God of the Multiverse: A Shinobi's Destiny

Chapter 17

"If the two of you want to keep your hands attached, then I suggest removing them." Shinku's voice lowered, turning eerie and cold as he pressed Jiraya's head with more force.

The muffled yells of the white-haired teen made Tsunade grit her teeth in frustration. While she was confident she could match Shinku in strength, his speed was on another level entirely.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, sighed while releasing Shinku and moved to soak once more.

Tsunade offered her squad mate a glare for the lack of help but soon retracted her hold as well.

"Let him go."

"Why should I? I can crush his head right now, and even the Hokage wouldn't be able to stop me." Shinku shifted his gaze to the blonde. His cold crimson eyes were filled with annoyance at the three.

"..." Tsunade lowered her head and bit her lower lip as she inwardly cursed Jiraya's recklessness and Orochimaru for suggesting the man could be trusted.. Now, she was only able to watch as the man crushed her comrades' skull before her.

Normally... one would only watch in fear of being next...

Balling her fists, Tsunade had no intention of watching Idly.

'There just kids, Shinku, let it go.' Sighing, Shinku released the pressure on Jiraiya as he transferred enough chakra into his wounds to produce a healing effect.

"Hyah!"

'Huh?'

Shinku had already lowered his guard against the two behind him, figuring that Orochimaru understood simply killing Jiraiya wasn't his style, and he would have at worst would have temporarily crippled him.

Not knowing much about the Senju princess, Shinku figured she would be shaken up by the sight and freeze.

So, leaving himself open to the two, he hadn't been actively sensing his surroundings with chakra either when something more than unexpected came flying his way.

Instinctively, though, Shinku moved to leap into the air when he suddenly felt like he was hit by an Iwa Shinobi... a very small fisted Iwa Shinobi.

Shinku was launched out of the water as he maneuvered mid-air to land back on his feet just at the edge of the other side of the hot spring as he held his right ribs in pain.

'Damn, little monster.'

Shooting an annoyed glare at the scowling Tsunade, Shinku couldn't help but think of how much of a monster the girl would become in the future with her strength alone.

"We may fight every now and again, but I'll be damned if I let you kill him!" Tsunade shouted, and with a downward punch, she caused the water to burst out and block Shinku's vision.

"Great idea... if I was reliant on my eyes." Shinku smirked as he threw a punch towards his left, colliding with Tsunade's incoming fist.

As their fists connected, Shinku leg sweeped, forcing Tsunade to fall backward before rolling out if the way of an axe kicked aimed for her head.

"Is head the only thing you know?!"

Tsunade shouted as she leaped back onto her feet and delivered a round house kick for Shinku's side. 

Catching her ankle with a smirk, Shinku lifted her up to slam her down when her other foot came around and knocked into the back of his head.

Shinku released his hold on her ankle, allowing Tsunade to leap back and follow up with a straight punch to the chest.

Shinku couldn't hold back his grin at this point, finding their fight exciting as he sidestepped her fist and struck his knee into her solarplexus.

"Ugh!"
