When Tianqi arrived at the open space in the backyard of the tavern, the first thing he saw was Ai and his subordinate Amai.
Holy crap, why haven't these two left yet? Did they really stay here all night?
When Tianqi noticed the two of them, Ai and Amai also noticed him. They were somewhat surprised, but they came up to Tianqi and greeted him respectfully.
"Lord Tianqi!!" They still had to show the respect due to this senior expert.
"Why are you still staying here instead of leaving?"
"Uh... well, we're planning to ask Lady Tsunade to heal our companion. Of course, we would be very grateful if you would be willing to help us again!"
Listening to Amai's words, Tianqi realized that another of their companions had been hit by Xuanyuan's exploding insects. He hadn't thought of it at first, probably because he had just woken up and his mind was still foggy.
"Oh, I see. Then you can talk to Tsunade slowly. Just pretend I don't exist!" With that, Tianqi walked to the side.
Seeing that Tianqi clearly didn't want to get involved, Amai and Ai were a little helpless. If he were willing to take action, Karai's Bursting Insects could be easily dealt with, but since he was unwilling to take action, they had no choice but to ask Tsunade.
"No need for all that nonsense, Raikage, come on over!" Although she was a little surprised that Tianqi and Raikage knew each other, Tsunade didn't care about that at the moment and walked to the stone platform, making an arm-wrestling motion with her right hand.
The Fourth Raikage, A, didn't say much. He immediately walked to the edge of the stone platform, grasped Tsunade's hand, and prepared to start arm wrestling.
At this moment, Tianqi, with great foresight, stepped between the two and became the referee, placing one hand on their clenched fists and shouting loudly, "You two are ready, set, go!"
As soon as Tianqi said "start," Ai and Tsunade began to exert their strength at the same time. Instantly, a strong wind arose around them, and the stone platform began to crack little by little under their force. For a moment, the two were evenly matched in their contest of strength.
The youngest member, Itachi, knew that the person opposite him was the Raikage. He clenched his small hands, clearly worried about his grandmother Tsunade, after all, she was the Kage of a great ninja village.
"Itachi, cheer for your grandma! Shout it out loud!" Tianqi shouted, seeing Itachi's nervous expression.
"Go, Grandma Tsunade! Go, Grandma!!!" With Grandpa Tianqi speaking up, Itachi also abandoned his composure and shouted "Go, Grandma!!!"
When Tsunade heard her grandson Itachi cheering her on, she began to exert her strength, and yellow chakra spread throughout her body. The Fourth Raikage A's hand was slowly pressed down on her.
As for A, his entire body was covered in lightning-attribute chakra at this moment. However, even though he had used all his strength, he was still no match for Tsunade. His hand was being pressed down little by little, and even clenching his molars was useless.
What incredible strength! Garuda was somewhat surprised to see Tsunade suppressing the burly man opposite her.
She actually gained the upper hand in terms of strength... This woman, I can't lose. If I lose, Karai will... I absolutely cannot lose!
Looking at his hand that had been pressing down, Ai suddenly had an idea. He suddenly relaxed and pulled back his strength halfway through, taking advantage of the gap when Tsunade was about to press him down onto the stone platform, he used his speed to completely push her back down.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the stone platform shattered into small stones, and Tsunade completely lost the arm wrestling match.
"Well, the outcome is decided. The winner of this arm-wrestling match is the Fourth Raikage, A!" Seeing that the outcome was clear, Tianqi stepped forward to announce the result.
Hearing that someone else was coming to announce the results, Tsunade looked at Tianqi with displeasure. "I've already lost, is it really necessary for you to come and announce the results? I really wonder if we're family."
Under Tsunade's gaze, Tianqi scratched his head sheepishly.
"Lady Tsunade lost to someone else in terms of strength?" Shizune looked equally incredulous.
"Wrong! Tsunade didn't lose in strength, she lost in speed!" Tianqi explained to Shizune again.
The two stood up at the same time. A looked calmly at Tsunade and said, "I can't lose for my comrades. Don't call me despicable."
"No, and I never said it was a contest of strength. You won in an arm wrestling match!" Tsunade didn't admit she couldn't accept defeat and readily acknowledged her loss.
"So you're willing to treat Karai? Please come this way!" Upon hearing this, Amai immediately became the guide, giving Tsunade no reason to refuse.
"Garuda sister, would you like to go for a walk with me?"
"Of course I'd love to, sister!"
"Okay, let's go, Shizune!" Seeing that Garuda had agreed, Tsunade picked up Itachi, called Shizune, and followed Amai.
Only Tianqi and Ai remained staring at each other. Finally, the Fourth Raikage, Ai, spoke up first: "Lord Tianqi, if you're free, why don't you come with us and take a look?"
"Alright, I'm free anyway, I'll go with you guys and see!" With the Fourth Raikage as a way out, Tianqi took the opportunity to step down.
As for why A called on Tianqi, it was entirely because he didn't really trust Tsunade's abilities. If Tsunade couldn't heal Karai, there was always Tianqi, a powerful figure, to help. If things really didn't work, he would definitely ask Tianqi for help no matter what.
Led by Amai, the group walked for five or six minutes before finally arriving at a dilapidated building site. Inside a run-down house, they found Karai lying on a stone slab.
On the way here, Amai briefly explained the situation.
"Karai, I've brought Lady Tsunade's most skilled medical ninja. Your life is saved!"
Upon hearing Amai's words, Karai painfully opened his eyes and glanced at everyone.
Tsunade didn't waste any words. After putting Itachi down, she went straight to Karai and immediately began to check on him, her hands radiating green healing chakra.
"You just said you stole the secret technique from Sugino Village, right? I didn't expect Sugino Village to have such a powerful character!" After a thorough examination, Tsunade secretly admired the person who had used the technique.
"The enemy is not a ninja from Sugino Village."
"What?"
"They are Xuanyuan followers hired by Suginomura!"
"Xuanyuan Clan? The Xuanyuan Clan, the ninjas known as the Hunting Ninjas?" Tsunade stopped what she was doing upon hearing that it was the Xuanyuan Clan, looking surprised.
Even Shizune, who was standing to the side, was startled by the name of Xuanyuan Clan, which shows that Xuanyuan Clan still has a lot of prestige among ninjas.
Seeing that the Raikage remained silent, Tsunade continued calmly, "Silence is not helpful for the treatment. You must tell me everything that happened!"
