The Sannin are well - known.
Especially when the three of them are together, most ninjas would flee at the mere sight.
But individually, Tsunade is the least famous among them.
There are mainly two reasons.
Firstly, she is a medical ninja.
In the ninja world, there is a stereotype that medical ninjas are the ones to be protected and not very strong in combat.
Secondly, she is inactive.
After Tsunade developed hemophobia during the Second Great Ninja War, she distanced herself from Konoha and the life of a ninja.
It has been about a decade or so, and the new generation of ninjas hardly have any memory of her.
The only two commendable battle records are when the Sannin fought against the Demigod Hanzo and when Tsunade fought against Chiyo alone.
However, these two feats further demonstrate Tsunade's abilities as a medical ninja.
That's why Toroi was pleased rather than shocked when he saw her.
If it were Orochimaru or Jiraiya, he would most likely retreat.
Because their achievements are far more glorious than Tsunade's.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!
Ryosuke opened his mouth and spat out a fire dragon.
Kumogakure is mainly known for its Nin - Taijutsu and Lightning Release, but it doesn't mean they don't have other elemental releases.
People have different constitutions.
Some people are naturally attuned to fire - type chakra, so there's no need to abandon this advantage and practice Lightning Release ninjutsu.
After Ryosuke made his move, the other ten people didn't stay idle either.
All kinds of ninja tools flew everywhere.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall!
Natsume formed hand seals with both hands.
The fire dragon and the water wave canceled each other out. Under the evaporation reaction, various mists suddenly burst open.
Kabuto Yakushi rolled his eyes, and his body disappeared. A green light emerged from his right hand, which turned into a scalpel.
A scream rang out.
A Cloud Chunin at the edge subconsciously lowered his head and saw a bloody hand sticking out from his chest.
"Damn it!"
The nearby Cloud Ninja saw clearly that it was Kabuto Yakushi who took advantage of the mist and attacked him from behind.
A cold light flashed.
The Cloud Ninja drew out his great sword and slashed at Kabuto Yakushi.
Danger was approaching.
Kabuto Yakushi didn't react at all.
"Die!"
Seeing him look as if he was scared stupid, the Cloud Ninja showed a grimace.
The next second.
Several shurikens flew out from behind him, intertwining in the air and then hitting his vital parts from all kinds of tricky angles.
The Cloud Ninja's smile froze, and he dropped dead on the spot.
Kabuto Yakushi cut off the chakra thread with his left hand and pounced on other ninjas again.
Meanwhile, Shizune provided support not far from him.
Water Release: Water Trumpet Technique!
Natsume was under far more pressure than Kabuto Yakushi because he was facing three Jonin.
He stood in front of Tsunade, put his hands together, and a huge trumpet flower bloomed, directly passing through the remaining smoke.
Then, he quickly formed hand seals with a serious expression.
The next ninjutsu was quite dangerous, and he can use it at most once.
But it was highly likely to cause casualties on the other side.
"Damn! This guy is a Jonin!"
Ryosuke was startled.
Jonin aren't that special.
But a Jonin under ten years old is really outrageous.
"I love killing geniuses the most. They have the strength but can't use it properly."
One of Ryosuke's Jonin colleagues sneered.
He had seen too many geniuses who turned out to be a mess on the battlefield.
Moreover, those under ten years old were only limited in power.
Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!
His eyes were cold as he gathered a large amount of chakra in his hands.
A dirt wall rose, blocking the trumpet flower made of water.
All kinds of water droplets burst because of this.
Seeing this, Ryosuke nodded. A Jonin was nothing to fear.
Natsume stopped moving his hands and spat out a water column with a diameter of less than five centimeters from his mouth.
Water Release: Water Severing Slash!
A water jutsu developed by The Second Mizukage, no, The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Highly compress chakra to form a sharp blade.
In the original work, Tobirama Senju used this ninjutsu to cut off the roots of the God Tree.
Natsume couldn't compare with him.
But Ryosuke and the others weren't the God Tree either.
Moreover, this move seemed quite ordinary on the surface and was very easy to deceive the enemy.
"So small? Has our genius run out of chakra?"
Seeing this, the Earth Release Jonin couldn't help but sneer.
Despite the ridicule, his speed was not slow.
Earth Release: Earth and Stone Dragon!
A muddy dragon's head emerged from the ground and spat out a mud bullet.
Natsume gasped.
He no longer looked at this talking corpse.
Shifting Body Technique.
He blocked the shuriken of the third Jonin.
A huge force came over.
It was Nin - Taijutsu.
Natsume's body slid backward.
"Don't know how to..."
This middle - aged man originally intended to sneak attack Tsunade, but was stopped by Natsume.
He had just said three words when he was startled by the scream of his teammate.
The not - very - large water column suddenly sped up and cut through the earth dragon and its caster smoothly, just like cutting through Dove chocolate.
Even the blood was stunned for two seconds before spurting out.
Only two Jonin were left out of the three.
Natsume glanced at Toroi. This guy was the real problem.
At this time, relying on various ninja tools and Magnet Release, he had gained the upper hand.
Katsuyu was a supporting summoned beast.
Its attack method is to spit out corrosive liquid.
Besides, it was like a cheat for medical ninjas, turning single - target treatment into group treatment.
"You deserve to die!"
Lightning flashed on the middle - aged man's body, and he instantly appeared in front of Natsume.
Without any fancy ninjutsu, he directly punched out.
Taking this opportunity, Ryosuke spat out continuous fireballs from his mouth, like shooting stars, trying to drown Tsunade.
This part is not over yet. More exciting content is coming!

Seeing this, Natsume clenched his fist and met the middle - aged man's punch.
Chakra Enhanced Strength!
The middle - aged man showed an expression of victory in his grasp, but the surging power pouring into his arm made his face change drastically.
"Ahhhhh!"
His entire arm exploded.
Taking this opportunity, Natsume took out a kunai and swiped it across his neck.
At the moment when the blood gushed out, he used the Shifting Body Technique to rush towards Tsunade.
Except for a few ninjas, most ninjas had high offensive power and low defensive power.
Just then, Tsunade stood up, her body turning into a black shadow to avoid Ryosuke's ninjutsu.
The treatment has ended.
"Natsume, deal with him. I'll go deal with that Magnet Release ninja."
Tsunade created a clone and dragged Akimichi Shito to a safe place. Then, she leaped onto the head of Katsuyu.
Toroi thought something was wrong.
Originally, his plan was to suppress Katsuyu in the shortest possible time. Then, he would team up with Ryosuke and the others to surround and capture or kill Tsunade.
Either outcome would be a great achievement.
As for Natsume and the other two, he didn't even consider them.
Three brats, not wearing any special vests, basically Genin or at most Chunin.
If it took Ryosuke and the others more than ten seconds to deal with them, it would be an insult to the Jonin.
But unexpectedly, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
Eight Chunin couldn't take down Kabuto Yakushi and Shizune.
Three Jonin were fighting one, and two of them were killed. Can't they even fight properly?
Toroi even suspected that they got their Jonin ranks through the back door.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain it.
Having lost his target, Ryosuke immediately turned his gaze to Natsume.
His face was rather solemn.
With two teammates dead, he naturally didn't dare to underestimate Natsume.
Fortunately, after using so many Ninjutsu, the genius in front of him was already pale.
This was a sign of excessive Chakra consumption.
Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind!
With Ryosuke at the center, countless Chakra turned red and quickly spread in all directions, eventually forming a fire tornado.
"I'll avenge you guys."
He looked at Natsume, as if he could already see him screaming in the flames.
Rip.
The sound of flesh tearing.
Natsume's body turned into vines and was burned to ashes in the fire.
"Clone?"
Ryosuke was momentarily stunned.
He had seen various clones like Water Clone, Lightning Clone, and Earth Clone, but he had never seen a Wooden clone.
The sound of wind came from behind him.
Ryosuke's hair stood on end, and he quickly turned around.
What greeted his eyes was Natsume's right arm covered with sharp branches, or rather, wooden spikes.
This was his last sight.
The spikes penetrated his body and then branched out, turning him into a bloody hedgehog.
Since Natsume had revealed his Wood Release, he was confident in keeping them all.
He glanced at the remaining Chunin.
With Shizune and Kabuto Yakushi cooperating, there were still three stubbornly resisting.
They were almost doomed.
Finally, Natsume looked at Toroi.
This guy had a bit of a role in the original story.
In other words, he could contribute destiny value.
And it was completely different whether he died at Tsunade's hands or his. So he wanted to steal the kills and be a kill - hog.
Natsume grabbed the First Hokage's necklace, and a steady stream of Chakra rushed out, making his body feel like it was about to burst.
"Teacher."
He called out.
Both Toroi and Tsunade were taken aback.
The former was shocked by Ryosuke's death.
What the hell was going on?
In less than a minute, he was the only one left holding the fort.
Toroi was under Tsunade's pressure and didn't have the energy to pay attention to the fight between Ryosuke and Natsume, so he was completely confused now.
Tsunade understood the reason.
It must be the Wood Release.
Otherwise, it couldn't have happened so quickly.
As for Natsume suddenly calling out to her, it was obvious that he wanted to join the fight.
Over the years, Tsunade has become familiar with Natsume in every aspect.
With just a glance from him, she knew what he was going to do.
Tsunade stepped back.
Natsume immediately took her place.
Toroi realized what was going on and flew into a rage.
What do you two, master and disciple, mean by doing this?
Do you think I'm easy to bully? If a tiger doesn't show its claws, do you think it's a sick cat?
You're really looking down on people!
Toroi threw out square shurikens.
"Don't touch them with your body," Tsunade, who was watching the battle, reminded. "If you're in contact for too long, you'll be magnetized."
Magnet Release.
It's a pretty good Kekkei Genkai.
Representative ninjas are the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage.
Compared with them, Toroi's development of Magnet Release is rather ordinary.
He can only magnetize objects and is unable to control iron sand or gold sand.
Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!
Wooden boards rose around Natsume, blocking the square shurikens from a distance.
"Wood Release?!"
Toroi's eyes widened in utter shock.
He had never seen Wood Release before, but he had heard of it.
In that instant, an idea popped into his head.
Escape!
Get out of here!
Tell this news to the Fourth Raikage.
It's not much less of a merit than capturing Tsunade alive.
And most importantly, he couldn't beat the two of them working together.
Wood Release: Violent Spear Trees!
Natsume naturally wouldn't miss the chance when he was in a daze.
Or rather, he had been waiting for this moment.
Because of the great reputation Hashirama Senju had built, most ninjas would react this way when they saw Wood Release for the first time.
Multiple wooden vine branches stretched out from Natsume's body and quickly combined into a towering tree.
Toroi wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
The branches seemed to come alive and wrapped around him at an extremely fast speed.
His proud Magnet Release lost its effect and couldn't magnetize anything.
