Tsunade's face was full of schadenfreude. She was not angry at the Uchiha clan's departure from the village. Instead, she seemed to find it funny.

Uchiha Kakuyama also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​controlling Tsunade, since she couldn't escape anyway, and there was no rush.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuyama said with some helplessness, "It's been a month since this happened. It seems that Lady Tsunade has been a bit lax in gathering intelligence?"

Tsunade was somewhat embarrassed and angry upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words. She spent her days gambling and drinking and had no interest in such matters, so she wasn't very well-informed. She said with some embarrassment and annoyance, "Don't call me 'Lord.' You are also the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, and your status is equal to mine. Is calling me 'Lord' a reminder that I'm very old?"

Uchiha Kakuzan, completely baffled by this woman's outburst, scratched his head and sighed, "Alright, Tsunade, a month ago, Konoha's advisor, Shimura Danzo, suddenly attacked Uchiha Shisui of our Uchiha clan, attempting to steal his Mangekyou Sharingan. Although he failed, it resulted in Uchiha Shisui's death."

You should know our Uchiha clan's predicament in Konoha, so we took the opportunity to request permission from the Third Hokage to leave Konoha. The Third Hokage felt guilty towards the Uchiha clan and, in order to protect Danzo Shimura, agreed to our request, on the condition that I serve in the Anbu.

When Tsunade heard Uchiha Kakuyama's information-packed words, she was stunned for a moment. She forgot to be wary of Uchiha Kakuyama, and with one hand holding her arm and the other supporting her chin, she began to think. The room fell silent for a moment.

Shizune, who was next to Tsunade, was also quite overwhelmed by the amount of information. However, instead of thinking, she kept glancing at Tsunade and then at Uchiha Kakuyama, and she also felt a sense of panic.

After pondering for a moment, Tsunade sighed. She said, "It's a pity. If Uchiha Shisui were still alive, and with your Mangekyou Sharingan, your Uchiha clan would essentially have returned to the glory days of Madara Uchiha. With your clan's support, Konoha would have dominated the other villages for the next twenty years. As long as we didn't rashly start a war, we could have guaranteed Konoha's peaceful development for thirty or forty years. Danzo deserves to die!!!"

At this moment, Tsunade looked at Uchiha Kakuyama and said, "It is actually the right thing for the Uchiha clan to leave the village at this time. After all, the Uchiha clan has been ostracized too much in the village. If you continue to stay in the village, you will either be completely wiped out or forced to become rogue ninjas."

Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Tsunade to have such a keen eye. Well, after all, she was from the Senju clan and had experienced countless wars, commanding many battles. Without a keen eye, she certainly wouldn't be qualified.

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, the Uchiha clan was ostracized too much in the village and couldn't stand it anymore, so they took this opportunity to leave Konoha. The Third Hokage kept me here because he was afraid the Uchiha clan would get out of control. Besides, the clan head and the elder were handling the relocation, and I couldn't help with that, so I stayed and temporarily stayed in the Anbu."

Upon hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said, Tsunade suddenly sighed: "Sigh, they really have made a mess of the village. The Senju clan has declined, and the Uchiha clan has all left."

Hearing Tsunade's sigh, Uchiha Kakuzan secretly chuckled to himself. Tsunade was right, but that was all in the past. Ever since Uchiha Kakuzan took control of the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo, and the other two advisors were also sidelined by the Third Hokage and Danzo, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was under his control.

His current interest in Tsunade stems solely from his interest in her body—no, in her Senju clan bloodline. As for who becomes Hokage or how Konoha will develop, Uchiha Kakuzan has absolutely no interest in that.

Uchiha Kakuyama's eyes flashed for a moment, then he changed the subject and said, "So, Tsunade, this is also an opportunity. If you can go back and succeed as Hokage, you can change the current situation in the village."

Tsunade had just finished her sigh and was still immersed in the sad atmosphere when Uchiha Kakuzan ruthlessly broke the silence. After hearing his suggestion, she directly refused, saying, "I'm not going." After refusing, she shook her head repeatedly to show her determination.

Whether Tsunade succeeds as Hokage or not is of no importance to Uchiha Kakuzan. After all, even if Tsunade successfully takes over the position, she probably won't last long before going on maternity leave. The reason Uchiha Kakuzan is wasting so much time talking to her is to take the opportunity to test his strength against her before he can control her. After all, once he controls Tsunade, she will be one of his own, and he won't be able to act freely.

When Uchiha Kakuzan heard Tsunade's refusal, it suited him perfectly. With a heavy face, Uchiha Kakuzan said, "This is the Third Hokage's order, Tsunade. Whether you want to go or not, you must return to the village."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Tsunade looked at the excessively young Uchiha before her and raised an eyebrow. "So, you want to have a match with me and see who's better?"

Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan also began to spin, greatly increasing the oppressive force. Uchiha Kakuzan said in a low voice, "Tsunade, you asked for this."

Tsunade was also intrigued by Uchiha Kakuyama's words. She clenched her fist and said, "Perfect timing. I haven't fought against an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan yet. Now I can test whether your Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan lives up to its reputation or is just empty talk."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she jumped out of the window and ran towards the outside of Tanabata Street. Her little follower followed her out in perfect unison.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Tsunade wasn't running away, but rather going to find a secluded spot in the wilderness to fight him. After all, given the fighting prowess of Tsunade and Uchiha Kakuzan, a fight could easily injure innocent bystanders.

Chapter 143 The Competition is Suspended

Chapter 143 The Competition is Suspended

Seeing Tsunade run into the wilderness, Uchiha Kakuyama jumped out of the window and ran after them.

The three ran for a while and then stopped in a deserted place. The night wind blew in, making Tsunade's hair and clothes rustle.

Ignoring her flowing hair, Tsunade looked at Uchiha Okayama, who had come with her, and said loudly with a serious expression, "Uchiha brat, are you serious? Are you sure you want to compete with me?"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuzan smiled and said, "I have long heard of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. It would be my wish to be able to compete with her."

During the battle, Uchiha Kakuzan did not use his ultimate move, Susanoo. Instead, he launched a probing attack first, Earth Release: Earth Split Palm. Uchiha Kakuzan quickly formed hand seals and then slammed his hands down on the ground. In an instant, the ground in the open area centered on Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to be hit by a strong earthquake, cracking and bulging, forcing Tsunade, who was about to approach, to dodge left and right.

Tsunade's power is too great; no one can withstand a single punch from her. Therefore, the first step is to create distance between yourself and Tsunade.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Kakuzan took advantage of the time to perform a series of hand seals.

"Escape from Earth - Yellow Spring Marsh"

"Water Escape--Big Explosive Water Wave"

Chakra is so capricious

In order to create distance between himself and Tsunade, Uchiha Kakuyama used several powerful ninjutsu in succession to alter the terrain and limit Tsunade's movement speed.

Upon seeing the ninjutsu used by Uchiha Kagami, Tsunade had no choice but to temporarily avoid the onslaught of the massive waterfall of muddy water rushing towards her.

Immediately afterwards, Tsunade also formed hand seals, concentrating her chakra at her feet.

"Superhuman Strength - Heaven-Piercing Kick"

Tsunade raised her foot high, then slammed it into the ground.

The next second, starting from Tsunade's feet, a devastating force spread towards Uchiha Hill, sinking into that part of the ground and cutting off the mud and water waterfall of Uchiha Hill.

Immediately afterwards, Tsunade stomped her black high heels on the ground, unleashing superhuman speed as she charged towards Uchiha Kakuyama, leaving a trail of dust behind.

Tsunade's sudden acceleration disrupted Uchiha Kakuzan's rhythm. Seeing that Tsunade was about to reach him, Uchiha Kakuzan quickly formed hand seals.

"Earth Escape - Earth Rock Wall"

A massive wall of earth and rock rose up in front of Tsunade, blocking her path to Uchiha Hill.

However, no sooner had the ninjutsu succeeded than Tsunade raised her fist.

"Super Strength - Tenshuken"

With a casual punch, Tsunade shattered the thick wall into pieces, charging towards Uchiha Kagami at full speed, shouting, "Uchiha brat, is this all you've got?"

When Uchiha Kakuyama saw Tsunade rushing over, not wanting to fight this super-strong woman hand-to-hand, he took a deep breath, gathered his chakra in his eyes, and his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, making anyone who looked at him feel dizzy.

"The power of the gods—Susanoo"

A dark purple skeleton quickly formed around Uchiha Kakuzan, followed by muscles and skin, and finally a majestic dark purple armor was put on him, protecting Uchiha Kakuzan.

The enormous Susanoo, like a giant, looked down at Tsunade as she charged forward. Uchiha Kakuzan didn't make a move. With the defensive power of his third-stage Susanoo, it was impossible for Tsunade to break it with her monstrous strength. Of course, if Tsunade had the kunai given to her by Shimura Danzo, she could give it a try.

When Tsunade used Susanoo on Uchiha Kagami, she immediately stopped in her tracks, looked up at Uchiha Kagami inside the Susanoo giant, and shouted angrily:

"Uchiha brats, is Susanoo the only technique you Uchiha clans know? Disperse it, and we'll keep fighting!!"

Tsunade was also aware of Susanoo's defensive capabilities. Without using her secret technique—Creation Rebirth—Hundred Healings Technique, she could not pose a threat to Uchiha Kagami inside. Moreover, the cost of using this secret technique was the depletion of her lifespan, an injury that even she, as a medical ninja, could not heal, making it unworthy of use in a duel.

Seeing that Tsunade had stopped, Uchiha Kakuyama said innocently, "Tsunade, your punches are too powerful. I don't want to take your punches; they can kill people. How about we call it a draw?"

After a brief sparring session, Uchiha Kakuyama had a good grasp of Tsunade's fighting strength. Her monstrous strength was astonishing. The Senju clan is known for its strength, and she had further developed her superhuman strength through medical ninjutsu. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the strongest in the ninja world.

The Fourth Raikage trained his body so strong using the 'Lightning Release Armor' that he still couldn't beat Tsunade in the final match. He only managed to win by cheating with his speed. Uchiha Kakuzan, whose 'Lightning Release Armor' is only at the first stage, shouldn't embarrass himself by doing that.

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Kakuzan, who was stuck inside Susanoo, and clicked her tongue in annoyance. Knowing that things had reached a stalemate, she said, "Alright, let's change the way we compete."

Upon hearing that Tsunade had agreed, Uchiha Kakuzan disbanded his Susanoo, approached Tsunade, and asked, "What method?"

Looking at Uchiha Kakuyama's excessively youthful face, Tsunade suddenly said with ill intent, "Drinking, kid, are you even an adult yet? Have you developed a tolerance for alcohol?"

Uchiha Kakuzan was speechless when he heard Tsunade's shameless words. Indeed, Uchiha Kakuzan's body had never been ravaged by alcohol, and he was definitely at a disadvantage in front of Tsunade, this old drunkard.

"Tsunade, you forced me to do this," Uchiha Okayama said through gritted teeth. "Fine, let's fight. Tsunade, let's go."

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan turned around and led the way towards Tanabata Street.

Seeing that Uchiha Kagaya had fallen for the trick, Tsunade chuckled and followed behind him.

At this moment, Shizune, who had just recovered from the shocking scene, followed closely behind Tsunade and asked, "Lady Tsunade, what ninjutsu did that Uchiha Okayama use? It was so shocking! I felt like that giant could demolish an entire city."

Seeing the lingering shock on Shizune's face, Tsunade explained as she walked forward, "That brat wasn't using ninjutsu, but a divine power that only those with the Mangekyou Sharingan can use in the Uchiha clan. It's called Susanoo. This Susanoo is extremely powerful. Back then, Madara Uchiha used this Susanoo to fight against my grandfather."

Chapter 144 Uchiha Kagakuyama Gets Summoned

Shizune raised her hand and patted her chest, saying, "So this is Madara Uchiha's signature technique. No wonder it's so terrifying; it's even bigger than Lady Tsunade's summoned beast. If I summoned Lady Katsuyu, I wonder if it could contend with this Susanoo?"

Tsunade shook her head, calmly looking at Uchiha Kakuyama ahead: "This is incomparable. Although slugs are also large, they are supportive. They can maximize my medical ninjutsu, taking care of countless teammates on the battlefield. However, because they are mollusks, they lack direct lethality."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune seemed to understand but not quite, and said, "So, when Uchiha Kagami says it's a draw with Lady Tsunade, he's actually letting Lady Tsunade win?"

Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade's face darkened, and she said irritably, "Shut up, don't make me slap you. This Uchiha Kakuzan who suddenly appeared is definitely not an easy character. Don't believe everything he says. His sudden visit to me is definitely not simply because of the Third Hokage's instructions. Something must have happened in Konoha. Damn it, I have a bad feeling."

Uchiha Kakuyama took the lead and returned to Tanabata Street. He chose a lively tavern and went inside.

Tsunade and Shizune saw Uchiha Kagami go inside, so they followed him inside.

After the group arrived at the tavern, Tsunade acted as if she were on home turf. After finding a private room and settling down, she shouted loudly, "Boss, give us ten bottles of cherry blossom wine first, and a few snacks to go with it."

When Uchiha Kakuzan heard Tsunade's shout, he was also speechless. She said ten bottles right off the bat. Was she trying to drink him to death?

Hearing Tsunade's shouts, the boss knew that a big customer had arrived, and he quickly called his staff to bring up the drinks, as if afraid that they might change their minds.

Soon after, the snacks to accompany the drinks arrived. Tsunade, in a hearty manner, picked up the bottle and shouted, "Cheers!!"

Uchiha Kakuzan actually disliked drinking, but seeing Tsunade in this state, he reluctantly picked up a bottle and clinked it against Tsunade's.

Meanwhile, Shizune, sitting next to them, watched the two drinking with concern. Tsunade was a different story; she would act crazy when drunk. And this Uchiha Kakuyama was clearly a novice who had hardly ever drunk alcohol, which made Shizune even more worried.

After touching the bottle, Tsunade raised it and gulped it down.

Uchiha Kakuzan also brought the bottle to his lips and tentatively took two sips. He wasn't actually good at drinking; the last time he drank was at Mikoto's house, where he got drunk and made some mistakes.

Uchiha Kakuyama took a sip and his eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the wine to be so delicious. It was refreshing with a hint of floral fragrance, not too spicy, and quite smooth. Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but take a couple more sips.

······

"cheers!!"

Uchiha Kakuzan and Tsunade are really at odds. Although Uchiha Kakuzan didn't drink much before, his physical abilities have recently increased dramatically, and with that boost, his alcohol tolerance is actually quite good.

Tsunade is a seasoned drinker and wouldn't get drunk from just a little bit of alcohol.

The two kept drinking, and because there was a silent person nearby, Tsunade also let loose and started drinking with Uchiha Kakuyama without considering the consequences.

Uchiha Kakuzan, however, remained vigilant. After all, he was facing Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. It would be a great injustice if he were to fall into her hands because he was drunk.

The two drank more and more, and the first ten bottles of wine were long gone. Now there were at least thirty-four empty bottles densely packed on the table.

When the two were drinking until midnight, Uchiha Kakuyama was the first to give up. He felt the alcohol rising in his head and knew he couldn't drink any more. When Tsunade offered him a drink, he waved his hand and refused, saying, "I can't, I can't, I can't drink anymore. I surrender, you win."

At this point, Tsunade was also nearing her breaking point, but facing Uchiha Kakuyama's surrender, she still said:

"This isn't enough, you Uchiha brat, you're no good!!"

Tsunade, her face flushed, let out a hiccup and said, "If you surrender, it means your mission has failed, and I won't go back to Konoha with you."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuzan was temporarily expelled from his drunken state. Remembering the purpose of his visit, he put down the bottle in his hand, straightened his body, and was about to stand up when his body suddenly went limp and he couldn't get up.

Seeing Uchiha Kakuzan's actions, Tsunade mocked, "I've long suspected you're up to no good. Although I don't know your purpose, as long as I restrict your mobility and chakra, you won't be able to do anything."

Uchiha Kakuzan understood after hearing Tsunade's words. Tsunade had known that he had other intentions all along and had drugged him without him noticing. He had been very careful, but he still fell for Tsunade's trick. It should be said that Tsunade, as one of the Legendary Sannin, was at the top in both combat power and experience.

Uchiha Kakuyama sat down obediently and carefully sensed the condition within his body.
