I Just Wanted to Slack Off, But I Was Forced to Become Hokage

Chapter 79: The Golden Goose's Test!

Faced with the summons from his top boss, Nara Keisuke could not refuse.

After nodding to Yakushi Nono'o, he followed behind Tsunade, and they left the Kikyo Orphanage together. Tsunade seemed to have some truly urgent business to attend to. After leaving the orphanage, she fully utilized a ninja's "wall-running" specialty, moving rapidly through Kikyo Castle.

'In just one day, two of the Sannin have visited the Kikyo Orphanage. It's really been lively.'

Keisuke followed behind Princess Tsunade at an unhurried pace, his mind constantly pondering the reason for her sudden appearance. 'But Tsunade's arrival is a bit too abrupt, and the timing is too much of a coincidence. Could it be...'

Just then, Tsunade, who was running ahead, proactively stopped. Keisuke landed behind her and looked forward, only to find that the two had arrived at the training grounds in Kikyo Castle.

"Hm?" He cast a questioning look at her.

"I just received a message from Orochimaru." Tsunade carefully sized up Keisuke, a trace of astonishment in her beautiful eyes. "Nara, you've really changed quite a lot!"

A message from Orochimaru?

Keisuke recalled a line Orochimaru had mentioned during their duel and felt completely speechless. Did Uncle Snake really go and tattle? Does he have that much free time?!

During this period, to cope with the upcoming war, Tsunade had been busy with overall management work in the Medical Department, preparing medical supplies, cultivating medical ninja, and providing guidance on difficult medical problems... Even the frequency of her visits to the gambling den had decreased considerably.

It was precisely because of this recent busyness that Tsunade had not had any spare time to deal with matters concerning Nara Keisuke. Her impression of him was still stuck on the "young and cute, black-haired little shota" from before. She hadn't expected that after not seeing him for a few days, the cute shota would have grown into a handsome young man...

'This handsome appearance, he doesn't look like a ninja from the Nara clan at all. He looks more like a pretty boy from the Uchiha.'

Tsunade secretly compared her height with Keisuke's. She remembered that his head hadn't even reached her chest before. But now, his forehead could almost touch the tip of her nose...

Unaware of the golden goose's inner thoughts, Keisuke just politely responded to her earlier words. "Lady Tsunade—"

"Hm? I remember I specifically taught you before, didn't I? You're to call me Sister Tsunade!"

"Sister Tsunade." Keisuke complied smoothly. "I believe I mentioned before that I'm going through a growth spurt."

"If eating could make you grow taller, then the Akimichi clan's ninja shouldn't be growing wider," Tsunade said, shaking her head. She reached out to grab his hand, intending to check his physical condition.

But Keisuke took a step back, avoiding her hand. He was now a "taken man"; how could he so casually hold hands with another girl? Not even the golden goose!

"Tsk, you really are..." Tsunade clicked her tongue, though she wasn't surprised by his reaction. In her eyes, he had always been a "shy and introverted little boy." "I just wanted to check your body."

That sounds even weirder!

Keisuke shook his head. "My body is great."

"I can see that," Tsunade nodded, simultaneously believing she had seen through to the truth of the matter. "Orochimaru mentioned in his letter that your family values you very much. They must have been the ones who helped you solve your physical problems, right? It seems the Nara clan's medical skills are even higher than I imagined."

Before Keisuke could respond, Tsunade suddenly clenched her fists. Her seemingly delicate and soft little pink fists, under her astonishing strength, let out a series of explosive cracks of bone and sinew, making one's eyelids twitch. "In that case..."

Tsunade extended her right hand and beckoned to Keisuke with her index finger. "Spar with me! Use your full strength!"

A mission prompt suddenly popped up on the panel.

[A-rank Ninja Combat Mission Detected]

[A-rank Mission: Princess Tsunade]

[Mission Content: Defeat/Kill Tsunade]

[Mission Reward: A-rank Shinobi Secret Scroll]

Nara Keisuke was silent for a moment. "Is that really a good idea?"

"What's not good about it?" Tsunade took a large step forward, retracting her index finger and clenching it into a fist. "The Uchiha genius, the Root Jonin, and even Minato and Orochimaru have fought you... Come on! Come at me head-on!"

Seeing Princess Tsunade's request, Keisuke silently took a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and held it in his hand. "I'm coming!"

Tsunade was just about to charge forward to test just how exaggerated Keisuke's skill level really was, as Orochimaru had claimed. But just at that moment, Keisuke, holding the kunai, quickly sliced open his own palm. A glaring stream of fresh blood instantly gushed out.

The moment Tsunade saw the blood, she nearly performed a "sliding kneel dash" right in front of him. Keisuke's blood was like a basin of ice water poured over her body and soul, completely extinguishing her will to fight.

The imposing Princess Tsunade instantly turned into a shivering little fat sheep, standing on the spot and trembling all over, not daring to take a step forward.

[You have defeated the A-rank Ninja Combat Mission target!]

[You have obtained one A-rank [Shinobi Secret Scroll]!]

'This is probably the fastest A-rank mission ever completed, right?'

Keisuke took a bottle of hemostatic powder from his tool pouch, poured it onto his palm to accelerate the wound's healing, and then wrapped it with a few rounds of bandages.

After the bloodstain disappeared, Tsunade finally let out a sigh of relief, but her whole person still seemed somewhat weak. "Nara, you're cheating..."

"Didn't you tell me to use my full strength, Sister Tsunade?" Keisuke walked to her side, supporting her as they slowly walked to the other side of the training ground to help her recover. "Intelligence is also a part of a ninja's strength."

"But..." Tsunade pressed her lips together, not knowing what to say. In the end, she just cut to the chase. "One more time! This time, you're not allowed to self-harm and draw blood!"

After about a quarter of an hour's rest, Nara Keisuke and Tsunade began a new round of battle.

"Remember the rules?"

"No seeing blood."

"Good!"

The moment the Seal of Confrontation was formed, Tsunade's figure instantly vanished. She flashed to Keisuke's side at extreme speed, her fist raised high. But the shadow at Keisuke's feet also spread forward at this time, forming a fan-shaped black shadow net.

[Shadow Paralysis Jutsu]!

The moment Tsunade flashed into the area above Keisuke's shadow grid, the long-prepared [Shadow Paralysis Jutsu] used the overlapping shadows to forcibly control her body, suppressing her movement speed.

"Nara, don't rely too much on your family's secret techniques! The Shadow Secret Techniques don't work on everyone!"

Tsunade let out a soft cry. A hazy green light emanated from her body, and the ferocious power that surged from within her directly tore apart the control of the [Shadow Paralysis Jutsu]. "Monstrous Strength!"

Through this incredibly violent breakthrough method, Tsunade directly "tore apart" the jutsu and once again moved towards Keisuke. The fist, wrapped in a faint green light of monstrous strength, was about to smash into his forehead.

In that split second, Keisuke's figure suddenly dropped low, and his entire body lay flat on the ground. He had used the gap when Tsunade broke free from the jutsu to prepare a dodging strategy in advance.

[Flat Shadow Technique]!

Folding his entire body into a perfectly flat shadow, Keisuke dodged Tsunade's attack. Having lost her target, Tsunade continued to rush forward due to inertia. But just as her figure was about to disconnect from Keisuke's shadow, his figure emerged from the ground. Darkness filled his pupils; he had activated the [Lacquer Eye] technique.

Staring at Tsunade's departing back, Keisuke, in the nick of time, summoned one after another, almost physical shadow hands, once again pinning Tsunade in place.

[Shadow Neck Binding Technique]!

The lacquer-black shadow transformed into a tangible hand, snaking up Tsunade's voluptuous thigh, as if to choke her neck and knock her out on the spot.

Feeling the strong binding force from her body, Tsunade once again gathered all her strength. "Monstrous Strength!"

It was still an incomparably violent method of breaking free. A ferocious gale, comparable to a hurricane, suddenly burst from Tsunade's delicate body. The ground of the training field cracked under her terrifying strength. As for the black shadow hands wrapped around her body, under the effect of her peerless monstrous strength, they were beaten back section by section, shrinking back the way they came.

Although the control effect of the [Shadow Neck Binding Technique] was stronger than the [Shadow Paralysis Jutsu], when the power erupted by the controlled person was too great, it also couldn't achieve the desired result.

After completely breaking free from the control, Tsunade raised her ordinary little pink fist and smashed it down on the ground below.

BOOM!!

The long-accumulated chakra rushed into the earth, immediately erupting in a violent roar. The flat ground instantly shattered under this astonishing monstrous strength. Large chunks of mud and rock fragments splashed out in all directions, and fine dust particles turned into a puffy yellow mist that spread out, obscuring vision.

Keisuke's pupils contracted slightly. He gathered chakra in his legs and retreated backward at high speed, so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.

[Body Flicker Technique]!

But at the same time, a thick, strong shadow steel cable shot out from beneath him and into the dust cloud.

Inside the dust cloud, Tsunade listened intently, discerning Keisuke's moving position through the subtle sounds, and rushed out of the mist. But her movement just happened to run into the shadow steel cable that Keisuke had released.

[Shadow Grasping Technique]!

The big fat sheep was arrested on the spot once again!
