Suddenly, the system's voice rang out in Senju Fujima's mind.

"Uh, a single Byakugan? What the hell is this?"

"System, are you sure a single Byakugan is of any use to me?"

"If you're only going to do things halfway, you might as well not give me anything at all!"

"You're really stingy, damn it."

"You truly have a twisted sense of humor. I'm honestly speechless. Aren't you just trying to make me choose to beat her up?"

"Do you really have to make things so flashy and complicated?"

After hearing the system's words, Senju Fujima was somewhat speechless, though it wasn't the first time; he was getting used to it.

"System, select option three."

Senju Fujima made his choice, then looked at Tie Kui before him with a wicked grin, his gaze drifting toward her backside.

"What are you looking at?"

"Are you going to accept my challenge or not?"

"Does your Konoha really rely on cowards like you to build its reputation?"

"What a waste."

Seeing Senju Fujima's wicked grin as he looked her up and down, Tie Kui felt a surge of shame and anger, and she quickly demanded an explanation.

"Fine!"

"I accept your challenge."

"But, if I win, what's in it for me?"

"I don't do things that don't benefit me."

Senju Fujima looked at Tie Kui and said with a straight face.

"Benefits?"

"Do you really think you can beat me?"

"Hmph, that's nothing but wishful thinking."

Tie Kui looked at Senju Fujima, her brows furrowed as she let out a cold snort.

"Then I'm leaving. If there's no benefit, why should I bother with you?"

"What a hassle. I have to get going, so I'll be off."

Senju Fujima waved his hand at Tie Kui and turned to leave.

"Then what kind of benefit do you want?"

"But you won't be able to beat me."

"Whatever benefit you want, just name it."

Confident in her swordsmanship, Tie Kui frowned as she saw Senju Fujima about to leave and quickly asked.

"If I win, you'll be my little follower from now on. How about that?"

Senju Fujima curled the corner of his mouth and said indifferently.

"What? You actually want me to be your follower?"

"You?"

Hearing Senju Fujima say this, Tie Kui felt a sudden, inexplicable surge of rage, and she pointed a slender finger at him, berating him.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't lose to me?"

"Since you're so certain you'll win, why not accept the stakes?"

Senju Fujima looked at Tie Kui, pursed his lips, and gave a dismissive laugh.

"Oh, I get it now. You know you can't beat me, so you're just pretending that you can."

"I understand, I understand. If that's the case, wouldn't fighting you be completely pointless?"

"Forget it!"

"I have to get going. Bye!"

Senju Fujima put on an expression of sudden realization, spoke to Tie Kui in an exaggerated tone, and then turned to walk away with a dramatic flair.

"You, you...!"

Watching Senju Fujima bully her like this, Tie Kui's chest heaved with anger, her breathing ragged, and her face flushed red.

"You, stop right there!"

"I agree to your terms."

"But I have a requirement of my own."

Seeing that Senju Fujima was about to leave, Tie Kui chose to compromise and shouted at him.

"Oh? What kind of request?"

"Are you asking me to go easy on you?"

"That's fine. I've always known how to cherish the fair sex; I won't do anything to you."

"Rest assured, with a beauty as lovely as you, how could I bear to destroy such a flower?"

After hearing Tie Kui's words, Senju Fujima curled his lips slightly, then turned to look at her and joked.

"You?"

"Hmph!"

"I won't engage in a war of words with you."

"If you lose, you must write your name on the gates of the Land of Iron, and then declare that Konoha ninjas are scum and the most wicked villains under the heavens."

"If you agree to this, then I will agree to your request."

"How about it? Do you dare?"

Tie Kui looked at Senju Fujima before her and said coldly, a flash of resentment crossing her eyes.

"Oh?"

"What's up with this girl? Did Konoha ninjas do something to her?"

"No way, right? How long has Konoha even been established? Are we already offending young girls like this?"

Hearing Tie Kui's words and seeing her resentful gaze, Senju Fujima felt a sense of strangeness and muttered to himself.

"Fine, I agree."

After a moment of contemplation, Senju Fujima looked at Tie Kui and called out.

"Very well, then let us begin!"

Tie Kui frowned, eyeing Senju Fujima coldly.

The two then took their positions; Senju Fujima looked relaxed, while Tie Kui wore a grave expression.

"Please, show me your best."

Tie Kui bowed to Senju Fujima, a gesture of samurai spirit.

"Oh, please, show me yours as well."

Seeing Tie Kui bow before the start of the battle, Senju Fujima was slightly stunned, then bowed back to her.

Why does this feel a bit like a wedding ceremony?

Pfft...!

After bowing, Senju Fujima muttered inwardly, finding the sight of Tie Kui before him quite amusing.

Tie Kui crouched slightly, her right hand resting on the hilt of her sword, ready to strike at any moment.

Damn it, he's looking down on me this much?

Then I'll let you see what I'm truly capable of.

Seeing that Senju Fujima didn't seem to be taking her seriously, a flash of anger crossed Tie Kui's heart. She instantly gripped the samurai sword at her waist, though she didn't fully draw it, and kicked off with her right foot.

"Whoosh...!"

In an instant, Tie Kui charged directly toward Senju Fujima with a speed so great that even a jonin might find it troublesome if caught off guard.

"Oh? You actually have some skill."

"But against me, it won't have any effect."

"I'll play along with you then!"

Seeing Tie Kui charging at him, Senju Fujima curled his lips slightly and drew a specially crafted kunai.

"Zzzzt."

Instantly, Senju Fujima channeled his Lightning Release, and the kunai was enveloped in lightning, transforming into a blade of light that bore a striking resemblance to Tobirama's Sword of the Thunder God.

"Secret Sword—Lightning Flash Slash."

Seeing Senju Fujima draw his weapon, Tie Kui instantly unsheathed her samurai sword, gathering a blue blade aura that flew directly toward him.

"Yo, not bad, are you? You can actually project blade energy."

"Heh heh!"

Seeing the blue blade aura flying toward him, Senju Fujima calmly swung the lightning blade in his hand.

"Bang...!"

The blue blade aura collided with Senju Fujima's lightning blade, producing a loud boom and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hmph, idiot."

"Is my blade aura really that easy to block?"

Seeing her strike land, Tie Kui did not follow up, as she had great confidence in her own attack.

Within her attack range, she believed no one could evade her strike.

And for Senju Fujima to try and meet it head-on, there could only be one outcome: death.
