A Showdown Between Two Women? Like Fire and Water (continued)

The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly.

But Mei Terumi and the other Kirigakure Ninja all couldn't help but change their expressions drastically.

One by one, people stared in disbelief at the young man who had suddenly stepped forward, his face filled with resolute determination.

How much does Qingping truly cherish this eye?

They know it very well.

Nobody expected it.

The other party surprisingly agreed to hand over the Byakugan roll.

"I'm willing to give up my Byakugan..."

Qing's face was solemn.

She stopped Mei Terumi and the others who were about to speak but then stopped themselves.

Looking directly at Tsunade, Rikuto, and the others, he said in a deep voice, "But I hope you can keep your promise and not add any other conditions. The Six-Tails Jinchuriki must be handed over to Kirigakure intact!"

His tone was calm, without any anger.

But those fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging.

But it revealed his inner resentment.

"Oh?"

Rikuto raised an eyebrow.

Tsunade, Shizune, and the others looked at Ao, who had stepped forward voluntarily to return the Byakugan, with some surprise.

I initially thought they were most likely to take action.

"Can..."

Tsunade nodded.

She glanced at the two or three scattered corpses of Kirigakure Anbu around her and said casually, "Since you agreed so readily, I can transplant an eye for you. Just consider it making use of something that's been sitting there..."

No need for you to trouble yourself...

Mei Terumi, standing to the side, resolutely refused.

His gaze, seemingly spitting fire, glared unceremoniously at Tsunade, his teeth clenched. "We in Kirigakure also have medical-nin. Although they may not be as skilled as you, they are more than capable of transplanting an eye for Ao!"

"Whatever you want..."

Seeing Mei Terumi's barely suppressed anger and frustrated expression...

Tsunade shrugged slightly and smiled softly.

All that talk about doing it for Konoha and taking back the Byakugan for the Hyuga is a lie.

Although she still considers herself a member of Konoha, she's too lazy to bother with so many trivial matters.

The reason he was so forceful in demanding that Kirigakure return the Byakugan was simply because he disliked this somewhat alluring and younger fox spirit, especially since she was so attentive to Rikuto...

I felt even more annoyed.

It was as if a beloved toy was about to be taken away.

It's a bit congested and I feel uncomfortable.

That's why he didn't hesitate to declare that he would take back the Byakugan he had lost abroad.

We must thoroughly suppress this woman's arrogance.

Looking at this woman, who, according to Rikuto, was very likely to become the Fifth Mizukage in the future, her face was ashen, and she was glaring at him with gritted teeth.

Tsunade remained calm and unfazed, as if nothing had happened.

Deep down, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and extreme comfort.

Even if you actually get in, Mei Terumi will only ever be the junior, obediently standing behind me and pushing...

Oh no, ptooey ptooey ptooey...

She doesn't want to become part of that Rikuto Ren's harem!

However, Tsunade was quite satisfied with the Rikuto's upright and clear attitude and stance.

Although this young man was a lecher, fortunately he wasn't completely bewitched by this vixen.

They didn't try to smooth things over there, nor did they feign madness.

Without saying a word, they immediately and without hesitation stood on my side.

Although I always wanted to be a rebellious disciple.

But overall, they still respect their teachers and value their teachings.

It was all worth it for her, as a teacher, to have worked so hard to cultivate the other person.

[Tonight, we can give this kid a reward!]

Tsunade glanced at Rikuto with admiration, Tsunade to herself.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible blush appeared on her pretty face.

This is definitely not because I've fallen for someone.

She was just giving the little devil a small treat because he was behaving well, to prevent him from being bewitched by some vixen from another village one day.

Yes, that's it.

I found a reason that I could use to convince myself.

Suddenly, Tsunade felt righteous and self-assured.

"However, I need to say in advance that my Byakugan is sealed with Cursed Seal, and it cannot be removed by ordinary means..."

It was as if he had lost all his spirits.

Qing remained expressionless and spoke directly.

"It's alright, I have some knowledge of Sealing Jutsu!" Rikuto walked up to Qing.

A pair of deep, dark eyes.

Under the shrugging gazes of Ao, Mei Terumi, and the others.

It suddenly turned crimson, filled with red Chakra.

"That is..."

"Dōjutsu?"

Red eyes?

The Hidden Kirigakure Ninja present.

Looking into Rikuto's eyes, they were all shocked.

"Don't resist..."

The right hand of the Rikuto.

It was pressed directly onto Qing's right eye socket.

"Brush..."

Without any warning.

All that could be seen was above Qing's right eye.

Suddenly, a dense array of Sealing Jutsu appeared.

Cover up that Byakugan to prevent it from being gouged out by the Rikuto.

"Buzz..." Visible blue Chakra permeated his five fingers.

In an instant, the complex technique was torn apart.

It slammed down hard onto Qing's pale white eyeball.

"Sizzle..."

"Ahhh..."

Blood splattered.

Qing screamed in agony there.

Rikuto brutally gouged out a stark white eyeball.

Some of it was bloody.

Witnessing this scene.

The ninjas of Hidden Village.

They all gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.

They dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

"So, can we leave now with the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?" Ao was sweating profusely, his only remaining eyes fixed on Tsunade.

"Go ahead!"

Tsunade naturally did not stop her.

She was never interested in Tailed Beast to begin with.

"However, if I were you, I wouldn't keep the Tailed Beast alive..."

She was there, offering a kind reminder.

Thinking of the contents of the Uchiha Stone Tablet that Rikuto had introduced.

She thought that if that Madara Uchiha was really still alive...

Therefore, possessing Tailed Beast might not necessarily be a good thing for Kirigakure.

"This is an internal matter of our Kirigakure, no need for Tsunade to trouble herself..." Mei Terumi's expression was cold, no longer showing the same kindness she had shown Tsunade before.

Looking at Ao, whose face was Anbu in pain and who was being supported by other Kirigakure members.

With a hint of reluctance, Shizune, sighed softly, and asked, "Do you need any help with treatment?"

"No..."

At this time.

A skilled Medical Ninjutsu from the Kirigakure Anbu has already stepped forward to provide emergency treatment to Ao.

Mei Terumi looked at Tsunade rather smug.

Being proud and arrogant, she clearly couldn't swallow this insult.

"I never imagined I'd have the honor of meeting the legendary Sannin today, and even witnessing the long-lost Wood Release. What a stroke of luck!"

Mei Terumi was speaking there, seemingly in a tone of admiration.

Before Tsunade even smile, he abruptly changed the subject, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "But I've heard that Tsunade is already a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. To be able to act like an eighteen-year-old Tenten at such an advanced age—her medical skills are truly enviable!"

"..."

Karin and Shizune were both startled.

Even the Rikuto's eyelids twitched a little.

This girl can't swallow her anger; she's deliberately provoking Tsunade's bottom line.

Women are most sensitive about others mentioning their age.

Especially for Tsunade's age.

"Little girl from Kirigakure, who are you calling an old lady?"

Upon hearing this—

Tsunade bulged with veins.

His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

She glared at Mei Terumi with murderous intent.
