Ronglin could not help rolling his eyes. With a wry smile, he said, "There is a way, but unfortunately, it won't work on Tsunade."
"Why not?" Since there was a strategy, why did he say it was useless?
"Because before absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are nothing more than a thin sheet of paper—one poke and they tear."
Anyone who had watched Naruto knew Tsunade's fighting style. It was brutally violent; one punch from her could make your heart and liver tremble.
"Then don't we have any hope?" Yun Yuxi and Shimura Ou exclaimed.
"Did you think the title of Sannin was just blown out of proportion?" Ronglin shot the two of them a look. Seeing how dejected they were, he did not say much more. Honestly, he did not have any particularly good ideas. If the gap in strength between both sides was not too great, they could give it a try. But if the difference was enough to make you despair, then any strategy was worth nothing.
Ten minutes passed quickly. During that time, the three of them could do nothing but stare at one another. Ronglin felt that Tsunade would be serious; she would not casually let the three of them pass the test.
Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu, who had no ideas of their own, were equally helpless.
The ten minutes were soon completely wasted. Tsunade, who was gazing absentmindedly at the sky in the distance, had heard every word of their conversation. When she saw that Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu had no initiative at all and were relying entirely on Ronglin, she felt somewhat disappointed. However, Ronglin's analysis made her regard him a little more highly.
"Alright, time's up. Show me everything you've got. Let me see what you learned at the Ninja Academy."
Ten minutes was neither long nor short. To Tsunade, it was merely an instant, but for Ronglin and the other two, it was different. At this moment, those ten minutes had felt especially agonizing.
Most people graduating from the academy had this same conflicted mindset. They hoped for a powerful teacher to lead them, but they also worried that the test would be too difficult for them to pass.
At that moment, Ronglin and the other two were facing exactly that predicament.
Tsunade hung the bells at her waist and casually crooked a finger at the three of them.
"What do we do?"
Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu immediately looked to Ronglin. Ronglin was speechless.
Come on, I'm not a god, alright?
"What do we do? One word: attack!!"
Whoosh!!!
With a shout, several kunai flew from Ronglin's hand, each aimed at a different vital spot on Tsunade's body.
"..."
Ronglin had launched his attack the moment he shouted, catching Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu off guard before they came to their senses.
Their teammate, Ronglin, had already begun attacking while they were still standing there in a daze. That was obviously unacceptable.
Although they had only just met and had no coordination whatsoever, Ronglin's intent to attack had been obvious. Yet the two of them still froze for a moment, showing just how slow their reactions were.
"Oh~ Not bad. Though it's rather weak, it's quite good compared to children your age."
"Not good!!"
Tsunade's figure instantly blurred into an afterimage, brushing past several kunai. Ronglin, who had already activated his Sharingan and Byakugan, twitched at the corner of his mouth. A sharp gust of wind came at him from the side, but he had no time to react. His body could not keep up with his mind.
Bang!!
Ronglin, who had charged at the front, was sent flying back like a sandbag. He crashed heavily onto the ground, carving a long trail across it as he slid far away.
