Kanzaki nodded.
"Well, you've past the first test. Soon we'll see if you can past the rest of them. But first, I'm going to watch this. You can do whatever the hell you want. I wanna see what Juggs is made of."
---------------------------------------
As soon as Izon collided with the ground, Tsunade spun around to the right and hurled him off into a ground of trees. Izon collided with the first tree, breaking cleaning through it, the severed top part of the tree falling off to the left. He hit the second tree right behind the first, making a large dent. Izon pulled himself off the tree and shook his head. Izon glared at Tsunade and cracked his knuckles before grabbing the tree he went through and swinging it at Tsunade. Tsunade's eyes widened as she saw the tree coming towards her. Quickly, she placed her left foot out to her side and brought her right arm up and bracing it with her left hand. The trunk of the tree collided with Tsunade's right forearm and pushed her back two feet, her left foot digging into the ground and leaving a tail from it's starting location.
Tsunade growled when she finally stopped moving. She took in a deep breath and moved her right hand up to the top of the trunk and pushed it into the ground. She then jumped up into the air, doing a slow front flip, Tsunade brought her right heel down onto the trunk, shattering it to splinters from where she connected to half way back to Izon.
Reacting quickly, Izon brought what was left of the trunk over his head and hurled it directly at Tsunade, and ran in, following closely behind it. Tsunade let out a roar and brought her left fist back then hurled it forward, shattering the last of the trunk to splinters, only to see Izon coming at her full speed.
Izon knew that she wouldn't have too much time to react after breaking the log. As soon as he hear her fist connect with the log, Izon pushed forward and jumped up, brining his foot up and catching Tsunade right under the chin. Izon landed and darted under the mid-flight Tsunade and brought his right foot up, catching her in the small of the back and brought his curled left fist down on her gut.
Tsunade let out a scream as she felt Izonās foot and fist connect on each side of her. A fire ignited in her eyes and she used her left hand to grab Izon by the back of the head. Tsunade also focused most of her remaining chakra into her right fist, which erupted into a flame of chakra to bright that it appeared white instead of it's actual blue color. At the same time, Tsunade pulled Izon's head towards her fist and sent her fist towards his face. When her fist connected there was a loud crash, like the sound of thunder, and the ground beneath them dented and pushed down about ten feet, the crater extended twenty feet out.
None of the spectators could see anything. The dust and dirt that was brought up from the ground breaking completely clouded all their vision.
"Sharingan."
Kanzaki activated his special Sharingan which allowed him to see bodies of condensed chakra. As soon as Kanzaki activated his Sharingan, a series of loud crack came from the dust could, along with more dust flying into the air.
In the middle of the crater, Tsunade and Izon were going blow for blow, exchanging punches and kicks. Kanzaki couldnāt see it, but Tsunade had released the chakra she had stored up and both her fists and feet were ignited in crackling blue chakra. Though the two fighters were going blow for blow, Tsunade still had the upper hand. With her massive reserve of chakra, she was able to outlast Izonās berserker mode. And with each blow she landed, Kanzaki could see that Izon was slowing down slightly. The problem with berserking was that once you got completely out of the berserker state, all the pain that you didnāt feel came at you all at once. And from the looks of it Izon was reaching that state.
After twenty minuets of fighting in the dust cloud, the air finally cleared and everyone could see the combatants again. Izon was almost completely out of his berserker mode and the chakra around Tsunadeās hands and feet had severely diminished. It was all going to come to a close in the next few seconds. Simultaneously Tsunade and Izon brought their right hands back and both punched straight for the others face. Izon caught Tsunade on the left cheek and Tsunade caught Izon on the right cheek. For another full minuet the two ninja stood there, frozen in the position. Then the both began to fall to the ground. Tsunade caught herself before she collapsed and after a few seconds of standing with her hands on her knees, stood fully upright. Izon, however had collapsed to the ground.
Kanzaki vanished and appeared right beside Izon.
"You did really well my friend. Youāve earned some rest."
Tsunade walked forwards and stopped on Kanzakiās left side. She reached down and put her left hand on his shoulder. Kanzaki reached up with his right hand and put it on top of Tsunadeās hand.
"Iām glad to see that going ahead with the project wasnāt a bad idea. You and your own have truly become powerful."
With that, Tsunade let out a sigh and left, heading back to the Hokage mansion for a well deserved nights sleep and a few bottles of sake.
"Come on, weāll take him to the hospital. Iāve got a signed and sealed not from Tsunade, so theyāll have to accept and treat him. Though I think he just mainly needs rest."
Shizune walked forward as she spoke and helped Kanzaki with Izon. Together they headed in the direction of the hospital.
-----------------------------------
Back in the trees, the hidden spectator clapped softly, not caring if anyone hear him now. The claps echoed across the clearing, loud enough for Kanzaki, Midnight and Shizune to pick up. Kanzaki looked over his shoulder and into the trees, but it was too late, the man was already gone.
-----------------------------------
Kanzaki stepped out of the front door of the hospital after getting Izon there. Shizune had insisted that she take care of all the details, and shooed Kanzaki out. Kanzaki looked up at the sky, there was still a fain hint of the sun, which meant the ramen stands would still be open. Kanzaki rubbed his hands together and headed off to find one.
-----------------------------------
Two hundred yards outside the main gate the man stopped and turned. With a slight grin, he looked upon his home with his piercing red eyes one last time. He turned around again, pulling his black cloak around him and placing the straw hat on his head. If anyone was looking, all theyād see was an outline and several red clouds slowly getting further and further away from the village gates.
