Curse Mark Tsunade

The Disorderly Disturbance Technique couldn’t be said to have had no effect on Hyuga Mirai, but if he used Revolving Heaven, he could ignore its effects.

Only after sending Tsunade flying did Hyuga Mirai begin treating himself. The principle of the Disorderly Disturbance Technique was to convert Chakra into electrons and disrupt the body’s normal reactions. Hyuga Mirai merely needed to use the Mystical Palm Technique to repair the affected areas inside his body.

This was not difficult given his Chakra control, but there were almost no others who could have done what he did under such circumstances.

"Your strength can be called the greatest in the Ninja World, but your speed is somewhat lacking. Although the Strength of a Hundred Seal lets you trade injuries for injuries, you’re somewhat helpless against speed-focused Taijutsu Ninja, Princess Tsunade."

Hyuga Mirai spoke as he walked toward Tsunade. Though he knew she was taking the opportunity to heal her injuries, he did not care.

After healing herself, a trace of anger flashed across Tsunade’s pretty face. "You brat, don’t look down on people!"

With that, Tsunade’s Body Flicker speed increased once more. After using the Strength of a Hundred Seal, her body was completely in a state of passive recovery. Even if parts of her body were injured, they could quickly recover.

Under such circumstances, Tsunade could unleash Chakra without restraint to increase her Body Flicker speed.

However, even after increasing her speed, she still could not match Hyuga Mirai.

After removing his weights, Hyuga Mirai had been fast enough to force Orochimaru into a miserable retreat during their battle. Tsunade still fell somewhat short compared to him.

Boom!

Boom!

Every punch Tsunade threw smashed the earth into deep craters, and a casual kick could easily snap giant trees over two meters in diameter. Yet no matter what she did, she could not touch Hyuga Mirai.

Instead, Hyuga Mirai sent her flying several times during their fierce exchange, and each time, she had to waste Chakra healing the internal injuries left behind by the Gentle Fist.

This forest had also been devastated. Vast swathes of trees were destroyed, while hundreds of cracks and craters of varying depths covered the ground.

Soon, as time passed, the intense battle gradually slowed.

Cough, cough!

Tsunade coughed up a trace of blood and leaned against a tree, breathing slightly heavily.

The massive expenditure of Chakra and stamina meant she could no longer maintain such high-intensity combat. Fortunately, she had not been away from the battlefield for long. If this had happened several years later, her abilities would definitely have fallen several levels. Forget fighting Hyuga Mirai—she would likely have been knocked down by him in just a few exchanges.

This brat is too strong, and his Chakra and stamina seem bottomless. If this keeps going…

Tsunade also sensed that things were going badly. She did not know why, but after coincidentally running into this White-eyed Kid, she had been unable to suppress the anger in her heart and had directly leaped out to try and subdue him.

It was probably a feeling similar to being betrayed. Back at Konoha Hospital, although she had failed, Tsunade had genuinely considered taking Hyuga Mirai as her disciple. She had not cared about his identity as a member of the Hyuga Branch Family or as a Konoha Ninja. Though they ultimately had not become master and disciple, Tsunade had taught Hyuga Mirai’s questions with great seriousness.

When she encountered questions beyond her knowledge, Tsunade would specifically look them up and give him an answer the next day. She had never been this attentive even when teaching Shizune.

Hyuga Mirai’s ideas might have been somewhat strange, but both his talent and personality suited her very well. The reason Tsunade had taught him with all her strength was also because she hoped that after she left, Konoha’s medical system would not suffer a break in continuity.

But the result had exceeded her expectations.

"Princess Tsunade, has your hemophobia been cured?"

Hyuga Mirai pointed at the blood flowing from the corner of Tsunade’s mouth and asked with a slight frown.

What was this? He had originally planned to use Tsunade’s hemophobia to make her lose the ability to resist, then bring her back to the base for some physical persuasion. Unexpectedly, after Tsunade wiped away the blood just now, she immediately threw herself back into battle.

"Hemophobia…"

Tsunade snapped out of her memories and touched the blood at the corner of her mouth. In the past, she could not bear the sight of that red liquid at all, but this time, seeing her own blood did not make her feel anything.

Rather, the fury in her heart had already surged to its peak, and that emotion had overwhelmed all her other senses.

"Hmph, then I suppose I should thank you."

Tsunade spoke with a cold laugh, though she felt something was wrong. The Strength of a Hundred Seal was almost at its limit. Once that Ninjutsu ended, her physical functions would decline considerably, and both her speed and strength would weaken greatly.

"If you want to thank me, then show it through your actions!"

After speaking, Hyuga Mirai directly used the Body Flicker Technique to appear before Tsunade. He then feinted with two palms before striking Tsunade’s shoulder and thigh.

This sudden attack immediately destabilized Tsunade, preventing her from using the Body Flicker Technique to escape.

Hyuga Mirai then spread out the Eight Trigrams Field, while the meridians on his cheeks became even more pronounced.

Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Two Palms!

Four Palms!

Sixty-Four Palms!

In just a few seconds, Hyuga Mirai completed all sixty-four strikes, sealing every major pressure point on Tsunade’s body and preventing her Chakra from healing her injuries.

Although some pressure points had not been sealed because there was too much fat in the way, it did not matter. Hyuga Mirai’s Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms did not merely seal pressure points. Its terrifying force alone was enough to make Tsunade suffer badly.

It was like a strongman using a pointed hammer to strike Tsunade viciously sixty-four times. Only Tsunade’s constitution allowed her to survive; anyone else would probably have been beaten to death after forty or fifty palms.

"This ends here, Princess Tsunade. Every one of you is more stubborn than the last. I’m clearly making great efforts for peace in the Ninja World, yet you shout slogans about peace while risking your lives to hold me back."

Hyuga Mirai walked forward, preparing to take Tsunade back to the base. He felt that someone like Tsunade might still be useful to him. Besides, Ninja as talented as her were truly rare in the Ninja World. With Tsunade’s abilities, deeper research would bring even greater achievements.

It was a pity that war and hemophobia had wasted so much of her time. Otherwise, surpassing Orochimaru in human-body research should not have been difficult.

Just as Hyuga Mirai was about to pick Tsunade up, he suddenly frowned slightly. "A toad?"

Several hundred meters behind him, a toad was hopping this way. It was quite strange. The surrounding area was entirely forest, without even the slightest pond nearby, yet a toad had suddenly appeared.

"Jiraiya!?"

The toad suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a man crawled out from within. It was Jiraiya, whom Hyuga Mirai had injured before.

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

Jiraiya instantly used Ninjutsu. This Fire Release, formed from oil, was more powerful than ordinary Fire Release and harder to extinguish.

The fiercely burning fireball gave off terrifying heat as it shot toward Hyuga Mirai. Jiraiya’s goal was to force him back, but Hyuga Mirai naturally would not abandon Tsunade. With a casual sweep of his hand, he grabbed Tsunade and avoided Jiraiya’s Ninjutsu.

Summoning Technique!

Boom!

Seeing that he had failed to save Tsunade, Jiraiya spared no Chakra and directly summoned Mount Myoboku’s two great toads. Gamahiro and Gamaken could contend with even that Purple Snake if it appeared.

"Tch, what a troublesome fellow!"

Hyuga Mirai clicked his tongue and assessed the Chakra inside his body. Less than sixty percent remained, and it was also somewhat too late to gather Natural Energy now.

"I won’t let you take Tsunade away, Hyuga Mirai!"

Jiraiya spoke with a grave expression. He immediately drew two bright red markings on his face, then pressed his palms together.

Is he preparing to summon those two toads?

Hyuga Mirai calculated it in his mind. Without Sage Mode, his strength would only allow him to fight Sage Mode Jiraiya to a draw. Revealing his armor would not be worth it.

If he insisted on taking Tsunade away, Jiraiya would certainly entangle him. Then there was only one final method.

"Well, if there’s no chance today, there will be another time. But I’m a little unwilling to leave just like this."

Hyuga Mirai spoke slowly, then formed hand seals and gradually gathered some Natural Energy, refining a portion of Sage Chakra within his body.

After obtaining the cultivation method for Sage Mode, Orochimaru had still developed the Curse Mark. Since Hyuga Mirai had a better method for developing Sage Mode, he had looked down somewhat on Orochimaru’s inferior Curse Mark.

Although he had traded for it, he had rarely used it.

Today, however, he had the chance to use it. It was just that Hyuga Mirai had not made many improvements to the Curse Mark, so he could only use Orochimaru’s method.

Squelch!

Hyuga Mirai bit down on Tsunade’s neck, injecting Sage Chakra mixed with Yin Release Chakra into her body. He then used Sealing Technique to solidify the Curse Mark. Only after ensuring there could be no mistakes did he withdraw his hand.

"Ah!"

After being implanted with the Curse Mark, Tsunade instantly felt Natural Energy invading half her body and cried out in pain.

"Tsunade! Gamaken!" Jiraiya shouted anxiously, immediately ordering Gamaken to act.

"Understood, though I am rather clumsy."

But before the giant toad could make a move, Hyuga Mirai directly used the Body Flicker Technique to leave Tsunade’s side.

"Jiraiya, will you save her or come after me? Choose for yourself."

With that, Hyuga Mirai used the Body Flicker Technique to leave. Jiraiya felt furious upon hearing this, but after considering it, he still decided to save Tsunade first.

Second update. There should be another one soon!
