The toad was mostly on defense. It didn't allow Tsunade or Katsuya to get close to Mito how was meditating few meters away. Tsunade was pissed by that action and was heavily hitting the toad. However toad would manage to block every kick with his sword. Katsuya was getting ready to release poisonous gas. The toad was far outmatched. Until Mito oppened her eyes unsealing Samehada. Surprising Tsunade.
Mito jumped straight for Tsunade. The toad left Tsunade to Mito and attacked Katsuya. Mito was swinging Samehada left and right Tsunade did not have choice she had to dodge. Mito was leading her away from Katsuya. However Katsuya previously splited up and now one part of her was on Tsunade's shoulder. Both Tsunade and Mito knew that Katsuya didn't have fighting chance against toad. However Tsunade also knew that Katsuya would buy her time to finish Mito.
The toad was hesitant to attack Katsuya. But it had to stop her from releasing gas. Katsuya had made it impossible for the toad to reach Mito. The fight here was stalemate.
On the other side Tsunade could feel lose of chakra even though Samehada never touched her. Mito was only getting faster and closer to hitting her. Tsunade finally used maximum of her strength punching the ground. Mito didn't expect such force and she fell down. Samehada slipping from her hand. Tsunade continued to attack now vounurable Mito. Tsunade hited her few times strongly in abdomen. She was expecting henge to drop. When it didn't.
Tsunade stopped for a second. Mito finally had time to cough the blood. She slowly rose from the ground. Mito looked angry at Tsunade saying :" what is it, are you surprised that I am really Uzumaki." Mito whipped her mouth. Grinning :" look at this, even though you are afraid of blood you made me bleed."
Tsunade was shocked, she did not tell anyone of her fear, not even Jiraiya had known. So how did this girl know.
Mito took out the sword Genma gave her and attack stunned Tsunade. However Tsunade dodge on reflex. But it was enough for Mito to take Samehada back. Mito spoke again :" Come on coward, fight me, that way at least I can have some fun before I take you to Konoha."
Tsunade's mood quickly change. She was pissed. Tsunade was destroying everything in her range and still could hear Mito laugh and words:" that's it, keep going. "
Soon the Kaguya disappeared. Tsunade was running low on her chakra, most of it was sucked by Samehada. Mito was betean heavily and barely stood still. Tsunade wasn't in any better condition. And toad reached them both. Mito signaled it to return to summoning World. Tsunade was surprised by that. She laughed and said :" Do you really think that you can beat me in that state. I know Samehada eats a lot of your chakra too. And your wound are life threatening."
Mito nodded at her words and said :" That is all true, but I only need to endure 15 more minutes, and I still have two hidden cards. I was thinking that I would need to use this one soon but, you were easily angered and you lost you sharpness. "
As Mito said that she sealed both of her swords. Her hair began to rise and reddish - orange chakra began to appear from her seal. Slowly covering Mito. Tsunade watched stunned yet again. Tsunade knew immediately that this meant trouble. If she couldn't control, and Tsunade didn't know any jinchuriki who could, Tsunade had to stop her before Mito made a huge scene.
Mito's eyes color changed to the red eyes and yellow pupils. Her body was cowered with cloack of chakra and behind her aperead one tail. Mito slowly started to heal. Tsunade was already in her stance. Mito spoke :" Oh it seems you are no longer a coward."
Tsunade smiled when she heard those words. Indeed she wasn't. Tsunade asked :" Just what are you. Do you have a complete control over your biju."
Mito answered :" I don't have yet, but I can use this much chakra from him. And this is enough to finish this fight."
Just as she finished those words she appeared right next to Tsunade. Tsunade tried to kick her with left leg. However Mito appeared behind her, blowing hot wind from her mouth. Tsunade did not have time to react. The next thing she felt was strong kick. Hitting her right leg on which she was standing. Tsunade was down. Mito kicked her once she was on the ground. Tsunade was sliding on the ground until the tree stopped her. Tsunade slowly raised. She coughed blood and she did not flinch this time. She did not have time. Mito rushed forward. Tsunade dodge, Mito ended destroying the tree, which gave Tsunade enough time to kick Mito into abdominal region.
Mito was getting tired of this fight and the time she gave was almost over. So she decided stay on defense to see if Tsunade would willingly accept defeat. Tsunade could barely run after Mito. Mito was obviously running slowly. Tsunade however after only 600 meters was out of breath. Tsunade knew she was heavily injured however she couldn't allow some brat to beat her. Now it didn't matter that she would have to go to Konoha or that decision about her clan revival. This girl in front of her just made her forget about her fear, she couldn't be coward anymore. Tsunade fell down drained.
The time had runned out. Mito slowly came closer with each step the amount of chakra around Mito was smaller. Shizune and anbus finally came closer too. Mito kneeled besides Tsunade. Shizune was surprised by position. Tsunade watched Mito questionably. Mito didn't speak as her hands were covered with orange chakra. She slowly moved her hands closer to Tsunade. Shizune 's eyes widden she almost yelled Mito to stop. However Tsunade' s face after Mito's chakra touched her, looked more comfortable. Tsunade 's wounds on the outside healed very slowly. However Tsunade knew that Mito was focusing on internal damage. She could feel that Mito was inexperienced, but that her chakra helped her a lot in healing. Tsunade immediately saw the potential of Mito as a med-nin.
The anbus were standing still few meters away writing a report to Hokage and Jiraiya. Shizune was carefully watching every single of Mito's moves. She could see that Mito was threading carefully, but she could see that she had more experience than Mito, maybe she wasn't better but she was for sure more confident in her ability to heal. Mito soon stopped her healing saying :" that's is all I can do. Shizune you can take over."
Shizune nodded her head and immediately started to heal. Mito headed towards Anbu. The Anbu stopped everything they were doing and gave Mito all of their attention. Mito slowly spoke with them about when they would head back to Konoha. They decided it would be the best in the morning. Mito said that that would need to be mentioned in report. The Anbu nodded and quickly finnished the report. Sending them with hawks. Tsunade spoked to Shizune :" I guess we are going to Konoha."
Shizune smiled brightly saying:"yes, we are."
