"Tsunade, get out of there!"
By the time Uchiha Sōgetsu realized something was wrong and shouted a warning, it was already too late.
Inhale—exhale—
Tsunade clenched her delicate fists and released a long stream of air.
The next moment, Uchiha Sōgetsu noticed that the Chakra in every meridian throughout her body had explosively surged in an instant before condensing at the tip of her fist.
This was bad!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Uchiha Sōgetsu's pupils constricted. He hurriedly assumed a defensive stance.
Fine golden Dragon Scales quickly spread across the surface of his skin.
Monster Strength Fist!
BOOM!!!
The terrifying monstrous strength shattered the entire altar in an instant.
The cave walls and even the ground trembled, letting out groans of unbearable strain. Violent Chakra slammed into the earth as though it had been struck by a meteor, raising a shockwave visible to the naked eye. Carrying rubble and gusts of air, it was like a speeding train as it sent Uchiha Sōgetsu flying.
"Pfft—"
A spray of blood shot out.
He flew dozens of meters, plowing a trench several yards long through the ground and breaking several massive trees before finally coming to a stop.
Uchiha Sōgetsu felt agonizing pain throughout his bones, as though his organs had all been knocked out of place.
At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind: "No wonder Jiraiya spent three months in the hospital after taking one punch. This strength is way too terrifying."
Rumble, rumble.
The cave directly collapsed under Tsunade's punch of monstrous strength.
"What exactly happened? Why did Tsunade destroy the altar?"
Uchiha Sōgetsu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His gaze turned cold, anger rising in his heart as he stared fixedly toward the cave.
Soon, Tsunade staggered out of the collapsed ruins, stepping over broken stones.
"Tsunade?" Uchiha Sōgetsu's eyes narrowed, his brows furrowing deeply. "Wait, something's wrong."
His Spiritual Vision allowed him to directly see the state of a living being's inner spirit body.
Yet Tsunade's spirit body was currently wrapped in a black power, leaving her in a state resembling hypnosis.
"Uchi... ha."
From deep within the ruins came a hate-filled roar, like a vengeful ghost from the underworld demanding lives, echoing through the Senju Clan graveyard.
Hatred and rage that had been suppressed for who knew how many years erupted alongside violent Chakra.
BOOM!
Rubble burst apart, and dust scattered.
At the heart of the shattered altar deep within the ruins stood a completely naked girl.
Having been sealed in darkness without ever seeing daylight for who knew how many years, the girl's skin was pale as winter snow. Her unkempt black hair hung around her delicate oval face, and beneath her refined nose, her lips were pale and bloodless.
At first glance, she possessed a shattered beauty that evoked pity.
But the pitch-black, pinwheel-like pupils within those eyes, filled with astonishing hatred, made Uchiha Sōgetsu's heart tremble.
"Fuck... Mangekyō?!" Uchiha Sōgetsu immediately felt the pressure. This girl actually possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan!
"Uchiha!"
The girl's hatred soared to the heavens. Her eyes seemed to burn with flames as she stepped across the ruins and ascended to the highest point. Her pinwheel-like Mangekyō spun, and her icy killing intent was like a blade.
Though he knew it was dangerous, his instincts as a man still made him look twice.
The girl's pale jade feet stepped upon the rubble. Their graceful, rounded shape and five dainty toes, like tender pink buds, were slender, exquisite, and delicate, making one unable to resist wanting to play with them.
His gaze moved higher... No, it could not go any higher, or this would get censored.
After giving himself some comfort and calming down, Uchiha Sōgetsu tried to explain. "Wait, I think you might be misunderstanding something—"
BOOM!
Before he could finish, Tsunade shot toward him like a cannonball, shattering the surrounding ground.
Substitution Technique!
A severed log was smashed to pieces.
Tsunade abruptly turned her head, locked onto his position, and pursued him like a shadow. The Chakra gathered around her fist made even Uchiha Sōgetsu's heart tremble.
"Is she being controlled by Genjutsu?" Clearly, Tsunade was under the enemy's control. While dodging, Uchiha Sōgetsu thought of a solution.
He could not confront her head-on!
Not to mention that the Spectator Pathway lacked powerful offensive means in its early stages.
Tsunade's monstrous strength alone was enough to make him unable to withstand her. Even the defensive Dragon Scales of Sequence Six could not take one of her punches.
If he really took a punch, there might not be time to attend his own funeral feast.
Bang!
A punch grazed past his cheek.
The fierce wind it created was like a blade, tearing a bloody gash across Uchiha Sōgetsu's face.
"But as long as I don't get hit, it'll be fine." Uchiha Sōgetsu exhaled a breath of stale air. The black tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly, deeply reflecting Tsunade's every movement. From the way her muscles exerted force to the flow of Chakra through her tendons, he perfectly predicted her next move in his mind.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Tsunade's fists, carrying the fury of a violent storm, hammered relentlessly at Uchiha Sōgetsu.
The air erupted with explosive booms under her blows, the atmosphere tearing apart as her power raged wildly, as though it intended to destroy everything in front of her.
Yet Uchiha Sōgetsu, caught within that raging storm, was like a lone boat drifting with the waves upon the vast ocean. He let that power bombard the area around him while his body moved with it, as though dancing atop razor-sharp blades. One misstep, and he would be smashed to pieces.
The girl watching from the side suddenly formed hand seals and took a deep breath.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
BOOM!
A surging tidal wave of flames erupted, raising raging billows and directly swallowing them both.
The girl showed no concern for Tsunade whatsoever, continuously increasing her Chakra output. The flames pouring from her mouth grew ever more violent and turbulent, their color even approaching blazing white. The terrifying high temperature instantly scorched the earth, ignited the dense surrounding vegetation and trees, and sent scarlet flames soaring into the sky.
Half the night sky was dyed crimson.
Whoosh—
A figure darted out from the sea of fire. It was Uchiha Sōgetsu.
Relying on the defenses of his Dragon Scales, he had barely endured it and used the force to escape the flames.
But in the next second, Tsunade, her entire body aflame, charged at him once more like a fire demon, clearly intending to fight to the death.
"Strength of a Hundred Seal: Release!"
Tsunade formed hand seals, and the purple diamond mark on her forehead transformed into patterns that spread across her entire body.
The skin charred by flames peeled away at an incredible speed, revealing tender new skin beneath it, while the Chakra within her body surged by several times once again!
Infinite recovery combined with peerless monstrous strength... Uchiha Sōgetsu gritted his teeth, feeling immense pressure.
This was too troublesome. In a battle of endurance, he could not compete with Tsunade.
Uchiha Sōgetsu locked his gaze onto the girl and decided to change his target priority. He would deal with the source first!
"Fire Style: Great Fireball!"
A massive fireball burst from his mouth and flew toward the girl amid the ruins.
Tsunade suddenly changed direction, maneuvered through the air, and kicked off a tree thick enough to require several people to embrace. Using the rebound force, she charged into the Great Fireball's path.
"Monster Strength Fist!"
She threw a punch and directly shattered the fireball with overwhelmingly tyrannical force.
However, at the instant the fireball shattered—
Uchiha Sōgetsu suddenly used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared before Tsunade, the three tomoe in his eyes spinning frantically.
Without hesitation, he directly mobilized all his Spirituality, seizing that instant of opening to forcibly open Tsunade's Mind-Body Gate.
The instant Tsunade's subconscious spiritual body was exposed—
Intimidation!
Frenzy!
He first used Dragon Might to Intimidation Tsunade's mind, then detonated the emotions buried within her.
"Ahhh!!!"
Tsunade clutched her head and screamed.
The nerves in her brain seemed to be shattering. Pain, grief, hatred, and countless other emotions invaded her mind like swarms of ants.
This intense damage to her spirit was like a massive bomb, nearly reducing Tsunade's already unstable sea of mind to pieces. Blood poured from all seven of her orifices, her eyes turned vacant and lifeless, and she fell from midair to the ground as though she had lost consciousness.
"The game is over."
Uchiha Sōgetsu descended from the air and landed before the girl.
