Konoha Cemetery.
The bright moon is in the sky.
After Tsunade and Bai Yu left, an inexplicable breeze blew past Kato Dan's tombstone, and finally dissipated inexplicably.
…
Konoha residential area.
Tsunade's bedroom.
Sitting on the bed, Tsunade's eyes suddenly tightened, and the time and space in front of her eyes were distorted. After a moment, what appeared in front of her...
It's a storm.
It's a dark night forest.
On the ground lay Kato Dan, who was on the verge of death, and on both sides stood Konoha medical ninjas who had no choice but to watch.
“Break!
! "
After feeling like a world away, Tsunade seemed to be back to that night again. Regardless of everything, she stepped forward quickly, stared at Kato Dan, and shouted loudly.
Came to Kato Dan's side.
However, Tsunade's legs suddenly gave way and she sat down in the mud, without the courage to take another step forward.
Her heart couldn't deceive herself.
Tsunade knew that this was an illusion, an illusion environment created by the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
After calming down.
Tsunade saw the blood spilling from the severed chest and abdomen, and the fear, fear, and anxiety in her heart were aroused bit by bit.
She wanted to escape from all this, even if she returned to this night again.
Tsunade knew that there was nothing she could do to change this. She had exhausted all her knowledge of medical ninjutsu that night, but she still could not change Dan's fate.
Even if this scene happens again in front of her, she can't change anything.
Her current medical level, under the influence of hemophobia, is probably not as good as Shizune, and there is absolutely no hope of changing all this.
Just at this time.
Bai Yu appeared behind her, watching this scene silently. He was the controller of this illusion and could appear in any way.
In order for Tsunade to overcome hemophobia, she must face the scenes and things she fears head-on.
More importantly, she still needs to have a presence in her heart that she can rely on, a comfort that can heal her inner pain.
In the original work, this consolation or the key point is undoubtedly Naruto who has the common dream of Kato Dan and Naoki.
And it had to be Naruto who was about to die because of Tsunade.
After Naruto was rescued by Tsunade, Tsunade found herself again, and found herself who was not afraid of blood.
And at this time.
Obviously there is no such possibility. In the story line that Bai Yu has changed now, Naruto and Tsunade may not be able to establish such a deep friendship due to Orochimaru's persecution.
"This can only create conditions artificially."
Bai Yu sighed silently in his heart and slowly came to Tsunade's side.
At this time, Tsunade was squatting in a muddy pothole, even if she was soaked in the freezing rain, even if she looked at the dying Kato Dan in front of her, she remained unmoved.
Her heart was full of resistance when she first entered the illusion, but now she is gradually numb.
Fear and terror filled Tsunade's heart.
Bai Yu was in this illusion scene, also drenched by the violent storm, but in order not to destroy the artistic conception, he deliberately came to Tsunade in the image of a ninja from the Konoha Medical Department and said in a deep voice:
"Tsunade-sama, go and try it!"
Tsunade glanced at him in astonishment, her inner emotions erupting like a volcano.
She didn't think much, she got up from the ground in a panic and ran towards the dark forest.
She didn't want to experience Duan's death in front of her again, and she didn't want to see Duan's confused and unwilling eyes before he left.
Bai Yu stood there, looking at Tsunade who was losing control of her emotions, and just watched silently.
Want to overcome inner demons.
Or she can only wait for Tsunade to wake up, so in this illusion created by the eternal kaleidoscope, no matter how Tsunade escapes, she will run into a scene where she is on the verge of death.
Then Bai Yu would remind her over and over again to save her as Konoha's medical ninja.
It seemed like endless torture.
Actually.
But this scene is infiltrating the psychological defense built in Tsunade's heart little by little, making it increasingly unclear whether Tsunade is reality or whether she has really returned to that night.
Whenever Tsunade comes to this scene, Bai Yu will always say:
"Tsunade-sama, go and try it!"
Over time.
These words lingered in Tsunade's ears like a magic sound, gradually penetrating into the deepest part of her heart.
I don’t know how many times I escaped.
finally.
Tsunade looked dull and numbly walked to Duan's side, slowly squatted down, and murmured: "Then... give it a try!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Yu, who originally wanted to be a repeater, suddenly shut up in embarrassment. He knew that the turning point had come.
Tsunade didn't break down that easily.
After the defense built deep in her heart was broken down, her true self gradually woke up.
And in the process of paralyzing herself again and again, not to mention that she was no longer afraid of blood, even the dying Kato Dan could no longer make her feel afraid.
Any emotion has a threshold, and so does fear. When a person is often mixed with what he is afraid of, there will always be a moment when he becomes less afraid of it.
Of course, after this period of time has passed, people will still be afraid of the things they fear.
Bai Yu just wanted to seize that period of adaptation and let Tsunade face the scene that she feared the most in her heart.
At this time, Tsunade came to Dan's side and looked at the young man she once liked but was now groaning on the verge of death, tears mixed with heavy rain sliding down her cheeks.
The surrounding Konoha ninjas bowed their heads sadly.
In heavy rain and strong wind.
Tsunade released the Palm Technique with her hands. There was no blood in her eyes, and there were no Konoha ninjas beside her. Even the strong wind and rain became extremely slow in the world she was focused on.
In Tsunade's eyes at this moment, all she could see was Suan who was seriously injured and dying. She wanted to fight again to give herself an explanation, to Suan an explanation, and to give an explanation to this past incident.
Sizzling——
The green medical ninjutsu chakra energy was released in Tsunade's hands and fell on the seriously injured Kato Dan. But every time, Kato Dan closed his eyes and completely lost his life.
After all... this is just an illusion, but Tsunade did not stop her stubborn thoughts, she continued.
…
In the hall, on the sofa, Shizune sat alone with the sleeping piggy in her arms, looking at Tsunade's bedroom, which had been quiet from the beginning, and fell into deep thought.
suddenly.
A chill ran down Shizune's back, making her shiver. She immediately looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual before continuing to think about Tsunade.
…
In the bedroom, in Tsunade's fantasy world.
I don’t know how long it took.
Bai Yu suddenly felt a foreign energy seeping into this place. He immediately retreated to the edge of the dark forest and looked around deep inside Tsunade's heart.
This illusion was transformed deep in Tsunade's mind and was constructed based on her body and her spirit.
It wouldn't surprise Bai Yu that someone could infiltrate here without Tsunade being prepared.
Is Tsunade's enemy?
still……
"Being in the position of Hokage, it is indeed easy to set up some hidden enemies."
Bai Yu sighed in his heart.
Thinking about it, I have to deal with this kind of thing for Tsunade. It would be really unreasonable if she is not allowed to pay more in the future.
Just in the middle of Bai Yu's thoughts.
A transparent energy body appeared in Tsunade's illusion, and his figure appeared as a light blue shadow, which seemed incompatible with the illusion.
This figure has long blue-white hair, a pale face, and his lower body is indistinct. Only his face can be seen clearly.
After Bai Yu saw the other party clearly, his whole body was shocked. The figure who suddenly entered Tsunade's fantasy was none other than Kato Dan!
Good guy...
He had clearly not seen the complete energy body in his tomb before, but now, he was able to gather the complete body of his own body and enter Tsunade's illusion.
There is a concept of soul and spirit in Naruto.
Naruto encountered it.
Although it is an original plot of the anime, it is more or less designed to make the later concepts of "reincarnation" and "pure land" reasonable.
Not to mention……
The ninjutsu that Kato Dan is good at is the "Spiritualization Technique" in this area!
The energy body Kato Dan looked at Tsunade who used medical ninjutsu again and again to save herself from dying, with pity and pain on her pale face.
He looked around, as if searching for something, and finally met Bai Yu who was standing at the edge of the woods.
Kato Dan floated slowly towards Bai Yu and sighed: "Thank you very much."
Bai Yu: "..."
The picture is a bit weird though.
But the well-informed Bai Yu still endured his discomfort and used Sharingan to control Tsunade's fantasy world to create an isolated environment, and asked:
"I have the ability to see spirits or souls. I didn't see your complete soul in the cemetery before..."
Kato Dan smiled bitterly:
"I know that as a rare ninja who can learn the art of spiritual transformation, I can feel your eyes when you look at my grave, so I used some means."
"how long have you been here?"
Bai Yu was not sure whether he or it had any means to hide its whereabouts.
Kato Suan shook his head and said: "I just came here not long ago, and I made up my mind to enter her dream only after I made sure that you didn't hurt her. However, I heard all the content of your previous chat in the cemetery."
Bai Yu: "..."
Good boy, it seems that you have been eavesdropping on other people's whispers over the years.
"The art of spiritual transformation is really useful."
Bai Yu sighed and teased, then thought of something, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and added: "Sorry."
Kato Dan has not appeared in Tsunade's life for so many years...
It must not be that he doesn't want to show up.
But this technique has great limitations. Otherwise, how could an energy body with consciousness and not controlled by others be able to endure this kind of loneliness and pain.
"Heh... my time... is running out. There is always a voice deep in my soul calling me, asking me to go somewhere."
Kato Dan smiled bitterly and said:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, I still want to thank you for agreeing to treat her. Can you give me some time? As her medical expenses, I can give you the scroll of the spiritual transformation technique."
Bai Yu nodded simply, waved his hand and said: "Go, the one who can really save her is actually you."
After saying that, he was ready to leave Tsunade's fantasy world, leaving time and space to the pair of fateful mandarin ducks.
In his previous life, he couldn't see this kind of thing happening, and now that he was a man in two lives, he didn't want to make things so sad.
Kato Dan suddenly thought of something and then cried and laughed: "I'm sorry, after I entered her spiritual world, I can only communicate with you and her now. I have no choice or ability to leave here again. I can entrust you with something. ?"
"As a reward, I can tell you where the belongings are hidden in my home. I also saved a lot of money and ninjutsu scrolls in those years."
"As long as no one finds them in those places...the total wealth is still very rich."
Bai Yu nodded and said: "Just tell me, I can do it, and I will try my best to help you fulfill your last wish."
Kato Suan reluctantly looked back at Tsunade, who was still desperately trying to save "himself". He seemed to have let go of something, and then smiled:
】
"Please help me take care of her. Of course, you can also find someone who can take care of her."
"Jiraiya is pretty good."
"But when she was with me, she told me privately that she thought that guy was very unreliable. She always regarded Jiraiya as a biological brother."
"Orochimaru... forget it, he is not a womanizer."
"You look young though."
"But with her physique, she will definitely live longer than you, and she will never age in her lifetime. You know what I'm saying..."
"Women, when they are older, they can take care of others."
"She has many advantages."
Kato Dan seemed to be stuck in some kind of memory.
When Bai Yu heard Kato Dan's expression, it became more and more uncomfortable. He hesitated to speak, and his heart began to turn upside down. He sighed to himself, what kind of last wish is this?
no……
Are the ethical relationships in your ninja world also so open?
Bai Yu coughed twice and replied: "You may have a misunderstanding of the word "care". With her current situation, she does not need anyone else to take care of her."
Kato Dan shook his head and said, "I don't want to see her grow old alone."
Bai Yu nodded to express his understanding, then sighed softly and asked:
"If there was a way for you to survive in this form, would you choose to live?"
Kato Dan shook his head and said:
"That will only make it more painful. In this world, one visit is enough. By the way, the sealing scroll of the spiritual transformation technique I learned is in the basement of my house. No one knows about that place. The specific mechanism is..."
After Bai Yu listened to Kato Dan's description, he immediately stopped talking about life with the elder brother who wanted to entrust his girlfriend to him.
Before leaving this illusion space.
Bai Yu deliberately used the child power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to bless the stability of this illusion space, and also left a little thought ingeniously.
Bai Yu's conscious body woke up first and looked at Tsunade sitting on the bed with a dull expression. After he got up,
After thinking about it,
Bai Yu still responsibly laid her flat on the bed, and then disappeared instantly, escaping into time and space. After absorbing the original energy of Otsutsuki's style, he became more and more skilled in mastering time and space.
These are all abilities that are based on the essence of the Flying Thunder Technique.
In Tsunade's fantasy.
With a wry smile on his face, Kato walked slowly to Tsunade, who seemed to have endless energy to release healing ninjutsu chakra.
He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Tsunade's wrist to release the medical ninjutsu chakra.
Tsunade paused for a moment, then looked sideways at the other person, her expression gradually gathering.
And at this moment.
This illusion quietly changed, from a dark forest shrouded in violent storms to the top of the Hokage Building with the sun shining brightly, and behind it was the Shadow Rock facing the Ninja Village.
…
…
The edge of Konoha.
Bai Yu easily found the wooden house that Kato Dan bought alone before his death.
