Natsumi Uzumaki: A Heart Unchained

Chapter 29

The cold air of the Forest of Death was blowing roughly as the tension was so high that the inhabitants of forest of death scampered off to hide and avoid the fight.

Tsunade the legendary Sannin and Hokage stood facing a mysterious girl who was shrouded in an aura of raw power. 

Without warning, the girl performed a series of intricate hand seals as her movements were fluid and precise. 

Water Release: Aqua Tail!" The mysterious girl declared as she summoned a massive swirling tail of water that arced through the air toward Tsunade.

With instincts honed through years of battle, Tsunade leaped high into the air and began channeling her superhuman strength into a devastating punch aimed directly at the girl as the force behind her strike created a gust of wind that sent leaves scattering in all directions. 

But to Tsunade's astonishment the mysterious girl caught her fist mid-air as a shockwave erupted from the impact that uprooted nearby trees and sent debris flying.

Impressive," Tsunade muttered her eyes were narrowed in surprise.

In a swift counter the girl kicked Tsunade squarely in the face which forced her to stumble back.

Lightning Release: Lightning Claw!" The mysterious girl shouted as unleashed a slashing arc of electricity that caught Tsunade across the face as the sharp pain made Tsunade hiss.

Shit, that's going to leave a mark in the morning" Tsunade thought as she gripped the left side of her face which is where the attack hit her!

What's wrong? Is that the power of the legendary slug princess or has years of moaning for you dead boyfriend made your weak?" the girl taunted as a smirk formed on her lips.

Shut up or else I'll kill you!" Tsunade shouted in anger.

You'll need more than petty anger and threats if you want to beat me," The mysterious girl replied as flicked her hair back defiantly.

With a roar, Tsunade activated her Yin Seal: Release as the air around her shimmering with power and the energy radiated from Tsunade revitalize her strength and enhancing her chakra.

You're strong but I'm not backing down!" Tsunade declared.

But just as Tsunade prepared for her next move she saw the mysterious girl begin to change her stance and began gathering chakra in her hands with a familiar intensity as Tsunade's eyes widened in shock as realization struck her. 

No way..." Tsunade said in fear

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!" The mysterious girl shouted as her voice was fierce as she launched the spiraling projectile of wind and chakra directly at Tsunade.
