End of February.…

The cold air of winter has dissipated a lot under my eyes. In the bare woods, many new green buds have sprouted on the ground and poked their heads in the air.

Deep in the woods, waves of scoldings came from the sound, and the voices seemed full of energy. Only two figures, one big and one small, were seen, undergoing extremely rigorous training.

These two people are Tsunade and Sakura.

Unlike the spotless Tsunade, Sakura was not only out of breath, but also covered in scars all over her body.

The pink waist-length hair has also lost its cherry-colored luster due to being contaminated with a lot of dust, and the hairstyle has become even more disheveled. Combined with the bruises on his body, he looks worse than a beggar.

The miserable feeling of being down and out.

"Remember, as a ninja, as long as you still have breath, never stop fighting! On the battlefield, never ask for charity and mercy from your opponent!"

Seeing Sakura like this, Tsunade not only had no mercy in her eyes, but her eyes that had lost their warmth glanced at Sakura with cold eyes. Her whole person looked like a stone without emotion, giving people endless coldness.

"yes!"

Even though the pain was so painful that she wanted to shed tears, Sakura thought of something and still endured the pain. She gritted her teeth and used the last bit of willpower in her body to continue the training to the end.

Although from the beginning, Sakura had tried to make Tsunade's training as difficult as possible, but the moment she was truly guided by Tsunade, she realized that such training was not for humans at all... No, it was not prepared for women.

training.

Compared to Tsunade's strictness, Kakashi's guidance to her in the past was probably not up to standard even for the novice level.

The two cannot be compared at all.

However, I can't give up just yet.

If you don’t want to be a loser and don’t want to rely on others for everything, you can only become stronger by yourself!

She didn't want the pain of trying and being unable to do anything when something happened.

"Now keep attacking, don't stop!"

Tsunade continued to scold Sakura, asking Sakura to attack her quickly.

Sakura gritted her teeth, circulated the chakra in her body, gathered it in her fist, rushed towards Tsunade's front, and punched hard.

Tsunade's facial expression remained motionless, as if she hadn't seen Sakura's fist.

When the fist was about to hit her face, she raised her palm and placed it in front of her, wrapping Sakura's fist in her palm, making it impossible to move forward.

No matter how much Sakura struggled, the fist wrapped in Tsunade's palm remained motionless, as if it was welded there.

Suddenly, Tsunade loosened her palm, and a huge thrust passed through Sakura's fist and rushed back to Sakura's body, causing her body to shake. Then she was blown away like a kite with its string broken.

It rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before stopping.

"Ahem."

Sakura coughed violently.

Although she did not vomit blood, the pain in her body accumulated and deepened. It was a huge and difficult test for her willpower.

"The chakra is not concentrated enough, and the speed of chakra movement is not fast enough. How can it be possible to explode the power like this? Could it be that you haven't eaten today? A genius in chakra control... I think this comment in your writing

, a bit overrated.”…

"Old, teacher..."

"Call me Hokage-sama. When you meet the standards I expect, I will officially accept you as my disciple."

Tsunade refused without hesitation and had a cold attitude.

Sakura felt aggrieved, but she just pursed her lips and didn't speak. She tried her best to adjust her breathing and adjust her mentality.

She knew that these torturous trainings were not only to train her physical deficiencies, but also to hone her willpower.

According to Tsunade, female ninjas are on average weaker than male ninjas in terms of natural conditions. If you want to develop powerful physical skills, then the training of willpower is more cruel and brutal than the training of male ninjas.

strict.

Only in this way can women, as a disadvantaged group, hope to equal and surpass male ninjas.

Among the ninjas in famous towns today, the proportion of female ninjas is extremely rare. Most of the time, they will be guided.

That's why Tsunade is so strict.

Use the highest standards to train Sakura's willpower. If you can't even pass this level, then there is no need to talk about the advanced training in the future.

Not only Tsunade understands this, but Sakura, as a victim of abuse, also understands this.

After all, Tsunade knew the severity of her attack and deliberately avoided the vital points, so that she would not leave any permanent wounds on Sakura's body that could not be erased afterwards.

Although doing this will make Sakura's posture inelegant, it will allow her to ignore the fact that she is a girl when fighting, but a ninja who is stronger than a man!

To put it simply, it is to make Sakura understand that being a woman is just a drag when fighting.

As long as you don't treat yourself as a woman, you will be on the same level as a man mentally and will not put any psychological pressure on yourself.

The importance of mentality to the role of ninjas in combat is self-evident.

Many female ninjas subconsciously believe that they are not as good as male ninjas in battle. No matter how they fight, they will fail. As a result, their morale is reduced by 30% before the battle begins.

All Tsunade wants to do is this, through tempering her willpower, let Sakura completely get rid of the fact that she is a 'woman'!

Being rough and savage, if you want to be respected by men, you must be more ferocious than male ninjas in battle, otherwise, you will not be able to intimidate others.

Especially in these chaotic times.

Next, each of Sakura's attacks would be repelled by Tsunade, and then she would be thrown a long way away.

Once, twice, three times...ten times...twenty times...until I finally stretched out and fell to the ground without a girlish image, today's training was considered over.

"Huh...huh..."

Sakura put her palms on her forehead, weakly wiping the sweat from her forehead and panting weakly.

Tsunade walked over and said with a slightly softened expression: "That's all for today's training. When we go back, take a shower and cleanse your body. In addition, your performance these days is very good. I thought at first that you insist on

You may not be able to hold on for three days. As long as you always maintain this idea of ​​getting stronger, I believe that sooner or later you will break out of your own world."...

"Yes, Hokage-sama..."

Sakura reluctantly sat up from the ground and continued to breathe.

Use the chakra in your body to use medical ninjutsu to treat your wounds and relieve the pain.

After training, there is no need to torture your body like this.

Seeing Sakura skillfully using medical ninjutsu to treat herself, Tsunade also flashed a look of admiration in her eyes.

Being able to use medical ninjutsu so skillfully at this age can be said to be quite outstanding. Even some medical ninjas who are a few years older than her may not be as good as her.

"Speaking of which, Sakura, why did you become a medical ninja?"

"Ah, this..."

When Tsunade asked this question, Sakura was surprised, then her face turned red, and she explained a little coyly.

"Maybe it's for Sasuke-kun..."

Speaking of this, Sakura's face clearly showed a hint of loneliness.

Tsunade touched her chin and thought, then said to Sakura: "Really? Because of love? Although I don't really want to hit you, Sakura, I don't know what kind of person that Uchiha Sasuke is, and he is worthy of you.

Pay attention to him. But there is only one thing. You must remember that he is a defected ninja from Konoha. From the moment he leaves Konoha, he is no longer in the same world as you."

"Is there no way for the village to re-accept Sasuke, Hokage-sama? And Kakashi-sensei..."

The expression on Sakura's face became urgent.

Tsunade stared at Sakura's hopeful face and slowly shook her head.

"There are some inside stories that you who are not genin can know... I can only tell you that they cannot return to Konoha, and similarly, Konoha cannot re-accept their existence."

Sakura's eyes were filled with sadness.

"Sorry, I hit you hard."

"No, this has nothing to do with you, Hokage-sama. I am very satisfied that you can tell me these truths. In fact, I also understand that it is impossible for Sasuke-kun and Kakashi-sensei to come back. This is just wishful thinking of Naruto and me...

…”

The expression on Sakura's face was a very forced smile.

"Is that yellow-haired boy? He has really annoyed me recently. He hopes that I will cancel the arrest warrants for Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi. He keeps saying that he can take them back to Konoha and change their ways. I hope

Give them a chance...they are really naive brats."

Tsunade thought of something and pressed her temples with a headache.

He is indeed the guy Jiraiya likes. He also lacks a brain, and his political understanding makes him a perfect pair of idiots. He is more like a biological brother than a 'grandfather and grandson'.

Although optimism is a good thing, there are some things that cannot be negotiated and can even be settled with an optimistic approach.

Uchiha Sasuke can still turn around, as long as he can let go of his past prejudices... But Kakashi was the real culprit who murdered the third Hokage. Although it was not a direct killing, he also successfully forced the third generation to commit suicide... It can be said that
To be continued...
