"How much strength would that take?"
Lady Tsunade's physical power and combat skills were already at the top level. There were very few in the entire ninja world who could throw her using brute force!
But this young ninja from the Uchiha clan? Could he really do it?
Shizune had been cleaning up behind the scenes and hadn't seen what just happened, so she found it hard to believe.
She even wondered if Tsunade had drunk too much, causing her to misperceive the situation.
"You've had too much to drink!" Genya said calmly. At this moment, he regarded Tsunade as nothing more than a stranger, not even understanding her thoughts.
If Tsunade sided with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the stubborn advisors of Konoha, then they would be enemies.
The Uchiha clan had to produce the next Hokage to ensure their plans wouldn't be affected. Genya didn't feel the same awe for Tsunade that other Konoha ninjas did.
So, if Tsunade dared to make a move against him, he wouldn't hold back.
"No! I haven't had too much, not too much!" Tsunade stubbornly insisted. Though she was a heavy drinker, she was still clear-headed. She vividly remembered being thrown!
As one of the legendary Three Sannin of Konoha, even drunk, she maintained some rationality.
"Lady Tsunade, you've had too much. He's just a kid. There's no way he could have thrown you. You must have fallen yourself!" Shizune quickly stepped forward and hugged Tsunade, her voice anxious.
She was afraid Tsunade might throw a punch and accidentally send Genya flying!
These children, just newly promoted genin, could never withstand a punch from Lady Tsunade.
"That's not right… I was thrown by him!" Tsunade insisted relentlessly. She looked at Shizune and said, "You don't trust me? Even if I'm drunk, I can remember exactly what happened!"
"Let go!"
Tsunade turned to Shizune, her voice filled with absolute certainty.
"But… he's still a child!" Shizune said, slightly taken aback. Looking into Tsunade's unwavering eyes, she hesitated, unsure whether to trust the drunk yet determined Tsunade or… what?
"Sensei, we should leave!" Genya said, looking at the two of them. He didn't continue the conversation and simply bypassed Tsunade, heading forward.
He had no desire to waste time talking to a drunk.
If possible, let her continue to fall into despair.
A person like that does not deserve to be the leader of the Senju clan.
The future leader should be entrusted to Hikari.
Hikari is stronger than her and also possesses Wood Release.
She can surely lead the Senju clan more effectively.
"Lady Tsunade, we'll be leaving now!"
Kurenai nodded and said to Tsunade before continuing forward.
Then she added, "I'll visit again once Lady Tsunade sobers up!"
Kurenai had two reasons for wanting to leave.
First, Genya was already upset, and if Tsunade continued to linger, she might end up at a disadvantage.
Second, Tsunade was drunk, and some matters could not be discussed in her current state.
It was better to wait until she sobered up.
Perhaps then they could resolve things clearly.
Meanwhile, tension was rising in the villages, and strong shinobi needed to return to manage the situation and stabilize things.
Tsunade was officially the Jonin of Konoha.
She even possessed strength on the level of a Kage.
Even though Kurenai did not like Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods, as a Konoha ninja, she did not want to see the village suffer.
She planned to have a serious talk with Tsunade after she sobered up.
Above all, she did not want to see her continue to fall into despair.
With that thought, Kurenai led Genya and the others in a different direction, leaving Tsunade without further words.
"Stop right there! Did I let you leave?"
Tsunade's voice was loud and unrelenting.
She broke free from Shizune's restraint and staggered toward Genya.
Her speed increased rapidly.
Almost to the point of Body Flicker Technique.
Shizune tried to stop her, but it was too late.
By the time she looked up again, Tsunade was in front of Genya, her hand reaching toward his shoulder, intending to grab him.
But before she could hold on, Tsunade froze.
Then, her entire body flew backward, hitting the ground heavily and sliding several meters.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Everyone turned their heads at the noise.
Seeing Tsunade lying on the ground, reeking of alcohol, someone joked, "Another drunk, but what a shame for such a good body!"
Where there's teasing, there's always someone looking for an advantage.
"Pretty lady, want to come with me? I have… something good…"
A lecherous-looking man stepped forward, his tone teasing as he looked at Tsunade.
But before he could finish his words, he couldn't say another syllable.
Tsunade's fist slammed into him!
In an instant,
The perverted man instantly bent over, his eyes bulging.
He was sent flying through the air, spewing blood twice before crashing to the ground.
His legs twitched violently.
Anyone who had been thinking of taking advantage of the situation was instantly sobered up.
They scattered immediately, fearing Tsunade's reaction and another devastating punch.
Two small-time thugs hurriedly lifted the bloodied man and fled.
One of them, however, left a harsh warning as they departed: "Just wait! My brother won't let you off!"
After that ominous threat, they slunk away.
The onlookers who hadn't left yet watched in dismay.
The man who had been knocked away was the elder brother of a Jonin ninja in this small town.
The woman was about to suffer… no, she was about to get unlucky.
But when they saw Tsunade slowly rise and sweep them with a ferocious glare, their hearts skipped a beat.
They hurriedly scattered, afraid of provoking the drunken, violent woman.
Silent watched Tsunade, but her eyes were fixed on Genya, full of disbelief.
This was unbelievable!
She knew Tsunade's strength well. Even in a drunken state, she was formidable.
Yet now, someone had actually sent her flying—this was beyond her imagination.
Her face was full of astonishment.
When did the Uchiha clan in Konoha produce a child like this?
She studied Genya's appearance carefully… and then noticed the Dual Pupils.
Dual Pupils!
Wasn't this supposed to be the Uchiha clan's recent "failure" that everyone in Konoha had been talking about?
Seeing this, Silent felt even more flustered.
The situation was spiraling beyond her expectations.
A so-called "failure" possessed such strength—surely he must have some special ability.
"Sensei, let's go."
Genya and Silent exchanged a glance before turning and walking forward again.
He had originally wanted to ask why Tsunade had gripped him so tightly,
But seeing the drunken, violent Tsunade, he decisively gave up.
Talking to this kind of person was a waste of time.
It was far better to just go back and get some sleep.
