Guiding Jonin Tsunade

The current graduation exams are much stricter than before, in addition to the traditional content, there are also tests for practical combat ability and basic theory.

But for Ueno Juri's students, this was a piece of cake. All of them passed the exams smoothly and easily, truly becoming ninjas.

Upon hearing this news, Ueno Juri fell into a moment of silence, unsure if it was good news or bad.

If it were in the past, he would have wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate immediately, but now Teacher Ueno only hoped these students could be safe and happy.

After the exams, everyone was waiting for their Jonin instructors to arrive. Ueno Juri had left the classroom a long time ago, and now everyone was talking, the scene somewhat chaotic.

"Matsuba, do you know who our instructor will be?" Kushina nudged Hyuga Matsuba and whispered.

"I can't predict the future, so I don't know either." Hyuga Matsuba found Kushina's question very boring.

The three of them were still together after the new team assignments, whether it was intentional or fate.

"Boring, can't you even guess?" Kushina pouted.

"Well, the few people I know are Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya. I can't say for sure who will be the team leader."

"Maybe Sister Tsunade will teach us?" Mikoto chimed in.

"The three of us being together again after team assignments is already a miracle. Tsunade definitely won't be our teacher; she hasn't even dealt with this kind of thing." Hyuga Matsuba was a bit speechless.

"Oh? It seems you still have some opinion of me." Tsunade suddenly walked into the classroom.

"No way, Sister, why are you here? You can teach students?" Nawaki was the first to voice his opinion.

"Do you want a beating? Don't you know my strength? And this is a school, you shouldn't call me 'Sister'; you should call me 'Teacher'." Tsunade frowned, a little annoyed.

Nawaki immediately composed himself. His sister might have violent tendencies, and if he continued, his life might be in danger.

"Hey, you three, come out." With that, Tsunade left.

Hyuga Matsuba rubbed his head and turned to the two girls, "Let's go. I didn't expect Mikoto to be like a prophet, saying something and it happening."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect your teacher to be my sister, huh? You guys are in for it now." Nawaki laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight, feeling that the three of them were truly pitiful.

"Bang!" A small stone flew from a distance and accurately hit Nawaki on the head.

"If you act so arrogant in school again, I'll deal with you when we get home!" Tsunade said from afar. Nawaki was now the most pitiable person in the class.

"Sigh, what's that saying? Don't celebrate too early. Let's hurry up and go!"

Following Tsunade's footsteps, the three arrived at the training ground.

"You're all old acquaintances, so there's no need for introductions. However, I still want to see how high your skill levels are, so I can get a sense of it," Tsunade said slowly.

"No problem, I was just looking for a chance to show off. Sister, do you want to spar with me?" Kushina's eyes lit up.

"No problem." Tsunade readily agreed. Hyuga Matsuba might be stronger than her, but against this little girl, Tsunade was confident she could win.

Tsunade had reached Jonin level at this time. Thinking about it, Kushina's strength was nothing special. Tsunade was confident she would be stronger than Kushina.

But to her surprise, this little girl was not weak; she was much stronger than Tsunade herself at that age.

"Fuinjutsu: Adamantine Sealing Chains!" Kushina summoned six chakra chains and attacked Tsunade.

The chakra chains creaked in the air. Five chains surrounded Tsunade, while the sixth one lunged at her.

"Mikoto, let's both attack. Otherwise, I'll lose. Matsuba, you watch from the side."

Kushina felt that with Mikoto's help, their chances of winning might increase.

Hyuga Matsuba raised an eyebrow, leaped into the air, and moved far away to spectate.

Mikoto readily agreed. She had already transformed, and a hint of resilience was added to her gentleness.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!" Mikoto attacked swiftly, summoning countless ninjutsu in a short period.

The two girls' attacks rushed towards Tsunade from all directions, making it seem like Tsunade was doomed.

Seeing the techniques the two girls unleashed, Tsunade finally realized they had truly grown up.

Tsunade summoned air blades to slice through the chakra chains and then summoned a water wall to block the fire dragon.

Kushina's chakra chains were blasted into the air, almost breaking.

Then, the two girls began to cooperate. Kushina surrounded Tsunade, while Mikoto attacked proactively. Combining taijutsu and genjutsu, they even managed to fight Tsunade to a draw.

"To possess the Three Tomoe form at such a young age, even within the entire Uchiha Clan, she's among the best." Tsunade was very pleased with the girls' progress.

Tsunade had never seen children reach this level at this age before. If Mikoto continued to develop, she might reach Madara Uchiha's level.

Tsunade had witnessed the terrifying power of the Mangekyo five years ago; the Susanoo was a nightmare. If Mikoto were to awaken the Mangekyo in the future, her own status as a teacher would be that of a defeated opponent.

"Stop! We can end it now."

Recognizing the girls' skill level, Tsunade ceased the spar.

"Huh? I haven't finished yet." Kushina, still eager, withdrew her hands and pouted, standing still.

"There's no need. I just wanted to know your current level. You are very powerful now. I've never seen such strong children before; I can't beat you." Tsunade nodded with a smile.

"Matsuba is even stronger." Mikoto looked towards Hyuga Matsuba.

"Matsuba?" Tsunade followed Mikoto's gaze and said leisurely, "He's a monster."

Before graduation, Tsunade had already been defeated by Hyuga Matsuba. After so much time, Hyuga Matsuba must have reached an unimaginable level.

Tsunade understood that as a quasi-Kage, she still couldn't defeat Hyuga Matsuba.

"Sister, why does what you're saying not sound like a compliment?" Hyuga Matsuba flew over from a distance, feigning a wronged tone.

"Haha, it's good that you understand yourself," Tsunade's eyes were full of amusement.

"Then I don't have anything else to teach you. Your skill level is already high enough; you just lack combat experience. That's something you'll have to gain on your own. As your teacher, there's nothing more I can do to help," Tsunade said with a serious expression.

Being a teacher for her was truly simple. She didn't have to worry about her students; she could just take them along on missions and let them learn on the battlefield.
