Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

Pei Wu·Hungry Ghost Path, hugged Shizue from behind.

"Swish!" In almost an instant, the hungry ghost realm's devouring absorbed all of her chakra!

Perrin broke free from Shizune's limp arms, her small hands covered with the green light of medical ninjutsu, stroking the neck that was scratched by the kunai, then turned to face Shizune, "This is really too much."

"How could this happen? Who are you?" Jingyin bent forward, unable to exert any strength in her body. If Pei Wu hadn't supported her from behind, she would not have been able to stand.

"Swish!" Using medical ninjutsu, Perrin repaired the wound on her neck, put down her hand, and said, "I can only say that I can understand your thoughts, but I cannot agree with your actions, Miss Shizune."

"So, what should I do with you?"

Shizune was fearless: "You can kill me or chop me up as you please, but don't even think about getting the antidote for your poison!"

Perrin narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Hehe... It seems that you still don't understand the situation."

Even after knowing that he was poisoned, he was still so calm.

Shizune was shocked: "Could it be that... you are immune to toxins!?"

"That's right, but the reward is only death." Perrin shook her wrist and a kunai fell into her hand.

"Damn it, I'm so ugly. I've brought shame to Lady Tsunade..." Shizune closed her eyes in pain.

"Wait!!!" Tsunade shouted while running. She noticed that Shizune's expression was not right before she left the house, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Xiaonan frowned and raised her hand to stop her.

Perrin said, "There's no need for that. She'll be defeated without a fight."

"Snap!" As soon as she finished speaking, she stabbed the kunai in her hand into Jingyin's abdomen, and the latter's eyes suddenly widened.

"!?" Tsunade's steps, which had just approached, stopped abruptly.

Behind Jingyin, Pei Wu loosened his hands and retreated quietly.

Perrin drew out her kunai and jumped back to Konan's side.

"Tsunade... Lady!!" Shizune covered the wound on her abdomen that was gurgling with blood, staggered forward, and fell into Tsunade's arms.

"Shizune!!" Tsunade wanted to hold her up... but she had no strength! !

In the end, all he could do was watch Shizune...fall at his feet.

"I'm sorry... please run away!" When her weak words rang out, Tsunade was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground.

Feeling the stickiness in her palms, she raised her hands tremblingly. The deep red that filled her vision made her pupils dilate violently, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably...

—“Ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhhhh… NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

"This is……"

"This is hemophobia. The generalized fear will cause her to have a mental breakdown whenever she sees her. For a ninja, this is a fatal flaw."

Konan said sadly, "I never thought that Tsunade, one of the three ninjas who was as famous as Jiraiya-sensei, would fall to such a state."

At this time, under Xiaonan's surprised gaze, Perrin walked forward.

"Tsunade, if you use medical ninjutsu right now, she might still be saved."

Tsunade had no time to think about why the person who had hurt her disciple like that would remind her at this moment.

At this time, she had already turned Shizune over, but her hands were shaking, and she couldn't even complete the simplest seal...

"It's already too late. I... can't do it!! I can't do it at all!!!"

Tsunade put her hands down in despair and shed tears of despair.

"I'm sorry, Duan... Not only did I fail to save you, I couldn't even save your only relative in this world!"

Perrin said, "Is it really impossible? From my point of view, you are just running away."

"You said I... ran away?" Tsunade looked at her angrily, "What do you know about my affairs? You are a wicked fellow! Stop talking nonsense here!! Either end my life, or take that pendant that will only bring misfortune!!! Get out of my sight!!!"

Perrin said: "I know your story very well. You were not able to save your lover, Kato Dan, and you are left with a psychological trauma, right? It's a psychological disease called 'hemophobia'!"

"You..." Tsunade was speechless for a moment, and her eyes turned incredulous as she looked at Perrin.

Perrin raised her hand and showed the pendant. "You are right. This pendant is indeed a trap we set for you. However, it is different from what is happening right now."

"If you want to save Shizune, then cheer up and listen to what I'm going to say next!"

Putting away the pendant, she began to speak without waiting for Tsunade's reaction.

"The source of your fear of hemophobia is not so much blood as it is the traumatic memory of death and separation that accompanies blood. More precisely, it is the self-denial and devaluation caused by the traumatic memory!"

"When faced with loss, some people choose not to let the tragedy happen again and rise up, while others develop an escapist mentality and never recover from it. You are obviously the latter!"

"Shut up!" Tsunade lowered her eyes while trembling.

"Deep down in your heart, you know very well that the injuries Kato Dan suffered back then were injuries that could not be healed by medical ninjutsu and could not be changed by human power."

"You know better than me. It was the war that killed them, not their dream of becoming Hokage, and certainly not this pendant."

"So, what are you running away from?"

"Shut up!!!" Tsunade's trembling became even more intense.

"That's right. What you are running away from is the reality that you admire them for pursuing their dreams, but you can't be as resolute as them. You hate yourself for being so weak and humble, and you are afraid of it!!"

"I told you to shut up!!! Did you hear me!!!!"

Tsunade rushed forward and punched Perrin’s mask...!!!

Perrin stared at the fist approaching her: "The best way to overcome fear is to face it."

"Swish!!!" The fist stopped in front of her face, an inch away. The wind from the fist made her golden hair flutter.

Perrin smiled and said, "If you can throw such a powerful punch, then forming a seal shouldn't be a problem, right? Go ahead, I'll keep a close eye on you!"

Tsunade slowly lowered her fist, "You are really a confusing guy, but don't think that I will appreciate your kindness!"

She returned to Shizune's side and stared at her bloody hands, her eyes trembling but gradually becoming firm.

She took a deep breath and formed the seal steadily!

"Swish!" The green light of the medical ninjutsu covered both hands... Shizune's abdomen was a glaring blood red, and her hands couldn't help shaking, and the green light flickered.

The farewell smile before his death flashed through my mind.

That's right... Duan left with a smile. Even when facing death, he never had the slightest confusion about his dream of becoming Hokage.

The trembling of his hands stopped, and the green light remained.

"Swish!" Tsunade covered Shizune's wound with both hands.

Only then did she realize... the wound was not actually deep, and it did not hit any vital parts.

The wound healed quickly and Shizune was out of danger.

The light of the medical ninjutsu faded...Looking at the scabby blood on her hands, Tsunade no longer felt the slightest fear.

She sighed in her heart: I never thought that the hemophobia that had troubled me for many years could be cured in an instant by the enemy's humiliating words...

Even though he's wearing a mask, judging by his voice, he seems to be a few years younger than Shizune...

The blue-haired woman traveling with her should be one of the children of Yugyakure at that time. At that time, Jiraiya stayed in Yugyakure and taught her.

So, did Jiraiya tell her about me?

No… I developed hemophobia after that. It was impossible for me to tell them this while Jiraiya was coaching.

Could it be...

"You and Orochimaru, are..."

When Tsunade raised her eyes again...Konan and Perrin were nowhere to be seen!
