Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 57 Uchiha Body Slam

In an instant, the woods were shrouded in mist.

"What!" Raiya exclaimed in surprise, "It's the Hidden Mist Technique! Isn't that a ninjutsu from the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water? How do you know this?!"

Aokiji replied with a smile, "The Uchiha Sharingan has the ability to copy ninjutsu. It's a type of ninjutsu that our clan has no shortage of. I can easily access ninjutsu of this level."

Honestly, if he wasn't afraid of revealing his Sharingan abilities, Aokiji would have copied ninjutsu to sell for money.

In the original story, Sunagakure was so poor that they had to sell ninjutsu, which also shows that ninjutsu really is valuable.

As Jiraiya cursed "cheapskate," the fog began to thicken, making it almost impossible to see. Tsunade and Orochimaru leaped up into a tree to observe.

"No, we must finish off Aokiji before we can't see him at all." Jiraiya made a quick decision, ordering his clones to rush towards Aokiji and attack him en masse, while he took the opportunity to unleash a new ninjutsu.

If the fog completely covers the target, he will not be able to see it at all. No matter how many of his shadow clones there are, it will be useless. Moreover, maintaining these shadow clones also consumes chakra.

At that time, Aokiji could use the Hidden Mist Technique to wear Jiraiya down to death, and if he were to dispel the Shadow Clone Technique, then all the chakra he had invested would be completely meaningless.

Faced with the swarming Jiraiya, Aokiji avoided his sharp edge and moistened his skin.

Before long, the surroundings were shrouded in mist.

Without catching Aokiji in one go, Jiraiya and the others could only watch helplessly.

In this situation, Aokiji can't see Jiraiya, and Jiraiya can't see Aokiji either. It's a battle of who has more chakra and can wear the other down.

"That despicable Aokiji, how could he think of such a despicable method?"

Jiraiya cursed. Maintaining the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was consuming too much chakra. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to outlast Aokiji.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. His eyes darted around, and he shouted, "Aokiji, if things continue like this, neither of us can defeat the other. How about this: you don't use the Mist Concealment Technique, and I don't use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"

A voice came from within the mist, replying, "No problem, but you need to deactivate it first."

"How cautious." Jiraiya muttered, forming hand seals. A series of thumping sounds came from within the mist, indicating that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique had been dispelled. Hearing this sound, the other party should have kept their promise and dispelled the Mist Concealment Technique.

As the fog began to dissipate and become clearer, Jiraiya squinted slightly, focused his gaze, and spotted an outline not far away. A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, and he decided to play along. With a bang, he turned into white smoke.

"Earth Release: The Decapitation Technique of the Heart."

Using this technique, the user can infiltrate underground to launch a surprise attack. Jiraiya was already imagining Aokiji seeing him turn into white smoke and thinking that the Shadow Clone Technique had been dispelled. But when he realized what was happening, he would find that the scene was empty and would definitely panic. And at that moment, that would be the time for him to truly unleash his power.

Just as Jiraiya had predicted, as Aokiji stood frozen in place, a hand suddenly appeared from beneath his feet using Earth Release techniques, instantly dragging Aokiji into the ground, leaving only half of his head exposed.

Jiraiya looked down at Aokiji, who was only showing half his head and looked frustrated. He recalled the first time he met the Third Hokage. Back then, he was also instantly killed by this move. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to use this ninjutsu on someone else today.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

Cool!

Jiraiya laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

"Bang!"

Jiraiya: ? ? ?

The pheasant buried in the ground suddenly turned into white smoke and dissipated, revealing a soft, square object.

Jiraiya looked closely and, if he wasn't mistaken, it was a pillow...

Substitution Technique!

Just before being attacked, they swapped their bodies with the logs covered in talismans. Aokiji, on the other hand, used a pillow instead for convenience while sleeping.

Oops!

They fell for the trap.

Jiraiya's pupils contracted as he suddenly realized that a dark figure was rushing towards him from behind—it was Aokiji.

Jiraiya quickly assumed a fighting stance, but he did indeed misjudge Aokiji's attack method.

Aokiji crouched low, thrusting forward with his toes, closing in like a tiger descending a mountain.

This is a desperate, all-or-nothing attack that abandons all defense.

Aokiji wrapped his arms tightly around Jiraiya's waist and used the momentum to charge forward towards the boar.

"Uchiha Body Slam!"

"Let go."

Jiraiya was patting Aokiji on the back, trying to get him to let go, when he suddenly realized there was another figure attacking from behind.

"This is..."

Jiraiya's pupils contracted as he witnessed an extremely shocking scene. The thing beneath him that was so resilient should be a physical entity, so why was the shadow clone behind him forming hand seals?

It's not that shadow clones can't form hand seals, but rather that forming hand seals with shadow clones is a very advanced skill. How could Aokiji, at such a young age, possess such advanced skills?

Moreover, the ending of this hand seal is the Rooster Seal. Considering Aokiji's family background, it's probably not a standard Fire Release hand seal posture.

Dude, do you have to take this so seriously?

Didn't we say we wouldn't use offensive ninjutsu?

Tsunade and Orochimaru also realized something was wrong. What was Aokiji up to? Was he acting rashly and preparing to burn Jiraiya to death with his Fire Release technique?

"Stop, Aokiji!"

They tried to stop it, but it was too late.

The arrow was already on the bowstring, ready to be released: "Uchiha Taijutsu Ultimate Technique - Thousand Years of Death!"

"Ah, don't come any closer!"

"puff."

Jiraiya: ...

Orochimaru: ...

Tsunade:……

The air was strangely quiet, as if a crow had just flown across the sky.

A moment later, a sound like a pig being slaughtered echoed through the sky.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Jiraiya was hit by Aokiji's ultimate taijutsu technique, and lay on the ground, his buttocks sticking up, trembling.

It seemed he had won. Aokiji smugly tugged at his bangs and exhaled, "What a tough battle."

Fortunately, Jiraiya doesn't know Wind Release, otherwise Aokiji would probably have had a very tough fight.

This move wasn't very damaging, but it was extremely insulting. Even Jiraiya, who had a thick skin, was broken down and hysterically roared that he wanted to fight Aokiji to the death, indicating that they were irreconcilable enemies.

Tsunade, standing in the tree watching the scene, thought about how, if the person who had fought Aokiji hadn't been Jiraiya, but herself... and subconsciously...

Tsunade climbed down from the tree and, unusually, sided with Jiraiya, commenting with disgust, "I have never seen such shameless taijutsu."

Aokiji glanced at him and shrugged indifferently: "Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that catches mice. As long as the physical techniques are effective, that's fine."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tsunade, unable to contain her shame and indignation, threatened fiercely, "If you ever dare to use such filthy things on me, I'll kill you."

"Although I am shameless... oops, I mean I am unconventional, I still have principles, okay? For example, I will not use this kind of physical technique on women. I will use other specialized physical techniques to deal with women."

(￣_，￣): "Other specialized physical techniques?"

(ー`′ー): "Why are you looking at me like that, like I'm trash?"

"I'm just looking at garbage."

"cut."

Jiraiya called out, "Aokiji, let's have another round."

"Maybe next time, I'm a little tired."

Aokiji isn't afraid of being foolish. Given Jiraiya's personality, he's probably thinking about using Jiraiya's body to do the opposite of what Jiraiya does right now.

Jiraiya clenched his fist and vowed, "Next time, I will make you feel the pain I just experienced."

really……

Orochimaru, having roughly assessed Aokiji's strength through the previous sparring match, suggested, "Aokiji, your current strength is already enough to qualify you as a Chunin, right? Why don't you participate in the Chunin Exams?"

Without hesitation, Aokiji refused, saying, "I have no interest in being cannon fodder. I'm starting to cultivate purely to have the power to protect myself in this chaotic world."

Jiraiya didn't understand and said, "Isn't the war over now? What's this talk of chaos?"

Aokiji laughed at his naivety and simplicity: "The alliance's contract is nothing but toilet paper; who knows when it'll end up being used to wipe your butt and thrown in the trash."

Tsunade thought of her two grandfathers, her eyes blazing, her tone resolute: "One day, I will personally end this chaotic world and fulfill my grandfathers' unfinished dream."

Aokiji clapped his hands twice, offering support and encouragement: "Then keep it up! I believe you'll definitely become a capable Hokage in the future."

Tsunade puffed out her non-existent chest and said arrogantly, "Do you need to tell me?"

Aokiji, realizing he'd made a fool of himself, said, "I have a question for you."

Tsunade was taken aback: "What?"

Aokiji asked, "What is your chakra nature?"

Why are you asking that?

"Can't I just ask?"

"That's possible." Tsunade thought for a moment about the attributes she had determined using chakra paper in the past, and gave her answer: "Earth and Water."

"really……"

"What?"

"The limit of blood inheritance."

"The limit of blood inheritance?"

"Haven't you always wanted to awaken Wood Release and carry on your grandfather's dream?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Then you should really practice your Earth Release and Water Release techniques."

According to the original timeline, Tsunade was already quite old and hadn't awakened Wood Release, so she probably just didn't have the talent.

Aokiji now plans to guide Tsunade to practice Water Release and Earth Release more often, to see if they can directly synthesize it.

Although she doesn't have the Wood Release bloodline limit, she has inherited some of Hashirama Senju's bloodline, so the probability of her achieving a synthesis might be easier than for an ordinary person.

Aokiji did this partly to improve her strength, so she wouldn't always resort to punching people, making her an easy target.

Secondly, it was also to have more experience in developing bloodline limits.
