Tsunade froze for a moment in the distance, but she quickly recovered and stormed over to Chihane.
She took his hand and checked it for injuries. When she found that it was completely unharmed, she immediately gave him a loving little punch!
Chihane had already been puzzled when Jiraiya suddenly stopped attacking in the middle of their fight. Now Tsunade had come over, inspected his hand, and punched him, leaving him even more confused.
What happened? Why were they both reacting like this?
"How is that possible? Kid, you stopped my Rasengan with your bare hand! That's an A-rank Ninjutsu!"

"A Kekkei Genkai like that actually exists!"
His explanation astonished them both, but the proof was right before their eyes, with sparks still flashing against
