Aoba's gaze sharpened, and he immediately activated all his defenses to the maximum, including the "Thorn Aura."
Boom!
Using her monstrous strength, Tsunade responded with a pull-down move and a powerful knee strike!
A burst of white energy instantly exploded in a circle behind him...
A piercing pain surged through Aoba's abdomen, a sweetness in his throat, and fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, though his mask obscured it.
Though his defenses were not penetrated, a force bypassed the outer defenses and reached inside.
Tsunade's attack was accompanied by a wave-like force that exploded layer by layer!
Aoba then remembered that it would first explode a bit whenever Tsunade struck the ground. Then, the real power would spread outward layer by layer, eventually forming a large crater rather than causing damage with a direct punch or kick.
This meant that Tsunade's control over her strength and chakra was unimaginably precise!
Otherwise, how could she be ranked alongside Jiraiya and Orochimaru as one of the three legendary Sannin with just this move?
No exaggeration, Aoba felt that even a tiny mountain would be shattered by the internal force at the moment of explosion, turning to dust!
However, Tsunade was also not having an easy time; the more robust the attack she unleashed, the greater the backlash she received from the "Thorn Aura."
She thought her last move would have significantly reduced her opponent's fighting capability, but instead, he took it without much trouble while her knee was shattered, which truly surprised her!
"What is this guy's body made of? How can it be so hard? Then a massive force immediately rebounded back..."
Tsunade found this situation troublesome, but that was all.
However, relying solely on her recovery and the slugs' healing was no longer sufficient...
After hesitation, Tsunade's gaze turned cold again, and the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead expanded!
"Yin Seal Release!"
"Ninjutsu · Creation Rebirth · Strength of a Hundred Technique!"
Strange seal patterns instantly spread over her entire body, and with the Yin Seal released, the chakra Tsunade had stored through the Yin Seal was immediately infused throughout her body!
Not only did the quantity of chakra surge, multiplying her monstrous strength several times, but even her physical qualities and functions were significantly enhanced.
The simplest example was that Aoba suddenly felt pain in the shoulder Tsunade was gripping, indicating that her next attack would be strong enough to break his defense.
After Tsunade amplified "Creation Rebirth" with the "Strength of a Hundred Technique," the injuries on her body virtually disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Infinite mana regeneration buff + infinite health regeneration buff + normal attack 999999...
Who exactly is cheating here?!
Aoba was utterly speechless; compared to the cheats in Naruto, he showed nothing!
At least his mana and stamina were never enough!
Boom!
Boom!
Since Aoba couldn't escape from Tsunade's embarrassingly monstrous strength, he had no choice but to engage in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the earnest Tsunade, opting for a 'top lane 1v1 male-female battle.'
With his whole force, he punched a big hole in Tsunade's abdomen, nearly breaking her in half.
Similarly, Tsunade, also using her full strength, closed her eyes and blasted through his defense, pulverizing the right side of his chest.
In the massive impact, both were blown backward.
Tsunade tore Aoba's arm off, and her left hand also exploded into a cloud of blood mist due to the recoil.
With two loud bangs!
Both created a large crater in the ground upon landing.
The noise startled the guy, and others engaged with the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist"!
After seeing the two 'bodies' lying on the ground, they broke into a cold sweat.
This was too brutal!
Such injuries would not be survivable even with ten lives!
They couldn't understand why Lady Tsunade would choose to perish together with the opponent.
It wasn't worth it!
However, just as they stepped forward to check on Tsunade's condition, they discovered that Tsunade, lying on the ground, merely coughed twice before standing up. The fatal wound that almost split her in half had vanished, and her left hand, which had exploded into a mist of blood, had completely healed.
Guy and the others were genuinely astounded by this sight!
So this is the true power of the legendary Lady Tsunade?!
Such monstrous strength, along with an undying nature, able to recover from any injury instantly—Is she still human?!
Monster!
In an instant, Guy and the others exchanged glances and reached a consensus.
Indeed, as the saying goes, "A person's reputation precedes them, like the shadow of a tree." The Three Sannins of Konoha are indeed as terrifying as rumored!
"Thank goodness Lady Tsunade is on our side. If she were an enemy, I can't even begin to think how we could defeat her," Asuma said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The others nodded in agreement, clearly concurring with his view.
They were also proud of Tsunade!
Just then, Kakashi suddenly spoke up, "Don't celebrate too soon. There's another monster over there..."
The group was initially taken aback, then quickly turned their heads to look in the other direction, only to widen their eyes in shock. The monster with such terrifying self-healing abilities was not the only one!
Yasuo, whose right chest had just been pulverized by Lady Tsunade, now appeared completely unharmed, showing no signs of injury, and even the arm that Lady Tsunade had torn off had regrown anew!
What is happening to this world on earth?
Why are there so many monsters?
In fact, not only them but even Tsunade, who had kept her eyes closed until her wounds healed, was taken aback; then, with a grave expression, she spoke from twenty to thirty meters, "Self-regenerating abilities? Who exactly are you?"
Aoba, who had instantly healed all his injuries using the "Ultra-Fast Regenerative Body," stretched his limbs before walking towards Tsunade again, chuckling lightly, and said:
"My name is Yasuo, the current ceremonial executor of the Blood Moon Sect."
Tsunade's brows furrowed slightly, as this was not the answer she wanted to hear, as she now somewhat suspected that he might also be from the Senju clan.
Or was it merely a coincidence?
What puzzled her even more was why he had never drawn his sword the entire time.
"Why do you not draw your sword? Is it just for show?"
At this point, they were only five meters apart...
Then, under Tsunade's puzzled gaze, the man burst into laughter!
