Araki vs Tsunade

Both continued to gauge each other before Tsunade rushed at Araki. She was rather nimble, and her speed was also alright.

Araki made no move to stop her advance even though he had multiple moves in his arsenal. He continued to gaze at her indifferently, hiding a burning rage.

Just as Tsunade was one meter away from Araki, she pulled back her fist and then moved her punch to strike Araki.

Araki was so sensitive to the chakra that he could sense how much strength she was using in her fists. This was probably her fearful Chakra Enhanced Strength.

Just when Tsunade was about to punch him, he merely side-stepped while keeping his hands in his pockets.

Tsunade was surprised to see him dodge at the last moment and couldn't stop her momentum at which she rushed at him.

Araki stared at her body which was going past him. His leg suddenly moved and kicks Tsunade's gut strongly.

He didn't hold back while kicking Tsunade's gut, and she was thrown directly into the sky.

Tsunade did feel enough pain for her to throw out some saliva, but she was stunned that Araki held enough strength to send her flying into the sky.

However, she regained her calm soon enough. Although Araki had kicked her gut quite strongly, she used some technique to calm down the pain in her stomach. Although it wasn't healed, at least it wouldn't affect her capabilities right now.

Thinking that she could make use of this height, she changed her body posture and spoke, "Heavenly Spear Kick!"

The downward force was just accelerating her momentum. Just as she was about to land her kick on Araki, once again, he side-stepped.

This time, Tsunade landed on the ground, creating a massive crater over there.

The shockwave was felt by Araki as well as he started wobbling a little. Tsunade noticed it and immediately moved her body to strike him this time.

Araki raised one hand and shouted, "Water Release: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

A Water Dragon was created between Araki and Tsunade. It charged at Tsunade wasting no time.

Tsunade slowed down and prepared to punch the Water Dragon, which was going to strike her from the sky.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a strong punch on her gut once again. She lowered her head and noticed Araki standing there with an emotionless look as he punched her.

Just after Araki punched her, the Water Dragon also charged at Tsunade. It struck both Araki and Tsunade. Tsunade felt as if a strongly pressured water was thrown on her body…

However, she still endured it. She tried to open her eyes and look at Araki's condition, and her eyes widened when in place of Araki was Wood.

She understood what happened. Either Araki had substituted himself with a Wood Clone, or this Wood Clone was the one who punched her just now.

Just as the Water Dragon Jutsu was done, she turned her head to her left and noticed a slight movement.

Feeling quite confident in her observation, she immediately jumped over there while enhancing her legs with chakra.

Araki showed off a stunned expression when he saw her appearing over here so quickly. Tsunade felt proud of her observation and was about to strike him when she felt someone touching her back before hearing, "Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu!"

Tsunade was suddenly trapped in a sphere of water. She felt that the pressure on her body was quite significant while she was inside this water sphere. It restricted her movements a lot.

The Araki in front of her turned into Wood. Tsunade tried to move her head to her right side and noticed that Araki was there with his arm submerged in this Water Sphere.

"You can admit your defeat now, elder cousin." He said in an icy voice.

Tsunade shook her head internally. The seal on her forehead expanded, black lines appeared on her face. This was Tsunade's Mitotic Regeneration: The Hundred Healings Jutsu.

With this, she somehow managed to shrug off the pressure of the Water Prison Jutsu. Araki was honestly surprised to see her shrugging off that pressure.

He immediately dispersed the Water Prison Jutsu and backed away.

Tsunade pursued him immediately as she jumped at him with her full speed. This time, it felt like her speed had doubled.

He landed on the ground and waited for Tsunade to arrive.

Taking a deep breath, he let the Wind Chakra condense around his body.

Tsunade could feel intense pressure from Wind Chakra, but she could still move without any problems. When it felt like she was about to strike Araki now, Araki dodged her. No…he didn't dodge, but it felt like Tsunade had slipped a little.

This was a Jutsu of Araki's own creation. He named it, Wind Release: Wind Armour Defensive Mode Jutsu, and this was the first version of this Jutsu. For now, he felt like he didn't need to use the other version.

Araki took advantage of that moment and dispersed the Wind Chakra around him before swiftly kicking her away.

Tsunade was kicked to quite some distance. However, this still wasn't enough to bring her down. She stood up and was about to charge at Araki when Araki suddenly joined his hands before saying, "Wood Release: Wood Prison Jutsu!"

This was also a Jutsu of his own creation. Though with his level of control over Wood, he didn't need to spend that much time to create it.

Half of Tsunade's body was trapped in a dense Wooden Box which restrained her movements completely. Other than turning her head, she couldn't do anything. She tried to use her immense strength to get out of this Wood Prison, but it turned out to be impossible.

It was because she couldn't move her arms and legs at all. With no way to even minutely move them, she wasn't able to apply any pressure and break apart this wood prison.

Araki started nearing her with an icy expression.

"Cousin, you didn't return to Konoha on grandma's death. Not even after her death to actually pay a visit to her grave. However, you returned to Konoha because of that Monkey. You really have some nerve entering the Senju Clan Manor and demanding me to hand it over to you. Someone who hadn't even been here all this time!" His voice was getting colder, the more he spoke.

Just as Tsunade was about to speak something, he raised his hand and slapped her face hard!

The sound of the slap seemed to resound in the entire field. Kushina grimaced when she heard that loud slap which struck Tsunade's cheek. He really didn't hold back on his strength.

Even Tsunade was dumbfounded. All her life, there had never been one incident where she had been slapped by someone. Yet, here she was, being slapped by her younger cousin.

However, that was far from what could satisfy Araki.

Before she could speak anything, Araki raised that hand once again and slapped her face. This one also resounded in the entire field.

"I have long since wanted to slap you to oblivion. I have heard of this seal of yours, it heals all the damage on your body? But still, if I slap you, you will experience pain. I want to let you feel that pain!" After having said that, he slapped her face again and again.

With each slap, Tsunade's cheeks would turn red before they were healed by her Hundred Healings Jutsu.

He slapped her nearly 20-25 times before Kushina arrived and placed a hand over his shoulder, mumbling softly, "This is enough now."

Araki stopped at that moment. Tsunade was feeling the shame of her life. Firstly, she never expected to lose against her younger cousin. However, this was still fine. He had inherited her grandfather's bloodline, and she hadn't even fought in these recent years, so her senses had dulled a lot. But for him to slap her so many times, she never expected it!
