Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

"Oh, you can still stand up after being hit by my punch. I thought one of you would be disabled directly. That steel rod? And the earth escape technique and hardening technique? I see. Boy, you are very careful." Tsunade's eyes were more approving. She originally thought that he was a dull boy who might be good at hitting and rushing, but his fighting skills should be very rough. Ichiro's initial attack was also in line with her judgment, but now it seems that he is rough but delicate, very good.

Although the punch just now made Ichiro feel a little painful, fortunately he was not seriously injured and his fighting ability was still there. Ichiro knew that he had to change his strategy. As usual, he relied on strength to attack and bully those who were weaker than him. This fighting style was no longer applicable now because the opponent was stronger than him. In Fengjian's words, when you are not as strong as others, you have to use technology.

Ichiro stepped forward again with the stick, but he did not use the instant body movement technique, but trotted closer. The same move, the steel stick chopped down.

"Have you learned your lesson? Isn't this still the same old trick?" Tsunade was curious about how Ichiro would change his tactics, but the result was still the same. Just when she was about to grab the steel rod, Ichiro's steel rod tactics changed, from slashing down to retracting, so that Tsunade's hand that was stretched out to grab the steel rod was empty. And in an instant, after the steel rod was retracted, it stabbed out again.

It is said that the stick can sweep a large area, but in fact, the most powerful moves in stick techniques are actually point and poke, because these two fighting methods rely on concentrating strength on one point and are extremely powerful.

"Hey, finally a change of tactics?" Tsunade didn't care. In his eyes, such a change of tactics was just like a child playing house. There was no threat at all. His other hand was across his chest, locking the head of the stick. "Boy, I still got it." This was bullying, relying purely on strength to bully Ichiro.

Ichiro's response was simple. He twisted the steel stick in his hand, and the power of both hands was transmitted to the stick head. Under normal circumstances, the strength of one hand could not match the strength of both hands. The opponent should not be able to use the stick head with twisting force. But who is Tsunade? Who in the entire Naruto world dares to say that he is stronger than Tsunade? The steel stick was held in Tsunade's hand without moving, and one hand suppressed the strength of Ichiro's two hands.

Ichiro's eyes narrowed, and he once again exerted his strength in both hands. He twisted hard, trying to seize control of the steel rod.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Then take another punch from me." Tsunade was no longer impatient to play wrestling games with Ichiro and wanted to get rid of him.

Facing Tsunade's upcoming punch, Ichiro did not flinch, nor did he abandon his stick and retreat. Instead, he pulled the stick, activated the instant body technique on his feet, and stepped back violently, creating space. He took the steel stick and dodged the attack range of the strange punch.

Tsunade was surprised and looked at her left hand. What she was holding in her left hand was only a columnar stone shell. She then looked at Ichiro's steel rod which was obviously thinner, and finally understood what was going on.

"Good boy, this is specially to prevent being caught by the steel rod. Use earth escape technique to cover the steel rod with a layer. When necessary, you can just shed your shell, right? It's a good idea." Tsunade was attracted by Ichiro's little tricks again. She stood with her hands on her hips again and decided to play for a while to see what tricks this silly boy who looked naive could play.

"Ichiro, don't forget the stick techniques and earth escape techniques you learned. Close combat is not just a contest of strength. Think about our past competitions." Ichiro's earphones picked up Kazama's voice. Kazama had left the scene without anyone noticing, and after hiding himself, he happened to see Ichiro's situation and couldn't help but remind Ichiro.

"I understand." Ichiro took a deep breath and stepped forward again, giving up even jogging, and went straight to a distance where he could hit Tsunade with his stick skills, but Tsunade could not hit him. This distance was very delicate.

A familiar move appeared in Ichiro's hand, "bow-step chopping stick", aimed at Tsunade's head. Compared with the chopping stick aimed at the body just now, the charging action of this move was much smaller, as if it was a sudden chopping of the steel stick, and Tsunade had no intention of intercepting it. She tilted her head to avoid the stick head, but Ichiro changed his moves very quickly, as if his body was used to it, and the stick head turned into a lifting stick before it hit her head. Then there were various chopping, swinging, poking, lifting, hanging, collapsing, tapping, sweeping, piercing, blocking, picking, blocking, supporting, clouding, lifting and other stick moves, combined with body movements, surrounding Tsunade and hitting all parts of her body like raindrops.

It didn't have the powerful, direct moves at the beginning, but a skillful stick method that didn't seek a fatal blow, but was mainly a grappling change, which annoyed Tsunade. If she didn't defend, how painful it would be to be hit by the steel stick? In defense, Tsunade was also a flesh and blood body, and her arms had collided with the steel stick so many times. If it weren't for the sleeves covering it, the bruises on her arms would be clearly visible. It's not that she didn't want to grab Ichiro's steel stick like she did at the beginning, but after Ichiro changed his fighting style, the stick method changed too much, and it was no longer direct, so she couldn't grab it at all. Instead, because she stretched out her hand, she would become Ichiro's target.

Tsunade didn't want to play anymore. Ichiro's strength combined with the steel stick was a bit cheating in close combat, just like her own super-strong punch, it was a bullying style of fighting.

Tsunade suddenly retreated a distance and shouted, "Super Strength Fist". She raised one hand, clenched her fist and hammered the ground. In an instant, the powerful super strength was transmitted to the ground, lifting the ground in front of Tsunade, turning it into a disaster scene like a ruin, and it was still extending.

Ichiro had to step back, otherwise he would be caught up in a scene that was like an earthquake, and then be squeezed and crushed among all kinds of stones and ruins like in a blender.

"Earth escape. Earth Dragon Bullet." Ichiro was only able to close combat, and he could not do anything to the Fifth Hokage. He simply gave up close combat, as he was not only good at physical techniques, he was also very proficient in earth escape. Ichiro saw a huge bridle half a person's height protruding from his side, opening its ferocious mouth and spitting out earth attribute chakra balls one after another. The chakra balls flew in the air and gradually turned into huge prismatic stone bullets with corners and zeros, smashing towards Tsunade's position.

Tsunade retreated instantly. Earth Dragon Bomb was a group attack ninjutsu. Those stone bullets were fired in groups and hit the ground, turning the ground into a honeycomb surface.

Seeing the distance getting farther and farther, Tsunade's face became serious. She was not good at long-range ninjutsu. The tactic of keeping a distance seemed to have avoided Ichiro's close combat, but it also put herself in a very embarrassing situation. He could no longer attack Ichiro.

Seeing the second wave of stone bullets coming, Tsunade punched the ground, lifted up the ground, and held it above her head. Facing such a large and thick shield, the flying stone bullets had no way to stop them. The mechanism smashed with a bang, but Tsunade was safe and sound, and moved forward steadily.

Suddenly, Tsunade felt something was wrong. A vague murderous aura was staring at him, and then there was a slight chill on the back of his neck. Tsunade had rich battlefield experience and knew that someone who was good at assassination was approaching her. But she was holding a huge stone slab in her hand and had no time to make too many moves.

Then, a long, straight sword pierced through Tsunade's back and directly pierced through her chest.

Tsunade looked at the sword blade in front of her chest with a smile on her face. Then, with a "bang", she turned into a cloud of smoke. It turned out to be a shadow clone.

Nobuko approached silently and finally found an assassination opportunity, but it turned out to be a shadow clone. When did the shadow clone appear? Nobuko couldn't remember, but the situation she faced was extremely dangerous.
