[Uchiha Izuna @Uchiha Madara:
Ni-san! I'll follow your lead!
Whover you bet on, I'll bet on too!]
[Uchiha Madara:
As expected of my beloved otōto!
Between two reward choices, always pick the better one!
Let's both bet on i Terumi to win!]
[Uchiha Izuna:
Understood, ni-san!]
[Second Hokage Tobirama Senju @Uchiha Izuna:
You're a fool.
What's the point of a better reward if you can't even win it?]
[Orochimaru @Tsunade:
Tsunade, have you given more thought to our cooperation?
Give an answer.]
[Tsunade:
Can't you see I'm about to have a match?
Let's talk about it afterward.]
[Orochimaru @Tsunade:
Since I want to work with you, I should logically support you.
But to show you the benefits of our partnership,
I'm going to support i Terumi instead.]
[Tsunade:
…What are you implying?]
[Orochimaru:
You'll understand once the match is over.
I'm sure you won't refuse again.]
Orochimaru knew very well:
If i Terumi was confident enough to challenge Tsunade again,
she must have fully mastered the power of the Ox Talisman.
As more bets rolled in,
the support percentages beca clear.
[Tsunade @"Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama":
Hey, Immature Brat! See that?
89% of people are backing !
Looks like your defeat is practically guaranteed!]
["Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama":
Hah! Only 11% support ,
but they're the real smart ones—
because I'm definitely going to win!
You better get ready to change your na to "Pretending-To-Be-Young Old Woman"! Hahaha!]
Soon, the three-minute countdown ended.
The screen shifted from Tsunade's POV to the familiar match room.
Two beams of golden light shot out from the scroll—
One enveloped i Terumi in the Mizukage's office,
and the other enveloped Tsunade, who was in an inn near a casino.
Both won vanished from their original locations
and reappeared in the match arena.
Match Room:
Tsunade:
"Immature brat! You're dood!"
i Terumi:
"Old hag! Don't celebrate too soon—I'm winning this one."
Tsunade:
"Fine then! No more talk—let's start!"
She sat at her previous position.
i sat directly across from her.
Tsunade placed her right hand on the table—
and extended just her pinky finger.
"I'm ready. Let's go!"
i activated the Ox Talisman's power.
i Terumi:
"I'm ready too. Let's begin!"
"Just like last ti, I'll end this instantly!"
Tsunade grunted as she applied force.
But to her shock—
She couldn't move i's hand at all.
i's strength was clearly superior in this mont.
i:
"What's wrong, old hag?
Didn't you say you'd end this instantly?
Co on, hurry up!"
Tsunade scoffed—
And used her full strength.
Still—no effect.
Gaining confidence, i even switched to using her pinky finger.
i:
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance!
If you still can't beat now,
then I'm going all in!"
Inwardly, i was ecstatic.
This… this is what it feels like to be this strong!
Incredible! This Ox Talisman is amazing!
Muwahahahaha!
Tsunade's expression darkened.
She absolutely did not want to lose.
So—
She activated her Strength of a Hundred Seal.
And yet—
Still no movent.
At last, Tsunade realized why i was so confident about demanding a rematch.
And she now fully understood what Orochimaru ant by his cryptic ssage.
Everyone who knew Tsunade was utterly stunned.
i:
"Looks like you're done.
Then let end this!"
i poured in her strength—
BOOM!
Tsunade lost.
Both won were instantly returned to their original locations.
Shortly after, the entire group chat was spamd with system announcents.
[Tsunade lost the match.
Her userna has been changed to "Pretending-To-Be-Young Old Woman."]
Then—
A flood of reward notifications hit the chat:
[Uchiha Izuna successfully bet on the winner and received a Super Deluxe Ninjutsu Gift Pack.]
[Chōjūrō received a Super Deluxe Gift Pack.]
[Mist Ninja #1 received a Super Deluxe Gift Pack.]
[Mist Villager #1 received a Super Deluxe Gift Pack.]
…and so on.
Chat Group:
Everyone exploded.
[Fourth Raikage A:
No way!
Tsunade's raw strength is ridiculous—
even I'm no match for her!
And she actually lost?!]
[Jiraiya:
Never thought I'd see the day
Tsunade lost in a contest of strength…]
[First Hokage Hashirama Senju:
Good heavens!
Is that Ox Talisman really that strong?!]
[Uchiha Izuna @Uchiha Madara:
Ni-san! Ni-san!]
[Uchiha Madara:
What is it, otōto?]
[Uchiha Izuna:
We agreed to pick the better reward together!
Why didn't you get a reward?!]
[Uchiha Madara:
cough cough
I did, you just missed it!]
["Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama" @"Pretending-To-Be-Young Old Woman":
Hey!
Why hasn't my nickna changed back yet?!
Didn't I win?!]
[Chōjūrō:
Mizukage-sama,
your bet with Tsunade only stated that she would change her na if she lost.
It said nothing about reverting yours.]
["Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama":
Aaaahhh! No fair!]
["Pretending-To-Be-Young Old Woman" @"Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama":
Now we're just hurting each other, huh?]
["Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama" @"Pretending-To-Be-Young Old Woman"]
["Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama" @"Pretending-To-Be-Young Old Woman"]
["Pretending-To-Be-Young Old Woman":
Have you gone mad?!
Do you really want us both to suffer like this?!]
["Less Immature Than Tsunade-sama":
I've already been humiliated—
Now we're going down together.]
[Jiraiya (23):
Why, oh why…
Why must won make life so hard for each other?]
Just then, the match room disappeared from the scroll.
The image resud.
[In the blink of an eye, Tsunade and Jiraiya were seen seated inside a tavern.]
[Uzumaki Mito:
sigh
And I really thought little Tsunade had finally grown up…]
