"Tsunade?"
Jiraiya, who had left and then returned, suddenly remembered that there was something else he needed to do.
When he returned to the entrance of the Hokage's Office, the door had been closed at some point.
Thus.
Jiraiya knocked on the door.
Knock, knock.
Inside the office, Tsunade, who was fighting Hyuga Sho, heard the sound.
Her body suddenly jolted.
"Lord Hokage, shall I open the door?"

Caught off guard, Tsunade had never expected Hyuga Sho to attack at this moment.
"Ughh~!"
Tsunade clenched her teeth and suddenly swung her arm.
Hyuga Sho grabbed her wrist, leaving her Monster Strength with nowhere to go.

Tsunade was busy fighting Hyuga Sho and did not dare let herself get distracted.
Hyuga Sho continued using Eight Trigrams Palms.
Tsunade, struck by the attack, continued to slam violently into the door.
"Tsunade...
