Chapter 237
"So strong!"
Looking at the monster opposite, who was about two meters tall and looked like a standing human-shaped lion, he gasped.
If Itachi hadn't pulled him back with a steel cable just now, he would have been seriously injured by the opponent.
With Tsunade watching over him, there was no need to worry about any life-threatening danger. Even if his body was torn in half, as long as his heart and head were not damaged, Tsunade would be able to heal him quickly.
In the words of her teacher, Lu Nie, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu has gone beyond the realm of ninjutsu and reached a level close to fairy arts. And the Yang attribute chakra in her body has also evolved and transformed again and again, approaching the ultimate Yang power.
From her own physical examination data, Tsunade has discovered that her body has begun to resemble that of her grandfather, the First Generation.
The cell tissue became extremely active, and even after being separated from her body, it still retained strong activity and corrosiveness.
But unlike the Wood Release represented by the first generation's cell activity, Tsunade's cell activity only displays pure restorative power.
If she goes one step further, Tsunade's physical fitness might be comparable to that of the first generation who entered the Sage Mode.
Chakra that is as huge as that of the tailed beasts, a nearly immortal physique, incredible strength, and the ability to heal any injured person.
By then, most ninjutsu, even high-risk ones, would have difficulty hurting her even if she didn't take any precautions.
Because the damage caused by some ninjutsu to her body might not be as fast as her body's automatic healing. Apart from some pain, there was no harm to Tsunade.
This kind of strong physical fitness that is almost immortal is what Orochimaru once dreamed of. Although he has higher aspirations now, after seeing Tsunade's latest physical data, he still feels adversity and is eager to make a move.
In his opinion, Tsunade's body cells are almost comparable to the first generation's Wood Release Cells. As someone who was extremely obsessed with the first generation cells and has been immersed in research for many years, it is difficult for him to ignore the changes in Tsunade.
Of course, this does not mean that Orochimaru, who became Hokage, had any bad thoughts about Tsunade. He just thought that Tsunade's body cells could play an unknown role in his final research.
Tsunade has agreed to his request and cut off a part of her own flesh and blood for Orochimaru to study.
Tsunade was also somewhat puzzled by her own condition. The ultimate combat form that she had once constructed with Yin Seal, Creation Regeneration, and the Hundred Healings Technique, had now become a permanent state under the stimulation of the Hougyoku's evolution.
This also resulted in the three forbidden techniques, Yin Seal, Creation Regeneration and Hundred Healing Techniques, being almost useless to her.
She no longer needs to rely on the Yin Seal to store her chakra to cope with the problem of insufficient chakra in intense and protracted battles, nor does she need to create regeneration to heal and make up for the damage to her body.
Only the Hundred Healings Technique, which plays a connecting role, can still have some amplifying effect on her when she uses ninjutsu and super strength, although the amplification is very weak.
So after getting familiar with his current physical condition, Tsunade had to reconsider, reconstruct and create his own combat ninjutsu. Just like Orochimaru, he has improved and sublimated the forbidden technique he created, and under the power of the Hogyoku, it has become more bizarre and powerful.
The same is true for Tsunade, but she is still a little confused about her own combat system and doesn't know how to start.
Because she seemed to have already used everything she was good at to the extreme, she could not go any further. Without any clue, Tsunade did not know in which direction to further develop her abilities, and how to develop them.
She asked Orochimaru, and Orochimaru's advice to her was to ask the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, or Kakui.
As a ninjutsu master, the third generation's knowledge of chakra and ninjutsu is something that even Orochimaru admires. Perhaps in some aspects, Orochimaru has gone deeper than the third generation, but in terms of comprehensiveness, Orochimaru is not as good as him. Just like he taught them before, the third generation now may be able to point out a way for Tsunade with his own experience and knowledge.
Compared to Tsunade and Orochimaru, Jiraiya seems to be much inferior in developing ninjutsu. So far, he has not come up with any forbidden jutsu worthy of praise. The only convenient ninjutsu that is currently frequently used is the Rasengan created by his disciple Namikaze Minato.
But Jiraiya's style is simple to the extreme. In his hands, conventional ninjutsu, with the support of fairy techniques, can exert the power of their high-risk and destructive forbidden techniques.
With Mount Myoboku as their back, Jiraiya, who is somewhat similar to Tsunade, pursues extreme simplicity in fighting style. Perhaps he can give Tsunade some advice.
As for Lu Nie, as the creator of Hougyoku, he may know better how to enhance the power of Hougyoku mode.
Tsunade first blocked the Third Hokage, who occasionally taught students after retirement, in the Konoha Ninja School, and then pulled Jiraiya out from behind an open-air bath.
After listening to Tsunade's words, the two gave some suggestions, especially the Third Hokage. He had always wanted to ease the relationship with Tsunade, so he racked his brains to plan a possible path for her improvement based on Tsunade's current condition.
However, Tsunade's current physical fitness has completely exceeded the third generation's understanding. He can only put himself in Tsunade's shoes based on his understanding of the first generation and give guidance and analysis to her condition.
Finally, after listening to the advice of the Third Hokage and Jiraiya, Tsunade found Shikagawa who was in the technical development department.
"Do you want to improve your abilities? Or do you want to improve so that you can exert greater lethality in battle?" After listening to Tsunade's words, Lu Nie pointed out what she was struggling with.
"Apart from my supernatural strength in combat, I also master medical ninjutsu and forbidden techniques. It's hard to imagine how they can be applied in combat." Tsunade replied softly.
Medical ninjutsu itself is rarely used in combat. Except for ninjutsu that disrupt nerves, such as Chakra Scalpel and Ranshin Chong, it is rare to have a lethal effect in combat. Therefore, the first rule of medical ninjas on the battlefield is to stay away from danger, hide yourself in combat, and treat your partners after the combat technique is completed.
Even Tsunade did not use medical ninjutsu in battle, but the strange power and forbidden techniques developed by her own chakra application. But now, all of these have been invalidated.
If it weren't for Orochimaru and Kagawa, Tsunade would have thought she had reached the end of this road. But it was precisely the exploration and evolution of their own Hogyoku power that made her realize that she might not have reached the end.
