"He's gotten stronger!"
Tsunade watched Yagyu fighting in the distance, a look of shock on her face.
How much time had passed? Yagyu's Taijutsu had become powerful to this extent.
One sword strike suppressed Chiyo; one sword strike repelled the Raikage.
Tsunade felt that even she, known throughout the ninja world for her Chakra Enhanced Strength, would struggle to achieve what Yagyu was accomplishing right now.
"Earth Style: Mountain Earth Jutsu!"
Seeing this, Kitsuchi acted urgently. His hands formed seals to release an Earth Style ninjutsu, and the ground on both sides of Yagyu immediately rumbled.
Two massive rocks rose from the earth, squeezing towards Yagyu like two moving hills.
"Boring!"
Yagyu swung the longsword in his hand. The golden light sword tore through the air, and powerful sword qi swept out in all directions like a tsunami.
Before the two moving hills could touch Yagyu, they were torn in half by his sword strike.
"Hell Stab: Three-Finger Nukite!"
The Third Raikage roared, lightning erupting all over his body as he crashed towards Yagyu like a human tank.
Yagyu's previous attack hadn't caused him much damage.
The Third Raikage's physical durability was likely the strongest in the ninja world.
Of course, excluding non-humans at the Six Paths level.
The Third Raikage's physical toughness was almost impossible to tear.
Coupled with the defense and enhancement brought by the Lightning Style Armor, the Third Raikage was the strongest tank in the ninja world.
In the original story, the Third Raikage was a man who wrestled with ten thousand muscular enemies for three days and three nights.
In the end, he wasn't beaten to death, but died of exhaustion from severely overdrawing his strength.
"So fast!"
Yagyu watched the rapidly approaching Third Raikage. His body moved, transforming into countless golden lights, appearing instantly above the Third Raikage's head.
A golden cross of light appeared beneath his feet, and he launched a flying overhead kick, sending the Third Raikage flying away.
"Speed is weight!"
"Third Raikage, you should know this deeply, shouldn't you?"
Yagyu spoke casually. The Third Raikage's fighting style bore great similarities to his own.
Yagyu's Light Speed Kick relies on speed to enhance power, and the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode does the same.
In the original work, the Fourth Raikage once competed against Tsunade using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and ultimately defeated Tsunade's Monstrous Strength Technique with the power enhanced by his speed.
"Converting speed into power, is it?"
The Third Raikage climbed out of the ruins, with even more dazzling lightning erupting from his body, and let out a low roar.
"Then let's see whose speed is stronger, yours or mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Raikage's body turned into a blue lightning bolt.
He extended two fingers and aimed them at Yagyu, charging menacingly towards him.
To ordinary people, the Third Raikage at this moment was extremely fast, like a real blue flash of lightning.
But for Yagyu, the Third Raikage's speed was still too slow.
It was just like the plot in One Piece.
The CP9 agents who used the Navy Six Styles—Soru (Shave) had terrifying speed that seemed like lightning to ordinary people.
But to Luffy, who had activated Gear Second, their speed was insufficient.
However, even with Gear Second activated, Luffy's speed was still no match for Kizaru.
"Hell Stab: Two-Finger Nukite!"
"Laser!"
Seeing the Third Raikage rush towards him with two fingers extended, Yagyu also raised one finger, and a golden light bloomed at his fingertip.
A golden laser beam shot out from his fingertip, meeting the Third Raikage's Two-Finger Nukite head-on.
The golden light and the blue lightning continuously canceled each other out, and the Third Raikage's fierce offensive was directly blocked by Yagyu.
"An opening!"
Chiyo's eyes flashed, and she waved her hand, ordering the sealing ninja under her command to act.
Taking advantage of the moment Yagyu was locked in a struggle with the Third Raikage, Chiyo wanted to have him sealed.
The sealing ninja from Sunagakure acted together. Dense, pitch-black patterns spread across the ground, extending towards Yagyu.
"Annoying old hag!"
Yagyu glanced coldly at Chiyo. Golden light erupted from his body, instantaneously turning into countless particles of light that flew in all directions, then condensed into a solid form in mid-air.
"Sunagakure ninja, I'll send you on your way now!"
Yagyu sneered coldly, and in an instant, ten thousand rays of golden light shone from his body.
When the intense light was released, others quickly took out their sunglasses and put them on.
Just as they were pulling out their sunglasses and putting them on, Yagyu transformed into a golden flash and charged into the ranks of the Sunagakure ninja.
The golden Sword of Kusanagi was drawn out, and with a casual swing, thick sword aura roared forth.
The tsunami-like sword aura was unstoppable. These Sunagakure ninja, whose strength was mediocre, simply could not resist.
Whether they were sealing ninja or sensory ninja, their combat strength was not very high. After Yagyu broke through their formation, they were quickly all killed.
"Damn it!"
Chiyo growled with a look of fury. These ninja were the treasure of Sunagakure.
"Yagyu, I will surely make you die without a burial place."
Facing Chiyo's angry roar, Yagyu shrugged uncaringly.
"Oh, how scary!"
"Since you're going to kill me anyway, let me send you on your way first!"
Seeing Chiyo mobilize the Chikamatsu Collection to try and kill him, Yagyu teased her casually, and the light-sword in his hand slashed down without hesitation.
"Earth Release – Earth Flow Rampart!" (Doton – Doryū Jōheki)
Õnoki on the side quickly intervened, releasing an Earth Release Jutsu to protect Chiyo.
A rampart, more solid than an Earth Flow Wall, appeared in front of Chiyo, blocking the powerful sword aura coming her way.
The powerful sword aura ripped through the Earth Flow Rampart and continued its momentum, slamming into Chiyo's Chikamatsu Collection, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
Chiyo managed to block the residual power of the sword aura with the Chikamatsu Collection, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
However, in the very next instant, a golden light flashed above her head.
Yasakani Magatama!
An overwhelming barrage of light projectiles rained down, and in the blink of an eye, they riddled Chiyo's Chikamatsu Collection with holes, finally shattering them completely.
Even if these puppets were made of very special, sturdy materials, they were nothing against the concentrated attack of the Yasakani Magatama.
Puppeteers are not known for their offensive or defensive capabilities; the only things they have to offer are their strange methods and dangerous poisons.
With the Chikamatsu Collection destroyed, the dense light projectiles pierced through Chiyo's body, killing her right there.
"Farewell, Elder Chiyo!"
Yagyu descended from the sky and coldly snorted as he looked at Chiyo.
