Buzz—
Tsunade was covered in burning blue Chakra flames, her blonde hair flying wildly due to the Chakra fluctuations.
To describe it using Chihiro's words from the monitoring screen, she looked exactly like the Ninja World's version of a Super Saiyan.
Except, it wasn't emitting golden light.
Determination radiated from Tsunade's beautiful eyes.
Even when facing the Wood Release that her grandfather once used to suppress the Ninja World, she showed no sign of backing down.
Moreover, in her grandfather's hands, the Wood Release could suppress the Ninja World.
But in Nawaki's hands, that wasn't necessarily the case.
Tsunade clenched her fists, and the crisp sound of cracking bones immediately rang out.
She said in a deep voice, "Nawaki, don't think that just because you've achieved the Awakening of Wood Release, you can show off in front of your older sister!"
Senju Nawaki scratched his head. Is this woman crazy?
Who is your little brother? How many times has he told her, why won't she listen!
Just then, Tsunade's mouth suddenly curved up, the blue Chakra flame flashed, and her entire body instantly turned into an afterimage.
When she reappeared, she was already behind Senju Nawaki.
Tsunade glared, and a powerful, heavy axe kick smashed down mercilessly from above!
Whoosh—
A fierce whistling sound echoed from above.
Painful Heavenly Foot!
Just as the axe kick smashed onto Senju Nawaki's back, trees grew wildly from his Zanpakuto, rapidly condensing into a shield behind him.
Bang!!
A dull sound exploded over Konoha!
Tsunade chopped down on the wooden shield with her foot, her expression unchanged, seemingly unfazed by the failure of the attack.
She suddenly grinned, mocking him, "That's it? Is that how you use your grandfather's Wood Release?"
Under Senju Nawaki's slightly surprised gaze, Tsunade increased the force and Chakra in her leg.
Creak, creak—
The wooden shield emitted sounds of being overwhelmed.
Suddenly, the wooden shield made a faint cracking sound, then quickly fractured, and finally burst open with a bang!
Boom!!
Along with the scattered wood splinters, Tsunade's axe kick finally shattered the wooden shield and heavily struck Senju Nawaki's body!
With a crash, the ground made a heavy sound.
The paved stone road instantly formed a crater under the impact of Tsunade's strength, kicking up dust!
Senju Nawaki, who possessed the Wood Release, was defeated by Tsunade just like that, leaving everyone present stunned.
It was as if an unbreakable myth in their hearts had cracked.
"No, that's Lady Tsunade for you!"
"So what if he has Wood Release? Lady Tsunade is also the granddaughter of the First Hokage!"
"It's only right and proper for an older sister to hit her little brother!"
"As expected of Lady Tsunade, who holds the title of Konoha Three Great Shinobi!"
The last sentence reached the ears of Tsunade and Orochimaru, causing their expressions to darken.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved when he saw Tsunade display such divine power.
It seemed that the Wood Release mastered by Senju Nawaki might not be as outrageous as the Shodai(1st)-sama's?
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. Nawaki's Wood Release wasn't skilled enough yet... Almost every Konoha Ninja who witnessed this violent kick believed that Senju Nawaki must have been severely injured.
Only the Uzushigakure side remained unmoved.
Especially Gin, who had taught Senju Nawaki, his smile widened.
"You really shouldn't underestimate Nawaki~"
Hearing Gin's words, everyone was suddenly startled.
They then realized that even though Nawaki had taken a heavy blow from Tsunade's Painful Heavenly Foot, they hadn't shown any worry.
Could it be?
No, impossible!
Even Jiraiya-sama, who is one of the Konoha Three Great Shinobi, would need to lie in the Konoha Hospital for several months after taking a hit like that from Lady Tsunade.
They had seen this kind of thing often in Konoha, which is why they were so confident in Lady Tsunade's Monstrous Strength.
But the person involved did not share their confidence.
Tsunade, having shown her big sister authority, finally vented some of her displeasure.
But clearly, she also understood that that single blow couldn't do much to Nawaki.
She didn't trust Nawaki's ability, but she trusted her grandfather's Wood Release.
Sure enough, once the dust settled, Senju Nawaki's completely unharmed appearance was revealed to everyone.
Beneath him, gigantic hands made of wood lifted him up, protecting him from any harm.
"Whoa, that was terrifying, I felt like I almost died!"
Nawaki patted his chest, looking deeply shaken.
If I had been hit by that blow just now, my internal organs would probably have been shattered!
"But, my Zanpakuto definitely won't lose to anyone~"
As the words fell, Nawaki, holding his Zanpakuto, swung it toward Tsunade.
"Apprehend her, Flower Tree World!"
Tsunade's expression suddenly changed. The ground of the entire Konoha village began to shake as if a Subterranean Dragon was stirring.
"What happened?"
The sudden change made everyone panic and lose their composure.
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw this and commanded: "Gather your Chakra at the soles of your feet, and try to maintain your balance!"
As if they had found their backbone, the Konoha Ninja quickly followed Hokage-sama's instructions.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemnly at Nawaki, feeling deeply unsettled that a simple wave of his hand could cause such a massive impact on Konoha.
Orochimaru frowned and whispered, "Something is coming..."
Tsunade frowned deeply, a sudden panic rising in her heart, and instinctively left her spot.
Boom!!
Almost instantly, a gigantic hand covered in flowers, grass, and trees erupted from the ground where Tsunade had just been!
Sarutobi Hiruzen gasped when he saw the appearance of the giant hand.
"Is that Shodai(1st)-sama's Kōan Nitten Suishu?!"
Kōan Nitten Suishu?
Tsunade shook her head. She had seen the Wood Release Ninjutsu scrolls left by her grandfather.
Although the manifestation of this giant hand was very similar to Kōan Nitten Suishu, its purpose and effect were completely different.
Instead, it was somewhat similar to a violent Ninjutsu like Chōjō Kebutsu, but using only one hand.
Before Tsunade could seriously contemplate, another giant hand of the same size erupted from the ground beneath her feet.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Tsunade's eyes. She instinctively shielded herself with her arms, and with a loud boom, she was instantly slapped away by the giant hand!
RUMBLE!!
Tsunade's body crashed into a stone-tiled house. The house instantly collapsed, raising a cloud of dust!
"Lady Tsunade!"
Other Shinobi saw this and grew worried.
It seems Wood Release is indeed troublesome.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
"Cough, cough!"
Tsunade's coughing could be heard from within the smoke and dust.
She crawled out from under the collapsed tiles, covered in dust, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, looking somewhat disheveled.
A hint of green faintly rose within the blue Chakra flame.
The cursed markings on her forehead from releasing the Yin Seal had expanded slightly again.
This type of Wood Release seems much more flexible than the Wood Release recorded by her grandfather.
She silently recovered her injuries, contemplating the information about Wood Release left by her grandfather.
Fortunately, Nawaki seems to have only recently Awakened, and his use of Wood Release is still crude.
Otherwise... Fortunately, there is still room to maneuver!
