Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Mitokado Homura could not hide his shock: "He even defeated the Third Raikage, and almost killed him. Could it be that he has the same strength as the First Raikage?"

Danzo was deeply shaken.

With such strength, doesn't that mean that Yu Feng Xuan Ma is much stronger than everyone present?

"I see. He possessed the same self-healing ability as the First Raikage, and it was only by sacrificing himself to take down the Third Raikage that he was severely injured."

Koharu Utatane looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi with some doubt: "Hiruzen, is this child really not someone who received a transplant of the First Hokage's cells?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also skeptical, and a look of helplessness crossed his face: "Tsunade didn't mention this."

"But in any case, this is very good news."

"With the Third Raikage severely injured and Genma present, Kumogakure probably won't dare to fight again."

Danzo immediately shouted, "We should press our advantage and pursue them!"

Koharu and Homura exchanged a glance but did not speak immediately.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned: "Pursuing our victory will not benefit Konoha. Even if we invade the Land of Lightning, it will be a losing proposition."

"Moreover, Iwagakure is eager to make a move."

Danzo argued forcefully: "Since we have a huge advantage now, and Kumogakure is at its weakest, we should press on and do everything we can to weaken Kumogakure's strength."

"Otherwise, given the Cloud Village's style, they might take the opportunity to invade the Land of Fire while we are fighting other villages."

"If possible, it would be best to annihilate Yunyin."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Danzo, you're going too far!"

"With our strength, we simply cannot do this; we would only sacrifice ourselves in vain."

Danzo scoffed, "Even if we can't annihilate them, we should at least weaken their war-making capabilities as much as possible."

"Otherwise, we must be on guard at all times."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Therefore, while we have the absolute upper hand now and the Kumogakure prisoners in our hands, we can negotiate with Kumogakure, sign a peace treaty, and completely eliminate the threat to Kumogakure so that the village can focus all its efforts on facing Iwagakure."

Danzo gritted his teeth: "Hiruzen, you're too cowardly!"

"This will only make Yunyin think they have an opportunity to take advantage of us."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "This is a necessary choice."

He then looked at Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, as did Danzo.

With the support of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, even the Hokage cannot act recklessly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up: "Come in!"

An ANBU ninja pushed open the door and entered: "Lord Hokage, intelligence from the Land of Grass: the Daimyo of the Land of Grass has been assassinated!"

what! ?

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but stand up.

"Who would assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Grass?"

"And at this time..."

Koharu Utatane frowned, then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Could this be a conspiracy by Iwagakure?"

After dismissing the ANBU ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Very likely."

He looked at Danzo, whose face was gloomy: "Danzo, lead the Root to investigate this matter immediately. This is not a simple matter."

"If it's Iwagakure, it might be good news for us, but if it's Amegakure, I'm afraid..."

Koharu Utatane's expression changed, and she subconsciously said, "That guy Hanzo is too ambitious. Maybe we shouldn't have cooperated with him in the first place."

Danzo was displeased, and Mitokado Homura said, "It seems that we really cannot continue this protracted war with Kumogakure."

"You'll regret this!"

Danzo, feeling frustrated, snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Koharu Utatane, seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's unpleasant expression, comforted him, "Hiruzen, Danzo was also doing this for the village. I believe he will understand your intentions."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "I understand."

Danzo stormed out of the Hokage Building, then suddenly stopped and glanced back at the Hokage's office, which was still lit up. He sneered to himself, "The start of the war in Amegakure might not be such a bad thing!"

Chapter 92 Prey and Hunter

After dawn, news of the great victory in the war between the front lines and the Hidden Cloud Village quickly spread throughout Konoha, and the name Genma Mikazuchi also became widely known.

Previously, the high bounty on Yufeng Genma only made him famous among ninjas, and not many people actually knew about his actual battle record.

But now, the Konoha leadership is intentionally promoting and shaping geniuses and heroes to instill confidence in everyone. As a result, Yufeng Genma and his achievements have suddenly become known to every household.

"Lady Tsunade~"

Still half asleep, Tsunade was startled awake by Fennel's voice. Still grumpy from being woken up, she asked irritably, "What is it now?"

Fennel rushed into the room: "Lady Tsunade, it's already spread outside that we won a great victory in the war against Kumogakure. It's said that Lord Genma seriously injured the Third Raikage."

Tsunade snapped to attention and abruptly stood up: "What?"

"That bastard severely injured the Third Raikage?"

Fennel nodded: "Although it sounds unbelievable, the news has spread throughout the village, so it should be true."

"Lord Genma's strength has actually grown this powerful? Even the Third Raikage is no match for him!"

Tsunade was also shocked and incredulous.

This guy is growing way too fast!

Will you not lose the bet next time?

Tsunade immediately thought of the bet with Genma.

But then I realized that betting isn't about who's stronger.

Relieved, Tsunade asked, "Is that guy alright?"

"Seriously injured the Third Raikage? Hmph, what are you showing off at such a young age?"

"Aren't Sakumo-senpai and Orochimaru here?"

Fennel said, "I haven't heard of it, it should be fine, right?"

"Why don't you ask the Third Hokage, Lady Tsunade?"

She was also eager to know about the situation of the Wind-Riding Black Horse.

Tsunade gave Fennel a strange look: "Why are you so concerned about that bastard?"

Fennel blushed immediately and said somewhat flusteredly, "Eh? Really?"

"Is it because Lady Tsunade cares more about Lord Genma?"

"Moreover, Lord Genma is also my savior!"

Tsunade scoffed, "I don't care much about that bastard."

"I just don't want to lose a gambling buddy."

"Alright, I'll go to the Hokage's office first!"

After saying that, the person disappeared.

Fennel patted its chest and let out a long sigh.

……

In the woods near the medical team camp on the northern border of the Land of Fire.

Xuanma was rapidly swinging his fists at a large tree, leaving clear fist marks on the trunk.

He was a full two meters away from the tree trunk.

At that distance, it would have been impossible for a fist to hit the tree trunk, but when Xuanma punched, his arm stretched out rapidly like rubber.

Xuanma swung his fist at high speed, leaving countless afterimages of his fist and arm. His fist struck the tree trunk, and he could hardly feel any reaction force.

Because it was absorbed and neutralized by the body's high elasticity and flexibility.

This allows the fist to be swung quickly and strike with the same powerful force.

Of course, with Xuanma's previously powerful physique, he could withstand the reaction force and unleash a series of punches.

But the strain this puts on the body is real.

But when you unleash your full power, it's definitely not as smooth as it is now.

The existence of reaction force, especially when attacking a powerful opponent or a strong defense, is particularly noticeable, so continuous attacks will inevitably experience a sense of stagnation.

Now that the properties of rubber are present, the reaction force on the body is reduced to a minimum, and for Genma, who has a strong physique, it is almost negligible.

Bang!

The tree trunk exploded, shattered by Xuanma's final punch.

He stopped, a smile hard to hide on his face: "If I had this ability yesterday, I could have blasted the Third Raikage to pieces on the spot!"

The properties of rubber allow him to have a faster attack speed, a more rapid burst of power, and to ensure that the power attenuation is extremely small even during high-speed attacks.

"Super strength + indestructible body + rubber man, it doesn't seem too difficult to achieve the same effect as Morning Peacock!"

Genma stepped forward and extracted Wood Release chakra from the fallen tree, then instantly disappeared.

Before long, he arrived at a river, his body leaped into the air, his arms swung rapidly, his fists exploded with power, and his powerful punches blasted the air, compressing it and igniting it through friction.

In an instant, bursts of flames roared out as Xuanma swung his fist at high speed, crashing into the river below.

Rumble!

Water and fire clashed, roaring and booming, with large amounts of water vapor rising.

Xuanma quickly withdrew his fist, landed, and nodded in satisfaction as he watched the rising water vapor.

It's worth noting that Kai needs to open six gates to unleash this move in the later stages of the game.
