Synthesis Ninja system

"Oh? You've learned the Rasengan too? But it seems like you're still a bit off," Tsunade said with a dismissive smile.

With Shiro ahead of him, no matter how talented someone else was, they could only play second fiddle.

Naruto Uzumaki let out a roar, Rasengan in hand, and charged at Tsunade at full speed.

Tsunade didn't dodge or show any intention of avoiding the attack.

Instead, she raised her hand high, waiting for the right moment to strike!

Her fingers struck Naruto's hand directly, causing the Rasengan to slam into the ground.

It created a massive crater!

Then, Tsunade lightly flicked her finger, hitting Naruto's forehead protector.

Naruto flew backward, his forehead protector falling to the ground.

"Now you know your limits, right?"

Naruto got up, unwilling to give up, but standing before Tsunade, he felt utterly powerless!

Seeing Naruto's frustration, Tsunade turned affectionately to Shiro and said, "Shiro, come over here! Let's spar!"

Shiro, who had been quietly watching from the sidelines, suddenly found himself called into the fray, confused by the situation.

But seeing the eagerness in Tsunade's eyes, it was clear he couldn't refuse.

*Ding!* A choice mission is triggered!

1. Defeat Tsunade! Reward: Rinnegan!

2. Beat Tsunade! Reward: Mangekyō Sharingan!

3. Fight Tsunade and remain undefeated! Reward: Additional synthesis attempts!

Shiro was stunned. The rewards were amazing!

But the first option was out of the question for Shiro, regardless of the reward. Tsunade had entrusted him with the First Hokage's relics, treating him like family.

Killing Tsunade? Shiro couldn't do it!

Defeating her was even harder.

A surprise attack could maybe kill her, but beating her outright with his current strength? The odds were nearly zero!

"I choose the third option!"

"Lady Tsunade, Shiro-kun is still injured. You shouldn't spar with him!" Shizune said anxiously.

Tsunade hesitated, her eyes on Shiro, leaving the final decision to him.

Jiraiya, with a smirk tinged with jealousy, wrapped his arm around Shiro's neck.

"You're something else, huh? In just a few days, you've charmed both master and student!"

"Jiraiya! You itching for a beating again?"

Jiraiya shuddered and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word!

Shiro scratched his head with an awkward smile and stepped forward.

Although Shiro was now as strong as a Jonin, his actual combat experience was still lacking compared to other ninjas.

With such a perfect sparring partner in front of him, how could he not take the opportunity?

"Lady Tsunade, how about you use just one finger against me?"

Tsunade instantly flared with anger.

"You brat! You took down Orochimaru with a devastating attack! Even though it was a sneak attack, that's not something a Genin could pull off! And now you want me to go easy on you?! Are you trying to embarrass me?!"

Shiro chuckled awkwardly.

"Alright, just go easy on me, okay?"

"Enough talk! Come at me!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Tsunade's stance became alert, while Shiro crossed his fingers and muttered softly.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

In an instant, countless Shiros charged at Tsunade!

"Shadow Clones again? Don't you know the risks of using that technique?"

Though Tsunade was speaking, her movements didn't slow down.

She stomped the ground with immense force, unleashing a powerful punch that shattered the ground, sending debris flying and dispelling the charging clones.

But before Tsunade could catch her breath, the ground beneath her feet started to soften into mud, pulling her down.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall Jutsu!"

Tsunade broke out in a cold sweat and quickly slammed her fist into the ground again!

Mud splattered everywhere as the force cleared a patch of solid ground, but it soon started turning into mud again.

Tsunade jumped out of the danger zone just in time, but couldn't find Shiro anywhere. All she could see were a dozen crows flying in the sky!

"Damn it! Where did that brat go?" Tsunade looked around frantically for Shiro, then suddenly shivered in realization, staring at the crows in fear.

"Wait! Why are there so many crows all of a sudden?!"

At that moment, the crows flew dangerously close to Tsunade, transforming into kunai and shuriken midair, bombarding her from all directions!

Tsunade had no time to dodge. She kicked a boulder into the air, grabbing it with both hands to block the incoming projectiles.

But the shuriken came from every angle, and although she blocked most of them, a few still managed to cut through her clothing.

Just then, a figure sped toward Tsunade, holding a faintly glowing blue sphere.

"Is Shadow Clones and Rasengan standard for Konoha now? When did Genin start mastering such dangerous techniques? But you're too slow!"

Tsunade smiled confidently and reached out to grab Shiro.

If she hadn't gone for a grab and instead punched him, Shiro would be in serious trouble.

Although Shiro knew Tsunade was holding back, he wasn't about to let this chance slip by.

"Flying Thunder Break Technique!"

Just as Tsunade was about to grab him, a flash of yellow light enveloped Shiro, and he vanished.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?!"

Jiraiya's body trembled. He knew that jutsu all too well! His student, Minato Namikaze, had earned the title of Yellow Flash using that technique!

Minato had spent years mastering it with his immense talent.

Yet Shiro, only twelve years old, had already learned it. Such terrifying talent could only be compared to a god!

"Not bad, but your landing point is a bit off."

Tsunade's voice had barely faded when she spun around, reaching for Shiro with a cold, expressionless hand.

Shiro's pupils shrank.

In an instant, Shiro calculated that Tsunade's speed and strength far surpassed his own.

The most critical factor: Tsunade's arm was longer than his!

The chances of landing his attack were less than 10%.

Shiro immediately retreated, quickly putting distance between them.

"How about we call it a day?"

"Yeah, sure."

Tsunade shrugged indifferently.

It wasn't that Tsunade thought she'd lose, but rather, she was afraid she might accidentally hurt Shiro if she didn't hold back.

If her opponent were Jiraiya, Tsunade wouldn't have stopped until he begged for mercy!

"You over there! Do you see the gap between the two of them?"

Naruto hung his head low, looking even more dejected.

"I can't compare to Shiro-kun..."
