Satisfied~ Two hours later.
Tsunade finished her bath, changed into fresh clothes, and stepped out of the bathroom, feeling completely satisfied.
Her long, wet blonde hair draped over her shoulders, still steaming.
She stretched, feeling completely at ease.
“Sure enough, nothing is more comfortable than having this happen while bathing~” She walked toward the bed while toweling off her hair.
Today had been full of training, fighting, and saving people.
Now, she just wanted to collapse onto the bed and sleep until the world went dark.
Tsunade walked to the bed, and just as her bottom touched the edge, a familiar yet unfamiliar cramping pain suddenly struck her lower abdomen.
“What’s going on?” Tsunade frowned and subconsciously looked down.
Then she saw, on the new pants she had just put on, a small, dark red stain was slowly seeping through.
“What the—?!” Tsunade froze completely.
“Did I poke it until it bled???” Her first thought was that she had been too rough during her bath, and had broken something.
After all, she hadn’t fully adapted to this body yet.
Being heavy-handed was entirely possible.
A wave of panic surged over her.
Without a second thought, Tsunade immediately raised her hand, green Chakra light surging from her palm.
Mystical Palm Technique!
She pressed her hand against her lower abdomen, and the Chakra gently seeped into her body, beginning to repair the wound.
However, the blood didn’t stop; instead, it flowed even more freely.
The dark red stain on her pants expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tsunade felt like the world was ending.
“The Mystical Palm Technique is useless?!” “Am I going to die?!” “I’ve only been transmigrated for half a month, and I’m already checking out?!” Her brain was buzzing, and she was just about to scream “Grandma, help!” when she suddenly paused.
Wait.
This feeling…
This location…
This isn’t an injury!
This is…
A woman’s once-a-month…
Menstrual period!
“Damn it!
How could I have forgotten about this!” Tsunade’s face twitched slightly, her expression becoming extremely complex.
This sort of thing was perfectly normal for a woman.
But for a “boy” who had been a man for over twenty years in his previous life and had only transmigrated half a month ago, it just felt wrong on every level!
Although she was now a girl physiologically, subconsciously, she still felt like a guy.
“How long does this last?” Tsunade took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to quickly flip through the original body’s memory fragments.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, her expression even more complicated.
“It usually lasts about five days, during which the mood becomes inexplicably irritable, and it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise.” “So that’s it…” Tsunade pinched her chin, suddenly realizing the truth.
“No wonder I was so heavy-handed when I beat up Jiraiya earlier!” “I broke six of his ribs with one punch and caused internal bleeding.” “So it turns out I was just irritable in advance because my period was coming?” She scratched her head, feeling a bit guilty.
But this guilt was quickly replaced by another, more realistic problem.
“This is going to be troublesome!” Tsunade frowned.
This is truly a helpless aspect of being a female Ninja.
Depending on the individual’s constitution, there are always those few days every month where combat power drops sharply.
She only had five days, which was still considered lucky.
Some with weaker constitutions had it for seven or eight days.
“No way!” “I can’t do high-intensity exercise for five days.” “What am I supposed to do about my training?” Tsunade sat up abruptly, her stomach cramping again, and she grimaced, clutching her lower abdomen.
She was determined to become a Taijutsu master.
To unify the Ninja World.
To be the woman who brings all the beauties of the world under Konoha!
If she couldn’t train for five days a month, and her condition was poor, practicing other things would also yield half the results for double the effort.
That’s sixty days a year, half a year over three years!
Just going to waste it like that?
“No!
Absolutely not!” “This is a total waste of time!” “Is there any way to…
stop this thing?” Tsunade muttered, her mind racing.
This situation didn’t seem entirely impossible to fix.
She remembered reading some materials in her previous life about methods for women to stop menstruation.
The first method was the simplest and crudest.
Pregnancy.
It could stop it for about a year at a time.
But Tsunade would never choose this method even if it killed her.
“Then…
the second method?” Tsunade touched her chin, continuing to think.
“Surgery?” She wasn’t a newbie to the Ninja World; she was a transmigrator.
Surgeries to stop periods weren’t unheard of in her previous life.
There was a type of endometrial ablation surgery developed specifically for women with massive menstrual flow and long-term anemia.
Minimally invasive.
It could greatly reduce the volume of bleeding.
But this situation caused irreversible damage to the uterus.
And the most critical point was, “I don’t know how to do it!” Tsunade slapped her forehead.
Not only did she not know, but in the entire Ninja World, there was probably no one who could perform this surgery!
No matter how advanced Medical Ninjutsu was, it was for treating external injuries, internal injuries, detoxification, and bone setting.
Who would have the spare time to research “how to make women stop having periods”?
Tsunade’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Medical Ninjutsu won’t work, but what about Sealing Technique?” The Sealing Technique of the Ninja World was extremely powerful.
Sealing water, sealing fire, sealing tools, sealing Tailed Beasts…
Even monsters on the level of the Nine-Tailed could be sealed.
Sealing a small period should be a piece of cake, right?
“That’s it!” Tsunade slapped her thigh, getting excited.
“I’ll research a ‘Period Sealing Technique’ and just seal the menstruation directly; wouldn’t that work?” The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
“Decided!
I’ll research a Period Sealing Technique first!” Tsunade nodded heavily and immediately got up, preparing to find the Sealing Technique scrolls that Mito had given her.
However— The moment she stood up, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her.
Her vision went black, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed.
“Did…
did I stand up too fast??” Tsunade held onto the edge of the bed, shaking her head.
“No, that’s not right.” She lowered her head and looked at the floor.
Then she froze completely.
She saw that on the floor, in the few short minutes she had been thinking, a large area had already been “blood-collapsed”.
Dark red liquid had spread across the floor, covering a considerable area.
“Gulp!” Tsunade’s throat bobbed as she swallowed hard.
“This…
such a large amount of bleeding…” She quickly searched through the original body’s memories.
“It never happened in her memories!” The original Tsunade, while she did have painful periods, had always had a normal amount of bleeding.
Definitely not like this.
“It looks like these past few days have indeed been a bit excessive.” Tsunade immediately felt guilty.
Thinking carefully, how had she spent the last half month?
Waking up at 4 AM to run, running 100 kilometers at a time.
Morning strength training, lifting stones, hitting wooden piles.
Noon, continuing physical training: frog jumps, push-ups, sit-ups.
Afternoon, practicing Chakra control: tree climbing, water walking, fine manipulation.
Night, following Mito to learn Sealing Technique.
Twenty-four hours a day, non-stop.
The Senju + Uzumaki constitution was strong, and the recovery rate was amazing.
But it couldn’t withstand such abuse!
What’s more, when she was taking a bath…
“Cough, cough!!” “It seems like the body was overdrawn too severely, leading to menstrual disorders and an explosive increase in bleeding.” Tsunade clutched her slightly aching lower abdomen and sighed.
“Sure enough, no matter how strong the constitution is, it can’t withstand training yourself to death.” She looked around the room and began to search quickly.
She had to find something to plug the wound first.
