Chapter 560: Slug: Lady Tsunade, I think you won't be able to beat your disciple...
Chapter 560: Slug: Lady Tsunade, I think you won't be able to beat your disciple...
"Crack! Crack!"
After resetting her dislocated arm, Yecheng also stretched her limbs and even cracked her neck with a loud snap.
Then, looking at Tsunade's expression, she revealed a confident smile and said, "With only three-tenths of my chakra left, it's true that relying solely on Wood Style and other ninjutsu would make it difficult to pose a threat to Lady Tsunade.
So, if that's the case, I can only use pure taijutsu to fight.
Lady Tsunade, you wouldn't think that my preferred method of fighting is only to overpower others with a massive amount of chakra, would you?"
In battles between ninjas, the amount of chakra is naturally a very important factor, but it is by no means the sole criterion for determining victory or defeat.
Ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu are all means of ninja combat. Ninjutsu and genjutsu may be directly related to the amount of chakra.
However, in the case of taijutsu, although it's not completely unrelated to chakra, it can only be said that compared to the other two, the influence is not too significant.
Tsunade's Brutal Fist is a type of ninpo, and Tsunade herself is one of the top taijutsu ninjas in the entire Shinobi world.
Many people think that Tsunade can't use ninjutsu, but this is actually impossible.
Even without awakening Wood Style, most Senju clan members possess earth and water chakra attributes.
As the Senju clan of the forest, with direct connections to the Otsutsuki clan, Tsunade possesses five types of chakra attributes: fire, lightning, earth, water, and even yang.
With Tsunade's strength and the heritage of the Senju clan, she naturally has mastered a large number of ninjutsu.
The reason why it's rarely seen in her battles is that ninjutsu is simply not practical for Tsunade.
Indeed, for Tsunade, who prefers direct physical combat, her Brutal Fist can unleash tons of destructive power with a single strike. Why would she need to use ninjutsu?
Ninjutsu requires time to perform hand seals, while her Brutal Fist can be executed with a simple hand movement, and its power and destructive force are even greater. In comparison, ninjutsu has almost no advantage.
"You want to fight me with taijutsu? You must be referring to your swordsmanship."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Tsunade's expression also turned slightly solemn.
Because she had indeed forgotten a very important point, which was that in addition to his massive amount of chakra, his swordsmanship was also quite formidable.
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was also extremely skilled in swordsmanship, and his "Sword of the Thunder God" was well-known in the Shinobi world. However, after the Second Hokage's death, this sword was also lost.
Nevertheless, within the Senju clan, Tobirama Senju left behind numerous training scrolls related to swordsmanship, including the "Moonlit Dance."
Tsunade was aware that her disciple was a genius of the same caliber as her great-grandfather. From a young age, this child not only possessed exceptional intellect but also demonstrated outstanding talents in various fields.
In ninjutsu, genjutsu, and even swordsmanship, Yecheng's mastery was no less than that of her great-grandfather.
If one had to point out a difference, it would be that Yecheng's chakra was much more powerful than her great-grandfather's, and she had also awakened Wood Style... This aspect was somewhat similar to her great-grandfather.
Swordsmanship also falls under the category of taijutsu. Aside from the "Instant Teleportation" used in conjunction with movement, which requires a certain amount of chakra, the factors that determine the strength of swordsmanship are more about technique and physique.
And in these two aspects... In terms of physique, as a member of the Senju clan of the forest, Yecheng naturally wouldn't be weak.
In terms of skills and talents, Yecheng had already mastered all the sword techniques from her grandfather's scrolls by the age of ten. She was even praised by Konoha's White Fang as a ninja with greater swordplay talent than him!
After not seeing each other for many years, Tsunade wasn't sure what level of sword mastery Yecheng had attained, but she knew it couldn't be too shabby! As this thought crossed her mind, Tsunade's expression grew more solemn. After some hesitation, she bit her finger, quickly formed hand seals, and slapped her palm on the ground.
"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"
With the activation of a massive technique on the ground, a huge cloud of white smoke instantly enveloped the area. The next second, an enormous blue and white soft-bodied creature crushed the entire hot springs hotel and appeared in the middle of the room.
"Tsunade-sama, it's been a long time since you summoned me. Who is this enemy...
Hey, why is Little Yecheng here, and judging from your appearance, it seems like you're in a fight? What's going on? Is this a battle between master and disciple, or did you and Little Yecheng have a falling out?"
The summoned creature, squeezed out like toothpaste, was undoubtedly the Slug from Shikkotsurin, one of the three great sacred sites.
Unlike the clans from the other two sacred sites, Myouboku Mountain and Ryuuchidou, Shikkotsurin only has one Slug Sage.
The Slug Sage's main body is exceptionally large; even the legendary Ten-Tails pales in comparison in terms of size.
Each time a ninja summons a Slug from Shikkotsurin, it's actually just a part of the Slug Sage's body.
Slugs are unique as summoning beasts due to their ability to split, and each split-off individual possesses its own independent consciousness.
The size of the summoned Slug is determined by the amount of chakra the ninja consumes, and the Slug's volume directly correlates to its strength and status, making it quite straightforward.
It's normal for the Slug summoned by Tsunade to recognize Yecheng, as Yecheng, being Tsunade's disciple, had also signed a summoning contract with Shikkotsurin.
"Slug-sama, it's been a while. This fight is merely a friendly sparring match between me and my teacher, Tsunade-sensei. Please don't mind it."
In the Shinobi World, it's common for disciples to battle their masters. Orochimaru betrayed the Third Hokage, and Obito betrayed Naruto. Even indirectly, Naruto's parents died at the hands of Obito, and Jiraiya was killed by Konan.
To be blunt, in the Shinobi World, you wouldn't dare call yourself a graduate if you didn't stab your mentor in the back.
"Slug, I need your help to discipline a disobedient disciple. You don't need to hold back; just give it your all."
Tsunade's decision to summon the Slug was well thought out. The Slug has the ability to split, making it immune to Yecheng's sword techniques.
Although its attack methods are limited, it possesses healing abilities, which can indirectly provide cover for herself.
Yecheng can also summon the Slug, but Tsunade didn't think she would do so at this moment. With less than 30% of her chakra remaining, Yecheng wouldn't waste her limited chakra on summoning the relatively weak Slug, and this was her advantage.
"Tsunade-sama, it seems like it's been many years since you last saw Little Yecheng.
To be honest, it's understandable that you want to discipline your disciple, but I think you're no match for him in your current state..."
