Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 495 Aokiji's New Eye Technique: Mahaprabhātu - World

In Aokiji's memory, Isshiki Otsutsuki's eyes were different from those of other Otsutsuki clan members. They were not the Rinnegan with wavy patterns, but rather had special golden patterns that resembled a kaleidoscope shape.

Tsunade asked curiously, "How did your eyes become like this?"

"It must be the power bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths..."

After pondering for a moment, Aokiji concluded that it was probably because the power contained within his eyes was inherently more complex...

Furthermore, his eyes are different from Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinnegan in the original work; they can close on their own.

"So, it seems I also possess a kind of power."

Aokiji's words reminded Tsunade, who stretched out her hand, revealing solid white circles on her fair palm: "I want to try..."

Aokiji was taken aback: "Give it a try?"

Tsunade nodded and left the house, followed by Aokiji. The two of them caught a white mouse on the street to conduct an experiment.

Kakashi, the little white mouse, asked curiously, "Hokage-sama, did you call me?"

"Don't move."

Tsunade reached out and, under Kakashi's bewildered gaze, placed her hand on his missing eye. After a moment, she said, "It should be healed..."

Kakashi hadn't figured out what was going on when he suddenly seemed to realize something. He removed the headband hanging over his right eye, revealing a beautiful face.

"This, this is..."

Kakashi was too shocked to speak, because the face was seen through his right eye, which had previously disappeared.

Tsunade laughed and said, "You were startled, weren't you?"

Kakashi asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

He knew Tsunade's medical skills were superb, but this ability to create eyes out of thin air still refreshed his understanding, especially in such a short time.

Tsunade explained, "It's probably because of the Sage of Six Paths' gift..."

Kakashi was taken aback: "The Sage of Six Paths?"

This wasn't some secret that couldn't be revealed, and since Kakashi was a trustworthy person, Tsunade didn't choose to hide it and simply explained it to her.

"So, does that mean the Hokage and Aokiji are now confident they can defeat Madara?"

"I don't know, we'll only know after we try..."

Tsunade issued the order: "Go and inform the other captains and above, we are about to launch a counterattack."

"Yes."

Kakashi suppressed his excitement and began to relay the news to the other captains.

Aokiji glanced at Tsunade. He figured that Tsunade was now probably like Naruto in the original story, able to use the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Techniques.

Unfortunately, Tsunade doesn't possess the chakra of the other tailed beasts, preventing her from using their elemental techniques.

Tsunade glanced sideways, her gaze landing on Aokiji's eyes: "You've acquired new eyes, so you must have awakened a new eye technique, right?"

Without hesitation, Aokiji replied, "Mahapadma World is the name of the eye technique I use."

"What is an ability?"

Tsunade asked curiously.

In order to prepare for the upcoming battle, it is necessary to figure out each other's abilities beforehand.

"We still have time, let's go somewhere else," Aokiji suggested. "I want to test it out, it'll be quick."

Explaining is not as effective as doing it in practice.

Although he knew his abilities, he was unsure of the specific attack range and needed to test it out.

"Okay." Tsunade agreed, accepting the suggestion.

Aokiji used Kamui to teleport Tsunade away. After traveling a short distance, they arrived at a waterfall, where two enormous statues stood on either side.

This is the Valley of the End.

On the bank of the river, the water was clear, and the two stood facing each other.

"Alright, that's about enough..."

"Want to fight me?"

Seeing Aokiji's attitude, Tsunade seemed eager to test him in actual combat.

She hadn't sparred with Aokiji in a long time.

Aokiji opened his eyes, revealing golden, snowflake-shaped pupils that shone with a clear attitude.

"Alright, be careful."

Tsunade gave a reminder and then rushed over. Under her grandfather's guidance over the past three years, she had grown tremendously.

Seeing Tsunade charging at him like a fool, Aokiji neither dodged nor evaded. Black ribs wrapped around his body, he unleashed the first stage of Susanoo to test the power of Tsunade's fist and see how much she had improved.

Tsunade frowned. She felt underestimated for being dismissed with a Susanoo of this level. She gathered her power in her fist, stood up, and lunged forward, punching her ribs.

With a loud bang, Susanoo, known for its defense, was shattered like tofu by Tsunade's punch, which struck directly at the main body.

Before he could dodge, Aokiji was caught off guard. Even though he crossed his arms in front of his chest to try and block the attack, he was still sent flying by the extremely powerful punch until his back slammed against the rock wall, which brought him back to a stop.

"Click..."

Broken rocks were scattered all around, the smoke dissipated, and Aokiji sat on the ground with his back against the cracked rock wall, cracks appearing all over his body, signs of the peeling away of his ice armor.

With the power of the Six Paths, Tsunade's superhuman strength was amplified to an unimaginable degree. Not to mention the mere first stage of Susanoo, even the second stage of Susanoo would be no match for her.

"You've gotten a lot stronger..."

Aokiji placed his hands on his knees and slowly stood up, his eyes less playful and more serious: "Then I'll show you my true skills next."

Having said that, he turned his palm upwards and made a universally understood hand gesture towards Tsunade: "Come here..."

Tsunade declared, "I won't!"

If you call me over, and I call you over, wouldn't I lose face?

The abundant water resources nearby made it an ideal place to use Water Release techniques. Tsunade formed hand seals, using whatever was available, and the water surged and rolled upwards, forming a water dragon that soared into the sky before plunging forward.

Ice flames ignited on Aokiji's hand, and with a casual slap, the oncoming water dragon instantly froze from his head along his body, hovering in the air.

During this time, she even had the audacity to taunt, "Tsunade, are you out of your mind? You actually used Water Release to attack me?"

Tsunade grumbled, "You're the one who's confused. I just wanted to test your new eye technique with this move."

"I did want to give it a try, but you think you can force out my new eye technique with something like this? You're really underestimating me."

Aokiji took a few steps toward Tsunade, walking on the water's surface, his steps creating ice that spread outwards from him.

Tsunade reacted quickly, leaping into the air. In the blink of an eye, the lake, which had just been a body of water, instantly turned into a frozen surface, filled with a chilling aura.

Tsunade landed on the ice, tiptoed, and felt the texture: "It's really solid."

As they were speaking, an ice chain shot out and struck.

Tsunade stepped back and sidestepped, barely avoiding the attack.

In the blink of an eye, the second one came, and Tsunade twisted her waist and did a somersault as the ice chain grazed her body.

After landing, he flipped over to avoid the third ice chain, then turned and ran, dodging the fourth ice chain in the process.

Tsunade slid along the rock face, leaping and bounding, dodging the relentless ice chains chasing her. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Aokiji standing there, arms crossed, surrounded by several ice chains used to pursue her, and a few swirling runes.

Seeing his leisurely and carefree attitude, Tsunade was really annoyed. She kicked hard, flipped in the air in a full arc, and landed on the ground, quickly putting her hands together in a mudra.

This gave the ice chains an opportunity to wrap around her, but Tsunade chose to ignore them. She gathered chakra and let it take root under her feet, quickly growing larger and thicker, rising from the ground and surging towards her.

Aokiji was unfazed. Several dazzling patterns around him merged into an arc-shaped shield to block the attack.

"What an annoying thing..." Tsunade looked at Aokiji's freely changing bloodline limit and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "That's right, I think I have something similar too."

He first used his superhuman strength to break free from the ice chains, and a white flower bloomed on his head. Inside the flower bud was a round, scarlet fruit, and his wavy pupils contained three tomoe.

A black sphere materialized in front of him and floated in the air, leaving Aokiji stunned. He blinked, thinking he was seeing things.

Due to his position, Aokiji didn't see the low-budget version of the Ten-Tails' eyes inside the flower; he only noticed that the flower's outline was slightly different.

Aokiji didn't take this to heart.

Tsunade's current state should be a combination of Sage Mode and Six Paths Sage Mode.

Similar to Naruto...

But what's with that black ball?

This thing looks like a Seeking the Way Jade?

Why do you know how?

Isn't this something only those who possess the chakra of the nine tailed beasts and the Six Paths Sage Mode can do?

Although Tsunade possesses Six Paths Sage Mode, she shouldn't have the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, right?

Could it be because of Wood Release?

Aokiji remembered that Ashura didn't seem to have the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, but he could use Truth-Seeking Balls.

Just then, Tsunade gripped the Truth-Seeking Ball with one hand, stretched her arm, and assumed a baseball-throwing stance.

Wait, Tsunade, don't be impulsive...

Aokiji was just about to say something when he realized that being hit by a Truth-Seeking Ball was no joke.

However, it was too late.

With her mind racing, Tsunade finished gathering her strength and threw it with all her might. The Truth-Seeking Ball shot out like a cannonball, moving with lightning speed.

The Azure Pheasant Realm rotated at will, activating its dazzling patterns, and was thrown out.

Auras have at most three attributes, while Truth-Seeking Balls have seven. With the added boost of superhuman strength, when they clash, the difference in strength is instantly revealed.

The Seeking the Dao Jade shattered the dazzling patterns and struck directly.

Suddenly, Aokiji's expression changed. He focused his chakra into his eyes, concentrating it on the Truth-Seeking Ball that was hurtling towards him.

In an instant, the Truth-Seeking Ball, which had been so imposing, was suspended in mid-air and remained completely still.

Aokiji slightly curled his lips and leisurely strolled away from the attack trajectory of the Truth-Seeking Ball.

Mahaprabhāṣma World

"This, this is..."

Tsunade paused for a moment, looking at Aokiji's eyes, which shone with golden light, and suddenly realized, "This is your eye technique."

"Yes."

"I have a feeling that something is attached to the Truth-Seeking Balls," Tsunade said, relying on her intuition.

Aokiji was taken aback: "You can't see it?"

Tsunade nodded and said, "Yes."

Without the constraints of the Mahaprabhātu World, the Truth-Seeking Ball moved again, lost its target, crashed into the rock wall, and exploded with a roar, causing enormous destruction.

Aokiji remarked with a sigh, "It seems to be the same type of eye technique as Madara's..."

Like Madara, his own eye technique is undetectable without the Rinnegan or Six Paths Sage Mode. It can kill without leaving a trace at the Six Paths level.

Overall, it's somewhat similar to the eye technique I was looking for, but also different.

Tsunade asked curiously, "What exactly is your eye technique?"

Just to be on the safe side, Aokiji walked over to Tsunade and whispered a few words in her ear.

Tsunade was shocked upon hearing this and said, "With this eye technique, you're practically invincible!"

Aokiji shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. This kind of thing also depends on its effectiveness in actual combat."

Ultimately, there is a flaw in eye techniques: when activating them, the chakra must be concentrated in the eye.

Given Madara Uchiha's current sensory abilities as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, it's not that he couldn't sense it.

◎

Within the Kamui dimension, Aokiji summoned the high-ranking officials of the Land of Flame and issued an order to notify ninjas from other countries in the real world to form an alliance and reclaim the real world.

Madara Uchiha wasn't alone; he had a group of people who feared his strength and chose to join him. Besides them, there were also Edo Tensei, White Zetsu, and others...

Aokiji himself didn't value the Allied Forces' fighting strength much; what he valued was getting these people involved and fostering a revolutionary camaraderie so that he could later unify the country.

◎

Inside the magnificent castle of the Land of Flames.

Originally, this castle was the residence of a daimyo. After Madara Uchiha took control of the real world, it became his residence.

Inside the empty palace, Madara Uchiha sat on the throne, his arm resting on the armrest, his palm supporting his forehead, his half-closed eyelids revealing a sense of emptiness.

As the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, he possessed the most perfect body, needing neither to eat, drink, nor excrete, and needing no sleep, making him truly immortal.

The thing I've always dreamed of has finally come true. Aside from the initial excitement, all that's left is an endless sense of emptiness.

When he is alone, he sometimes even falls into self-doubt.

Is it worth doing this?

Madara Uchiha sighed, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face. Perhaps this emptiness could only be filled by completing the Infinite Kotoamatsukami...

"What's wrong? Sighing isn't like you at all..."

Suddenly, a mocking voice echoed in the hall. Uchiha Madara raised his head, and the somewhat dejected look in his eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by eyes as sharp as arrows.

Before me stood a young man with plain hair and blue eyes, wearing a gray shirt with a blue and white vest, a ninja glove on his right hand, and dark gray trousers and ninja boots.

It was Aokiji. As soon as he arrived at Madara Uchiha's palace, he heard a sigh. Because the palace was very quiet, he could hear it very clearly.

Madara Uchiha scoffed, "I thought you were going to break the agreement..."

At first, Aokiji would use a clone to chat with Madara Uchiha.

However, as the agreed date approached, this frequency decreased.

Aokiji didn't pick up on the topic, instead looking around the empty room: "I'm saying, now that you've unified this world, don't you think about finding yourself a companion?"

Madara Uchiha coldly retorted, "You came here just to spout this nonsense?"

Aokiji said to himself, "Don't you have anything you want to pass on?"

"This kind of thing is unnecessary..."

Aokiji shrugged.

"Three years have passed, and you don't seem to have changed much. You're still as cunning as ever."

Madara Uchiha smiled mockingly: "How do you plan to defeat me? Or are you going to continue being a coward, hiding in the Kamui dimension for the rest of your life?"

Aokiji smiled, his pupils turning into golden patterns as he revealed his newly acquired eyes.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his gaze, his eyes gleaming with intense interest: "I take back what I just said. It seems you have made progress in these three years."

As he spoke, he silently activated his eye technique, and four clones of Limbo: Border Jail stood in four different directions around Aokiji.

"I've come here to formally issue you a challenge."

Looking at these clones, Aokiji subconsciously glanced at them.

Madara Uchiha noticed this subtle movement, and a hint of apprehension appeared in his slightly closed eyelids.

"It seems you weren't bluffing. Where did you get such great power?"

Madara Uchiha somewhat foresaw that Aokiji would gain power, after all, Aokiji knew many of the secrets that Madara did not.

But when I actually saw it come to this, I was still shocked.

"Let's talk about this later."

Madara Uchiha was not satisfied with this result. With a thought, he ordered his clone to take action. Madara stood up and rushed forward, punching Aokiji through the chest.

The damage exceeded the limit, and the clone turned into an ice sculpture.

Madara Uchiha scoffed, "What a cunning fellow..."
