Naruto: Extreme Bloodline Limit

"Cough, cough!!"

It felt as though his internal organs had been twisted together. Ronglin coughed dryly, nearly unable to catch his breath.

"Gasp!!"

Everything had happened too quickly. By the time he reacted, Ronglin had already been knocked to the ground and sent sliding a long distance!

Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu sucked in sharp breaths and quickly retreated before helping Ronglin up. "Uchiha Ronglin, are you okay?"

"What do you think?"

Looking at Tsunade, who stood not far away as though she had done nothing at all, Ronglin was speechless. Wasn't this just an assessment? Did she have to be this serious? If every teacher were like this, hardly any students would be able to graduate.

After all, if the teacher in charge was dissatisfied with you during the assessment, then sorry—you could only go back for retraining and wait for next year's chance.

So she really was targeting me!

Tsunade's gaze had lingered on him most of the time. Ronglin understood that today's assessment was less of a team test and more of an individual test meant specifically for him.

Except everyone else's individual assessment involved fighting a genin, while his...

"You two attack from the flanks. I'll draw her attention!!"

Ronglin did not know what kind of performance counted as passing. Right now, all he could do was give it everything he had.

Using both the Byakugan and Sharingan at once consumed a great deal of Ronglin's energy. What left him helpless was that even though he could somewhat observe Tsunade's movements, he still could not defend against her.

Even if you knew she might attack from a certain direction, it was useless if your body could not keep up with your thoughts. Then there was Tsunade's unparalleled strength.

Even the Raikage, renowned for his monstrous physique, seemed unable to match her. One could imagine just how terrifying Tsunade's strength was.

Still, it made Ronglin covet the Monster Strength Technique immensely. With that thing, close-quarters combat would be insanely powerful. Unfortunately, trying to get it from Tsunade would probably be difficult.

"Alright!!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu nodded and agreed, coordinating with Ronglin to attack from the flanks.

The three did not split up. Given the formidable strength Tsunade had displayed, she could deal with them with ease. Even together, they would be effortlessly defeated; if they scattered, they would have no hope at all. Though Ronglin had never even considered taking the bells from Tsunade's belt.

The Ninja Academy emphasized cultivating teamwork and closeness among its students. Only in this way could they entrust their backs to their teammates during all manner of future missions.

Unfortunately, freshly graduated genin needed to go through plenty of setbacks before they could understand that principle.

Therefore, no matter the result of the assessment, Ronglin would strengthen the team's cooperation.

The three immediately sprang into action, launching attacks from different directions.

Tsunade watched everything unfold, but her expression did not change in the slightest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Almost at the same instant, three dull impacts rang out. The trio was sent flying outright. Trying to take the bells?

That was nothing but a fool's dream.

Originally, Ronglin had thought Kakashi was strict, but compared with Tsunade, he was practically nothing. Even the Taijutsu Secret Technique: Thousand Years of Death seemed laughably weak by comparison.

That really hurt!
