Thunder God's Sword?
That sounds vaguely familiar.
Natsume instinctively looked toward Tsunade.
His first thought was of the Thunder God who wielded the Unthinking Sword Strike.
Yeah, this technique suited Tsunade quite well.
"The Thunder God's Sword is a ninja tool once used by my granduncle, Tobirama Senju."

"Old man, give him my share of the reward too."
Tsunade spoke up. "I
