Feeling the burning sensation in his abdomen, Tsunade's expression suddenly changed.

It had not been Past long since she had just escaped from the Tsukuyomi Genjutsu of light. This feeling suddenly reminded her of some of her experiences in Genjutsu.

Again, Tsunade did not encounter any substantial abnormal encounters in Tsukuyomi's Genjutsu dream.

Then why did she react like this, and why was it too late to leave if she was too late?

There is a psychological experiment called "Pavlov's dog".

Every time before food is given to the dog, a bell will ring or a red light will turn on. Over time, even if there is no food, as long as the bell rings or the red light turns on, the dog will begin to salivate.

For example, when a country was plagued by bears, a clever expert suggested that students wear bells, believing that ringing the bells would scare away the bears.

As a result, not only did the bell not scare away the bears, but every time the bell rang, the bears thought it was time to eat and came to eat people.

This situation is a conditioned reflex at the psychological level, an automatic reaction that does not require thinking, so even humans who are intelligent creatures will find it difficult to resist when faced with it.

Essentially, it connects two seemingly unrelated things.

And Tsunade experienced this connection in Genjutsu.

She became Pavlov's dog.

The scariest thing is that these two things are not unrelated.

Even though Tsunade, as Medical Ninja, does not have a deep understanding of the psychological level, he still discovered the problem by analogy.

That's why Tsunade was a little scared. She almost developed a conditioned reflex called "When I think of you, I go oh ".

But now, Tsunade felt the burning heat in her abdomen and suddenly remembered it again.

But...

"Huh?"

Tsunade touched the towel strap tied around his waist and found that the stone had disappeared.

After tearing off the strap, sure enough the stone did not fall.

Is this integrated into her body?

Before Tsunade could think about it, a more intense feeling began to spread.

After she turned on Hundred Healings Technique, her body was covered with black textures caused by the sudden increase in Chakra after turning on Strength of a Hundred Seal: Release.

These black textures are essentially a Chakra transport channel that quickly and safely transports the Chakra stored in Yin Seal throughout the body.

But now, the black texture on Tsunade's body began to turn golden, starting from the abdomen and moving towards the surrounding areas.

The Natural Energy contained in the stone given by Shirozumi seems to be competing for control with the Chakra stored in Tsunade Yin Seal.

As it gets closer to Yin Seal's head, the spread of the golden texture gradually begins to slow down. On the contrary, the arms that are further away are completely covered.

During this period, Tsunade's body was naturally being torn apart and reorganized by Creation Rebirth, which was extremely painful.

Tsunade is worthy of being Three Legendary Sannin who came off the battlefield, but he didn't say a word.

Watching the black texture on Tsunade's body gradually being covered by golden light, Shirozumi felt as if he was watching Illidan, the son of light and darkness, being infused with holy light by the Naaru.

It felt like Tsunade was going to shout "I decide my own destiny" in the next second, and then punch him.

But nothing of the kind happened.

Before the arrival of Shirozumi, there was no such person as Illidan in the entire Shinobi World, who was the chosen son and savior, but rejected this identity and believed that "we can only save ourselves."

All people are slaves of fate.

Even in the Boruto period, the real "intelligence Jiraiya", the Kashin Koji who possesses the magical power [Shifang] and can see clearly the so-called "all future possibilities", are just slaves of fate.

--

"Huh? Ah? Lady Tsunade, are you okay?"

Shizune had been keeping a close eye on Tsunade's condition, and suddenly noticed something abnormal in Tsunade's body. He immediately shouted anxiously, and looked at Shirozumi, as if asking if he could stop.

"I'm fine."

Tsunade is still holding on.

She looked down at her hands and understood why Shizune shouted.

The skin on her hands suddenly became wrinkled and shriveled, a sign of aging.

The strange thing is that Tsunade did not feel any signs of exhaustion, the pain did not subside, and his body was still at its peak.

Tsunade is clear. If she consumes almost all the Chakra in Yin Seal, then the youthful appearance she maintains with this will also disappear.

So why?

Is it because the Chakra in Yin Seal is gradually being swallowed up by the Natural Energy spreading out of the Shirozumi stone?

Tsunade While thinking about the reason, he had already found a corner, turned around, lowered his head and squatted on the ground.

Obviously, Tsunade doesn't want people to see her getting older.

Now her limbs are just starting to look older, and there is a high chance that her body and face will also change later.

Tsunade doesn't want others to see her getting older, which is reasonable.

Even the author Kishimoto doesn't want the audience to see Tsunade getting older.

Shirozumi has no curiosity about this.

On the contrary, Tsunade's current situation made Shirozumi suddenly think of another question.

"Tsunade, have you ever looked in the mirror and seen what you look like when you get older?"

Shirozumi asked.

"... No, what's wrong?"

After Tsunade was silent for a while, still squatting in the corner with his back on his back, he answered Shirozumi's question.

In fact, Tsunade not only has never seen how he looks when he gets older, but rather, he has never changed back since he thought of using Yin Seal to maintain his youthful appearance.

Tsunade grew old twice in the original novel, once when Pain invaded, and once when Five Kage vs Edo Madara.

All because of the need to treat other people, Chakra was exhausted.

Not running out of Chakra, maintaining appearance is actually a passive skill for Tsunade.

Tsunade also said personally that she stays young from the inside out, not just from the outside.

In other words, my physical condition is also at its peak when I was young.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to imagine why Tsunade would change himself back.

Just then, problems arise.

Pain's invasion was okay, Tsunade's performance after exhaustion, that half of his face was about the same age as Jiraiya.

But in the battle with Madara Uchiha, that half face was very scary.

You know, Tsunade's real age is in his fifties.

What is the concept of being over fifty?

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, who were released by Impure World Reincarnation, are about the same age.

Look at the last half of Tsunade's face in the battle with Madara Uchiha.

Is this definitely fifty years old?

I feel older than Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is nearly seventy years old.

If you have to find someone with whom you can compare ages, only the 90-year-old Ōnoki in the Boruto period has a similar degree of aging.

Yin Seal and Chakra can make the body younger. Logically speaking, even if Chakra is exhausted, it will at best return to its original appearance.

How can you get older?

This reminded Shirozumi of another similar character.
