Chapter 25: Kuchiyose no Jutsu!

"Why am I doing this?" with a tired look, Shizune glanced at the couple on the battlefield.

Both had a fiery aura about them.

"You better start packing, brat. I'll kick you out of the village even if I have to use force!"

"Nooo, you better get ready to change clans, Big Sister Tsunade, because after this, you'll be called Tsunade Uchiha!"

"Try it if you have the guts!"

"Challenge accepted!"

Shizune just shook her head at this.

"Are you ready?" Shizune raised her hand, observing as the referee.

"More than ready, those breasts are calling me!"

"Prepare yourself for some broken bones, brat!"

The tension grew with each verbal exchange; Shizune sighed at the antics.

"Begin!"

Both rushed as Shizune signaled the start of the battle.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

Tsunade threw a punch, and Yuki responded in kind.

*Bam

Both fists collided, creating intense pressure.

"Kya?!" Shizune was surprised by this exchange. Neither of them budged an inch.

"Not bad! You're learning fast!" Tsunade praised Yuki with a fierce smile.

"It would be a waste not to learn, especially with a beautiful big sister like you, Tsu-na-de."

Emphasizing her name, Yuki returned the smile, a vein pulsating on Tsunade's forehead.

"Don't underestimate me, brat! Even if you match my strength, you don't have my endurance!"

Breaking the initial clash, they both unleashed kicks.

*Bam

Again, the kicks collided, creating strong winds.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

*Bam, bam, bam

Exchanging blows, their fists clashed, and strong gusts of wind made Shizune briefly close her eyes.

(Are they evenly matched?)

*Bam, bam, bam

It was the same Taijutsu; wherever Tsunade struck, Yuki retaliated in the same spot—they were synchronized.

*Bam, bam

Several sequences of blows were exchanged. Tsunade gained the upper hand, but Yuki struck back with his fists.

They were evenly matched in strength and speed; neither could gain an advantage.

*Bam

A small crater formed when Tsunade hit the ground.

Yuki quickly jumped back, maintaining distance. Although they seemed evenly matched, there was a difference.

(She increased her strength!)

As Tsunade had said, she was boosting her strength with each strike.

(I can't keep up!)

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to take me as your girlfriend? Giving up already, brat?" Tsunade taunted Yuki, surprised at how quickly he had learned the 'Strength of a Hundred' and Fuinjutsu.

Tsunade had to admit Yuki was a battle genius, absorbing all her knowledge like a sponge.

"Fine! You asked for it, Big Sister. Don't worry; I'll make sure to fondle those breasts every day."

With a thought, his right eye changed, turning crimson.

(Here it comes... the Sharingan)

Tsunade also got serious; she knew the brat was capable.

(If I can't match Taijutsu... Let's try Ninjutsu)

"Hyoton: Kōri no sutairu." With a swift hand sequence, Yuki struck the ground, causing it to change, and multiple ice plates emerged.

"Hum! Your little crystals are nothing against strength."

Smashing the ground, Tsunade easily destroyed the Ninjutsu. However, Yuki smiled at this.

Jumping, he quickly prepared his next jutsu.

"Hyoton: Aisusupaiku." Dozens of ice spikes materialized, falling rapidly toward Tsunade.

With no chance to dodge, several ice spikes pierced Tsunade's body—or so it seemed.

*Poof

(Substitution!)

Tsunade's body was replaced by a wooden log.

"Ha."

Falling from the sky, Yuki received Tsunade's punch; his body crashed into the ground, breaking the earth on impact.

*Bam

"Eh? Is that all? How boring, and here I thought I'd end up with a boyfriend."

With a smile, Tsunade approached Yuki; she knew this blow would at least render the brat unconscious.

"Eh?"

However, she quickly noticed an anomaly—her arm was frozen. Glancing at Yuki, she opened her eyes wide.

(Ice Clone!)

*Splat

Two arms emerged from the ground, grabbing Tsunade's legs.

"Raiton: Denki Kiji."

Powerful electricity surged through Tsunade's body.

"Kya!" This jutsu was potent for the human body, using blood directly as a conductor, destroying tissues and muscles in the process. Yuki knew the human body was an excellent electricity conductor.

This jutsu was the perfect counter for a Taijutsu user, a nemesis for those relying on brute force.

(It hurts like hell!)

"Don't underestimate me!"

With a strong stomp, Tsunade freed herself; the earth around her cracked, crushing Yuki into the ground.

"Eh? Another clone!"

Tsunade's leg froze as she struck Yuki's clone.

"As expected of Big Sister Tsunade, that wasn't enough to stop you, but... we're just getting started!" With a rapid hand sequence, Yuki unleashed another jutsu.

"Hyoton: Kōri no raion." Rising from the ground, a massive ice lion materialized, measuring 3 meters in height and 7 meters in length.

*Roar

With a mane and fangs, it resembled a lion but had a metallic exoskeleton, creating a protective layer.

With a mental command, the lion charged at Tsunade.

"I told you! Your little crystals are useless against strength."

Amplifying her fist with chakra, Tsunade struck the lion, a mocking smile on her face, expecting to shatter the fragile ice.

"Eh?" Her smile quickly froze; the lion didn't break as she anticipated. Instead, it absorbed her blow and bared its teeth.

Quickly leaping away, Tsunade looked at Yuki, who grinned at her.

"Didn't think I'd waste my chakra on a useless jutsu, did you?"

"You brat...!"

The lion continued to harass Tsunade; every time she struck, it retaliated with more force. The lion's speed was high, and Tsunade couldn't get rid of it.

Seeing Yuki's mocking smile, Tsunade clenched her fists, deciding she needed to teach him a lesson.

(Let's see how much longer you can keep smiling!)

Biting her thumb, Tsunade performed a hand sequence, jumped back, and placed her hand on the ground; several black lines extended.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

*Poof

A large amount of smoke spread; Yuki's smile froze. He looked up and couldn't help but curse at the unfairness of Tsunade's move.
