Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

[Second Generation Lord, I have disgraced you. The glory of the Senju is too heavy a burden for us to bear.]

Faced with this powerful force, Yuta eventually lost consciousness.

Tsunade and Mari rushed over to check on his condition.

Fortunately, Orochi's Raging Waves had broken through seven A and B-rank ninjutsu in a row, and its power had been weakened to an acceptable level.

Although Yuta was seriously injured, his life was not in danger.

Mari carried Yuta on her back and took him to the back. Yoshiyuki, who had gone to find Eiji earlier, also brought Eiji back.

"Don't worry, Tsunade. I'm just here to gain support, not to make enemies. I won't really kill anyone."

Iori raised an eyebrow at their actions and said helplessly.

Tsunade glared at him. Although she knew Iori's purpose, he was, after all, her uncle, so she was still a little upset.

Tsunade looked at the remaining two and said to them, "Alright, you should understand the difference in strength now. You may step back. I will fight him from now on."

"His previous performance only showed that he was qualified to lead us, but what I showed later was one of the benefits he could give us."

"Watch closely, the power he taught me."

Tsunade's words were full of confidence and pride. With Iori's help, she finally mastered that power.

"Yes!" Although there was some resentment in their eyes, they also recognized their weakness and obediently retreated to the rear.

Chapter 82 Uchiha Iori vs. Senju (Tsunade) (The End)

Tsunade stood opposite Iori, and a gust of wind blew by, raising a cloud of dust.

She raised her arm, gently rubbed her wrist, making a slight cracking sound, and then said to Iori:

"We weren't really fighting seriously during the previous training sessions, so this is the first time we've actually clashed, right?"

Iori looked at her and replied gently, "Yes, we haven't fought with all our might since we met."

"Well then, take a look at my progress over this period of time."

Tsunade's voice revealed a sense of confidence. The martial arts that Iori taught her had opened a new door for her, allowing her strength to leap forward.

"Summoning: Slug." Tsunade bit her finger, quickly forming hand seals. As she summoned, a slug the size of her arm appeared on the training field.

"I'll leave the protection to you," Tsunade said softly. Katsuyu understood her intention and replied, "Yes, Lady Tsunade."

He then slowly climbed up Tsunade's back, linking his chakra with Tsunade's.

"Next, Yin Seal Release, Ninjutsu: Creation Rebirth: Hundred Healings Technique."

Tsunade's voice was firm and powerful. She removed the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead and activated her proud secret technique—the Hundred Healings Technique.

As the seal was broken, a powerful chakra emanated from her body, and the cursed seal covered her entire body, bringing endless vitality.

Iori watched Tsunade's every move, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

As a descendant of the First Hokage, Tsunade already possessed great potential and talent, and Iori was also very curious about how much progress she had made after obtaining the National Technique.

[Could it be Sage Mode? Based on my estimation, she should have already reached a basic level of harmony with nature. As a descendant of the First Hokage, she should have some aptitude for Sage Mode.]

Iori pondered to herself.

Furthermore, given that she developed ninjutsu like the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique, which are clearly related to Sage Mode, it's quite normal that the Harmony of Heaven and Man technique could help her cross this line.

As the slug shared its natural energy with Tsunade, Tsunade clapped her hands, and instantly, Sage Art: Sage Mode was activated.

Two lines of eyeshadow emerged from Tsunade's face, identical to the markings of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, making their Sage Modes remarkably similar.

Not only that, Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique seal was also affected, turning from purple to dark green.

This change made Iori even more convinced that there was some connection between the Hundred Healings Technique and Sage Mode, and that Tsunade may have developed this ninjutsu after failing to master Sage Mode.

[As expected, there is indeed a connection between them. I remember the Book of Formations from my previous life recorded that Hashirama's Sage Mode possessed an extremely astonishing regenerative ability.]

[I don't believe the Yin Seal, capable of storing chakra, and the Hundred Healings Technique, with its astonishing regenerative abilities, are unrelated to Hashirama's Sage Mode.]

Iori pondered the relationship between them.

Tsunade had made all the necessary preparations and adjusted her state. A serious expression appeared on her face, and she looked at Iori with a determined gaze.

The phase of demonstrating strength is over; now it's time for empty promises. The essence of management lies in wielding both the stick and the carrot.

What better example could there be than Tsunade's own progress?

Tsunade moved, and a large crater was created in the ground by her footsteps.

"Immortal Technique: Painful Heavenly Kick"

Her body shot out like an arrow, kicking towards Iori.

Iori remained calm and composed in the face of Tsunade's attacks.

"Susanoo Susanoo"

Dark chakra surged from Iori's eyes, enveloping his body.

He threw a punch to meet Tsunade's kick, and the moment they collided, a huge sonic boom was produced.

With a "bang!", the two of them each took a step back, and even the air was briefly pushed aside, leaving a white mark.

Iori looked at Tsunade and said with some admiration:

"That's truly impressive. You've actually incorporated the techniques of Bajiquan into your own moves. Senior Li will be very pleased to see your progress. You've begun to forge your own path."

"Hmph, I can't compare to you. The technique you used to defeat Uncle Yingyi must have been Teacher Li's 'Fierce Fist - Unparalleled Strike,' right? What an enviable talent!"

Tsunade's expression was somewhat complicated; she was both proud of him and jealous of him, happy for him and frustrated with herself.

"Cultivation is a personal matter, not something that can be accomplished overnight. Don't lose yourself because of the progress of others; strive to surpass yourself, not others."

Iori's face turned serious as she earnestly reminded him.

"I was just venting. Now I'm going to use my special Sage Art!" Tsunade took a deep breath and composed herself.

"Immortal Technique: Fierce Tiger Climbs the Mountain!" she shouted.

Behind Tsunade, a fierce tiger made of Sage Chakra appeared. Its mouth opened wide, and countless fist shadows flew out like a meteor shower, covering the sky and the earth with overwhelming momentum.

Originally a close-combat combo, Tiger Climbing the Mountain transformed into a series of Sage Chakra Barrages after Tsunade used Sage Mode, with each punch imbued with Tsunade's will.

Facing the incoming Sage Chakra fist, Iori thought for a moment, and countless golden ripples appeared behind him, from which weapons emerged and shot towards the incoming fist.

The A-rank Noble Phantasm and the Sage Chakra Fist collided in mid-air, creating a violent tremor.

Iori looked at Tsunade with some curiosity and said, "Your Sage Mode is quite strong, isn't it? You were able to block an A-rank Noble Phantasm."

"As an enemy, your composure is truly annoying."

Tsunade struggled to maintain the operation of her Sage Mode; beads of sweat had formed on her forehead, and her breathing had become somewhat rapid.

[Damn it, the energy expenditure is too great. This can't go on. Let's finish this battle with one last move.]

Tsunade was secretly anxious; the enormous consumption of chakra made her know that if things continued like this, she would definitely lose.

She withdrew her Sage Chakra, and the tiger's shell shrank and concentrated in her right fist.

"Immortal Technique: Tiger Blaze Fist"

Tsunade herself resembled a tiger pouncing forward, her Sage Chakra surrounding her body and forming the shape of a tiger. Her body transformed into a bolt of lightning as she charged towards Iori.

[Tsk, this is tricky. I can't withstand the release of her Noble Phantasm if she's weak, and I'm afraid I'll kill her if she's strong. I have no choice but to use Sage Art: Susanoo.]

Iori's expression was somewhat helpless. Tsunade in her Sage Mode form was among the strongest in the Kage, not much inferior to the Sage Jiraiya.

"Sage Art: Susanoo - Unparalleled"

Iori stepped into the circle and directly injected natural energy into Susanoo. Mixing chakra inside, and with the support of Sage Mode, wings grew from the back of Iori's Susanoo.

With a flap of its wings, Iori flew out and collided with the magical tiger.

After a loud bang, a huge hole appeared in the ground, and dust filled the air, obscuring the view of the group.

As the dust settled, a figure slowly emerged from it.

A gust of wind blew by, revealing Iori's body, who was holding the unconscious Tsunade in his arms.

A slight smile appeared on Iori's face as he looked at the remaining people and said, "It's over."

Chapter 83 The Senju Clan's Loyalty and the Senju Clan's Past Nearly Vanished (A Long Chapter of 4,000 Words)

After the dust settled from the battle, Iori gently put Tsunade down, his expression shifting from seriousness during the fight to gentleness.

He took out his treasure, "Perfect Repair," and prepared to begin treating the injured.

Mari witnessed Iori unleashing her Noble Phantasm for the first time, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

As a top-tier medical ninja, she was filled with a strong urge to research this completely different medical technology.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Iori smiled gently at her and said, "My goal is also to popularize this power. You will have the opportunity to study it later, so don't rush."

Truth was overjoyed upon hearing this, but then suppressed his excitement and waited for the treatment to end.

As the treatment progressed, the staff emitted a warm light, slowly enveloping the injured ninjas.

This light, like the spring sunshine, is warm and full of life, constantly healing their wounds.

Gradually, Tsunade and the other ninjas regained consciousness under the healing power of the Noble Phantasm.

As the golden light of the Noble Phantasm gradually permeated every corner of their bodies, the ninjas besides Tsunade felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.

They not only healed the injuries they sustained in the battle, but also repaired any hidden wounds that they had never noticed before, thanks to Iori's Noble Phantasm.

Tsunade opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on Iori, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness.

"You rely on your unparalleled healing abilities, and you really don't hold back when you fight."

Although her words carried a hint of complaint, her eyes revealed her amazement at the power of the Noble Phantasm. No matter how many times she saw it, she still marveled at its might.

A thought even flashed through Tsunade's mind: "Perhaps he has the ability to revive even someone who has just died."

Iori simply smiled at Tsunade's "complaint," accepting it as a special compliment.

As the ultimate technique of the Qi-swallowing method, the "No Second Strike" attack directly impacts the opponent's nerves, causing the enemy's heart to stop due to the vagus nerve reflex.

This is an extremely dangerous and difficult-to-treat injury. Even someone as skilled in medical ninjutsu as Tsunade did not have absolute confidence in treating nerve damage before mastering Sage Mode.
