At this moment, Tsunade only wanted to awaken her still numb body and clear away the negative emotions that had accumulated over the past few days through a thrilling battle.
Close combat! Engage in close combat!
Both of their fists were thrown out almost simultaneously!
There was no dazzling light from ninjutsu, only a sharp hissing sound that tore through the air and a dull, heart-pounding crash!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Smack! Smack!"
The two figures instantly transformed into two intertwined torrents!
Naruto's speed was as fast as a ghost, and his fists, palms, elbows, and knees poured out like a storm!
Every strike was precise and ruthless, targeting joints, soft ribs, and the sides of the abdomen, showcasing the cunning and viciousness of martial arts.
Tsunade's monstrous strength was on full display in every punch and every block!
Her fist energy was incredibly domineering; even the glancing wind from her fist could easily shatter the surrounding rocks!
Faced with Naruto's relentless offensive, she chose the wildest fighting style: a direct and forceful approach to overcome speed!
She wielded her arms like two indestructible warhammers, swinging them wide and powerfully, each strike carrying the terrifying force to split mountains and shatter rocks!
The air crackled and popped under the strain of her fist!
No matter how cunning and swift Naruto's punches were, when they struck her arm or the forearm she was blocking, they could only produce a dull thud like metal clashing, creating visible ripples in the air.
Naruto twisted his waist and spun around, unleashing a whip kick that swept towards Tsunade's head with a piercing whistle, so fast that it left only a blur!
At the critical moment, Tsunade ducked and crouched, her twin golden ponytails whipping wildly in the wind!
At the same time, her right foot moved like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, delivering a hidden low shovel strike straight at Naruto's foothold!
Naruto sprang up from the spot, and Tsunade stomped a deep pit into the ground beneath his feet!
Chapter 104 The Seventh Gate of Shock Opens!
While he was still in mid-air, his core strength suddenly exploded, his body twisted strangely, and his right elbow, like a falling meteorite, slammed into Tsunade's back as she pressed down with all its weight!
As if she had eyes in the back of her head, Tsunade used her agility to narrowly avoid the attack with a side roll!
Naruto's elbow slammed deep into the spot where she had just been standing, creating an exaggerated crater in the solid ground as if it had been hit by a cannon!
Amidst the swirling dust, Tsunade didn't stop. Her right fist clenched tightly, her knuckles cracking as she exerted force. A straight punch, imbued with her unparalleled strength, tore through the dust, and with the momentum of her charge, it was about to strike Naruto.
Naruto's pupils contracted slightly, but instead of retreating, he advanced!
He lowered his waist and sat down, his center of gravity instantly sinking, and the power in his whole body flowed through his spine and into his right arm!
Instead of blocking head-on, he clenched his fists and assumed the most basic yet purest straight punch stance, charging forward with unstoppable momentum, meeting Tsunade's devastating fist head-on without dodging or avoiding!
Two pure forces, powerful enough to shake mountains, finally collided in mid-air without any frills!
Centered on the point of contact between the two fists, a visible spherical shockwave exploded out!
The rubble and dust underfoot were instantly cleared away, forming a huge, shallow, circular pit tens of meters in diameter!
The surrounding trees snapped in half and were blown away by the violent blast of air!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, intense pain spread from their fists throughout their entire bodies!
The feedback of the force caused both of their arm muscles to spasm painfully!
But neither of them backed down!
The ground beneath their feet could not withstand the terrifying reaction force and began to crack and sink!
Jiraiya, who was observing the battle from a distance, said in a deep voice, "Tsunade's strength has been slowly recovering during the battle."
Sasuke smiled and said, "Naruto didn't use his full strength."
Orochimaru said, "It seems that Naruto wants to restore Tsunade's fighting instincts and physical abilities through battle."
This was a clash of pure physical strength, with sweat and dust mingling as they slid down their foreheads.
Tsunade's face was filled with shock and a soaring fighting spirit!
She never imagined that anyone could physically challenge her head-on in terms of pure skill and strength under normal circumstances!
Naruto's eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration. Apart from Guy, few people could satisfy him with this kind of close-quarters combat where every punch landed squarely.
The clash of forces was instantaneous; the two of them almost simultaneously released their force!
Taking advantage of the lingering impact, both sides launched another offensive!
Tsunade's left fist pounded out like an iron pestle, striking straight at Naruto's ribs!
Naruto used his elbow as a shield and slammed it down to block!
At the same time, a knee strike, like a poisonous dragon drill, aimed directly at Tsunade's waist and abdomen!
Tsunade used her other arm as if sealing off a wall, using her hard, iron-like forearm to forcefully block the knee strike!
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!"
A new round of even shorter, more intense, and more dangerous hand-to-hand combat has broken out!
The two moved, collided, and parried at high speed in the shallow pit of rubble!
Each attack was accompanied by a dull thud and a shower of flying stone fragments!
The movements were so fast that even Jiraiya and Orochimaru had to concentrate to barely catch the afterimage!
Sasuke had already activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and was leisurely observing the battle between the two.
The ground kept collapsing under Tsunade's stomping, and was then flattened by the wind pressure as Naruto nimbly dodged!
The two people moved in a manner resembling two bulldozers frantically plowing the land!
In the dust-filled center of the battlefield, only the dull thuds of fists clashing and the occasional swift figure flashing by!
The fierce battle lasted for nearly an hour, with the roar and shockwaves almost completely plundering the land.
Tsunade fought with increasing ferocity, her muscles, which had been numb from years of alcohol and escapism, were reawakened, and her long-dormant passion surged through her body, each strike accompanied by the howling sound of wind and thunder.
Sweat mixed with flying dust slid down her forehead and neck, but her eyes were only on the blond boy opposite her and his seemingly young but terrifyingly powerful body.
Naruto's movements remained fluid and precise, handling the situation flawlessly.
Sweat soaked through his black and white clothes, and his arms and calves were covered with countless bruises and contusions from Tsunade's terrifying strength. In some places, the skin was even scraped open and blood was seeping out.
But his eyes were unusually bright, as if he were enjoying this painful yet joyful baptism.
This pure physical clash almost brought him back to the limit of his training; this battle was the best touchstone for his body, which had been honed through countless trials.
"What an astonishing brat." Tsunade gasped for breath after Naruto skillfully deflected her attack once again, but a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "However, let's see how long your bones can hold out! Again!"
She took a deep breath, her chakra surging again, poised to launch another round of fierce attacks.
However, Naruto's aura suddenly changed. "Tsunade-senpai, if we continue fighting like this, we might fight for three days and three nights without a clear winner. Normally, I would be happy to continue fighting."
"But not this time! This battle should end."
Before he could finish speaking, an indescribable, pure, and terrifying energy surge erupted from Naruto's body without warning!
In an instant, blinding blue steam surged out from every pore of Naruto's body like a violent volcanic eruption!
The steam was so thick it was almost tangible, bathing his entire figure in a dazzling blue glow!
The ground beneath his feet could not withstand the sudden, violent force, and instantly, like fragile glass, it rapidly cracked and collapsed in a spiderweb pattern centered on him!
A violent gust of air emanated from Naruto, surging and swirling in all directions!
The surrounding rubble and broken wood were blown away by the sudden burst of airflow, creating a vacuum zone around him!
"Aha!!!"
A deep, powerful roar emanated from the blue flames.
At this moment, he is no longer that sunny young man.
He is an azure beast unleashed from the abyss!
"What?!" Tsunade, who had rushed halfway, stopped abruptly, her face instantly turning from exhilarating fighting spirit to utter shock.
The oncoming energy storm, which seemed capable of tearing her soul apart, made the hairs on her entire body stand on end!
This force made her instinctively sense danger!
Run! Run! Run!
"The Seventh Gate of Shock... Open!"
"Eight, Eight Gates?! Naruto, he can even open the seventh gate?!" Jiraiya's eyes widened.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Sasuke's eyes as he looked at Jiraiya.
"This is Naruto's true strength."
Orochimaru's pupils were also fixed on Naruto, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"
On the battlefield, Naruto's golden hair stood on end by the blue flames, surrounded by flashing blue, flame-like light, and his azure eyes looked indifferently at Tsunade.
The next instant, his figure vanished!
No, it hasn't disappeared!
That was during the state of shock, when the speed reached an unbelievable extreme that surpassed conventional visual capture!
The air was compressed to its limit in an instant, and then brutally torn apart!
A pure blue light streak, almost skimming the ground, with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the atmosphere, arrived in front of Tsunade in an instant, like a comet piercing through the sea of stars!
Chapter 105 Little Tsunade, I've got you covered!
A warning sign screamed in Tsunade's mind!
Her extraordinary fighting instincts left her no time to think; her body's reactions had already surpassed the limits of her mind!
He crossed his fists and held them tightly in front of him, instantly gathering the strongest defensive chakra around his body to withstand the devastating blow!
boom! ! ! ! !
A dull, heart-stopping bang suddenly exploded!
Naruto's fist, wreathed in surging blue light, landed squarely on Tsunade's crossed arms!
A ring of incredibly violent white shockwaves, visible to the naked eye, suddenly spread out in a circular pattern!
Wherever it passed, the already ravaged ground was as if it had been lifted up by an invisible giant shovel, and everything above the ground was swept away!
Tsunade, who was hit head-on, felt an unimaginable force pierce through her entire body!
It felt as if my arms had been violently struck by a rapidly moving mountain!
The arm bone let out a mournful cry, unable to bear the weight any longer!
"Ugh!" Tsunade groaned, her whole body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, completely powerless against the irresistible force!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Her body crashed into three raised earthen slopes in succession in the wilderness, plowing a deep ditch nearly ten meters long in the ground before she could barely stop.
She knelt on one knee, supporting herself on the ground with one hand, breathing heavily, a trickle of glaring blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
Naruto did not continue the pursuit. The effect of that attack was actually not much different from the Seventh Gate's ultimate technique, Daytime Tiger.
The Day Tiger is formed by compressing air with a punch and then expanding it in one breath, creating an air cannon shaped like a tiger, with enormous power and range!
He skipped the step of compressing the air and relied on explosive power and physical strength to deliver a punch. The range of the punch was not as large as that of the Day Tiger, but the attack power was no less than that of the Day Tiger.
"Lady Tsunade, give up. In this state, I can at least maintain it for another ten minutes," Naruto said to Tsunade.
Tsunade looked down at her trembling, throbbing arms, then recalled the despairing power that had felt like it had shattered her soul.
Even someone as proud as her had to admit a fact.
Completely defeated.
He was defeated by a boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old, through pure physical skill!
