As an Uchiha I became the Jinchuriki of Senju Tobirama

Chapter 53: The Rise of Team Tsunade



When the time Tsunade gave them to prepare was up, Asuma and Rin dispersed, leaving only Kazuki standing in front of Tsunade. He held the bell he had taken from Tsunade's waist, dangling it from his index finger. With a smile, he said: "Tsunade-sensei, please teach me."

At this moment, the situation seemed to be reversed.

Kazuki, with his relaxed air, didn't look like a genin about to be hunted, but rather an examiner. While Tsunade resembled a student participating in a test to snatch the bell.

Asuma stood in the distance, looking at Kazuki's figure with admiration and solemnity, and clenched his fists hard. "Fighting against Tsunade-sensei, I have to admit that I am a burden to Kazuki…"

"But it won't be too long, I will definitely catch up with Kazuki as soon as possible!"

Tsunade, seeing Kazuki's carefree attitude, laughed as she crossed her arms and said: "Brat, don't think that because you made a good soup I'm going to treat you with indulgence…"

"On the contrary, I will give you special treatment!"

In an instant, Tsunade launched herself forward. The force in her feet shattered the rock beneath her, raising a cloud of dust.

Asuma and Rin stared at this scene in amazement.

With that level of power, if she had attacked them, the fight would have been over in the blink of an eye.

Kazuki, for his part, narrowed his eyes. His Sharingan was analyzing Tsunade's movements with precision. He shook his head and even had the leisure to comment with Senju Tobirama: "Tsunade's speed is still behind Hatake Sakumo..."

Senju Tobirama rolled his eyes. Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo are competing in speed?

This kid can say that!

Do you think everyone is like you? At this age, he has gathered the talents of Uchiha Izuna and him...

Tsunade rushed to Kazuki, but what came into view was a pair of deep three-tomoe Sharingan!

The tomoe spun, radiating a mysterious aura…

Tsunade was immediately startled. She would never have imagined that Kazuki possessed a three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Boy, don't underestimate me!"

Tsunade quickly put her hands together, and a large amount of chakra burst out from her body.

"Chakra Enhanced Strength: Chakra Release!"

With chakra flowing through her body, Tsunade accelerated again.

Although Kazuki seemed to be relying on his Sharingan, he didn't expect Tsunade to be able to so easily break the control of his eyes, leaving him in a completely disadvantageous position.

Tsunade smiled. First, she had underestimated Kazuki, and that put her at a disadvantage.

But from her perspective, Kazuki had also failed to properly assess what it meant to face a Kage-level shinobi, which turned the tables again…

Asuma and Rin watched this scene nervously, not even daring to breathe.

Tsunade grabbed the bell in Kazuki's hand and said: "I got you, kid!"

But the sound of the bell rang behind Tsunade.

Kazuki patted Tsunade's shoulder from behind and said with a smile: "Tsunade-sensei, when did you get the misconception that you could resist the power of the three-tomoe Sharingan?"

When did this genjutsu come about?

Tsunade's body froze, and her eyes widened unconsciously...

She thought that at Kazuki's age, any Uchiha who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan would be arrogant by nature, believing that eye power was everything, and forgetting that there is always someone stronger in the world.

But now, she realized that she herself had fallen into that pattern of thinking.

Seeing the scene, Asuma waved his fist excitedly, unable to contain his excitement, and exclaimed: "This is Kazuki... This is Kazuki's strength!"

"I knew that the old man's student couldn't compare to Kazuki!"

Rin fell into silence awkwardly.

Asuma could say those things, but most of the shinobi in the village couldn't, including her, who was an ordinary kunoichi.

However, the surprise she felt inside was the same as Asuma's.

From her perspective, the situation was completely under Kazuki's control...

And his opponent was none other than the legendary Tsunade-hime.

Could it be that Kazuki's strength had already...

As if responding to Nohara Rin's doubts, Tsunade turned around at a very fast speed, wrapped a little chakra around her fist, and hit Kazuki fiercely!

The movement was even faster than before!

Kazuki glanced at Tsunade's fist, and did not choose to dodge, but wrapped chakra around his fist as well, and faced it head-on!

Tsunade's face changed immediately, but the inertia brought by the huge force made her unable to stop, and she could only shout anxiously: "Kazuki, kid, get out of the way!"

But Kazuki's fist was still moving forward.

So, the two fists collided head-on...

The collision of the enormous forces caused the ground to tremble slightly.

Asuma and Rin, stunned, struggled to stay on their feet as they watched the scene in disbelief.

Dust flew everywhere, and the ground cracked.

Kazuki took a few steps back and looked down at the bell he was holding, shattered by the force of both of them. Slowly, he let it fall and said: "Tsunade-sensei, it seems I've lost…"

Kazuki moved his wrist. Although Tsunade did not use all her strength in this punch, the powerful force still made his wrist feel sore.

"Your granddaughter's strength seems to be much stronger than yours, Tobirama?" Kazuki teased with a smile. After all, his strength came from Senju Tobirama.

"Little one, Tsunade's talent with Monster Strength could even match my older brother's. You still have a long way to go." Tobirama replied, a glint in his eyes. Although he usually argued with Kazuki, he couldn't help but feel a little scared inside.

Is he telling the truth?

Yes!

Tsunade's chakra level and control of chakra are both top-notch. She is a Senju who has mastered Monster Strength.

But the problem was that Tsunade already had a fully developed body, at the peak of her potential as a shinobi.

Kazuki's talent, on the other hand, was just beginning to reveal itself.

Although Tsunade didn't use her full strength in that blow, Kazuki probably didn't either…

After that collision, Kazuki had only taken a few steps back, and his wrist was still able to move with some ease…

Tobirama couldn't help but wonder about Kazuki's future: This boy… Has the potential to be as great as my older brother Senju Hashirama!

Tsunade, for her part, also looked in amazement at Kazuki, who was rubbing his wrist.

She had already prepared a plan to save Kazuki if something went wrong!

Even Jiraiya, if he dared to take one of her blows with half of her strength, would surely end up with at least one broken bone.

There was no doubt that the fusion of the Tobirama and Madara bloodlines had resulted in something much stronger than anyone could have imagined.

Tsunade frowned and, with great seriousness, quickly walked over to take Kazuki's wrist and examine it carefully.

After a while, Tsunade raised her head with a complicated look. "Little boy, you are really not simple..."

Today's entrance examination made Tsunade completely understand what kind of genius Sarutobi Hiruzen gave her...

Perfectly mastered Body Flicker Technique and genjutsu, the three-tomoe Sharingan, and an exceptional physical constitution, even by the standards of the Senju clan.

Most interestingly, despite his strength being unknown to most, Kazuki was most famous for his interpretation of the will of fire.

That perfect test he had handed in had already become a model for the teachers of the ninja school to use in class for their students…

And that soup that had warmed her from head to toe had also shown Tsunade another side of Kazuki.

Tsunade took a deep breath and said seriously: "However, I want you to know something: your strength is still not enough, and it is not time to relax."

"Every veteran Jonin of any village has a secret technique as a trump card."

"If I meet an enemy like you on the battlefield, I would summon Katsuyu to alter the terrain on a large scale and attack with long-range ninjutsu. With targeted tactics, you will still face a very dangerous situation."

Tsunade said seriously: "I'll tell you a secret: I have a technique that can double my power in combat."

"So, you still have to be humble and cautious..."

"Shinobi are extremely fragile. Whether they are jonin or geniuses, a kunai or a detonating talisman can take your life when you relax!"

Even though Kazuki's talent is extremely outstanding, Tsunade at this moment is still emphasizing the cruelty of the battlefield.

This woman's heart has been hurt too thoroughly by the endless separation.

She didn't want to miss the chance to share Kazuki's soup again.

Kazuki nodded obediently and said softly: "I understand, Tsunade-sensei, I know that I am just an ordinary person, far from being a genius..."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, nodded awkwardly, and barely followed Kazuki's words: "Ah, yes, an ordinary person, right..."

"I heard that you are interested in water release? I will give you some of my second grandfather's techniques, study them well, and when you learn them, you will probably be a qualified Chunin!"

Tsunade talked nonsense, looking at the resentful eyes of Asuma and Rin who came over, she couldn't hold it back.

Kazuki's humility was beyond Tsunade's expectations.

This is called an ordinary person, right?

Aren't you from the Uchiha clan? Why don't you have the energy to be arrogant at all!

"Okay, okay, you barely passed the test!"

Tsunade quickly skipped this embarrassing topic and waved her hand. "I declare that the Tsunade team is officially established!"

Asuma and Rin cheered, and Kazuki also laughed.

From this moment on.

Kazuki officially entered the Hokage system and became a member of the core circle of Konoha...

...

As a Genin team, the tasks that can be taken on are roughly between C-level and D-level, and the content is nothing more than delivering express delivery, finding cats, handling sundries, etc. The most difficult is to deliver some confidential documents.

Only the B-level tasks that Chunin usually take on begin to involve combat issues.

In the past three months, Tsunade led Kazuki, Asuma and Rin, starting from the D-level tasks.

Asuma, who had just completed the task of finding the cat, sighed with dissatisfaction and muttered: "Tsunade-sensei, there is no need for us to continue this kind of task, right? We are the future geniuses and elites, the pillars of Konoha!"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows, and Asuma, who was complaining, immediately stopped talking and raised his hands to show that he had no objection.

Other people may be more polite to Asuma, but Tsunade recently taught him a truth with her actions: the son of the Hokage, she can deal with it as she wants...

"What do you think, Kazuki, are you also tired of these low-level tasks?"

Tsunade looked at Kazuki sideways. Unlike the somewhat impatient Asuma, Kazuki seemed to have no resentment towards these complicated low-level tasks, and even had a feeling of enjoying it.

Kazuki shook his head, with a smile on his face. "Tsunade-sensei, the recent missions have been simple, but thanks to that, most of the shinobi in the village already know that we are your disciples. Furthermore, everyone knows the harmonious atmosphere of our team."

"Team Tsunade has made its official debut in Konoha."

On these missions, Tsunade had not just let Kazuki, and the others work alone, but actively participated. Although there were sometimes arguments, the atmosphere was always surprisingly harmonious.

In this way, all of Konoha had realized: Tsunade had formed her own team.

And it was not just another team, but one in which she really dedicated herself to teaching and accompanying her disciples, creating a strong bond between them.

This kind of impact was nothing compared to completing high-level missions. It was something invaluable in Konoha, something that even multiple S-rank missions couldn't match.
