Oguri Hayashi carried no Chakra or energy whatsoever, and every Reincarnator wore a relaxed expression.
With nothing but the fists of a physical body, it was almost impossible to break through Onix's thick rocky hide.
Still, to be safe, Bai Chi shouted, "Stone! Harden!"
Onix's name was Stone, simple and easy to remember. The moment it heard its master's command, a metallic sheen spread across its body as it began to harden.
Onix could not attack while hardening, but the metallic luster covering its body showed that it had been raised exceptionally well. It was already very close to evolving into Steelix.
As a pet trained to serve as a physical tank, evolving from Onix into Steelix would undoubtedly provide them with even better defense.
At that moment, Onix was already nearly metallic, especially its head, which had become even harder. It was practically impossible for the man opposite it to injure Onix with a single punch.
Bai Chi wore a smug smile. Most of their attention remained on Tsunade. Tsunade effectively raised the battlefield's difficulty, but from another perspective, it was only natural for them to exploit a loophole and increase the difficulty.
As long as they defeated Tsunade, the Seven-Tails would be theirs.
The only good news was that, like their captain Kong Zhange, Tsunade was a close-combat ninja. In that respect, they held the advantage.
As for the other few jonin, they could deal with them easily...
"Not good!" Kong Zhange swiftly sensed the strength of the opponent through his Gourmet Cells.
"Scatter!" he shouted.
He knew Onix could no longer be saved.
Sure enough, the instant Onix's hide turned metallic, that figure had already arrived above its forehead. He did not pause in the slightest. No Chakra energy flared from his body, and there was not even a ripple of power. His muscles simply drove the force of his entire body into one fist, which slammed heavily into Onix's forehead.
I-Style was Hayato Furinji's school, but there was a reason he had not named it the Furinji Style.
Once this school was cultivated to a profound level, everyone would adapt their martial arts according to their own characteristics.
No two people had the same height, weight, muscle composition, or body fat ratio, so naturally, the same martial art would produce different results in different people.
In the world of History's Strongest Disciple, those master teachers sought out young people suited to their own schools, then shaped them into the ideal form for their martial arts style.
But only [I-Style] changed its martial techniques according to the heir's own thoughts. Hayato Furinji, Furinji Saiga, Furinji Miwa, and Ogata Isshinsai all practiced different forms of I-Style.
Oguri Hayashi had naturally embarked on his own path of [I-Style].
The original meaning of I-Style was a martial arts school centered on oneself.
Oguri Style: One-Character Collapse Fist!
He had begun exerting force from the moment he leaped. By the time he reached Onix, all his strength had gathered at a single point. Only after the restrained force struck Onix did it erupt within its body in an instant.
This hidden force was enough to rival the Reincarnators of Infinite Hall's Three-Star Ancient Martial Arts Style. The three-star pet Onix instantly seemed as though firecrackers had been set off inside it. Its joints crackled with explosive sounds, and in an instant, the stone below Onix's head blasted apart like cannonballs in every direction.
Fortunately, Kong Zhange had warned them. Otherwise, with their formation placing them so close to Onix, that explosion would have caused them considerable trouble.
"Tsunade, these people aren't Konoha ninjas, are they?" Oguri Hayashi stood atop Onix's head. This Pokémon's vitality was truly formidable. Despite being smashed to pieces and grievously injured by him, it was not dead. Its eyes had merely turned into X's, its tongue lolled out, and it had fainted.
He was disguising himself as a local native.
If he did not take the initiative to reveal his identity, fifteen years of habits and mannerisms made him no different from a native. His words darkened Tsunade's expression, and she walked to his side.
"Yeah, that's right. These bastards have some nerve, pretending to be Konoha ninjas. It really is..."
"Infuriating!" Veins bulged on Tsunade's forehead as she glared at them, her fists clenched tight.
Na Yuanliangtuo, with his lion-like nose, sneered and spoke to the person beside him in chinese. "Tsunade should have hemophobia at this point, right? A Kage-level expert is certainly formidable, but a Tsunade like this... leave her to me." His body was incredibly muscular, and he was the team's second physical tank. He pulled out a small knife, casually sliced his left hand, and charged forward with blood streaming from it.
However, there was still a considerable gap between his cultivation and that of the captain, who was nearly five-star. He did not notice the grave expression on his captain's face.
He charged out quickly, but came back even faster. Na Yuanliangtuo's vision blurred, and his entire body flew backward as though struck by a demolition wrecking ball.
Oguri Hayashi had thrown that kick casually, relying mainly on speed. Even so, Na Yuanliangtuo felt as though his internal organs were churning violently. With a retch, he vomited stomach acid in midair.
"This guy is no weaker than me. I'll take him away from the battlefield. Once you defeat Tsunade, don't worry about me. Take the Seven-Tails and leave!" Kong Zhange grabbed Na Yuanliangtuo by the shoulder and steadied his landing, then shot forward like a cannonball. Leaving those words behind in the air, he slammed into Oguri Hayashi and carried him away in an instant.
Oguri Hayashi's pupils contracted sharply. Compared with those four from last time, the man before him felt distinctly different. The sixth sense honed through martial arts clearly told him that this man was stronger than him!
Powerful currents instantly burst from Oguri Hayashi's body, electrocuting Kong Zhange until he convulsed in midair. Then, still airborne, Oguri Hayashi seized Kong Zhange's arm, thicker than his own thigh, and hurled him far away with a back throw.
Oguri Hayashi vanished from midair and appeared beside Tsunade. "This guy is stronger than me. Be careful yourselves. I'm going to fight him."
With a swish, Oguri Hayashi disappeared from Tsunade's side again.
Seeing Oguri Hayashi appear and vanish in an instant, cold sweat immediately broke out on the other four. Yun Duanyou pressed his communicator and shouted,
"Captain, your enemy knows the Flying Thunder God!"
Too late!
Listening to the voice from over there, Oguri Hayashi wore a savage grin. His leg moved like rushing thunder as he appeared beside Kong Zhange in an instant, kicking him in the neck and sending him flying away like a soccer ball.
