Taking a deep breath, Tsunade suddenly stopped, and the ground seemed to shake.
Immediately afterwards, she lowered her head slightly and stood quietly one meter away from Lei Luo without saying a word. Her aura seemed to be slowly gathering, causing the surrounding crowd of onlookers to slowly quiet down.
After a few seconds, Tsunade suddenly raised her head, looked directly at Lei Luo, and her waist was straight. She suddenly raised her hand, pointed her index finger at Lei Luo, and said loudly:
"Lei Luo! I want to challenge you!"
As the words exploded, Tsunade's momentum also burst out instantly.
For a moment, all the pedestrians within a hundred meters radius, including some ninjas running on the roof, stopped and turned their eyes in the direction of Lei Luo and Tsunade.
Beside Lei Luo, Nonoyu, who was about to leave, noticed the movement behind him, quickly turned around, looked at Tsunade with vigilant eyes, and subconsciously put his hand on the ninja bag.
He casually raised his hand to signal Nonoyu to calm down. Lei Luo glanced at Tsunade in a funny way. Then, he didn't say whether he agreed to fight or not, and just asked:
"Fight here?"
Perhaps he didn't expect Lei Luo to be so decisive. He started to inquire about the location of the battle without even saying a word. Tsunade was obviously stunned for a moment.
After reacting, Tsunade gritted her teeth, blushed unconsciously, and forced herself to say: "Of course it's not here! Let's go to the training ground to fight!"
Her momentum was instantly frustrated, and Tsunade felt depressed. She turned around without saying a word and walked quickly forward in a straight line. The pedestrians around her saw this and quickly gave way.
Judging from the direction Tsunade is heading, her goal should be the training ground closest to here.
Lei Luo spread his hands indifferently, and after saying "Go and do your work first" to Nonoyu, he quickly followed Tsunade's pace and landed a few meters behind her.
At this moment, Jiraiya quietly approached Lei Luo. He first pretended to be casual, glanced at Tsunade's back in front of him, and then whispered into Lei Luo's ear:
"Lei Luo, you also know Tsunade's temper. I really can't stop her, so..."
"Please wait a moment...you must be merciful."
Jiraiya's movements were very cautious, as if he was very afraid that his words would be heard by Tsunade. Lei Luo glanced at this guy without any trace, and said calmly:
"Jiraiya, I haven't seen you for so long, why are you still acting like an old woman?"
"Tsunade is older than me. Isn't it inappropriate for you to treat her like a child?"
Hearing Lei Luo's two slightly sarcastic questions, Jiraiya didn't get angry, he just sighed with a sad look on his face:
"In order to deal with you, Tsunade has been practicing the teleportation technique for more than a year, and she also prepared some trump cards that even I don't know about."
"As soon as we returned to the village yesterday, she shouted that she wanted to seek revenge from you. She seemed very confident."
"But that's why I'm even more worried."
As he said that, Jiraiya looked at Lei Luo and suddenly smiled bitterly: "After all, if the opponent is you, Tsunade may still have no hope of winning this time."
"Being able to defeat the Mizukage...your current strength should be about the same as Sarutobi-sensei, right?"
Jiraiya seemed to be a sensible person, and in his words, he made no secret of his pessimistic view of this challenge and the consequences that Tsunade might face.
If we could sum up Jiraiya's tangled expression at this moment, it would probably be: 70% worried, 20% helpless, and 10% incomprehensible.
What Jiraiya doesn't understand is:
Tsunade clearly knew how strong Lei Luo was, and she also knew that she could not defeat the opponent at all, and the hope of winning was almost non-existent.
Besides, we are all companions in the same village, and there is no deep hatred between each other. It is just a small friction. What should we not let go of?
Why... why do you have to launch this... challenge that is almost certain to fail?
Jiraiya and Tsunade have already learned about Lei Luo's temper. The other party is by no means a soft-hearted person. In a real fight, the possibility of betrayal is extremely low.
In the end, Tsunade not only humiliated herself, but also possibly seriously injured herself. From Jiraiya's point of view, this was totally not worth it.
As if he instantly understood the meaning in Jiraiya's expression, Lei Luo smiled slightly and said rather disapprovingly:
"The courage to not give up fighting because of the strength of the opponent, and not to give up the idea of fighting because of one's own weakness. The will shown by Tsunade, to be honest, surprised me."
"I really want to see how much preparation she has made to deal with me."
"I'm looking forward to this battle, so Jiraiya..."
After a pause, Lei Luo turned his head, glanced at Jiraiya, and said slowly: "Don't continue to disturb the scenery here and insult Tsunade's will."
Lei Luo said this very hastily and did not save any face for Jiraiya. The fundamental reason why he said such words was because he was too upset by Jiraiya.
It's just a simple challenge, how come there are so many twists and turns?
Jiraiya opened his mouth and asked him to be merciful. Not only was Jiraiya trying to undermine Tsunade, but he was treating Tsunade's efforts of more than a year as nothing, and he was also treating Lei Luo as nothing.
Sparring partner? Nanny?
Jiraiya is too self-righteous.
Lei Luo walked a few steps quickly and got away from Jiraiya, ignoring the latter's slightly dull eyes.
'Tsunade, I hope you can bring me more surprises.'
Focusing his eyes on Tsunade's heroic back in front of him, Lei Luo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing an interested smile, and clenched his palms into fists, making a slight burst of air.
Just after transplanting Hashirama's cells, he could face a powerful opponent in the blink of an eye. This was simply...
So lucky.
Here, as Lei Luo, Tsunade, Jiraiya and others rushed to the training ground, many Konoha villagers who witnessed the two sides openly fighting in public quickly spread the news.
However, within a short time, everyone knew about the upcoming battle between Lei Luo and Tsunade.
"Tsunade wants to challenge Jueying? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Uchiha Fugaku frowned and looked at the tribe next to him with excitement on his face, telling him about this matter.
"It's absolutely true, young patriarch!" As he said this, the young Uchiha tribesman swallowed unconsciously, and then asked with a dry mouth:
"Should we go over and take a look?"
"Go, why don't you go?" He asked calmly, Uchiha Fugaku said no more and was ready to leave.
But before leaving, he first glanced at the pair of Hyuga brothers Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi who were also whispering something not far opposite him.
Then, pretending to glare at the pair of Hyuga brothers with disgust, Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand to form a seal, used the teleportation technique, and left the place with a whoosh.
On the side, Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Hizashi seemed to ignore Uchiha Fugaku's meaning at all, and just talked quickly to themselves:
"Brother, should we go over and have a look too?"
"Let's go and have a look."
Hinata Hizashi seemed to suddenly think of something, he smiled and said:
"I really didn't expect that there have been so many good shows in the village in the past two days. It's a pity that we only came back last night and missed the one during the day yesterday."
Hinata Hizu shook his head and sighed with emotion: "It's been such a troubled year..."
"I don't know... when will the rebellious member of our clan be able to subdue him."
Hearing Hinata Hizashi suddenly mention this, Hinata Hizashi was silent for a while. Thinking of the impression that the separated elder usually brought to him, he felt really entangled in his heart. He had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't know what to think.
