Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 104 Inch Force Opens the Heavens

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and light streamed in. A dark figure entered the room, stood by the window, and looked down at the two people covered by blankets. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He held daggers in both hands, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

Die, you lackey of the Land of Fire!

The shadowy figure cursed inwardly and lunged at the two men. To ensure success, he secretly placed sleeping powder in the room, causing them to fall into a deep sleep.

Under these circumstances, he easily slit the necks of the two men with a dagger, and the two men, who were fast asleep, did not even put up a fight.

Before I could even get excited, there was a loud bang, and white smoke billowed from the bed.

This is a shadow clone.

In an instant, the bed exploded, sending wood chips flying and several chains of ice flying out.

The shadowy figure's pupils contracted, and it quickly retreated, its gaze fixed on the two figures that vaguely appeared in the smoke.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a man and a woman emerged gracefully.

The man had black hair, and the woman had blonde hair.

It was Aokiji and Tsunade.

Aokiji said to Tsunade beside him, "Listen to me, you can't go wrong."

Tsunade looked at the village chief in front of her and demanded sharply, "Why did you attack us?"

"Why do you ask? How dare you ninjas from the Land of Fire ask why?"

Under the cold moonlight, the village chief's fish-like face contorted with malice and filled with evil.

Aokiji felt bewildered. "We didn't dig up your ancestral graves, so why are you looking at us with such hatred?"

Before Tsunade could say anything more, Aokiji reached out to stop her and stepped forward, saying, "Let me do it. I prefer to win people over with virtue."

Seeing Aokiji being so proactive, Tsunade was surprised for a moment, then gave him the right to explain, casting a hopeful look at him.

"Hmph, what else do you have to say?"

A group of villagers appeared behind the village chief that morning.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Aokiji formed hand seals and immediately unleashed a Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. He stepped forward and greeted the enemy, and with a loud bang, smoke and dust swirled around them, and debris flew everywhere.

Tsunade was completely stunned, frozen in place: "Didn't you say you would win people over with virtue?"

Aokiji didn't take it to heart: "That's right, this is winning people over with virtue. Didn't you see how these people are acting like they won't listen to me? They're just like women who misunderstand men and are being unreasonable."

"So the right thing to do is to slap him first to calm him down, and then you can use words to persuade him."

Tsunade:……

Just then, a group of ugly-looking fishmen rushed up and surrounded them.

"Noisy."

Aokiji remained motionless, manipulating the six chains on his shoulders to sweep across the area, instantly sending the fishman in front of him flying, along with the fishman behind him.

Tsunade, being kind-hearted after all, said, "Hey, you've gone too far."

"Damn, this guy is so powerful."

The villagers, lying on the ground, gritted their teeth and said, "Everyone, let's attack together!"

"You guys retreat first, I'll handle these two."

The village chief rebuked him sternly.

"Hey, the way you're acting like it's a life-or-death farewell makes it sound like we're the bad guys."

Aokiji made a sarcastic remark.

"Water Release: Eight Octopus Water"

The village chief quickly accepted the seal, and eight tentacles made of water extended from his back. If you looked closely, there were even more tentacles on it, just like octopus tentacles.

"Hmm, a ninja?"

Aokiji put away his playful attitude, narrowed his eyes, became serious, and released a hand seal to put away the ice chains.

This ninjutsu still has many shortcomings, so in the current situation, it's best not to use it to practice.

The village chief's eight tentacles attacked simultaneously.

He quickly made a hand seal, his right hand pointing forward, three ice chains extending from his arm and shoulder, spiraling outwards, "Ice Chain Submerged Hand".

This is an extension of the Ice Chain Technique, and as you can tell from the name, it's somewhat similar to Orochimaru's Snake Shadow Stealth Technique.

With eight against three, the advantage lies with him.

The village chief thought to himself, but this wishful thinking was quickly shattered by the reality that Aokiji had given him three ice chains.

Seeing the shocked expression on the other party's face, Aokiji wore a matter-of-fact expression. Unless the opponent was much stronger than him, ordinary water-style techniques were no match for his ice-style techniques.

While the opponent was still in shock, Tsunade leaped high into the air and slashed down with her right foot with fierce momentum.

The Heavenly Foot.

Being kicked like that is no joke, Aokiji thought to himself, pursing his lips.

He clearly told me not to go too far, but he himself is so reckless.

The force of the kick was so great that it caused the ground to explode with a deafening roar, sending shards of stone flying everywhere. After the smoke cleared, a huge crater was formed on the ground.

The village chief, who had narrowly escaped the attack, was still shaken and covered in sweat. If he had been hit like that, he would have definitely suffered a broken bone. No wonder the Land of Fire sent two young ninjas to carry out the mission.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Thinking of this, a sense of frustration and humiliation welled up inside him. His mouth swelled up like a clam, and with a "whoosh," he spat out a large amount of water, which surged and crashed out like a raging torrent.

Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall Without End.

Aokiji countered the attack by extending his arms outwards, creating a semi-circular ice barrier centered on himself, as hard as stone, to block the fierce water.

The two sides exchanged blows briefly, and the village chief was repeatedly defeated, struggling to defend himself, and eventually retreated all the way to the nearby sea, where he disappeared without a trace.

Aokiji failed to capture the village chief. He and Tsunade planned to return to the village to ask some villagers why, but to their surprise, the huge village was suddenly empty, as if it had received advance notice and hidden away.

Tsunade and Aokiji locked eyes, both at a loss for what to do.

Aokiji scratched his head and suggested that they go back tomorrow morning and discuss the matter further.

Tsunade had no objection to this.

The next day, as dawn broke and the sun rose.

The two boarded a small boat, intending to leave, but where would they go? After sailing for some distance on the sea, they suddenly sensed something was wrong and decisively abandoned the boat and jumped away.

In mid-air, Aokiji looked down and, noticing the slightest detail, sensed that there were definitely creatures in the sea waiting for him to land so they could launch a surprise attack.

He activated Ice Release at his landing location to freeze a piece of land, providing a place for himself and Tsunade to land.

With her toes touching the ground, Tsunade glanced to the side, looking at that usually unserious but incredibly reliable profile in battle. She secretly fell in love with him, genuinely feeling that bringing him along to carry out the mission was a wise choice.

"They're here."

At this warning, Tsunade focused her mind and looked around. Countless heads peered out from the sea, their eyes menacing.

"thump."

As the first merman leaped out of the water, it seemed to receive some kind of signal, and countless mermen followed suit, swarming in with an extremely aggressive, 365-degree, no-blind-spot approach, launching a coordinated attack.

Aokiji remained expressionless, rapidly forming hand seals. Six ice chains erupted from his two shoulders, swirling wildly and swatting away everything in their path.

Despite the remarkable results, Aokiji was not complacent, knowing full well that this was no appetizer and the real big one was about to appear.

"Hehehe~~~"

The ice cracked open, and Aokiji and Tsunade jumped to the left and right. Looking down, they saw a creature breaking through the ice. It was dark green all over, with a lower body like a fish and an upper body like a human torso. It also had two arms, and its back protruded like a fish fin. Its whole body was strange, but the most strange thing was its face. Aokiji, at a loss for words, could only describe it as a Dota 1 hook face.

Although it looked very intimidating, Aokiji could still sense that this monster wasn't very strong; it was just a bit bigger, but far from being a tailed beast.

Aokiji and Tsunade exchanged a glance and quickly devised a battle plan.

Being too large often means making a lot of noise; as long as you seize this weakness, you can implement your plan.

Aokiji formed a hand seal and unleashed a powerful fireball technique. The simplest and most effective way to perfectly dodge this attack is to dive into the water, and you can also launch a surprise attack while you're in the water.

The Aokiji took advantage of this psychology and laid a layer of ice on the ground.

The monster will most likely come up from below, breaking through the ice to launch a sneak attack, just like before.

As expected, the monster repeated its attack. As Aokiji dodged the attack, he instantly summoned six ice chains to bind and control the monster.

If Aokiji hadn't not fully mastered this technique, he could have frozen him directly.

It doesn't matter, Tsunade will take action.

With a loud "boom," the monster was knocked down with a single punch, and the seawater on both sides broke apart, revealing its soft belly.

His superhuman strength and basic attacks were comparable to ninjutsu, which made Aokiji extremely envious, and he thought to himself:

Tsunade is an immortal!

Boundless magical power!

Konoha Flatbed!

A single-inch strike can cleave the heavens!

Tsunade leaped high into the air, her back to the sun, and swung her large arm, ready to beat the drowning monster. Just then, a figure jumped onto the monster; it was the village chief. He spread his arms to stop the attack.

Tsunade twisted her waist, did a backflip in mid-air, her legs splashing in the water, creating ripples: "We came to save you, why have you been hostile to us time and time again?"

Gang pointed at the other person and questioned them loudly.

The village chief wailed, tears welling in his eyes: "If you kill it, our entire village will be finished..."
