Tsunade stared at the little snake in Lin Mu's hand, uncertainty and alarm stirring in her heart.
Orochimaru was becoming more mysterious by the day. He could even employ such bizarre methods.
Had Lin Mu not possessed Sage Mode and its extraordinarily powerful perception, this little snake might have killed him outright.
It had been only a few centimeters from his heart!
"Now that the threat has been dealt with, go home and recover. Your Wood Style Body gives you incredible regenerative power. I'll come find you if anything comes up."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade!"
Like Shizune, Lin Mu addressed Tsunade as "Lady."
It was a sign of respect.
Tsunade had always been a character Lin Mu loved. Both her looks and her strength were beyond reproach.
After becoming the Fifth Hokage, she had poured her heart and soul into the role, giving it everything she had!
Lin Mu's chakra surged, and a faint glow appeared around the wound in his chest.
Sss...
With a faint sound of flesh knitting together, the gash gradually closed, returning to its original state.
"What incredible regenerative power!"
Watching from the side, Shizune marveled at the sight.
A proud look appeared on Tsunade's face.
"Of course. The Senju Clan naturally possesses tremendous vitality. With his Wood Style Body, Lin Mu should be exceptional even among them!"
At Tsunade's praise, Lin Mu scratched his head bashfully.
"The Wood Style Body has powerful regenerative abilities, but it also consumes quite a bit of chakra."
Her praise did not go to his head. He knew the Wood Style Body was not a flawless constitution.
Uchiha Madara had once said that no one could kill Senju Hashirama on the battlefield.
That was because Senju Hashirama had fully developed his Wood Style Body and reached the pinnacle of senjutsu mastery.
