Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya, standing in the audience on the high platform, helplessly pressed his hand to his forehead, as if recalling some unbearable past event.

Even Orochimaru, who was usually unsmiling, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

I've seen people courting death, but I've never seen anyone so eager to die.

As expected, Tsunade was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then an uncontrollable anger rose on her face.

Although she had come to understand through her own experience that the greatsword Samehada had the ability to steal the chakra of others.

What Suigetsu Hobutaki said actually referred to her chakra.

As a girl, hearing such words felt like being harassed by a disgusting and lewd pervert, and Tsunade felt her hair stand on end.

After a brief moment of distraction, an uncontrollable rage erupted.

Driven by this anger, she clenched her fists tightly, and wisps of electricity crackled across her body.

Still unaware of what had happened, Suigetsu Hozuki slung his large sword over his shoulder, his lips moving slightly as if he were about to say something.

Suddenly, Tsunade in front of him turned into a phantom, and a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the ground where she had been standing.

Tsunade's figure arrived in front of him even faster than the whooshing sound in the air.

She had already leaped into the air, her right hand clenched into a fist and pulled behind her back. A fist that looked small but was actually full of power swung towards him.

Seeing the fist that suddenly appeared in front of him, Suigetsu Fuguki, who already knew Tsunade's strength, dared not underestimate it in the slightest.

He quickly raised the Samehada in his hand to shield himself.

"Clang!~"

A sound like metal clashing resounded throughout the arena, and Suigetsu Hobutsuki felt a tremendous force coming from Samehada in his hand.

Only then did he understand what Pipa Juzo had felt the day before.

His obese body was thrown backward by the immense force, unable to stop it.

Sensing danger, Suigetsu Hozuki plunged his large sword into the ground while airborne to avoid flying off the stage.

Samehada plunged hard into the ground, but fortunately, its barbed design provided good friction.

Even so, he was thrown more than ten meters before stopping, leaving a deep crater several meters deep in front of him.

But before he could stand firmly, a whooshing sound came, and that petite figure reappeared beside him.

Tsunade threw a simple straight punch, but faced with this simple attack, Suigetsu Hozuki could only helplessly raise his weapon to block.

On the arena, Tsunade transformed into a berserker, relentlessly attacking Suigetsu Hozuki.

Her body transformed into streaks of black shadow, only becoming visible when she launched an attack on an enemy.

The gigantic Watermelon Pufferfish Demon seemed helpless against this, and could only passively raise its weapon to defend itself.

Seeing this battle, everyone in the stands looked surprised.

"Wow...this girl is incredibly strong!"

"No way, is this all the legendary Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are capable of?"

Why do we just keep passively taking hits?

"I think your information is a bit outdated. There are no more Seven Musketeers, only Six..."

"right!

That's it!

"Tsunade, go for it! Slam it down!"

The final shout came from Jiraiya's mouth.

Looking at the fat man being beaten below, he seemed to remember something, and roared while waving his hand, his face flushed with excitement.

Kagura, on the other hand, remained calm, as if this situation was entirely within his expectations.

Just looking at the battle situation before him, Uchiha Shizuka, who had been behind him, quietly moved closer to him.

She covered her mouth with both hands, looking delighted, and said:

"Tsunade-neechan is so amazing!"

Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Senju family!

However, when she approached, Tsuchishiro, who was also standing nearby, immediately took a few steps to the side, keeping his distance from her, as if he had a deep fear of her.

This scene naturally did not escape Kagura's notice. He frowned and looked at the two of them with a hint of doubt.

His lips moved slightly, but he ultimately remained silent.

Because of this incident, he became somewhat wary of that tribeswoman and slightly turned away to keep his distance from her.

As for Uchiha Shizuka, she seemed oblivious to everything and continued to watch the battle below.

Faced with Tsunade's relentless attacks, Suigetsu Hozuki felt a pang of bitterness.

This woman is not only faster than me, but she's also incredibly strong.

He simply didn't dare to take a punch from the other person with his own body.

Otherwise, if given even a brief respite, he could turn the tide.

However, Tsunade's relentless attacks left him with no openings, and gradually, he discovered a new crisis.

Unbeknownst to him, under Tsunade's attacks, he began to slowly move away from the center of the arena and had already reached the edge.

If he doesn't come up with a solution, he'll be sent flying off the stage by Tsunade next time and declared the loser.

Tsunade, who was in mid-air, was also aware of this.

Seeing the obese figure already standing at the edge of the ring, she clenched her fists even tighter.

The next strike will decide the victor!

A glint of unwavering confidence flashed in her eyes, and all her chakra gathered in her right hand, as she used all her strength.

However, just as she was about to rush towards him, she witnessed an unexpected scene.

Suigetsu Hozuki placed his weapon beside him, made a simple hand seal, and his bright orange hair behind him suddenly grew longer.

His long hair tightly wrapped around his entire body, and then each strand hardened, turning him into a hedgehog.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya on the stage was stunned.

Isn't this the same as his Needle Jizo Ninjutsu?

Tsunade, who was also familiar with this ninjutsu, was taken aback for a moment, but then a smile appeared on her face.

She didn't change her direction and charged straight at the orange ball of fur.

As she expected, those stiff, needle-like hairs suddenly shot towards her like sharp thorns.

Having anticipated this, she dodged several attacks.

Even if a few strands of hair did fall, they merely brushed past her and tore her clothes.

These dodges did not affect her forward speed; the next second, she was already in front of the tuft of orange fur.

Despite the hard, long spikes covering it, Tsunade fearlessly threw a straight punch.

The tiny fist struck the hard outer shell with a whooshing sound.

The spikes pierced Tsunade's fist in an instant, but they could not stop the fist from advancing.

With a cracking sound, she smashed a large hole in the round outer shell.

Before Suigetsu Hozuki's astonished eyes, a blood-stained straight punch suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before he could react, the straight punch slammed into his fat face, and his body flew backward like a cannonball.

"boom!"

Suigetsu Hozuki's body flew directly over the distance between the ring and the stands, and was smashed into the stands halfway up the mountain.

As the dust and stones settled, his disheveled figure gradually came into view.

Seeing this, the bald examiner immediately appeared in front of Tsunade and announced:

"Tsunade wins this match!"

Tsunade, who had no intention of continuing the pursuit, didn't care. She raised her right hand and turned to look at the audience seats on the high platform.

He raised his head high, looked at his remaining two opponents, and asked loudly:

"Who's next!"

Chapter 58 Explosive Feast

"Who's next!"

As Tsunade's slightly provocative question faded, the entire room fell silent.

This result was truly unexpected for most people.

In terms of appearance, the massive Kisame Hoshigaki, wielding the great sword Samehada, looks much stronger than the petite Tsunade.

In terms of reputation, Kagura's reputation as a "monster" is so great that the three people with him have not become well-known even now.

Compared to the renowned "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist," Tsunade's current reputation is negligible.

However, this seemingly ordinary girl ultimately defeated Suigetsu Hozuki so cleanly and decisively, leaving everyone somewhat unable to accept this reality.

The Water Spinach Fuguki, who had been smashed into a seat in the audience, pushed aside the rubble in front of him and slowly walked out of the small pit.

His face remained calm, showing no sign of resentment or dejection despite his defeat.

He dusted himself off, then calmly walked back to the stage and pulled out the large sword Samehada that was stuck in the ground.

Looking at Tsunade, who held her head high, he spoke:

"I admit you are very strong, and I hope to have the opportunity to compete with you again in the future."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Tsunade's response and turned to walk off the stage.

Looking at the calm-faced Sushiyama Fuguki, Kagura couldn't help but think more highly of this person.

The most terrifying enemy is the person who can maintain a stable mindset even in the face of failure.
