I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 509 Nara Lan Gui VS Sage Tsunade!

At that moment, Tsunade's fist was only 0.03 centimeters away from Nara Ranka's head.

In Nara Rinka's eyes, the reflection of that pale fist was magnified to the extreme.

It was in that very instant.

Without any warning, Nara Ranka's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Tsunade's iron fist only struck the afterimage left on the ground, failing to produce any offensive effect.

【Flying Thunder God Technique: Shadow Blade】!

Nara Rinka appeared in another part of Shikkotsu Forest, and the Flying Thunder God mark left behind when he last came to the holy land "saved" his life at this moment.

"Even if you want to spar, you should at least give me some rest time, right?"

Nara Rinka watched Tsunade-hime calmly on the other side.

"He struck as soon as he said he would, and I almost didn't have time to react."

"Stop with the sweet talk, Nara!"

Tsunade stomped her feet heavily on the ground, approaching Nara's new position with unprecedented speed.

Although [Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju] is different from the [Sage Mode] of the three great holy lands.

However, the basic amplification of the human body by Sage Chakra is still very comprehensive.

Strength, speed, perception, chakra...

Tsunade had never felt such a wonderful and powerful sensation.

Back then, she sparred with Nara Ranke at the Valley of the End, only to be repeatedly and thoroughly defeated by him in various ways.

Now, with the power of Sage Mode activated, Tsunade has a strange feeling that she can get her revenge today!

"I'm very strong now!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, Tsunade was close to Nara Rinka, raising her fist as a dense green chakra instantly enveloped her small, white fist.

Tsunade was very familiar with Nara Rinka's fighting style.

She was also well aware that although her great-grandfather's Sage Mode was mainly used to amplify the power of Wood Release, her speed in releasing Wood Release ninjutsu was definitely not as fast as Nara's movement speed.

We still have to rely on our fists!

[Immortal Magic - Superhuman Strength]!

Tsunade's powerful straight punch slammed into Nara Rinka's face.

This time, Nara Rinka did not dodge again.

【Shadow Armor Technique】!

A dark, heavy shadow shield rose from the ground and, at the critical moment, blocked the fists of Nara Rinka and Tsunade.

boom!

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

Tsunade's fist collided with the shadow shield, and a rolling shockwave spread outwards from their location, as if stirring up a gale in the Shikkotsu Forest.

The live slug fairy, who was watching from the sidelines, was somewhat astonished.

No matter how many times I've watched it, Tsunade's fighting style always manages to be so awe-inspiring (for me, it's like a slug).

"Furthermore, with the enhancement of Sage Chakra, Lady Tsunade can unleash even greater power than before!"

At the same time, a new quest notification popped up on Nara Langui's interface.

[S-rank ninja battle mission detected!]

[S-Rank Mission: Sage - Tsunade]

[Mission Objective: Defeat/Kill Tsunade]

[Mission Reward: S-Rank Ninja Scroll]

"Upon entering Sage Mode, Tsunade's overall strength has also risen to the Kage level! Just like Jiraiya!"

Nara Ranka quickly glanced at the mission details on the panel, then put it out of his mind and focused on dealing with Tsunade's attack.

The [Immortal Technique - Super Strength] struck the [Shadow Armor Technique], and after a moment of trembling, cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the seemingly impregnable black shield.

Tsunade's [superhuman strength] was already terrifying, and now it was amplified by Sage Chakra, making her even more powerful.

Despite Nara Rangsuke's "Kai-den" technique being heavily focused on defense, it still nearly couldn't withstand the ferocious attack of the big fat sheep.

When Tsunade saw the cracked shape of the black shield, her eyes lit up. Without hesitation, she raised her right hand and swung it forward heavily once again.

It's still [Immortal Magic - Superhuman Strength]!

Boom—Crack!

The [Kai-Rei] shield, which was already close to its damage-bearing limit, finally succumbed to Tsunade's violent onslaught and shattered completely into the air, turning into tiny specks of light.

Having shattered Nara Rinka's defensive formation, Tsunade's fighting spirit instantly intensified.

Just then, a giant, jet-black hand swung out from the front, like a mosquito swatter, and slapped at Tsunade.

Black Knight!

Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly as she instantly recognized Nara's new ninjutsu.

Even knowing the power of this ninjutsu, Tsunade has no intention of backing down.

Her eyes were fixed on the giant chakra hand that was attacking from the front. She took a step back with her right leg, and after a brief moment of gathering strength, she charged forward again.

Tsunade leaped high into the air, raising her right leg overhead at the same time, before slashing it downwards with force.

[Immortal Technique: Painful Heavenly Kick]!

Powerful Sage Chakra gathered in Tsunade's legs, amplifying the power of this already devastating downward kick—capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks—to its limit.

Rumbling--

Tsunade's "Painful Heaven Kick" struck Nara Rinka's arm with pinpoint accuracy.

The Black Knight, merely maintaining the first stage, simply couldn't withstand this overwhelming force.

Almost the instant Tsunade's leg struck the Black Warrior's arm, the large, black hand, still in skeletal form, snapped in two with a "crack."

The still-powerful [Painful Heaven Kick] continued downwards until it struck the ground of the Wet Bone Forest.

Smoke billowed into the sky.

The ground of the holy site immediately split open, revealing a huge crack more than ten meters long, a sight that was shocking to behold.

Tsunade wanted to press her advantage.

But the chakra arm that she had just kicked off melted into the ground beneath her feet like a solution.

With the help of the thick smoke, the severed chakra arm transformed into countless shadow tentacles, reaching out from all directions to grab Tsunade in the center.

[Shadow Convergence Technique]!

Tsunade's brows furrowed slightly.

Having practiced the Immortal Clan Guiding Technique for some time, her perception was already quite strong.

Now, with the amplification from Sage Chakra, Tsunade could clearly sense the attack trajectory of each shadow tentacle.

Tsunade took a deep breath, activated the Sage Chakra within her body, and continued to lunge forward without hesitation.

At the same time, Tsunade also made full use of her agility and powerful senses, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, shuttling back and forth among the dense shadow tentacles.

Just as she was about to break free from the giant black net formed by the [Shadow Gathering Technique] and arrive at an open space.

Suddenly, several thick, shadowy tentacles sprang out from the previously empty air, rising directly from the ground.

Previously, when Tsunade was dodging the shadow tentacles, she only noticed the tentacles moving in the air, but did not pay attention to the shadows hidden under the ground.

At this moment, she was like a butterfly walking into a trap, voluntarily entering the disguised trap that Nara Rangsei had set up in advance.

Caught off guard, they were "stuck" by the shadow cable.

Tsunade had a bad feeling in her heart.

But before she could unleash her power, the power of the cursed seal hidden in the shadows suddenly erupted.

[Shadow Binding Technique]!

The Yin Release chakra imbued with the power of the cursed seal transformed into irregularly shaped black ribbons that instantly wrapped around Tsunade's body, even causing numerous black lines to appear on her masked face.

Tsunade struggled for a while, and the Sage Chakra within her body was being consumed frantically like water being released from a burst dam.

It's like a warning red light flashing on the chest of an alien, indicating that their energy is depleted.

In less than a few minutes, Tsunade's Sage Chakra was completely depleted, and her aura weakened.

Nara Rinka manipulated the Shadow Binding Technique, pulling Tsunade towards him as if she were being dragged along a rope.

"Tsunade-nee, it seems I've won again this time!"

"Tch~"

[You have defeated the S-rank ninja combat objective!]

You have obtained an S-rank [Ninja Scroll]!

The second update actually went past midnight...

Goodnight everybody.

There will be no third update today.

Let's talk about it after I recover from my cold.
