Chapter 50: Attack V

Leaving the underground facility, Yujin and Tsunade didn’t have to wait long for their opponent’s arrival.

Wearing a lightning armor, his speed was so great that many inexperienced ninjas wouldn’t even notice his movement, but his opponents didn’t let it go unnoticed.

“Stay where you are, Raikage!”

With Tsunade’s shout, the Raikage finally stopped dozens of meters away from the two, temporarily releasing his lightning armor. He analyzed Tsunade and Yujin for a moment, and then, very quickly, looked at the underground entrance, where there was a large number of ninjas hidden, ready to fight at any moment.

“You must be the Senju princess ... Do you think you can stop me?”

The Third Raikage, known as the most powerful Raikage in history, didn’t seem worried. Thanks to his strategy of freeing Gyuki, he has the advantage. The ninjas protecting the ritual site didn’t have the ability to stop him.

“The question isn’t whether I can or not, but that this is something I have to do.”

Yujin carefully observed the Third Raikage, and noticed one thing immediately.

While it seemed he was casually conversing with Tsunade, he was actually having several thoughts internally; he seemed to be plotting something.

“Haha, I suppose so. I guess I’ll take care of you before going down and ending the ritual.”

With a cold smile, the Raikage again covered himself with his lightning armor, and charged at Tsunade, who even expecting it, was still surprised by the speed.

‘He’s too fast.’

She thought while narrowly dodging the Raikage’s punch, who observed Tsunade’s movement as if he already expected the dodge.

Jumping back and creating distance, Tsunade made some hand gestures, and hit the ground with her hand.

“Summoning Jutsu!”

With a large cloud of smoke, a huge white slug tens of meters tall appeared on the battlefield, surprising Yujin.

“Tsunade-sama, your orders.”

Without taking her eyes off the Raikage, Tsunade gave her chakra to the slug, and said in a firm voice.

“Katsuyu, protect the entrance to the ritual site.”

“Alright.”

Katsuyu, the giant slug, crawled to the indicated location, and her body slowly sank into the entrance, leaving only a part outside, as if she wanted to use her body as a shield so that no one could enter.

The Raikage doesn’t seem to react much to Tsunade’s actions, and simply chose to attack her again. His speed was so fast that even for Tsunade it was difficult to react, causing cold sweat to run down her forehead.

Meanwhile, Yujin silently observed the Raikage’s movement, memorizing each movement, getting used to his speed. He could see that Tsunade wouldn’t last long if he didn’t go help.

In response to the Raikage’s speed, Tsunade began to hit the ground, creating obstacles in the way to decrease, even if just a little, his speed.

With a punch to the ground, a crater formed on the ground, and entire rocks rose up, hindering the Raikage’s path, who had to go around the rocks.

“How long do you think you can do this?”

Before Tsunade could react, the Raikage pointed three fingers in front of himself, and pierced all the rocks in his way, surprising Tsunade who didn’t know the technique.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t dodge, since she had just broken the ground to create obstacles.

Tsunade could feel the Chakra approaching rapidly, and knew that if the attack hit, her head would be pierced, killing her instantly.
