Someone Is Always Unlucky

"Tsunade, get out of there quickly!"

Uchiha Sōgetsu realized something was wrong, but by the time he shouted a warning, it was already too late.

Hiss—whoosh—

Tsunade clenched her delicate fists, exhaling a long stream of air.

The next moment, Uchiha Sōgetsu noticed that the chakra in her entire body's meridians, after an explosive surge, was concentrated at the tip of her fist.

Trouble!

The thought flashed through his mind, Uchiha Sōgetsu's pupils constricted, and he hastily adopted a defensive stance.

Fine, golden dragon scales quickly covered the surface of his skin.

Monster Strength Fist!

BOOM!!!

The terrifying Monster Strength instantly pulverized the entire altar.

The cave walls and even the ground trembled, groaning under the immense pressure. The rampaging chakra slammed into the ground, like a meteor impact, creating visible shockwaves that, along with debris and gusts of wind, hurled Uchiha Sōgetsu away like a speeding train.

"Pfft—"

A spurt of blood.

He flew dozens of meters, plowing a deep gash in the ground, snapping several massive trees before finally coming to a halt.

Uchiha Sōgetsu felt a searing pain in every bone, his internal organs seemingly displaced.

At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind: No wonder Jiraiya was hospitalized for three months after taking one punch. This power is too terrifying.

Rumble.

The cave collapsed entirely under Tsunade's Monster Strength punch.

"What happened? Why did Tsunade destroy the altar?"

Uchiha Sōgetsu wiped the blood from his lips, his gaze cold, a flicker of anger in his heart, as he stared intently in the direction of the cave.

Soon, from the ruins of the collapsed cave, Tsunade emerged, staggering and stepping on rubble.

"Tsunade?" Uchiha Sōgetsu's eyes narrowed, his brows furrowing into a deep line. "Wait, something's not right."

His Spiritual Vision could directly see the spiritual body of a being.

But at this moment, Tsunade's spiritual body was enveloped by a dark power, and she was in a state akin to Hypnosis.

"Uchiha."

From the depths of the ruins, a roar filled with resentment, like a vengeful ghost from the netherworld, echoed through the graveyard of the Senju clan.

That suppressed hatred and rage, held for who knows how many years, was unleashed with the rampaging chakra.

Boom!

Stones shattered, dust flew.

Deep within the ruins, at the center of the shattered altar, was a naked girl.

Sealed away in darkness that had never seen the light of day, for an unknown number of years, the girl's skin was incredibly pale, like winter snow. Her unkempt black hair cascaded down the sides of her delicate oval face. Beneath her high, aquiline nose, her lips were pale and bloodless.

At first glance, she possessed a fragile beauty that evoked pity.

However, her eyes, filled with astonishing hatred, and their black, pinwheel-like pupils, sent a jolt of fear through Uchiha Sōgetsu.

"Damn it. Mangekyo?!" Uchiha Sōgetsu felt the pressure instantly. This girl actually possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan!

"Uchiha."

The girl's hatred pierced the heavens, her eyes seeming to burn with flames. She stepped through the ruins, ascending to the highest point. Her pinwheel Mangekyo spun, exuding a chilling killing intent like a knife.

Despite knowing the danger, his instincts as a man compelled him to look a few more times.

The girl's fair, jade-like feet trod on the rubble. Her beautiful, rounded feet, with five toes like tender buds, were delicate and exquisite, making one want to toy with them.

His gaze traveled further up. He couldn't go any higher, or it would be a 404.

Giving himself a moment of Soothing, Uchiha Sōgetsu calmed down and tried to explain, "Wait, I think there might be a misunderstanding…"

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade, like a cannonball, shattered the ground around her and charged directly at him.

Substitution Technique!

A severed log was pulverized.

Tsunade abruptly turned her head, her gaze locked onto his position, pursuing him like a shadow. The chakra gathering on her fist made Uchiha Sōgetsu's heart pound.

"Is she under an Genjutsu?" Clearly, Tsunade had been controlled by an enemy. Uchiha Sōgetsu, while dodging, pondered a solution in his mind.

He couldn't confront her head-on!

Let alone the fact that Spectator path users don't possess powerful offensive abilities in the early stages.

Just Tsunade's Monster Strength alone was something he couldn't withstand. With Dragon Scale, his Sequence Six defensive technique, he couldn't possibly endure her punch.

If I actually got hit by one of his punches, I'd probably be attending my own funeral.

BANG!

A punch grazed his cheek.

The gust of wind it created was like a knife, tearing a bloody gash across Uchiha Sōgetsu's face.

"But, as long as I don't get hit, it's fine." Uchiha Sōgetsu exhaled, the tomoe in his dark eyes spinning rapidly. He deeply imprinted Tsunade's every movement into his pupils, from the way her muscles tensed to the flow of chakra through her meridians, perfectly predicting her next move in his mind.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh--

Tsunade's fists, like a storm of wind and rain, relentlessly smashed towards Uchiha Sōgetsu.

The air roared with each impact, the atmosphere being torn apart, violently unleashing power as if to destroy everything in its path.

Uchiha Sōgetsu, caught in the tempest, felt like a lone boat adrift on a vast ocean, bobbing with the waves. He let the power crash around him, dancing with it, as if dancing on the edge of a sharp knife. One misstep, and he would be shattered to pieces.

Watching from the side, the girl suddenly formed a hand seal and took a deep breath.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"

BOOM!

A surging wave of flames erupted, raising a turbulent, roaring tide that engulfed them both.

The girl showed no regard for Tsunade, continuously increasing her chakra output. The flames spewing from her mouth grew more violent and surging, their color approaching pure white. The terrifying heat instantly scorched the earth, igniting the dense vegetation and trees around them. Crimson flames soared into the sky.

Half of the night sky was dyed a fiery red.

Whoosh--

A figure shot out from the sea of fire – it was Uchiha Sōgetsu.

Thanks to the defense of his Dragon Scale, he had barely held on and used the momentum to escape the inferno.

But the next second, Tsunade, engulfed in flames, charged at him again like a demon, clearly determined to fight to the death.

"Strength of a Hundred Seal: Release!"

Tsunade formed a hand seal, and the purple diamond-shaped mark on her forehead transformed into patterns that spread across her entire body.

The skin scorched by the flames peeled away at an incredible speed, revealing tender new skin underneath. The chakra within her body surged several times over!

With infinite regeneration and unmatched monstrous strength, Uchiha Sōgetsu gritted his teeth, feeling immense pressure.

This is too troublesome. In a battle of attrition, he couldn't possibly outlast Tsunade.

Uchiha Sōgetsu's gaze locked onto the girl. He decided to change his priority target and deal with the source first!

"Fire Style: Great Fireball!"

A massive fireball erupted from his mouth, flying towards the girl amidst the ruins.

Tsunade suddenly changed course, maneuvering in mid-air. She stomped on a tree several times the size of a man's embrace, using the recoil to charge into the fireball's path.

"Monster Strength Fist!"

She threw a punch, shattering the fireball with incredibly overbearing power.

However, the instant the fireball shattered.

Uchiha Sōgetsu suddenly used the Body Flicker Technique, appearing before Tsunade. The three tomoe spun wildly.

Without hesitation, he channeled all his spirituality, seizing this momentary opening to forcibly open the gate to Tsunade's mind.

The instant Tsunade's subconscious mind was exposed.

Deterrence!

Madness!

He first used Dragon Might to deter Tsunade's mind, then ignited her hidden emotions.

"Ahhh!!!"

Tsunade clutched her head, screaming.

The nerves in her brain felt like they were being pulverized. Pain, sorrow, hatred, and countless other emotions invaded her mind like swarms of ants.

This intense damage from the mental plane was like a massive bomb, causing Tsunade's already unstable mental ocean to become nearly shattered. Blood poured from her seven orifices, her eyes became vacant and lifeless, and she fell from mid-air to the ground as if she had lost consciousness.

"The game is over."

Uchiha Sōgetsu landed before the girl from mid-air.

I'm thinking about buying lottery tickets again. Gotta resist... I'm practically eating dirt this month, I can't fall any further.

Also, as usual, I'm asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, collections, investments
