Hashirama and Mito's Shock, Konoha Dragon

"Hehe, Big Brother Hashirama, this is also one of my taijutsu techniques. It's called Tekkai!"

Uzushiogakure, in the courtyard.

The moment Takenaka Kaguya said this, Hashirama Senju felt completely dumbfounded.

He had only dared to catch Takenaka Kaguya's Shigan barehanded because he was using Sage Mode. Yet he had never expected that, even without Chakra, Takenaka Kaguya's body could become as hard as steel.

At that moment, Hashirama Senju lowered his head and glanced at the already slightly bent Kunai, his heart filled with shock.

Beside him, Mito Uzumaki quickly ran over and inspected the spot where Takenaka Kaguya had just been stabbed by the Kunai. Seeing that he truly was not injured in the slightest, she patted her chest and said, "Whew, Takenaka, you scared your sister half to death! Why didn't you dodge just now? What if Hashirama accidentally hurt you?"

Looking at the clearly relieved Mito Uzumaki, Takenaka Kaguya smiled and explained, "Sister, don't worry. Since I asked Big Brother Hashirama to test my taijutsu level, I naturally had to show him what I could do.

Besides, I was certain I wouldn't be hurt, which is why I didn't dodge. Otherwise, with my speed, Big Brother Hashirama's Kunai could never have struck me so easily just now."

"Whew!"

Mito Uzumaki let out another breath of relief, realizing that she had only frightened herself. She then nodded with a smile. "All right, Sister admits it. Even without Chakra, you have the ability to protect yourself.

Let's stop the fight here. Can you tell us how you created these strange taijutsu techniques?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hashirama Senju withdrew from Sage Mode and put away his Kunai. Looking at Takenaka Kaguya with great interest, he asked, "Yes, Takenaka. Although I could already see your unparalleled confidence on your face earlier, fighting you made me realize just how unbelievable this taijutsu is.

Rankyaku, which can kick out slashing attacks; Shigan, which can easily pierce flesh and blood; Kami-e, which can evade attacks; and finally Tekkai, which hardens the body like steel.

Honestly, these taijutsu techniques truly surprised me. They cover high-speed movement, attack, evasion, and defense, and they already seem to form a complete system. I have to say, Takenaka, you really are an extraordinary genius."

Only Hashirama Senju, who had fought Takenaka Kaguya just now, understood how formidable these techniques he had created were.

Honestly, it was only because his reactions were fast and he had Sage Mode. Otherwise, if someone else fought Takenaka Kaguya without understanding this unusual taijutsu, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.

Just imagine it: in battle, an enemy could jab a finger at you and directly pierce your body, or kick once and unleash an attack like a slash.

Then there was the taijutsu that turned the body as hard as steel. If Takenaka Kaguya had taken advantage of Hashirama's momentary daze just now, he could have seized an opening.

Moreover, Takenaka Kaguya himself was extremely powerful. In battle, a moment of surprise was enough for him to seize anyone's weakness and kill them with a single strike.

Seeing the anticipation on Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki's faces, Takenaka Kaguya smiled and nodded. "Of course. Let's go over there and talk."

"Okay."

A short while later, Hashirama Senju poured Takenaka Kaguya a cup of tea, then listened as Takenaka Kaguya explained, "There are six taijutsu techniques in total. I call them Rokushiki.

Big Brother Hashirama has already seen the five I displayed just now: Soru, Rankyaku, Kami-e, Shigan, and Tekkai.

The last one is Geppo, which allows one to walk through the air.

The difference between Rokushiki and the taijutsu used by ordinary Ninja is that Rokushiki does not require Chakra support. As long as I have enough stamina, I can keep using it.

After all, I possess the Kaguya Clan's Kekkei Genkai, Shikotsumyaku. Combined with Rokushiki, it gives me far more room to survive on the battlefield than ordinary Ninja.

And with the swordsmanship I practice, as long as I do not encounter a top-tier powerhouse like Big Brother Hashirama, almost no one can kill me."

When he finished, Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki exchanged a glance. Both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They had to admit that this taijutsu called Rokushiki had truly broadened their horizons.

"A genius concept, Takenaka. If we are speaking solely of taijutsu, I don't think anyone in the entire Shinobi World could be your match." Hashirama Senju nodded in praise, giving him an extremely high evaluation.

"That's right. The taijutsu you created, Takenaka, is strange and practical. It was invented purely for actual combat.

If a Ninja fought you without understanding this kind of taijutsu, they would definitely suffer badly." Mito Uzumaki also nodded in agreement.

However, Takenaka Kaguya did not dare accept the claim that it was the strongest taijutsu.

After all, when it came to taijutsu, the strongest was naturally the Eight Inner Gates.

Especially after opening all Eight Gates, Might Guy had nearly kicked Six Paths Madara to death with a single kick.

Rokushiki was powerful, but it was still far inferior to the Eight Inner Gates.

At the very least, during his exchange with Hashirama Senju just now, he had gained almost no advantage after Hashirama activated Sage Mode.

"Hehe, Big Brother Hashirama, Sister, Rokushiki can be considered decent taijutsu, but I don't think it deserves the title of strongest," Takenaka Kaguya said modestly.

"Hahaha, Takenaka, you're already very impressive. I wasn't talking nonsense just now.

When it comes to taijutsu alone, you are the strongest I have ever seen.

Even Chen Baojun, Konoha's strongest taijutsu Ninja and the creator of the Konoha Dragon, would not be your opponent." Hashirama Senju laughed and waved his hand.

"Chen Baojun?"

Hearing this name for the first time, Takenaka Kaguya froze for a moment. Then he remembered that he had indeed seen someone highly skilled in taijutsu on the battlefield before.

However, since they had never fought, he had not known the other man's name.

Still, the technique Konoha Dragon brought a figure to mind: Teacher Chen, hailed as Konoha's strongest taijutsu Ninja. His ultimate move was the Konoha Dragon God. He had "died" during the Third Shinobi World War, had some "history" with Rock Lee, and was called a hero of Konoha by Teacher Guy.

It seemed that the person Hashirama spoke of was the same person he had been thinking of.

"Yes, Chen Baojun is one of Konoha's rising talents, an expert who is exceptionally skilled in taijutsu.

When you have the chance to visit Konoha, I'll introduce you two.

You are both taijutsu experts. If you meet, I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about." Hashirama Senju nodded with a smile.

"Sure. If I get the chance, I definitely want to meet him.

After all, I also want to witness a taijutsu technique like the Konoha Dragon for myself."
