"Wow, that's amazing." Hanabi, the petite girl, stared at Ryoha with eyes like small planets. Her reaction brought a satisfied smile to Ryoha's lips, and his victorious demeanor made all the women blush and tease him.
"This man, he's really something." Konan, who was initially indecisive about what to do, was awestruck by the power of that single punch. Besides the shock and disbelief, her heart was filled with determination. She had realized what she needed to do.
Perhaps peace in the ninja world or unification was an incredibly simple matter for this man. She no longer found her previous pursuits laughable; what was truly laughable was that they had underestimated their own abilities. If they had the strength of Ryoha, such pursuits would have entailed no sacrifices or pain, and they would be within easy reach.
"Think of me as someone who is entrusted with Nagato and Yahiko's dreams. I want to witness you fulfilling our dreams personally. I also want to exact revenge on Nagato with my own hands. So much has been sacrificed already; there's no need for me to care about these last remnants of pride."
Konan had already made up her mind. Three weeks from now, she would not only fulfill her own dreams but also avenge the hatred. If she became Ryoha's woman, it could indirectly be considered the fulfillment of her own dreams. This would also give closure to Nagato and Yahiko in the afterlife. With the same resolve, as Ryoha's woman, she could exact her revenge without any regrets. She needed to make Ryoha love and believe in her and, in turn, make herself fall in love with him and believe in him.
"Big brother-in-law, you're amazing. Can you show me some of your other jutsu, like Wind Release, Lightning Release, Fire Release, Water Release, and Earth Release?" Hanabi now had the typical expression of a child who had seen a fascinating toy.
"Alright, today, big brother-in-law will be generous and fulfill all your wishes in one go. But don't praise me like that; your big brother-in-law will get embarrassed. Moreover, when it comes to strength, there are people who are on par with me or even slightly stronger." Ryoha said. He glanced at Tsunade, who was standing nearby. Hanabi now remembered that Ryoha had trained Tsunade in the Gravity Room, and that the incredible strength of Ryoha's Monstrous Strength Fist was also taught by Tsunade.
When it came to the Monstrous Strength Fist, nobody understood it better than its developer, Tsunade. Learning it doesn't mean you understand every aspect of it, as no matter how you learn it, you cannot surpass its developer when it comes to understanding the essence and mysteries of the Monstrous Strength Fist. Therefore, in terms of understanding the essence, the developer will always be unmatched, especially when there's an equal footing in strength. In that case, the user of the jutsu will be far more powerful than the one who learned it. If both use the same jutsu, the victor is undoubtedly the developer.
Tsunade's abilities were almost on par with Ryoha. In a contest of Byakugou Seal, Ryoha at most could only hold his own against Tsunade. In an actual battle using pure strength, it was highly likely that Ryoha would be at a disadvantage. Tsunade excelled in various aspects, including genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu, just like Ryoha.
In a real fight, it was about who could perform better and whose condition was better. It was about who could utilize the various bloodline limits and techniques in their hands more effectively. Jutsu, bloodline limits, and the like were powerful weapons in their hands. It depended on who could better enhance their existing abilities with these weapons to determine the outcome.
"So, can I take this to mean you're saying I'm really violent?" Tsunade squinted her very attractive eyes and asked, her whole demeanor appearing cute and charming.
"Of course not. I was just saying that there are people more skilled than me in this aspect." Ryoha knew Tsunade was quite sensitive when it came to discussions about violence and power. Even though she was known as the "Milk Tank." "Mother Dinosaur." and "Milk Dinosaur." it didn't mean she liked others discussing such matters in front of her, much like how Kurenai didn't like people mentioning age-related terms in her presence.
"Can I take this as praise from you?" Although she still had that same smile, Ryoha could sense a different aura from her.
"Of course, my wife is good at everything. Why wouldn't she deserve praise?" Ryoha wasn't sure whether he was appreciating Tsunade or himself for finding such a good wife, but either way, Tsunade was very happy. Her smile was sweeter than honey.
"Big brother-in-law, don't digress. If you two want to be affectionate, save it for later. I want to see." Hanabi, the youngest in the group, interrupted at a very inopportune time.
"Alright, alright, you win. It's really cold out here, and while we might not be able to witness the full power of Fire Release, we can clearly see the user's skill in such a frigid environment. If Fire Release can still display impressive power under these icy conditions, then it would be even more terrifying in normal circumstances. Which Fire Release jutsu should we use? How about this one, Fire Release: Flame Lord's Descent."
Even in this extremely cold environment, the temperature in the air visibly increased at an alarming rate. Eventually, within a radius of about a hundred meters, there was no snowfall. A scorching red light radiated from above in the sky, resembling a sun in the heavens. This orange sphere, which emitted scorching temperatures, appeared over Ryoha. The surface of this sphere was covered with intense orange flames that distorted the air.
"The most frightening aspect of fire is its explosion and combustion. This jutsu combines the properties of high-temperature combustion and explosion, essentially solidifying it. How powerful it is—see it for yourself."
