Uchiha's Taijutsu Supreme

The Yata Mirror's Magatama, unique to Susanoo, has power comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu.

In the original story, during the Edo Tensei period, Itachi, Naruto, and Killer Bee used their respective techniques—Magatama, Rasenshuriken, and a small Tailed Beast Bomb—to destroy Nagato's Chibaku Tensei.

Facing the Yata Mirror's Magatama, Fuma couldn't take it head-on, as it could easily lead to a severe disadvantage.

Setsuna forcefully pushed Susanoo to its limits, launching Magatamas in a saturated attack from its sword slashes, blurring his vision.

Fuma glanced at the black hawk in the sky, calculating the distance and timing.

As more Magatamas came his way, Fuma pretended to be exhausted and allowed himself to be hit by a series, causing a massive explosion that obscured his figure.

Seeing Fuma get hit, Tsunade didn't hesitate and charged into the smoke, not giving him any chance to catch his breath.

Fuma now showed a slight decline, with cracks appearing on the protective mirror of his blood armor. Susanoo's attack power was among the top in the Kage level.

Fuma saw Tsunade rushing toward him, smiled, and retreated in the opposite direction to protect the black hawk, no longer choosing to charge at Setsuna.

Tsunade followed closely, delivering a powerful punch towards Fuma.

Unfortunately, in this battle, Fuma only faced the threat of Magatama forcing his movement when approaching Setsuna, allowing Tsunade to corner him and occasionally land a hit.

If Fuma didn't aim to attack Setsuna, Tsunade couldn't threaten him at all due to his speed.

Fuma maintained a delicate speed, staying just ahead of Tsunade, using his advantage to deliver brief strikes, wearing down her stamina.

Light punches couldn't be fatal, and against a medical ninja like Tsunade, there's no chance of winning by attrition.

However, this method caused intense frustration!

Tsunade was hit in the shoulder by a swing punch. As she prepared to counter, Fuma, having succeeded, withdrew with a relaxed smile.

He approached again, delivering a jab to her chest, then apologized with a smile as he distanced himself again.

Tsunade was both embarrassed and angry, feeling harassed, her frustration building up.

Fuma's combat style exploited weaknesses, attacking where his opponents were less strong, essentially bullying the weak and avoiding the strong.

Frustrated and irritated, Tsunade shouted, "Summoning Jutsu!"

Three gigantic slugs appeared on the battlefield.

This was possible because the current Tsunade, with the support of the Mangekyo Sharingan and her Senju bloodline, could lavishly use her chakra to summon three giant creatures simultaneously.

"Slug Sage, please seal off this training ground with your mucus!"

This commander election, being among Konoha's powerhouses, had no set rules—everything was up to personal judgment.

Clearly, if Tsunade managed to seal off the entire field, Fuma couldn't just keep retreating or run out of the training ground.

This wasn't moral coercion but rather an unwritten rule of the competition.

The three giant slugs sprayed corrosive mucus, the ground sizzling as the acidic substance covered the training field in greenish-yellow liquid.

Fuma looked at the mucus underfoot and chuckled. Tsunade was going all out to restrict his speed, regardless of consequences.

He moved forward, throwing a punch at Tsunade.

Tsunade's eyes lit up; she hoped Fuma would engage her in a power struggle. With the Mangekyo and slug enhancements, she had a slight advantage in strength.

"Boom—"

Their fists collided, the sonic boom echoing through the forest as Tsunade and Fuma engaged in a test of strength.

Fuma smiled, glancing at Setsuna, who was clutching his bleeding eyes, and the black hawk hovering 200 meters high with a giant stone slab, ready to execute his winning strategy!

The black hawk spread its wings, carrying the stone slab, diving towards Setsuna.

Setsuna, clutching his bleeding eyes, had been heavily burdened by maintaining Tsunade's enhancement state.

Barely seeing the black hawk in the sky, Setsuna didn't mind, thinking this foolish summon intended to drop the stone slab on him.

Setsuna slightly raised his head, merely controlling Susanoo to lift its sword, waiting for the black hawk to deliver itself.

Fuma's blood armor had dimmed significantly. He released his power, taking a punch from Tsunade, and flew out.

Tsunade, both surprised and excited, thought, "The Mangekyo has significantly boosted my power."

She instantly body-flickered after Fuma, getting farther from Setsuna.

Flying out, Fuma smiled triumphantly, ready to execute his plan, which he called, "Kindergarten Version Flying Thunder God Technique!"

The black hawk and the stone slab fell, but unexpectedly, the hawk's wings folded in a human-like manner, as if forming a seal, "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"

In a burst of smoke, Fuma appeared on the hawk's back, only 100 meters from Setsuna!

Fuma looked at Setsuna, smiled, gathered chakra, braced against the stone slab, and shot towards Setsuna like a bullet!

Tsunade, watching from afar, was stunned. Summoning creatures that could switch places with their owners weren't rare; Uchiha's ninja cats could perform reverse summoning to support their owners upon signing a contract.

However, few would use such a technique in combat due to the limitations of the summon's chakra and aptitude. Beyond a few kilometers, reverse summoning success was almost zero.

In major ninja clans, this technique was often a game for children, including her childhood self.

But now, Fuma needed just one chance to face Setsuna head-on and secure victory!

Seeing Fuma shooting towards him, Setsuna's right eye spun rapidly. The Mangekyo greatly enhanced his chakra, and Susanoo began to evolve further.

Ignoring the blood streaming from his eyes, Setsuna laughed, "Come on! Youngster! This is a real battle!!"

Fuma's blood armor melted rapidly, reshaping into a formidable blood axe. His muscles tensed, spine arched at a sharp angle, gathering terrifying strength!

"Boom!!!"

Before Susanoo could fully don its tengu armor, Fuma descended from the sky, and the white sword and blood axe clashed. Unfortunately, Susanoo's second form couldn't stop Fuma at all; the white Susanoo was sliced like melting ice cream by the blood axe!

The blood axe transformed back into armor, covering Fuma. With a powerful kick, Setsuna was sent flying. Fuma followed, delivering a brutal hook to Setsuna's temple!

"Swish."

The gust from the punch lifted Setsuna's hair, turning his messy bangs into a comical pompadour.

They stood in silence.

Fuma patted Setsuna's shoulder, "Clan leader, the Third Hokage said it's a good sign when talented young ones emerge."

Gathering chakra in his hand, Fuma gently healed Setsuna's broken bones and tendons, a skill mastered as a taijutsu expert.

Looking at Setsuna's tattered clothes and blood-soaked face, Fuma sighed, "Clan leader, I understand now. I understand the power of the Uchiha's eye techniques. I will go back and study them. You should step down now."

Setsuna remained silent, staring at Fuma's physique. After a moment, he said weakly, "I understand."
