Washboard!?

"Don't worry. No one will gossip, and I won't use Monster Strength against you. You can rest assured of that."

After saying that, Tsunade did not wait for Feng Xun to object. She grabbed him by the collar and tossed him onto the arena as if he were trash.

"Alright, you make the first move. As long as you can force me off the arena, you win. Of course, if you fall off, then you lose." Tsunade leaped onto the arena and spoke to Feng Xun.

Knowing he could no longer escape, Feng Xun took a deep breath and said to Tsunade, "Then excuse me."

As he spoke, Feng Xun pulled two shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, lowered his body slightly, and assumed an attacking stance.

The pose looked decent enough, but as a ninja, he had blatantly revealed his intent to attack without any guard up. He was still far too green.

Even as Tsunade made her assessment, she stomped her right foot down hard.

Using the force rebounding from the ground, Tsunade shot toward Feng Xun like a cannonball, appearing before him without warning.

"Kid, here's your first lesson: never give your opponent time to prepare!" With that, Tsunade swung her fist and smashed it toward Feng Xun.

Feng Xun did not dare take Tsunade's fist head-on. She had said she would not use Monster Strength, but who knew how painful a punch from her would be even without it?

Feng Xun leaped sharply backward. At the same time, he threw the two shuriken from his hands.

"Your reactions are pretty quick."

Facing the two shuriken, Tsunade's expression did not change. A pale green glow flashed across her hands, and in the blink of an eye, the two shuriken split into four pieces and fell to the ground.

"But you're still too green. At a time like this, you shouldn't use shuriken. An offensive ninjutsu would be better."

"No, shuriken are better." Feng Xun's voice came from behind Tsunade.

Clone Technique? When did he—?

In the instant Tsunade hesitated, Feng Xun seized the opportunity and used the move Minato had once used on Kushina.

Konoha Taijutsu Secret Technique: Breast-Grabbing Dragon Claw.

Under Nobi Fan's astonished gaze from below the arena, Feng Xun's small hand slipped beneath Tsunade's armpit and landed with perfect accuracy on her ample breasts.

Wait, ample? Weren't they supposed to be washboards?

Before Feng Xun could think any further, Tsunade suppressed her fury and ground out through clenched teeth, "You little bastard, aren't you planning to take your hand off?"

The experienced Feng Xun had already figured out what was going on, but he deliberately put on a thoughtful expression and said impatiently, "Stop making a fuss. Let me think a little longer."

Feng Xun did not dare let go now. He vaguely sensed that Tsunade was terrifying at the moment. Although the original story had no record of Tsunade beating someone half to death, it had never said he could walk off the arena unharmed under these circumstances.

"Hehe, think a little longer? You little brat, you've got some nerve!"

Tsunade laughed in extreme anger, her face darkening as she grabbed Feng Xun's wrist. Despite his struggles, she swung him around and slammed him into the ground.

BOOM!!!

Having been smashed into the ground like a sandbag, Feng Xun found it hard to breathe. It felt as though his internal organs had all been damaged by that blow.

Damn it, this is seriously terrible luck. I miscalculated.

Feng Xun felt utterly miserable.

In his original plan, all Feng Xun had needed to do was grab her washboard-like chest, embarrass her, then take the chance to kick her off the arena.

But he had never expected to make things worse by accidentally touching upon her secret.

So, really, who did you have to imitate? Why did you have to copy the Heavenly Dynasty's chest bindings? Wouldn't having bigger breasts be better? Was there any need to hide them so carefully?

With only his eyes able to move, Feng Xun saw the strange smile on Tsunade's face as she slowly drew closer. A chill ran through his heart.

Holy shit, this crazy woman isn't planning to kill me to keep me quiet, is she?!

(Just to clarify, there's a reason for emphasizing Tsunade's chest here. It's foreshadowing for a small plot point later on. It's definitely not because Old Cat is a hentai.)
