P.S. Xiao Ye will make up any extra updates over the weekend!
A mighty, surging aura burst forth.
"Smack!"
As a flash of light flickered,
Naruto's figure surged forward at incredible speed.
He leaped,
closing in on Tsunade in an instant.
A sharp glint of cold steel.
A chilling presence struck.

Naruto brought down a heavy blow.

A deafening boom erupted across the battlefield.
The attack blasted open a narrow gap in space. Tsunade seized the opportunity to retreat at high speed, creating room to maneuver—if only for an instant.
