Chapter 153: Encounter with the Legendary Sannin (2)
🕑 Added 2021-10-07 09:47:37 +0000 UTC"Your mother ... I went too far!" Now I am not her rival. You can't lose, after my insolent words I can only throw her down and show my strength "- with a decisive gleam in his eyes, Shikamaru growled and his hair shot up sharply. Muscles swelled, veins swelled, and a green aura covered the body. Five of the eight gates have opened in sequence! Following this, Shikamaru folded a series of seals, and then his entire body was covered with bone armor, even a pair of gray bone horns grew on his head. Razor-spiked bracers and a one-piece chestpiece, complete with oversized leggings.
At the same moment, Tsunade almost approached Shikamaru. On her way, the earth just flew into the air with her insane rage in the company of terrifying power. The girl rushed at the enemy, completely oblivious to anything around. One could only imagine all the anger and resentment burning in her body. Even Shikamaru marveled at the woman's madness. To be her enemy is dearer to himself ... Therefore, he decided to play it safe and used his last resort in strengthening his own taijutsu. He hesitated for a second, but once again making out the rapidly approaching silhouette of the kunoichi, he nevertheless nodded resolutely and quickly folded a row of seals.
- Titanium armor! - instantly, the ground underfoot began to vibrate, and then a whole wave of liquid metal flew out of it. Even Tsunade, rushing at full speed towards Shikamaru, was momentarily amazed at what had happened. Further, all the metal was covered with the guy's bone breastplate and bracers. It did not cover all the armor, but only the most important parts.
All of this happened in just a matter of seconds when Tsunade finally appeared right in front of him. Although she was surprised by everything that happened, it did not stop her. She was still ruthless! Shikamaru responded to the attack again, only now the severity of his blow was unimaginable!
Another explosion lifted the nearest stone columns into the air, but two of them continued to stand still. For a short while, Tsunade was immediately thrown back and then Shikamaru moved towards her. The recoil of the blow didn’t hurt him little, but he wasn’t going to let this woman do what she wanted! This was the first time he was able to deflect her blow, and for the first time he noticed such a shocked expression on her face. Few in the world were able to respond to Tsunade Senju's attack, and even surpass her in it. Although Shikamaru used many of his abilities at once, he was still able to surpass her!
Tsunade was thrown only ten meters away, and after that, Shikamaru, in his impressive armor, was immediately in front of the girl. All the thorns on his right fist had already disappeared, and the titanium and bones were cracked, so he stabbed with the left! At the same time, Tsunade pushed her hand sharply off the ground and her fist rushed towards the enemy again. Another explosion seemed even more grandiose, and then with a painful cry, Tsunade was thrown even further away. Only now, and Shikamaru moved back a little, and then all the bones on his hand crumbled into dust.
“Amazing ... Without armor, I could have survived at most a dozen such collisions, and then I would have turned into a chop. Only in speed I clearly surpassed it, but opening the sixth gate is still a risk, I have not really mastered it. If I had their strength and I could try. Metal is generally a stupid idea, I only made myself worse. I wonder if Gai-sensei from the Seventh Gate could bring her down? I think I could, but with the sixth ... She doesn't even use her sealed chakra and invocation. Strong ... ”- After quickly analyzing the situation, Shikamaru refused to use the armor. As it turns out, bones and metal don't go together as it might seem. Rather, they only constrain movement. It looks impressive, but useless in battle. In addition, due to the opening of the gates, using Ninjutsu is an order of magnitude more difficult, especially in terms of control. So there was no question of adamantium, the cover had to be created up to the Eight Gates.
“It’s worth coming up with something more useful ... Now it’s clear why Kaguya didn’t use armor made of bones, there’s not much sense in them, even with my protection. Hmm, I could use poisonous metals against her ... but this is too much, and I myself am not protected from it "- Shikamaru slowly raised his slightly trembling hand. Regeneration restored everything instantly. As a result, for this fight, he understood the basis - Tsunade is very strong, her fists charged with chakra can break whole rocks, and even bones. Its strength even from stories is not the same as in deeds. Its problem is in character, and from physical qualities - in speed. A more or less ordinary Jinin can compete with her in this, so Shikamaru could easily stretch the fight using Gentle Fist. The only problem is that he does not own it ... And maybe she knows the opposition, a medic after all. Using taijutsu with bones is also a risky business. Although ... Shikamaru suddenly dawned on him!
"Blood! How could I forget that fight with Kabuto ... ”Shikamaru's lips immediately stretched into a sneaky grin. Before that, he really did not plan to defeat Tsunade, but now ...
Of course, he did not immediately resort to this method. Now he still wanted to try to win on his own. Thanks to the speed of the gate, he could easily bypass any blow to Senju, and then block all her tankers using the Byakugan. Without the Hyuuga style, it would be a little more difficult, but not impossible ... Even now, he could clearly see the movement of chakra in the kunoichi's body. In fact, it may not be so difficult to win if you know the right approach. Tsunade may be strong, but she is clearly not the strongest among the three Sannin, especially now due to her phobia. With her strength and regeneration, she can compare with the Kage, but in the end ... Even Kabuto almost won not so much because of his superpowers, but because of the masterful skills of Iryoninjutsu and understanding of Tsunade's weakness. In addition to the Byakugan, he also wields the Hyuuga Style, it is difficult to imagine how the battle would turn.
Of course, Shikamaru did not forget about the skills of the princess herself, it may well be that she will now become more serious. In general, it happened ...
