Kei Yamanaka entered the top floor of the wooden building along with several high-ranking officials from Konoha, along with Onoki, Kitsuchi, Han, and Toroi.
The Anbu who arranged the meeting venue quickly set up chairs and tables near the windows before the group arrived, allowing everyone a clear view of the battle unfolding below.
One by one, they took their seats.
Onoki, Kitsuchi, and the others listened to the deafening explosions while watching the intense fight below, their eyes twitching in disbelief.
They knew Kei Yamanaka was strong—strong enough to inspire despair!
And they could guess that Tsunade, the newly instated Fourth Hokage, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki wouldn't be weak either.
After all, the former had already gained fame during the Second Great Ninja War. As for the latter… well, that was the Nine-Tails—mightiest of all the tailed beasts!
Still, they hadn't expected them to be this powerful!
And then there was Uchiha Fugaku from the Uchiha Clan, and that green-skinned guy with the thick eyebrows whose name they'd never even heard before!
Even if Konoha was known for its geniuses, shouldn't there still be some limits?
Could anyone off the street really do that kind of damage?
BOOM!
In the midst of an earth-shaking explosion,
Tsunade, her golden hair flying wildly in the energy blasts, surrounded by radiant white sage light, completely ignored the fact that her left shoulder had been pierced through by [Hell Stab - Niibon Gunshin], and punched A, the Third Raikage, straight into the ground made of Wood Release.
Before he could recover, four spectral white dragons composed of Sage Chakra lunged forward from around her.
They clamped down on the limbs of the Third Raikage, violently dragging him out of the crater!
Lowering his center of gravity with knees slightly bent, she launched forward with a devastating elbow strike right into the chest of the Third Raikage.
Combined with [Chakra Enhanced Strength], the blow sent the Raikage flying backward, smashing countless trees and boulders and kicking up a massive cloud of dust.
"Cough… cough… It's been years since I last took an injury…"
From within the swirling dust came a hacking cough, as A forced down the blood rising in his throat.
His right hand gripped the broken and dislocated ribs on his chest, forcefully resetting them.
He was faster than Tsunade. But this woman's strength surpassed even a maddened Eight-Tails!
That final strike had shattered through his Lightning Release Chakra Mode as if it were nothing, and even his legendary physical resilience felt fragile against such raw power!
And—
Through the smoke now slowly dispersing,
A, the Third Raikage, clearly saw that Tsunade's previously pierced shoulder had completely healed!
Without the torn clothes, no one would've known she'd been hurt at all!
"This is your last chance…"
Eyes narrowing, the Third Raikage slammed his left palm against the ground and launched himself skyward.
Lightning erupted from his entire body as he pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode beyond its limits!
His already formidable physique, supercharged by Lightning Release, erupted with overwhelming power far greater than anything he'd displayed before. A surging tide of immense energy flooded every fiber of his being.
The Third Raikage became lightning itself, bursting forth from the dust cloud.
Ignoring the charging process of Hell Stab entirely, Tsunade unleashed her ultimate technique: the One-Man-Army Palm!
"Raikage! You're a rare and incredible opponent!"
An excited grin curled Tsunade's lips as she clenched her fists. Brilliant white light instantly surged from her entire body, doubling in intensity!
Rather than dodging Raikage's incoming One-Man-Army Palm, she charged straight forward to meet it head-on!
On the rooftop,
Kei Yamanaka watched Tsunade get completely caught up in the fight and shook his head with a faint smile.
A, the Third Raikage, was indeed very strong.
When he released full power, he seemed almost too powerful to be just a Kage-level ninja!
He was even harder to deal with than Onoki, who wielded Dust Release techniques!
Unfortunately for him, he was facing none other than Tsunade herself!
The Natural Sage Body's enhancement was already immensely powerful, and Tsunade's chakra control itself far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Even while in Sage Mode, under the massive surge of sage chakra, every joint in her body could still freely unleash Sage Art-enhanced Chakra Enhanced Strength.
Her strength overpowered A, the Third Raikage, and could easily shatter through a body tougher than Gyuki's Eight-Tails form.
Her regeneration allowed her to completely shrug off Hell Stab's single-point extreme burst damage.
Tsunade was clearly enjoying the fight, while the Raikage, constantly outmatched, probably wanted to cry.
Meanwhile, Kushina and Killer B's battle was... hard to describe.
Before the fight had even started properly, Kushina pulled out the Lucky Star from her bag and activated its golden armor ability right away. Facing B who had transformed into Perfect Jinchuriki Mode, she completely ignored all of his flashy attacks.
Behind her, over a dozen massive chains—each as thick as a human head—swirled around, relying purely on raw power.
She absolutely pummeled Gyuki's Eight-Tails into a state worse than beaten livestock, leaving them too afraid to show their faces!
Frustrated beyond belief, both Gyuki and Killer B were about to activate Full Tailed Beast Mode, hoping to overwhelm Kushina with sheer size and strength.
Meanwhile, Kushina maintained both her Magical Girl Transformation and Lucky Star buff,
Then, she stacked Perfect Jinchuriki Mode on top of that!
Her small golden armor transformed into an even bigger one!
The originally human-head-sized Adamantine Sealing Chains instantly expanded several times larger—now as thick as water barrels!
A tiny Nine-Tails, barely twenty centimeters tall, crouched on Kushina's shoulder.
As it laughed loudly watching fellow jinchuriki pummel the Eight-Tails and its host, it also taunted them with sarcastic remarks, making the opponents fume.
This enraged Gyuki so much that he bolted while howling about betrayal from the Nine-Tails!
After getting beaten for quite some time,
Killer B finally noticed the golden glow emanating from Kushina slowly fading.
Just when he started forming some counterattack plans,
Kushina pulled out yet another tiny golden star from her bag, reactivating the golden armor's invincibility effect.
Standing behind Onoki and Kitsuchi, Han—the Five-Tails Jinchuriki—watched from afar as Gyuki was chased and pounded nonstop until sweat poured down his face.
He knew all along that Roshi wasn't reliable!
If he had jumped in too, those water-barrel-thick sealing chains would've killed him outright!
Let alone the Mangekyō Sharingan...
Seeing Roshi—the Four-Tails Jinchuriki—who had already fully transformed into his tailed beast form, Han struggled to keep his expression neutral.
"Come here, use your left hand. Nice! Now switch hands. Good monkey! Good monkey!"
Fugaku Uchiha took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped away the bloodstained tears from the corner of his eyes, and happily teased the Four-Tails, Son Goku, crouching in front of him.
"Senior~ Senior~ I've never seen a monkey take a dump! Let him perform that! Ahahaha~ Wait, tailed beasts are made of chakra, so they can't do this kind of thing? What a shame!"
As Kei Yamanaka and others entered the building, Tobi silently latched onto Fugaku Uchiha's body during the moment when Roshi was distracted by the [Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu]. Tobi kept murmuring softly to himself.
"Tobi, your technique is truly impressive! No wonder you're one of Kei-sama's direct subordinates!"
"Senior, you're complimenting me too much! Your Mangekyō technique is incredibly powerful too!"
"Hahahaha~ Not bad, not bad! Tobi, what else do you want to see? How about having Roshi perform a traditional female dance together with the Four-Tails?"
"Great idea, senior! I heard our Lord used to enjoy watching dances back in the day!"
"Then let's start dancing!"
On the open ground in front of the building, Fugaku Uchiha had the Four-Tails Son Goku perform an elegant traditional female dance.
Seeing this scene, Kei Yamanaka almost spit out the mouthful of tea he had just sipped.
He just didn't want Fugaku Uchiha—his loyal junior brother—to waste his vision powers the way Sasuke from the original storyline did shortly after awakening his Mangekyō.
Damn it!
There were so many intense battles going on here!
And the only one acting remotely normal was Might Lord—who was usually prone to emotional outbursts and seemed rather unstable!
