The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 409 Superhuman Strength! (Seeking monthly votes)
It was just a simple question, but Tsunade's muscles suddenly tensed up.

This is the instinctive bodily reaction of mammals when they encounter a life-threatening situation!

All of this was simply because Mu Sheng locked onto Tsunade with his aura while looking at her.

Since the completion of the Chakra True Body Internal Organs Chapter, Mu Sheng's life form has transformed from a carbon-based life form into a semi-energy life form.

The skin, flesh, bones, and even every cell in the body are gradually replaced by tissues formed from chakra energy.

When the two people's energy connected, this sense of pressure based on their life level was fully revealed to Tsunade.

'What terrifying aura!'

The shock in Tsunade's heart far exceeded the physical shock. This oppressive feeling that made every cell in her body tremble was something she had never experienced even with her grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

Is this person even more powerful than Hashirama?

how can that be!

Tsunade certainly knew Maki, even though they had never met. His legend had already spread to every corner of the ninja world.

Because she had already left Konoha, Tsunade was unaware of Maki's strength and only thought he was a Kage-level powerhouse on par with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's strength had reached the level of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, or even higher.

Tsunade was still struggling to stay upright under the pressure of the aura, while Maki continued his accusations:

My son was born with an eye disease.

As Mu Sheng spoke, he grabbed Shinbara Shinku, pried open his swollen eyelids, and revealed the dark gray eyeballs inside.

"This child has suffered a lot since he was a child in order to cure his eye disease!"

"How could anyone be so cruel to such a blind, weak, pitiful, and helpless child!"

What the hell?
Is this kid weak? Pitiful? And helpless?
Jiraiya, standing not far away, stared at Maki Shō in disbelief.

I don't understand how the other party could have the audacity to say such a thing.
How could this unruly and arrogant little devil have anything to do with these words?

Even Tsunade, who was struggling against her body's instinctive fear, almost collapsed to her knees upon hearing this.

This brat ruined her plan to dominate from the start, then accused her of something and attacked her with ninjutsu at the Jonin level.

Tsunade felt she had already shown great mercy.

This brat needs to be taught a lesson!
"This brat is so arrogant and domineering, I'll teach him a lesson!"

"If you're not satisfied, then throw it back!"

Although this person's strength was terrifying, Tsunade's dictionary did not contain the concepts of admitting mistakes or submitting, and she retorted defiantly.

"call back?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng threw Kanbara Shinku aside and walked step by step toward Tsunade amidst the latter's pained cry of "Ouch!"

"Is Lady Tsunade serious?"

With a smile, Mu Sheng raised his right index finger and placed it in front of Tsunade's eyes.

"Where does a patient suffering from hemophobia get the confidence to say such a thing?"

Before he could finish speaking, a cut appeared on the pad of Mu Sheng's index finger, and a drop of bright red blood flowed out instantly.

Tsunade, who was already struggling to hold on under the pressure of Maki's aura, lost all her strength the moment she saw the blood and collapsed to the ground.

That bright red color pulled her memory back to the battlefield many years ago.

The younger brother, Nawaki, was blown to pieces; the lover, Kato Dan, had his internal organs ripped out; and the mountains and fields were covered with rivers of blood and severed limbs.

It instantly shattered Tsunade's already battered spirit.

"no no!"

"The Rope Tree!"

"Break!"

Tsunade's mind had completely shut down; her reason had collapsed, and she was consumed by endless self-blame and regret.

"Tsunade-sama?"

Mu Sheng squatted down and patted Tsunade's cheek, but she didn't react at all. She just stared blankly at the ground, muttering fragmented words to herself.

"This is bad. Is hemophobia this severe?"

Mu Sheng said with some surprise, "Tsunade's current performance seems to be much more serious than in the original story."

He didn't even consider how terrifying his own aura was.

Tsunade was already on the verge of collapse under his oppressive aura, and his provocation triggered her mental illness.

Wouldn't that mean it would be completely broken?
"Tsunade-sama!"

Seeing Tsunade's distraught state, Shizune rushed forward to help.

But after getting a certain distance away, my body stopped uncontrollably.

Just like a sheep that smells the scent of a lion, even without seeing the predator, it will instinctively move away.

Jiraiya, however, managed to get close by relying on his own strength.

"Um, Hokage-sama, Tsunade didn't mean it, it's all my fault, it was me."

Jiraiya hurriedly explained the whole story, trying to clear up the misunderstanding.

"Lord Jiraiya, don't worry. Lady Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage and a princess of the Senju clan."

"The Senju clan made great contributions at the beginning of Konoha's establishment, but I will not do anything to Lady Tsunade for that."

Maki glanced at Jiraiya and said calmly, "I was just examining Lady Tsunade's hemophobia to see if there was any way to treat it!"

"Really? Hahaha, I misunderstood."

Jiraiya gave a forced yet polite smile.

Who believes it!
Judging from the way you were acting just now, anyone who didn't know better would have thought you were going to eat Tsunade!

However, since Mu Sheng had already said so, he couldn't possibly refute it; that would be too tactless.

"I've made some progress on Lady Tsunade's hemophobia. This matter can't be delayed. I need to take her back to Konoha for treatment now."

As he spoke, Mu Sheng put one arm around Tsunade's waist, lifted her up, and prepared to teleport away.

Just before he left, he paused again and looked at his son hiding behind Little Black.

"Zhen Hong, you've been out for so long, haven't you had enough of causing trouble by now!"

"School's about to start, so don't let your mother worry anymore, okay?"

Shinbara Shinku immediately shrank back, nodding repeatedly like a quail, and said, "I understand, I'm going back now."

If it were any other time, Shinbara Shinku would definitely act like a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) and jump around a few times.

Having just been defeated by Tsunade and beaten to a pulp, Shinbara Shinku was utterly humiliated.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng chuckled inwardly, thinking that this brat had finally met his end. Then, with a flash, he teleported back to Konoha with Tsunade.

The instant he disappeared, two emerald green chakra orbs shot straight into Shinbara Shinku and Kokoro.

The bruises and injuries on the person and the cat healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a few breaths, I was fully recovered!
"What powerful medical ninjutsu!"

"Such pure Yang Release chakra!"

Upon seeing this, Shizune let out a gasp.

As Tsunade's close assistant and disciple, Shizune is also quite skilled in medical ninjutsu, and therefore understands the terrifying nature of Maki's medical ninjutsu.

"Oh! Lady Tsunade!"

After sighing, Shizune suddenly realized that Tsunade had been taken away by that person, and hurriedly chased after them in one direction.

"Hey! Not that way, Konoha Village is in another direction!"

Jiraiya quickly shouted, stopping the panicked Shizune, and led her towards Konoha Village.

After the two left, Shinbara Shinku and Little Black leisurely walked towards the center of the city.

In the official residence there, there is a spatial tree that connects to Konoha Village.

Konoha Village, 18th floor of the Hokage Building. Maki appeared in the lounge carrying Tsunade.

After tossing Tsunade, who was still lost in her memories, onto a sofa, Maki began to examine her.

"No response at all?"

Seeing that he had already checked Tsunade inside and out, but she still didn't react at all.

Mu Sheng knew he might have gone too far!

"Cough cough!"

Mu Sheng was also a little embarrassed and coughed a few times to cover up his awkwardness.

He was just trying to make a joke.

Who knew Tsunade was so fragile? It broke before he even got serious.

"What should we do now?" Mu Sheng pondered seriously.

Although her own aura was powerful, it wasn't enough to crush a Kage-level powerhouse, so it was still Tsunade's own fault.

A mental illness requires a mental cure; we need to help her resolve this emotional knot.

"In that case."

"I've decided on you! What a pipe dream!"

Suddenly, a dark color appeared in Mu Sheng's pupils and quickly spread, staining his entire eye black.

As her eye power was depleted, Tsunade's consciousness was pulled into an illusory world.

In this world, her younger brother, Nawaki, was not killed in the explosion, but instead made great contributions in the war and became a powerful ninja.

She did not become lovers with Kato Dan, but instead developed feelings for a boy named Kambara Masaru.

Why do I always feel like I've forgotten something? (Kamihara Masaru)

Tsunade, the girl in the virtual world, felt a strange sense of unease rising in her heart.

"Tsunade? Why are you suddenly spacing out? What are you thinking about?"

A boy named 'Kamihara Masaru' smiled and stepped forward to put his arm around Tsunade's waist, whispering a question into her ear.

Feeling the thick, warm chest behind her, Tsunade's doubts vanished instantly.

She turned around and hugged 'Kamihara Masaru', snuggling affectionately into his arms.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

"There have been quite a few wounded lately, thank you for your hard work."

When will the war end?

"It'll be soon. Let's get married after the war is over, okay?"

"Okay!"

"."

Sure enough, the war ended not long after, and Tsunade, with everyone's blessings, married 'Kamihara Masaru'.

A few years later, Tsunade took over the Hokage hat from her teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi and became the Fourth Hokage.

For the next few decades, the ninja world remained at peace, and no more wars occurred.

Tsunade lived a simple yet happy life in Konoha with her family and friends.

Time flies by.

After an unknown amount of time, Tsunade slowly opened her eyes after a bout of drowsiness.

What came into view was a face she knew best.

"Sheng, how did I fall asleep?"

Upon seeing Maki Katsu squatting beside the sofa, Tsunade naturally put her arms around his neck.

'Huh?'

Mu Sheng was confused by Tsunade's actions. He wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that she was still a patient, so he didn't resist.

'A doctor's heart is full of compassion!'

'As long as the patient can be cured, this sacrifice is nothing!'

Mu Sheng bowed his head in response, his hands moving instinctively.

Uh! Please believe him, Mu Sheng didn't mean to take advantage of him.

This is a law of nature; under such circumstances, human hands will instinctively move.

Tsunade also noticed Maki's mischievous hand, but did not resist.

In her memory, it was just a normal interaction between the two of them, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

After a while of being affectionate, Tsunade pulled Maki into a sparring match.

As a ninja, practical combat training is an essential part of the training.

Tsunade knew Maki was powerful, and after a simple warm-up, she used her unique technique—the Super Strength Fist!
This taijutsu technique, which utilizes precise chakra control to amplify power through chakra bursts, instantly caused Mu Sheng considerable trouble.

With the support of this powerful force, Mu Sheng's attack became increasingly difficult.

"As expected of you, Tsunade!"

Maki acknowledged Tsunade's strength and immediately formed a hand seal with one hand.

"Secret Technique: The Art of Separation and Smoothing!"

The sudden appearance of the slippery solution caught Tsunade off guard, and before she knew it, Maki had gained the upper hand.

However, this alone is not enough to stump Tsunade, who has been through countless battles.

Tsunade keenly sensed Maki's two habitual backswing movements during his attacks, which gave her an opportunity for victory.

While she was desperately parrying Mu Sheng's attacks, she managed to free one hand.

"Secret Technique: The Hundred-Finger Manipulation Technique!"

This is a special taijutsu technique that uses the fingers to attack, gathering chakra at the fingertips to attack the enemy's vulnerable and sensitive meridian nodes.

"Hiss! What a cunning trick!"

Having personally experienced Tsunade's Hundred Fingers Technique, Mu Sheng also understood its power.

When the body's internal energy becomes disordered, the rhythm of the attack also becomes problematic.

"Using dirty tricks? I can do that too!"

Knowing that he was on the verge of defeat, Mu Sheng no longer hesitated and also used a despicable secret technique.

"Secret Technique: Thousand-Year Killing Chain!"

Not only did Tsunade notice Maki's swaying motion, but Maki also discovered Tsunade's weakness.

"hateful!"

Once her weakness was exploited, Tsunade lost the ability to resist and could only surrender unwillingly!
Mu Sheng, the victor, was not arrogant. He also released his strength, and the battle ended there!

"Shall we have another match?" Seeing Tsunade's unconvinced look, Mu Sheng asked tentatively.

"Come!"

She was careless just now; she will never lose again this time!

After five consecutive battles, Tsunade finally succumbed to her injuries and collapsed to the ground to recover her strength.

"Um!?"

After resting for a while, Tsunade suddenly frowned.

A memory buried deep in one's consciousness suddenly surfaced on the surface of the sea.

After sorting through the jumbled memories in her mind, Tsunade finally understood what had happened, and a 'h' sign instantly appeared on her forehead.

"Kanahara. Victory!!!"
