Konoha Qiweiju

It's the 42nd year of Konoha, May 18th, the weather is: sunny.

The war continues.

The people coming and going are injured ninjas.

Time always passes by, and life never stops.

On this day, Tsunade also came back.

Also coming back with her were her troops.

In other words, there are still broken bodies.

The man who was like sunshine did not escape the fate of death in the end.

Thousand Hands House.

Tsunade huddled quietly in the corner, motionless.

Three days like this have passed.

If Jiraiya were here, he would go and comfort her.

But now, Jiraiya is not here.

Because he is one of the few Kage-level people in Konoha and is currently guarding one side.

When Zhen Xiu got the news, it was already three days later.

Because during those few days, he left the village.

No one knows what he did. They only know that early that morning, he suddenly returned to Qiweiju.

Then, I heard the news.

Without too much thinking or hesitation, Zhen Xiu came to Senju House.

He has been to this place many times.

This place once housed many of the people he cared about most.

But later, all these people disappeared.

Now, there is only one Tsunade left.

Push the door open.

There was darkness in the house.

This room used to have excellent lighting, but now it is blocked by curtains.

Even in broad daylight, there is not a trace of light.

When the door opened, it was like a ray of sunshine dispelling the gloom.

Her red hair is like the rising sun.

Zhenxiu walked in.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar furniture, in the corner, I saw a gray-faced Tsunade.

She had not seen the sun or had any food for three days, so her face looked a little pale.

The sun shone on her face, and she closed her eyes reflexively.

She didn't speak, but slowly looked towards the door.

In the backlight, she couldn't see the face of the visitor, only the outline of the body.

Not tall or burly.

Some, it's just a strange sense of security.

This person should be very familiar to me.

This was Tsunade's only thought at this time.

"Tsunade-chan."

The familiar voice awakened Tsunade's memory.

She had heard this sound since she was a child.

For a moment, her eyes became moist.

It was as if I had been drifting on the sea for three days and suddenly saw an isolated island.

Seeing Shinsu approaching, Tsunade could see his appearance clearly.

Just like back then.

Youth.

Some people stay young.

Some people are already old.

Some people don't have the chance to grow old.

"Grandpa uncle..."

Tsunade shouted in a low voice, tears welling up unconsciously.

Big tears fell on the ground.

Tick ​​tock…

Tick ​​tock…

It's like a clock is wound, counting down life.

Tsunade hugged Shinsu and cried bitterly.

Since the day she died, Tsunade has not cried again.

But at this time, she didn't know why and could no longer control her emotions.

The tears that seemed to have dried up welled up again.

Zhen Xiu's shoulders were wet.

He didn't speak, just patted Tsunade's back quietly.

The force was not heavy, but a warm force was transmitted into Tsunade's body through the palm of her hand.

It's not chakra or anything weird.

It is a kind of power called family love.

"My child, I'm sorry for you."

Shinshu said softly, causing Tsunade to cry louder.

Sometimes, crying is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it can be a good thing.

Crying is an expression of emotion.

No matter what the emotion is, holding it in all the time is harmful to the body.

Smart people know how to release their emotions.

Tsunade cried so loudly that her body began to twitch.

Zhenxiu didn't stop him either.

What Tsunade needed was a hearty cry, not a useless cry.

After many years on the battlefield, Tsunade had never heard any kind of comfort.

There are some truths, just listen to them.

If you really want to understand, it's not that easy.

No matter how many scriptures you read about getting rich, it won't help you get rich.

It's all the same.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Even Tsunade had not eaten for three days and her physical strength had dropped to a low point.

After crying for no more than ten minutes, I ran out of energy.

Some are just tired.

Crying and crying, I actually fell asleep.

Yes, not only did she not eat for three days and three nights, she also didn't sleep.

What I keep thinking about in my mind is the appearance of Danhe Noshu when he died.

The two men she once loved most both died within a few years.

No matter how strong Tsunade is, she is only one person.

No one can bear this kind of sadness.

Tsunade was tired from crying and fell asleep.

Zhenxiu placed it on the sofa aside.

The little girl back then has actually grown into a big girl.

On his forehead, the diamond-shaped mark has already taken shape.

Yin seal.

Shinshu gently tucked Tsunade's golden hair behind her ears and covered her with clothes.

Shinshu was alone, with only Tsunade as a relative.

Sighing, Zhenxiu did not leave, but walked towards the kitchen.

As a chef, the only way to comfort people is cooking.

Food is something that brings happiness to people, Zhenxiu has always believed that.

Even people who are extremely sad still need food to adjust their mood.

It's just that at this time, you don't need any gorgeous dishes, but what you need is a food that can open your taste buds.

Only such food can open the tongue of a sad person.

A live turtle was sent to the guillotine by Zhen Xiu.

Tsunade slept on the sofa and fell asleep.

In her sleep, she once again saw Duan's appearance before his death.

"Break!"

Tsunade woke up with a start and sat up suddenly.

The clothes covering his body slipped off.

Tsunade was stunned and looked at the green sphere placed in front of her.

To be precise, a cantaloupe.

But at this moment, the cantaloupe had a fragrance that didn't belong to it.

"Are you awake?"

A gentle voice sounded, and the handsome young man's face came into view.

"Uncle grandpa."

Tsunade looked at Zhen Xiu and forced a smile.

"What? Are you not happy to see your uncle? He smiles so reluctantly. He doesn't look like my little Tsunade."

Zhen Xiu smiled.

"Uncle, I..."

"Okay, okay, who hasn't had a sad moment yet? Come, try the new dishes I made for you."

Zhenxiu said, throwing the cantaloupe over.

Tsunade was stunned and took it subconsciously.

But the cantaloupe seemed to have been cut open and had a lid.

The lid fell directly to the ground, and a green light burst out instantly!

Love is a light!

So wonderful!

Um, no, I put the wrong disc.

Thump thump thump thump thump!

The green light was full of vitality and illuminated the entire room.

"This is……"

Tsunade looked at the opened cantaloupe in her hand and was surprised.

There is actually some yellow soup in the cantaloupe.

It looks crystal clear.

No, it doesn't look like soup, but like jelly.

"Bounce turtle soup. Great tonic."

Shinshu said with a smile and handed the spoon to Tsunade.

Tsunade originally wanted to say not to eat, but the bursts of fragrance made her a little irresistible.

My stomach, which had not eaten for three days, began to growl unsatisfactorily.

Chirping.

Tsunade's face turned red, but she still took the spoon.

Gently insert the spoon into the yellow jelly.

Amazing resilience exploded at this moment.

Duang!

Tsunade lost her grip for a moment, and the spoon was actually ejected.

"This... is so amazingly flexible."

Tsunade said in surprise.

The real cultivator reached out and caught the flying spoon.

"Be careful, this is no ordinary soup."

Zhen Xiu smiled.

Tsunade thought it was amazing, so the spoon tried again.

This time, she held the spoon.

The spoon scooped out the jelly-like yellow soup.

Tsunade swallowed it in one gulp.

The taste is not strong, on the contrary, it is very light.

But despite the lightness, there is also a delicious soft-shelled turtle flavor.

Umami, sourness, and the fruity aroma of cantaloupe.

The three of them were perfectly sealed in this jelly-like soup.

The originally dry body seemed to open its barriers at this moment and turned into a sponge absorbing water.

Recovered.

The spoon moved again.

Like a starving girl, Tsunade ate the bouncing turtle soup bite by bite until everything was gone.

"Feeling better?"

"Um……"

Tsunade responded, she indeed felt much better.

An empty soul and a hungry body.

No matter how strong a person is, he cannot bear this double torture.

At this moment, Tsunade was indeed much better.

"I've done some research and found out that she has a niece named Shizune, who is ten years old now. Maybe you would be interested in meeting her."

Tsunade was stunned and looked at Zhen Xiu.

"I heard Hiruzen say that you are suffering from hemophobia. Not only will you not be able to go to the battlefield for a short period of time, but you will also be unable to treat the wounded."

There is no wounded person who comes off the battlefield without blood.

You can't wipe off the blood before sending it to Tsunade.

That's not realistic.

It also wastes time.

Treatment is like fighting death every second.

"Uncle, I..."

Tsunade wanted to say something, but in the end she could only choke out one sentence.

"I'm sorry. I'm embarrassed."

Zhenxiu gently rubbed Tsunade's flaxen hair and said with a smile: "Silly boy, there is nothing to be ashamed of. You just have a disease. There is nothing to be ashamed of when you have a disease. Everyone has a disease.

Right. It’s just that your disease is a little more complicated and takes a little longer to cure.

But you are the best doctor yourself. So, I am not worried about whether you can recover. What you need now is just peace."

Tsunade enjoyed Shinshu's touch very much. The feeling was like returning to her childhood.

When she was a child, Zhenxiu also liked to touch her hair like this.

It was so good at that time.

There is grandpa, there is grandma, there is dad, and there is mom.

Although the rope tree is not born yet, it is still in its mother's belly.

That period of time was Tsunade's happiest time.

But now, everything has changed.

Except for true cultivators, all those people have disappeared.

Disappeared in Tsunade's life force.

"Little Tsunade, leave this world of ninjas temporarily and go see the scenery outside. One day, you will get more. But traveling alone is lonely. Take Shizune with you, I know, you will want to

Take hers with you."

"Thank you, uncle."

Tsunade whispered, seeming to have made a choice.

"I...will be back."

Tsunade said this, but even she couldn't tell a suitable time.

"I know."

The rising sun that day was so warm that Tsunade would remember it for her whole life.

The sunset that day was so beautiful that Tsunade often recalled it.

Under the setting sun, Tsunade took little Shizune's hand and left Konoha.

"Tsunade-sama, where are we going?"

Little Shizune asked curiously.

"It takes a long time to go to a far away place. It's just the two of us."

"Just the two of us?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"because……"

Tsunade's mouth moved, and only the two of them could hear the answer.

On top of the Second Hokage Rock, Shinsu put his hands in his pockets and quietly looked at Tsunade and Shizune who were gradually walking away.

"Have a nice trip, Tsunade-chan."

His voice was very quiet, except for himself, perhaps only the Hokage Rock beneath him could hear it.

The wind is a little noisy today.

When Tsunade could no longer be seen, Shinshu said: "Hiruzhan, since you are here, come out."

A man in Hokage robe walked out from behind.

"I still can't hide it from you, Teacher Zhenxiu."

Hiruzen is no longer young. Although his hair and beard are still black, wrinkles have appeared on his face.

The hero of the ninja world back then is now about to be defeated by time.

Since ancient times, famous generals are like beautiful women, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world.

White heads mean aging.

This means that the invincible general can no longer wield his spear.

The beautiful girl has ugly wrinkles.

They both mean the brokenness of good things.

Generals are no longer invincible, beauties are no longer attractive.

All are tragedies.

An unchangeable tragedy.

A destined tragedy.

"Hiruzhan, let her go Tsunade's way."

"I understand. It's just that Konoha is in danger right now."

Hiruzen frowned.

The combat power that was originally insufficient now became even more scarce due to Tsunade's changes.

Konoha is in a huge crisis.

"Don't worry, there will always be someone in Konoha to support you. One day when you can't support it, there will always be someone who will support you. Isn't that what the so-called Will of Fire is like."

Zhen Xiu chuckled.

Hiruzen smiled helplessly.

"Without Tsunade, our mortality rate will be greatly increased when facing Sunagakure. This is something that cannot be avoided by the Will of Fire. Therefore, Master Shinshu..."

"I understand. I will shoulder Tsunade's responsibility. Tomorrow, I will go to the Sunagakure battlefield."

After the real cultivator finished speaking, he disappeared from the Hokage Rock without looking back.

Hiruzen felt relieved when he heard this.

Looking at the empty Hokage Rock, Hiruzen said, "Please, Master Shinshu."

After many years, Zhen Xiu will eventually return to that battlefield.

Only this time, his mood was a little different.

Before leaving, Shinsu confessed to Kakashi and also to the hand beating.

Both of them are on the right track, and the remaining problems are not big whether they are practicing true cultivation or not.

The next day, Zhenxiu left Konoha alone with one person and one cat.

In the sand hidden battlefield, Zhen Xiu wanted to meet someone.

A person who also has red hair.
