Ah…
However, the anticipated pain didn't arrive. An orange cloak of chakra blocked the attack.
Jiraiya slowly opens his eyes and notices the chakra cloak.
"Hmm… looks like Naruto has become more outstanding. Hehe… Of course, he would take after me, his godfather!"
The orange chakra cloaks turn faint after blocking the attack. However, it brought enough time for Jiraiya.
"Sennin Mode,"
Several red lines appear on Jiraiya's face. A red chakra cloak with black flames with red chakra flames shrouds his body.
Boom…
The nature energy around his body releases a shockwave and repels Han's attack.
Jiraiya clenches his fist and glances at Han.Shoom…
The next second, he vanishes and reappears behind Han.
Swoosh…
Han also swiftly turns around and directs a punch toward Jiraiya.
<Boil Release: Steam Tyranny>
Bang…
Both of their fists connect.
Rumble… rumble…
The ground beneath their feet instantly shatters into several small rock fragments. A massive crater forms with them as the center.
"Frog Kata,"
In the next second, nature energy covers Jiraiya's fist and raises his physical strength by another fold.
Boom…
Jiraiya overpowers the version 2 cloak Han in physical strength. His punch shatters Han's chakra-cloaked arm and strikes him directly in the face.
Bang…
Han is sent flying by the tremendous force behind Jiraiya's attack.
Bang… bang… bang…
He smashes through the ground, destroying several rocks, trees, and boulders along the way. Han's body travels almost half a kilometer before he forcefully stops himself by plunging all his tails into the ground.
Smoke rises from Jiraiya's hand.
"It still hurts a lot."
Jiraiya waves his hand in pain. Han's boil release chakra managed to penetrate the protective layer of nature energy around his hand and hurt him.
Back at the HQ,
The eyes of everyone widen in surprise. Even Kushina is flabbergasted by Jiraiya's new look and strength.
"So, in the end, Jiraiya-Sensei managed to master the Sennin mode. Not only that, it's even the Version 2 form. Jiraiya Sensei really is a genius." Kushina nods in praise.
"Kushina, how's the situation on the battlefield?" Suddenly, Tsunade's voice echoes in Kushina's head.
"Tsunade Nee-san!" Kushina asks in surprise.
"How are you? I didn't hear from you before. We even tried to contact you, but could not manage to contact you." Kushina enquires with slight worry.
"Perhaps it was because of the Four Violet Flame Formation." Tsunade recounts her experience with Dan.
"So, that's how it was. No wonder we couldn't contact you. That barrier isolates the trapped person from the outside world."
"So, Tsunade Nee-san, how are you feeling now?"
"I was never feeling any better." Tsunade glances at her smooth young skin.
Dan's secret technique not only activated her bloodline potential, it even reverted her age by a few decades. Her current real look is that of a young woman in her mid-twenties.
Tsunade clenches her fist as he feels the overwhelming strength flowing through her body.
"So, what's the situation on the battlefield?" She enquires again.
Kushina swiftly explains the happenings of day four to the Tsunade.
"Madara Uchiha! So, he really is back." Tsunade narrows her eyes.
The Edo-Tensei is released, and they have dealt with Kabuto.
"So, Naruto, Mei, and Jiraiya are still fighting against the Obito and the six-tailed beast." After confirming the position of the battlefield, Tsunade flickers towards them.
While moving toward the battlefield, Tsunade also contacts the headquarter with Kushina's help. She assures Shikaku and others and even praises his decision to change the battle plan.
---------
Meanwhile, at some distance from the tailed beast battlefield,
Fwish…
A white hand pops out of the ground.
Ugh…
"My head hurts like hell!"
A masked white figure suddenly crawls out of the ground.
Swoosh…
He flexes his body and stands on all four.
"I thought I was a goner there! I didn't expect to see a massive meteor drop on top of me out of nowhere. That meteor almost crushed me to a pulp, if not for my quick action. Still, it took me a while to dig myself out of that situation. Also, those two women were too brutal for ganging up on me like that."
Zetsu Tobi cracks his neck and glances toward the battlefield.
"So, someone is still fighting over there, and from the feel of this chakra, it must be that Obito."
Tobi Zetsu takes unhurried footsteps toward the battlefield.
'I guess I will help him with the objective or else Madara-sama will be angry when he comes back to life.'
Swoosh…
Suddenly, a flying kick attacks him out of nowhere.
"What the…?"
Tobi Zetsu swiftly curls his back and tilts his body sideways to dodge the attack.
A figure swiftly flies over his body.
Bang…
The figure's kick lands on an enormous boulder and crushes it to powder.
Tobi also tumbles across the ground and falls flat.
"Huh!"
Tsunade is surprised to see her attack fail. She swiftly turns around and glances at the white zetsu in front of her.
Earlier, while she was moving towards the battlefield to provide reinforcement, she noticed this lone white Zetsu walking towards the battlefield. So, she thought of taking him down before moving forward. However, she didn't expect the latter to dodge his attacks.
"Who are you?" Tsunade takes a combat stance and glances at Tobi.
She recognizes the swirl pattern on the white mask. However, Obito, the former Tobi, is fighting against Naruto and the rest. So, who could be this new Tobi, she wonders?
"Lady Tsunade, he is the new Tobi!" Inoichi's voice sounds in her mind.
"New Tobi?!" Tsunade frowns and takes her opponent seriously as Inoichi relays the important information about the latter's abilities.
"What?! He can use the Wood Release." Tsunade gasps in shock.
The wood release is the extremely rare Kekkei Genkai of the Senju clan. And throughout the thousand years of history of the Senju clan, the user of the wood release amount to only a few. She could even count their numbers on her fingers.
Currently, except for Izuna and Yamato, there is no other user of the wood release. Also, both of them are exceptions. Yamato gained wood release through Hashirama Cells and as for Izuna, he discovered and mastered it on his own. So, it's an acquired Kekkei Genkai for both of them.
And now, there is someone else beside them who can use the wood release.
Whoosh…
Both Tobi and Tsunade jump back to retreat further from their opponent. They cautiously stare at the enemy in front of them.
While Tsunade is attempting to figure out Tobi's identity. Tobi also glances at Tsunade in a slight panic.
'I didn't expect to meet the Hokage at such a time and place.' However, the next second, the panic in his eyes disappears.
'Kuku… I will use the technique of her grandfather to deal with her.'
Swish… swish…
Tobi immediately makes a series of hand signs. Tsunade also follows his movements and makes hand signs of her own.
"Wood Release: Great Tree Spear,"
Tobi creates a massive tree with several leaves and bushes in his hands. The tip of the tree has a pointy spike, and it flies toward Tsunade at an extreme speed.
Haah…
Tsunade also clenches her fists together after completing the necessary hand signs.
Rumble… rumble…
The ground in front of her trembles and a massive wooden dome covers her body.
Bang…
The wood spear strikes the wooden dome and breaks a few layers of the wooden defense. It finally loses its momentum and falls to the ground, unable to penetrate the thick wood dome.
"WHAT?!"
Tobi's voice cracks by several notches. Even the eyes of all shinobis in headquarter almost pop out of their eye socket.
"Tsunade Nee-san!"
Kushina almost jumps out of her seat in fright and excitement.
Clump… clump…
The wooden dome partitions to reveal Tsunade.
"You aren't the only one who can use the wood release." She calmly replies, while casting a deadly gaze on Tobi.
Sweat trickles down Tobi's body at the sight of her icy gaze.
Swish… swish…
Tsunade swiftly makes a series of hand signs and aims her palm toward Tobi.
"Wood Release: Charging Wooden Lance,"
Tsunade fires a long, sturdy stake toward Tobi. The wooden lance suddenly accelerates and strikes Tobi's body.
Stab…
It pierces through Tobi's body and extends out of his back.
HAAH…
Tsunade claps her palm and several splinters grow from the wooden lance. Tobi grabs the wooden lance with a pale face.
The next second, his body turns into a wood clone and falls to the ground, turning into a small sapling.
Fwoosh…
Tobi silently appears behind Tsunade with a pointed wooden splinter in his hand.
Swish…
He aims it at Tsunade's neck.
HAAH…
