Chapter 214:
Boom!
A puff of white smoke rose, and the air rippled with tension.
Whoosh!
From within the smoke, Nono's figure emerged. Her cloak and casual attire had vanished, replaced by a sharp, practical outfit, she now wore a vest, a ninja sword strapped to her back, a utility pouch at her waist, and gauntlets on her hands.
She crouched low, her right knee bent and her left leg stretched behind her, her body poised like a vigilant predator. Her right hand gripped the hilt of the sword on her back, while her left hand adjusted her glasses before planting itself firmly on the ground for balance. Nono stood between Orochimaru and Tsunade, her cold gaze fixed on the woman before her.
Her heart raced. Who is this woman? How could she have landed a sneak attack on Lord Orochimaru?
On the other side, Tsunade was equally stunned. Her fist still tingled from the impact. Did I really just hit him?
With Orochimaru's strength, such a direct hit should have been impossible. Even if the punch had connected, the sensation wouldn't have felt so… real.
Doubt and panic swirled in Tsunade's mind. She knew just how devastating her punch had been, enough to take down a tiger with ease. Yet Orochimaru had taken it head-on.
