Naruto Time Control

Chapter 122: The Amazing Power of Yeruashi

"The Third Raikage really is dead..."

Tsunade looked at the body of the Third Raikage lying on the ground. Feeling the disappearance of chakra in the Third Raikage's body, she couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that the strongest Raikage in history would die this way....

Judging by the power of this attack of Yeruashi, it seems that it is already at the level of a Super S rank Jutsu, when facing such a terrifying Jutsu, if it can't be dodged, even with the support of Byakug no In, it will certainly be waiting for death.

"Yeruashi!!!"

Slightly recovered from the shock, Tsunade shouted worriedly and ran towards Yeruashi.

The silver light that had previously enveloped Yeruashi's figure disappeared, and her body visibly trembled, but the Kusanagi sword did not fall from her hand.

Hearing Tsunade's shout, Yeruashi turned his head and smiled, saying, "It's okay, Tsunade-sensei... it's just excessive chakra consumption."

Although Tsunade had some knowledge of Yeruashi's condition through Katsuyu, she still didn't listen to him and put her hand on his shoulder, letting out a stream of chakra to check her disciple's physical condition.

Indeed, there were signs of excessive chakra consumption.

In addition, there were some symptoms of severe body overload, but that's all, there were no serious injuries, compared to the previous time, the difference in the severity of the side effects after the use of the forbidden Jutsu are worlds apart.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and looked hesitantly at Yeruashi, "How..."

"Hehe, who said I've been relaxing for the past month, sensei?"

Yeruashi smiled and said, "I developed a Jutsu that allows the body to return to the pre-damage condition."

Tsunade was surprised, "This technique was created by combining the techniques of Byakug no In and Orochimaru? It's not like you used Byakug no In."

"It really isn't Byakug no In."

Yeruashi nodded softly and said, "But it's not that important, what's more important is that I finally perfected my skills and I have practically no flaws."

Tsunade couldn't help but exhale as she looked at Yeruashi, who still had a hint of youth in her appearance and whose appearance doesn't exceed fifteen years at most.

She knew exactly what this represented.

A ninja tirelessly improves his skills to become first Genin, then Chuunin and finally Jounin.

If the ninja was able to reach the level of a Jounin, it meant that he found a suitable route and had run a certain distance along that path.

But.

As for further advancement and going beyond the limits of this path, often the ninja's advanced techniques are imperfect and have various flaws.

This imperfection in no way indicates the lack of talent of a particular ninja, but simply confirms the fact that the existence of a ninja who is good at everything is almost impossible, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, the only difference is how effectively a ninja hides his weaknesses and strengthens them.

Consider a simple example.

At her current level, no matter what type of opponent stands in the way, be it a ninja specializing in speed, ninjutsu or genjutsu, Tsunade will be able to defeat any of them.

This is based on a combination of several factors at once, such as experience, improving her skills, understanding the situation, etc.

Compared to this.

A Jounin like Shinku Yuhi, who specializes in genjutsu and perception, will find himself in a difficult situation when clashing with a ninja who specializes in speed if he does not have time to apply genjutsu in advance.

If Shinku increases her chakra volume and develops genjutsu to a higher level, comparable to Sharingan users, who do not need to bend seals and only need eye contact to apply genjutsu, she will be able to deal with ninja specializing in speed without problems, this is what is called improving her weaknesses.

Whether it was her, Orochimaru or Jiraiya, they all tirelessly developed their skills this way. Almost every ninja who has received recognition in the ninja world has gone through this stage.

This is an extremely difficult step.

In which countless ninjas are trapped.

There are many strong Jounins who can resist to some extent, relying on a powerful forbidden technique, but almost none of them can improve their skills, overcome their weaknesses and reach a new level.

Although Yeruashi had previously killed Chiyo, he could only be considered a strong Jounin who had mastered a powerful forbidden technique and was able to suppress ninjas like Chiyo. He was not a ninja who had gone through the stage of improving his skills.

But the current Yeruashi is completely different.

He overcame the side effects of the Hachimon Tonko Thunder mode and possesses the Kusanagi sword, in addition to mastering the Hatake Kenjutsu inherited from his father to the highest level... adding all this up, he can legitimately be considered a ninja who has improved his skills and overcome his weaknesses.

Any ninja, who goes through this stage, will become much stronger. How much stronger exactly? It depends on the specific situation.

Having mastered Byakug no In, Tsunade became much stronger and can deal with any opponent below Kage level, but when she faced tailed beasts like Hachibi, she was practically powerless.

Jiraiya boasted to her that Minato had reached a very high level by improving his skills and that there weren't many people in the ninja world who could handle him now.

Minato's achievements on the battlefield confirmed it.

Yeruashi just achieved the same thing.

After successfully improving his skills, he surpassed countless ninja, reaching the level of "The Five Kages"!

"To reach this level at the age of eleven, you really are... a monster."

Initially, Tsunade meant to say "genius", but at the last moment she realized that this characteristic is no longer suitable to describe Yeruashi, this brat is just a monster!

At the time of the Second Ninja World War, the ninjas, out of their trio, only Orochimaru could barely improve his skills, and at that time they were all over twenty years old!

"What kind of assessment is this, Sensei?"

Yeruashi rolled his eyes.

Tsunade examined Yeruashi, took off her green cloak and threw it at him, saying, "Get dressed, brat..."

In the previous battle, Yeruashi's clothes were badly damaged by the lightning arcs and now barely covered some "important" areas.

Accepting Tsunade's jacket, Yeruashi wrapped it gently around her body.

It seems that the law of indestructible clothing doesn't apply to him, after opening the fifth door, Yeruashi had a hard time keeping the clothes from being destroyed.

But still, with only unsightly rags on him, maybe it's worth finding clothes that won't destroy by Lightning attribute chakra so easily?
