Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

Tsunade said.

Even without Tsunade saying anything, Ye Chen had already sensed the strength of this group of Sand Ninja, and the older woman leading the group, wearing a white robe and a black hood, looked familiar.

"Shall we retreat, Lady Tsunade!"

Uchiha Mikoto asked, now that she was wearing a tengu mask, as the Anbu had to conceal their identities while out in the open.

Ye Chen was also wearing the Rakshasa Mask! "It's too late, they've already discovered us."

Tsunade said.

"It's Chiyo, a puppeteer from the Sand Village, a veteran Jonin who has been famous for a long time and whose strength should not be underestimated."

Tsunade recognized the person who had come.

"Hehehe, so it's Tsunade, the Third Hokage's student. I thought you died at the hands of the Iwa ninja."

As the Sand Ninja team approached, Chiyo revealed a sinister smile.

Chapter 98 Fusion Taijutsu with Tsunade (Third Update)

　Chiyo, Sasori's grandmother, is at her peak, a top-tier puppeteer whose strength even Hanzo finds somewhat troublesome.

Because during the Second Shinobi World War, Chiyo also dealt with the poison of the salamander.

Compared to Tsunade, Chiyo's poison skills are almost on par with Hanzo's. Moreover, combined with her puppetry skills, the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Guards, at their peak, could potentially destroy an entire city single-handedly. And Chiyo is currently at her peak.

Both mentally and physically! "You... you really didn't die. It seems those useless geeks from Iwagakure still can't kill you."

Chiyo's expression turned slightly cold as she looked at Tsunade.

She initially guessed that Tsunade was not dead, and that several waves of Iwa ninja had died, suffering heavy losses.

Tsunade noticed that there were more than twenty Sand Village ninjas around Chiyo, and frowned slightly. Another fierce battle was about to begin, but when she thought of Yoruichi beside her, she felt relieved.

Mikoto Uchiha's expression turned serious. Things were about to get tough; at the very least... she couldn't let Yoruichi and Lady Tsunade down! "You didn't die either, did you?"

Old woman.

Tsunade retorted sharply.

At this time, Chiyo was at most around forty years old. She had been famous for a long time, but she was not an old woman.

However, those who practice puppetry are generally insidious and use dirty tricks, and Chiyo has always been at odds with Hanzo.

So Hanzo called Chiyo a "stinky old woman." Who was Hanzo? A demigod in the ninja world. Since he said that, others followed suit.

"Hmph! Sharp-tongued and sarcastic."

Chiyo gave a cold snort, while the Sand Village ninjas around her were already subtly surrounding Yoru and Tsunade.

Chiyo is a puppeteer, but she is also extremely skilled in medical ninjutsu and poison techniques.

Tsunade is not skilled in using poison, but she is far superior to Chiyo in medical ninjutsu and detoxification! The two can be said to be inherently incompatible, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other.

The poisons that Honchiyo had prepared on the battlefield during World War II had been very effective, but they were completely suppressed in Konoha.

It is because of Tsunade's existence that, although Chiyo and Tsunade have never fought each other directly, they have fought each other countless times in terms of poison techniques and antidotes.

Using poison, detoxifying! If the two are not from the same person, they are destined not to coexist.

"Lady Chiyo, there are no other Konoha ninjas around."

Just then, a sensory-type Sand Ninja walked up to Chiyo and reported in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this news, Chiyo was immediately taken aback.

It seems that Tsunade has not yet received support from the Konoha ninjas. She only has two ANBU members by her side, just two ANBU members, and she doesn't take them seriously.

He'd really gotten lucky with the Iwa ninja! What a golden opportunity! If he spared Tsunade and killed her now, it would be a huge blow to Konoha.

However... Chiyo hesitated. She wasn't an Iwa ninja, nor was she inherently bloodthirsty; at most, she was competitive and ruthless! Tsunade, after all, had a special status—the princess of the Senju clan and the Third Hokage's personal disciple. If she killed her, the Sand Ninja would certainly face Konoha's furious retaliation.

Although the Sand Village is not afraid of retaliation, the Third Kazekage is the strongest of all generations.

But if the two great ninja villages were to fight each other, wouldn't a third party reap the benefits?

A living Tsunade is far greater than a dead one! Killing Tsunade would incur the hatred of Konoha and the Hokage lineage.

Capturing Tsunade and using her to threaten Konoha into giving up land in exchange would be entirely beneficial to them.

If Hanzo could consider this idea in the original work, Chiyo certainly could too! If Hanzo hadn't taken drastic measures in the end, there probably wouldn't be any legends about Mimori in later generations.

Because he had considered this crucial point! The living are more valuable than the dead! "Tsunade, should I say it's my luck or your misfortune? You just escaped from those Iwa ninja, only to run right into me again."

A faint smile appeared on Chiyo's face.

“We are not…Iwa ninja’s trash. You, the best medical ninja in Konoha, should just surrender today to avoid getting hurt.”

"Really? You won't kill me?"

Tsunade looked at Chiyo.

"Your life brings us far greater benefits than your death!"

Chiyo said.

"That depends on whether you have the ability to keep us here."

Tsunade stood proudly, her aura in no way inferior, and even exuding a calm and composed demeanor, which alone suppressed Chiyo.

After all, she is the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, the niece of the Second Hokage, and the student of the Third Hokage.

Moreover, she had Ye Chen by her side, and she was very clear about Ye Chen's strength.

Thirty-two Iwa ninja were wiped out by him alone, so what are a mere twenty-odd Sand ninja? Moreover, there are three of them, and Uchiha Mikoto is an elite Chunin. With the Sharingan, she might have an unexpected effect.

"Arrogant little brat! Even if I don't kill you, I'll make you suffer."

Chiyo gave a cold laugh.

Given her age, she certainly has the right to call Tsunade a little girl, after all, she is her junior.

Sasori's parents were already on the battlefield, and both were renowned strongmen.

Uh... although he might be about to be killed by White Fang.

"Mikoto, take care of yourself!"

"Ye Chen, let's work together, brother and sister, and have a quick and easy fight today."

Tsunade said.

Having been relentlessly pursued by Iwa ninja, it was truly frustrating! Now, at her peak strength and with reinforcements, Tsunade is ready to make her move! "Hmm!"

Ye Chen nodded.

Chiyo gave a cold look at Tsunade and suddenly gave an order, and the Sand Village ninjas rushed forward in unison.

In Chiyo's view, Tsunade and the two ANBU were only three people, and under siege, they had no chance against them, and could not even escape.

Fire Release: Flame Dragon!

"Wind Release: Tornado Burst!"

Fire Release: Great Fireball!

In an instant, more than ten ninjas simultaneously unleashed fire and wind ninjutsu.

The fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind fueled the fire! Meanwhile, the other ninjas threw out various shuriken and kunai, combining fire and wind techniques.

Boom!! The wind and fire raged, creating an incredibly powerful spectacle, as if the dark clouds in the sky had turned red, and the rain and muddy earth had been scorched dry! A long dragon of fire roared past, burning everything in its path, directly drying up all the rain! Ye Chen and Tsunade exchanged a glance and stood in a row in tacit understanding, with Uchiha Mikoto standing behind them.

"Weird punch!"

"Armed color hardened!"

The two moved in sync, their bodies drawn into a semi-circular bowstring, and with one arm they swung outwards, striking the air in front of them! Boom! The air exploded with a deafening roar, like a cannon blast.

The turbulent air currents formed a tornado, and it was extremely powerful.

It almost completely overshadowed the combined ninjutsu used by the dozen or so ninjas.

The terrifying, monstrous strength shook all directions, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Chapter 99 Tsunade vs. Chiyo (Fourth Update)

　The ultimate power can shatter the void! Tsunade and Yoruichi are both practitioners of superhuman strength, and their power surpasses that of ordinary strongmen! Especially Tsunade, who has cultivated superhuman strength for many years, is probably unmatched in the entire ninja world when it comes to power.

Now, his full-force, peak strike is like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, its power overwhelming mountains and rivers.

Although Ye Chen cultivated the latter, his superhuman strength was not as profound as Tsunade's, and his overall compression force was only around 20%.

However, with the added power of Armament Haki and the body modification from the Human-Human Fruit, the Buddha's strength increased dramatically, and the force of this punch was not much less than that of Tsunade. ... At this moment, under the combined unparalleled strength of the two, the double power caused the sky and earth to collapse and the air to suddenly explode, emitting a piercing shriek.

Besides... where Ye Chen and Tsunade stood, the ground on both sides in front of them showed signs of cracking. The violent shaking caused waves like ocean surging across the muddy ground, spreading in all directions! Almost effortlessly, it shattered the Fire Release and Wind Release techniques! The fire dragon was destroyed, and the wind was dispersed! The aftershocks of the monstrous strength transformed into rings of air waves, directly pushing back the nearby Sand Ninja, some even being blasted away by the force of the punch! The power of that single punch was terrifying! Seeing this, Tsunade proudly raised her head, looking at Chiyo with a provocative expression.

"Such incredible strength!"

Chiyo's expression turned solemn.

And that… the ANBU member with the Rakshasa mask is so powerful! Judging by her eyesight, he's at least a Jonin, perhaps even a squad leader in the ANBU.

Tsunade is, after all, a medical ninja and a princess of the Senju clan, so it's normal for her to have powerful ANBU protection.

"Tsunade, you don't need to lift a finger. I can handle you all by myself."
