Uchiha Yakoto and Minato Namikaze exchanged glances, then simultaneously launched an attack on Tsunade.
"Iron Sand, Needle Shot!"
Uchiha Yakoto quickly formed hand signs, and a large amount of Iron Sand instantly condensed into sharp needles, shooting towards Tsunade like a torrential rain.
At the same time, Minato Namikaze used the Body Flicker Technique and rushed towards Tsunade's side.
Without much communication, their front-and-back attacks were incredibly coordinated.
Shizune also cast Ninjutsu from the side, assisting in the offense.
Tsunade's eyes narrowed, she clenched her fists, and slammed them down fiercely.
With a Super Strength Fist, the ground instantly shattered.
The massive shockwave blew away the Iron Sand and forced Minato Namikaze to retreat.
The rising dust obscured everyone's vision.
"Minato Namikaze! Watch out!" Hyuga Kana, who had activated her Byakugan, clearly saw Tsunade in the smoke.
As Minato Namikaze heard her words, an indescribable sense of danger assailed him.
Minato Namikaze quickly body-flickered away.
With a resounding crash, the spot where Minato Namikaze had been was directly pulverized by Tsunade's punch.
Just as Tsunade finished unleashing that punch, Hyuga Kana rushed forward, also delivering a Super Strength Fist.
With the thought of testing her Disciple's Cultivate results, Tsunade took the Super Strength Fist head-on.
The immense force caused Tsunade to slide back dozens of steps.
"Not bad, you have my style," Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
Before her words could even fade, Shizune had already seized the opportunity to spit out a Great Fireball, flying towards Tsunade.
Just as Tsunade raised her hands to form a Seal, Minato Namikaze also simultaneously began to form hand signs.
"Earth-Style Wall!"
"Water Dragon Bullet!"
The Earth-Style Wall first blocked the fireball, then exploded under the impact of the Water Dragon Bullet.
The exact same situation as when Uchiha Yakoto and Minato Namikaze sparred occurred.
"Lightning Fang!"
Uchiha Yakoto's Lightning Release attack left Tsunade with no escape.
With others sharing the damage upfront, Uchiha Yakoto had also mobilized enough Iron Sand.
At this moment, countless Iron Sand rolled across the training ground.
"Iron Sand Seal!"
Uchiha Yakoto roared, and a large amount of Iron Sand instantly rushed towards Tsunade.
The paralyzing effect of the Lightning Release was affecting Tsunade's Chakra.
Just as Tsunade was about to exert force to shake off the Iron Sand, several golden chains firmly wrapped around her.
"Adamantine Chains Seal!" Uzumaki Kushina, who had been silent, made her move.
Tsunade was entangled by the Adamantine Chains Seal, her movements instantly restricted, and the Iron Sand enveloped her in layers like a surging tide.
On the dense Iron Sand, Sealing Technique runes began to surge.
"Triple Seal!"
Under the control of Uchiha Yakoto and Uzumaki Kushina, the Iron Sand cube gradually became stable.
The moment the Iron Sand cube completely closed.
From within the Iron Sand, an unimaginable power erupted.
"You brats... do you really think a Seal of this level can trap me?"
Boom—!
The entire Iron Sand cube suddenly vibrated violently, and the Sealing runes began to crack at a visible rate.
Uzumaki Kushina's expression changed drastically.
"Oh no! Her Chakra..."
With a roar, the Iron Sand cube was forcefully shattered.
Amidst the flying Iron Sand, Tsunade was enveloped in a pale blue Chakra cloak, and her Yin Seal on her forehead was already released.
"Yin Seal!"
Uchiha Yakoto's pupils constricted: "Disperse quickly!" But it was too late—Tsunade's figure instantly vanished from her original spot.
"Bang!"
Minato Namikaze only had time to raise his kunai before he was sent flying by a tremendous force.
Hyuga Kana's Byakugan clearly saw that Tsunade's fist withdrew ninety percent of its force the moment it connected with Minato.
"Next!"
Tsunade's voice sounded behind Uzumaki Kushina.
Uzumaki Kushina turned abruptly, only to see Tsunade's finger lightly tap her abdomen.
Kushina immediately felt her entire body's Chakra flow halt, and she collapsed to the ground.
"It's your turn, little Yakoto."
No sooner had she spoken than Tsunade was already in front of Uchiha Yakoto, who was at his weakest after unleashing his powerful Ninjutsu.
Tsunade's attack aimed directly at his face. With no other option, Uchiha Yakoto looked up, forcefully activating his ocular power to cast a genjutsu on Tsunade.
Tsunade paused for only an instant, and in that moment, Uchiha Yakoto used the residual force of Tsunade's attack to deflect the power and fly backward.
However, even after deflecting most of the force, Uchiha Yakoto was not unscathed.
He was directly punched by Tsunade into a pile of Iron Sand.
In the center of the arena, Tsunade clapped the dust from her hands and released her Yin Seal state.
She looked around at her five disheveled students, a satisfied smile on her face.
"Not bad, to force me to use the Yin Seal, this generation of yours is the most outstanding in a decade."
Minato Namikaze rubbed his numb arm and said with a wry smile: "The result is that we were all wiped out..."
"But you made me use my true strength."
"Your teamwork was actually brilliant."
"Especially the final combined Seal, the concept was brilliant. Kushina's Adamantine Chains Seal timing was perfect, and Yakoto's Iron Sand control was also very precise."
Hyuga Kana mumbled softly: "But we still lost..."
"Idiot!" Tsunade suddenly slammed a fist on Kana's head.
"Your biggest gain today is experiencing firsthand what 'Kage-level' Chakra feels like!"
She stood with her hands on her hips, the sunlight outlining a dazzling silhouette behind her.
"Remember this feeling. When you reach this level, you will have graduated!"
On a distant tall tree, Jiraiya squatted on a branch, exclaiming in wonder: "Little Tsunade is still the same, so violent."
"Precisely because they are promising saplings, they need more tempering." Orochimaru stood beneath the tree, his golden slit pupils gleaming with an eerie light... Inside the barbecue restaurant.
"This Chunin Exams, people from all Five Great Nations will participate."
"At the same time, four of the Five Kage will come to Konoha together."
Tsunade said while vigorously devouring meat.
"You all must perform well this time, and show all your strength."
"The Old Man also said he would give a reward to the winner."
"If your performance is outstanding enough,"
"Then you might even get a chance to see Nidaime(2nd)-sama's sealing scroll."
Hearing the words "sealing scroll," Uchiha Yakoto slightly raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique must have been obtained during this Chunin Exams.
"sealing scroll? There must be many powerful Ninjutsu in there!"
Shizune's eyes lit up, her face full of anticipation.
"However, this Chunin Exams gathers many experts, so we must be fully prepared," Hyuga Kana clenched her fists, her expression resolute.
"Everyone, go back and Cultivate well, identify and address your weaknesses, and strive for good results in the exams."
In the following days, everyone dedicated themselves to intense training.
