Just as Kakuzu was about to continue using his jutsu, Tsunade had already rushed right up to him.
A fierce aura emanated from her, making anyone who felt it shudder.

Kakuzu had dodged in time, but even he was frightened by that terrifying force.
He was secretly aghast.
"I knew Tsunade was strong, but that Strength of a Hundred is just absurd! I absolutely can't let her hit me. One blow would finish me!"
He quickly put some distance between them, a trace of wariness and apprehension in his eyes.

Watching from afar, Amada was deeply shaken by the sight as well.
One kick from Tsunade had devastated the terrain, as if a natural disaster had struck.
That kind of power was well beyond the bounds of an ordinary ninja.
Kakuzu quickly worked out a strategy: he absolutely could not let her get close.
He had to use his jutsu
