Looking at Ai's appearance, Roger also had other thoughts.
If A, as the son, has such strength, then what about the Third Raikage?
How strong is that guy, who's known as the Strongest Shield and the Strongest Spear, in terms of Taijutsu? Can we get a glimpse of him from Ai?
"Furthermore, since awakening my Sage Body, I still don't know what level I've reached in terms of Taijutsu..."
"Has it reached the level of 'Ai'?"
Roger thought to himself, then looked at the Wood Human that was already teetering on the brink of collapse.
Under the combined attack, the Wood Human, now exhausted, was on the verge of being dismantled.
"We can't let you ruin things."
Roger clapped his hands, and the Wood Human figure, which was already fifty meters tall, grew even taller, soaring to eighty meters!
The situation reversed instantly, with offense and defense becoming completely different!
Roger smiled and looked at Ai, who looked as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Come on, let's have a contest of Taijutsu!"
Roger said this, adopting a "bring it on" attitude, which made Ai's veins bulge.
He clenched his fists, and a flame called "fighting spirit" seemed to burn fiercely in his eyes!
"In terms of Ninjutsu alone, I am indeed inferior to you, but when it comes to Taijutsu, I am second to none! Not even my father!"
"This punch, imbued with twenty years of internal energy, can you withstand it?"
A roared and unleashed a punch filled with rage, his Lightning Release Chakra Mode operating at full capacity, erupting with a deafening roar of thunder!
He, A, learned Nintaijutsu at the age of six, and mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode at the age of ten. It has been twenty years since then!
For the past twenty years, he has trained rigorously in the coldest and hottest winters, received meticulous instruction from Third Raikage, and possessed exceptional talent. He has finally mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and rightfully earned the title of the next generation's "A"!
In the entire Kumogakure, besides the Third Raikage, who could rival him?
Now, a squishy character who uses Wood Release actually dares to blatantly provoke him?
"Good timing!"
Seeing this scene with its amazing special effects, Roger's eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and cheered, then put his five fingers together and threw a punch!
Bang!
When their fists clashed, the air seemed to explode, and an oppressive pressure surged forth, stirring up a gust of wind.
"Good!"
The ground beneath Roger's feet had begun to collapse.
His entire arm trembled as such a direct and powerful Strong Fist landed.
This isn't fear, it's excitement!
Ai, who was also engaged in combat, was quite surprised. The guy in front of him was already as skilled in Taijutsu as he was!
This was a head-on collision; he used Lightning Release Chakra to gain the upper hand, while his opponent didn't seem to be using any special techniques.
Bang bang bang!
The Setsuna they made contact, they each withdrew their strength and began to fight back.
When their fists and palms collide, wherever they are, the place will be left in a mess, as if it had been bombarded by missiles!
"Such superb Taijutsu!"
Roger was filled with indescribable surprise.
He also had some knowledge of the Night Moon Clan's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
This secret technique uses Lightning Release to stimulate cells, repeatedly stimulating them to regenerate.
This process is extremely difficult, but if one can achieve it, then one has at least touched the threshold of "Shadow," possessing an incredibly tough physical body with almost no flaws!
During their fight, Ai's punches and kicks possessed terrifying power; even the remaining force was enough to shatter stone tablets!
In this respect, Roger was ultimately just a clone, falling far short.
In addition, coupled with his extremely strong martial arts and combat skills, his Taijutsu are almost impossible to find a weakness!
The only drawback might be that the opponent stubbornly took a beating from the Wood Dragon earlier, and although they had a short rest just now, they are definitely not fully recovered.
In reality, Ai's shock was no less than Roger's.
He had heard that Roger might be a member of the Senju Clan, possessing the Senju Clan's Chakra Enhanced Strength, and might be a formidable opponent, but definitely not a match for him in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Now, although he has Roger firmly under his control, the opponent still hasn't used any distinctive Taijutsu!
Even so, his opponent, with their formidable regenerative abilities, managed to hold their own against him!
How could he not be surprised!
As the two clashed, the ninjas battling the Wood Human also turned their attention to them.
Looking across the Shinobi World, there are many masters of Ninjutsu, but there are probably only one or two masters of Shinobi World Taijutsu can rival the Cloud Ninja in pure Taijutsu.
Those were all established Jinchūriki, like the Four-Tails Five-Tails...
Now, we'll add Roger to the list!
Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, Ai's figure suddenly changed, and he leaped into the air.
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
That was a chop to the neck!
The Eight-Tails' left horn was severed by this attack!
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, A also used this technique to cleave Madara Uchiha's Susanoo initial form.
Unable to defeat them by force!
Roger dodged, but Ai unleashed a combo!
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
Ai twisted his waist and hips, changing his downward hand chop into a diagonal slash towards Roger!
In the Five Kage Summit in the original manga, this move interrupted Sasuke's Susanoo!
Absolutely unparalleled in power!
"How dare they ambush an old comrade like me! How shameless!"
Roger sighed inwardly, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Body Flicker Technique!
Ai's moves were fierce and difficult to defend against, so he had no choice but to avoid his attacks.
Roger appeared behind Ai and immediately kicked out!
Bang!
Ai's body traced a graceful arc in mid-air before landing on the ground in a flash, kicking up a cloud of smoke.
As the smoke cleared, Ai's figure became clear.
Ai's originally dark face now appeared unrealistically pale, and blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth.
He gritted his teeth, suppressing the metallic taste in his throat, his gaze fixed intently on Roger.
That kick just now had injured his internal organs. If it weren't for the fact that his five internal organs had been strengthened through years of cultivation, he would have Pure Land in that instant!
A hint of surprise flashed in Roger's eyes.
That kick just now only injured Ai? And it wasn't even a serious injury!
Then let's press our advantage!
Roger flashed again and appeared in front of Ai.
The next second, he gathered his strength in mid-air and launched a whip kick.
Bang!
Ai couldn't dodge in time, gritted her teeth and blocked, but was instantly sent flying backward.
"Cough cough!"
After being stopped by a large tree, the severely injured A was forced to deactivate his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and began to cough while kneeling on the ground.
The outcome is decided!
You lost.
Once Ai had recovered, Roger spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Hehe."
Ai seemed to be laughing, but her voice sounded so weak and breathless.
"I'm not even thirty yet, and you're almost sixty, aren't you?"
"Give me time, and I'll have plenty of time to surpass you in the future!"
Ai's face was ashen; he had already foreseen his future.
But this guy in front of me is terrifyingly strong!
But this is only the tip of the iceberg Senju Hashirama...
He truly deserves the title of "God of Shinobi," doesn't he?
Roger stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at him sideways.
"Being able to fight me to this extent is something you can brag about!"
"In terms of Taijutsu, I, Roger..."
