Shizune and Sakura were both dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, Shizune had briefly explained their relationship to Sakura.
By all rights, things shouldn't have reached the point where they were ready to fight to the death.
But that was exactly what had happened. What could anyone do?!
Sakura was so frightened she didn't even dare say hello to Sasuke.

Even Shinji was a little surprised this time.
"One isn't enough. At least five."
Seeing him push his luck, Tsunade immediately snapped,
