Chapter 116 - Chapter 116 : Medical Ninjutsu Showdown

Tsunade took the medical ninjutsu competition very seriously.

She wasn't the type to underestimate an opponent, no matter who they were. And if someone was foolish enough to challenge her in medical ninjutsu, she would make sure they regretted it.

Without hesitation, she unleashed the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

The diamond-shaped mark on her forehead expanded, sending black streaks coursing down her body as the Byakugō no Jutsu fully activated.

"Is this Tsunade's Byakugō no Jutsu? That's incredible!"

Kushina, standing to the side, couldn't help but be amazed.

Tsunade barely acknowledged her. Her golden eyes were fixed on her opponent—Kurama, a man who had the nerve to challenge her in medical ninjutsu.

She scoffed.

"Hmph. Challenging me in medical ninjutsuis the biggest mistake you've ever made."

With that, she picked up a kunai and slashed a deep cut across her right arm.

**Hiss—**

The wound was deep—muscle and bone visible beneath torn flesh—and blood immediately gushed out.

But before Kushina could even react, the wound closed within seconds, as if it had never been there in the first place.

This was the power of Byakugō no Jutsu

Tsunade smirked and crossed her arms.

"Give up now, kid. You're still far from my level."

After all, Senju Hashirama, her grandfather, had been capable of passively healing wounds without hand seals. While Tsunade required Byakugō no Jutsu, it was still one of the most advanced regeneration techniques in history.

She expected Kurama to back down.

But instead—

Kurama picked up his own kunai and slashed his right arm just as deeply.

Blood splattered onto the ground

Tsunade's brows furrowed slightly.

"This idiot—he's actually serious?"

Despite the deep cut, Kurama didn't flinch. His face remained completely unreadable.

And then, his wound healed instantly

Tsunade's smirk disappeared.

"What?"

She was certain she wasn't hallucinating.

That kind of regeneration was nearly on par with hers.

Kushina coughed awkwardly, trying to break the tension.

"Ahem… First round is a draw! No winner or loser!"

Then she turned to Kurama.

"You attacked first, so you go first in the next round too!"

Kurama grinned

"If we're playing this game, let's raise the stakes."

Without hesitation, he drove the kunai straight into his own heart

Pfft—

The blade pierced through his chest, the tip emerging from his back.

Tsunade's eyes widened.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy?"

Kushina gasped

Blood dripped from the kunai, staining his chest completely red.

But even as his heart should have been fatally damaged—Kurama's expression didn't change.

And then—in the blink of an eye—his wound healed

Tsunade was stunned

"This regeneration… it's just like my Mitotic Regeneration: One Hundred Healings Technique."

Kurama smirked.

"The Legendary Sannin, the Princess of Konoha, the best medical-nin in the world—your turn, Tsunade."

The exaggerated titles were clearly meant to mock her.

Tsunade clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"Tch. You're going to regret that."

Without hesitation, she stabbed herself in the heart with her kunai.

Thud—

There was a muffled sound as the blade punched through her chest.

Then, she pulled it out, and the wound vanished instantly.

Another draw.

Kushina, watching from the sidelines, was horrified.

She had heard of Tsunade's legendary healing ability, but this was the first time she had seen her go all out like this.

She never expected someone else to match her.

What followed next was nothing short of insanity

Tsunade and Kurama mutilated themselves over and over again.

Kunai slashes. Fatal stabs. Organ damage. Every wound was instantly healed, and neither of them backed down.

Tsunade's clothes were torn and bloodstained, but her body remained untouched.

Kurama was in the same state—clothes ripped, blood everywhere—but not a single wound remained

The competition lasted for more than half an hour.

At this point, Byakugō no Jutsu's black markings had begun to fade from Tsunade's body.

Her chakra was running low.

Kurama, however, still looked completely fine.

He grinned.

"You still don't look tired, Tsunade?"

Tsunade grimaced

Her stamina was immense, but healing at this level drained chakra rapidly

She refused to admit defeat.

The word "surrender" didn't exist in her dictionary.

So she decided to end this with one final move

This time, instead of a kunai, she picked up a katana

Kushina's eyes widened.

"No way…"

Without hesitation, Tsunade swung the blade and sliced herself in half at the waist.

Schlick—

Her body separated into two pieces

Blood pooled beneath her, but her face remained composed

This was nothing.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tsunade had been cut in half by Madara Uchiha's Susanoo and still survived.

Even so, this was her limit.

The black markings of Byakugō no Jutsu vanished completely

Her chakra was exhausted.

Tsunade's expression darkened.

"Damn it… at a time like this?"

Without her regenerative abilities, she was unable to heal herself

Kurama grinned.

"You lose, Tsunade."

"Hah—I'm not done yet! You haven't moved, have you?"

Kurama sighed.

"Fine. If that's what you want."

He raised his own katana and, just like her, sliced himself clean in half.

Schlick—

Blood splattered across the ground

Tsunade watched in horror—but the next moment, his body stitched itself back together instantly

Her heart sank.

"No… that's impossible."

Kurama didn't just heal—it was as if the injury had never even happened.

Tsunade gritted her teeth

Her two greatest abilities—her strength and her medical ninjutsu—had both been surpassed.

The realization hit her like a hammer.

This man was a monster.

Kurama walked over to her severed torso and smirked.

"Well? I think it's pretty clear who won."

Tsunade exhaled sharply

Her pride refused to let her admit it.

But reality was right in front of her

She closed her eyes and whispered, "I… lost."

Kurama leaned in.

"What was that? Say it louder."

Tsunade glared at him

"I said—I lost!"

Kurama laughed.

"Good. That's what I like to hear."

Kushina immediately rushed over to help.

"Sister Tsunade, even though Kurama won, I still think you're stronger!"

"Hmph. Stop talking and put me back together already."

Just as Kushina started healing her, another voice suddenly shouted from the distance—

"What the hell is going on here?!"

Tsunade turned her head slightly and groaned.

It was Uchiha Mikoto.

Her expression was filled with absolute shock as she saw Tsunade's body split in two, with Kurama and Kushina standing nearby.

Tsunade sighed.

This was going to be hard to explain.
