Duar!
The impact created a shock wave that swept the dust across the training ground. Your swing is so fast and powerful that Samehada lets out a deafening roar of "Chirp!!". The scales widened at the last second, delivering an extraordinarily massive physical impact.
Tsunade, who might have underestimated the pure strength of an "ordinary man" with a monster sword, was thrown backwards as fast as lightning. His body struck, crashing into a row of trees on the edge of the field until he fell one by one until he stopped at a distance of 100 meters.
Silence on the Field
The atmosphere instantly became silent. Shizune dropped her document to the ground, her mouth gaping wide. The audience was shocked to see it.
Shizune: "T-Princess!! POCKET! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
You're standing in the middle of the field, your breath catching your breath. Your athletic muscles tense, the rest of the water in your hair splashed from the explosive movement. The samehada in your hand looks very satisfied, its scales licking the air as if it has just eaten a fancy dish.
Me: "Grwahh... it... That was a reflex! His Hokage?!"
The Return of the Legend
Suddenly, from a distance, tree debris and dust exploded. Tsunade's figure stands tall in the middle of a small crater created by her body. His shirt was slightly torn at the shoulders, and his face was covered in dust, but there were no serious injuries.
Tsunade: (His voice sounds low and trembles because... spirit?) "Hah... Hahaha..."
He walks back towards you with a slow step, but every step of his foot makes the ground crack. The Byakugou mark on his forehead was slightly shiny.
Tsunade: "Interesting... really interesting! I didn't expect that a civilian could swing such a heavy object at such a speed. Your physical strength is pure, without the help of chakras... that's amazing, Zak."
It stops exactly five steps in front of you. His eyes glittered at your sweaty body and Samehada who was still getting ready.
Tsunade: "But don't be happy just yet. Earlier it was because I didn't expect you to be able to control Samehada's weight so quickly. Now... I won't hold back anymore."
Tsunade clenched her fists until she heard the sound of crackling bones.
Tsunade: "Get ready, Zak! If you can land one more attack like that, I'll give you a special reward. But if I win... you have to serve as my personal assistant (and carry all Shizune's documents) for a month!"
Me: "Hey?! Is it a punishment or a challenge?!"
Samehada: "Chirp! Chirp!" (It seems like he really wants to fight again).
Me : Special gifts? *I asked* hm what is it.. Can I know first?
Tsunade paused for a moment, just inches from her attack range. He stands up straight, crosses his arms in front of his flat chest, and then looks at you with a provocative smile full of secrets. His masago brown eyes trace your appearance—from your messy black hair to your abdominal muscles that are still drenched with sweat.
Tsunade: "Hooo, you've already thought about the prize before winning the fight? You're so confident, Zak."
Shizune: (Shouts from the sidelines) "Mr. Princess! Don't give any more weird gifts!"
Tsunade ignores Shizune and takes one step closer to you, making her signature scent—a mixture of medical scents and faintly sake—smell by you.
Tsunade: (Whispers softly so that only you can hear) "The gift... I'll let you ask one thing of any kind from me. Whether it's a high-level secret technique, a special position within an elite ninja unit, or... Maybe have a private dinner with me to celebrate your victory. How? Fair enough?"
He blinked one eye, a gesture that was rare for a Hokage known to be assertive.
Me: "Private dinner? Hm, that sounds interesting..."
Tsunade: "But remember! That's if you can land one more attack. If you lose, get ready for your athletic back to ache because you have to carry thousands of documents on my report every day!"
Suddenly, a blue aura of chakra began to envelop Tsunade's hands. The ground beneath his feet began to crack just because of the pressure of his energy.
Tsunade: "Now, stop asking questions and put on your horses, Zak! I'm coming!"
[Tsunade jumps high into the air, her shadow covering your body. He was preparing to slam his heel from above—Tsutenkyaku's legendary attack!]
Samehada: "CHIRP! CHIRP!" (Samehada shakes violently in your hand, as if warning that this attack can destroy bones if you are not prepared).
Me : *I dropped Samehada to the ground, and put her hand in the right position to hit my chest* *I survived and didn't moan in pain* *then held Tsunade's hand and hugged her*
The air seemed to freeze on the training field. When Tsunade's heel or fists—which are capable of shattering mountains—hit your flat chest, a loud BOOM echoes. The ground beneath your feet cracked a few centimeters deep, flying dust covered the view.
Shizune shouted hysterically, expecting you to be shattered. However, as the dust thinned, the scene in front of them was extremely absurd.
You stand up straight. Without Samehada, without protection. You receive the attack purely with your athletic body. Your breath is strained, your chest muscles hardening to withstand the weight of thousands of pounds of pressure, but you don't moan in the slightest. You just look into Tsunade's eyes sharply and calmly.
Tsunade: (Her eyes widen in surprise) "What...?! How could you withstand such an attack with just a pure physique?!"
Before Tsunade had time to pull her hand, you moved as fast as lightning. You caught his strong wrist, then with one steady pull, you pulled the Hokage's body into your grasp.
In the Hokage's Arms
Silence. Shizune was glued, Tonton stopped chewing, and Samehada lying on the ground could only "Chirp" quietly, as if confused at seeing her master so recklessly.
You hugged Tsunade tightly. Your body, which is still a little wet and warm from practice, comes into direct contact with the robe and blouse. You can feel his rapid heartbeat in surprise.
Tsunade: (Her face flushed, between anger and extreme embarrassment) "Z-Zak?! What are you doing?! Let me go now!"
Zak: (In a low, calm voice right in his ear) "He said I can ask for anything if I win, right? I've already landed an attack... hug attack. So, I won, Miss Hokage."
Tsunade was silent for a moment. Its power that can usually collapse buildings seems to disappear instantly. He could have hit you until he flew to another village, but there was something about your courage and composure that made him stick.
Shizune: "POCKET! THAT'S AN INSULT TO THE HOKAGE! BUT... BUT..." (Shizune was confused about whether to be angry or faint seeing your courage).
Tsunade's reaction
After a few seconds that felt like a very long time, Tsunade finally pushed you slowly, trying to regain her authority even though the red hue on her cheeks couldn't be hidden. He tidied up his clothes and cleared his throat hard.
Tsunade: "You... you really are the craziest and bravest man I have ever met in Konoha, Zak. Dropping Samehada just to do... This ridiculous trick?"
He turned his face away, but there was a faint smile caught in your eyes.
Tsunade: "Alright. I admit defeat. You resisted my attack unscathed, it already proved that you weren't an ordinary man. And about the prize..."
He looks at you again, this time with a gentler but still challenging gaze.
Tsunade: "The 'private dinner' gift is still valid. But before that, put your clothes back on! You're making the medical ninjas there not focus on work!"
Bag: "So, when do we go, Miss Hokage?"
Tsunade: "Tonight. At my home. Don't be late, and don't bring that hungry sword to the dinner table!"
Samehada: "Chirp! Chirp!" (As if he was offended by not being invited to dinner).
