course, Tsunade's original intention was definitely not to make the two of them mortal enemies; her intention was simply, since you two don't see eye to eye, then just have a fight.
You don't know each other until you fight, right? Won't your relationship get better after fighting?
This was the best method Tsunade, who was naturally carefree, could think of.
Including her taking Uchiha Mikoto as her disciple just now, it was also an action Tsunade took to compensate for the guilt of what she was about to do later.
When Kushina and Mikoto heard Tsunade's words, they exchanged glances, and their hearts stirred with a hint of excitement.
"This isn't good, I'm so much older than Kushina..."
But Uchiha Mikoto was still very reserved; she was quite a bit older than Kushina, and fighting Kushina would inherently be unfair to Kushina.
What's more, she had obtained the System and received so many rewards; Uchiha Mikoto herself didn't know how strong she truly was now.
Would it be bad to bully a younger sister like this?
Although Uchiha Mikoto had just provoked Uzumaki Kushina because of Uchiha In, she didn't dislike this cute younger sister in her heart.
"Don't look at my age; I'm very strong."
Kushina heard Uchiha Mikoto's words and could also feel Uchiha Mikoto's goodwill, and her heart warmed slightly.
This Mikoto nee-san isn't so bad after all; she even knows to let me win. However, I am very strong, very strong.
After Kushina obtained the System, she also received many rewards, so Kushina was confident that although she was younger than Mikoto, she was not inferior in strength.
A trace of Battle Intent flashed in Kushina's eyes; although Uchiha Mikoto was older than her, Kushina was still confident she could defeat Mikoto.
Mikoto saw the Battle Intent in Kushina's heart and said nothing more.
Since the other party had actively sought a fight, Mikoto naturally wouldn't back down.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Tsunade nodded with satisfaction.
"In this battle, you can use your full strength; don't be afraid of accidentally hurting each other. If one of you is in danger, I will intervene in time."
"Even if you sustain some minor injuries, it's no problem; I am an excellent Medical Ninja."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she pulled Uchiha In to stand to the side.
Even if Uchiha In had a thousand Unwilling s, at this moment, he could only stand aside and watch the two fight.
He just hoped the two wouldn't truly get angry.
"Mikoto nee-san, I'm attacking first."
Kushina scraped her foot against the ground, using the ground's pushback force to rapidly charge towards Uchiha Mikoto.
Seeing Kushina's burst of speed, Tsunade, Mikoto, and Uchiha In all showed surprised expressions.
So fast! Does Kushina have this kind of speed? She clearly wasn't this strong a few days ago!
Could it be that Kushina didn't use her full strength when she fought Uchiha In back then?
Tsunade's expression was a bit strange.
Due to receiving the reward of all-attribute increase, Kushina's speed was much faster than before, incomparable to how it was previously, and of course, others didn't know this.
Uchiha Mikoto was also surprised that Kushina could possess this kind of speed at her age.
In a blink of an eye, Kushina's fist reached Uchiha Mikoto's face; Uchiha Mikoto seemed to have no power to resist and was directly struck by Kushina's punch.
Bang~
Uchiha Mikoto instantly turned into a log, appearing behind Kushina.
Such a skilled Substitution Technique; this Uchiha Mikoto's strength is probably also very strong.
Tsunade had originally thought their confrontation would be a typical Genin-level battle, but she didn't expect their combined strength to seemingly reach the Chunin level.
"Very good speed; your strength is stronger than I imagined."
Uchiha Mikoto flipped her wrist, and with a whoosh, a Kunai shot out towards Kushina.
"That's why I said it! I'm very strong, Mikoto nee-san, you need to be careful!"
Kushina's tone was light, but she wasn't careless at all. Uchiha Mikoto's Substitution Technique just now had extremely fast hand seals; even with her own swift attack, she was still a step too slow.
Her eyes narrowed, and her body suddenly dodged to the side.
That Kunai flew directly past Kushina's side and backward.
After dodging, Kushina charged towards Uchiha Mikoto again.
Uchiha Mikoto didn't dodge this time, and their fists collided head-on.
To Uchiha Mikoto's surprise, Kushina's punch had an unusually heavy force, completely unlike the strength a girl her age should possess.
She quickly retreated, creating distance between herself and Kushina.
"Your strength is so great! Are you a Taijutsu-type Ninja?"
Uchiha Mikoto looked at Kushina, who was still about to attack her, and muttered to herself.
"In that case, I'll have to use Ninjutsu."
"Kushina-chan, be careful."
Uchiha Mikoto said, then quickly formed hand seals.
After she finished forming the hand seals, she brought her right hand, fingers together with a gap in the middle, to her mouth. Then, her abdomen slightly bulged and then contracted, and intense flames spewed from her mouth.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
The fiercely burning flames rapidly shot towards Kushina, seemingly about to engulf her entirely.
"Oh no, Kushina can't dodge this Ninjutsu."
Tsunade thought to herself, 'This is bad,' and was about to make a move.
Chapter 53: Astonishing Strength
"Tsunade-nee, no need for help! I can still do it!"
Seemingly noticing Tsunade's movement, Kushina shouted, refusing Tsunade's assistance.
Her hands also rapidly formed hand seals, and then, the seals were complete.
