"Lady Mizukage!"
"Sorry, I finished off my opponent first!"
Tsunade grinned at Mei Terumi.
A trace of defiance broke through Mei's stern expression.
"You only managed that because someone helped you."
At the same time,
Mei felt a little jealous. Why had Cangyue helped Tsunade instead of her?
She knew Tsunade's opponent had been stronger,
but she still couldn't help feeling a little put out.
"Granduncle Tobirama! Take this!"

Tsunade reacted at once, lifting her leg and stamping down hard.
The desert floor collapsed, shifting Mei out of position and causing Tobirama's attack to miss.
After a moment's surprise, Mei reacted swiftly. She shaped her hand like a pistol and
