Chapter 76 - Power of Flashback

----------------------------

(A few hours ago)

Genji told Yahiko and the other 2 to stay quiet and left to sow discord between Mei and Pakura. He didn't add eagles to look after them as he needed all of the eagles to scout and update the situation.

Yahiko, who already recovered from killing bandits, was starting to get bored. With his energy, he really couldn't stay still. He decided to go out and explore the mountain a bit.

"Hey, you guys, wanna explore the mountain for a bit?"

"Genji-sensei told us not to venture anywhere. Are you going against his order, Yahiko?"

"Come one, Konan. It's just for stretching. We won't go too far. Besides, Genji-nii won't find out anything if we keep it silent."

"But still..."

"You know, if you two don't want, then I will just go by myself, humph." Yahiko snorted and went out to explore the mountain.

"Hey, Yahiko! Yahiko!" Nagato yelled to stop Yahiko. But Yahiko just didn't listen.

Compared to Gari or Genji, who is brutal enough to kick the ball of their friend to knock him out, Nagato and Konan were just too kind and pure. With no choice, Nagato and Konan went to chase Yahiko.

"Hey, it's getting late. We should head back now." Nagato told Yahiko after hours of exploring.

"Yea, Nagato is right. If we keep going further, we might get lost. Genji-sensei might also come back. Let's get back." Konan supported Nagato.

Yahiko immediately agreed as soon as he heard Genji was coming back. But then, as they were about to retreat, they overheard the female voice.

---

"Hurry up, Shizune. We were spotted by that bastard's eagle. He might run away anytime."

"But Tsunade-sama, we have been running for hours straight. I'm just 9 years old. Let me get a break."

To Shizune's begging, Tsunade couldn't just heartlessly reject it. Tsunade paused for a moment and suddenly looked around the area.

"Tch, alright. You are right, Shizune. I was too harsh on you. Let's have a rest then. While you are resting, I will clean out some rats who like to eavesdrop!!"

Tsunade then picked up the rocks and threw at the Yahiko and the other 2's side. Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato managed to dodge the rocks but were forced to show themselves at Tsunade.

"Woah, pretty lady. No need to be aggressive. We were just exploring the mountain and heard the voice. Well, curiosity got better of us." Nagato calmly explained the situation to Tsunade.

But for Tsunade, when she saw the three of them, her grin was threatening to split her face. Next, she started to laugh like a mad scientist.

"UheheheheheheeBwhahahahahahahahahaMwhahahahaha~~~"

Yahiko just looked at Tsunade strangely and asked Shizune.

"Hey, did she hit her head? Is she mental? Just break out from the mental hospital?"

Shizune couldn't reply to Yahiko as she also thought Tsunade suddenly became crazy. She had no idea why Tsunade was laughing.

Then Tsunade suddenly stopped laughing and questioned Yahiko.

"You three are wearing Iwa headbands, so I already you three are Genin team. Can you do me a favor and tell your Sensei name?"

Konan and Nagato tried to sop Yahiko, but it was too late.

"Our Sensei? Sure. He is called Genji!" Yahiko spoke without any thoughts.

"Yahiko! What are you doing? Didn't our Sensei tell us not to trust any outsiders a few days ago?" Konan quickly warned Yahiko.

But it was too late as Tsunade confirmed these three were students of Genji. Thinking she is going to have her revenge finally, she couldn't stop laughing.

"Hey, miss. Do you know our Sensei?" Nagato asked carefully.

"Oh, definitely. I know your Sensei. We have known each other for 5 years now. How could I forget him so easily when he killed my lover and brother!!!!!!"

Tsunade then launched the straight jab at Nagato. She was too fast for three genins, and Nagato went flying. Konan immediately went to Nagato to save him while Yahiko was too shocked to move. Shizune immediately ran away far away to avoid.

"What the hell are you doing, bitch!!! We didn't hurt you!! How dare you hurt my friend!!"

"As long as I capture you 3 shits, I am sure that Genji bastard will come to me himself. Then, I will kill him to fulfill my revenge."

Yahiko angrily took out his two swords and went for Wing Chun sword style.

"Bitch, I will kill you now!"

"Oh, that style. So you really are Genji's student. Hehehe."

Yahiko could open his eyes but couldn't move at all. He never faced such a terrifying opponent in his life. Just one punch was enough to put him down. There he realized how weak he was and regretted how deeply for nor listening to Genji.

'If only I hadn't suggested going out, none of this would happen. I am sorry, Nagato, Konan. I made all of us die! Damn it, I am so weak!!

Suddenly Yahiko started to get a series of the flashback. Yes, Yahiko has finally activated the condition of anime flashback power!!!

He eventually remembered the 2 tricks taught by Genji. Since he is already messed shit, he decided to try it out no matter how idiotic they were.

With his will and SCREAM, he managed to stand up from Tsunade's blow slowly. He slowly breathed in and shouted at Tsunade.

"Hey, bitch!! Where the fuċk are you going? I am still standing. Your punch tickles me!"

Tsunade got surprised that Yahiko managed to stand up after receiving her punch. But that was it.

"Oh, so you stood up? Seems like I underestimated you a bit. But it doesn't matter as you will go down again."

But Yahiko just ignored her and spoke the magic words.

"I need to become stronger to protect my friends and those dear to me!!!! Come on, give me strength!!"

Yahiko could feel the power of friendship entering his body. Without a second thought, Yahiko coated the wind chakra on his swords and channeled lightning on his legs. He then stomped the smoke bomb.

"Wind Style: Wind slash!"

Yahiko created wind slash from his swords while charging out from the smoke. Tsunade just jumped to dodge the Yahiko's wind slash.

Yahiko then immediately struck Tsunade from her side, but Tsunade dodged and counterpunched Yahiko.

She thought it was over until she saw Yahiko managed to block her punch with his swords. Yahiko then kept attacking Tsunade consecutively.

Yahiko somehow managed to block Tsunade's further 3 attacks successively. But no matter how he tried, Tsunade and his gap were too large.

Tsunade's next punch finally connected to Yahiko's face, or that's what she thought until Yahiko turned into a log. Just as Tsunade was about to praise Yahiko, she saw there was an explosion paper attached to the log.

She immediately jumped out of its range. Just as she thought she was safe, the surface below her cracked, and Yahiko jumped out of it.

Yahiko didn't hesitate and slashed towards Tsunade. Although Tsunade managed to evade, Yahiko managed to slice a few bits of her hair. This time, Tsunade was really surprised.

"Oh my! I really did underestimate you. You really are Genji's student. If you are from Konoha, then you are definitely considered as Genius. But that's all what if. Enough playing around. Since you are Iwa shinobi and Genji's student, I will end your life here. Just blame your worse fate!"

This time Tsunade moved with insane speed for Yahiko and punched him with all her 50%. Yahiko took a direct hit and broke all his ribs. He instantly coughed blood without stopping.

Tsunade stood in front of Yahiko and ready to give him one final death punch.

"Farewell, this will be my first revenge on Genji. Blame your damn fate for having rotten Sensei."

But Yahiko didn't back out and screamed at Tsunade.

"Fuck you, Crazy bitch!! I will definitely become a ghost and haunt your life forever!!"

"Sorry, my life is already haunted. Now die!"

Tsunade struck the last punch on Yahiko.

*BAAAANNNNGGGG*

Yahiko thought he was dead, but he didn't feel any pain from her attack. When he opened his eye, he saw familiar back in front of him.

"So how was it, Yahiko. I told you those 2 tricks will definitely help you, didn't I? You did a great job of stalling her until now. Don't worry about Konan and Nagato. Just rest and leave everything to me now." Genji smiled at Yahiko.

Yahiko shed tears of happiness and relief. The next moment, he immediately fell unconscious.

"So you finally showed up, huh? Genji!!"

"It seems like you have done a great deal of beating my students, you crazy bitch. Usually, I would avoid fighting you, but this time, it seems like I have to give you some proper teaching."

Genji pushed Tsunade away and summoned eagles to take Yahiko to a safe place.

"Now, I am ready. Come at me, you bitch!"
