"It's just up here," she pointed, bittersweet memories coming to the fore when she remembered hiding behind this tree, sparring with that battered training dummy. (It probably wasn't the same one, but it represented all the training dummies she'd shattered while training with Team Hiruzen.)
Shoving the memories down, Tsunade flooded her limbs with chakra. She didn't activate any of her usual battle precautions except that one; there was no way the kid was good enough to need Kage-killer levels of defenses.
"C'mon," Tsunade invited, shrugging off her coat and hanging it on a nearby branch. "Come at me."
