Chapter 322: Orochimaru’s Ambition
"Forget it, I'm afraid the construction team will lose their jobs."
Kawakaze waved his hand dismissively, acting as if he hadn't heard the praise.
"Shame on you," Tsunade muttered, covering her forehead with her hand. She couldn't believe she'd followed such a showboating personality.
"Ahem..." Sakumo cleared his throat, trying to defuse the situation. "The design is still quite good. It might even help refine the delicate use of Wood Release chakra. Tsunade, why don't you give it a try?"
Sakumo stepped forward, playing the role of peacemaker. Even so, he couldn't hide his slight embarrassment at Kawakaze's antics.
"Okay," Tsunade replied, removing her hand from her forehead. She was willing to cut Sakumo some slack, even though she found the situation a bit exasperating.
"Did you remember all the seals just now?" Kawakaze asked, already preparing to demonstrate again. He showed no embarrassment, clearly excited about the prospect of teaching. In his mind, having a palace ready to go during a battle was the height of practicality.
"I remember, I remember," Tsunade responded impatiently. The idea that a few seals could stump her was almost insulting.
"Then do it again, and I'll see how it turns out," Kawakaze said, his eyes lighting up with anticipation. He was genuinely curious to see how her attempt would measure up to his creation—and whether her version might leave Yamato's efforts looking amateurish in comparison.
"I know," Tsunade replied curtly. Running through the seals Kawakaze had demonstrated in her mind, she wasted no time getting started.
Her fingers moved quickly and fluidly as she formed the seals, and, unlike Kawakaze, she didn't bother calling out the name of the ninjutsu. With a single hand pressing to the ground, chakra flowed smoothly into the earth.
