章節 209: Chapter 209
In a hypothetical scenario where Tsunade could indeed harm him, the seemingly insignificant Deva Path and Nagato would be effortlessly defeated by her.
In some instances, power transcends conventional boundaries.
Power, he thought, had the ability to shatter all laws.
If there was a punch that could hurt Carnes, then it would certainly have the force to break through the power of Almighty Push and Universal Pull very easily.
Observing Tsunade carefully, Carnes spoke lightly, his words carrying a subtle challenge.
"You seem to have blind confidence in your own strength. If that's the case, how about we make a little bet?"
Within that proposition, a particularly sensitive word lingered, causing Konoha's ninjas to tense up instinctively.
The word 'bet' hung in the air, a sensitive trigger for the Konoha ninjas.
Their Hokage possessed a notorious inclination towards gambling with stakes as high as life itself, a trait well-known among their ranks.
The tension in the room heightened, and despite the expectation, they knew Tsunade wouldn't be able to resist.
Though, she did have a reputation for losing every bet.
So, when Carnes proposed the bet, anticipation rippled through the onlookers.
They expected Tsunade to show her true form, and accept the bet, even though history showed that she consistently emerged on the losing side of such wagers.
Predictably, Tsunade's demeanor transformed upon hearing Carnes' proposition.
It was as if a high-octane drug was injected through her veins, invigorating her.
She licked her lips, ready for whatever gamble lay ahead.
A subtle yet telling manifestation of the exhilaration that accompanied the prospect of a challenge.
"Do you dare to place a bet with me?"
Carnes challenged with a smirk, a confident glint in his eyes.
"Come on, what's the bet?"
Tsunade's response was a nonchalant smirk of her own.
Her response drew no surprise from the Konoha Village ninjas; they merely hoped that Carnes would show some mercy, praying that the stakes wouldn't reach unbearable heights.
As for the possibility of their own Hokage winning—well, that idea hadn't even crossed their minds.
Could she really win this?
The idea of Tsunade emerging victorious in a bet was almost inconceivable to them.
Was she still worthy of the Hokage title?
Carnes, well aware of Tsunade's fiery temperament, proposed a wager against her.
He slyly proposed a challenge based on her supposed confidence in her fists.
He spoke as he confidently pointed at her chest.
"You are excessively confident in your fists, your punching prowess, aren't you?"
Carnes leaned back, crossing his arms.
"I will just sit here."
"As long as you manage to inflict harm on me."
"Even if it's a mere scratch, a slight injury breaking the skin, you still win. What do you say?"
"Can you still prove your strength?"
"What!?"
Carnes proposed, a mischievous grin playing on his lips.
The audacity of his suggestion sent shockwaves through the gathering.
The moment Carnes dropped this bombshell, the scene erupted into chaos.
Tsunade, along with the other ninjas present, stood dumbfounded.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined Carnes would suggest such an audacious bet.
Undoubtedly, they acknowledged Carnes' strength. In a serious battle,
Tsunade might not survive even a single round against him.
The issue at hand, however, was that Carnes was now standing there, inviting Tsunade to strike him—not once, but thrice!
The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on the minds of the Konoha Shinobi. The fist of their Hokage was a force to be reckoned with—lethal, capable of ending lives with a single blow.
Just how powerful was the punch of their Hokage?
These ninjas were acutely aware.
In a genuine battle, a single punch could fatally wound a person.
To be killed outright when facing a serious Tsunade was not beyond the realm of possibility.
And now, three punches?
The terms of the bet were making their heads spin. If they merely managed to cause pain or break his skin, victory would be theirs.
Three punches, and the condition for victory?
If the skin tore apart and it hurt, Tsunade would emerge triumphant.
These believers in Konoha Shinobi suddenly found themselves contemplating the unthinkable.
Perhaps their Hokage could shatter expectations and emerge triumphant in this audacious bet against Carnes.
The prospect, initially dismissed as absurd, now lingered as a tantalizing possibility in the minds of the onlookers.
