Chapter 41: Tsunami

The fight between Tsunade vs Rasa and the Uchiha vs the Kaguya continued for a long time, it almost seemed that the quadruple combat had become a single duel now.

Although no one in the audience seemed to complain about this as the fights going on at the same time on the dueling field kept everyone very attentive and anxious.

It was noticeable how the audience moved their heads quickly and enthusiastically from side to side trying to watch both duels without wanting to miss a thing.

....

...

Now, despite the Uchiha clan being good at close combat, it doesn't compare to the Kaguya clan even with the use of his Sharingan it can't compare to the skill and strength that Kaguya Dokuro had.

The Uchiha had to block many attacks with his sword, he was again on the defensive in the face of the Kaguya's violent offense.

From the exchange the two were having, it was evident that Kaguya Dokuro was better at close range, while most of the Uchiha's attacks gave him an advantage at long range.

The Sharingan advantage that the Uchiha had was lost against someone like him.

That's how Dokuro held a slight advantage in their fight, his bones are no joke, and he had so many ways to attack and defend that the Uchiha couldn't see all his moves in time.

Even the Uchiha's sword has been cut by the bone blade of the Kaguya's body.

There are holes all over the sword, and the blade is full of cracks so at any moment it would break.

Finally, after a few moments of fierce confrontation, the sword in the Uchiha's hand broke, but he anticipated this and at that precise moment used a clone to distract the Kaguya and then move away from him.

Once he moved away, the Uchiha stopped his approach and breathed heavily for the confrontation he had been having, now he was very clear that he could not face Dokuro in close combat.

Dokuro Kaguya on the other hand showed no sign of fatigue, in fact, he seemed more energetic than ever.

"Ha Ha!, Uchiha Shasume, I have to admit that your clan's Sharingan really is something..., however, fighting me one-on-one is a big mistake. You would never win, even though I appreciate you trying," said Dokuro with an expression on his face that looked like that of a maniac.

Uchiha Shasume ignored Kaguya Dokuro's words and instead looked at him coldly.

"I will deal with you now," said the Uchiha coldly and began to make hand seals quickly.

Seeing this, Dokuro also responded quickly and stepped forward to attack him, at this moment he has pulled out the bone blade and quickly attacked the Uchiha which was exposed, when his bone blade pierced the Uchiha's body, it felt strange and immediately he realized that he had been tricked.

"Shadow Clone... Explosion" all that was heard was the cold voice of the Uchiha.

Kaguya Dokuro saw that the Uchiha's figure instantly turned into smoke and at the same moment the clone disappeared a huge explosion was detonated.

Yes, Uchiha Shasume created a shadow clone, with the intention that his opponent would attack the clone at close range with his bone, and after a certain amount of time, the clone detonated, creating a huge explosion.

The Uchiha squinted his eyes as he looked at the site of the explosion and saw Dokuro's shadow...

When the smoke finally went away, all that was left was a huge area of the field burned and a Kaguya Dokuro full of burns and some blood, but despite this, his body seemed to be fine as it had been covered by a thick bone layer.

Kaguya Dokuro had already noticed that something was wrong when his bone penetrated the clone.

However, at that moment, he couldn't do much to escape or avoid what the Uchiha had planned, so out of instinct he just covered his body with bone armor as fast as he could and it was a wise decision since otherwise, he would have lost.

Still, it was a hard hit, he had to use the bones of his own body to cover his whole body quickly and still took some damage... besides this technique consumes quite a lot of chakra so the Kaguya wasn't planning to use it yet, but he always trusts his instincts and luckily they didn't fail him.

...

...

Rasa was surprised by the power of Tsunade's punches, he already knew that her punches were pretty strong but it was only when his golden dust started to flake against her punches was when he realized that it was something very serious and as time went by every punch she made seemed to be stronger and stronger, to the point where she was eliminating his golden dust as if it was nothing.

It was like watching a professional boxer punching sand.

She didn't give him time to breathe as she ran at him once again.

But this time she made several hand seals.

"Water Style: Severing Wave" finished Tsunade and from her mouth, she spat water as a high-pressure stream rushed towards him.

'Shit...' thought Rasa as he saw the jutsu she used, if he was right that jutsu is powerful enough to cleanly cut the roots of the God Tree with ease.

Rasa quickly ducked under the high-pressure water jet and instantly used his golden dust to create a clone and move away from Tsunade's attack.

She destroyed the golden dust clone to the point where she didn't even let it reform.

'Well, this makes it very clear to me that I was an idiot to ever think that Tsunade only used taijutsu, clearly, she knows many of the second Hokage's water techniques and they are more than just a little dangerous' concluded Rasa more than a little annoyed with himself for underestimating what he knew about her, but he didn't let it get to him too much now and quickly counterattacked.

"Golden Dust: Desert Hand," said Rasa suddenly creating from the ground behind Tsunade two golden dust hands that bound and restrained her legs.

"Hmmm, seems like I underestimated you," said Tsunade seeing the golden dust hands squeezing her legs.

'You're not the only one' thought Rasa but decided not to say that.

"Well, I usually surprise Princess" he joked, but the truth is that all his focus was on his technique.

"Oh... is that so, then I must take this more seriously," she said with a slight smile concentrating chakra on her legs and stepping very hard on the ground, which made the golden dust that was holding her instantly detach from her legs and as usual she also created a small crater.

Even though her technique had failed, Rasa couldn't help but look amused at this, she had already been leaving craters like that all over the dueling field.

'It already looks like her personal trademark' thought Rasa remembering that his was the use of golden dust, Tsunade's was his brute strength, Orochimaru's was his genius, and a great variety of jutsu such as the third Hokage and Jiraiya.... well, Jiraiya is Jiraiya.

The instant Tsunade was released she made several hand seals and three clones formed from the surrounding water.

Two of them rushed towards Rasa for a close combat, while the third one shot at him with several Kunai.

'Looks like I'll have to give it my all too' thought Rasa with a tired sigh as he pulled out two more scrolls from which came a large amount of golden dust.

Of course to Rasa giving it his all meant using all his power except his metal manipulation, as much as he wanted to use it to impress everyone and win it wasn't beneficial for him, in fact, it would be very problematic if he made use of it, but at least now he could see what his level was compared to other ninjas using everything he had except his AS (metal manipulation).

"Golden Dust: Tsunami!" said Rasa loudly with his eyes completely black except for the pupil of his golden eye shining brightly.

It was then that suddenly the golden dust began to rise in front of Rasa until it formed a great tsunami that picked up more and more minerals from the earth as it advanced making it grow even bigger to the point that it swept through the entire dueling field.

Even the public present was frightened by the size of the Tsunami thinking that it would reach them, but in the surroundings of the dueling field, there were ninjas prepared to avoid any problem.

Tsunade's water clones that were in front of Rasa were easily swallowed by the tsunami while she looked surprised at his technique, but she wasted no time and concentrated all her chakra in her fist.

"Wild Earth Strike" Tsunade hit the ground at the very moment the golden dust tsunami reached her.

...

...

The Uchiha and Dokuro who had been facing each other in a very equal duel were surprised to see an immense tsunami of golden dust and earth approaching them.

And both of them instantly prepared to defend themselves from the attack.

"Fire Style: Fierce Dragon Flame Armor Jutsu" the Uchiha compressed a large amount of chakra accumulated inside his body and transformed it into a fireball shaped like a dragon's head, then, he controlled this great fire to surround his body from the tsunami.

The flames have such a high temperature that they can burn the earth and melt the golden dust that approached the Uchiha, but for this, the Uchiha had to use a large amount of chakra constantly to maintain the technique.

And on the other hand, Kaguya Dokuro seemed to have been swept away by the tsunami.
