Chapter 75 » Shameless Scoundrel! Tsunade: Let’s Have a Fist to Fist Fight!
On the battle front at the border of the Land of Fire, inside a camp tent, Shizune watched Tsunade with slightly reddened eyes as she performed her healing technique with Katsuyu's aid.
"No time for that!" Tsunade gritted her teeth, her body already drenched in sweat.
This month-long war had left her with barely any proper sleep. She had to continuously gather chakra and use her healing techniques to treat the ninja on the battlefield.
Without her efforts, the casualties on Konoha's side would be even more horrific. Even so, the number of lives lost on their side was still not small.
"Lady Tsunade, you can't keep pushing yourself like this. If this continues... your body won't be able to take it." Shizune's voice was thick with worry.
"Shizune! If you have time for this, go check if there are any more wounded outside who need treatment." Tsunade waved her hand, cutting off her apprentice. She was in no mood to rest.
Due to her hemophobia, she could no longer be effective on the front lines. So she had to put even more effort into medical treatment! If she could save one person, that was one person less to die!
Tsunade clenched her teeth, continuing to channel the Katsuyu's healing and cure with her Medical Ninjutsu.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Shizune reluctantly left the camp.
Her heart filled with pity as she gazed at the wounded Konoha ninja around her. Without hesitation, she joined the medical treatment efforts.
Their camp was stationed behind the front lines, about thirty kilometers from the battlefield. This open forest provided relative safety.
Suddenly, on a brown rock at the camp's edge, a faint spatial vortex appeared.
Kamui — Space–Time Migration!
Yusuke's form materialized on the rock.
He had acquired the ability to phase using Kamui after fusing with Kakashi's Kamui Mangekyou.
This method of travel suited him well. Though not as swift as the Flying Thunder God technique, it consumed less chakra.
"Quite a crowd here..." Yusuke mused, closing his eyes to sense his surroundings.
The camp housed at least a hundred ninja, with several hundred wounded Konoha shinobi from the front lines. Those who could be saved were transported here for Tsunade's treatment.
"Tsunade..." He smiled, unable to deny his eagerness to see her.
Having Tsunade as Konoha's master healer was truly remarkable. The ninja under her care were guaranteed not only chakra recovery but also protection from death's door.
"Who goes there?"
Yusuke approached the entrance of Konoha's medical camp. Two jōnin at the gate instantly tensed, though they spotted no visible weapons on him. They promptly challenged the newcomer.
"Yusuke Kamizuki, at your service." He introduced himself with a slight smile, offering a casual two-finger salute.
In the face of their terror-stricken eyes, he swiftly encased them in ice.
As frigid air seeped into the camp, the ninja inside finally sensed the looming danger.
"It's... it's... Yusuke Kamizuki! He's here!"
"The God of Death! Run for your lives!"
"Flee!"
Upon spotting him, the Konoha ninja on stretchers erupted into panicked shouts.
Yusuke's infamous battlefield reputation preceded him. Since the war's onset a month ago, Konoha's forces had dreaded his potential appearance.
Now, their worst fears had materialized — the Ice God had arrived.
Worse still, he'd targeted Konoha's medical rear guard, aiming to sever their frontline support.
"Yusuke Kamizuki!"
Suddenly, a short-haired woman blocked his path. Her eyes blazed with fury, and Yusuke could feel the rage emanating from her.
He recognized the black-haired woman before him instantly.
"Shizune." He said with a smile, bowing slightly like a gentleman, "It's truly a pleasure to meet you. And since you're here, Lady Tsunade must be nearby as well."
He knew this because the two women were practically inseparable.
"You demon!" Shizune snarled, her teeth clenched as she glared at him.
She had witnessed the terror he instilled in the Konoha ninja. Now, face-to-face with the enemy, she couldn't contain her anger.
As she contemplated her first move, Yusuke's figure suddenly vanished!
"Ah!" Shizune cried out in pain as a sharp jolt to her wrist caused her to drop her kunai. To her horror, she found herself face-to-face with the demon himself!
He was so close she could feel his icy breath. In the blink of an eye, she had become powerless!
Yusuke gripped her face, forcing her to look into his blue eyes. His tone dripped with mockery.
"Right, because I was the one who started this war, wasn't I?" He shook his head, then turned his gaze to the nearby tent, "And you came out to stop me just to shield Lady Tsunade's tent, didn't you?"
Shizune's brows furrowed as she desperately sought a way to escape and warn her master. Had she not been immobilized, she would have fought him to the death without hesitation.
Without another word, Yusuke pushed her away, as if he had merely been toying with her all along.
"Shizune! That's enough! You're no match for him!"
Just as she was about to make another move, Tsunade suddenly lifted the tent flap!
With anger etched on her face, she strode purposefully towards Yusuke.
As she approached, he couldn't help but admire her.
Tsunade, bearing the Strength of a Hundred Seal, was truly a sight to behold. Her figure and appearance remained at their peak, a testament to her prowess.
Light blonde hair cascaded down her back in a ponytail. The signature purple diamond of the Strength of a Hundred Seal adorned her forehead. Bright brown eyes sparkled against her fair skin.
She embodied the quintessence of a mature woman — Tsunade, the future Fifth Hokage of Konoha, displayed these qualities to perfection!
Now, she stood gracefully before Yusuke, her phoenix-like eyes boring into him.
"Yusuke Kamizuki!" Tsunade exclaimed, shielding Shizune behind her.
She had anticipated this day. After all, targeting the enemy's medical supply was a common battlefield tactic.
"Lady Tsunade." Yusuke responded with a smile, bowing as he had done with Shizune.
Gazing at her again, he made no attempt to hide his feelings. A primal desire to possess her, to make her his, surged within him. Damn, who wouldn't covet the world's most beautiful woman?
Tsunade caught the look in his eyes — a deep-seated hunger in those blue depths. She felt as if he might devour her at any moment. One glance was enough to know that within Yusuke lurked a raging beast!
If this beast were to awaken, the consequences would be catastrophic!
For now, Tsunade could only try to keep him in check. Meanwhile, she had discreetly sent a message to Jiraiya and Orochimaru through her slug.
Perhaps only if the three of them worked together would they have a chance to contend with him!
"Yusuke Kamizuki! What do you want?"
The slug at Tsunade's waist wriggled slightly. It relayed the message from Jiraiya and Orochimaru back to her. If the two of them rushed here at their fastest speed, it would still take at least an hour!
She had to do everything possible to stall for an hour!
"What do I want?" Yusuke stared at her, his smile almost bewitching, "How can I answer that, if I have many things on my list? I want victory in this war, I want you, I want her, I want power, I want the world! Is that enough for you, or do you want me to go into details?"
This answer left Tsunade stunned. She had never seen a man so brazenly express his ambitions.
Shizune, standing behind her, was so shocked by his words and the look he gave her that her face turned slightly red. Could this man really be so ambitious?
"Let me break it down for you." He said, his face still adorned with a gentle smile, "Tsunade, your strength and beauty are unparalleled. I'd be a fool not to recognize your exceptional qualities. As for Shizune, her skills and loyalty are equally impressive. And just so you know, for any woman who impresses me like this, my methods of dealing with you will be relatively gentle."
Upon hearing his words, Tsunade's eyebrows immediately furrowed in anger!
"You dare to be so certain you can take us down?" She glared at him.
She had never seen such an arrogant man! He actually looked as if he had them completely figured out. Or perhaps he simply didn't know her true strength?
"It's child's play!"
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, a smile once again appeared on his face.
His goal was to provoke Tsunade. Otherwise, if she just went along with everything he said, how would he extract Villain Points from her?
"How about it, Princess Tsunade? Why don't you become my servant?" Yusuke continued to smile, his tone dripping with provocation.
Sometimes, the art of provocation lies in one's words.
"You shameless scoundrel!!!" Tsunade exclaimed, her face flushed with anger.
[ Ding! Tsunade, upon hearing your words, was so enraged her chest heaved! Congratulations, host has gained 2,000 Villain Points ]
Yusuke raised an eyebrow slightly. Not bad. Although it was only 2,000 points, this method of acquisition required no effort on his part. He just needed to use his mouth.
A few words, and he could gain Villain Points through casual conversation. Why wouldn't he take advantage of that?
At this moment, Tsunade finally lost her composure. She had heard about Yusuke's shameless behavior before. After all, in the village, both the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina Uzumaki and the fiancée of the Uchiha clan leader had been abducted by him.
Moreover, she feared those two must not have had an easy time during their captivity.
But now, facing him in person, she finally realized the true extent of his shamelessness. He was simply an ultra-shameless scoundrel!
"Tsk! Me? A shameless scoundrel? Perhaps you're right." Yusuke said, eyeing Tsunade, whose anger seemed ready to explode into violence, "But what can I do? I enjoy living this way. And I quite like seeing you so irritated right now."
This was the real Tsunade, her most authentic self.
"You!" She glared furiously. A flash of anger passed through her eyes, "Do you dare to fight me? Fist-to-fist!"
She had been thinking about how to stall for time. Originally, she'd planned to use words to delay for an hour. But she'd already discovered she simply couldn't out-talk Yusuke. His mouth was too powerful — even more so than her own. Tsunade considered herself quite eloquent, but compared to him, it was like a novice facing a master.
He could infuriate her to death in just three sentences!
In comparison, Tsunade preferred to let her fists do the talking.
"A fight? Fist to fist?" Yusuke looked at her with interest.
Although he had already faced off against Tsunade in the simulator, that was just a simulation. In reality, this was his first time meeting her face to face.
"Come on. I'll play with you." He had long known her true intention.
She knew that if she fled, she might possibly escape from his clutches. But the ninja in this medical camp would definitely die! So, she was stalling for time.
Yusuke knew that Tsunade could communicate through her slugs. Right now, on the battlefield, there were only two people Tsunade could notify: Orochimaru and Jiraiya. Did she want the three Sannin together to defeat him? He also wanted to see if the legendary Konoha Sannin, teamed up, could stand a chance against him.
But for now, he planned to fleece Tsunade a bit first.
After all, Tsunade was known as the legendary sucker. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, wouldn't that be failing to live up to her reputation?
Seeing that Yusuke had agreed to her request, Tsunade immediately clenched her fist.
"Good! Let's fight over there! This place is too cramped." Tsunade said quickly. If they fought inside the camp, the shockwaves alone might kill the ninja here!
"Alright." Yusuke nodded.
Soon, the two of them arrived at an open grassy area next to the camp.
Tsunade let out a slow breath. Then she raised her eyes. "Come on! Fist to fist! Let me see your strength!"
If Yusuke were to use some other strange ability, she might not dare to face it.
But if he really wanted to exchange punches with her? Then she was confident! Her fists would definitely teach him an unforgettable lesson!
Herculean Strength!
The next second, Tsunade began her attack! The first strike had to be fast, precise, and fierce! The goal was to catch him off guard!
Tsunade focused the chakra in her hand. This punch — she had absolute confidence in it! As long as she could hit him, she would definitely blow him away!
Yusuke watched her gathering all her strength for the punch. Then, he just stood there quietly. He wanted to see what kind of damage her full-power punch could do to him.
After all, this body of his seemed to have never suffered any injuries. Moreover, he also wanted to test his newly researched function.
'This guy really let his guard down because I'm a woman...' Tsunade thought as she closed in on him.
At this distance, she was confident that no matter who the opponent was, they couldn't escape now!
"Ahhh!!!" She let out a loud roar!
A punch charged to its peak smashed fiercely into Yusuke's chest!
Even though this punch had a ninety-nine percent chance of blowing his body apart, then splattering blood everywhere — which would trigger her hemophobia...
But as long as she could kill this arrogant and extremely shameless guy in front of her, it would be enough!
BANG!!
An explosive punch smashed fiercely into Yusuke's chest! The intense collision sound was deafening!
Tsunade was confident! There was no way he could remain unscathed under her punch!
However... Why did she feel like she had hit a steel plate?
Tsunade frowned, and just as she felt something was off, Yusuke's voice suddenly sounded next to her ear!
"Princess Tsunade, I must say, your punch does have some weight to it. It even made me feel a bit excited about this fight. That being the case..."
He raised his hand throwing a punch!
His target was clearly the still-stunned Tsunade in front of him!
