Bai Lin's figure appeared not far from the open space, shouting loudly, "Shuriken Manipulation Technique."
As a Sasuke Uchiha (Orochimaru Sasuke) template, it was impossible not to know how to use shuriken, and the most typical was this Shuriken Manipulation Technique.
Using transparent threads to control the shuriken, the moment Tsunade hit him, he used the Substitution Technique to take the damage.
When Tsunade was careless, he controlled the thin threads in his hand, and the six shuriken suddenly changed trajectory, returning from six different directions, stabbing directly at Tsunade's vital points.
"Not good!" Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply, and she finally realized she had fallen into a trap.
Chakra erupted around her instantly, and she quickly clapped her hands towards the attacking shuriken.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Three shuriken were sent flying by the palm wind, while the other three, guided by the threads, bypassed the palm wind and went straight for her waist and knees.
Tsunade was forced to retreat rapidly, and at the same time, she stomped hard on the ground, sending gravel flying, trying to avoid the control of the threads.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Bai Lin's lips, and he gently flicked his right wrist.
The threads tightened instantly, and the three shuriken suddenly accelerated. Two of them grazed Tsunade's clothes, leaving two shallow bloodstains. The last one was barely blocked by Tsunade's arm, bleeding profusely.
Ultimately, she had been careless and failed to react completely.
"Lord Tsunade is injured, how is this possible?"
"How can that guy Bai Lin be so strong?"
"Go, Lord Tsunade!!!"
The situation reversed so quickly, seeing Bai Lin inflict wounds on Tsunade, everyone's faces showed disbelief.
"You can actually wound me? Not bad, I acknowledge your strength." A hint of anger flashed in Tsunade's eyes, but more than that was disbelief.
This kid not only lasted this long under her, but also used the Substitution Technique to set a trap, and even injured her—this tactical awareness and ninjutsu control had long surpassed the level of a Chunin.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Two solid clones immediately appeared beside Bai Lin. With a portion of his strength unusable, it was difficult for him to inflict damage on Tsunade.
"If I could use the Sharingan and Lightning Release, and Tsunade hasn't learned the Yin Seal, her strength wouldn't be at its true peak, and I might be able to defeat her," he thought.
Bai Lin and the two solid clones quickly spread out, surrounding Tsunade in a triangular formation.
"Shadow Leaf Dance!"
One figure charged straight at Tsunade, raising his leg to kick her chin.
"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly, and one hand quickly shot out, trying to grab Bai Lin's kicking leg.
Unexpectedly, another Bai Lin appeared below her, kicking her with the same move.
Tsunade had no choice but to change her plan, crossing her hands to block the kicks from both of them, but her body was sent flying into the air by their combined force.
"It's not over yet!"
Another figure instantly appeared directly above Tsunade, tightly hugging her with both hands.
Their bodies began to spin rapidly in mid-air.
"Shadow Leaf Dance!" Bai Lin's faint voice sounded in Tsunade's ear.
"Where are you touching!" Tsunade shouted, her cheeks flushing, veins bulging on her forehead.
She had actually felt Bai Lin's unrestrained hands...
This made her completely unable to tolerate it any longer. She grabbed the arm of the Bai Lin hugging her and flung him towards a Bai Lin on the ground.
Upon impact, the Bai Lin on the ground turned into a puff of smoke, a solid clone.
The Bai Lin falling from the air violently hit the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His white kimono was stained even redder, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Damn brat! How dare you be so lewd!" Tsunade descended from the air in a rage, pushing off the ground with her feet. Her body shot towards another Bai Lin clone like a cannonball, her fist imbued with her full Super Strength. It was clear she had murderous intent, "I'll break your legs today!"
"Bang!" The clone was sent flying dozens of meters, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing.
The real Bai Lin saw this and inwardly cursed his bad luck. His subconscious actions had completely angered Tsunade.
"I surrender, I admit defeat!" Bai Lin struggled to get up from the ground, raising his hands in surrender.
He could hit Tsunade countless times, but facing a furious Tsunade, if he was hit even once, he would be completely finished.
"You've had your fun, but I haven't had enough yet!" Tsunade grinned, clenching her fists, the sound of bones cracking echoing between them.
"Whoosh!"
Tsunade's figure instantly vanished. Even Bai Lin's gaze couldn't track her movements.
"This speed is not on the same level as before. Unless I activate the Sharingan, I can't keep up with her rhythm at all." Bai Lin was already sweating, feeling a sense of dread. He disappeared from his spot.
Don't think Tsunade's Super Strength is top-tier in attack power. When Super Strength is used for bursts, it might not match the speed of the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Nintaijutsu, but it's definitely not far off.
Moreover, in terms of destructive power, Bai Lin couldn't withstand this blow even with all his might.
There is a gap between elite Jonin and elite Jonin (like the genius Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy who can open the Gate of Death).
The crowd by the sidelines was already dumbfounded, not expecting the battle to turn around so quickly.
Jiraiya rubbed his hands, a smile of someone who enjoyed watching a good show on his face: "Hahaha! Tsunade is really angry! That kid Bai Lin, I haven't seen Tsunade like this in a long time. This is going to be good!"
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils flashed with a hint of interest, his tongue licking his lips. "Interesting... that's the Kusanagi Sword. Is it a replica, or... why do you give me such a strange feeling, Bai Lin?"
Shimura Danzō: "Hiruzen, why don't you let him join my Root? He's hidden his talent for so many years, he must have plans in his heart. Perhaps he's a potential threat."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Danzō, put away your thoughts. I am the Hokage! The children who inherit the Will of Fire are the future of Konoha."
Danzō: "Hmph! You'll regret this!"
With a "bang!" a huge crater appeared on the ground. Bai Lin was sent flying by the immense impact, spitting out another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
At first, he thought that with Sasuke Uchiha's strength, he could still defeat the opponent, or at least fight to a draw.
He never expected the gap between them to be so huge. He no longer had the confidence to defeat the opponent with his Sharingan and Lightning Release, unless he added his final trump card.
Exposing all his strength without reservation in front of everyone was obviously impossible.
"Lady Tsunade, I was wrong, spare me."
Bai Lin dared not be careless, dodging Tsunade's attacks while spitting blood.
Thus, one giant pit after another appeared on the ground, indicating Tsunade's power.
The crowd also broke out in cold sweat at this moment, a thought appearing in their minds: if they were hit by this punch, they would probably be reduced to ashes.
"Let you go? Even if the King of Heaven came today, he couldn't save you!" Tsunade relentlessly pursued, her figure like a ghost, her fists falling continuously. Each punch cracked the ground, leaving a deep pit, chasing Bai Lin in a sorry state.
"Heh heh... the little guy really gave me a surprise."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and shook his head helplessly, coughing lightly, "Tsunade, stop! The assessment is over!"
Bai Lin's performance was indeed beyond his expectations, but it was still within his control. At least he didn't have to worry about him having problems in the next few years.
If the other party was truly suitable, perhaps the Fourth Hokage...
Bai Lin's strength had been tested. He had Chunin-level strength, infinitely close to Jonin.
The ninjutsu he used were all taught by Orochimaru. Some taijutsu were unseen, but his overall performance could be considered that of a true genius.
But how could the enraged Tsunade listen? She continued to chase Bai Lin relentlessly, "Teacher, I must teach this brat a lesson today! Otherwise, who knows what kind of scoundrel he'll become later!"
Scoundrel?
What the heck?
What happened?
Everyone was confused. They didn't know that Bai Lin's hands were not honest when he used Shadow Leaf Dance.
"Lady Tsunade, I really didn't mean to! If this continues, I'll be beaten to death by you!" Bai Lin panted.
Tsunade looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's stern gaze, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided. She finally snorted and retracted her fist, "Hmph! For Teacher's sake, I'll let this brat off today!"
Bai Lin felt as if he had been granted amnesty and collapsed on the ground, secretly rejoicing, "Fortunately, I almost died."
