It must be said that emotion is an extremely strange thing. When you embrace it, it feels incredibly precious, something you wouldn't trade for anything. However, when you discard it, this special feeling, once cherished for so long, becomes utterly worthless.

Watching the fist, fueled by rage, come smashing towards him, Wuchen merely let out a soft laugh, a look of mockery on his face, his pupils then transforming into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Golden, materialized chakra surged, and an evil aura suddenly descended, enveloping Wuchen in layers.

Bang!

Wuchen neither dodged nor flinched. Senju Tsunade's furious fist, with explosive power like a mountain crashing, slammed into Susanoo. The Hokage Office immediately collapsed, completely and cleanly leveled.

Wuchen, protected by Susanoo, was naturally unharmed. It was a pity that the Third Hokage's office, where he had worked for many years, was reduced to nothing.

"Tsunade, are you crazy?"

Orochimaru and Jiraiya's expressions both darkened. Senju Tsunade's serious attacks were no joke; her single punch could easily turn a small mountain into dust.

"Don't worry, I didn't go for the kill."

Senju Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru and Jiraiya, then fixed her gaze on the collapsed ground ahead. She then spoke calmly to the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, her pretty face subtly hinting at a chilling aura.

This Senju Tsunade, exuding a cold aura that kept people at a thousand paces, from inside out, was extremely rare. Clearly, she was truly enraged.

"Going for the kill? Those words are ambiguous. Do you think bringing out your full power means one punch can finish me off? Or... do you think that was my full power just now? Or perhaps you believe an Uchiha's Susanoo can't even withstand one of your punches? You're truly too naive, Senju Tsunade!"

Wuchen's disdainful voice rang out, accompanied by a "crackle-crackle" of wooden structures collapsing. Countless plumes of dust rose into the air, obscuring visibility to less than five meters, but the golden, shimmering figure could still be seen.

"It's quite surprising, actually. I never expected the first person to make me use this ninjutsu would be you."

The figure in the smoke became increasingly clear. Upon closer inspection, it was Wuchen, emerging with Susanoo activated, his body covered in exceptionally sturdy golden chakra.

"With your current level, it's very difficult to destroy my Susanoo, Tsunade." Wuchen spoke confidently, looking directly at the furious Senju Tsunade.

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Senju Tsunade did destroy Uchiha Madara's Susanoo, but those were Susanoo clones of Uchiha Madara. Breaking through Wuchen's Susanoo is possible, provided Senju Tsunade doesn't hold back any of her power.

"You two, go seal off the surroundings. Don't let anyone come near. Tell them it's my order."

The Third Hokage, with a considerable headache, instructed Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Senju Tsunade and Wuchen's temperaments were quite similar; neither was the type to easily abandon their principles just by being talked down.

Tsunade was not, and Wuchen even less so.

"I'll watch here to ensure they don't go too far."

Hearing this, Jiraiya and Orochimaru merely exchanged a speechless glance, secretly despising the Third Hokage. Isn't this 'going too far' enough? Your old man's private Hokage Office has already been smashed to smithereens!

"Let's go, Jiraiya."

Shrugging, Orochimaru called out to Jiraiya. Since the Third Hokage had already said so, even if trouble arose, it wouldn't be their fault.

"You are very hypocritical."

Gazing at Senju Tsunade, whose pretty face was filled with killing intent, Wuchen spoke extremely abruptly, giving a sense of bewilderment.

"Brat, what do you mean?!"

Senju Tsunade's face was livid. As the direct granddaughter of the First Hokage, she was Konoha's acknowledged princess. To be called hypocritical by a brat, especially one from the Uchiha clan!

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan was well-known.

"What do I mean? Does it even need saying?"

Wuchen looked at Senju Tsunade expressionlessly, then a sneer touched his lips as he said contemptuously, "Since you detest schemers so much, why do you remain in a fundamentally corrupt place like Konoha? If I'm not mistaken, Senju Nawaki's death has quite a bit to do with Shimura Danzo."

Konoha's corruption and darkness were globally renowned.

"You!!!"

Senju Tsunade clenched her delicate fists, her pretty face marked with a fierce aura, glaring at Wuchen with ill intent.

"Brat, what do you know? You know nothing! The reason I choose to remain in Konoha is to protect the legacy my grandfather left behind!! That is all!!!"

Her pupils darting away from Wuchen's gaze, Senju Tsunade argued, red-faced. Though her tone was stubborn, it clearly conveyed a sense of lacking conviction.

Hearing this, Wuchen merely shook his head, offering a look of pity. Not to mention deceiving him, a person who had lived two lives, Senju Tsunade probably couldn't even convince herself.

"Since that's the case, I'll show you the true nature of this world."

With his crimson Mangekyo Sharingan locked onto Senju Tsunade's gaze, Wuchen's lips curved into a strange arc, the deep red color imbued with various negative emotions.

Seeing Wuchen's Mangekyo gaze fixed on her, Senju Tsunade instinctively closed her eyes, but it was too late.

"Tsukuyomi..."
