Talking Tsunade into It

After the green motes slowly sank into Xiao Yun's body, he felt as though every cell in his body had been reborn, filled with an indescribable comfort.

The feeling was like doing it with Tsunade a hundred and one times. Not only that, the strength within his body seemed to have been completely unleashed. Xiao Yun felt that even if a tigress stood before him now, he could easily pin it to the ground and rub it into the dirt.

However, Xiao Yun had no intention of opening his eyes. Though his entire body felt wonderful, he wore an expression of unbearable agony. He tried hard to make his face flush red, rolled his eyes upward, let a trace of white foam dribble from the corner of his mouth, and made his body twitch from time to time.

At this rate, Tsunade looked like she was about to become a widow again.

At that moment, Xiao Yun had a plan in mind!

A plan to get back at Tsunade. He had given her a baby and fulfilled her dream of becoming a mother.

It would have been one thing if she had not spent a few more nights with him to properly repay him, but she had even set a training plan so cruel that Madara would cry upon hearing it. He had to hold it in whenever he needed to pee and endure mosquito bites without complaint!

At the slightest dissatisfaction, she would give him a barrage of little punches. No, were those little punches? They were sledgehammers weighing a thousand pounds!

Was that something the mother of his child should do?

"Xiao Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Tsunade rushed to Xiao Yun's side in a single stride, her face drained of color.

"Lady Tsunade, Xiao Yun may have absorbed too much Chakra. His body can't withstand such enormous energy."

Shizune hurriedly explained.

Boom!

At that moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky.

Heaven is helping me!

Xiao Yun rejoiced inwardly. He abruptly sat upright and stared blankly at Tsunade.

"Xiao Yun, are you all right?!"

Tsunade grabbed Xiao Yun to support him.

"Tsunade, my granddaughter!"

Xiao Yun deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound extraordinarily hoarse.

"Xiao Yun, what happened to you?"

Even Tsunade, a heroine among women, shuddered in fright.

"Ghost!"

Beside them, Shizune was so terrified that she flung the little pig in her arms away, tossing it straight off the cliff.

"Don't be afraid. I am Senju Hashirama, your grandfather. My soul traveled here from the Pure Land and possessed this young man. I do not have much time, so listen to me."

"Tsunade, the Fourth Hokage has already told me that he used the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Nine-Tails inside his son. But I can sense that Naruto currently has no way to control the Nine-Tails' power within him."

"Senju Hashirama" said hoarsely.

Boom!

Tsunade's gaze sharpened. The fact that the Nine-Tails was sealed within Naruto was an open secret, but the Reaper Death Seal was an absolute forbidden technique in Konoha. Other than the Third Hokage, even Jiraiya and Orochimaru did not know about it.

She herself had only learned of this secret technique from her second granduncle, Tobirama Senju.

Could her grandfather's soul truly have possessed Xiao Yun?

"My granddaughter, I know what happened tonight is bizarre, but for Konoha's future, please believe me. I cannot remain in this world for long. You must listen carefully to what I say next."

"The reason I chose this young man to inherit my power is because his talent for Wood Release is unmatched throughout history. Even I, his grandfather, must admit that I am inferior to him."

"If he can grow smoothly, he will certainly be able to bring my imperfect Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands to perfection. At that time, let alone a single Nine-Tails, even if all the Tailed Beasts came at him together, they would not be his match."

"Oh, and you are still wearing the necklace I gave you for your fifth birthday. I never expected you to keep wearing it after all these years."

The moment Xiao Yun finished speaking, he reached for the necklace on Tsunade's chest. Naturally, his hand was just a little off target.

Tsunade suddenly burst into tears.

Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands was one of her grandfather's ultimate techniques. Not even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, knew about it.

Moreover, he knew the origin of her necklace, something she had never told anyone.

If Tsunade had retained even a trace of doubt before, she was now completely certain that her grandfather's soul had truly possessed Xiao Yun.

"Waaah, Grandpa, you really are Grandpa! I missed you so much, sob, sob, sob!"

Tsunade threw herself into Xiao Yun's arms.

So fragrant!

So soft!

So big!

After spacing out for a moment, Xiao Yun revealed an almost imperceptible wicked grin.

"Good child, don't cry. Keep listening to me!"

Xiao Yun "kindly" stroked Tsunade's hair.

"Grandpa, go on!"

Tsunade wiped away her tears, though her lips still trembled with sobs.

"Child, there is little time left, so I will make this brief."

"Listen carefully. After my soul leaves this young man's body, it will leave behind a wisp of Ghost Fire within him. He will suffer persistent high fevers, mental confusion, and strange behavior. If it is not dispelled in time, his meridians will be severely damaged at best, and he will explode to death at worst."

"Then how can it be dispelled?"

Tsunade looked at her grandfather in confusion.

"The method is simple. You only need to sleep with him and use the Yin Chakra of your unique Byakugou Seal to dissolve this Ghost Fire. I know this puts you in a difficult position, but for Konoha's sake, you can only endure this grievance."

Xiao Yun looked at Tsunade with a grave expression.

"Grandpa, you..."

Upon hearing that, Tsunade's face instantly turned scarlet, making her look incomparably beautiful.

"Tsunade, actually, Grandpa already knows. You are carrying his child, although it was an accident."

"My time is up. Sayonara, my granddaughter."

With that, Xiao Yun's face filled with reluctance as he waved goodbye to Tsunade.

"Grandpa, did you meet Danzō in that world?"

"I did! He asked me to tell you that his greatest regret in this life was never having a child with you. Now that someone has done what he could not, he is very happy. He gives you his blessing. You must be happy, all right? Sayonara!"

After saying that, Xiao Yun's body went limp, and he fell straight backward.

At that moment, a light rain began to fall. Tsunade's tears mingled with the rainwater as they streamed down her beautiful face. She murmured, "I'm sorry, Danzō. If fate allows it, we will meet again in the next life!"

Then, carrying the "unconscious" Xiao Yun over her shoulder, she leaped away several times and vanished into the rain.

Konoha Residential District

Inside Xiao Yun's dormitory.

Tsunade carried Xiao Yun back and threw him onto the bed.

"Forty-eight degrees! Lady Tsunade, Xiao Yun is burning up! What should we do?"

Shizune carefully examined the thermometer in her hand.

Tsunade silently watched Xiao Yun on the bed. His entire body was red, he babbled incoherently, and his limbs kept flailing about.

What Tsunade did not know was that Xiao Yun was faking all of it. While absorbing the Wood Chakra earlier, he had absorbed a tiny bit of the other four Chakra attributes as well.

Among them, he had absorbed the most Fire Chakra. Though it was less than one-thousandth of the Wood Chakra's total amount, it was more than enough to make himself look like he was in heat.

"Shizune, go back and rest first!"

After a long while, Tsunade finally made up her mind, her beautiful face flushed scarlet.

"But Lady Tsunade, you're still pregnant. You shouldn't sleep with anyone!"

Shizune hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

Damn it, why did you have to say that? Don't I know whether my own child is okay or not?

Lying in bed, Xiao Yun cursed the ancestors of this hateful third wheel for eighteen generations.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Tsunade asked in return.

"This subordinate is incapable. If I knew the Byakugou Seal..."

Shizune suddenly realized she had misspoken and hurriedly dropped to one knee in panic.

"Forget it. Go bring me two changes of clothes. Oh, and bring a set of clothes for Xiao Yun too."
