The first thing Tsunade saw was the familiar large crater from yesterday, then the bruised and battered Hinata... Immediately after, she noticed numerous shallow pits beneath Hinata's feet, at least several hundred of them.
"Hey, hey, hey, intruding on someone else's training area isn't very polite, is it?!"
"Tsunade Senju..." A very unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, causing Tsunade's expression to subtly change. She instantly focused her gaze in the direction of the voice. She saw a strange man standing not far away. He was only a few tens of meters from her... and she only started to notice his presence when he spoke! What exactly was going on? With her perception as Tsunade Senju, once one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, it was impossible for her not to have noticed him earlier! And that man actually seemed to recognize her and spoke her name. However, this question had just arisen when Tsunade dismissed it. After all, she was one of Konoha's Sannin; her reputation was very widespread. So it wasn't surprising that someone might recognize her.
Tsunade's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She scrutinized Liu Chen up and down, cautiously and alertly. She swore she had never met this person before. Yet, the other party radiated an extremely dangerous aura! This meant the man speaking was not an ordinary person. So why wasn't he wearing a ninja headband?! Even a rogue ninja from any village would usually wear a ninja headband! But there was nothing on Liu Chen's forehead. He wasn't wearing any ninja headband.
"Who are you? You look unfamiliar. You're not from Konoha Village, are you?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask, frowning. Liu Chen nodded: "Me? Indeed, I'm not from your Konoha Village." At this moment, Liu Chen's eyes also held a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected the newcomer to be Tsunade! The great princess of the Senju clan. One of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha! Was Tsunade wandering around the Land of Fire at this time? Liu Chen wasn't entirely clear on this, as he didn't remember many details from the original manga. And even if Tsunade was wandering through the Land of Fire, it was none of his business.
However, this woman had intruded here and ignored his warning. Now, that was Liu Chen's business. He only wanted to teach Hinata the Marine Six Powers. He didn't want them to spread. He couldn't let anyone else see them. Including the so-called Tsunade.
"Forget it... Anyway, it's already noon. Hinata, stop your Taijutsu training for now. You still need to eat lunch. Taijutsu training requires a very high amount of food." Liu Chen ignored the skeptical Tsunade and spoke to Hinata. Little Hinata, already covered in scrapes and bruises, staggered to her feet. She nodded and smiled, "Alright, Guardian Spirit Brother, I am a bit hungry, coincidentally..."
"Wait... wait, wait, wait... Akemashite Omedetou (Happy New Year/Hold on a minute)! You're from the Hyuga clan?!" Tsunade suddenly noticed Hinata's Byakugan eyes and asked in surprise. Hinata paused, then turned to look at Tsunade, this rather beautiful "uninvited guest," but she still nodded and replied, "Hello, Auntie. I am a member of the Hyuga clan."
Tsunade: "..." Auntie... Auntie?! Am I... am I... that old?! After considering her current actual age. Although she didn't really want to admit it, Tsunade also had to concede. She was already almost fifty years old. But calling someone "Auntie" to their face like this was extremely rude! After grumbling to herself, Tsunade frowned and warned, "I just heard that man say you're training Taijutsu?! Your Chakra is so scarce, and you're a girl. Forcibly training Taijutsu, if done improperly, will cause great harm to your body." Upon learning Hinata was from the Hyuga clan, Tsunade's wariness subsided considerably. Although that man didn't seem to be from Konoha, at least for now... he didn't seem to be Konoha's enemy. Otherwise, if he knew her identity as Tsunade Senju, why wouldn't he attack? Why wouldn't he flee? He shouldn't be an enemy.
"And your battered appearance, it's from Taijutsu training, right? Taijutsu training needs to be done in moderation, otherwise it will leave huge hidden dangers in your body. And your feet... they look like they might have hairline fractures." Tsunade was arguably the most famous medical ninja in the entire human world. She was also the medical ninja with the most superb medical techniques. She only needed a dozen seconds of observation... to discern Hinata's current injuries. Of course, it was also fortunate that Hinata only had some bruises and swelling, with no blood flowing. Otherwise, with Tsunade's hemophobia... that would be a different kind of trouble.
"Just small hairline fractures in the legs. A meal will make them recover." Liu Chen's faint voice echoed beside Tsunade. Tsunade's beautiful eyes constricted abruptly... She turned her head in disbelief to look at Liu Chen. So fast... he instantly appeared less than five meters from me without me even realizing it. This rather young-looking man... what terrifying speed! And when he moved, he was almost completely silent! This incredibly terrifying speed reminded her of a brilliant genius Konoha once had. The Fourth Hokage, who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique!! Unfortunately, that genius had already sacrificed himself.
Finally suppressing the shock in her heart, she recalled what Liu Chen had just said. Tsunade frowned and retorted, "For a child, hairline fractures are not minor injuries. Even for an adult, it's not a minor injury." "It requires at least a week of care to fully heal. And in this world, what kind of medical technique can heal something by just eating a meal?!" "You're that Hyuga girl's teacher, aren't you? You'll wear her out if you train her like this!" Liu Chen lifted an eyelid: "If she doesn't train like this, her talent will only be wasted." "You... you brat, I am one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. Do you think I know less than you?!" "Old hag... you're so annoying. Can you move aside?" "Old... old hag?!"
