After Ryoha finished speaking, the Susanoo around his body immediately released a bright light. Circular orange lights surrounded the Susanoo. Suddenly, Pain felt a chill in his heart. This feeling hadn't appeared for so many years since he had awakened his Rinnegan. Today, it had appeared once more.
"Break it for me." Ryoha launched one of his orange energy balls against the Chibaku Tensei. His voice was full of anger and resentment.
Suddenly, with the energy ball as the starting point, Pain's Chibaku Tensei, which was becoming bigger and exploded with a loud bang. A sheer amount of orange lights emerged from the orange ball and destroyed it.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion spread from the sky for several miles, and an invisible ripple emerged from the destroyed Chibaku Tensei. A strong blinding light covered the area, making people around cover their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, they found that the asteroid-like Chibaku Tensei on the sky had begun shattering to the ground. The remains of it rained on earth like a meteor shower.
"Now it's your turn." Ryoha sneered and looked at Pain, completely ignoring Susanoo's astonishing consumption of chakra. He disappeared from his place along with the Susanoo and in an instant, rushed towards Pain.
"This is bad!." Pain knew that this was too dangerous. Ryoha was too terrifying. His crazy killing intent was numbing everyone who could feel it. Nagato did not want Yahiko's body to be destroyed far away from their home at the Amegakure, so he immediately used one of the Six Paths' abilities, summoning back the six of his Pains.
"Leaving already? Don't even think about it. I will chase you to the ends of the earth and destroy you to the bone." Ryoha couldn't let him go He threw a handful of kunai and inserted them into the Deva Path's clothes. After seeing him disappear, the corner of his mouth curled up. Along with Susanoo, Ryoha also teleported to the place where Nagato was hiding.
"Tsunade, hurry up and wake up. If you don't wake up, Ryoha will go crazy." Looking at Ryoha's frenzied state, Bulma only felt a burst of worry in her heart. Tears continuously dripped down Tsunade's face like pearls.
"He went as far as using the Hiraishin* to chase him. It seems that the resentment in Ryoha's heart is too great. He won't be satisfied until he destroys that Rinnegan user completely."
Byakko sighed. In the beginning, she did not agree with Tsunade's decision. But there was no other way. It was Tsunade, after all. Could she stop doing what she had decided? It was obviously impossible.
However, no one knew that while Tsunade's body was dead, her soul was not destroyed. She was on the verge of leaving her body. However, she relied on her willpower that surpassed life and death to stay in her body. Unfortunately, there seemed to be an invisible gate to the underworld in the void. It continuously sucked her soul in.
This was the Gate of the Underworld. It would immediately suck any wandering soul. However, Tsunade was able to resist for so long. It had to be said that she was really powerful. This had nothing to do with her physical strength. It was completely a problem of willpower and obsession.
"So this is death. But I refuse to enter the other side. I have spent so many years and efforts for this."
Even so, after resisting for so long, Tsunade felt that she was getting weaker, and the obsession in her heart seemed to be decreasing over time.
Just when Tsunade was about to be sucked in, she seemed to hear Bulma's voice. It was very weak, but it clearly entered Tsunade's soul.
"Wake up quickly. You promised me that you would not die. Ryoha has already gone berserk because of you. He went to chase after that Rinnegan user and has already used his Susanoo!"
"If you don't come out, he will not exhaust his life. At that time, he will join you on the other side. Didn't you say that you did this for him to be able to awaken his Wood Release? But now that you have an accident, he has gone mad, and he is trying to avenge you. Please, wake up quickly!"
"What? Ryoha's back already? Did he go berserk? Damn, I didn't expect him to do that for me. It seems that I am very important to him. As far as I know, he has been so crazy for Bulma. I didn't expect that he would do the same for me. This idiot, I must teach him a lesson when I go back."
Tsunade's resolve suddenly returned. Her strong willpower that transcended life and death appeared once more. She only felt warmth in her soul. Although Ryoha was not her real family, after getting along with him for a while, Tsunade gradually regarded Ryoha as her own younger brother.
What Tsunade did not know was that because of her concern for Ryoha and her dedication to her beloved family, her soul began to emit the power to resist the traction force from the Gate of the Underworld. Love was indeed a strong force. After all, It was enough to make the Sage choose Ashura as his successor.
The power of the Senju clan lies in their love for their family. In the past, Hashirama was able to protect Konoha from Madara and his Kyubi because he was trying to do everything to protect Konoha and his loved ones. His love gave him great strength to overcome adversity.
Tsunade and Hashirama's guess was right. To completely awaken the Wood Release, the user must die first, but there was still a step missing.
One had to unleash their obsession and willpower to go back to their loved ones' side. The deeper the feelings, the greater the success rate. Now, Tsunade inadvertently did it.
At the same time, Tsunade was not unprepared. Before she was hit by the Shinra Tensei, she activated her Mitotic Regeneration. No matter how serious the injury was, she could recover.
In other words, as long as Tsunade's soul could resist the Gate of the Underworld and return to her body, then she could be resurrected again. Of course, the premise was that she could resist the gate before her body completely recovered.
Initially, Tsunade almost failed, but now she was about to succeed. She still had the support of the Mitotic Regeneration in her body, so her internal organs and blood vessel, which were damaged by Shinra Tensei's sheer force, had completely recovered.
Suddenly, Tsunade felt that her soul was pulled by a strong force that came from the opposite of the Gate. Her soul was starting to return to her body. Tsunade knew that she had succeeded, and she was excited and happy to meet Ryoha again.
A surge of chakra aura full of vitality burst out from her body. Traces of green light wrapped her whole body and formed a big cocoon as if she was under the metamorphosis process like a butterfly.
