"Painful Sky Foot!"
Tsunade leaped high, one jade leg raised like a thunder axe splitting the sea, carrying the force of a thousand jun, and smashed fiercely towards Orochimaru's head.
The so-called Super Strength refers to the precise manipulation of Chakra, turning oneself into an internal combustion engine, gathering the Chakra in the body at one point, and releasing it after a violent "burn" combined with physical strength.
The contact surface will erupt with a powerful airflow, which can easily smash boulders and crack the earth.
Of course, if this Chakra is mixed with Yang Release, using vigorous vitality as fuel, its power will be even greater. Therefore, this move is almost a patent of the Senju Clan.
No one would be foolish enough to directly take on Super Strength.
Tsunade didn't expect this move to end the battle directly. Her original plan was to use "Painful Sky Foot" to open the way, using its shockwave to affect the opponent, causing stiffness. No matter what reaction the opponent made next, she would counterattack immediately.
However, to her surprise, Orochimaru did not dodge, but slightly raised his hands, trying to block the attack.
"Foolish!"
Tsunade's pupils shrank slightly. She just wanted to teach Orochimaru a lesson, not really kill him, but at this time, the arrow was on the string, and it was too late to withdraw her strength.
"Crack!"
In just an instant of contact, Tsunade's explosive leg directly smashed Orochimaru's hands, and then, with his arms deformed in his eyes, slammed into his scapula!
With the explosion of great force, Orochimaru's body suddenly made a sound of bone cracking!
However, before Tsunade landed, the Orochimaru in front of her began to twist and deform, turning into a mass of twisted gray-scaled vipers. They drilled out of his robe and quickly wrapped around Tsunade's slender legs. The tough snake bodies were comparable to oil-soaked hemp ropes, and they tightly bound her in just a moment.
"Damn... what is this, a Snake Clone?"
Tsunade suddenly raised her head, because a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from her ear.
She didn't have time to look back at all. The psychological quality forged by years of cultivation allowed her to calm down instantly in a critical moment, gather her mind and breath, concentrate the Chakra of her whole body on her limbs, and then burst out suddenly.
A sound of bone cracking, "Gaba Gaba," suddenly came from all over her body. It was the sound of the vipers breaking. The flesh and blood were also directly torn apart. Under the tearing of Super Strength, Tsunade broke free from the entanglement of the vipers and slightly turned her head.
With a "chi" sound, the afterimage of her eyes caught a flash of blue light. Orochimaru, holding a Light Blade, crossed her side.
The wind howled, and a strand of light golden hair fluttered like catkins.
Tsunade's cheek suddenly felt a burst of tingling. She couldn't help but reach out and wipe it. The touch was moist and warm, and bright red blood stained her fingertips.
Orochimaru turned his head slightly, and the "Autumn Dew on Leaves" in his palm turned into pale blue light spots and dissipated inch by inch, like scattered fireflies.
Tsunade stared at Orochimaru with a low voice, "When did you replace the clone?"
Orochimaru turned around slowly, "When you attacked me for the first time."
"Hmph, it seems that you haven't forgotten how to be a Ninja in the years you've been away from the village," she said coldly.
"Don't be ridiculous, Tsunade." Orochimaru licked his lips. "If I wanted to, you would be dead just now."
"What did you say!" Tsunade clenched her fists and was about to step forward when a hand steadily pressed her shoulder from behind.
"He's right, Tsunade." Jiraiya looked solemn, staring at the indifferent Orochimaru, and couldn't help frowning.
From an observer's point of view, he had just watched the entire exchange between the two sides. The Ninjutsu similar to "Chakra Scalpel" that Orochimaru showed at the end had a complete opportunity to stab Tsunade's other vital points.
However, he chose Tsunade's neck, which had already turned a certain angle.
The truth was, this guy really held back.
"Tsunade, what I'm about to say might hurt morale, but it's a reality we have to face."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Although we've trained hard for many years and have become elite Jonin who can stand on our own, the current Orochimaru is someone we two must join forces to contend with."
Seeing the solemn look in Jiraiya's eyes, Tsunade finally became serious.
This Jiraiya guy is usually very erratic, only waking up from his mischievousness when faced with real danger, which means that the Orochimaru in front of them is indeed a being that can pose a life-or-death crisis to the two of them.
"Contend?" Orochimaru raised both hands. "Then let's try and see if you have what it takes!"
As if he thought of something, the corner of his mouth raised in a strange smile, his tone light and slow, "Well then, let's start with Taijutsu."
A gust of breeze blew past, and Orochimaru disappeared directly from where he was.
"What?" Before Jiraiya could react, the airflow beside him stirred, and a fierce whip kick suddenly flashed out, striking towards his temple.
He raised his hand to block, fist and leg collided, and a muffled sound immediately burst out in the air.
Blocked by the force of the impact, Orochimaru's ghostly figure also appeared between the two.
"Got you, bastard!"
Tsunade immediately seized the opportunity to attack, twisting her waist and swinging her fist, a Super Strength punch hitting Orochimaru's abdomen hard!
"Bang!"
The force erupted, Orochimaru opened his mouth wide, his entire body bent like a folding chair.
Suddenly, a thick white snake shot out from his mouth like lightning, coiling around Tsunade again, its body tightly constricting, causing her whole body to make muffled sounds like popping beans.
"Don't worry, I'll help you!" Jiraiya stepped forward, about to reach out, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the panicked expression on Tsunade's face.
"Careful..."
Before Tsunade could open her mouth, Jiraiya saw everything that was happening behind her from her shrinking pupils:
Orochimaru's body actually emerged again from the white snake's open mouth, his neck stretching out like a snake, biting silently.
Jiraiya suddenly turned his hand back, directly grabbing Orochimaru's neck, and noticing that the other party's neck was still stretching, he immediately changed to pinching hard with both hands, swinging him around a few times like a shot put athlete, using his body and inertia to throw Orochimaru far away.
"Sorry, I was careless." Tsunade said in a low voice.
"Then get your spirits up!" Jiraiya shouted in a low voice, exerting force with both hands, cooperating with Tsunade's Super Strength, freeing her from the white snake's restraint.
Orochimaru gracefully adjusted his posture in mid-air, his feet landing slightly.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
Jiraiya formed hand seals, his mouth bulged, and a huge amount of flame ignited the earth, the red light illuminating Orochimaru's eyes.
This is a very powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu. First, the mouth is filled with oil made of Chakra, and at the same time as it is spewed out, it is ignited with Fire Release Chakra. With the oil fully burning, the temperature is even higher than before, and the power is great.
"So quickly entering a Ninjutsu showdown? Very well."
Orochimaru revealed an excited smile, clapping his palms together, "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
