Seeing this strange scene,
Shizune was immediately dumbfounded, her train of thought completely interrupted!!
This...
How is this possible?!?
Even a serious Tsunade-sama... can be overpowered in strength?!
And,
Judging by his indifferent demeanor,
This guy... doesn't seem to be using his full strength yet???
Realizing this,
Shizune's face almost turned pale, and she forcefully swallowed.
Since childhood,
In her understanding,
Tsunade was the pinnacle of the strength hierarchy...
Even one of the Sannin, the Toad Sage Jiraiya, might surpass Tsunade in Ninjutsu prowess, but in pure strength, he was far inferior...
However,
This guy before her seemed... to have already surpassed Tsunade!!
Cold sweat trickled down, Shizune stood frozen.
And at this moment,
Here at the stone table,
Tsunade's expression naturally shifted too!
She couldn't possibly not feel her hand being pressed down a bit!
But...
What is this feeling?!
Clearly...
Clearly, I've exerted my maximum current strength, yet it feels like facing a giant mountain, completely unable to budge it???!
Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly as she gazed at Kyo opposite,
Her expression incredulous!!
And just then,
Kyo opposite, his golden eyes flickering slightly,
He didn't pay attention to Tsunade's expression, but fully focused on controlling his Spiritual Pressure.
That's right,
He certainly wasn't relying on pure physical strength to oppose her.
Instead, he increased the spiritual pressure covering his entire arm, thereby providing a powerful gravity and a pushing force to press the opponent down.
The power exhibited by compressed Spiritual Pressure was far more terrifying than the original version.
Therefore,
Even though Kyo was currently using less than 30% of his Spiritual Pressure, it was already showing a clear advantage!
Now,
Unless she unsealed her Yin Seal and used the Strength of the Hundred Technique, there was simply no possibility of winning.
However,
Even if she did that, Kyo only needed to use 100% of his Spiritual Pressure to still perfectly secure the victory.
That is to say,
This strength contest... Kyo... had already won.
Thinking this,
Kyo slightly raised his eyes, looked at Tsunade opposite, and decided to end it directly without hesitation.
Since he had to win to gamble, there was naturally no need to delay.
The moment his thought stirred,
He immediately increased the release of Spiritual Pressure!
At this moment,
An immense, surging force was applied to Kyo's entire arm, wrist, and hand, violently rushing towards Tsunade's right hand!!
Directly pressing her hand rapidly downwards!!
"!!?"
Feeling this immense force, Tsunade's expression changed sharply in an instant, her breath catching!
Wh-what's going on?!
This suddenly surging force is --!!!?
Tsunade's train of thought completely interrupted!!
But at this moment, she simply had no time to react!!
The instant she realized it, her hand was instantly pressed down by that terrifying immense force and slammed onto the stone table!!
Boom!!!!
The entire stone table, in an instant, shattered into pieces!!!!
Even the ground began to show numerous horrifying cracks!!!
Bang!!!!!
Countless winds followed sweeping up, almost instantly dispersing all the golden chakra around Tsunade!!!
Fallen leaves swirled, sand and stones flew!!!
The scene was chaotic!!
At this moment,
Shizune in the distance simply couldn't see anything clearly anymore!
She just stood frozen, her heart filled with horror!
Th-this...
Is this still called... arm wrestling????!
Not only did the stone table shatter... even the ground was cracked???
Just the instantaneous force of pressing down could create such terrifying momentum???!
"Hiss..."
At this moment, a chill ran down her spine, and she couldn't help but gasp!
Although just now,
She felt she had mentally prepared herself.
But...
She was still shocked beyond words!!
After a long while,
The surrounding dust slowly began to clear.
And at this moment,
On the ruins of the stone table, Tsunade's right arm was pinned under Kyo's hand.
The outcome was decided.
At this moment, all was silent.
Only the lingering wind still gently blew.
This arm-wrestling contest of strength,
Tsunade of the monstrous strength...
Had lost.
At this moment, a bead of sweat also hung on her forehead.
Her expression was momentarily frozen, her eyes filled with incredulous horror.
Wh-what's going on...?
I...
I lost just like that???
Before I could even feel his true strength... I directly lost?!
At this moment, Tsunade was completely speechless.
She slowly raised her head, shifting her gaze from her arm, looking incredulously at Kyo ahead.
However at this moment,
Kyo opposite still looked relaxed, with a faint smile.
At this moment, he naturally noticed Tsunade's expression, so he slightly raised an eyebrow and chuckled:
"Sorry about that."
"It seems my strength is just a tiny bit stronger than yours."
As he spoke,
Kyo raised his hand and used his thumb and index finger to indicate a tiny gap.
However,
At these words,
Tsunade opposite was momentarily shaken.
Then, she froze.
Wait,
What did he say...?
His strength, 'a tiny bit stronger'?
This is 'a tiny bit'?!?
That immense force that surged out just now, I completely didn't even have the strength to resist, okay!?
What is that gap you're indicating with your fingers?
Interfinger universe?!
This clearly is a 'tiny bit' times infinity?!?
Tsunade stared intently at Kyo before her, her gaze dazed.
Her mindset, in fact, had somewhat collapsed.
In arm wrestling, she had never encountered such a powerful opponent.
No, that's not right.
In pure strength contests,
She had never felt such a clear gap.
It felt as if,
Even activating the Strength of a Hundred might not stop it...
Tsunade pondered, dazed.
And at this moment,
Unknown to her,
Kyo's mind received a system notification.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Side mission completed!]
[Engage in a pure strength contest with Tsunade (1/1), completed! Reward: Spiritual Pressure +5000, Shop Points +500!]
"...?"
Hearing the notification, Kyo's eyes lit up.
Huh???
Five thousand Spiritual Pressure added directly?
This...
Could it be because I just won by manipulating Spiritual Pressure?
Kyo felt pleased inwardly.
In fact,
The benefits of increased Spiritual Pressure were already very obvious to him.
For example, in this arm-wrestling match with Tsunade.
If Kyo's Spiritual Pressure level was still at the level of those years, it would be absolutely impossible to win so easily.
Winning might even be a question.
"..."
Next,
All that remained was to logically gamble with Tsunade,
And then deliberately lose to her, which seemed to complete the third side mission...
Everything was going smoothly.
A smile appeared at the corner of Kyo's mouth as he looked at Tsunade opposite.
However, just as he was about to speak,
Suddenly,
A strange feeling came to his mind.
"Huh?"
Kyo was momentarily startled,
And then, a calm voice sounded in his mind.
"Kyo."
"?!"
Hearing this voice, Kyo was momentarily taken aback,
Huh?
Wait,
Is this Pain's voice...?
Kyo immediately looked down at the ring on his finger, and sure enough, Pain was using the ring for long-distance communication.
However, just as Kyo was wondering, Pain gravely continued speaking.
"Kyo,"
"There's an urgent situation, we need your support!"
"???"
