Chapter 185: Body Pathway Derangement
"Lady Tsunade, as a medical ninja yourself, you naturally understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Chakra Scalpel."
"Although this scalpel can be used to sever blood vessels and muscles without leaving any external injuries, in combat, there isn't enough time to create a chakra scalpel long enough to cut through a target's arteries, heart, or other vital points."
"If I had truly aimed for your artery, you would have had more than enough time to counterattack. You wouldn't have attacked my chest, but would have gone straight for my head and smashed it."
"Hmph," Tsunade said, straightening up, her voice indifferent. "You have a great deal of combat experience. It seems you are a ninja with a high combat IQ."
Kabuto pushed his glasses up again. "I am truly honored to receive the approval of one of the Sannin."
"But…"
"This time, I'm aiming for your neck!"
Taking advantage of the injuries to her thigh and arm, Kabuto attacked again. He was extremely fast, and Tsunade's speed was noticeably slowed due to her strained muscles. Kabuto aimed the scalpel at her neck. Although Tsunade managed to raise her hand to block, it wasn't a complete stop. The tip of the scalpel still grazed her chest.
Oh no! My chest muscles have been severed. Tsunade's breathing became more and more labored. This guy, his medical qualifications and control of medical ninjutsu are probably far superior to mine at his age. He's truly formidable…
"It's over, Lady Tsunade," Kabuto said, confident that the battle was decided. "Stop your vain struggling. I could have attacked your neck, but I didn't."
"Because… you cannot die here yet."
"I have to spare your life so that you can heal Lord Orochimaru's wounds."
"Now, you will behave yourself… huh?"
Tsunade, who had seemed to be on her last legs, suddenly disappeared. When Kabuto came to his senses, she had already appeared behind him. A chakra-infused knife-hand strike slammed into the back of his neck.
"Gah!" Kabuto was sent flying. He turned around in disbelief, his face a mask of shock. It's truly remarkable. Most people would be unable to move due to breathing difficulties and muscle strain, but she… can still exert such tremendous strength.
Could it be… because the breast fat blocked it, the scalpel didn't completely cut through her chest muscles?
Damn it! I can't make this mistake again with women who have large chests.
Kabuto got up from the ground in frustration, a ferocious expression now on his face. "As expected, I'll have to make you suffer a little more!"
"!!!"
Just as he was about to attack again, a strange signal suddenly spread throughout his body. W-what's going on?
My body… I clearly wanted to move my left hand, but why is my right foot moving?
I want to move my right shoulder, but why is my… moving instead?!
Could it be that she…?
Kabuto seemed to understand something, but it was too late. Tsunade threw another punch, this one connecting squarely with his left cheek. Because of the muscle strain, Tsunade's monstrous strength had been greatly reduced, but even at partial power, she was still far stronger than an ordinary person.
Kabuto knew very well that he couldn't let this continue. He would be killed by the woman in front of him sooner or later.
"This is going to be troublesome…"
