I'm Fine!

Uchiha Xiao saw Nawaki walking over, smiled slightly, and patted him on the head before turning his gaze toward Tsunade.

Tsunade looked puzzled, and it was then that Uchiha Xiao explained the reason to her.

"Experimentation is the only criterion for testing truth. Since you don't believe it, Tsunade, you should try it yourself." Uchiha Xiao's confident smile, paired with his handsome features, seemed quite persuasive.

Tsunade pondered for a moment and nodded. "Indeed, it should be tested." If it were truly effective, then Nawaki would have some protection when he went to the battlefield!

"Try? How do I try? By letting my sister hit this suit?" Nawaki scratched his head. Just then, Uchiha Xiao's lips curled upward, and his expression turned serious.

"Nawaki, let me ask you, do you want to go to the front lines to gain combat experience?" Seeing Uchiha Xiao's expression, Nawaki couldn't help but become serious as well.

"Yes, Brother Xiao, I want to go!" Watching Nawaki's earnest face, Uchiha Xiao felt a bit embarrassed; tricking this naive kid was starting to weigh on his conscience.

But it only lasted a moment. Uchiha Xiao said, "Then Nawaki, put on the suit and let your sister test its defensive power! Only if the defense is strong enough will your sister agree to let you go to the front lines!"

After saying this, Uchiha Xiao patted Nawaki on the shoulder.

"Alright!" Nawaki was just about to put it on when he suddenly realized something. Wait, test the defensive power? By letting his sister beat him? Recalling every instance of his sister hitting him since childhood, his face turned deathly pale.

Uchiha Xiao naturally saw this. He rolled his eyes; it seemed he needed to add more fuel to the fire!

"Nawaki, you know your sister's personality. If your safety cannot be guaranteed, she certainly won't sit idly by while you head to the front lines!" Uchiha Xiao laughed, glancing at Tsunade.

"Right, Tsunade?" Uchiha Xiao asked, as his conversation with Nawaki hadn't been hidden from her; she had heard the whole thing.

Tsunade nodded. "That's right, Nawaki. Nothing is more important than your safety! If your safety cannot be ensured, I will never agree to let you go to the front lines!"

Hearing the words of Uchiha Xiao and Tsunade, Nawaki let out a breath and looked at Tsunade. "I understand, Sister!"

With that, he took the Explosion-Proof Suit from Uchiha Xiao and put it on. Uchiha Xiao nodded at Tsunade, then jumped backward to put some distance between himself and Nawaki.

Tsunade had inherited the monstrous strength of Senju Hashirama. Even though she was only at the Jonin level, she could unleash power approaching that of a Kage.

If he were standing nearby and got hit by a punch, hiss...

Uchiha Xiao shook his head and stopped thinking about it, lest he lose sleep tonight.

Nawaki watched Uchiha Xiao retreat and looked at his sister's stern face, unable to help but gulp.

"I'm coming! You brat, get ready!" Tsunade stepped forward with her right foot, causing the ground of the Senju Clan Compound to crack, and then she turned into a streak of light, charging toward Nawaki.

Although Nawaki also had a talent for monstrous strength, he was six years younger than his sister, so his power was nothing compared to hers!

"Monstrous Strength, Mountain Crushing Strike!" Tsunade appeared before Nawaki, pulled her right arm back, shifted her waist, and threw a punch.

Boom! The punch landed on Nawaki's Explosion-Proof Suit with a loud thud. Nawaki was sent flying, only stopping when he slammed into a wall.

His body was embedded three inches into the wall, and that was only because Tsunade had controlled her strength to the peak of the Chunin level.

"Nawaki!" Tsunade called out, to which Nawaki quickly replied, "Sister, I'm fine! I didn't get hurt at all!"

Hearing the vigor in Nawaki's voice, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, while Nawaki struggled hard to pull himself out of the wall.

Tsunade had felt a light membrane appear just before she touched Nawaki. She had struck the membrane, and as a result, Nawaki had been sent flying.

Nawaki understood this best. Indeed, a pale yellow light membrane had appeared; if one didn't look closely, one wouldn't notice it. His sister's punch hadn't actually hit him, but rather the membrane.

Inside the membrane, he hadn't felt a single bit of pain. He smiled, knowing that all of this was thanks to the Explosion-Proof Suit!

"Sister!" Before he could express his realization, Tsunade flashed in front of him, her expression cold. "Heavenly Foot Pain!" This was the most domineering technique in her arsenal.

Even though she was a Jonin, when combined with her monstrous strength and taijutsu, this kick could reach the peak of Jonin power!

Although Nawaki had witnessed the suit's formidable defense, the pressure from his sister felt even more terrifying!

With a boom, Tsunade's kick pinned Nawaki to the ground. She carefully sensed the impact; she hadn't stepped on flesh, but on a layer of membrane—a very soft membrane that dissipated her force before vanishing, allowing her to step onto Nawaki's chest.

This attack was already approaching the level of a Kage, yet that membrane had still been able to withstand it without the slightest sign of breaking.

Tsunade was thrilled. With this ninja tool, as long as Nawaki didn't encounter a village Kage on the battlefield, he would essentially be safe!

Tsunade turned to look at Uchiha Xiao and lunged toward him!

Uchiha Xiao wasn't paying attention and was tackled to the ground by Tsunade.

"Thank you, thank you, Uchiha Xiao. With this ninja tool, Nawaki can be safe and sound!" Tsunade's heart was filled with gratitude.

Uchiha Xiao froze for a moment, feeling the soft sensation against his chest, and gasped. If Tsunade didn't get up soon, his "little brother" was going to stand up too!

Uchiha Xiao patted Tsunade's head and said softly, "Get up quickly, Nawaki is still watching!"

Hearing this, Tsunade quickly stood up and looked at Nawaki. The moment Nawaki saw his sister's gaze, he shivered and looked at the sky. "The sky is really... sky-like today!"

He didn't even know what he was saying, but he was certain that Uchiha Xiao would be his brother-in-law in the future!

Tsunade snorted, turned her head, and looked at Uchiha Xiao shyly. "Uchiha Xiao, it's all my fault. I didn't control my strength just now and pushed you..."

Feeling that this sounded a bit unladylike, Tsunade quickly shut her mouth, her face turning red.

Uchiha Xiao, however, became interested. He curled his lips and leaned his face toward Tsunade. "It's fine, it was quite soft—ah, no, I mean, it was quite comfortable."

With that, he ran off without looking back.

Tsunade was stunned, then gave a wry laugh. She looked at Nawaki. "You brat, now I can rest easy letting you go to the front lines. But remember to listen to your master, Orochimaru!"

"That guy Orochimaru is not only the strongest among the three of us, but his survival skills are also something Jiraiya and I can't compare to. You need to learn more from him." After saying this, Tsunade headed toward the house; she wanted to tell her grandmother this news!
