Overbearing Healing
"You brat!"
Tsunade roared angrily.
She stomped on the floor, shattering her wooden clogs, and shot towards Naruto like a cannonball.
His right fist, accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air, hurtled straight towards Naruto's cheek.
The surrounding air distorted under that punch.
Jiraiya was shocked and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Naruto turned around, his left hand still in his pocket, his right hand casually raised.
With his index and middle fingers together, he firmly gripped Tsunade's fist.
The raging storm rippled outwards from the two of them.
A dozen or so gambling tables around the area were overturned, and the thugs were pressed against the wall by the wind pressure.
Naruto stood still, not taking even half a step back.
Golden hair danced wildly in the wind, and azure eyes looked down at Tsunade.
Tsunade and tried to press her fist forward.
It remained completely still.
This brat's physical strength is actually even more formidable than her Monster Strength.
"Just say you can't accept defeat."
Naruto loosened his two fingers and casually flicked the back of his hand.
Using the Tsunade took three steps back, barely managing to regain her footing.
The casino owner, lying on the ground nearby, covered his mouth, his fingers filled with bright red blood.
Blood dripped onto the floor, a glaringly red color.
Tsunade's gaze swept over the pool of blood, and her movements suddenly froze.
Her lips lost their color, and her shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
His breathing became extremely rapid.
The blood of the Nawaki, the blood of a broken tree.
Things hidden deep in my memory surged up uncontrollably.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune rushed forward, carrying Tonton- Ton, and stood in front of Tsunade, shouting, "Don't look!"
Naruto dusted off his hands and walked over step by step.
"He's been running away for twenty years."
Naruto's voice was calm and his words were clear, "You, carrying the Nawaki and the broken shackles, hid in the casino pretending to be dead. You lost every bet and avoided every bloodshed. Is this the backbone of the First Hokage's granddaughter?"
Tsunade covered her ears and collapsed to the ground.
"Don't say anymore..." her voice trembled.
Jiraiya sighed and strode closer, "Naruto, that's enough, her Hemophobia..."
Naruto ignored Jiraiya and knelt down in front of Tsunade.
He yanked the Shizune away and grabbed Tsunade's trembling wrist with one hand.
Tsunade instinctively tried to struggle.
A surge of intensely warm and powerful Chakra flowed from Naruto's palm, forcefully penetrating her meridians.
That was the purest Yang Release life force of Perfect Uzumaki Sage Body.
This power, like the blazing sun melting ice and snow, forcefully dispersed the Chakra within her body that had been disrupted by fear, and incidentally soothed the trembling at her nerve endings.
Tsunade stopped trembling.
She looked up, staring blankly at the wrist that Naruto was holding.
That warmth, that utterly unreasonable vitality, was far more advanced than any Medical Ninjutsu she had ever seen.
Your life is now mine.
Naruto gripped her wrist, pressing his thumb firmly against her pulse. "If I can heal you, then I can use you. Starting tomorrow, stay by my side. You don't need to wear it at night, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
A mechanical system voice echoed in Naruto's mind.
[Target: Tsunade Senju | Affection +25 (Current: 25) | Stage: Wavering/Crack]
[Note: The target's psychological defenses have structurally collapsed. It is recommended that the host strike while the iron is hot.]
Naruto's lips curled into a smile as he released his grip and stood up.
He turned to look at the shadow at the end of the second-floor corridor.
"If you've seen enough, then get out here. Or is it that Orochimaru doesn't even have the courage to face anyone?"
Behind the railing on the second floor of the casino, ripples appeared in the air.
The Kabuto Yakushi reflective round-framed glasses and closed the notebook in his hand.
Orochimaru was dressed in a loose kimono, his long hair flowing over his shoulders. His snake-like tongue licked his lips, and a hoarse chuckle came from his throat.
"What a perfect body, Naruto-kun. I wonder whose debt we can settle first?"
Orochimaru's hoarse chuckle from the second floor still echoed in the air, but the casino owner, trapped under the broken planks, hadn't given up.
His face was covered in blood, and out of the corner of his Tsunade's breathing, which had just been calmed, and his eyes twitched.
He swung his hand forcefully behind his back, and a guard ninja silently pushed out a bloodstained dagger from behind the hidden door.
The blade slid across the floor, leaving a glaring red trail as it headed straight for Tsunade.
This pack of vicious dogs, who roam the black market, attempted to use their true blood to completely trigger Tsunade's illness and escape in the chaos.
The smell of blood filled my nostrils.
Tsunade's gaze involuntarily fixed on the dark red of the blade. Her breathing, which had just calmed down, became erratic again, her chest heaving violently. Her heels instinctively took a half step back, knocking over the wooden chair behind her.
Shizune flashed in Shizune's eyes. She hugged Tonton tightly, spread her arms wide, and stood firmly in front of Tsunade. Her throat tightened, but she couldn't utter a single harsh word.
She knew that if Tsunade lost control, the entire Tanzaku Town would turn into a battlefield tonight.
Jiraiya's expression darkened, and he was about to Hand Seals.
A military boot landed firmly on the hilt of the knife with terrifying force.
Naruto put one hand in his pocket, and Yang Release Chakra surged out from beneath his feet like a raging fire.
The intense heat of pure Yang energy spread along the blade, and with a soft "hiss," the dark red bloodstains on the blade completely evaporated under the high temperature, turning into smoke and dissipating.
The boss's vicious scheme was crushed on the spot before it even made a ripple.
Naruto flicked his toe, kicking the broken blade into the wall, where it sank an inch deep.
He pulled out a thick wad of banknotes he had won from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and they rained down on the casino owner's face like a shower of flowers, the edges of the bills scratching the owner's cheekbone.
"Take your medical expenses. Any extra will be considered compensation for emotional distress."
Naruto looked down at his opponent, a palpable killing intent surging in his azure eyes, like a rusty hammer slamming into the boss's skull without reservation. "Get out of here, you eyesores. If I look at you one more time, you'll all be dead."
That was the killing intent that had truly crushed Kage Level powerhouses and precipitated from countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The boss's body reacted before his brain; his knees buckled, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He hurriedly scrambled through the banknotes with trembling hands, gesturing for his subordinates to scramble out of the private room.
Amidst the chaos, Shizune's grip on Tonton tightened and loosened again.
She gazed at the not-so-broad but steady figure before her, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Over the years, she had met countless noble families and high-ranking officials from powerful ninja villages, but never had anyone been able to use the most unreasonable and domineering attitude to shield Lady Tsunade most disheveled and helpless moment.
[Ding! Target detected: Shizune | Affection +40 (Current: 40) | Stage: Strong Admiration - Reassessment]
[Triggering Condition: The host's domineering protective behavior triggers a strong sense of security in the target + hormonal surge]
The system's mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
Naruto turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Shizune's reddened ears, and said lazily, "Keep the bill under Uzumaki's name. From now on, don't pay for gamblers."
