Having Seen a Leaf, You Delude Yourself into Thinking You Have Seen the Sky-Reaching Tree!

"Emiya, what are you doing?!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the man in alarm.

Shirou Emiya!

How could it be Shirou Emiya!

Why would Shirou Emiya appear on the battlefield at this time?!

She even helped Konoha's enemies attack Tsunade, who was maintaining the Four Red Yang Formation!

As a little guy who had spent three or four years with Shirou Emiya and had always been taken care of by him, he never imagined that Shirou Emiya stand on the opposite side of him!

Compared to Naruto Uzumaki's thoughts, those in Konoha who understood Shirou Emiya's ways better were shocked by this scene!

No one would have imagined that the greatest medical ninja in the history of the Shinobi World would actually be the mastermind behind a dangerous organization that recruits S-Rank Missing-nin!

Mingming.—.

Everything seems completely unrelated!

There seems to be no connection between the two sides.

How could a highly respected medical ninja in the Shinobi World, who is like a savior in people's hearts, possibly have any connection with an organization full of missing-nin!

"Emiya-sama."

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, called out somewhat cowardly.

The old man's body trembled slightly, and his face was somewhat pale. He showed no trace of his former Shinobi Hero demeanor, because he could not imagine that the other party would appear at this time.

"How is that possible—"

Shimura Danzo, who had been secretly waiting for his chance, had his pupils dilate instantly when he saw Shirou Emiya attack Tsunade!

Even Shimura Danzo couldn't believe that Emiya Tsuchihara was the Master of Akatsuki!

As two people who once followed Shirou Emiya on his travels through the Shinobi World, they had both witnessed Emiya Tsuchihara's acts of saving lives. In their hearts, Shirou Emiya would always be a kind-hearted man, someone who would never harm the Shinobi World or hurt anyone. That's why Shimura Danzo was so brazen in his desire to exploit him!

How could someone like that be the Master of Akatsuki!

"This can't be real!"

Ignoring her injuries, Tsunade gritted her teeth and stood up, trying to reach Shirou Emiya: "Lord Shirou couldn't possibly be..."

"When-"

Shirou Emiya watched as Tsunade staggered towards Tsunade. The coldness in his voice felt especially real at that moment. "You think the Shirou Emiya you know is the whole Shirou Emiya?"

"No way—"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's steps faltered, yet she stubbornly continued towards Shirou Emiya, desperately trying to defend him and find an answer for her own life, "Lord Shirou would never—"

She doesn't believe it!

Tsunade refused to believe it!

This man, who once showed her tenderness beneath his aloofness during her childhood, gave her a perfect childhood and dreams, and left her with an unforgettable image—that kind of person—

How could someone who would never harm the world choose to hurt her in that one instant?

However, just as Tsunade finally approached, Shirou Emiya suddenly raised his hand, and the emerald green Chakra Scalpel instantly pierced through Tsunade's chest!

This moment—

Tsunade has become the enemy!

At least for this moment, he will consider Tsunade his enemy!

Fresh blood splattered out along with the emerald green blade of the Chakra Scalpel!

People stared in alarm at the emerald green blade of light that emerged from Tsunade, a flicker of fear crossing everyone's eyes!

"Tsunade!"

"Tsunade!"

"Lord Shirou— "

Tsunade didn't want to pay attention to those people; she just stubbornly tried to raise her head and look at Emiya Tsuchihara.

Tsunade wanted to see if Emiya Tsuchihara's face showed any sadness, to discern if there was any hidden reason behind his actions in hurting her at this moment. However...

There was nothing there.

Shirou Emiya's expression showed no trace of the warmth that once lay beneath his indifference; his face was filled with icy coldness, making it impossible to discern any trace of his former self.

Shirou Emiya gently placed his hand on Tsunade's shoulder. His voice seemed devoid of any remorse for piercing Tsunade's chest with Chakra Scalpel; his cold words were like an even sharper blade that could pierce the heart.

"You, who have only ever seen a single leaf—"

Why stubbornly insist that you've already seen a Sky-Reaching Tree?

"!!!"

Tsunade's heart was like a dam that had been breached in an instant.

"But"

"That doesn't seem so strange."

A hint of confusion appeared in Shirou Emiya's voice, but that confusion quickly turned into a sense of melancholy, as if he had already found the answer to the question, "The single leaf I left in this world is enough to block your eyes."

Splash...

Fresh blood flowed silently...

Tsunade's face was filled with a bitter struggle. She looked down at the emerald green blade of light on her chest, but a glimmer of hope reappeared in her eyes, and her voice suddenly became resolute!

"You're wrong about one thing!"

"Lord Shirou, you're a medical ninja—."

Tsunade grabbed Shirou Emiya's arm, her face showing no pain or struggle!

This woman, now blossoming like a flower in full bloom, even had a hint of excitement in her eyes. "The mistake of piercing the heart in battle should not happen to us."

■

Shirou Emiya frowned, as if he couldn't understand why Tsunade was so fixated on this point at this moment. "Because this is enough to render you incapable of fighting. I only wanted to use your blood for a summoning ritual."

So that the proper channeling cannot be completed because of your death—"

"If this makes you happy—."

"Then you can try to be a little happier."

"Your life and death will soon cease to have any meaning."

Shirou Emiya calmly pulled his fingers away from Tsunade's, watching helplessly as Tsunade, her eyes filled with despair, collapsed beside him. His expression remained calm as he formed hand seals and pressed his bare hands into the air.

"Summoning Technique."

Shirou Emiya used Tsunade's blood to complete the summoning seal, and amidst Tsunade's despairing gaze as she lay on the ground, he completed the summoning Summoning Blood Contract.

This method of psychic communication can only be achieved if the two of them have the same Summoning Contract.

!

Smoke billowed up!

A being instantly appeared from the psychic smoke!

"Wei Yuan-sama!"

I sensed Shirou Emiya's Chakra immediately!

This is the first time in a thousand years...

Shirou Emiya summoned it again!

After eagerly appearing, he looked at Shirou Emiya with some joy, wanting to express his longing, only to see Tsunade lying on the ground.

"Huh? Lady Tsunade? I'll come to heal you—"

"Ignore whether she lives or dies."

Shirou Emiya calmly stopped the movement, his gaze falling on Nagato and Konan: "Go check on their injuries."

"Huh?"

He looked at Emiya Tsuchihara with some disbelief.

When it was being treated by Tsunade, it seemed like the Konoha ninjas were facing Nagato and Konan. Now, it seems like things are a little off.

"They are my companions."

Shirou Emiya raised his eyes slightly.

"Yes, Wei Yuan-sama."

Not daring to ask any more questions, it quickly split into two clones and crawled towards Nagato and Konan.

Tsunade had already heard Shirou Emiya's words. She looked at the departing figure with a helpless expression, and her eyes gradually became empty at this moment.

Shirou Emiya had never said these words to them before.

The man never mentioned anything about companionship to her.

All of this...

It's all true! The Akatsuki really is his organization; the members of the Akatsuki are really his comrades—

"Now"

"Your life or death is truly irrelevant now."

Shirou Emiya looked at Tsunade lying on the ground, slowly raised his arm, and the emerald green Chakra Scalpel seemed about to reappear!

"Tsunade!"

Hashirama Senju and the others were shocked and tried to rush towards Shirou Emiya!

If what just happened was an accident, then no one would doubt that Shirou Emiya wanted to kill Tsunade now!

However··

They are too far apart!

Even the Flying Thunder God Technique requires a medium!

The person who came closest rushed over as soon as Tsunade was injured!

"Tsunade!"

Jiraiya lunged towards Shirou Emiya. He looked at Tsunade, whose face was full of confusion and pain, and his heart was filled with anger and pain!

"You bastard—"

Jiraiya and glared at Shirou Emiya, then gripped the Rasengan and slammed it into Shirou Emiya's chest!

"Do you know?"

"Tsunade has always admired you!"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger towards Shirou Emiya, and the Rasengan in his hand was imbued with his furious attack!

Tsunade has always regarded Emiya Tsuchihara, the great medical ninja, as her emotional support since childhood, and even as the most important person in her life. How could this guy treat Tsunade like this!

How could this be? This is destroying Tsunade's world!

However··

Jiraiya truly fought against Shirou Emiya an enemy will he truly feel the gap between them!

Shirou Emiya dodged the Rasengan, grabbed Jiraiya's wrist, and instantly struck Jiraiya's chest with his elbow, slamming him to the ground!

"Puff-"

Jiraiya immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, disregarding his injuries, the tall and strong man slammed his palm on the ground, his eyes burning with anger as if he had become the boy he once was!

The man glared angrily at Shirou Emiya and demanded sharply, "Tsunade has always dreamed of becoming a medical ninja like you, and has always tried to emulate you."

"Unfortunately, I'm not the same person I used to be—"

Shirou Emiya wouldn't even lift his eyes, nor would he spare Jiraiya a glance. "Why should I praise a narrow-minded person who can't understand my true thoughts for her superficial imitation?"

Jiraiya forced himself to suppress the blood that was about to spill from his chest.

A strange, bitter smile appeared on Tsunade's lips.

Despite all that he has done, he remains a narrow-minded person who cannot understand him.

"Xiao Gang."

Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage who was once a close friend, looked at his granddaughter with some heartache.

Anyone who has ever seen how much Shirou Emiya doted on Tsunade when she was a child would not believe that Shirou Emiya would one day hurt Tsunade.

But·

All of this has already happened.

The next moment!

The First Hokage clenched his fist tightly!

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, glared angrily at Shirou Emiya, who was walking towards them!

However, when Hashirama Senju's gaze fell upon Shirou Emiya, his anger instantly transformed into a sense of helplessness, causing him to once again feel the pain of parting ways with his closest friend. "Why did it turn out like this?"

A hint of pain flickered in Hashirama Senju's eyes, as if he were muttering to himself, or questioning everything before him. "Why did it turn out like this?"

Hashirama Senju was overcome with sadness, unable to contain his emotions. He thought of his younger brother, whom he had always relied on since childhood, and muttered, "Tobirama, tell me... why did Lord Shirou become like this? The Lord Shirou we've known in the past was never someone who would hurt others—"

Tobirama Senju's eyes slowly lowered.

"Tobirama?"

Hashirama Senju didn't hear a reply from his younger brother, which subconsciously made him feel a little strange.

Because her younger brother never refuses to answer any of her questions.

Even if the answer is contrary to his own thoughts, his younger brother never hesitates to tell the answer.

"Etc-"

Hashirama Senju abruptly turned to look at his younger brother, Tobirama Senju, noticing the grave expression on his face.

Finally realizing something strange that he didn't know, he asked incredulously, "Tobirama, do you know something?"
