Capturing Princess Tsunade (Bonus Chapter for 2,000 Recommendation Votes)

Tsunade's eyes widened as she watched her Chakra-enhanced punch get blocked. When facing Sand ninja puppets, no one had ever been able to threaten her with that punch. Those hard puppets were shattered one by one with a single blow from her. Even puppets tougher than people were like that, so ordinary humans went without saying.

Moreover, as a taijutsu ninja, Tsunade was incredibly fast. Many people had no time to use the Substitution Technique, or were struck by her while using it.

It was a devastating blow that felt as if it would make one vomit up their internal organs.

She was not a merciful person. Since becoming a ninja, she had killed countless people. Oguri Hayashi's theft of the Book of Ninja was a complete betrayal, and she would show no mercy. One had to make up for one's own mistakes.

"Lady Tsunade, do you know the advantage of being good at taijutsu?" After Oguri Hayashi used his My Style Secret Technique to transfer all that pure force into the ground, the hand gripping Tsunade's trembled as well.

The crude muscle-enhancing technique she had developed herself was simply too powerful. Though extremely rough, its potential was unparalleled. If Might Guy could learn this technique and compress Chakra into his body, he might really be able to kick the story straight to its ending.

In an instant, his Shadow Clone did not turn into smoke. Instead, it sent the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru flying with a single blow.

"The advantage of taijutsu is that even a Shadow Clone can use it easily, without being unable to do so because of Chakra limitations."

The amount of Chakra contained in a Shadow Clone was extremely small, so it undoubtedly could not use ninjutsu—except for Naruto's Shadow Clones, of course. With his seemingly infinite Chakra, his clones could even form Rasengans directly.

The greatest difference with Oguri Hayashi's Shadow Clones was that those clad in Lightning Armor had vastly improved defenses. Unlike other people's Shadow Clones, which collapsed at the slightest touch, these ones endured. At that moment, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had completely underestimated his taijutsu level, so it was perfectly natural for him to send them flying with his own martial arts.

Oguri Hayashi's real body let out a sharp breath of scorching air and sank another two centimeters into the ground. Borrowing the force from those two centimeters of earth, his left fist instantly shot toward Tsunade's face.

Tsunade was startled and raised a hand to block, only to see Oguri Hayashi's left hand coil around her arm like a snake before instantly striking her in the face.

Tsunade's cheek took a heavy blow, sending her falling backward. But with her fist still caught in Oguri Hayashi's grip, she was yanked back and punched in the face again.

He had thrown only two punches, yet Tsunade was already barely conscious.

After all, she was only an ordinary ninja. Though the Super Strength Technique could kill an enemy in one blow, when facing an opponent with the same powerful Super Strength Technique, Tsunade would not fare much better than the enemies she had beaten to death.

Oguri Hayashi had not even gone all out yet. Once he used the Heavier Rock Technique, he could kill the current Tsunade in a single strike.

That was why, despite knowing Konoha was a dragon's lair and tiger's den, he had still dared to charge into it.

If he possessed secret techniques of the ninja world like the Lightning Release Body Cultivation Technique, My Style Secret Technique, and Heavier Rock Technique, yet still cowered and dared not move forward, then Oguri Hayashi's future would amount to nothing.

Though he felt fear in his heart, he had not a trace of hesitation. Konoha had once been his home, and now it was his whetstone.

He had already been reborn. He would use Konoha, this whetstone, to sharpen himself into a keen edge, growing stronger with every setback!

Tsunade's swift defeat was certainly partly due to her carelessness, but Oguri Hayashi's own strength was also why he had given her a concussion with two strikes.

He had not wasted these past two months!

He seized Tsunade and pulled her into his embrace. In an instant, he used martial arts to dislocate both her arms. Tsunade's hands dangled beneath her shoulders as if broken, while his arm locked around her throat.

It sounded far too slow when described in words. It had all happened in the blink of an eye. Before the other ninjas could react, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, who had rushed forward, were sent flying, while Tsunade had already become Oguri Hayashi's prisoner.

The ninjas cried out in shock.

Yet Oguri Hayashi, with his arm hooked around Tsunade's neck, did not move in the slightest.

All three Shadow Clones dispersed, allowing his Chakra to slowly return to a normal level.

His Chakra reserves were simply too low, so he had to conserve them.

"If it's Lady Tsunade, she should be valuable enough to trade for my freedom." Oguri Hayashi's eyes were razor-sharp as he looked at the retreating Third Hokage.

Once her joints had been dislocated, she could no longer form hand seals. Whether it was the Substitution Technique, the Body Flicker Technique, or even attacking with her feet, the movements would be too obvious. For a martial arts expert like Oguri Hayashi, if she tried to use any taijutsu, she would be instantly restrained.

It had to be Tsunade as the captive.

Tsunade's identity was far too special. Her great-uncle, the Second Hokage, had been the Third Hokage's mentor. Her grandfather had founded this village. She was the Senju Clan's last direct descendant, and the future Fifth Hokage.

If it had been Jiraiya, he would have immediately killed himself to ensure his teacher and the others could act decisively. Orochimaru possessed countless secret techniques, and his cicada-shell escape technique was particularly memorable.

Only Tsunade, as both a taijutsu ninja and a Medical Ninja, had methods and tactics that were far too limited, making her easy to restrain and capture.

Oguri Hayashi's gaze was calm. Even after fighting one Kage-level opponent and three near-Kage-level opponents, his breathing had not become disordered in the slightest. The Third Hokage, noticing this, looked grave.

That boy really was extraordinary. Had he been a hidden dragon lurking in the depths before? Both he and Tsunade had misjudged him!

"Don't worry about me..." Tsunade recovered a little from the concussion. After all, she was a ninja. An ordinary person would not even be able to gather their thoughts, but for her, it was merely ten-odd seconds of dizziness.

But in the next instant, Oguri Hayashi's pale hand swept across Tsunade's jaw. He was too fast; no one saw what he did. They only saw Tsunade's jaw snap out of place with a crack. Saliva slowly flowed from her mouth, unable to close because of her dislocated jaw, running down her chin to her neck and the front of her ample chest, making for an alluring sight.

"Lady Tsunade, please keep quiet for a moment," Oguri Hayashi said. Leaning close to Tsunade's ear, he asked, "After all, I didn't use Lady Tsunade's hemophobia against you, did I?"
