Chapter 133: Wants Some Roasted Raikage?
"B*****d… go to hell!" A roared, his booming voice shaking the walls of the meeting hall. His massive fist shot forward, a thunderous punch aimed directly at Gojo Satoru, the enigma who had managed to irritate every Kage in one way or another.
Gojo, standing in the center of the chaos, seemed utterly unfazed. His iconic smirk remained firmly in place, as if mocking not just the Raikage but the entire concept of tension. With his white hair gleaming under the sunlight streaming through the shattered window, he looked more like a mischievous deity than a shinobi.
As the fist approached, crackling with raw power, time itself seemed to hesitate. Inches before it could connect, Raikage's punch halted abruptly, as if an invisible barrier had frozen it in place. The sheer force caused a shockwave, sending papers and debris flying across the room.
Gojo tilted his head slightly, brushing a nonexistent speck of dust from his pristine coat. "Raikage-sama," he drawled, his tone dripping with mockery, "was that supposed to hurt me? Or were you just warming up your shoulder?"
The room fell silent. Every shinobi present exchanged nervous glances. Even Tsunade, known for her unshakeable composure, blinked in disbelief. The audacity of Gojo's words was matched only by the terrifying power he casually displayed.
Raikage growled, his muscles straining as he tried to push past the invisible force holding his fist. "You... insolent brat!"
Gojo sighed dramatically, raising two fingers with a flourish. "Fine, fine. Let's make this entertaining." His grin widened, and his cerulean eyes gleamed with mischief. "How about we build a coffin and cremate you, Raikage-sama? Free of charge."
Before anyone could process his words, the ground rumbled. Flames erupted from beneath A's feet, spiraling into a roaring inferno. The fire engulfed him, its intensity rivaling that of a top-tier Fire Style jutsu. The heat was so immense that the nearby walls began to char.
"Gaaah!" The Raikage stumbled out of the flames moments later, his once-pristine robes singed and blackened. Smoke billowed from his scorched hair, and his chest heaved as he struggled to regain his composure. Despite his injuries, his glare was as fierce as ever. "You... bastard!"
Gojo clapped his hands theatrically, as though concluding a magic trick. "And that, my esteemed audience, is what happens when you don't play by the rules." He turned to the assembled shinobi, flashing his most charming grin. "Oh, and don't worry. I'll swing by Kumogakure when I'm ready to borrow the Eight-Tails. You're welcome."
The crowd stared in stunned silence. Temari, who had been observing from the sidelines, whispered under her breath, "So... this is Gojo Satoru. He's even more terrifying than the rumors."
Meanwhile, Tsunade stormed over, her expression a mix of exasperation and concern. "Gojo! What the hell was that? Are you trying to start a war?"
Gojo clutched his stomach dramatically, stumbling toward her. "Tsuna-obaasan! My abdomen... it's killing me!" His tone was theatrical, and his smirk never wavered.
Tsunade's brows furrowed, her instincts as a medic kicking in. Her hands glowed with healing chakra as she reached out. "Where does it hurt? Here?" she asked, her voice tinged with genuine concern.
Gojo shook his head, his smirk growing. "Lower."
Tsunade's confusion deepened as she moved her hands slightly downward. The moment her fingers brushed something unexpected, realization dawned. Her face turned crimson. "Y-You pervert!"
Before Gojo could react, Tsunade's fist slammed into his stomach, sending him skidding across the floor. But to her frustration, he was laughing the entire time. "Come on, Tsuna! You know I'm only teasing."
"Idiot!" Tsunade barked, though the blush on her cheeks betrayed her. "I'm your adoptive mother, not your plaything!"
Gojo leaned against a pillar, rubbing his stomach. "If you say so, Princess." His smirk softened slightly. "But you know I'll always have your back, right?"
Tsunade huffed and turned away, though her ears burned red. "Hmph."
Nearby, Kurenai crossed her arms, glaring at the scene. "How do you manage to make every situation so... ridiculous, Gojo?" she muttered.
Gojo turned his gaze to her, his smirk returning in full force. "Ah, Kurenai-chan, don't tell me you're jealous. It's cute when you're tsundere."
"I am NOT jealous!" Kurenai snapped, her cheeks flushing. "Stop being so full of yourself!"
"Classic tsundere behavior," Gojo said with a chuckle, earning him an exasperated groan from Kurenai.
Terumi Mei-sama, who had been silently observing, finally spoke up. "Gojo Satoru, your ego is as insufferable as your power. Not every woman here is falling for your antics."
Gojo raised an eyebrow, his expression deadpan. "Don't worry, Mei-chan. Even if you twerked upside down in front of me, I'd still feel nothing."
A vein bulged on Mei's forehead as she clenched her fists. "You...!" she began, but after a deep breath, she turned on her heel. "One day, you'll regret your words."
As Mei stormed off, Kurotsuchi leaned closer to Akatsuchi, whispering, "Oh, so that's why these women hate each other. It's all Gojo's fault."
Meanwhile, Ohnoki groaned loudly as Akatsuchi helped him to his feet. "Damn it, my back... This is all that brat's fault! Medic! Someone get me a medic!"
Raikage, still smoldering, pushed Darui's helping hand away. "I don't need treatment. This is nothing but a scratch." He glared at Gojo. "But mark my words, you're not laying a finger on my brother."
Gojo waved dismissively. "Relax, A. I'll only borrow him when absolutely necessary."
"Borrow?! You arrogant—"
Mifune-dono stepped forward, his calm voice cutting through the tension. "Enough. The Five Kage Summit must proceed. Let us move to a new location."
As the group began to disperse, Gojo turned to Tsunade, ruffling her hair with a grin. "Don't worry, Princess. I won't let anyone bully you."
Tsunade smacked his hand away, her face red. "Stop treating me like a kid!"
Gojo laughed, his smirk firmly in place. "As you wish, Tsunade-hime."
The room buzzed with exasperation and disbelief, the chaos Gojo left in his wake proving, once again, that he was as unstoppable as he was infuriating.
