Within an inn on the border of the Land of Bears.
Swish!
A stunning beauty with twin tails ran back into the room and hurriedly shut the door.
Not until she sensed that all the debt collectors had left did Tsunade, with her blonde twin tails, finally pat her incredibly proud chest and heave a sigh of relief.
“Phew… finally got rid of them. Haha, let’s have a drink to celebrate!”
Shizune, who looked like a young girl, sighed helplessly:
“Lady Tsunade…”
Hum—
Before she could even pick up the wine flask, the air in the center of the room suddenly twisted strangely, rippling like water!
The next second, a man wearing the Uchiha Clan attire appeared in the room without warning.
It was none other than Uchiha Tianti!
“Who goes there?!”
Shizune reacted extremely quickly, instantly pulling out a medical scalpel and blocking in front of Tsunade as she shouted sharply.
However, what she faced was a pair of rapidly spinning Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
Zing—!
The genjutsu was unleashed without warning and with lightning speed.
Shizune, in her youth, was far from mature in terms of both strength and resistance to Sharingan genjutsu.
She only felt a flash of crimson light before her eyes, and her consciousness instantly blurred.
With a muffled groan, she collapsed to the floor.
Uchiha Tianti had succeeded in his first strike, but he felt no relaxation in his heart; instead, he grew even more tense.
All his attention was locked onto the legendary female Ninja who was slowly standing up.
Tsunade remained calm in the face of change.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
A flash of surprise crossed her beautiful eyes, but it was mostly replaced by the displeasure of being disturbed and a sharp, scrutinizing gaze.
“Hmm? Sharingan…”
She eyed Uchiha Tianti’s attire and eyes:
“A Ninja of the Uchiha Clan? Did Konoha send you? No, that’s not right… at this age…”
As she spoke, she casually took off her green coat and tossed it aside, revealing the sleeveless beige top underneath, as well as her arms which, while appearing fair and delicate, actually contained the power to crush mountains and split stones!
Crack, crack!
Tsunade gently loosened her wrists, her knuckles emitting a crisp sound filled with raw power.
“No matter who you are, kid…”
Tsunade’s voice grew cold, and an aura of oppression belonging to a top-tier powerhouse spread out, instantly making the air in the room feel several times heavier.
“You’d better have a convincing enough reason to explain why you appeared before me in this manner and attacked my disciple. Otherwise…”
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze like a lioness stalking its prey:
“Even if you are a Ninja of Konoha, I won’t hold back!”
Uchiha Tianti’s back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
Facing the pressure of one of the Sannin was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
He did not doubt for a second that if he made the slightest move, that seemingly delicate fist would crush his skull in the next instant!
He forcibly suppressed the palpitations in his heart, circulating Chakra secretly within his body, preparing to burst into speed at any moment.
“Tsunade, I need your power! The Uchiha Clan… annihilation is imminent! I have no other choice!”
“The Uchiha Clan’s annihilation?”
Tsunade was stunned upon hearing this, then let out a scoff, as if she had heard some absurd joke.
“What kind of joke is that! Which power in the Ninja World could annihilate the Uchiha Clan?”
“Even if the other four Great Nations joined forces, the Uchiha could still bite a chunk of flesh out of them! Kid, if you’re going to lie, at least come up with a decent reason!”
Her patience seemed to be wearing thin rapidly; she stepped slightly forward, blocking the path where Uchiha Tianti might try to dodge.
“Nothing is impossible!”
Uchiha Tianti spoke in a low voice, while his left hand slowly reached for the Ninja tool pouch behind his waist, where he had prepared scrolls and blood bags.
“Wasn’t the Senju Clan powerful? Wasn’t the Uzumaki Clan formidable? Didn’t they also…”
“Don’t move!”
Tsunade’s combat instincts were incredibly sharp; Uchiha Tianti’s subtle movements immediately alerted her.
She gave a sharp shout, and her figure instantly vanished from where she stood!
So fast!
Uchiha Tianti’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan captured a blurry golden afterimage, but his body’s reaction speed could barely keep up!
A chill of death instantly enveloped his entire body!
Relying almost entirely on the kinetic vision instinct brought by the Sharingan, at the critical moment, he poured Chakra frantically into his feet and violently shunshined to the rear side!
He narrowly dodged the punch, the wind of which made Uchiha Tianti’s cheek sting.
The gap is too huge!
Uchiha Tianti was horrified.
If not for the prior warning and the Sharingan, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to dodge that punch!
But taking advantage of the momentum from his backward leap, his left hand finally succeeded in pulling those specially prepared blood bags from his Ninja tool pouch, and he ripped them open without hesitation!
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
Several blood bags exploded simultaneously in front of Uchiha Tianti!
The bright red liquid splashed directly onto Tsunade, who was about to pursue him, like a small rain of blood!
This attack method, which had zero lethality but was extremely bizarre, made even Tsunade pause for a moment.
Bright red filled her vision.
“Ugh… Ah—!!!”
Tsunade’s beautiful and heroic face instantly drained of all color, turning as pale as paper!
Her calm and resolute eyes were now filled with fear and trembling that originated from the depths of her soul!
Her pupils contracted sharply, and everything in her field of vision seemed to twist into a blood-red hellscape!
“Blood… blood… don’t…”
Tsunade’s figure, which had been so imposing just a moment ago, now seemed as if all strength had been drained from it.
Her legs went weak, and she stumbled backward, finally falling to the floor with a “thud.”
She clutched her head tightly with both hands, her body shaking violently and uncontrollably, and she let out incoherent mumblings…
Hemophobia!
It’s acting up!
It worked!
Uchiha Tianti’s heart felt as if a huge weight had been lifted, but he dared not be careless in the slightest.
He knew this was only temporary; given Tsunade’s willpower, she might not fall unconscious and could counterattack at any moment.
“Tsunade, I’m sorry… I really had no other choice.”
Uchiha Tianti panted heavily; the massive loss of lifespan was causing him to weaken rapidly.
He didn’t dare to be careless and quickly stepped forward.
Looking at Tsunade’s fragile and helpless appearance at this moment, a trace of guilt flashed through his heart, but it was immediately suppressed by an even stronger desire for survival and the obsession to save his family.
He took out the prepared sealing scroll and quickly applied basic binding techniques to the key Chakra nodes on Tsunade’s limbs and torso, temporarily restricting her mobility and ability to mobilize Chakra.
After doing this, he reached out and lifted Tsunade, who had lost the ability to resist due to her hemophobia.
Clatter—
Walking to the table nearby, Uchiha Tianti swept all the items on the tabletop away.
Then, he laid the trembling Tsunade horizontally on the table…
Looking at the woman before him who was considered a legend in the Ninja World, Uchiha Tianti took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incomparably firm.
Whether he could obtain the power to reverse his fate depended on this one action!
Relying on his own hands to climb to the peak of the Ninja World, buried within the Chibaku Tensei…
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining warmly onto the table, the sofa, the floor, the balcony…
In front of the inn, behind it… grass was breaking through the soil…
“Eeya—”
A loud, melodious moan soared straight into the sky.
