Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 140 Seduction Technique

A spring breeze blows, and the flowers and grasses sway.

Aokiji knew Naruto inside and out, so he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

Naruto, impulsive by nature, seeing his opponent hesitate to attack, simultaneously raised his index and middle fingers, crossing them to form a cross hand seal: "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

With a series of loud bangs, and as a puff of white smoke dissipated, dozens of Naruto figures suddenly appeared.

"Wow~~"

Not far away, Tsunade saw this, her eyelids slightly lifted, and she showed a hint of surprise.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is an extremely chakra-intensive ninjutsu. Not only does it require a large amount of chakra to use, but the energy consumed by these shadow clones is also fed back to the original body after they disappear. Without a large amount of chakra to support it, a person could suddenly die.

Creating so many shadow clones at once means either someone is stupid or possesses a massive amount of chakra.

Clearly, this Naruto Uzumaki belongs to the latter category, possessing an enormous amount of chakra.

Tsunade examined it closely with her eyes.

Judging from his surname and hair color, he is not a pure-blooded Uzumaki clan member. I really don't understand how he could possess such a huge amount of chakra.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade exclaimed in surprise, "You can actually create so many shadow clones at once!"

"Haha...this disciple does have some merits, doesn't he?" Jiraiya smiled smugly.

Naruto's foundation in various aspects is weak, but his vast chakra is enough to make up for it.

Tsunade snorted, thinking to herself that as expected of a Jinchūriki, her chakra reserves were simply outrageous.

Aokiji glanced at them, then smiled and praised, "Not bad."

Just as Naruto was about to raise his arms and shout, he heard these words of flattery and stopped in his tracks.

"With this level of chakra, I acknowledge you. In terms of chakra reserves, among all my peers, no one is more outstanding than you. I... uh, Aokiji is willing to call you the strongest."

This barrage of compliments left Naruto completely bewildered.

Due to his childhood experiences, he is not someone who can handle praise well, mainly because no one praises him, and he has no resistance to it.

Naruto was so overwhelmed by the praise that he was completely disoriented: "Haha, I never expected you to have such good taste!"

Oh no, this guy still doesn't realize he's been tricked...

Tsunade knows Aokiji too well; she's definitely plotting something scheming right now.

In reality, Tsunade misunderstood Aokiji.

What bad intentions could he possibly have?

Aokiji knows Naruto, if he comes up to taunt, in case he gets anxious later, it will be troublesome to explode the seeds.

This isn't just Aokiji talking nonsense.

There's a nine-tailed fox living inside him. When he gets emotional, his power surge is no joke.

That's why he started by praising and appeasing, like slowly boiling a frog in water.

"Hey, Aokiji, what are you doing? Hurry up and take care of this guy."

The strategist clenched his fist, urging the task forward in a huff.

Before the fight, she had specifically blew the Aokiji tune.

This guy is something else. Before the fight even starts, he's already praising his opponent. Isn't that just contradicting himself?

Aokiji waved lazily and replied, "Yes, yes, yes..."

"Although I find this guy quite pleasing to the eye, I'm sorry, but I have to win this battle." Naruto gave a heads-up before the fight officially began: "Here we go."

After saying that, numerous shadow clones of the crowd sped off, showing no mercy and immediately launching a group attack.

The figures came into view one after another, making it difficult for Aokiji to distinguish between the real and the illusory. With so many shadow clones, he probably couldn't tell them apart even if he used his Sharingan.

Facing a large number of Narutos at once, he finally understood what it meant to be overwhelmed by a flurry of punches.

At this time, Naruto's foundation in all aspects was quite weak. He was able to defeat one enemy after another by creating countless shadow clones with his abnormal chakra reserves. He could wear down his opponents with sheer numbers.

If they lose momentum, they will fall into a passive situation and eventually fall into Naruto's rhythm, leading to their demise.

While I was pondering, the figure had already pounced on me.

Aokiji stepped to the side, turned and moved sideways, and a figure just barely passed in front of him.

Naruto's attack missed, and his body flew out, leaving his back wide open.

This was just an avatar, and he didn't really care.

Another attack followed, a sweeping kick.

Aokiji executed a spinning backflip, narrowly dodging a straight punch, and then slid across the ground.

At this time, the clone Naruto who missed at the beginning took advantage of Aokiji's busy dealing with the front attack just now, ignoring the gap behind him, took the opportunity to sneak attack, and hugged his waist tightly with both hands.

Aokiji glanced at him lightly and clicked his tongue, feeling strange being treated like this by someone.

Since shadow clones are indistinguishable, the best way to deal with them is usually to use a wide-range ninjutsu to eliminate them directly.

Aokiji also has wide-range ninjutsu; he could extinguish it with a single Great Fireball, and Naruto would probably kill most of them. However, the power is too great, and he's afraid of overdoing it.

Well, this was originally one of his strategies.

Taijutsu is Aokiji's main training area. With his skills, he shouldn't be able to let Naruto restrain him so easily. He just did it to create the impression that his taijutsu was average.

The timing was perfect, and he felt it was time to move on to the next step of his plan, so he began to form hand seals.

Seeing this, the Narutos swarmed forward, one after another, piling on top of Aokiji like a human pyramid. However, this situation did not last long. Suddenly, huge ice spikes appeared inside the envelope, piercing through the hearts of all the shadow clones.

The giant ice cones shimmered under the sunlight.

Ice Release: Ice Cone Technique.

Naruto stared wide-eyed at the giant ice spike in front of him, his face filled with astonishment.

"Ice Release!?"

Not long after he became a ninja, an enemy on a mission left a deep impression on him.

The ninja's escape technique was the same ninjutsu that Aokiji had demonstrated.

"You possess the Ice Release bloodline limit?"

As Aokiji unleashed his Ice Release, Jiraiya, after a moment's thought, looked surprised: "Tsunade, did you find and adopt this child in the Land of Water?"

Tsunade remained silent and did not respond.

He wondered if Aokiji had gone easy on him earlier.

He had witnessed Aokiji's true strength, and with his taijutsu, he shouldn't have been so easily restrained by Naruto.

This ambiguous attitude made Jiraiya even more convinced that Aokiji was Tsunade's adopted son.

He had also heard about what was happening in the Land of Water. It was rumored that ninjas with bloodline limits there were considered monsters and lived a miserable life. Some bloodline limit families had even been wiped out because of this.

Aokiji nodded, feigning ignorance, "Judging from your tone, it seems you've seen my Ice Release before?"

Naruto knew how tragic Haku's fate was, and when he thought about how Aokiji was Tsunade's adopted son, he was immediately drawn into the story of Haku and Zabuza, and felt pity for him.

"Yes, I have seen ice-style ninjas before, and they weren't doing very well."

"I can imagine." After a sigh, Aokiji said, "Let's put aside this idle chatter for now."

He began to form hand seals, and six chains surged from his body. With a flick of his wrist, the chains shot out simultaneously, sweeping across all directions. Wherever they went, the shadow clones turned into smoke, making continuous banging sounds as they transformed into white smoke.

Naruto looked surprised, wondering what kind of ninjutsu this was.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto forms a cross hand seal. There's nothing the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique can't solve. If one doesn't work, use it twice. If two don't work, use it three times, four times, and so on until it works.

With a loud bang, another wave of people was instantly drawn up, roaring and attacking in unison.

Seeing Naruto summon so many shadow clones again without even breaking a sweat, Tsunade couldn't help but complain, "Hey, Jiraiya, is your disciple a monster?"

"Isn't this a bit too much chakra? Aokiji and I already have a lot of chakra among our peers, but compared to this guy, I even doubt that my chakra is real."

"Rangiku, I am your elder, you should add the word 'adult' after my name to show respect."

Jiraiya looked annoyed. He wondered if it was because of Tsunade's pampering and instigation, but the child showed him absolutely no respect.

If she's like this at such a young age, imagine how she'll behave when she grows up.

Tsunade lowered her voice and explained, "This child has a tailed beast sealed inside him, so his chakra is naturally different from that of an ordinary person."

Jiraiya was slightly taken aback, not expecting Tsunade to tell even her own child village secrets. He gave a "feed" and reminded her.

The strategist looked disdainful and sneered, "Does this kind of thing need to be hidden? Anyone with a brain could figure it out."

To be honest, she couldn't understand why the village kept Naruto's identity as the son of a hero a secret.

The village claims this is to protect Naruto, but upon closer inspection, it's hardly any protection at all.

The Uzumaki clan, blonde hair, a fox spirit... and it just so happens to happen on that day, only a fool could guess wrong.

If this information hadn't been made public, that would have been one thing, but the whole village knew that Naruto was the Demon Fox. And even if someone had leaked it, shouldn't they have denied it immediately?

Given the village's strength, it should have the capability.

Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a deliberate leak from higher-ups...

Unable to figure it out, Tsunade was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Since the deaths of her lover and brother, she has basically lost all interest in everything.

Naruto, seeing Aokiji manipulate the ice chains, couldn't help but think of Gaara's attack methods.

Although their forms are very different, they are essentially similar. They both manipulate matter and remain stationary with very little movement.

Naruto tried hard to recall the information about Gaara from back then.

Gaara's strength lies in his ninjutsu, while his taijutsu is relatively weak. Aokiji seems to be in a similar situation.

If you want to defeat Aokiji, then you should take Gaara's example.

Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking that no one would dare to say he was brainless now.

To counter Gaara's abilities, the first requirement is to possess extremely high movement speed, and the second is to have ninjutsu capable of defeating an enemy in one strike.

Naruto doesn't have super-fast movement speed, but he can create opportunities with his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. As for having a ninjutsu that can defeat an enemy in one blow, Naruto thought for a moment and realized he had recently learned a technique that he could use.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique"

Naruto summoned another bunch of shadow clones, making Aokiji feel like throwing up; it was almost giving him trypophobia.

"Can you try something different? Aren't you annoyed? I'm getting tired of it."

Hearing this, Naruto immediately felt a little depressed.

Upon closer reflection, it seems his fighting style consists of nothing but shadow clones, shadow clones, and more shadow clones...

It's not flashy at all, unlike Sasuke, whose shuriken, wire, fire release, lightning release, and so on look very flashy.

There's a reason why girls like him.

The moment that thought crossed his mind, Naruto quickly shook his head, gathered his thoughts, and focused on the battle.

"I'm a pragmatist; as long as ninjutsu works, that's enough," Naruto argued.

Aokiji tentatively accepted this explanation.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto formed a cross hand seal and summoned a large number of shadow clones.

Looking at the densely packed shadow clones around him, Aokiji retorted, "Didn't you just summon one?"

"The more shadow clones, the better."

Naruto deliberately said this in order to prove what he had just said.

Aokiji: ...

"Let's go."

A large group of Narutos rushed forward, yelling and screaming, and miraculously broke through the chains that had surrounded them.

"There's an opening." Seven Narutos rushed towards Aokiji, with the leader of them even forming hand seals.

Unless there are special circumstances, clones cannot use ninjutsu in most situations. Aokiji saw that Naruto was using ninjutsu and guessed that it was the real Naruto.

Huh?

Aokiji noticed that the hand seal Naruto used did not end with the cross seal, but with the final seal.

I was taken aback for a moment. It wasn't a clone technique after all.

"Interesting. Let me see what kind of ninjutsu you're going to use."

Aokiji frowned and squinted, watching intently without blinking.

From the audience, Tsunade saw Naruto charging at Aokiji with his true form and scoffed softly, "How naive! Attacking Aokiji with his true form? Isn't that just giving himself away..."

In her view, Naruto was no match for Aokiji at all. The only slight hope of victory was to use his massive chakra to create shadow clones and wage a war of attrition.

"Seduction!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto, who was in the lead, transformed into a naked woman with twin ponytails and blonde hair, shrouded in white mist.
