Chapter 562: When a Genjutsu Ninja Meets the Sun Punch...
Chapter 562: When a Genjutsu Ninja Meets the Sun Punch...
A massive ground fissure disrupted Night City's offensive rhythm, and in that moment of instability, Tsunade instantly teleported in front of Night City and unleashed another powerful punch.
This Brutal Fist utilized nearly eighty percent of her strength, as she now understood that her disciple had grown into a monster over the past few years.
Holding back any further would mean her own defeat.
Chakra concentrated at a single point, becoming so dense it almost materialized, and covered Tsunade's fist.
When Tsunade threw this punch, it created a sonic boom in the air, and the surrounding ground and walls, fragile as if made of blocks, were instantly shattered and collapsed by the fist's impact.
However, as this incredibly powerful punch struck Night City, Tsunade witnessed a shocking scene.
Her Brutal Fist, along with her body, passed right through Night City's body upon contact.
"Boom——————!"
Tsunade's missed punch struck the ground, causing it to shatter and create a hundred-meter-wide crater. The entire hot springs hotel collapsed by more than half.
But none of this mattered now. What was important was that Tsunade, seeing Night City's slowly dissipating afterimage behind her, couldn't even understand what had just happened!
Night City had been right in front of her, but her punch had missed... no, it had passed right through his body.
This wasn't a Substitution Jutsu or Instant Teleportation, and Tsunade had even sensed the use of chakra. But what did it all mean?
"A capability similar to an illusion, but not a ninjutsu or genjutsu? When did that Night City kid master such a technique?
If the body just now was fake, then the real body must be... in the air!"
As an experienced ninja, even after missing her punch, Tsunade instantly analyzed the technique Night City had used. She then used her chakra sensing ability to locate Night City's real body in the air.
Tsunade wasn't a sensing-type ninja, but as a medical ninja, her chakra sensing ability was sharper than most.
Having missed with her punch, Tsunade, a taijutsu ninja, had exposed a huge weakness. She didn't believe Night City would let this opportunity pass.
And sensing Night City's chakra, she indeed saw him descending in the air.
"Night City, this time I win. With no ground to stand on, how will you withstand my full-power punch?"
Tsunade had to admit that Night City's combat strategy was excellent. He had used an illusion-like power to create an opening, then launched an unexpected counterattack from the air.
But this strategy also had a significant drawback: if the enemy discovered it beforehand, the one at a disadvantage would be Night City.
Just like the current situation, Night City, suspended in the air, had almost nowhere to hide. Facing a punch with more chakra and strength than he possessed, what could Senju Night City do to evade it?
This victory was a result of Tsunade's superior combat experience, proving that Night City was still too inexperienced in her eyes.
"Indeed, the outcome is clear, but the winner isn't you, Teacher Tsunade, but me, Senju Night City!
You've just witnessed my afterimage punch, so now let me show you another interesting martial art."
"Eat my move, the Sun Punch!"
Yecheng placed his hands on his temples twice, and his body suddenly erupted with a blinding white light, like an oversized lightbulb in mid-air.
Tsunade, who had been looking up to lock onto Yecheng's falling position, was also directly affected by the blinding light, forcing her to cover her eyes in pain.
To be honest, the Sun Punch is quite effective, especially in the Shinobi World where Genjutsu Ninjas are as common as dogs.
When the opponent uses the Mangekyo Sharingan, we can counter with the Sun Punch to blind their titanium dog eyes. How dare you resist?
Tsunade covered her eyes, and at this moment, she appeared as helpless as a naked lamb to Yecheng. Just as Yecheng was about to decide the outcome, a thick, corrosive acid suddenly sprayed towards Yecheng's position from not too far away, without any warning.
Undoubtedly, the attacker... or rather, the spitter, could only be the Slug, and no other creature.
After being summoned by Tsunade, the Slug had been standing by, unable to intervene in the intense battle between Yecheng and Tsunade. Its role was limited to evacuating and treating those affected by the battle.
But just after Yecheng used the Sun Punch, the Slug's moment to shine finally arrived.
As everyone knows, Slugs rely on their eyes to perceive things... or rather, it's uncertain if they even have eyes.
In other words, Yecheng's Sun Punch might have affected Tsunade's vision, but it had no effect on the Slug.
Yecheng, suspended in mid-air, was now enveloped in a mouthful of thick mucus. The Slug thought that the battle was finally over.
After all, although the Slug's offensive abilities were limited, its corrosive acid could instantly dissolve even stones!
Facing the Slug's acid, Yecheng could defend himself with Ninjutsu, but by then, Tsunade's vision would have recovered, and she could deliver the final blow.
However, what the Slug and Tsunade never expected was that Yecheng, who they thought had no choice but to defend himself with Ninjutsu in mid-air, suddenly halted his body in the next second!
Even when faced with the Slug's spraying acid, Yecheng's body erupted with a white Chakra flame, followed by a graceful mid-air turn. He not only dodged the Slug's acid but also accelerated towards Tsunade, whose vision was temporarily impaired.
The Slug's massive body split, attempting to stop Yecheng, but with its slow movement, it couldn't catch up with Yecheng's high-speed flight.
In the blink of an eye, Yecheng, flashing rapidly in mid-air, appeared before Tsunade.
He extended a palm, forming a Chakra Scalpel at Tsunade's neck, and said, "Tsunade-sensei, the battle is over. It seems I've won by a stroke of luck this time."
Tsunade, whose vision was gradually recovering, opened her slightly red eyes and said with a complex expression, "I didn't expect you to have learned the Third Tsuchikage's signature Ninjutsu from Iwagakure."
Flight is an extremely rare ability in the Shinobi World, and the most famous practitioner is undoubtedly the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, with his "Light and Heavy Rock Technique."
"My flying technique is not Onoki's Light and Heavy Rock Technique, but a skill called Levitation Technique.
If Tsunade-sensei is interested, I can teach you."
