"Alright, alright…"
"Tsunade, you're right. Since no one can observe what's happening in the Kamui dimension, I won't hold back either."
"I also want to see… the gap between us now."
Gojo Kaigetsu removed his black blindfold, his brilliant Six Eyes fixated on Tsunade. His expression became serious.
"Is that your ability? A Kekkei Genkai?" Tsunade paused, her gaze drawn to those beautiful eyes.
These eyes… they weren't recorded in the history of the ninja world.
Even the Senju clan's records contained no information about them.
"Heh, you can say that. It's normal that there are no records. This is a Kekkei Genkai that only belongs to me—the Six Eyes."
"I see."
Tsunade understood.
Gojo Kaigetsu was an immigrant from the Land of Flowers, and his parents were ordinary people who died in the war. This was something she knew. The Land of Flowers was a small country, and even the Senju Clan's understanding of it was limited.
There were many such strange Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world. Everything was predestined.
Since he had awakened his own Kekkei Genkai without ninja parents, it seemed that her beloved man was also a child of destiny blessed by the ninja world.
"Then let me see what those eyes of yours are capable of!"
The battle was about to begin!
"Slash!"
<"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!">
As Tsunade swung the sickle.
The white light of the Six Eyes shone, and an invisible repulsive force erupted, deflecting the oncoming sickle. Even the Susanoo's body was forced back several meters, but that was it. It didn't get blown away and incapacitated.
"Phew—" Gojo Kaigetsu wiped away his cold sweat.
The [Red], fully activated by the Six Eyes, could only achieve this level.
Unlike the Rinnegan, which could use repulsive force as a construction tool, the attraction and repulsion mastered by Gojo Kaigetsu were more of a means of auxiliary combat.
He could also achieve short-term, short-distance levitation, but to ascend to the sky like the Deva Path, attract the Nine-Tails with gravity, and create a basin with repulsion, he definitely couldn't do it.
Fortunately, the cooldown of [Blue] and [Red] was short enough. As long as the chakra was sufficient, it could almost be released without interruption.
"This is—repulsive force? Interesting." Tsunade quickly adjusted her posture and swung the sickle towards Gojo Kaigetsu again. Knowing Gojo Kaigetsu's ability, Tsunade no longer held back, unleashing the full power of the Susanoo.
She also wanted to see how far she could go using the power of her grandfather's best friend.
Gojo Kaigetsu stood in place, assuming a fighting stance. He didn't use [Red] to repel the Susanoo again. Instead, he activated [Blue] to shorten the distance between himself and the Susanoo, and at the same time, raised his elbow—
<"Dead Star—Black Flash!">
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
A piercing sonic boom reverberated through the [Kamui] dimension.
The black flash was fleeting. By the time Tsunade reacted, the elbow strike had already slammed into the Susanoo's chest.
Instantly, centered on the point of contact between the elbow strike and the Susanoo, the [Kamui] space within a radius of more than hundred meters was immediately subjected to a strong earthquake-like tremor, either bulging or cracking, making it difficult to stand.
If this had been the first form of Susanoo, the skeletal frame, that sudden, powerful blow might have sent Tsunade flying out of the Susanoo.
"..."
Tsunade's eyes grew brighter.
Her original intention in having a ninja fight with Gojo Kaigetsu was to teach him a lesson.
All of Konoha was her family. There was no need to risk going to a place like Sunagakure without even bringing guards.
Judging from the two moves Gojo Kaigetsu had just revealed—he had the confidence not to bring guards with him when he went out.
Attraction and Repulsion that could control Susanoo, an elbow strike that could make cracks appear on the surface armor of Susanoo—This guy was very strong.
But if that was all… it wasn't enough to protect himself in today's dangerous ninja world!
Tsunade slapped Gojo Kaigetsu away with one palm and was about to start the second round.
"Susanoo is indeed… too tough." Gojo Kaigetsu muttered, taking a step back to create a safe distance.
Seeing the Susanoo's sickle swinging towards him again, he didn't hesitate, clapping his hands together:
<"Kai!">
With a low chant, an invisible spatial slash struck the Susanoo's sickle.
Clang! Clang!
Even though there was nothing in front of the Susanoo's sickle, sharp metallic clanging sounds echoed through the air.
The slash was invisible to the naked eye. Only ninja with extensive combat experience, or those with the Sharingan or Byakugan, could perceive the fluctuations.
Tsunade's expression grew increasingly surprised.
So, this wasn't her attacking Gojo Kaigetsu, but her swinging the Susanoo's sickle to resist Gojo Kaigetsu's spatial slashes.
This was the [Six Eyes]' ability?
It was truly astonishing. If the power was a little greater and the speed a little faster, she might have been injured if she wasn't careful.
Even… the possibility of being bisected!
The terrifying aspect of Kai's spatial slash was that it was invisible to the naked eye. Its effect against powerful opponents might be limited, but if it was used in a ninja war, targeting ordinary Chunin and Genin, it would truly be one slash, one kill.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!
After deflecting the last spatial slash, the blade of the Susanoo's sickle also showed damage.
Gojo Kaigetsu released his hands, inevitably beginning to pant.
Although it was a battle between ninja, the entire process didn't involve any conventional ninjutsu.
No Fire Style, no Earth Style, no Wind Style, no Water Style, no Lightning Style… There wasn't even a decent, standard hand seal from Konoha's ninja academy textbooks.
Both of them clapped their hands, and whatever they called out, whatever they wanted, came, and they engaged in a fierce ninjutsu battle!
If Orochimaru and the Third Hokage ninjutsu duel involved both sides following the hand seals and the turn-based ninjutsu mechanism, then the battle between Gojo Kaigetsu and Tsunade was a pure clash of stats.
There was no need for complicated hand seals, just pure, unadulterated power.
Compared to traditional ninja techniques, the Jujutsu-style techniques consumed even more chakra. After a few spatial slashes, he had almost exhausted the remaining chakra in his body. He could only stop and wait for Mahoraga acting as his battery to quickly recharge him.
Fortunately, Tsunade wasn't completely insane.
The purpose of testing Gojo Kaigetsu had been achieved, and she had also roughly figured out the extent of her abilities with Susanoo. Tsunade naturally dispelled the Susanoo, quickly withdrawing the Azure chakra back into her body.
