A Year Gone By, and Ambiguity with Tsunade

A year passed slowly, like a tranquil river silently carrying away every trace of the past.

During that year, Uchiha Feng spent his days with Sasuke and Naruto.

At night, he quietly made his way to the back mountain of Konoha, patiently guiding Neji Hyuga and helping him continuously surpass himself.

In his spare time, Feng did not forget to improve himself, researching all kinds of ninjutsu—especially bloodline limits such as Wood Release and Dust Release—in the hope of finding more possibilities in the ninja world.

Fortunately, after relentless effort, he actually succeeded in fusing Wood Release and Dust Release, and a surge of accomplishment and joy rose within him.

However, the thing that surprised him most that year was Tsunade's frequent visits.

She showed up almost every so often to draw his blood. Feng had long since grown used to the process.

When he counted it up, she had drawn his blood more than twenty times that year. They had agreed on once a month at first!

Recently, the frequency of her visits had clearly increased, gradually bringing Feng and Tsunade closer together and deepening their unspoken understanding.

Tsunade was a domineering, violent, tsundere woman, and her impressive twin peaks were even more unforgettable. She could practically be called the "largest bust in the Hokage world"; perhaps no one in the entire ninja world could rival her. Whenever Feng thought of her, complicated feelings would rise in his heart—regret, along with a hint of indescribable attraction.

That day, Tsunade came to Uchiha Feng's home once again.

Uchiha Feng could not help curling his lip, his face full of helplessness. "Don't tell me you're here to draw blood again? Come on, old woman, I'm perfectly healthy. There's no need to draw my blood at all!" His tone carried a hint of teasing, as though he did not care about her status in the slightest.

"Brat! What did you call me?" Tsunade's face instantly darkened, her brows knitting as she grew so angry that she wanted to punch him. "I came to bring you medicine this time! Medicine to treat your little brother's Bloodline Disease! If you don't want it, then forget it. I'm leaving!"

"No, no, no..." Uchiha Feng immediately put on a flattering expression, anxiety flashing in his eyes. "Big Sister Tsunade, Sister Tsunade, leave the medicine behind. You have to give me the medicine!"

Tsunade suddenly narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Uchiha Feng with a piercing gaze. Her voice held a trace of seriousness. "It's not that I can't give you the medicine, but you need to understand that this is not a short course of treatment. It has to be taken continuously for ten years before the Bloodline Disease can be completely eradicated."

Uchiha Feng frowned, looking somewhat confused. "Oh? What do you mean?"

Tsunade explained patiently, "Simply put, the medicine needs to be taken once a month on schedule for the next ten years. During those ten years, it will continuously suppress the symptoms of the Bloodline Disease. Only after taking it for the full ten years might the illness be eradicated. But I have to remind you, those ten years are only an estimate based on my past experience. The actual duration may vary. It might be cured in seven or eight years, or it might take eleven, twelve, or even longer. It depends on your brother's constitution."

Uchiha Feng sighed softly and looked up at Tsunade, helplessness in his voice. "All right. I understand. Give me the medicine."

A faint smile curled Tsunade's lips as she reached out and handed him the bottle. It was an exquisite little vial, and through the clear glass, he could see twelve pills neatly arranged inside. It was a whole year's supply, enough to show how seriously she took this.

She lightly licked her lips, a sly glint flashing in her eyes as though she were plotting something. "Little Feng, do you remember the three conditions I mentioned before?"

Uchiha Feng froze for a moment, confusion appearing on his face. "Of course I remember. What is it? Is there something you want to say?"

Tsunade smiled slightly, her gaze firm and profound, her tone serious. "Of course. I want to make my first request. Let me bite you, and you can't push me away."

Uchiha Feng was stunned for a moment, bewilderment showing in his expression. "Let you bite me? Why does that sound like a joke? What do you mean?"

A hint of mischief appeared in Tsunade's smile as she said seriously, "Listen carefully, Uchiha Feng. From now on, you must let me bite you unconditionally. You cannot refuse, no matter how many times or for how long. This is permanent!"

"This... bite me? Are you serious?" Uchiha Feng frowned. What is this woman thinking? Has she gone crazy?

Tsunade remained unmoved, her gaze as firm as ever. "Are you agreeing or not?"

Uchiha Feng helplessly waved a hand, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Fine, fine! I agree, all right? Stop looking at me like that. It makes me feel like there's no way to escape."

At that moment, Tsunade slowly walked toward Uchiha Feng. Her steps were light yet resolute, and each one seemed to heighten the tension in the air. Her gaze was focused and burning, as if some invisible force were drawing them closer together.

Suddenly, she hugged Uchiha Feng without warning, startling him badly. Her cheek pressed tightly against his neck, as though she feared he might run away. Then, without hesitation, she sank her teeth into him.

"Huh? What are you doing?? Hey, hey, hey?" Uchiha Feng's eyes widened, panic surging through him as he could not help wondering whether the person before him was really Tsunade.

Still, Tsunade's body was truly soft, springy, and comfortable. More than ten seconds later, Uchiha Feng finally realized the seriousness of the situation. "Old woman, what are you doing? You're sucking my blood? Damn! Have you lost your mind? Let go of me, stop sucking!"

Several more seconds passed, yet Uchiha Feng still saw Tsunade immersed in sucking his blood, and the anger in his heart gradually rose. Anxiety gripped him, and he decided to take stronger measures. He abruptly reached out and tightly grabbed Tsunade's twin peaks, using no small amount of force.

"Stop sucking! Wake up!" Uchiha Feng shouted, a trace of desperation in his voice.

Yet Tsunade seemed completely unaware of his cries. Instead, she sucked even more eagerly, as though her soul had become tightly bound to the taste of his blood.

Without realizing it, Uchiha Feng's hands had slipped beneath Tsunade's clothes. Feeling her warmth and softness, his mind became a mess. His fingers moved across her skin as he tried to wake her, while forcefully squeezing the places he should not have been squeezing.

"Old woman, wake up! You're going to suck me dry!" Anxiety filled his heart, and helplessness and fury mingled in his voice. He nearly wanted to turn his emotions into strength and drag Tsunade back from this bizarre state into reality.

Only now did he finally understand what she had meant by letting her bite him. He regretted agreeing to it more than anything.
