Konoha's Scarlet Flower Moon

The morning wind was blowing, and Tsunade leaned against the window, looking up into the distance.

There was no emotion on her face, but Jiraiya knew that he was definitely looking for the wrong topic about the rope tree.

In fact, Jiraiya's reason for staying in the Land of Rain is the same as Tsunade's almost silent behavior at this time.

Behind the name of every famous ninja, there are hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of lives that were harvested and taken away by them.

Are these people who were killed innocent? not necessarily.

But is the murderer really indifferent? Even less so.

Just like the first time Hanayue killed a little rabbit that would be used as food, she would feel uncomfortable.

How can someone kill someone and not be touched at all?

War is a shadow that hangs over everyone's mind.

Civilians can be affected, die, and lose everything in the war at any time.

And war is an even more complicated existence for the ninja group that hosts them.

It is said that ninjas are warlike because they are born to fight...

Such words are the biggest curse to this group!

……

For ninjas who were forced to turn themselves into tools in war and erase their human emotions, when they mechanically took away the lives of their "enemy", they were also erasing their own "human" feelings. Part of it?

The psychological trauma caused by such an experience is, to some extent, equivalent to the pain of losing a loved one.

Are you still a human being? Can I still be loved, can I still love others? Can they still show their gentle side and protect the people important to them?

This is a question that all ninjas will have after surviving.

Want to find salvation!

……

Jiraiya chose to stay in the Land of Rain for three years and teach several war orphans.

Orochimaru began some research on eternal life.

Tsunade pushed herself until she got hemophobia.

At that time, Tsunade, who was in the most vulnerable stage of her life, could no longer face everything she was familiar with and had given up on herself in a sense.

But fortunately, Huayue's existence gave her a sense of redemption.

……

For children who are born and grow up in peaceful times in the future, they may no longer be able to understand the hesitation of Tsunade and Jiraiya when facing some life and emotional choices. This is something that only their generation can share. Hurt.

People who are more afraid of losing love are more afraid of establishing close relationships.

Unable to speak.

The war took away from them something called security.

……

After a moment of silence, Tsunade stared at Jiraiya, who looked like he would need two or three days to recover before he could move freely.

She no longer asked him about the bad things that happened yesterday and today, and directly gave him the task of taking care of Huayue all afternoon.

Is it okay for Jiraiya, who is seriously injured, to look at a "well-behaved" child all afternoon?

Before coming to Jiraiya this morning, Tsunade had already obtained the Grass Country Pass.

In order to control Hanayue's blood disease, they came to this small town and went to the Country of Grass to find the only missing medicine - Moon Grass.

It's just that the terrain where Moon Grass grows is too steep.

Tsunade never thought of taking Hanazuki to pick this herb at this time. And her previous worries about not being able to get Huayue to go to the cliff with her have been solved.

Tsunade was worried about letting the Anbu ordered by the Third Generation to accompany them to guard Kagetsu alone. Who knew if there were any minions of Danzo among these people.

The seriously injured Jiraiya appeared somewhat timely.

Doesn't he like to recruit disciples?

Kagetsu was able to be by Jiraiya's side just in time to do a new chakra control training that Tsunade had come up with - throwing dice.

This is a training that involves distributing chakra and throwing two dice into the same number.

It seems simple, but this requires more sophisticated chakra manipulation.

Kagetsu, who was very obedient in front of Tsunade, after learning about this training, looked at Tsunade with her big black eyes, as if asking, is this really going on?
