Chapter 97: Tsunade vs. Shukaku
"You do your best, and I'll provide support," Seven-Tails said confidently, channeling a massive amount of chakra into Tsunade. The seal housing the beast flapped its wings, observing the battle with interest. Tsunade, however, paid no attention to the Tailed Beast's enthusiasm.
As they marched forward, she transformed once again into the Tailed Beast's chakra cloak, a form she was well-acquainted with for combat. Activating the Strength of a Hundred Technique, her body became covered in Cursed Seals. Facing the full form of a Tailed Beast demanded nothing less than her utmost strength. Her fists glowed with crimson Tailed Beast Chakra as she flapped her wings, charging directly at Shukaku.
"Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet!" Shukaku's massive arm slapped his round belly, launching a chakra-laden windball at Tsunade.
With incredible agility, Tsunade avoided the attack and countered with a powerful punch to Shukaku's head.
"Haha! You can't break my defenses," Shukaku boasted through Bunpuku, raising an arm to block the strike.
Bang!!
Tsunade's fist shattered Shukaku's arm, sending shards of sand flying.
"Well done!" Seven-Tails cheered from within, his excitement mirroring the thrill of landing the blow himself.
"Ah~!" Shukaku roared in fury, his pride wounded by the devastating punch. "This woman has so much strength," he muttered, seething.
"Don't interfere with me," Bunpuku's voice interrupted, struggling to maintain control.
In retaliation, Shukaku's sand latched onto Tsunade's arm, creeping along her body to trap her.
