Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 166 Tsunade's Test

Are you kidding me?

Upon hearing this, Tsunade almost wanted to punch Chiga on the head.

If Sage Mode could be learned through practice, it would be commonplace in the ninja world long ago.

As the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage, Tsunade needs to understand Sage Mode better.

That natural energy can combine with chakra to bring about powerful strength.

However, if one is not careful, the natural energy can erode the petrification process.

Even her great-uncle Tobirama Senju had not fully mastered Sage Mode.

However, everyone has their own secrets, and Tsunade wouldn't delve into how Chiga learned Sage Mode.

After a moment of silence, Tsunade said, "Now, show me your Sage Mode."

"Here?"

Upon hearing this, Chiga was puzzled, but still said, "Then, Lady Tsunade, you'll have to wait a moment while I gather some natural energy."

Tsunade asked in surprise, "Um, can't we go in right away?"

"Do you think I'm your grandpa? You can just come in whenever you want."

Chiga blurted it out, but halfway through, she realized she was doomed.

[Negative emotions from Tsunade, emotion value +30!]

"Kid, how far do you think you're going to fly?"

Tsunade clenched her fist, narrowed her eyes, and sneered.

Seeing this, Chiga quickly came up with a plan to salvage the situation, saying, "Um... Lady Tsunade, I'll start collecting natural energy right now!"

"I cannot be stimulated when I am collecting natural energy!"

After saying that, he immediately sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Tsunade could only suppress her anger and silently wait for Chiga to finish.

"Sage Mode!"

A dozen minutes later, Chiga probably felt that Tsunade's anger had subsided, and then he reluctantly entered Sage Mode.

Tsunade stared at Chiga in Sage Mode, slightly taken aback, and a look of nostalgia for the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, appeared on her face.

However, she quickly regained her composure and then carefully examined Qianhe at that moment.

She then reached out a hand towards Chiga, seemingly wanting to touch off Chiga's mask.

This old woman is trying to seduce me?!

Just as Chiga was considering whether or not to let Tsunade take advantage of him, the hand suddenly clenched into a fist and smashed straight at his forehead.

Chiga's eyes narrowed. He stood still without dodging, but instead reached out and covered Tsunade's fist.

Bang!

The moment the fist and palm made contact, a dull thud was produced, followed by an invisible ripple that suddenly spread out, overturning the tables and chairs in the command center.

Chiga then took several steps back.

Seeing this, Tsunade's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Then, she stomped her foot and clenched her fist again. Her figure rushed out and instantly appeared in front of Chiga. Then she threw another punch.

Boom boom boom—

Chiga was not afraid of Tsunade at all and met her attack with his own fist. For a moment, booming sounds came from the command center, mainly from the two of them clashing head-on, accompanied by the sound of the earth cracking.

Although both of them were consciously controlling their power, they still managed to destroy all the tables and chairs in the room, as well as the sand table placed in the middle.

When Nara Shikaku, the staff officer outside, heard the commotion in the command post, his expression immediately changed.

When he entered the house, he saw Chiga and Tsunade fighting.

Nara Shikaku asked, "Lady Tsunade, what happened?"

Seeing someone enter, Tsunade stopped attacking Chiga and simply replied, "It's nothing, just testing this kid's true strength."

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku almost blurted out "MMP" in his mind.

Is the command center a place where one can do whatever one wants?

He thought Tsunade had been assassinated!

But in front of Tsunade, he didn't dare say anything. He could only helplessly use Earth Release ninjutsu to restore the sand table in the command center back to its original state, muttering to himself, "This is the fifth time, isn't it!"

Tsunade has a fiery temper, and she likes to smash things with her fists whenever she loses a battle. It seems that this sand table has been used as a punching bag quite often.

"Go down, and take Yekura with you!"

Tsunade waved her hand, and then had Nara Shikaku take the still unconscious Yekura away.

She then said to Chiga with satisfaction, "Not bad. Although I haven't used my full strength yet, you were able to hold out for so long. It seems that Sage Mode has greatly enhanced your abilities."

"Lady Tsunade, please give me a heads-up next time before you act, otherwise you might scare someone to death!"

Chiga exited Sage Mode and grumbled.

At that moment, he thought that Tsunade had found out about him cheating her out of her gambling money!

Tsunade ignored Chiga's complaints, but looked at him with a meaningful gaze and said, "Chiga, it's really a waste of your talents to have you deliver information."

Chiga knew immediately that Tsunade was going to give him more responsibilities.

Chiga, who was already somewhat lazy, was reluctant to work anymore and used Shizune as a shield.

"Lady Tsunade, I still have Shizune in my party! It's easy to leave her unattended if we go to dangerous places."

Unfortunately, Tsunade had already made up her mind and said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. Let Shizune stay with the medical team at headquarters. It'll be a good opportunity for her to improve her medical ninjutsu!"

Seeing that silencing the enemy had no effect, Chiga switched to another person, saying, "My team also includes Sarutobi Asuma, the beloved son of the Third Hokage!"

"Heh, that's perfect. I've been a bit angry with the old man anyway. Since I can't beat him, I can only collect some interest from his son first. When the old man gets old, I'll come back and beat him up."

Mentioning Sarutobi Asuma made Tsunade even happier. She was already overwhelmed by the complicated and tedious things on the front lines, and she was just happy to have someone to vent her frustrations on!

Chiga said helplessly, "Is Lady Tsunade really going to drain me dry?"

"Don't put it so harshly, those who are capable should do more."

"Besides, to decipher all those different poisons that old hag Chiyo uses, I lose a ton of brain cells every day, and my chest has even shrunk from exhaustion!"

"And you, little brat, are trying to slack off?!"

At this point, Tsunade rolled up her sleeves, clenched her fists, and sneered, "Hmph! Who dares to refuse what I've arranged?! You have no choice but to do it today!"

That kind of character.

Chiga suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity; wasn't that the expression on Kushina's face when she forced Asuma?

Okay, he finally understood where Kushina learned this trick from.

Since Tsunade had already said so much, Chiga understood that Tsunade had already planned how to arrange things for him.

A higher rank can have absolute power, especially when the other party is threatening with force. Chiga could only sigh and ask, "So, Lady Tsunade, what do you intend for me to do?"
