Tsunade, though angry, hadn't lost her rationality. "It's fine, Big Brother can definitely handle it. What you should be worried about is whether this kid will get shorter, because right now I really want to break his legs."
Mamiko, who was out taking out the trash, saw her daughter-in-law stomping furiously towards the Kumotsuru Clan's compound, with her son trying to calm her down behind her.
She was momentarily confused, unsure what was happening. She thought Tsunade had gotten into a conflict with someone.
She wanted to call out to Dan, but they had already reached the Kumotsuru Clan's entrance.
Too worried, she could only go over by herself to see what was happening, hoping no conflict would arise.
Mamiko had just reached Torifu's front gate when she heard an angry shout from inside: "Nawaki! You brat, you finally decided to come back!"
Furious, Tsunade clenched her fists and leaped into the air the moment she saw Nawaki!
She brought her fist down hard on Nawaki!
Nawaki hadn't even reacted yet. He suddenly saw Big Sister had a lot she wanted to say, but clearly, Big Sister didn't want to talk to him right now; she wanted to beat him up.
In a panic, Nawaki quickly used Wood Release to defend himself, but the wood was no match for Tsunade's monstrous strength!
With just a single touch, it was instantly smashed into countless wood splinters, flying everywhere.
Torifu, worried the splinters would damage the house, waved his hand, and a gentle breeze swept out, gathering all the wood splinters together and neatly piling them on the ground.
He sat in the courtyard, watching the loving greeting between the siblings, and nodded with satisfaction. "Tsunade is still the one who knows how to take care of people. Nawaki must be overjoyed."
But Nawaki at this moment showed no sign of joy. He was treating his Big Sister's fists very seriously.
If he were to let his guard down even slightly, he feared many bones in his body would be shattered.
"Big Sister, don't be in a hurry, listen to me! I won't leave again after coming back this time!"
Nawaki hastily explained, attempting to use his words to awaken Tsunade's familial affection.
But Tsunade had always loved Nawaki dearly; there was no need to awaken anything. She was simply delivering some tough love.
Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, Nawaki immediately released a Wood Dragon to block, but Tsunade grabbed it and tore it apart in a few moves.
Their strengths were evenly matched, but Tsunade was enraged at the moment, and Nawaki didn't dare to use his full power against his Big Sister.
So the scales of victory quickly tilted.
Tsunade suddenly leaped from the ground, raising one leg high and bringing it down with immense force!
Nawaki saw he had nowhere to run, so he closed his eyes and gathered all his chakra into his arms, intending to block with both hands.
Torifu looked at Tsunade, knowing this must be the final blow. However, Tsunade was truly using her full strength; with this kick, Nawaki's hands would likely be pulverized.
Yet, Torifu smiled at this moment. "This little girl is smart; she knows I'll catch him."
With that, Torifu tapped the ground with his finger, and an enormous surge of chakra instantly erupted!
In an instant, the ground was covered with a solid layer of crystal! Even the surrounding houses, trees, flowers, and plants were encased in crystal shells!
The entire Kumotsuru Clan compound had transformed into a crystal palace.
Just as Tsunade's foot was about to land on Nawaki's arm, Torifu waved his hand, and the crystal around Nawaki directly spawned a large number of crystallizations.
Nawaki was enveloped within them.
The next second, the Heavenly Foot of Pain smashed firmly into the crystal armor! With a boom! The crystal burst instantly!
The crystal armor protecting Nawaki didn't even send out fragments! It was all shattered into powder!
Nawaki stood in the center of the courtyard, trembling.
Minato, Yahiko, and Konan were also hiding in the corner, daring not to make a sound.
Aunt Tsunade, who was usually kind and gentle, had such a violent side; it truly terrified them.
Tsunade landed steadily on the ground, dusting herself off.
Nawaki, on the other hand, plopped down onto the ground. "I survived. It's good to be alive..."
Big Sister's attack showed no restraint; she had vented all her anger.
If Master hadn't intervened, he feared he would have truly ascended to the heavens on the spot.
However, Nawaki also knew that Big Sister acted this way precisely because Master was nearby.
He then sighed, thinking, 'Sigh, it was indeed my fault. It's good that Big Sister can cool down.'
With the 'battle' subsided, Tsunade's anger gradually receded. Seeing this, Dan quickly went over to check on her condition, and after finding her unharmed, he smiled contentedly.
Nawaki now had a puzzled expression. "Brother-in-law, you're not checking if I'm injured, but Big Sister instead? You two are definitely a married couple."
Dan chuckled awkwardly. "Haha, Nawaki, Big Brother is here, so there's no way you could get hurt."
Tsunade, however, snorted coldly. "Still have the mind to make jokes like that? It seems you're fine. I'll beat you up again after I rest a bit."
Nawaki quickly waved his hands. "Big Sister! No, please! I know I was wrong! I won't leave again!"
Tsunade turned her head away, not looking at him, but Dan knew that Tsunade was no longer angry.
After all, she wouldn't actually break her own brother's bones; it was just talk.
If Big Brother hadn't been there, Tsunade definitely wouldn't have been so reckless.
Mamiko, who had been secretly observing from the doorway, sighed with relief after understanding the situation.
Since it was Tsunade's family matter, she, as a mother-in-law, wouldn't interfere.
"That boy is Nawaki, right? Hashirama-sama's descendants are indeed extraordinary."
Mamiko smiled, mumbling to herself, then turned and left.
Just as she reached her front door, she saw her old man coming out. "What's going on? Did something happen at Torifu's house?"
He had been sleeping soundly indoors when he suddenly heard a fierce fight from Torifu's courtyard.
Worried that they had argued with someone, he got up to check.
Mamiko waved her hand. "Nothing happened. Tsunade's younger brother is back. He's been gone so long without a word, so Tsunade is teaching her brother a lesson. Torifu is watching, nothing serious."
Hearing his wife say that, the old man also relaxed. He then took Mamiko's hand and went inside.
Back at the Kumotsuru Clan compound, the crystals in the courtyard had all disappeared, and it had returned to its original appearance.
Torifu had also set out many chairs for everyone to sit and chat.
Almost all the family members had come out; even Aokumo and Ryūfū were standing on the eaves, listening to them talk.
After all, the recent battle had been so loud that it kept them from sleeping.
Tsunade coughed twice, cleared her throat, and then asked, "Are you telling the truth? Are you really not leaving this time?"
