Eternal youth?
"Master, I don't quite understand."
Xuanhui hadn't expected this either. He had thought Tsunade maintained her youthful appearance through the Strength of a Hundred Technique.
But the Strength of a Hundred Technique merely required precise chakra control, allowing the user to stockpile chakra while also nourishing its vitality.
