She murmured to herself, her eyes involuntarily turning red.
Now, she faintly understood.
Why Nawaki charged forward, why Dan Kato threw himself into danger.
To protect what must be protected, to push forward resolutely even when facing pain, danger, and despair – this was courage.
"Lady Tsunade?" Shizune looked at Tsunade with concern and worry.
She had never seen Tsunade cry, not even when she was drinking alone in silence.
Tsunade seemed to react.
She looked at her fair arm, and suddenly, her fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, drew a sharp line across it.
The skin broke, and dark blood flowed out.
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune cried out in alarm, rushing forward to stop the bleeding for Tsunade.
"Shizune!" Tsunade called out sternly.
Shizune froze, looking at Tsunade's serious expression.
She knew.
Lady Tsunade's hemophobia caused her to tremble all over just from seeing blood.
Wait a minute—
Shizune suddenly realized.
There was no trembling.
Tsunade, who was staring intently at her arm, at the bright red blood, although her eyes still held fear, the fear of the pain of losing loved ones that day.
But! There was no trembling!
Xin took small sips of his wine, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his lips.
Just as expected.
The Amulet of Courage, like the Courage Aura of a Priestess in DNF, is a positive buff.
Tsunade's hemophobia was originally psychological; with the buff, her resistance to fear had increased.
Even if it wasn't completely healed.
But, she only needed some time to practice, adapt, and adjust her mindset; complete healing was just a matter of time.
He wondered.
What Orochimaru would feel when he came knocking, bit his finger, and found that Tsunade wasn't afraid, and also had a pile of powerful potions.
However, none of this concerned him.
While Tsunade was still trying to overcome her hemophobia, Xin also began to tally his gains for the day.
He had obtained goods worth 10.4 million, or 600,000 transaction points, from Tsunade in total.
The cost, including the clay pots, amounted to roughly 150,000 transaction points.
A net profit of 450,000 transaction points.
Triple the profit!
Indeed, selling Mystery Box was the right path for trading; it was a business that could completely drain the money from others' hands!
It was a pity, though, that Tsunade was poorer than he had imagined.
Xin checked the few items he was interested in.
Gura Gura no Mi, worth 21 million transaction points.
Deadpool's immortality, worth 11 million.
Tatsumaki's telekinesis, worth 17 million.
Damn it.
