Chapter 208: This Guy Is a Monster?!
Oborotsuki used Flying Thunder God and easily appeared behind Tsunade.
He reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder.
Then, with a playful smile, he said:
"You lost."
"No, more accurately—you lost again."
The moment Tsunade felt the touch on her shoulder, she reacted.
Hearing Oborotsuki's meaningful voice, she didn't hold back at all. Instead, she accelerated, spinning around and kicking toward him.
At the same time, her left fist gathered a massive amount of monstrous strength chakra.
If this punch landed, even a mountain would collapse.
However, Tsunade's attack missed once again.
Oborotsuki, with the Decapitation Greatsword on his back and arms folded, landed calmly about thirty meters away from Tsunade.
He looked at her with great interest as she stood there, furious and full of suspicion.
"Your speed…"
Tsunade had missed several times in a row. Seeing Oborotsuki standing there completely composed, her heart was shaken.
At the same time, a possibility flashed through her mind.
This kind of unbelievable movement speed—other than the Body Flicker Technique or other space-time ninjutsu—could also be achieved by one particular forbidden technique.
That was the technique personally developed by her great-uncle, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju: the Flying Thunder God Technique!
But how could a Kirigakure ninja possibly know how to use Flying Thunder God?
Tsunade's heart was filled with doubt and confusion.
"Did I overthink it?"
But before she could figure out what was going on,
Oborotsuki disappeared once again.
This time, Tsunade was already on guard. She exploded with chakra all over her body and attacked in all directions at once, releasing terrifying monstrous strength.
However, she had only focused on attacking front, back, left, and right—she had overlooked the most critical direction: directly above her head!
"You lost for the third time."
Oborotsuki descended from the sky. The Decapitation Greatsword released three trails of blue flames, like three raging blue dragons that completely engulfed Tsunade.
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
Violent explosions rang out.
The ground collapsed, and smoke and dust billowed everywhere.
After a while, the thick smoke and flames finally dispersed.
But Tsunade was no longer in the large crater created by the explosion.
Oborotsuki's gaze shifted to the left front.
Sure enough, he saw Tsunade standing there, breathing heavily and looking up at him in the sky with shock and uncertainty.
She looked a little disheveled.
Her clothes had minor tears.
The scrapes on her face were healing rapidly. In moments, they were completely gone, the wounds vanished without a trace.
Her skin remained as smooth, supple, and crystal-clear as jade.
"Oh? Your medical ninjutsu really is as powerful as those people said…"
Oborotsuki said with a playful smile.
"Those people?"
Tsunade frowned, showing a puzzled expression.
"Ah, the people who asked me to come find you and help them."
"Kumogakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure…"
Oborotsuki listed the names of the villages one by one, as if reciting a list.
Hearing this, Tsunade once again showed an expression of shock and confusion.
"What exactly are you talking about?"
Tsunade stared at Oborotsuki and pressed for an answer.
"Oh, and there's also Konoha."
"These villages' people asked me to come find you for help…"
"There's a guy named Hiruzen Sarutobi—he seems to be Konoha's Third Hokage or something. He's probably about to die. If he doesn't get treatment from a powerful medical ninja like you, he won't make it."
Oborotsuki completely ignored Tsunade's shocked reaction.
He continued speaking casually.
After hearing all this, Tsunade's face changed drastically. She frowned deeply, staring at Oborotsuki with wide, bright eyes in disbelief:
"Kid! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
A terrifying surge of chakra erupted from Tsunade's body.
This aura was completely different from before.
Even Oborotsuki was a little surprised.
It was obvious that she had only been half-hearted earlier—she hadn't been taking him seriously at all.
Only now, after hearing that someone from Konoha was in trouble, did Tsunade finally become serious.
"Nonsense?"
Oborotsuki shook his head: "I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can just come back to Kirigakure with me and see for yourself."
"It's not that far anyway."
He spread his hands casually.
"So you already knew who I was from the beginning."
Tsunade regained her composure, took a deep breath, and stared at Oborotsuki with curiosity as she questioned him.
Oborotsuki simply gave a light laugh and didn't respond.
"Tell me—what exactly happened?!"
"Why did those villages all appear in Kirigakure at the same time?"
Tsunade pressed again.
In her mind, she thought silently: "Even the Third old man came… what on earth is going on?"
"Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure… several villages, and even their Kage showed up. Could it be…"
"War is breaking out again?"
Having experienced the Great Ninja Wars herself, Tsunade quickly realized this possibility.
Based on what the opponent had said and combining all the clues, this was the most likely scenario.
"It seems that old man is your teacher, right? So do you want to come back with me? Maybe you can still save him…"
"Or are you going to sit back and watch your teacher die in our Kirigakure just for the sake of gambling?"
"Kid, what did you just say?"
Tsunade flew into a rage upon hearing those last words.
She stomped the ground violently, and her body shot toward Oborotsuki like lightning.
However, this time Oborotsuki didn't dodge her attack.
He stood calmly in place, not moving or evading, and slowly extended his left hand.
BOOM—
He caught Tsunade's fist—packed with terrifying monstrous strength—with a single hand.
In an instant, the force passed through Oborotsuki's body and transmitted into the ground beneath his feet.
The spot where he stood sank several meters deep, and the entire ground cracked open like a spider web.
Rolling clouds of dust spread continuously into the distance.
It was clear that the power of Tsunade's punch was absolutely extraordinary.
Yet at this moment, Tsunade was more shocked than ever before.
She stared at Oborotsuki in disbelief, her bright eyes wide as she looked at the half-smiling face in front of her.
"You… you actually blocked my monstrous strength punch with just one hand?!"
This was simply unbelievable!
Ever since she earned the title of "Konoha's Legendary Sannin" in Amegakure—teaming up with Orochimaru and Jiraiya to fight the "Demigod" Hanzo the Salamander and becoming famous—
there had never been anyone who could directly clash with and withstand her monstrous strength attack without taking any damage.
Whether it was the undying Orochimaru or Jiraiya who had mastered senjutsu,
those guys would still be knocked down if they took one of her punches.
But right now, this kid… Hōzuki Oborotsuki… he had actually blocked her!
And he was completely unharmed!
How… was this possible?
Was he a monster?
