Chapter 8
Clash
With the older generation retiring one after another, Tsunade is the strongest fighter in the Senju clan on the surface.
He excels in both medical ninjutsu and superhuman strength.
Rumor has it that her superhuman strength is no less than that of Hashirama Senju.
Yang Xiang had heard these words over the years, but this was the first time he had personally experienced the true power of the superhuman punch.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Rope Tree reacted instinctively, leaping away as if on cue. He then saw Yang Xiang, who was standing next to him, being sent flying by a punch from his older sister.
Tsunade twisted her wrist, feeling a sense of relief.
The young men in the clan had already described to her in detail how Yang Xiang had brutally beaten up Sheng Shu in the Buddhist hall.
What do you mean by "so easily defeated"? It's like being slapped against the wall with a single blow.
Seeing her younger brother, whose face was bruised and swollen, still staring at her in shock, Tsunade was furious and slapped Nawaki.
"Show some backbone, you bastard!"
Yang Xiang steadied himself and rubbed his cheeks.
Well, Tsunade, you have no sportsmanship, resorting to sneak attacks.
As for superhuman strength, I might not be lacking in that either!
A pair of large gauntlets made of chakra appeared.
This is the most suitable modified version of the Flame-Making Technique that Yang Xiang researched and developed for him.
Fist Blade MAX.
Instead of using flashy but impractical chakra-spraying attacks, it's better to strengthen your basic attacks and increase their visual effects.
Break through!
Tsunade was surprised that Yang Xiang was able to stand up so quickly and charge at her.
Doesn't he know I'm a Jonin?
Are all young people these days so reckless?
But she wouldn't be polite to Yang Xiang just because he was young.
With a crackling sound, Tsunade closed in.
"Take my punch, you little brat!"
Yang Xiang remained silent, only throwing punches.
The two figures collided in mid-air, and the explosive force of their punches raged everywhere.
Fist against fist, leg against leg.
Tsunade pressed forward relentlessly, but Yang Xiang refused to yield an inch.
A sinister grin appeared on both faces simultaneously, and his arm shot towards the other in a violent arc.
Rope Tree was pushed back by the shockwave and fell to the ground with a thud.
Stop fighting!
Seeing the swirling winds and swirling leaves around them as the two fought, Rope Tree immediately looked at Yang Xiang with burning eyes.
As expected of the Hokage's assistant I chose, he's actually on par with my older sister!
strength!
Yang Xiang felt completely refreshed.
This was the first time he had ever used his full strength without restraint.
The spiritual energy in his dantian and meridians surged out from his fist, becoming smoother and smoother with each strike.
With such high power output, he felt that his mammary glands were clear.
Ora ora ora!
Dipped in soybeans, so refreshing!
Tsunade felt that her mammary glands were blocked.
What's going on here?
His superhuman strength was actually blocked by a kid who had just graduated.
Moreover, he was also subtly at a disadvantage.
This was the first time she had encountered an opponent who could withstand her monstrous strength.
In the past, her opponents either dodged or used ninjutsu to restrain her; no one had ever fought her head-on.
Just as she was lost in thought, Yang Xiang raised his right hand.
His body was shaped like a bow, his power lines were fully extended, and his abundant chakra was almost gathered in his palms into a visible glove.
It suddenly slammed down on Tsunade.
Eat my dunk!
Tsunade tried her best to raise her arms, but she couldn't stop him. She could only watch helplessly as Yang Xiang's palm slapped her chest, knocking her down from the air.
The outcome is decided, and both of them are now at ease.
Yang Xiang landed, let out a long sigh of relief, and finished his practice.
Tsunade's current strength is only that of a Jonin who has only recently become one. After this sparring match, Yang Xiang can also have a better understanding of his own abilities.
Tsunade got up from the ground, picked up Nawaki without saying a word, and turned to leave.
See you next time, Yang Xiang!
Rope Tree, who was being lifted up by his belt, made a famous hand gesture towards Yang Xiang.
You are this!
Yang Xiang waved to the siblings and began to examine his haul.
A cyan longsword appeared in his hand, and with a surge of spiritual power, a ring of pale golden lightning flashed and disappeared.
This is what Tsunade received after her defeat.
The system detected that the host, being a disciple outside the main sect, was attacking a core disciple, thus completing the achievement "Reversing the Heavenly Gang".
Rewards are now being distributed: Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword (Talisman Treasure)
With a flick of his fingers, the longsword transformed into a talisman that floated down and was tucked into Yang Xiang's pocket.
Surprisingly, there was no one in the courtyard today.
Yang Xiang looked around but couldn't find his grandmother. Then he was told that she had gone out.
Without giving it much thought, he locked himself in his room and devoted himself to studying the Qingyuan Sword Technique.
Having already reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, he is about to begin preparations for Foundation Establishment.
The technique arrived at just the right time.
Although he has never obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill, it is possible for him to establish his foundation on his own, given his wood-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root.
What he needs to do now is to switch to the new cultivation method as soon as possible.
"Hey, what's up with that kid?"
The siblings sat facing each other, and Tsunade was questioning Nawaki.
Rope Tree was completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Tsunade's chest still ached a little when she thought about the scene of the two of them exchanging blows.
"That kid's ridiculously strong!"
Rope Tree looked at her older sister with a puzzled expression.
"No problem, right? Yang Xiang has always been very strong."
Nawaki's words made Tsunade feel even more upset, and she turned to look at her younger brother.
His face was bruised and swollen, and he spoke with a lisp.
Aren't they the same age?
"Useless!" Tsunade sneered.
Rope Tree: ?
What did I do now?
Hiruzen Sarutobi begins his evening news segment.
After receiving the intelligence report from the Dark Guard, he immediately began smoking his pipe heavily after reading only the first piece of information.
The ninja world is becoming increasingly dangerous; another squad has returned severely injured today.
It's not peaceful. Ninjas from different countries are constantly moving between the borders, killing each other on sight.
Now it's up to each side to break through the defenses and start the war.
Next item.
The barrier over the Senju clan's territory opened without warning.
hiss~
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his cigarette. "What the Senju family is up to now?"
There's no peace in or around the village.
Then look down.
The individuals within the clan's territory have been identified, including Zhengjie, Shengshu, Yangxiang, Daguang, etc.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
An old codger and a bunch of kids.
It was probably that kid Rope Tree who caused all this trouble.
Hiruzen Sarutobi silently turned the page; there was no need to pay any more attention to this piece of information.
Although they are from the Senju clan, what kind of trouble can a bunch of kids possibly get into?
The two strongest ones inside are just two recent graduates; do you think I don't know their strength?
Could there be a Hashirama Senju hiding inside?
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and chuckled.
While Yang Xiang was studying diligently inside the house, Tao Hua returned, bathed in moonlight.
She walked through the courtyard with a somber expression until she saw the light in her grandson's room, at which point she stopped.
A person stood quietly by the pond, lost in thought.
After a long pause, she spat on the ground.
"The evil, vortex-like old woman!"
She seduced Hashirama back then, and now she's even set her sights on Yang Xiang!
Meanwhile, in the main house on the other side, Mito Uzumaki called Tsunade and her brother to his side.
She tentatively asked Tsunade:
"What do you think of Yang Xiang, this little guy?"
