Chapter 104: Tsunade’s... Monstrous Strength!

"Hiss—"

Naruto couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath as he felt the immense force in his hands.

There was no denying it—Tsunade's monstrous strength was terrifying. The sheer pain it caused made him cry out involuntarily.

The last time Naruto felt pain like this was when he'd first tried to punch a tree during training. Since then, he hadn't experienced such agony.

As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade was truly formidable!

While Naruto was marveling at her power, Jiraiya's jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

He had heard from Kakashi that his student's body was unusually resilient, but he never grasped the full extent of it. Until now.

This brat actually endured a direct kick from Tsunade...

It was only at this moment that Jiraiya fully realized just how abnormal Naruto truly was.

What in the world did Minato and Kushina give birth to?

Jiraiya could tell that Tsunade hadn't gone all out with that kick. Even so, had it been him, his arms would have been broken instantly.

If Tsunade had used her full strength, Jiraiya had no doubt she could've killed him with a single blow.

But then he looked at Naruto…

The kid didn't even seem seriously hurt!

Tsunade originally intended to hover her foot over the brat's head as a scare tactic. She never imagined the blond kid would outright raise his arms to block her strike.

Just moments ago, she had worried that one kick might cripple him.

And yet...

Aside from wincing in pain, the brat wasn't showing any real signs of injury.

Her foot, however, was starting to hurt.

Since when did Konoha have a monster like this?

She distinctly remembered using her enhanced strength, right?

Tsunade froze for two seconds before breaking into a curious smile.

"Hey, kid. What's your name?"

"Uzumaki..."

Bam!

Before Naruto could finish introducing himself, Tsunade delivered a sideways kick, sending him flying. His body smashed through four walls before finally coming to a stop.

This time, she added a little more force.

She was curious to see just how much this brat could endure.

Of course, it had nothing to do with him calling her an old hag earlier.

Crash!

From the rubble, Naruto pushed aside the debris covering him, silently cursing Tsunade's entire lineage in his heart.

Damn it!

This old hag didn't fight fair!

She actually blindsided him—a 13-year-old kid!

Naruto was fuming. He hadn't even had the chance to bring up the issue of being framed for the destroyed hot spring.

And yet, this hag not only flicked his forehead upon their first meeting but also immediately landed two heavy blows.

Tsunade's eyes widened slightly when she saw Naruto standing up again. A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

Interesting...

In all her years wandering the ninja world, she had never seen a kid take two of her kicks and still stand.

Uzumaki... Could he be Kushina's child?

The more she thought about it, the more intriguing the idea became.

If this kid really was Kushina's, then he shared some connection to her.

"Oi, Tsunade..."

"Wait a moment. Let's settle this calmly."

Jiraiya's words sounded reasonable, but the grin on his face betrayed his amusement.

After all, it wasn't often he got to see the little blond troublemaker suffer.

Naruto could use a lesson or two. The world outside Konoha wasn't as simple as he imagined.

One must always remain cautious when out in the world...

Tsunade, ignoring Jiraiya's plea, smacked him lightly on the head and began walking toward Naruto.

"Hey, brat."

"If you can withstand 100 of my full-strength moves…"

"I'll agree to return and take the Hokage position."

Jiraiya: …

If you don't want to be Hokage, just say so.

There's no need to make such an impossible demand of the kid.

Jiraiya's thoughts mirrored Tsunade's. She had no intention of losing.

With her strength, defeating an Uzumaki brat should be easy enough.

Even if this particular brat had an unusually tough physique, she hadn't even used her full power yet.

There was no way she'd go back to be Hokage.

"Are you serious?!"

"Alright, then I'm going all out!"

Naruto's excitement was obvious. Ever since Konoha lost its leader, everything had felt off to him.

Now, this challenge from Tsunade was perfect for him!

Not only could he settle the score, but he could also ensure Konoha had a proper Hokage again.

After his shout, Naruto turned to grin at the white-haired old pervert.

"Sensei, watch closely. I'll show you how much I've improved!"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto's confident smile and couldn't help but think of Minato.

It seemed this kid had finally mastered the Rasengan.

Minato... Your legacy is in good hands.

Jiraiya decided that once they returned, he would teach Naruto the Flying Thunder God technique.

"Brat."

"Prepare yourself to die!"

With those words, Tsunade stomped her foot, shattering the ground beneath her. In an instant, she was in front of Naruto, her fist aiming for his stomach in an upward strike.

What the—?!

So fast! Even faster than Sasuke's Lightning Movement!

"Brat..."

"You've lost."

Tsunade smirked, fully expecting her punch to break at least three of his ribs, no matter how resilient he was.

But just as her fist was about to connect, Naruto's reaction was faster.

A colorful wooden door appeared in his hands within 0.01 seconds.

Tsunade hesitated momentarily, debating whether to pull back her strength, but the unexpected sight of the door left her stunned.

Bang!

"Did you just get blocked?"

Naruto gritted his teeth, holding the door firmly as Tsunade's full-strength punch landed.

The collision felt like being hit by a speeding truck. The sound of the impact echoed in his ears like the tolling of a bell, leaving his head buzzing.

Tsunade's monstrous strength was truly terrifying. For the first time, Naruto understood what it meant to feel pain throughout his entire body.

Fortunately, the sensation subsided after three seconds.

Tsunade, however, was visibly frustrated.

One punch hadn't been enough to settle the brat, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

And that ridiculous door...

Who in their right mind used a door as a weapon?

And if you're going to use a door, at least remove the doorknob!

Tsunade's eye twitched at the sight of the glaringly obvious doorknob, not to mention the bold words painted on the door: Is that all?

And the sound...

The mocking tone of it lit a fire in Tsunade's heart.

"Damn brat!"

"You're dead!!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and tossed aside her green gambling coat, charging at Naruto again.

Jiraiya, who had been enjoying the show, suddenly froze.

He recognized this mood all too well. Every time Tsunade had sent him to the hospital, she had looked exactly like this.

"Naruto... May the gods help you."

"Even I can't save you now."

Jiraiya covered his face, unable to bear watching the upcoming disaster.

Still, he wasn't too worried.

Tsunade might leave Naruto half-dead, but with his ridiculous healing ability, he'd probably be fine after a few days in the hospital.

Shizune, standing nearby, also covered her eyes, unable to watch any longer.
