Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 118 Susanoo

Aokiji felt that he no longer needed to stay here.

His suggestion was endorsed by the rest of the team.

Neither of them are good people anyway, so there's no point in them staying here. Let them fight like dogs.

"Heh, now that you know my secret, do you think I'll let you leave?"

Let them go back to the village, and then let the Uchiha clan members come back to remove their eyes?

Dokai isn't that stupid.

"That's true..." Aokiji laughed, "With our strength, you shouldn't be able to stop us from leaving."

Dokai smirked, exuding confidence as if he had everything under control: "Don't worry, since I've told you, I naturally have the absolute strength to make sure none of you suffer the consequences."

Having said that, he looked into Aokiji's eyes, his gaze filled with greed and fervor: "I want your eyes."

A deep sense of dread flashed in Aokiji's eyes.

This feeling of being treated as someone's private property made him unhappy and also created a strange sense of unease.

What exactly is it that makes them feel so confident in dealing with all four of them at once?

They were even prevented from escaping.

He felt fear towards the unknown.

Suddenly, as if to dispel the unease, a warm sensation came to my shoulder.

A fair hand pressed on his slightly trembling shoulder.

"Aokiji, I will not hand you over, absolutely not."

Tsunade's clear voice contained an unwavering will.

Thanks……

Aokiji was quite moved. He closed his eyes, opened them, and shook off his unease. His expression turned grim: "If you want my eyes, then bring it on if you can."

Judging from the abilities they've shown so far, the enemy on the other side is much faster than any of the four of them. If they rashly try to escape, they will inevitably expose a weakness.

During the standoff, both sides held their breath and focused intently. At this moment, any slight movement would be exceptionally noticeable. Therefore, when a third party entered the scene, it would naturally attract special attention.

A young man walked over; he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face looked quite honest.

Aokiji had a pretty good impression of him; I think his name was something like "Black Charcoal."

"What are you doing here? Get out of here. This is not a place for you."

Jiraiya knew that the group that had given them the mission was no good, but out of humanitarianism, he spoke up to warn them.

Black Charcoal shook his head and said to himself, "I no longer need to hide from XZ."

Everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

Black Charcoal ripped away his usual cowardly facade, bursting into laughter and revealing his true colors: "Because I have gained power."

"What?!"

Everyone stared in astonishment, not understanding what this person was babbling about.

Black Charcoal let out a chilling laugh: "Now you must think I'm a madman, right? Fine, let me show you the real me after I've gained power."

After saying this, his body began to change noticeably. First, his physique changed visibly, as if he were being inflated. His muscles swelled, his shirt ripped, and strange black patterns appeared on his muscular muscles. His black hair stood on end, and he even had black eyeshadow on his eyes.

Tsunade sensed the immense chakra emanating from him and promptly relayed it to her companions: "Such vast chakra! From him, I can sense chakra that rivals Dokai's, and it's continuously increasing in strength. It seems he'll soon surpass Dokai completely."

"First of all, I have to thank you, Konoha ninjas. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today."

Black Charcoal seemed to be showing off, spreading his hands out in a triumphant manner, completely unlike his previous timid and submissive self.

Aokiji looked completely bewildered: "What exactly is going on?"

"Ah~ how should I put it, actually I am the real Momonosuke."

When Momonosuke #2 sighed and said this, everyone present except him was shocked.

In particular, Dokai seemed to suddenly understand something, his eyes wide with anger: "So that's how it is, that fake Momonosuke was a smokescreen you deliberately released, wasn't it?"

Momonosuke No. 2 slowly began to narrate.

After hearing this, Aokiji roughly understood the cause and effect.

This Kurozumi is actually the real Momonosuke. Because he was afraid that one day his true identity would be discovered, he has been hiding under the name Kurozumi all this time. Even the host version of Momonosuke himself did not know this, and he firmly believed that he was the real Momonosuke.

Little did he know, he was always a substitute for the real Momonosuke, a pawn that could be discarded when necessary.

Just like in this mission, he deliberately exposed his identity as a male escort version of Momonosuke, all to get Dokai to capture him. This way, the Konoha ninja would be forced to go to his aid for dereliction of duty, leading to a conflict with Dokai. Momonosuke #2.0 would then use this opportunity to launch a coup, and incidentally, infiltrate the altar to activate the power left behind by their ancestors.

Although there was a slight mishap along the way, the plan was generally successful. He had obtained the power of his ancestors and his body was full of chakra. He no longer had to hide and live in fear every day.

Aokiji's face darkened when he saw this second Momonosuke.

No wonder he begged me to rescue the host-turned-Momonosuke back then; it turns out he did it all so I could draw attention to him...

Can we have less gimmicks and more sincerity?

Aokiji felt that he was an honest person.

But never mind, overall, the interests of both sides are now aligned.

Having received the power of his ancestors, Momonosuke #2, perhaps because he had suppressed his power for too long, immediately rushed towards Dokai to demonstrate his strength.

He's truly brainless, but he's also incredibly fierce.

At this moment, Momonosuke #2 is even stronger than Dokai in a one-on-one fight.

"Go to hell."

With a roar, Momonosuke No. 2 unleashed countless powerful punches, each one like a mountain collapsing, its momentum like thunder.

Dokai was caught off guard and his body was swallowed whole by the gaping maw. He slammed his back against the wall with a loud thud, and when the dust settled, he was found lying on the wall, spitting blood.

Seeing that he was spitting blood, it was clear that he was genuinely injured and not faking it.

Seeing this, Aokiji wondered if it was really over?

Based on the opponent's performance just now, he felt that even if they could ensure that none of them could escape, it was uncertain whether they could even defeat all four of them...

Momonosuke No. 2 pressed his advantage, stomping his foot and cracking the ground. He channeled the force into his right leg, then stomped forward like a bullet, launching himself forward. He then swung his fist and delivered a powerful blow to the face.

"I'm going to be the King of Wa—!"

After saying that, Kaido was completely defeated, and he should have been loved by the people and become the new king. That's how it should have been, so why is he lying on the ground now?!

Moreover, it felt as if all the bones in my body were cracked, and the pain penetrated to the bone marrow.

"What did you just say you wanted to become a king?!"

Upon hearing this disdainful remark, Momonosuke struggled to lift his neck.

At this moment, the man was looking down at the ant with his condescending, scarlet eyes, coldly observing it.

The three tomoe in his eyes were gone, replaced by strange and bizarre patterns.

"This is..."

Momonosuke No. 2's pupils constricted, reflecting the blue figure, and a cold aura carried on the wind.

A series of rounded blue ribs materialized around Dokai's body, connected to a huge, skeletal hand.

This was the very thing that attacked him just now. It was so fast that he couldn't react in time, and so strong that he was lying on the ground unable to move.

As ribs and arms appeared, then even the bones of the head grew out, making the body resemble a human skeleton.

Then, it was far from over. While the upper body was still a skeleton, it began to be covered with flesh and blood and meridians. A pair of huge bull horns even grew on the left and right sides of the head, with piercing eyes and a ghostly appearance.

The blue demon raised its hand, and blue energy burst forth from its palm, forming a thick spiked mace, crackling with lightning.

"Lightning Release: Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Seeing this scene, Aokiji stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his face ashen, as if he had lost his parents.

Susanoo, please!
