Tsunade sat before the dressing table, holding a wooden comb and slowly combing her long golden hair. In the mirror, her face bore a trace of fatigue left by her Quake Release training that day. Her Quake Release had reached the very limit of Peak Kage level. The vibration frequency of her "Mountain-Breaking Fist" had doubled compared to several months ago, and the coverage of "Sea Splitter" had expanded to dozens of meters. But she always felt she was just a little short-just a little short of breaking through the threshold of Super Kage. Just that little bit.
Toyotomi Yinglang pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a cup of hot tea.
"Finished training?"
"Yes."
Tsunade put down the wooden comb, took the teacup, and sipped.
"The vibration frequency of Mountain-Breaking Fist has reached its limit. Any higher, and my body won't be able to take it."
"Then stop for a while."
Toyotomi Yinglang sat down beside her.
"A breakthrough in Quake Release requires your body and mind to improve together. Your body has already reached the limit of Peak Kage level, but your spiritual energy is still a little short. Once you train your Color of Armament to the intermediate level, Mountain-Breaking Fist will naturally break through."
Tsunade nodded and took another sip of tea.
"Yinglang, there's something I've been meaning to ask."
"Go ahead."
"What exactly... is Color of the Supreme King?"
Toyotomi Yinglang looked at her and fell silent for a moment.
"Color of the Supreme King is the manifestation of 'king's aptitude.' It isn't something you acquire through training. You're born with it. Only one person in a million qualifies to train Color of the Supreme King."
Tsunade frowned
