Konoha Hypocrite-Chapter 258.1: Breaking Momentum, Toying With Hearts
On the battlefield, the two people fought with their bodies, discarding the conventional ninjas fighting style. Sandaime Raikage relied on his Lightning Style Armor, which was known as the absolute defense. Due to this, he was not afraid of any kind of head-on battle.
As for Uchiha Tonan, he had the bonus of Adamantine Body and Soft Physique Modification, which belonged to both external and internal cultivation respectively. His physical defense was not inferior to that of the Raikage from any perspective.
But after Tonan’s momentum was exhausted, he fell into a disadvantageous position. This was because the Sandaime Raikage had rich experience in hand-to-hand combat, and Tonan was not a pure taijutsu ninja. This was the first time he was fighting with just his physical body.
However, what he lacked in ability, he made up for with abundant knowledge. Especially after he performed a large number of human experiments, his understanding of the human body was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Tonan was very clear about which muscle had the strongest explosive power, and which joint was the weakest or the least sensitive under the given situation. Relying on his profound knowledge, his movements became better as the battle continued, and he seized back the advantageous position he had in the beginning, making the Raikage go on the defensive again.
Especially under the effect of Soft Physique Modification, Tonan’s moves were extremely tricky. Coupled with their extremely fast movement speed, Sandaime Raikage’s previous hand-to-hand combat experiences were almost useless.
Boom… The two people’s fists collided, and a huge circular crater appeared on the ground around them. Also, when their fists collided, it gave birth to a violent shockwave, and sand and stones flew across the battlefield as if a sandstorm had been set off.
When the shockwave blew into the Konoha battlefront, everyone squinted their eyes and lowered their bodies. In addition, the surrounding became dark, grayish, and chaotic.
Swish… The two people jumped back simultaneously as if they had a tacit understanding among themselves and dispersed their remaining energy. They then stood across the deep crater facing each other.
Sandaime Raikage’s entire face was red and his eyes were filled with a fanatic look as he excitedly said, “Little kid, I’m very surprised. And it’s too unexpected. I like you very much. It’s truly satisfying.”
Ding! Gained ‘A’s acknowledgment.
A meaningful smile appeared on Tonan’s face, and he replied, “What a coincidence, I like you too.” Both the Sandaime Raikage and Quasi Yondaime Raikage of Kumo would abandon their original names and would be called ‘A’.
Tonan had never thought that Sandaime Raikage would acknowledge him because of his strength. That’s right, both the emotional and intelligence quotients of this kind of very simple-minded fellows were approaching zero.
It’s as difficult as ascending heaven in one step to gain their acknowledgment through emotion and belief. But it’s very simple using physical powers. After thinking about it, Tonan squatted on the ground and placed his hands on it. He then circulated the senjutsu chakra within his body.
Thump, thump, thump… The sound of a heart beating like thunder could be heard throughout the battlefield. The muscles on Tonan’s body became full again. Moreover, along with the rhythm of the heartbeat, the muscles expanded and shrunk again and again.
In the Kumo battlefront, Killer B kept nodding his head, stretched out his hands, waved them, and said, “Yo yo… this is the rhythm…”
‘A’ frowned and said in a deep voice, “Shut up, B.” As for Sandaime Raikage, the fanatical look on his face had increased some more and the lightning armor around his body had become more and more excited.
Rumble… The muscles all over Tonan’s body bulged like a dragon’s and his entire body emitted an extreme feeling of strength. The ground around him cracked inch by inch like a spider web, and the small stones floated in mid-air as if they had escaped the gravitational force.
In both Konoha and Kumo battlefronts, there was not one person who could stay calm. They were either shocked or in awe. In this battle, Tonan wanted to show his great momentum and his character. He wanted to show off enough to gain more acknowledgments.
Tonan raised his head a little and stared at Sandaime Raikage. He said, “Are you ready?” Sandaime Raikage didn’t answer. He just clenched his fists tightly and the Lightning Style Armor around his body instantly became several times thicker.
Boom… On the battlefield, a huge crater appeared in the place where Tonan was standing just a moment ago. Then the two people’s figures completely disappeared from everyone’s field of vision. Earth-shaking sounds of explosions were continuously heard all over the battlefield.
People could only see the electric current surging in the air and sparks erupting all over the place.
Bang, bang, bang, bang… In the Konoha battlefront, Namikaze Minato took Hatake Kakashi back to the side of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin. He had returned just in time to come across this fierce battle scene.
Minato’s dynamic response had already far surpassed the average people’s dynamic vision, but now, even he could only see afterimages left of the moments when those two people collided.
On the ground, huge craters appeared from time to time as if invisible meteorites were hitting the ground one after another. Everyone could only rely on the deep craters that appeared on the ground to judge where those two people had landed to borrow the strength.
Kakashi stared intently at the battlefield, but he couldn’t see the figure of those two people. He muttered with a shocked look, “So strong…”
Minato’s forehead was a little soaked by cold sweat as well. He could not help but think of what would have happened if Tonan was not here. “If Tonan hadn’t appeared in time, I would’ve had to face such a powerful opponent. With such speed, I might not be able to dodge him even with my Flying Thunder God.”
Immediately afterward, he couldn’t help muttering, “Tonan has already surpassed me. Such a battle makes my blood boil.” Obito and Rin on one side weren’t thinking as much as their sensei.
Obito clenched his fists with excitement written all over his face. He then raised it and shouted, “Tonan, you can do it!”
Rin also placed her hands in front of her mouth and yelled, “Tonan, you can do it.”
The cheer may have stimulated everyone because soon afterward, all the ninjas in the entire Konoha battlefront began shouting….
“Tonan, you can do it.”
“Tonan, you can do it.”
