Sarutobi Hiruzen stood silently, observing the scene with a frown. He hadn't expected Tsunade to take such direct action, but he wasn't going to stop her. As the Hokage, it wasn't appropriate for him to get involved in such matters. Tsunade, however, was more than suitable for the task. After all, she was the granddaughter of Uzumaki Mito, and even if things got messy, Mito wouldn't blame him.
Recently, Yoruichi had become... problematic. Awakening the Wood Release kekkei genkai from the Senju Clan had made him overly confident. The fact that he'd wiped out ten Root operatives and forced Danzo into hiding didn't help matters.
"It's about time Yoruichi learns there are always stronger people," Hiruzen muttered to himself.
As Tsunade erupted with chakra, her confidence was apparent. However, Yoruichi's eyes lit up in response. Through the Wooden Dragon jutsu coiled around him, he could feel a massive amount of chakra surging toward him, entering the ground, and then flowing back into his body.
"Wait... is she charging me?" Yoruichi thought, a grin spreading across his face.
The Yin Seal on his forehead, hidden beneath his Konoha headband, began to glow faintly. Nobody noticed, not even Tsunade.
At first, she was confident, but as time passed, her expression darkened. Half of the chakra she'd stored in her Yin Seal for over two years was gone, yet Yoruichi stood there, completely unfazed.
"Something's wrong," Tsunade muttered, sweat forming on her brow.
Hiruzen, sensing the shift in tension, shouted, "Yoruichi! Stop before you hurt yourself!"
But Yoruichi merely chuckled. "Don't worry, Lord Third. I'm not pushing myself at all. I just want to see how far you're willing to go. You think you can act recklessly without knowing who you're dealing with? Even if Grandma Mito were here today, I'd educate you all the same!"
A groggy voice interrupted the escalating confrontation. "Wha… Lord Third? Tsunade? What's going on?"
Everyone turned to see Kushina Uzumaki sitting up, her hair disheveled from sleep. She rubbed her eyes, taking in the scene of Yoruichi and Tsunade facing off. Alarmed, she exclaimed, "Yoruichi, what's happening?!"
Tsunade huffed, pointing at Yoruichi. "Kushina, just in time! This punk was trying to take advantage of you while you were drunk!"
"What?!" Kushina's eyes widened in shock before she shook her head. "No, no, that can't be true! Yoruichi wouldn't do something like that!"
Tsunade's jaw dropped. "Kushina, whose side are you on?!"
Yoruichi smirked. "See that? Even Kushina knows you're full of it, Tsunade. Maybe you should get your eyes checked."
Kushina glared at Yoruichi. "Don't talk to Tsunade like that! She's just looking out for me."
"Oh, really? She nearly broke my ribs before asking a single question! What should I do, huh? Ruin her reputation to match the way she's trying to ruin mine?" Yoruichi snarked. "Her problem isn't her brain—it's her chest."
Tsunade's face flushed with anger. Chakra exploded around her as she poured everything she had into overpowering Yoruichi. However, her efforts were in vain. The chakra disappeared into Yoruichi's body like water into a sponge.
Sweat poured down Tsunade's face. She was out of options, but Yoruichi wasn't done.
With a flick of his wrist, the Wooden Dragon tightened its grip, restraining Tsunade's arms. Another vine whipped upward, smacking her rear with a resounding smack.
The clearing went silent.
Everyone stared at Yoruichi, their mouths hanging open.
"I'm just helping her understand," Yoruichi said nonchalantly. "If I don't teach her some humility now, she'll go out and embarrass the Senju, the Hokage, and Konoha itself."
Before anyone could respond, a voice rang out in Yoruichi's head.
[Ding! Choice complete. You've successfully "educated" Tsunade. Reward: S-rank ninjutsu – Strength of a Hundred Technique.]
Yoruichi smirked, satisfied.
Tsunade, however, had reached her limit. The Strength of a Hundred Seal activated, black markings spreading across her face. With a burst of strength, she broke free from the Wooden Dragon, landing heavily on the ground.
"You're dead!" she roared, chakra swirling around her legs as she launched herself at Yoruichi.
"Stop, Tsunade!" Kushina cried, rushing forward to block the attack.
Tsunade's eyes widened in horror. "Kushina, get out of the way!"
But Yoruichi was faster. His hands blurred through three hand signs, and dark markings appeared on his face, meeting at his forehead and chin.
"The Strength of a Hundred Seal?! No way!" Tsunade gasped.
Three wooden dragons erupted from the ground, coiling around her in layers. Before she could react, one slammed her into the earth.
Tsunade lay there, dazed, staring up at the sky. "Did I just… lose?" she thought, unable to process what had happened.
