Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 279 Victory

Kameda's eyes widened in fury. The creature he had painstakingly cultivated had been wiped out like this. He felt like he was about to be slapped in the face.

He bit his finger, slammed it down on the ground, and black, crooked characters spread out rapidly like a spider web. With a bang, a giant summoning beast was summoned.

It was a four-legged creature, tens of meters tall, with bright red skin, a head somewhat resembling a cow, and a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth.

Its back is high and bulging like a camel's, and its hands are like pliers. At first glance, it looks like a jumbled mess of creatures.

"Go, King Qiangbo, kill this Konoha ninja and avenge my Baltan rookie."

Upon hearing their master's command, the summoned beast named Qiangbo Wang roared and charged towards Qingzhi.

When Qiangbo Wang charged forward, it seemed as if the earth itself trembled, and even the pebbles on the roadside seemed to bounce, demonstrating his immense weight, exceeding a thousand pounds.

No sooner said than done, a figure no smaller than Qiangbo Wang descended from the sky, wielding a short sword and thrusting it down. Due to inertia, the momentum of this attack was extraordinary, and it directly pierced deep into Qiangbo Wang's head. Then, the figure casually sat down on Qiangbo Wang's massive hump.

It was Jiraiya's strongest summoning beast, Gamabunta.

Even if an ordinary summoned beast didn't die from this attack, it would be severely injured, triggering the protective mechanism of the summoning technique, and disappearing before our eyes with a puff of white smoke.

However, this simple truth that everyone knows seems to have no effect on the creatures in front of us.

"It's no use. My Qiangbo King feels no pain and is not afraid."

Kameda looked at Aokiji's face with a fierce and sinister gaze, a sneer on his face: "Boy, don't get cocky just because you defeated one of my summoning beasts."

Aokiji smirked, not taking it to heart.

"Aokiji, leave this to me," Jiraiya, standing on the toad boss's side, shouted.

Aokiji had the same idea, and with a swift movement, he charged towards his opponent.

They already knew about Kameda; he was skilled at summoning spirit beasts, but his physical combat skills were relatively weak.

Aokiji and the others would target this point, and Kameda, as the person directly involved, naturally knew better than anyone else how to avoid his weakness.

"Too naive..." Kameda quickly formed hand seals, followed the same method, and slammed his hands on the ground. The white smoke dissipated, and he summoned a bird with black feathers.

The art of spiritual communication.

Since physical skills are lacking, then we can simply avoid direct confrontation.

This is Kameda's line of thinking.

By utilizing this super beast, the black pigeon, he could fly into the sky and watch the tigers fight from the mountain.

The black pigeon spread its wings, creating a powerful gust of wind that parted the dust and fog. Even the blue pheasant, which was galloping at full speed, was affected and had to slow down.

Seizing the brief pause, Super Beast Black Pigeon lifted its legs off the ground and rose into the air.

Aokiji raised his arm and held it horizontally in front of him, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes. If this black pigeon were to take flight, it would undoubtedly be a very troublesome situation.

Standing atop the black pigeon, Kameda looked down at it with an impatient gaze, eager to see the anxious yet helpless expressions on the faces of those who would try to get rid of him once the black pigeon took flight.

"boom."

A sudden sound came from below. In Kameda's eyes, a huge brown python was reflected, which suddenly emerged from the ground. Its thick body moved as fast as the wind, coiling around the black pigeon's body and biting its jaws to prevent it from moving.

This is Orochimaru's summoning beast.

"asshole!"

Kameda was furious and careless, and his mistake was exploited.

Seeing an opportunity, Aokiji acted decisively, clapping his hands together and raising them above his head in a simple hand seal. Ice-attribute chakra condensed into a crescent-shaped dart in the center of his palm, resembling a headband above his head.

Aokiji didn't strike this pose just for the sake of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur); it's to build up power for the next swing.

With palms clasped together facing forward, he forcefully swung the ice axe, which spun once, leaving several afterimages in mid-air, shooting straight forward in a fan shape.

Ice Release: Ice Axe.

The difficulty level is around A. This move was inspired by Orochimaru's Shadow Clone Shuriken technique. It involves throwing an ice axe forward, after which the ice axe shadow clones create tens of thousands of shuriken for continuous attacks. Some of the ice axes are real, while others are fake, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

There are numerous ice axes, and they move incredibly fast, making them very difficult to dodge.

Kameda quickly formed hand seals, slapped down with one hand, and used the same method to summon spirits again.

With a bang, white mist surged from the ground, and a tall panda stood in front, using its chubby body to block all the ice axes.

Kameda broke out in a cold sweat. The ice-style ninjutsu attack had been fast and wide-ranging, making it extremely difficult for him to dodge with his taijutsu.

Fortunately, he can summon spirit beasts at any time for defense.

To summon so many spirit beasts at once and maintain their existence was, frankly, quite a challenge even for him.

In addition, due to incorrect intelligence and the enemy's formidable strength, Kameda was already considering retreating and planning for the long term.

While Kameda's attention was focused on Aokiji's previous move, Tsunade silently circled behind him, swung her arm, and punched his kidney at a tricky angle.

Kameda had already reacted, but it was too late to dodge, so he could only hurriedly cross his arms to block.

Tsunade's lips curled into a smile.

Is it so easy to catch her punch?

With a combination of superhuman strength and Earth Release: Earth Spear, Tsunade mercilessly slammed her fist into the enemy's elbow. In an instant, accompanied by a scream, Kameda's body shot backward like a kite with a broken string.

With a loud "boom," it slammed against the rock wall, creating a deep, cracked crater.

Aokiji pressed his advantage, rushing towards the direction Kameda had retreated. He gathered icy energy in his palm, plunged into the rising smoke, and used the cover to activate his Sharingan, instantly spotting the figure and striking with his palm.

After that, the smoke slowly dissipated, and two figures gradually emerged from the mist.

Kameda's bulging eyes reflected a pair of blood-red pupils.

Suddenly, those scarlet eyes seemed to be permeated by the darkness of night, turning into jet-black pupils that blended into the pitch black.

The extreme cold energy quickly flowed through his body from the point of attack in his palm. Kameda's teeth chattered uncontrollably, his heart and lungs were frozen, and his whole body trembled violently, to the point that he couldn't even finish saying "Uchiha."

Crackle, crackle... crackle crackle crackle...!

With these rhythmic sounds, the freezing sensation spread from Kameda's abdomen to other parts of his body.

Kameda let out a hysterical growl and made a final struggle, but only managed to shake off a few shards of ice from his body.

Aokiji's gaze was fixed on him, his black eyes cold and deep: "To be defeated by the four of us working together, you've already earned enough pride. Go in peace..."

Aokiji intensified the flow of his icy energy, freezing the man in front of him into an ice sculpture. Then, seemingly disdainful, he turned away arrogantly without looking back.

With Aokiji's victory, the battle made a breakthrough, and the scales of victory suddenly tipped in favor of the Konoha ninjas. The Amegakure ninjas lost their fighting spirit and planned to retreat.

The Konoha ninjas, who had suffered heavy losses before the battle even began, were seething with anger. Now that they had the chance, they were naturally not going to let them off easily and launched a pursuit.

Aokiji also joined the pursuit, not because he coveted the small amount of credit for the bombs, but because he wanted to prevent the enemy from escaping and returning, which would potentially reduce Konoha's casualties in the future.

The Amegakure ninja, now without their leader, were surprisingly easy to deal with; with the exception of a few who managed to escape, they were basically wiped out.

Konoha was filled with joy after winning the battle.

Jiraiya walked up to Aokiji, his expression quite pleased: "Aokiji, we've done a great job this time."

Aokiji gave a symbolic smile.

He's not interested in becoming Hokage or anything like that now; achievements are of no use to him.

As for exchanging merit for ninjutsu, Aokiji doesn't even bother with ordinary ninjutsu.

Of all the known ninjutsu in the village, the only one he was truly interested in was the Flying Thunder God Technique.
