Iwagakure.
In the Tsuchikage's office, the still very young Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, slammed a piece of intelligence onto the table.
"A bunch of useless trash!!"
Ōnoki's face showed an annoyed expression.
It was already a disgrace to fail in an ambush against a Konoha squadron and let them escape, but after chasing them for several days and reaching the heart of the Land of Rain, they still hadn't captured them.
This enraged Ōnoki, who immediately dispatched Anbu Ninja to take over the situation and assist in the encirclement and killing of the Konoha Ninja.
Even after Ōnoki learned of Tsunade's true identity, he still took it very seriously.
However, the chase ultimately ended in failure.
The intelligence reports indicated that the battlefield was in complete disarray, and all the ninjas who went to hunt down Tsunade had been wiped out.
Moreover, an extremely brutal battle took place on the field. It is estimated that an elite force from Konoha arrived in time to rescue Tsunade and annihilate the entire Iwagakure force.
"Hmph! Konoha's reaction speed is really fast, but that Gando is indeed a piece of trash."
Ōnoki turned around angrily and paced back and forth in the Tsuchikage's office.
However, after taking a few steps, Ōnoki picked up the intelligence report again, and after reading it once more, he immediately frowned.
"That's not right! Where would Konoha get elite troops in the heart of the Land of Rain?!"
"If there really are elite troops, what are the scouts doing? Don't they have any intelligence at all?!"
There's something wrong here!
Ōnoki frowned, then ordered, "Tell me the details of the battlefield!"
Soon, a ninja came in and reported to Ōnoki.
Ōnoki frowned more and more as he listened, saying, "This scene... might not be an elite unit at all, it could just be a few people... or even just one person!"
"The earth is cracked, everything is broken, what kind of Ninjutsu is this, Wind Release? Lightning Release?!"
"No, there's something wrong here. It's very likely the effect of some kind of Secret Technique, or even some kind of Kekkei Genkai. Such a person shouldn't be unknown and just suddenly appear. So who exactly is this person?!"
" Konoha really has quite a few trump cards..."
Thinking of this, Ōnoki took a deep breath, his expression turning quite cold. He returned to the Tsuchikage's seat, and after pondering for a long time, he issued several orders.
It's time to teach Konoha a lesson!
The heart of the Land of Rain.
The rain poured down, and even though it was partially blocked by the dense canopy of trees, it still managed to seep through the gaps.
Below, inside a tree hollow, the air was surprisingly dry.
There are some cracks at the entrance of the cave, and all the rainwater flows into the cracks. Behind the cracks, there are arched Gando and soil that block the rainwater from flowing in.
Here, fetching water is a very simple thing, to say nothing of other matters.
Tsunade was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her wounds were simply bandaged and had not been treated.
This makes it very easy to get infected.
After a while, Tsunade slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Uya sitting beside her, and said, "My Chakra has almost recovered."
"Um."
Uya responded without even looking up.
"Now I need to treat my injuries."
"Um."
Uya continued to respond with her head bowed.
The black lines on Tsunade's forehead were increasing.
"Then you'd better get out of here right now!!"
"Huh?!" Uya suddenly raised his head, staring at Tsunade in astonishment.
The next moment, Uya understood. Tsunade had many wounds and a lot of blood on her body, so she probably needed to clean them up properly.
Some of the bloodstains had been there for several days, and the smell on his body was naturally not very pleasant.
After shrugging, Uya turned and walked out.
Tsunade watched Uya's retreating figure, shook her head with a hint of helplessness, then stretched out her jade-like hand, her palm glowing with a faint green light, and gently pressed it onto one of Yuya's wounds.
After leaving the tree hollow, Uya had no intention of going back to spy.
Jiraiya was Jiraiya killed by a punch after spying on Tsunade; Uya has never forgotten this scene from the original work.
Of course, to be honest, Uya is only ten years old, still too young to understand anything.
With a slight pout, Uya remarked that Tsunade was giving him special treatment because his mental maturity surpassed that of children his age.
The rain continued to fall.
However, not a single drop could land on Uya; they were all gently repelled by Uya's Power of Tremors before they even got close.
Uya frequently kept her body in a state of slight vibration.
This state not only makes one immune to ordinary Genjutsu, but also, strangely enough, allows one to generate a faint resonance with the surroundings, thereby gaining a subtle sense of touch.
Of course, Uya cannot yet reach the level of a sensory ninja, or even the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, simply by relying on this kind of perception.
However, Uya felt that this direction might actually be worth exploring.
Everything in the world vibrates, and through his own Quake Release Kekkei Genkai, he seems to be able to sense those vibrations.
In that case, Uya might no longer need sight.
If he doesn't need to open his eyes, then even if Uya encounters a special type of Genjutsu like Tsukuyomi, he will have a way to deal with it.
Of course, this is just a preliminary idea for Uya, and it will be difficult to actually realize it. At least for now, his Third Stage Quake Release is not yet capable of achieving this.
They can't even perceive a radius of a few feet around themselves.
Besides that, Uya is quite interested in movement techniques and has done some research on them.
His current speed is basically comparable to that of a typical Kage Level powerhouse.
However, if you want to compare it to the speed of the Fourth Raikage, there is still a big gap, and even opening the Fourth Gate might not be enough to catch up.
Uya estimated that if he could open the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation and obtain the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, and complete its training, he might be able to barely catch up with the Fourth Raikage.
However, this speed is still quite average. Compared to Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God in the future, its spatial speed is still incomparable.
What Uya wanted was a speed close to flashing, almost comparable to spatial speed, over short distances!
Only with this kind of speed can one deal with the Flying Thunder God.
If you can rival the Flying Thunder God over short distances, then it all comes down to reaction speed.
Uya doesn't need a particularly fast reaction speed. He only needs to reach a certain level of physical speed, and the Power of Tremors he unleashes will be enough to make even the Flying Thunder God Power of Tremors.
Given Uya's Power of Tremors and the physical constitution of the ninjas in this world, even being grazed by the Power of Tremors would result in serious injuries.
To rival the Flying Thunder God in a short distance is a very difficult goal.
But Uya had some ideas in his mind, such as a high-speed movement Taijutsu he knew... Shave!
