attempt to create a battlefield that was advantageous to her.

Chapter 129 An eight-year-old Kage-level? What kind of monster is this?!

A giant wave tens of meters high swept in, as if it would submerge the entire training ground.

Water Release: Great Explosive Water Shock Wave!

Tsunade was naturally familiar with this ninjutsu.

The original version had a total of eighteen seals, but Tobirama Senju improved it so that it could be performed with just a clap of both hands.

However, Yagami Yoruichi's mastery of this ninjutsu is far from that of Senju Tobirama; it requires at least two hand seals.

This is one of the ninjutsu that water-style ninjas, who are proficient in water-style techniques, like to use to alter the terrain.

Once this area is completely submerged, it will become Yoruichi Yagami's home turf.

If a taijutsu-type ninja like Tsunade were to fall into the water, it would be extremely difficult for her to deal with Yoruichi Yagami's relentless attacks.

Fortunately, while the Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave is very powerful in changing terrain, it also has a significant drawback: the process of forming the ninjutsu takes a certain amount of time.

"Painful feet!"

Gang slammed his foot heavily onto the ground, and huge rocks rose from the earth, blocking the waves.

At the same time, more boulders emerged from the seabed and rose to the surface.

Tsunade leaped into the air, stepping on a series of giant rocks, and quickly approached Yagami Yoruichi.

Just by glancing at Tsunade's speed, Yoruichi Yagami immediately realized that if she continued to maintain the Great Explosion Water Shock, she would be caught up by Tsunade in less than a second and then forced into close combat.

Although Yagami Yoruichi considered herself to be quite capable in close combat, she was not so arrogant as to think she could fight against a veteran Kage-level ninja like Tsunade, whose fighting style was closer to taijutsu.

Only by using long-range ninja bombardment can they have a chance of winning.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yoruichi Yagami immediately interrupted the Great Explosion Water Shock.

However, the water that was created earlier is still flowing in the training ground and has not disappeared.

As long as the chakra in the water doesn't completely dissipate, this water can remain for a very long time.

"Although it's not quite there, it still has the advantage of being in a good location."

Yagami Yoruichi withdrew the chakra she had used to tread water, and with a splash, she fell into the water, using the 'Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique' to move quickly.

Its speed was several times faster than Tsunade's when she was running at high speed.

The only drawback is that the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique can only be performed in the presence of water, which severely limits the applicable scenarios for this ninjutsu.

However, at this moment, it was just right to help Yoruichi Yagami quickly create distance between herself and Tsunade.

"Want to escape?!"

Tsunade has an incredibly rich combat experience, and she has even personally fought Hanzo the Salamander, so she naturally knows how troublesome the Water Instantaneous Body Technique is.

Without hesitation, she punched the water, trying to use the current to transmit her superhuman strength to a distant place.

Boom!

A terrifying giant wave rose again, almost forming a tsunami in size.

Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~!

Several figures emerged from the water and rushed into the air.

It was clearly a clone.

Which one is the original entity?

Tsunade quickly began to observe.

Five Yagami Yoruichi simultaneously formed various hand seals in different positions.

At most one of them is the main body, or they may all be clones.

For a short time, Tsunade was unable to distinguish between her main body and her clone, and could only subconsciously rush towards the nearest clone.

The short distance of a hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye. Before the shadow clone could dive back into the water and complete its ninjutsu, it was blasted apart by Tsunade's punch.

However, in the short time that was wasted, Yagami Yoruichi's main body and her three clones had already completed their respective ninjutsu.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!"

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

Three water-style ninjutsu and one wind-style ninjutsu were activated simultaneously, attacking Tsunade from different directions.

Although those three water-style ninjutsu were powerful, they were merely a pretext to distract Tsunade.

The Wind Release: Vacuum Jewel, which is completely transparent and leaves almost no trace, is the true killer weapon.

To make the disguise more convincing, when Yagami Yoruichi used 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave', he even deliberately separated a portion of his chakra to shoot out two water jets from the shadow clone who was using 'Wind Release: Vacuum Ball', making it appear as if four water releases were attacking at the same time.

However, such tricks can be effective against ordinary ninjas, and even most elite Jonin.

However, Tsunade's combat experience is incredibly rich, and her perception is exceptionally sharp, allowing her to accurately detect the hidden killing intent of Yoruichi Yagami.

Her response was even simpler.

No matter what kind of ninjutsu it is, a powerful punch will smash it to pieces.

All of Yagami Yoruichi's attacks failed to get close enough to Tsunade to pose a real threat to her.

……

On the tower in the distance.

The two little girls stared in disbelief at the battle.

"Yoru...is Yoruichi really the same age as us?" Nohara Rin stared blankly at the terrifying scene in the distance.

The terrain was drastically altered, and the scale of each ninjutsu was such that she could not escape it no matter how hard she tried.

Its power was so great that even a mere ripple could easily kill her.

Such terrifying strength, and this is a newly promoted genin who is not even eight years old?!

"Tsunade-sama is amazing! She didn't even use ninjutsu, she just used taijutsu to deal with Yoruichi's attacks!" Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed with admiration.

She didn't understand the principles behind Tsunade's "Super Strength Fist" at all, thinking it was just pure martial arts.

But this did not diminish her admiration and awe for the two in the battle: "And Yoruichi-kun, he actually managed to fight Tsunade-sama like this, and it seems he even has the upper hand."

"Was it because Lady Tsunade wasn't taking it too seriously?" Rin Nohara guessed. "Just like when she tested us earlier?"

Yoruichi Yagami's displayed strength is terrifying.

However, the education she received from a young age instilled in Rin Nohara a deeply ingrained 'ranking of Konoha's strength'.

Excluding those powerful figures who have passed away, the number one spot undoubtedly belongs to the 'Strongest Hokage,' the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Below the Hokage are the legendary 'Sannin of Konoha,' each of whom possesses strength second only to the Third Hokage.

Further down are the other ninjas.

Even if a 'genius' like Yoruichi Yagami displayed incredible fighting prowess, in Rin Nohara's mind, she still couldn't compare to those established veteran powerhouses.

After all, those veteran powerhouses were all brilliant geniuses in their youth.

Nohara Rin's idea is certainly not wrong.

However, this standard can only be applied to conventional geniuses such as Kakashi Hatake and Inaho Uchiha.

Clearly, Yoruichi Yagami is not the kind of 'conventional genius'.

The battle between Yoruichi Yagami and Tsunade was not so much 'earth-shattering'.

They didn't even unleash their full power.

Tsunade did not use the chakra from the Yin Seal, nor did she summon a slug.

Yagami Yoruichi controls the power of his ninjutsu. Even with the largest ninjutsu, he only uses no more than a thousand points of his chakra limit at a time, so as not to accidentally destroy the Senju clan's territory.

—If the injection of chakra were truly allowed to increase the scale of ninjutsu, Yagami Yoruichi's ninjutsu would cover a much wider area than just the training ground.

The Senju clan's training ground, though larger than the public training ground in Konoha Village, is still an irregular ellipse with a diameter of only two or three kilometers.

It's nothing compared to super-large training grounds that can easily span tens of kilometers in radius.

It's just a normal sparring match, not a life-or-death struggle, so there's no need to make a big fuss about it.

If Yagami Yoruichi were to unleash her chakra without restraint, the Senju clan's territory would likely be completely destroyed.

However, even this scene terrified the two little girls.

The legendary powerful ninjas who could destroy the world are actually real!
