Naruto: I Survived Two Wars Without You, System!

Boom!

Tsunade slammed her foot into the ground.

Cracks spread rapidly across the earth toward Hiruzen Sarutobi's position!

[Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!]

While quickly retreating, Hiruzen simultaneously formed hand seals with both hands.

A massive earthen dragon erupted from underground, blocking the spreading fissures while its ferocious head spat out a barrage of stone projectiles at Tsunade!

Its body followed suit, launching toward Tsunade with gaping jaws!

With only the slightest shift of her body, Tsunade narrowly dodged the dense hail of stones.

Each fist-sized rock, carrying tremendous force, blew apart the earth behind her, sending grass flying everywhere.

Facing the incoming monstrous dragon head,

Tsunade didn't retreat—she advanced instead, taking one step forward. Swinging her arm, that delicate, jade-like palm struck straight into the earth dragon, shattering it into countless fragments flying through the air.

Poom!

Suddenly pushing off with both feet, Tsunade's form moved so fast it left trails behind.

Before Hiruzen even finished forming his next seal, she had already appeared beside him!

Boom!

Crossing his arms to block Tsunade's devastating punch, Hiruzen's pupils shrank as he was sent flying backward like a cannonball under that inhuman strength!

Feeling his nearly broken arm bones from the impact, Hiruzen gritted his teeth against the searing pain, flipped midair, and stabilized himself.

His hands formed seals again, immediately activating the A-ranked Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!

"Kai!"

Hardly had the illusion begun forming than Tsunade instantly countered it with a single-handed seal, forcefully surging chakra through her system to break free from the illusionary vision!

Compared to all the genjutsu Kei Yamanaka had placed on her before—

This once-troublesome Bringer-of-Darkness Technique now felt like nothing more than a simple trick easily dispelled!

Watching Tsunade closing in rapidly,

Hiruzen dared not face her attack head-on again. He bit his thumb and executed the Summoning Jutsu, calling forth his trusted companion, Enma.

"Tsunade! Sensei's getting serious now!"

[Sage Art: Yin Seal: Sage Mode! Activate!]

Tsunade let out a low shout while charging at Hiruzen. The Yin Seal on her forehead flared brilliantly with radiant light.

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Kei Yamanaka and Kushina within the Genjutsu Space, the Sage Art Yin Seal had been repeatedly refined and improved.

In the next instant,

that brilliant white glow cascaded across her entire body, flowing and surging through her meridians as sage chakra surged powerfully.

Two chakra horns sprouted from either side of her forehead, while four spectral white dragons coiled and danced around her form.

Tsunade's speed exploded upward—in the blink of an eye, she stood right beside Hiruzen again!

Rumble rumble~

On the distant observation platform,

many ninja from prominent clans wore grim expressions. Some elite Jonin couldn't help but gasp aloud.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the Third Hokage, was already among the most formidable warriors in the ninja world. His mastery of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu was nearly flawless. He could effortlessly weave high-level techniques across different elemental natures, and his combination jutsu were especially devastating!

If they faced him instead, they probably wouldn't survive three moves!

Yet despite Hiruzen's strength—

Tsunade was even stronger!

She casually batted away his jutsu, and with a single stomp, shattered complex techniques into nothingness!

Even the golden staff transformed from Enma, famed for its legendary unbreakable body, was now howling in pain!

If it weren't for the Third's remarkably sturdy body, he would have been killed by Tsunade long ago.

"That's impossible… How could this be…"

Koharu Utatane muttered, staring blankly at the battle unfolding in the center of the arena, her expression dazed, her eyes unfocused.

In her mind, her former teammate—who had once seemed unbeatable—was now being beaten around like a punching bag, flying all over the place.

Could this really not be some kind of Genjutsu?

"Hiruzen…"

Homura Mitokado wore a bitter frown as he watched Hiruzen Sarutobi—bloodied and defeated like a stray dog—lower his head in resignation after vomiting multiple times.

Showing restraint? Sentimentality and pity—those are so typically Senju of you."

Madara Uchiha stood with arms crossed, expression cold, yet his Rinnegan eyes remained fixed on the battlefield.

Privately stunned by the power Tsunade had displayed.

Five percent! Hashirama Senju's granddaughter-in-law, Tsunade, probably hadn't even used five percent of her strength—

Yet such strength had been enough to shatter Susanoo's defenses!

The strongest kunoichi in the ninja world?

"Hahaha~ After all, she *is* Tsunade's teacher! It's just a spar—no need to take it too seriously! Hahaha~"

Hashirama Senju patted Madara Uchiha's shoulder but got an immediate brush-off laced with disdain.

"How could a madman from the Uchiha ever understand the Fire Shadow's mercy and magnanimity?"

Tobirama Senju raised his chin slightly, clearly satisfied with Tsunade's strength and her act of showing mercy.

After all, that was Tsunade's teacher, one of his pupils.

Maybe the monkey hadn't done such a great job over the years, causing unrest and disloyalty throughout the village, but a Hokage still deserved a dignified exit.

Besides, Sage Transformation was a special constitution unique to his older brother!

Tsunade's potential might not be any less than Hashirama's!

Didn't he research Kinjutsu precisely because the stronger one became, the more evident it was that talent and chakra were fundamental?

With such potential, Tsunade's future achievements could surpass even his own!

Hearing these words full of bias and antagonism, Madara Uchiha immediately rose up. The purple Rinnegan eyes in his lifeless earth form glared fiercely at Tobirama Senju beside him.

His entire body crackled with chaotic chakra—he was clearly ready to fight.

_Paa!_

Hashirama Senju smacked Tobirama Senju right on the back of his head, completely shattering the latter's lifeless earth body into pieces.

He quickly stepped forward to hold Madara back.

Smiling apologetically, Hashirama said:

"My younger brother doesn't know any better—I'll definitely discipline him properly. There won't be a next time! Don't get angry, Madara. Just do me—and, uh—my son-in-law a favor."

"…Hmph!"

Madara looked at Tobirama's head slowly reforming.

He shot Kei Yamanaka a cold glare before noticing the latter forming a one-handed seal and activating Sage Art: Wood Release to silence Tobirama's foul mouth. A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at Madara's lips as he settled back into his seat.

Even though he'd been killed by that guy Kei Yamanaka, how cleanly and decisively his opponent had killed Black Zetsu still left him quite satisfied!

He should at least show some respect now.

"Cough… cough…"

Kushina tightly gripped her boyfriend's left hand, stood by his side, her face flushed, head bowed, clearly trying hard not to laugh.

Kei Yamanaka couldn't hide his grin either, barely managing to keep a straight face.

It wasn't the confrontation between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha that was amusing—it was the Nine-Tails going all out with the filthiest insults imaginable. Truly impossible not to laugh.

From the moment it saw Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju appear, the Nine-Tails hadn't stopped cursing for even a second!

It was cursing so much it felt like its mouth and ass had switched places, spewing an endless stream of curses and filth!

High atop the tall observation platform, all the clan leaders and department heads heard every word clearly—but none dared to glance upward or even react to what they'd just heard, each feigning complete deafness.

That was scary. Terrifyingly so!

Just moments ago, when Madara Uchiha released his overwhelming chakra presence, they couldn't even lift a hand. They could only sit stiffly in place, sweat pouring down their faces.

On the observation deck, Nara Shikaku kept his face blank, but inwardly, he was delighted by how things were unfolding.

Truth be told, he had several ways to discreetly push the Third aside.

Forcing the Third out temporarily through intimidation and persuasion—unifying Konoha internally was manageable. But long-term unity would require undeniable military strength as a deterrent.

Tsunade, just as he'd predicted, showing restraint sent a strong message to these Konoha ninja.

Nobody wants a cold, ruthless leader.

Having immense power yet still valuing bonds—that was far more advantageous than harmful for the ninja clans.

And the dramatic appearances from Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha further solidified Tsunade's image as kind-hearted and compassionate in the eyes of the gathered ninja!

Thanks a ton, Madara-dono, Hashirama-dono, and Tobirama-dono, for playing along!
