"I'm so bored! I'm so bored!"
Tsunade, you're suffocating me!
Tsunade after hearing Mukai's voice.
Mukai looked at Tsunade with lingering fear. Oh my god, he almost became a ninja who suffocated from face wash.
Tsunade, somewhat embarrassed, subtly wiped her face, relaxed, and sat back down in her chair, saying to Mukai:
" Mukai- kun, you are truly an amazing ninja."
Within your sea of consciousness, I can sense that extraordinary power.
"Let me see Nagato! I think we have a basis for an alliance."
Mukai nodded and Tsunade to Nagato's room.
In just a few days, Nagato had become noticeably thinner, and Kari and Yakushi Nonō were taking turns using Mystical Palm Technique to heal Nagato injuries.
Seeing how proficient Kari was in using the Mystical Palm Technique, Tsunade raised an eyebrow:
"To be so proficient in the Mystical Palm Technique at such a young age, you're quite talented. Nonō, is this your apprentice?"
Yakushi Nonō had already received Mukai's notification. She adjusted her glasses and said:
" Lady Tsunade, I only have a superficial understanding of Medical Ninjutsu. Kari learned the Mystical Palm Technique from Lady Tsunade."
"With me?" Tsunade couldn't recall ever teaching this little girl, but Shizune, who had followed her, whispered a reminder to her.
"Oh, so the daimyo of the Land of Rivers learned how to use it after only seeing me use it once?"
This talent does have the flair I had back in the day.
Mukai, let her learn from me from now on.
Nagato, this is a sign of excessive Chakra depletion and the end of your life force. Using Mystical Palm Technique alone won't help.
Let me give it a try!
Tsunade sensed Nagato's condition, then put two fingers together and used Chakra Scalpel to slash open Nagato's stomach!
Just as Kari was about to exclaim, Yakushi Nonō covered her mouth.
Even Mukai was taken aback, as Tsunade suffers from hemophobia!
He was about to step forward to stop her when he saw Tsunade merely sway slightly, steadily controlling the Chakra Scalpel with one hand, and using the Mystical Palm Technique with the other to stop the bleeding.
Even Shizune was extremely surprised; Tsunade, covered in blood, wasn't trembling at all!
Tsunade and controlled the wound, using the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique to draw out the blood clots and necrotic tissue from Nagato's abdomen.
Once the blood turned bright red, she stopped the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique. She breathed a sigh of relief, bit her finger, and slapped it onto the ground as Hand Seals.
" Summoning Technique!"
As the white smoke dissipated, a blue and white Katsuyu appeared in the Summoning Technique.
" Lady Tsunade, what do you need me to do?"
Tsunade wiped the sweat from her brow and said to the Katsuyu:
"Help me maintain the activity of my internal organs."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
The Katsuyu transformed its Chakra into healing energy and delivered it into Nagato's stomach.
Tsunade, now freed, solemnly Hand Seals:
" The Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique!"
As the Ninjutsu was completed, a continuous stream of life force flowed into Nagato's body.
The Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique is an A-rank Ninjutsu, normally requiring more than ten medical-nin skilled in Yang Release to perform it together.
While stimulating wound healing with Yang Release Chakra, it can also transfer life force to the injured.
This highly demanding technique was executed by Tsunade alone.
As the Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique was applied, Nagato's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.
My breathing gradually returned to normal.
Soon, the wound on Nagato's stomach had completely healed, as if he had just fallen asleep.
"Okay, go to sleep for a while, you'll wake up tomorrow morning."
Tsunade took the towel Shizune handed her, and said as she dried her hands.
Mukai and said:
"Truly worthy of Tsunade, I shall call you the strongest medical genius!"
Because of their experiences in the sea of consciousness, Tsunade and Mukai are in a very peculiar state.
She made no attempt to be shy, coming over and ruffling Mukai's hair:
"I've finished my work, but it's only a temporary fix. I need to find someone skilled in Sealing Jutsu to assist me."
Could you provide a sturdier, more spacious venue, Mukai?
Faced with Tsunade's grinning Tsunade, Mukai inexplicably shrank back. Could this violent woman be planning revenge for the face wash she'd just used?
Oasis Fortress, most of the original Iron Sand hills have been cut away.
Tsunade stood on the Iron Sand, arms crossed.
Soon, accompanied by two puffs of white smoke, Orochimaru and Jiraiya appeared in front of Tsunade.
"Heh heh, what a rare guest, Tsunade. This is the first time you've summoned me using reverse summoning."
Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out first.
Jiraiya, standing to the side, leered at Tsunade's chest and let out a burp.
"Hey! Tsunade, I'm having drinks and discussing life with a girl. We're about to go to the battlefield, so let's take this time to relax."
What's the rush? Did the old man ask you to help too?
Tsunade clenched her fist and stepped forward to Orochimaru:
"If it hurts, bear with it, don't let me beat you to death!"
boom!
Tsunade's monstrous strike sent Orochimaru flying more than ten meters, leaving a deep chasm in his wake.
Tsunade a Body Flicker Technique, the Iron Sand beneath her feet cracking open, and she appeared in front of Orochimaru. Her fists flew, punching Orochimaru as she spoke:
Why is the mastermind behind the Nawaki incident keeping it from me?
Are you afraid I'm no Danzo for Danzo?
Or do you also want to collude with Danzo?
Tsunade only beat them; she did not use her superhuman strength.
Orochimaru didn't even flinch, letting Tsunade.
Only after Tsunade stopped did he touch his broken neck and say in a low voice:
" Tsunade, you did the right thing. It was my fault for not protecting Nawaki."
During that time, I began to question the meaning of life.
If Mukai hadn't pulled me out of that predicament, I probably would have already fallen into darkness, hehe.
Tsunade extended her palm and used her palm technique to heal Orochimaru's injuries.
"The past is settled today, Orochimaru. I need your help."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she walked towards Jiraiya, whose cheeks were flushed.
" Tsunade, I..."
Tsunade stretched her arms and then delivered a heavy punch to Jiraiya!
Jiraiya, with his spiky white hair, tumbled and flew out.
"Idiot! Big idiot!"
We're all big idiots!
As she spoke, Tsunade punched herself hard!
Even with her special physical condition, this heavy punch still left her face covered in blood.
She was about to fight again when two figures arrived in an instant. Orochimaru and Jiraiya each grabbed one of Tsunade's arms.
" Tsunade, have you gone mad?"
Tsunade's face was filled with relief:
"The three of us are all idiots! The biggest idiots in the world!"
"So many years! Someone who spends all day writing mediocre novels..."
They're spying on me all over the world, shouting that they're chasing me, but they don't even know what I'm most afraid of or what I hate most!
The other one is obsessed with those disgusting forbidden techniques and is even colluding with Root!
Are you trying to make yourself look like a monster?
You big idiot!
She shook off the two men, her voice echoing on the cliff:
"Watching me become addicted to gambling, watching me escape reality, watching me cling to the past and refuse to let go!"
Are you just going to stand by and watch?
These are the Sannin? We're not legends of the Shinobi World, we're a joke!
Are you still my allies?
Jiraiya grimaced and argued:
" Tsunade, I... I just didn't want to pressure you..."
Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"You, immersed in grief, are also a reflection of life's fragility, and I..."
"Shut up!"
Tsunade sternly interrupted their explanations:
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense right now! I've seen Nawaki and Dan Katō!"
It was right there in Mukai's consciousness space.
These words startled both Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
"However, that is not their soul, it is just their last obsession, and Mukai Xiangjun is just the object of their obsession."
That's not the whole picture, I know.
Tsunade's tone lowered, carrying a clarity born from profound pain:
"But that obsession was enough for me to understand that the deaths of Nawaki and Broken were not solely the fault of the war!"
There's an unseen force at play behind it all, a cancer festering within Konoha itself!
She looked intently at the two of them:
I want to know the truth!
Why was Nawaki's body stolen? Where did his internal organs go?
Was Duan's death truly just a random mission failure?
Who would know so much about the Spirit Transformation Technique!
Danzo, and our teacher—where is his courage?
What dirty secrets are still hidden at the Root of Konoha?
"Are you still going to pretend you don't know about Hatake Sakumo's death?"
"I only have one question: are we still teammates?"
