Chapter 25: Incomplete Summoning and Super Strength
Within the Death Forest
The two designated a relatively open space as their dueling arena.
"Little Tomato, don't cry and throw a tantrum if you lose later!"
Fukuyo focused his gaze on Kushina's spirited little face.
Once he entered battle mode, his entire demeanor changed abruptly. His serious expression made Kushina tremble, and she subconsciously took two steps back.
There's no other reason than that whenever Fu Heiyao showed this expression in the past, he would severely punish her.
If it weren't for the Yang Release chakra within her, Kushina would probably have been lying in the hospital for a long time.
"Do you still remember the conditions you promised me?"
However, this time Kushina seemed to have something to rely on, and she quickly adjusted her state and shouted loudly.
"If I can defeat you, you must grant me one request unconditionally!"
"It counts, it always counts, as long as you can beat me."
Fukuyo waved towards Kushina and chuckled.
Looking at the ready-to-fight Kushina, Fushiko felt as if he had returned to the time when he first met Kushina.
Unlike the look of someone who's been thoroughly toyed with during their usual duels, Kushina's clear blue eyes were now filled with a burning desire for victory.
This made Fu Heiyao a little excited.
Six months ago, Kushina was beaten to the point of tears during a sparring session. This is the first battle between the two this year.
He was eager to know what kind of trump card Kushina had cultivated to have the confidence to challenge him.
After all, she should have seen the strength I've demonstrated.
I doubt they'd come and deliver it like some hot-blooded idiot...
"Give me a little something to look forward to, Kushina!"
When Kushina heard Fukuyo call her name directly, she knew he was serious. She stood with her feet staggered, lowered her center of gravity, and assumed a stance suitable for exerting force.
"Hunt, Jade Hound!"
Fu Heiya made the first move, but instead of engaging in direct combat, he formed hand seals.
The shadows surged, but instead of summoning the black and white Jade Dog shikigami as Kushina had expected, something even stranger appeared.
As if the shadow was being torn apart, two bodies were being pulled apart by the shadow, and the jade dog, whose edge was unstable, howled and roared.
By abandoning the third summoning element and the intelligence of the shikigami, the incomplete shikigami are prevented from being destroyed.
Fu Heiya then summoned a giant shadow serpent to surround and protect himself, before his true consciousness sank into the shadowy body of the black "hound".
"No time for explanations, tear it apart, my hound!"
Under Fukuyo's control, the two shadow hounds attacked Kushina like mad dogs.
"So dark, the Jade Dog can turn into this?!"
Kushina's expression changed drastically when she saw the two hunting dogs, which seemed to be made of shadows, attacking.
I thought I had figured out all the information about Fu Heiyao, but it turns out it was just the tip of the iceberg.
However, Kushina did not panic and quickly regained her composure, using her excellent close combat skills to engage in a fierce battle with the Shadow Hound.
Over the past two years, she had been defeated by Fu Heiyao countless times. Her accumulated combat experience was biased towards defense, and at this moment, she seemed to be handling the Shadow Hound's bite with ease.
The biting seemed endless, and after a while, Kushina, who couldn't even touch the edge of Obsidian, finally got angry.
"I've had enough of these boring battles!"
Kushina unleashed her trump card, gathering chakra in her arms, a flash of azure light, followed by a power and speed that even Fukuyo couldn't help but marvel at.
A hunting dog that was chasing and biting Kushina was grabbed by the neck and then torn apart by the violent force.
The two halves of the Shadow Hound's body drooped down, and a substance resembling black mud slowly dripped down.
The sheer violence was shocking.
However, things did not end there. Another shadow hound under Fu Heiyao's control leaped high into the air while its companion was fighting for its life.
The claws in the darkness, like guillotines, were aimed directly at Kushina's chest.
Kushina didn't turn around. Instead, she used the momentum to slide to the side in the direction of the punch, bracing herself with her hands on the ground, and began to spin like a top.
The high-top, open-toed ninja boots spun around and landed squarely on the shadow hound that lunged at Kushina.
At this moment, Kushina seemed to be possessed by Tsunade, every punch and kick was an interpretation of violence, and the Shadow Hound was kicked to death as casually as a stray dog on the roadside.
"A piece of cake!"
With the two Shadow Hounds dealt with successfully, Kushina's confidence soared. However, she did not relax and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Fukuko.
His long, fiery red hair was lifted by the immense chakra within him, and his aura was overwhelming and unstoppable.
Kushina swung her arm in a wide arc, a flash of azure light appearing on her arm, and unleashed a superhumanly powerful punch straight at Orochi.
The moment the azure light burst forth from Kushina's fist, even Fukuko was awestruck.
Before he arrived, the wind came first, and the fierce wind from his punches ruffled Obsidian's messy black hair.
"Superhuman strength, Kushina could never have learned such precise chakra techniques."
Fukuyo's pupils contracted sharply, but he immediately realized Kushina's abnormality.
Her hand was injured, yet it was constantly emitting a green light that represented medical ninjutsu—no, the healing speed was even faster than that.
In an instant, Fukuyo guessed how Kushina had unleashed her monstrous strength.
She didn't actually possess superhuman strength; she merely used her healing constitution and Yang Release to forcibly unleash it.
Strange power
A secret technique developed by Tsunade that requires extremely high levels of chakra manipulation.
It is a ninjutsu that highly compresses and concentrates chakra for a concentrated burst of power.
This is not brute force, but a delicate and skillful technique.
In the original manga, Sakura needed years of experience in medical ninjutsu to learn this technique.
Without perfect control over chakra, forcibly unleashing superhuman strength not only diminishes its power but also easily damages the meridians in the hands.
The importance of hands is self-evident; for ninjas who need to perform hand seals, an injury to their hands is tantamount to death.
An ordinary person would never risk losing both hands in exchange for a low-quality superhuman strength.
For Kushina, however, it was merely a loss of some vitality that could be replenished with a good night's sleep, and it was not a big deal at all.
At this moment, Kushina's arms were covered with a layer of blood-red chakra, giving her an extremely oppressive presence at first glance.
Actually, this was a misjudgment caused by blood mixing with chakra after capillaries ruptured.
If it weren't for Fushiko's knowledge of superhuman strength, one would have thought Kushina had become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki.
The shadow serpent was blasted apart by the monstrous force without any surprise, bursting open like tofu.
However, instead of being dispersed by the force of the punch, these shattered black fragments gathered together as if drawn by a suction force, instantly obscuring Kushina's vision.
"Xiao Guang! Come out now! What kind of man hides like this!"
Kushina, who had lost sight, said somewhat impatiently.
"Okay, I'm out. Now what are you going to do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the dark shadow vanished instantly, and Kushina's eyes lit up, but her joy vanished in the next second.
Because following the sunlight was a fierce flash of lightning.
Fu Heiyao, his body crackling with lightning, was now like thunder tearing through the darkness.
He was almost pressed against Kushina's face, and his arm grabbed two bolts of lightning and sent them towards Kushina's arms.
The other side of the Death Forest
Orochimaru and Jiraiya, along with Nawaki and Minato, arrived at the Forest of Death based on information from Fushiko and Kushina's shadow clones.
"Those damn You and Kushina! They even forgot my graduation ceremony and secretly used shadow clones to skip class without telling us!"
Rope Tree kept muttering to himself, but he was more angry than about skipping class at why the two of them hadn't told him the secret of the shadow clone earlier.
Doesn't this make him look silly for honestly attending class?!
Minato smiled somewhat helplessly.
However, he was also shocked when he learned that the two of them had secretly used shadow clones to skip class.
However, Minato suddenly realized that it could be done this way.
As expected of Yao, his understanding of ninjutsu is impeccable, and he can always come up with different ways to use ninjutsu.
"Those two brats were too reckless. Even if they are quite strong, the Death Forest is far too dangerous."
Jiraiya frowned, but quickly sensed the familiar chakra not far away using his elite Jonin senses.
"Found it, come with me."
Orochimaru shouted behind him and then leaped onto a tree branch, heading in the direction he sensed.
Nawaki and Minato exchanged a glance and immediately followed.
A moment later, the group climbed the nearest tree and looked down on the two men's "duel arena" from above.
However, upon arrival, they witnessed the bloody scene of Kushina tearing the Shadow Hound apart.
"This girl really took after Tsunade; she's so violent!"
The familiar force caused Jiraiya a sharp pain in his chest.
"So Kushina was holding back all along!" The sight of Kushina tearing the Shadow Hound apart really shocked Nawaki.
For the past six months, Kushina has been training with Tsunade and then using him to practice the results of her training.
He knew Kushina was strong, but he didn't expect her to be this strong.
He couldn't even imagine what would happen if Kushina's strength were applied to him.
Will it turn into fragments of the rope tree?
