Chapter 262: The Blue Beast of Konoha

Chapter 262: The Blue Beast of Konoha

"There's quite a lot of chakra stored..."

Lu Li said this in a joking tone. He watched Tsunade release the Hundred Healings Technique without interrupting her. He just wanted to say that this ninjutsu was really useless.

Including Jiraiya, if he really came here to kill all the people in Konoha today, the battle should have been over by now.

He just had the chance to chase and kill Jiraiya with one move. Even though Jiraiya's average attributes were very high, his tactics were relatively passive, mostly defensive counterattacks. With his extreme speed and high-powered slashes, he basically couldn't change hands.

The reason why he let Jiraiya go was not because he had a certain liking for this character when reading the comics, but because he wanted to fight with Jiraiya in his peak state to test how far he was from the strength of a super shadow.

Only by defeating Konoha's strongest man head-on can he bring Konoha a deeper sense of despair and oppression, and then the Uchiha clan's next move will be more effective.

As he spoke, he took a few steps and Lu Li's figure suddenly disappeared in the night sky.

With Tsunade's dynamic vision, she couldn't see Lu Li's movements at all, but she felt the fatal crisis.

When she saw the black shadow again in her field of vision, the knife had already arrived, slashing diagonally from top to bottom, directly cutting through her clothes, cutting through the huge protective pad, and spreading a large scarlet arc.

This was the result of her taking a step back based on her fighting instinct at the critical moment. If she hadn't had that reaction, she would probably have been cut in half.

The Hundred Healings Technique was rapidly repairing her body, and the healing had begun almost as soon as the blade had cut through it, but the strange thing was that the wound healed abnormally slowly, which was completely inconsistent with Tsunade's understanding of this technique.

She didn't care about the abnormality in her body and the inexplicable loss of chakra, and punched the black shadow.

The wind from her fist was so fierce that a slight dent appeared in the void, but her full-strength punch did not hit the opponent, but only hit the air, causing a huge gas bomb to explode and hit the ruins opposite.

The punch missed and her body's balance was naturally affected. Tsunade thought to herself that something was wrong, and then she felt a sharp pain in her leg. The tendon in her left leg was cut.

She turned again and tried to elbow her perceived opponent, but again she hit nothing.

Lu Li's figure appeared three meters to the side of Tsunade, like a ghostly phantom turned into reality. When he paused, he didn't even stir up much wind, only his black windbreaker fluttered slightly.

The tip of his demon-imprisoning knife hung toward the ground, and blood flowed and fell drop by drop.

Lu Li can now perform the 'Perfect Flash Step' in a battle without having to use all his strength, but he can only say that this move has almost no practical significance other than showing off.

After all, if he wants to reach the fastest speed, the powerful instant step can bring his speed to the peak.

However, he doesn't need to take Tsunade too seriously. After all, as the granddaughter of the first Hokage... she is too weak.

If she were to face an ordinary ninja, Tsunade would indeed appear very strong due to her extraordinary strength and the regeneration ability of the Hundred Healings Technique.

But for highly mobile and high-attack ninjas, Tsunade is just a punching bag if she can't hit anyone, and can only slowly die as the opponent's chakra is exhausted.

Lu Li cut just enough each time like a blunt knife cutting meat, not giving Tsunade any chance to hit him. He slashed at Tsunade again and again, effectively absorbing her Yin Seal Chakra. He felt like there was a soul among the Soul Eaters shouting with pleasure.

"Kai, go support Lady Tsunade!"

Kakashi on the battlefield observed the battle situation here and gave orders decisively. It was not that he underestimated the three ninjas, but Tsunade had been beaten to the point of having no temper. If she delayed any longer, she might be hacked to death.

Although his Sharingan was taken away from him, his combat power did not decline much. On the contrary, he felt that his chakra amount was significantly increasing in the past few days. Except for the famous ninjutsu such as Raikiri which was not very useful because of his lack of dynamic vision, his strength in other aspects increased instead of decreased.

At this time in the main battlefield, he, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma held back the Fourth Mizukage and adopted a tactic of entanglement. Facing Yagura who was fighting only on instinct and had no tailed beast, they were just able to block his offensive.

As for Hoshigaki Kisame, Kai was originally fighting against him alone, and he was able to gain a clear upper hand, but because the opponent was a reincarnated body of the Impure World Reincarnation, he did not know how to stop him completely for a while.

It's not that Kakashi doesn't want to help Tsunade, but he judged that he would not be a match for a ninja like Zai. To fight against Zai, it is best to be a ninja with strong physical skills, otherwise he will not be able to keep up with Zai's extreme speed, nor can he deal with Zai's powerful swordsmanship.

It's just that ordinary physical ninjas can also be restrained by Lu Li. The name of natural disaster is not in vain. The lightning that lingers all the time is equally deadly to ninjas with physical bodies. Even if they have a strong physique and will not be electrocuted, being electrocuted in close combat is also fatal.

The reason why he gave this task to Kai was not because he wanted to kill his good opponent, but because he believed that Kai's super physique and the powerful explosive chakra of the Eight Gates could form a special energy barrier to dilute the direct impact of thunder on him.

"Don't worry Kakashi, my youth is burning!"

Upon hearing this, Kai gave Kakashi a thumbs up, showing his brilliant white teeth, and rushed to a high place to support Tsunade.

Kisame will be dealt with by the Anbu team that arrived later, and the losses will not be further increased.

At this time, Lu Li, who was fighting with Tsunade and effectively weakening Tsunade's chakra, suddenly jumped back and dodged the roundhouse kick.

"Konoha's great whirlwind!"

After the attack, that hearty and passionate voice finally came.

Kai stood in front of Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, let me help you deal with him."

Lu Li became interested as he looked at the man with thick eyebrows who was wearing a dark green tights and a ninja tactical vest.

To be honest, compared to Tsunade, he felt that the person in front of him could help him absorb more useful things in battle.

It was not a random statement that Lord Kai kicked out the finale with one kick. Even the current Kai definitely had the ability to open the eighth death door. Lu Li felt that he really had to find the right degree.

"Lu Li, do you still remember me? The blue beast of Konoha. Might Guy!" Guy straightened his body and struck an awkward pose with Lu Li, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

From Lu Li's perspective, to be honest, Kai's performance art is quite abstract when viewed visually, but regardless of his overly passionate personality and strange aesthetics, Kai is indeed the strongest invisible person present.

"Kai, get out of the way. I don't want to kill anyone."

Lu Li said coldly that in the setting, he and Kakashi were classmates in the ninja school.

Like Kakashi, he started to be active on the battlefield in his teens. However, Gai did not fight in the Third Ninja World War because he graduated late.

"I don't know the details of why you left the village, but it is wrong for you to attack the village. I will defeat you here!"

Kai said this very passionately, and then waves of chakra mist rose from his body.

He had only opened up to the third gate in his previous battle with Kisame, but now facing Lu Li, he did not dare to hold back.

As early as his student days, he knew how powerful Lu Li and Kakashi were. He hoped to catch up with these two geniuses through hard work. He had already verified Kakashi's strength through sparring, and now he wanted to verify the gap in strength between himself and Tianzai.

This time, it will no longer be a competition.

boom--

There was a sound of chakra gushing out of Kai's body, the veins on his forehead bulged, his muscles and bones were under tremendous pressure, and the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu were opened one after another.

Shang Men...Du Men...Jing Men...Jing Men!
He drove all the way to the seventh shocking gate before stopping, because the surging chakra put a huge burden on his body, his skin turned red, and blue steam wrapped around his whole body.

Lu Li did not launch a strong attack, but just looked at the rising aura and rapidly soaring attributes of Kai, with the light in his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

That's it, this is the kind of opponent he wants to fight!

For a moment, Lu Li forgot about Jiraiya and Tsunade, and the dark red thunder around him converged and returned to his body.

"Lu Li, I'm going to get on!"

Akai was obviously a very martial person. He even greeted Lu Li before making his move, leaving Tsunade, who had just adjusted herself behind him, speechless.

"Let's do it together!"

Tsunade exhaled loudly, trying to regain the ground she had just lost.

However, Kaiko had no intention of waiting for her. When he moved, the ruins beneath him exploded. The earth-shaking sound was as if the tailed beast had stomped on the ground.

Kai didn't use any special footwork, but in an instant he reached a speed that even Lu Li was amazed at.

I can only say that there are no techniques, it’s all numbers.

boom--

Kai kicked out at high speed, and the high-pressure air was kicked out by him, wrapping around his legs like a barrier, so that before his foot actually landed on Lu Li, the attack had already arrived.

Lu Li slashed out with the Demon Prisoner, and the sharp blade energy split the high-pressure gale caused by Kai, colliding with Kai's special boots, making a sound of metal clashing.

A powerful impact came from Kai's kick, and even with Lu Li's ability to absorb force, he was forced to retreat, smashing three rows of houses before stopping.

He felt his wrist tingling slightly and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Kai, your taijutsu is well-deserved."

Kai did not stop attacking because of Lu Li's praise. He believed that the best respect for this target who had betrayed Konoha and whom he had once pursued was to defeat him with all his strength.

Because he was facing an opponent with a knife, Kai did not take off his secret steel boots and gauntlets. When he released the seventh gate of the Eight Gates, the impact of the weight of these things was almost non-existent, and they could instead become good protective gear.

The attack failed, and Kai was surrounded by pale blue mist, and pounced towards Lu Li like a tiger.

At extremely high speed, coupled with the powerful chakra surge of the Eight Gates, Kai made a piercing sonic boom as he rushed through the street. The suction force brought by the huge gale directly shattered the window glass on the street.

Wherever it passed, strong winds swept like a dragon, and the blue beast was as fierce as a tiger, and it punched forward again.

boom--

Like the roar of a cannon, the blue-green mist wrapped around his hands. The huge force brought by the high speed condensed the air into a huge cannonball, propelling it in the direction of Lu Li.

The force of this punch was so powerful that even Futianmo, who was nearby, was frightened so much that he broke out in cold sweats and wanted to flee the battlefield.

Facing Kai's attack, Lu Li did not retreat. He slashed with his sword, cutting through the invisible force in the atmosphere and shattering most of Kai's offensive. However, the strong wind pressure still blew him backwards, leaving long marks on the ground with his feet.

Because his Thunder God Fruit bloodline level is only level 2, it is useful against light soldiers, but it is not so effective against a being like Gai who has opened the seventh gate and spurted out chakra like a tailed beast coat, so he did not try to attack Gai with lightning.

At the same time, it was also because he wanted to fight Kai with pure "physical skills" to experience the pinnacle of physical skills in the Naruto world, and did not want to use fancy skills to interfere with his combat experience.

With a fanatical fighting spirit on his face, Lu Li rushed towards the high-pressure gale created by Kai's fist. The purple mist that imprisoned the demon was blown away behind him and turned into thin silk-like ribbons. The mist spread in front of him, and his figure was like a devil rushing out of purgatory!
