, Part 1

Just as Iwagakure and Uzumaki Kouichi were chatting and laughing, a sudden sense of crisis struck, making their hair stand on end!

Without the slightest hesitation, they simultaneously leaped to either side to dodge.

The next second, a figure fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily onto the spot where the two had just stood. The ground of the training ground cracked and dust billowed up.

If they hadn't dodged in time, that kick would probably have landed on them.

Amidst the swirling dust, a head of blond hair, a fair face, and enormous... appeared.

Who is this person?

The Iwa ninja leader was taken aback when he saw that round figure, then looked at the face that had appeared and exclaimed in surprise:

"Tsunade of Konoha!"

Upon hearing Iwa ninja's words, Uzumaki Hikaru realized what was happening and shifted his gaze to the newcomer's face. This must be Tsunade.

His cheeks flushed red.

Those words I just said were probably all heard.

"I heard there's someone here who can't even withstand a single punch from me?"

Tsunade's voice rang out coldly.

Yang Xiang and his group arrived at the training ground shortly afterward, where a number of Iwa ninja and Uzumaki clan members had already gathered to watch the spectacle.

She straightened up, walked up to the two of them, and put her hands on her hips:

"Who said that just now? Today, I, Tsunade, really want to see what's going on."

The leader of the Iwa ninja remained silent.

He wasn't afraid of Tsunade, just a young Jonin who had just started to rise to prominence.

However, he has already achieved his goal of sowing discord, so there is no need to cause any more trouble.

Kouichi Uzumaki, however, stepped forward despite his reluctance.

"I'm very sorry... but I really want to fight a Senju clan ninja. Please let me see your strength."

Tsunade stared at him with an unfriendly look.

Although these words made her extremely unhappy, given her status, it was indeed inconvenient for her to take action against the Whirlpool Clan in Whirlpool Village.

She not only represents Konoha, but also symbolizes the faces of the Senju and the Third Hokage, involving too many things.

He had only intended to scare the young man away, but to his surprise, the hothead actually proposed a contest.

If we retreat now, wouldn't we become a laughing stock for the Iwa ninja nearby?

In a flash, Tsunade had an idea.

"I am a Jonin of Konoha, a disciple of the Third Hokage. If word gets out that I'm fighting a brat like you, it will make us look like Konoha is bullying us!"

After Tsunade finished speaking, Koichi was about to chime in.

Tell her there's no need for that; he's already the invincible Uzumaki who has defeated all the Iwa ninja.

But then she changed the subject, pointing behind her:

"To be fair, we also have two kids on our team who are around your age. You can choose one."

Following her gaze, Koichi Uzumaki met the eyes of Yosho and Nawaki, who were also looking at him curiously.

Helpless, he had no choice but to back down, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to challenge Tsunade after defeating the boy from Konoha.

His gaze swept over Rope Tree; he was thin and much younger than the others, so choosing him to win would be unfair.

Then he looked at Yang Xiang, whose face was still young, but who was half a head taller than him.

He's the one.

Seeing that Uzumaki Kouichi had indeed chosen Yang Xiang, Tsunade unconsciously touched her cheek, a smile curving her lips.

"If you choose this gentleman... you're in for a lot of trouble."

The two distanced themselves, forming a seal of opposition.

Yang Xiang pondered to himself: How can I make the other side admit defeat gracefully?

After all, they are members of the Uzumaki clan. If they make too much of a scene, it will be difficult to clean up the mess later.

The two figures darted out simultaneously, exchanging blows and probing blows several times.

Swirl Light was slightly surprised.

This young man was not old, but his physical skills were very solid and his physical fitness was extremely strong.

Especially when cornering, his punches are very fast and his moves are quick.

It's amazing that it can be just as good as its normal self.

The Senju clan is indeed extraordinary.

"You're quite good, young man... Now, I'm going to get serious!"

Yang Xiang looked at Uzumaki Kouichi beckoning to him and then struck a transformation pose.

"What are you trying to do?"

Whirlpool Light let out a loud shout, his face turning bright red, and he shifted his weight downwards.

Pale blue light spots appeared on his body, forming a thin layer on his skin; this was the secret technique of the Senju family.

Chakra Burst Mode.

"What... what is this shape?!"

On the sidelines, Tsunade and Nawaki simultaneously sharpened their gazes.

Upon seeing the changes in Uzumaki Kouichi, Tsunade and Nawaki immediately recognized it as their family's secret technique.

Entering burst mode, Vortex Light's speed surged, its figure like lightning, rushing straight towards Yang Xiang!

"Is that a chakra burst?" Nawaki turned to look at her sister.

"That's right," Tsunade affirmed.

"The Uzumaki and Senju clans had close exchanges in their early years, and there are records in the clans that their ancestors once gifted the Uzumaki clan with scrolls of chakra bursts and super strength fists."

However… this is truly the first time I've heard of a Uzumaki clan member mastering this technique.

It's important to know that the core strength of bloodline ninja clans is often tied to their bloodline.

The ninja clan's secret techniques, through generations of improvement, have long been linked to bloodline limits.

Even though Uzumaki and Senju are blood relatives.

However, Hikari Uzumaki, being a member of the Uzumaki clan, was able to master the Thousand Hands Technique.

To some extent, this person is indeed exceptionally talented.

Her gaze was fixed on the scene.

At this moment, Uzumaki Kouichi was manipulating chakra, which spun and leaped around Yang Xiang.

To avoid injuring his opponent, he even deliberately suppressed the power of his superhuman strength punch.

"Young man of the Thousand Hands, this is your secret technique—how was my performance?"

Seeing that Yang Xiang seemed to only be able to parry his attacks and that he was somewhat at a loss, Uzumaki Kouichi spoke with no small amount of pride.

Using someone else's secret techniques, you can defeat your opponent so decisively that they have no chance to retaliate.

This feeling is exhilarating!

At this moment, the vortex light, possessed by a minotaur, spun even faster.

Upon hearing Uzumaki Kouichi's words, Yang Xiang calmly replied:

"generally."

"?"

Upon hearing Yang Xiang's answer, Vortex Light paused in his tracks.

What's generally?

Who are you calling average?!

When the hoe was on the day of the day, Khan dripped down the soil.

Do you know how much I suffered to master these two moves?

How come it's just average?

Yes, I can't be just an ordinary person.

Once Hikaru realized that the Thousand Hands boy in front of him must be being stubborn because he couldn't beat him.

Feeling relieved, he said in a joking tone:

"I'm sorry, but I hope using such power in front of the Senju clan doesn't make you too happy. But there's nothing I can do... this is my strength."

Upon hearing this, the crowd watching from the sidelines went wild.

The leader of the Iwa ninja shook his head and chuckled. Konoha was indeed getting worse with each generation.

The young members of the Uzumaki clan chanted in unison, "Koichi! Koichi!"

Only the three from Konoha had strange expressions. Nawaki couldn't help but give Uzumaki Kouichi a thumbs-up:

Brother, you're this guy.

"Who gave him the courage? Doesn't he know Yang Xiang's strength?" Jiraiya couldn't help but ask.

Then he instantly realized that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known Yang Xiang's strength.

My face is still throbbing slightly.

Hearing what Kouichi Uzumaki said, Yang Xiang couldn't tell if the guy was really that optimistic or just getting carried away.

Didn't you see that I blocked all your attacks?

If you see that your opponent's health bar hasn't moved after you've finished a combo, shouldn't you run away?
