Tsunade's Trial

Tsunade clenched her fists, veins popping on her forehead. She couldn't help but punch Qinglong on the head.

"Ah!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch~~!"

Qinglong crouched down, covering his head with both hands. A huge bump began to form on his head.

Tsunade snorted coldly, acting a little tsundere!

She took the lead and walked to an open space.

"Come on! Kid, let me know your strength!"

"Ah!"

Qinglong rubbed his head.

"You said it!"

He suddenly jumped up, striking a starting pose.

Tsunade's eyes narrowed. This wasn't the Hyuga Clan's starting pose, nor was it Might Guy's Taijutsu starting pose.

Where on earth did this child learn Taijutsu?

She beckoned to Qinglong.

"Attack! Let's see how good you are."

"Then I'm attacking!"

Qinglong nodded, then lowered his stance and exerted all his strength.

With a swish, Qinglong had already disappeared from his original spot!

Tsunade's phoenix eyes widened. Such a fast Body Flicker Technique!

Shizune beside her could barely see Qinglong's figure. The next moment.

Qinglong had already appeared in front of Tsunade, throwing a punch at Princess Tsunade, who was right in front of him.

"So fast!"

Tsunade exclaimed, raising her hand to block.

"Bang!"

Fists and arms collided violently, a circular blast of energy exploding and spreading outwards like a raging storm, forcing Shizune to cover her eyes as her clothes flapped wildly. She watched the two on the field in shock.

Tsunade, who had underestimated her opponent, was pushed back over ten meters. She was astonished by the power of the punch, which was terrifyingly strong!

Qinglong pointed at Tsunade and laughed heartily.

"I told you, women who are too fat just aren't suited for fighting."

Hearing this, Tsunade gritted her teeth in anger, a large cross-shaped mark forming on her forehead.

"Kid, you've made me serious!"

"Are you ready to be trampled by me, Princess Tsunade?"

Tsunade threw off her outer robe to Shizune, her figure becoming even more graceful. She rubbed her fists and stood there, beckoning him.

"Kid, attack!"

"Haaah!"

Qinglong let out a loud roar and instantly charged forward again, swinging his fist.

"Hit, hit, hit!"

Although Tsunade was prepared, she was once again overwhelmed by Qinglong's stormy barrage of attacks, forcing her to parry repeatedly.

Their bodies collided non-stop, emitting fierce roars.

Qinglong possessed immense strength and incredible speed. His continuous barrage of punches didn't give Tsunade a moment to breathe.

This wasn't how ninjas fought, with their measured strikes!

There was no chance to catch her breath!

And no matter what move Tsunade made, Qinglong would throw a punch!

Tsunade defended, and he punched.

Tsunade swung a fist to attack, and he also threw a punch.

It was a direct confrontation!

Furthermore, his entire body turned into a weapon as he fought, his fists, feet, arms, and knees all attacking in a continuous stream.

After a round of exchanges, both of them swung their fists, and their fists collided once more.

"Boom!"

Another blast of energy erupted, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, creating a thunderous roar!

This time, Tsunade unleashed her suppressed strength, and with a single punch, she sent Qinglong flying back over ten meters!

The dirt on the ground was blasted into a circular pit by the shockwaves from the two fists colliding.

"Not bad, kid."

"Just not quite enough," Tsunade's red lips curved slightly as she took her jacket from Shizune.

"Keep working hard!" Tsunade turned and waved as she walked away, "I look forward to our next meeting, when you're even stronger!"

After Tsunade hurried away, Qinglong was still recalling the fight.

Although Tsunade had suppressed her strength and hadn't used her Super Strength Technique, he hadn't gone all out either.

To avoid drawing too much attention from Konoha, Qinglong had hidden most of his strength, maintaining only the power of an ordinary genius!

Lost in thought, he suddenly remembered.

"Ah! Didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal, Tsunade, you liar!"

Qinglong punched the ground in anger.

He'd fought for nothing and was starving, only to miss out on getting a free barbecue from Tsunade, that fat old sheep.

"Ah! My barbecue~"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tsunade, once out of Qinglong's sight, bared her teeth and shook her hands.

"Aaaah~!"

"I didn't expect this kid's body to be so tough, it's killing me!"

Shizune was shocked. She hadn't expected that brat to be so formidable. Tsunade was a master of Taijutsu, so she couldn't help but wonder if that kid had really managed to hurt Tsunade.

"Is that kid really that strong?"

"Yes!"

Tsunade said with a serious expression, "He's a rare Taijutsu genius!"

As she spoke, she grimaced and rubbed her arm, then turned to Shizune and said, "Let's go! Since we're back in Konoha, let's take a stroll through Konoha street!"

"Ah!"

Shizune's face instantly fell.

Lady Tsunade was going to look for someone to gamble with again~.

On Qinglong's side, he had already run outside the village, hoping to hunt a beast to fill his stomach before dark. If he had known Tsunade was planning to gamble, why would he be hunting? He would have gotten Tsunade's money and wouldn't rest until she lost her last pair of pants!

Time passed quietly, and the village returned to peace. Under the Third Hokage's mediation, the villagers gradually seemed to forget about the missing children.

The Third Hokage had made no small contribution to maintaining Konoha's peace. Although his methods were debatable, he had indeed preserved Konoha's rare tranquility.

As for Tsunade, she hadn't been seen for a while. It seemed she had fled the village, pursued by Konoha's creditors.
