Bloodline Limit - Chapter 481

Ryoha played a prank and wanted to have a countdown to death. He thought using a clock as a countdown would be boring, so he used the battle as the countdown. The arrival of their death would coincide with the end of the battle. Ryoha didn’t intend to let them die so easily. He wanted to torture the minds and bodies of the high-ranking elders with the constant possibility of death that could come at any moment.

Imagine death accompanying you at every moment, ready to devour you with the clock of death. The feeling of being able to sense the breath of death with every breath is a form of torture. Many people may not fear death, especially those who have chosen the path of a ninja. However, being accompanied by death at all times, feeling the torment of death’s presence like being tied to a time bomb, is an experience few can endure, especially the decayed high-ranking individuals.

Of course, Ryoha himself didn’t cast the Eternal Abyss. It was just a clone summoned using the Shadow Clone Technique. He himself was still there, dealing with Deidara and Konan. However, everyone in Konoha who was trapped in the Eternal Abyss could clearly see everything through the massive light and shadow that appeared in the darkness, like a screen.

“Ryoha, tell me, was that swath of black light back then caused by you?” Jiraiya still wanted to confirm personally.

“Indeed, that was me,” Ryoha had another shadow clone staying here. However, it would disappear soon. Just when it was about to vanish, it heard Jiraiya’s words and answered directly without hiding.

“Then, who was the other golden-green light accompanying the black light?” Jiraiya was a bit unsure this time.

“Is there even a need to ask? Who is currently fighting with Pain?” Ryoha said with a hint of amusement.

“Tsunade? How is that possible?” Jiraiya was shocked. How could it be Tsunade? But it seemed that only Tsunade had that kind of terrifying life force.

“What’s impossible? After Tsunade awakened Wood Release, based on Wood Release as the foundation, she developed a bloodline limit far beyond Wood Release. The golden-green light was created by the Holy Release produced simultaneously with my Dark Release.” Ryoha answered, and regardless of Jiraiya, he disappeared.

“Dark Release? Holy Release? They truly are a perfect match. It seems that the only one who can contend with Ryoha in a battle is Tsunade. However, right now… sigh, if only back then, no matter what the cost, we couldn’t have allowed any gaps or rifts to appear in Tsunade’s relationship with Konoha. It’s just a pity that it’s too late now.”

Jiraiya sighed desolately. If Tsunade were still in Konoha, they would have had the only person capable of contending with Ryoha. But it wasn’t the case now.

The only person who could contend with Ryoha was unexpectedly with Ryoha, and they had both developed such terrifying abilities at the same time. Moreover, it seemed that Tsunade was clearly very disgusted with Konoha. It was even more certain that Tsunade would not help Konoha contend with Ryoha.

It was already fortunate that Tsunade didn’t come with Ryoha to destroy Konoha. What was more important was that, as a novelist with strong analytical and observational skills, Jiraiya could clearly see things that others couldn’t through the images in the sky.

Especially the occasional exchanges of glances between Tsunade and Ryoha. The softness and affection in those glances couldn’t escape Jiraiya’s eyes. Compared to when they met on Tanzaku Quarters, Tsunade had a bit more charm and femininity. With the small movements between the two, Jiraiya could be sure that Tsunade and Ryoha had definitely formed a romantic relationship, and Tsunade had given her chastity to Ryoha.

“Hey, you two, always exploding like this back and forth, it’s so boring.” The black light on Ryoha’s body completely blocked the powerful explosions of Konan’s numerous exploding tags, appearing like shadows accompanying him. Similarly, Deidara’s C2 attacks were also blocked.

“Damn it, that fluctuating black light, though seemingly insignificant, is far more terrifying than Gaara’s Absolute Defense. It’s practically indestructible,” Deidara was extremely frustrated. The opponent’s lack of using space-time jutsu made his Dust Release ineffective. One could imagine how annoyed Deidara felt.

“In that case, let me see how far your defense can go, C3: No. 18!” Deidara flew up suddenly and dropped a human-shaped clay bomb. Konan also flew up when she saw Deidara’s move.

“Boom!”

A scorching fire and a deafening explosion spread in all directions like a storm. Wherever the fire spread, be it rocks, earth, or trees, everything was explosively shattered into powder. Within a radius of five kilometers, anything covered by the explosion was destroyed.

“Such a terrifying explosion.” Although Kakashi had seen and even used Kamui to shift it away, when he witnessed the explosive power that created a huge pit of about five kilometers in the forest of Konoha, he was still greatly shocked. The other tough ones who had fought Deidara felt the same.

However, many ninjas did not give up on attacking the Eternal Abyss covering Konoha, especially those dubious high-ranking individuals. No matter how hard they tried to attack from any direction, it had no effect. Even using Earth Release to tunnel out was futile.

Because even the depths of the earth were sealed off by the Eternal Abyss, they felt more and more fear as time passed. They didn’t want to die. In the past, they controlled others’ lives and deaths, but now their lives were controlled by someone else. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

“Fukasaku-sama, Shima-sama, and Great Toad Sage, can’t you intervene? Ryoha can now use a power so dark and evil that it surpasses the Sharingan and Nine-Tails chakra. Look.”

Although Jiraiya felt desolate and bitter about Tsunade being with Ryoha, he had not forgotten the main matter. He quickly summoned two toad sages.

“No, even though he has obtained terrifying dark power, from the current perspective, he has not yet posed a threat to the entire ninja world, nor has he brought boundless darkness to the ninja world, let alone reached the point of life and death for the ninja world. The Great Toad Sage also want to come out, but he can’t. Even if you risk your life to summon him, it will fail.”

Shima, who was defeated by Ryoha and almost killed, also knew the seriousness of Ryoha. However, this matter was not as simple as whether wanted to come out. Even if the Great Toad Sage risked his life to be summoned, the summoning would still fail.

“Damn it, then what should we do? This Eternal Abyss can devour anything that comes into contact with it, including ninjutsu. It’s impossible to break through. Are we just going to watch him deal with the members of the Akatsuki before coming to eliminate us?”

Jiraiya dared not guarantee whether Ryoha would only kill those people. He couldn’t gamble, and moreover, even now, the power they possessed was under Jiraiya’s control. These powers were absolute and could not be weakened arbitrarily within the unity of Konoha.
