Chapter 136
The figure flipped in midair and landed on the ground but staggered and nearly fell. Their right hand clutched their left shoulder, looking utterly disheveled.
It was Tsunade!
She looked completely exhausted. Her clothes were tattered and covered in bloodstains, with visible scratches all over her body. Her golden hair was a mess, devoid of its usual beauty, and her face was deathly pale.
She had been buried alive, yet she survived. When the cave collapsed, she knew there was no way to escape in time. So, she pushed her chakra to the absolute limit, distributing it across her entire body using her monstrous strength technique. Her head, shoulders, waist, and back—all these areas were shielded from the crushing rocks by the protective layer of chakra.
When Tsunade used her monstrous strength, she could shatter mountains with a single punch without injuring her fists. That was the power of her chakra control!
Luckily, she was born with an enormous chakra reserve, allowing her to generate enough chakra to protect her whole body. If it had been anyone else, even with perfect control over monstrous strength, they would have been buried alive due to insufficient chakra reserves.
She had made it out!
But her chakra was almost entirely depleted, and both her physical and mental energy had been pushed to their limits.
"Damn it!" Tsunade muttered, stumbling forward a few steps before gritting her teeth and scanning her surroundings.
Her vision was blurry. The night was dark, and the rain obscured everything. As she slowly looked around, all she could see was destruction—ruins upon ruins. The cave had collapsed into rubble, and the once-thriving forest before it was now reduced to a wasteland. Ancient trees that had stood for centuries were uprooted and destroyed by the battle that had taken place that night.
She didn't see Haruto Saito or Jiraiya. Due to the terrain and her position, she was unaware that they were just over a hundred meters away. Fallen trees further obstructed her view.
