"Impossible."
"Don't want!"
Naruto shook his head, looking at Tsunade with a hint of disdain.
"Even if we could win, we only have one teacher."
Upon hearing this, even Sasuke and the others nodded in agreement.
This surprised Tsunade, who hadn't taken it too seriously at first.
She couldn't help but look at Hagoromo in surprise; she really hadn't expected that Hagoromo held such an important place in the hearts of these children.
"You don't know who I am?"
Tsunade pointed to himself, looking at everyone with curiosity.
Naruto and the others shook their heads, while Shikamaru looked distressed.
"You! You brat from the Nara Clan, talk to them."
Tsunade immediately noticed Shikamaru's strange expression and gave him instructions.
The characteristics of the Nara Clan are too obvious.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Shikamaru had no choice but to start explaining to his friends.
"Hey!"
"Really?!"
Naruto and Sasuke were stunned; the woman before them was incredibly powerful.
"That's not right. If he was already very talented more than ten years ago, why is he still so young now?"
"Shouldn't it be an old woman?"
Forehead--
Even Hagoromo has to admire Naruto's sharp tongue; doesn't he know age is a taboo subject?
The lively atmosphere instantly quieted down, and Shikamaru and the others quickly retreated.
Only Naruto had just said those words, remained, looking at everyone with an innocent expression.
What did you do?
"Hey kid, what did you just say?"
Naruto was in a daze, suddenly felt a chill run down his back, and cold sweat involuntarily poured down his back.
"This... Lady Tsunade, your grandmother was from the Uzumaki Clan?"
Karin, looking conflicted, came to Naruto's rescue.
"Well, yes, so what I really want to ask is whether you'd be willing to become my disciple?"
Tsunade didn't bother arguing with Naruto, so she slapped Naruto on the back of the head and turned to Karin to ask.
Hagoromo Yi crossed his arms, showing he was in no hurry.
After all, Karin really can't go with Tsunade right now.
At this moment, she prefers to stay in one place rather than wander around.
As expected, Karin remained silent for a while before shaking her head.
Seeing this, Tsunade and looked at Hagoromo with displeasure, saying, "Kid, let's have a fight!"
Then, they headed towards the center of the training ground.
Seeing Hagoromo, Yu Yi reluctantly followed, and after looking around the training ground, she spoke.
"Senior sister, isn't that unnecessary?"
This training ground was specially set up by Hagoromo for training purposes; it's going to be destroyed by Tsunade's punch later.
That's all money!
"Why are you talking so much!"
Chakra from her Tsunade and sped toward Hagoromo's location.
Chakra burst forth from his hands, unleashing Chakra flames, and his fist slammed down with immense force.
Hagoromo sighed, then pushed and pulled with both hands.
He used the Eight Trigrams Step to circle around Tsunade. Upon seeing this, Tsunade raised an eyebrow, sidestepped, swept her body, and then threw another punch.
This time, Hagoromo didn't dodge. He reached out and caught Tsunade's fist, then pulled it away.
Tsunade staggered forward, looking at Hagoromo in disbelief.
"Gentle Fist?"
"No, Gentle Fist doesn't work like that."
Tsunade, having voiced her guess, immediately rejected it the next second.
"Your footwork is strange too. Even with just a tiny amount of Chakra, it managed to deflect me."
"Moreover, all the movements utilize an arc-shaped trajectory to generate force, thus deflecting the force of my punch."
It must be said, they truly live up to their reputation as one of the Sannin; after just a few moves...
He directly explained the attack of the Hagoromo, which is the core concept of the 'Eight Trigrams Gentle Spiral Strike Style'.
"Senior sister has a discerning eye; it is indeed a move I created by combining Gentle Fist with Inch Force."
Hagoromo chuckled softly and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Looks like I underestimated you. I'll have to get serious from now on!"
As she spoke, Tsunade took off her green outer robe and threw it in the direction of Shizune.
Whoosh--
Tsunade leaped forward and suddenly appeared in front of Hagoromo.
His fist unleashed an even more powerful Chakra than before, and Hagoromo knew that Tsunade was determined to fight him no matter what.
Unperturbed, Hagoromo, though arriving late, condensed Chakra in his right fist and slammed it towards Tsunade's fist.
Boom--
The two streams of Chakra collided, creating a ring-shaped shockwave that exploded outwards.
Click--
The ground beneath Hagoromo and Tsunade could not withstand the force and instantly collapsed, cracking in all directions and shattering into countless fragments.
This kid...
Tsunade looked at the Hagoromo in front of her, surprised that he also possessed Monster Strength.
Moreover, they can directly confront each other in the same way, and even limit the attack range of the two to a certain extent.
Otherwise, the entire training ground would have collapsed long ago from the impact of their fists.
Without further hesitation, Tsunade unleashed her full power, and the two of them moved around the training ground.
The ground crumbled, and the earth and rocks trembled.
Naruto and the others had long since left the training ground, watching the two figures in the field, almost blurred from view.
"So strong..."
Naruto's mouth opened involuntarily as he spoke.
"Hmm, not only is it strong, but it's also incredibly fast."
Sasuke nodded solemnly; this situation was even more dramatic than the last time he confronted that Jonin.
Shikamaru's mouth dropped open slightly, even though he knew Tsunade's reputation.
But they never imagined it would be so terrifying, with each of them facing two figures in the arena.
They can be dealt with in an instant; this is a gap that tactics cannot bridge.
In the arena, Hagoromo, somewhat helplessly, blocked Tsunade's fist once again; the Tsunade before him was acting very strangely.
If he understands correctly, Tsunade now...
I'm so excited!
Thinking of this, Hagoromo couldn't help but smile bitterly, at being able to make such a great name for herself.
And who among them isn't competitive?
Alright, since my senior sister is so interested, he has to take it seriously.
A whirlwind kick forced Tsunade back, and Hagoromo's fist was immediately covered with gray-black Yang Release Armament.
"Senior sister, be careful, or it will hurt a lot!"
Call out--
Before she could finish speaking, Hagoromo's entire figure vanished from the spot.
Although Tsunade didn't know what was covering Hagoromo's fist, she keenly sensed something was amiss.
Tsunade immediately retreated; at this moment, she had to switch from offense to defense.
Thud--
A whooshing sound rang out, and in the next instant Tsunade raised her hands to block.
"Monster Strength - Gear Third!"
"What!"
Tsunade, who had blocked the punch, instantly changed her expression. The next moment, a tremendous force pressed down on her.
Boom--
Tsunade's entire body rolled out, and the ground cracked open with the force of the impact.
The force of the impact completely dissipated after it had knocked down about ten giant trees.
"Cough--"
Tsunade stood up, looked at herself in horror, and froze.
"Whispering sound--"
"That kid almost killed me."
