"Hm?" The group had stopped their carriages that day and were happily eating noodles when their expressions suddenly turned serious.
Their days had improved quite a bit since the beginning. The nobles couldn't endure hardship, and their carriages were so comfortable that the passengers felt no jolting at all. The group ate and drank to the same standard as the nobles, too.
They had Tsunade to thank for that. Ordinary Ninja would never receive such treatment from nobles, but Tsunade was a noble herself, and her standing was higher than theirs.
Of course, their food still had to be checked. Someone might have been bribed.
"What is it?" Tsunade stopped eating and looked at Uchiha Yi.
"Quite a few powerful Chakra signatures are approaching." Uchiha Yi pressed two fingers to the ground. "More than ten of them feel like Jonin. The one leading them has a stronger Chakra signature than you or Senior Hatake."
"Stronger than us?" Tsunade frowned. She trusted Uchiha Yi's sensory abilities. Any Ninja capable of using the Flying Thunder God Technique had to have keen senses.
A Ninja's strength wasn't directly tied to how much Chakra they had, but having more was always an advantage.
And as someone trained their Chakra, especially its nature transformation, their Chakra signature changed as well. Sensory Ninja often used those signatures to gauge an opponent's strength.
"Yeah, but it's not a big problem. We can still take them on!" Uchiha Yi said, eager for a fight. "I want to see what someone that strong can do."
Tsunade frowned slightly. She had a feeling Uchiha Yi was courting death.
Sometimes, trying your luck got you killed!
Even she risked dying when she faced a truly powerful opponent.
"Learning the Flying Thunder God Technique doesn't mean you can act recklessly!" Tsunade warned
