Chapter 458: Chibaku Tensei!
"Mei, you really are ill-tempered. Aren't you worried you won't be able to get married?"
Kenichi dodged Mei's attack, and countless wooden shields rose beside him.
But before he could even catch his breath, all of the wooden shields were smashed apart, and Tsunade's furious punch struck Kenichi heavily.
Looking at the dissipating Shadow Clone, Tsunade's expression was ugly.
"This guy..."
Tsunade gritted her teeth and looked at her severed wrist.
Her hand was gone.
Strangely, it did not hurt or itch. It had simply vanished.
Even with Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, there was no good way to deal with such a severed limb. However, she now had a better understanding of Kenichi's ability.
"Mei, Kenichi's Mangekyo Sharingan is very special. He seems to be able to directly erase parts of our body tissue. Be extra careful when fighting him."
Tsunade spoke softly while searching for Kenichi's tracks.
At the same time, she also had to guard against Kenichi going over to cooperate with the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.
Just now, those two had worked together and directly killed Kazekage Rasa.
If another Kage died there, things would become even more troublesome.
Kenichi squatted on a treetop and looked down at Tsunade and Mei below, feeling a bit of a headache.
Mei was very strong.
Tsunade was also very strong.
Although Kenichi had taken advantage of Tsunade's lack of understanding toward his Mangekyo Sharingan ability to remove one of her hands, this had clearly only made Tsunade even angrier.
Seeing the Yin Seal open on Tsunade's forehead, Kenichi knew that Tsunade was now fighting at full power.
This setup would probably be used against Madara in the future.
But the good news was that he had Nagato helping him.
Nagato was using the Six Paths of Pain to deal with the Raikage and the Tsuchikage, while Kenichi dealt with the Hokage and the Mizukage.
As for Kazekage Rasa, he had already died in battle, and Kenichi planned to make use of his corpse.
If not for the sudden outbreak of war between the four Ninja Villages, Kenichi would have even planned to collect the remains of various powerhouses in the Shinobi World, then form an Edo Tensei army to deal with these troublesome people.
However, Kenichi was not without backup plans now.
He already had the First Hokage's cells, and the First Hokage could be summoned with Edo Tensei at any time.
But how much power the Edo Tensei First Hokage could exert was still a question.
Not to mention that Kenichi did not have much time to create the Edo Tensei bodies needed for the technique.
"It's a pity. Although many people have died here, there probably aren't many corpses around. If I want to use Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, I'll have to wait until the main battlefield suffers heavy casualties to maximize the benefits."
Kenichi narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
He wondered what Orochimaru was doing now.
Before Kenichi came to deal with Tsunade and the others, he had also equipped Orochimaru with a special tactical squad of his own.
However, due to the Shinobi World's technological production capacity, that tactical squad did not have much ammunition.
Even with Kenichi's Shadow Clones constantly producing it, they still had not made much.
But if used properly, the effect should still be very good.
While Kenichi was pondering, the tree beneath him fell.
The enraged Tsunade had found his location and launched a fierce attack.
Mei, standing to the side, also showed no mercy. Every strike was aimed to kill.
"You two are really ruthless."
Kenichi chuckled and teased them, then was almost kicked by Tsunade.
Tsunade had no intention of reminiscing with Kenichi.
Although she had one less hand, Tsunade's monstrous strength had not been affected much.
Kenichi instantly dodged the combined attack from Tsunade and Mei.
He frowned slightly.
If this entanglement continued, victory was not impossible, but it would consume a great deal of chakra.
Although Hikari could replenish him, Kenichi did not want things to become so troublesome.
He needed to find an opportunity.
An opportunity to severely injure either Mei or Tsunade.
Kenichi tapped his toes against the ground, his body drifting backward as he dodged Tsunade's pursuit.
Tsunade now had one less hand.
Although her fighting style was unique and she rarely used ninjutsu, losing one hand would still have some impact, right?
Moreover, as a medical ninja, and a Kage-level medical ninja at that, Tsunade's presence on the battlefield would be a great help to the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Kenichi decided on his target.
This time, he would severely injure Tsunade.
If Tsunade also fought to the death like Jiraiya, Kenichi could only send her to the Pure Land to accompany him.
However, judging from Tsunade's current attitude and fighting will, Kenichi felt that he could not let her die peacefully.
Unless he possessed the overwhelming strength of Six Paths Madara, he could not hold back against a powerhouse of Tsunade's level.
"I need some time..."
Kenichi narrowed his eyes.
Tsunade and Mei kept hounding him, leaving him with little time to prepare.
He had to find a way to buy himself a little time.
Not much.
Just one minute.
Thinking of this, Kenichi knew what ninjutsu to use.
As Kenichi quickly formed hand seals, a dense fog rapidly spread out from him, enveloping everything around them.
Mei could not even see Tsunade standing opposite her.
"This guy..."
Mei gritted her teeth.
When it came to the Hidden Mist Jutsu, Mei was definitely an expert.
She could tell that the Hidden Mist Jutsu Kenichi had used was not low in quality. A large amount of chakra had been poured into it to achieve this kind of effect.
Mei felt somewhat uneasy.
That bastard Kenichi, just how much chakra did he have?
To be able to squander it like this.
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Tsunade stomped hard on the ground.
A huge shockwave dispersed the nearby mist, but soon, the dense fog enveloped them again.
Tsunade did not hesitate and directly retreated.
She knew some intelligence about Kenichi's combat style.
It mentioned that Kenichi liked combining Hidden Mist Jutsu with Lightning Release ninjutsu to strike enemies.
Under such dense fog, Mei could only temporarily choose to retreat as well, since she had also seen some intelligence about Kenichi.
Kenichi had no intention of using ninjutsu to attack Mei and Tsunade.
He went straight to the place where Rasa had died in battle.
Rasa's mutilated body was very conspicuous on the ground.
Nagato and the Raikage were still fighting in the distance.
"Kazekage, although your strength is insufficient, still..."
Kenichi placed his hand on Rasa's forehead.
The dense fog dissipated.
Kenichi was not surprised.
Although he had used a Sage Art, who were his opponents?
Tsunade and Mei.
It was impossible to expect the Hidden Mist Jutsu alone to incapacitate them.
"What did you do?"
Tsunade frowned as she looked at Kenichi, who was standing calmly in front of her.
After the dense fog was dispelled, there had been no follow-up attack.
At that moment, Tsunade knew that Kenichi had not used the Hidden Mist Jutsu to set up a combined ninjutsu, but to conceal his movements.
"What did I do? Hehehe."
Kenichi smiled and answered with a question, making Tsunade's remaining fist clench even tighter.
This guy was so annoying.
"Sister Tsunade, if you stop now and take the Konoha ninja away, we can still talk."
Kenichi narrowed his eyes.
He planned to persuade Tsunade one last time.
After all, his relationship with Tsunade was not bad, and if Tsunade died, things would become even more troublesome.
"Never!"
Tsunade's angry eyes stared straight at Kenichi.
She was the Hokage.
She was also a ninja.
For the village, for so many villagers, she had gone against her conscience many times.
And this time...
Kenichi sighed.
It seemed there was no other way.
Tsunade twisted her neck.
Fine.
She had to deal with Kenichi as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the other side might...
Just as she thought this, a figure flew over.
It was Pain, whose upper garment had been destroyed, but whose eyes remained just as cold.
"Little girl Tsunade! Is it really that hard to deal with a brat?"
A muffled thunder sounded in the distance.
Immediately afterward, a man rushed over at high speed.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode: Lariat!
Kenichi frowned slightly.
Although he had a Sage Body, he was not arrogant enough to take a Lariat head-on.
So he directly used a Lightning Clone, letting the clone explode while his real body supported Nagato.
"Did you mess up?"
Kenichi looked at Nagato in front of him and almost wanted to laugh.
It was rare to see Nagato in such a disheveled state.
"Onoki is a bit troublesome," Nagato said calmly.
The battle still raged in the distant forest.
Onoki was dealing with Nagato's other Pain bodies there.
"Brat! Being conceited will get you killed!"
The Raikage was in high spirits.
The guy with the Sage Eyes had made him very uncomfortable just now.
They were all ninja, so what was he putting on airs for?
And calling himself a god?
Ridiculous.
Nagato looked coldly at Raikage A in front of him.
"I gained transcendent power through infinite pain."
Nagato remained calm.
Pain raised his hands to his chest, palms facing each other.
Kenichi's pupils contracted.
Could it be...
"Brat! Don't talk big!"
Although A did not know what Pain was doing, his instincts told him to stop it.
But A and Tsunade, who were charging forward, were met by a torrent of flames.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
However, this ninjutsu only delayed A and Tsunade for a short time before Tsunade used raw strength to smash a path through the flames.
But that was enough.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
Pain threw the black orb in his hand.
The black orb quickly ascended, and its powerful gravitational pull began constantly dragging everything nearby toward it.
Rocks were absorbed.
Trees flew up.
Even Rasa's corpse flew toward the center along with the rising chunks of earth.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"
Tsunade was somewhat shocked.
She had never seen such a unique ninjutsu before, and the strength of that suction force made even Tsunade feel troubled.
The ground kept shaking, making it impossible to stand firm.
"This is useless!"
A, surrounded by lightning, charged toward Pain.
Pain raised his hand.
A's body suddenly paused, but then he immediately realized something was wrong.
This guy had not used that strange ninjutsu.
Nagato suddenly charged toward A.
After closing the distance, he sent A flying with Shinra Tensei.
A, suspended in midair, was pulled by Chibaku Tensei and crashed into the rising giant rocks.
Kenichi did not hesitate.
He knew that Chibaku Tensei was a powerful ocular technique, but it was not impossible to break.
In the original story, Nagato's Chibaku Tensei had been broken by a rampaging Naruto.
Raikage A's strength could not be underestimated either.
It was impossible to rely on Chibaku Tensei alone to deal with A.
A was capable of fighting the Eight-Tails.
Countless wooden spikes shot out from Kenichi's side, rapidly flying toward A.
At the same time, Kenichi also rushed forward, but Tsunade blocked his path.
Mei's Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique also sprayed toward Kenichi's back.
Kenichi's hand twitched, and a sword made of lightning appeared in his hand.
The turbulent lightning leaped constantly.
Wooden shields appeared behind him, blocking the Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique.
Layer after layer of wooden shields was continuously corroded, but Kenichi's wooden shields seemed endless.
Mei, who was about to pursue, had just begun forming hand seals when a huge suction force pulled at her.
Her body suddenly flew backward toward Nagato.
Pain held a black receiver in his hand, ready to strike.
"Amamiya Kenichi!"
Tsunade roared in anger and swung her remaining fist at Kenichi's face.
Kenichi gripped the lightning sword in his hand and brought it down.
The almost solidified lightning collided violently with Tsunade's fist, and countless bolts of electricity spread outward.
Tsunade gritted her teeth.
After the Strength of a Hundred Seal was released, all injuries on her body were automatically repaired.
With a full-power strike, Tsunade even shattered the lightning sword in Kenichi's hand.
Her fist then forcefully struck Kenichi's head.
"You think you can restrain me like this?"
A furious voice sounded.
The Fourth Raikage, A, stepped across the rocks of Chibaku Tensei and swooped down quickly, his wrist aimed at Kenichi's neck.
"Lariat repeater, huh?"
Kenichi was a little speechless.
Could A not use some other move?
Why was it always Lariat?
Kenichi was almost afraid that when he went to sleep at night, he would pull back the covers and find nothing but Lariats.
But it was also at this moment that Rasa, who had been sucked onto the rocks, swayed and stood up.
He raised both hands, aiming at Raikage A and Tsunade, whose backs were turned to him.
Gold Dust condensed around him, forming sharp spikes that pierced fiercely toward Tsunade and A's backs.
Two huge wooden hands appeared in front of Kenichi, grabbing toward Tsunade and A respectively.
"Something's wrong..."
Tsunade noticed the whistling sound behind her.
She glanced back from the corner of her eye and saw the rapidly approaching Gold Dust spikes.
Looking at the wooden hands in front of her that she could easily shatter, then at Kenichi behind them, Tsunade gritted her teeth in hatred.
But she had no choice.
She could only turn around and deal with the giant Gold Dust spikes behind her.
