Tsunade Hangs on the Wall
Many people know that Tsunade possesses terrifying superhuman strength, a unique ability inherited from the Senju clan in her bloodline. Yet few are aware that Tsunade can precisely control her chakra and unleash that monstrous power from any part of her body. However, using her head or backside to channel force is far more difficult than using hands or feet, and the resulting destructive power is somewhat diminished.
Furthermore, Tsunade had not truly struck with lethal intent, only employing about thirty percent of her chakra. Even so, it was surely enough for Kisame to suffer; at the very least, he would have a mild concussion, and it would take a month or two to recover from the discomfort.
Clang!
Their foreheads collided, producing a sound as deep and resonant as a great bell. Both Kisame and Tsunade separated after the collision, each retreating seven or eight steps before regaining their balance.
"This fellow has a pretty hard head..." Tsunade rubbed her forehead, muttering to herself, her face filled with surprise as she looked at Kisame. Although she had not used her full strength, Kisame was able to withstand the impact without falling, which exceeded her expectations.
At that moment, Kisame shook his head, seeming completely unbothered, and stepped forward once more to face Tsunade.
"Now it's my turn," he said, towering over Tsunade, grinning wide to reveal two rows of sharp, gleaming white teeth.
"Come on, hit me with all you've got. Do you think I'd be afraid of you?" Tsunade pointed at her own forehead, then stood with her hands on her hips, radiating confidence even greater than Kisame's. She showed no fear whatsoever.
"Very well, then, Lady Tsunade," Kisame replied, and before his words had fully left his mouth, he suddenly lowered his head and charged forward, his massive frame surging like an enraged bull. He rammed his forehead straight into the diamond-shaped Seal of Yin Release at the center of Tsunade's brow.
Blunt Blade Dissection, activated.
Hmm?
In that instant, Tsunade felt a strange, indescribable force emanate from Kisame's forehead and surge into her body. The force was irresistible.
The next second—
With a sharp whistle, Tsunade, her face contorted in shock, was lifted off the ground. Her entire body shot backward, skimming along the surface at lightning speed like a rocket launch.
Boom, boom, boom.
Tsunade, now transformed into a human projectile, barreled down the street, knocking over lampposts, shattering trees in the flowerbeds, and finally crashed headlong into the wall at the end of the street.
Bang.
Her upper body was embedded deep in the wall, leaving only her legs and backside visible, swaying in the night breeze.
"What in the world?" Jiraiya, who had drunk too much and was vomiting by the roadside, looked up in confusion. Had something just flown past him? Was it... a UFO?
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune screamed, rushing over in panic.
Orochimaru's gaze was vacant, and after a moment of distraction, he glanced at Kisame in disbelief, before hastening to check on Tsunade.
The bystanders were equally stunned, and as they recovered from their shock, they began to murmur among themselves.
To Kusa's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Tsunade, who was hanging from the distant wall. Turning stiffly to Kisame, he asked, incredulous, "How did you do that?"
"We should head back, brother," Kisame replied, dropping the words and immediately turning to leave. Within seconds, he melted into the darkness, vanishing at the corner of the street.
He had slipped away.
To Kusa quickly came to his senses and hurried after him.
On the other side, Tsunade, as she recovered from her dizziness, was furious and humiliated. She slammed her fist into the wall, completely demolishing it.
Crash!
In a moment, the collapsing wall buried her entirely.
But only two seconds later—
With a thunderous roar, Tsunade threw off the stones and bricks that covered her, rising from the ruins, her face livid with rage.
"Kisame Hoshigaki!"
She gritted her teeth as she spat out the name, consumed with fury. Never before in her life had she suffered such shame.
Yet at that moment, another wave of dizziness struck her, accompanied by pain in her brain, causing her voluptuous figure to sway unsteadily.
"Lady Tsunade, are you alright?" Shizune rushed forward, doing her utmost to support Tsunade.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Orochimaru remarked, clicking his tongue in amazement as he teased, "Tsunade, who would have thought you'd ever be on the losing side? That kid, Kisame Hoshigaki, seems to have outsmarted you."
"Shut up!" Tsunade snapped coldly, casting a chilling glare at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's smile immediately froze, his face turning even paler than usual, for he could truly sense Tsunade's murderous intent.
"What exactly happened?" Jiraiya, having finally finished vomiting, approached with curiosity.
He failed to notice Orochimaru desperately signaling him with his eyes, and instead continued to grin at Tsunade. "Tsunade, why are you so angry? Who upset you? Still, you look so cute when you're mad, hehe."
His cheeks flushed, and he wore a lovesick smile.
Orochimaru, unwilling to witness what was about to happen, quietly turned his head away.
Sure enough, a loud bang was followed by Jiraiya's wail of pain.
"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly, turned on her heel, and strode away.
Orochimaru sighed softly and also departed.
Only Jiraiya remained, clutching the enormous bump atop his head, squatting on the ground and sobbing.
"Why... am I always the one to get hurt?"
So, the long-awaited reunion of the Legendary Sannin ended in discord and disappointment that night.
The next day.
Before leaving for the day, Kisame conducted repeated reconnaissance to ensure there were no ambushes outside the hotel. After confirming the coast was clear, he stepped out and made his way to the training grounds within the Hidden Leaf Village.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He experimented with rocks, trees, and steel plates, all of which were mercilessly destroyed by his Iron Head Technique.
Kisame discovered that the Dissection ability of the Blunt Blade seemed to employ the principle of vibration. In the moment of attack, it altered the target's natural frequency, causing resonance and ultimately destroying its internal structure.
Given this, Tsunade's physical durability was truly impressive. She had withstood Kisame's full-force headbutt without moving, and her only consequence was dizziness.
Upon reflection, it did not seem so far-fetched. After all, in the original story, Tsunade survived being cleaved in half by Madara Uchiha, and remained youthful and beautiful into her seventies. Her vitality was indeed astonishing.
After some practice, having grown more familiar with his Iron Head Technique, Kisame left the training grounds and prepared to return to the hotel.
Huh?
On his way back, he caught sight of a familiar figure.
A pink jacket, long black curly hair, and large eyes.
It was Kurenai Yuhi.
She walked as she wept softly, wiping tears from her eyes with small hands, looking utterly heartbroken.
It was well known that Kisame, outside of combat, was a warm and gentle soul.
Without hesitation, he approached her, soon standing shoulder to shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kurenai looked up, startled to see Kisame. A hint of fear flashed across her cherubic face.
"Don't misunderstand, I mean no harm. If you don't want to talk, that's fine," Kisame said, stepping back two paces.
Kurenai was silent for a moment, but eventually could not hold back. She poured out all her grievances at once.
