[boom--]
Tsunade's mind went completely blank.
"There's another possibility: Rope Tree didn't die from the explosive tag trap at all."
"Instead... stabbing someone in the back is the only way to preserve the body's integrity, and that possibility is not small..."
In other words, the rope tree...
Tsunade was practically bursting into flames.
She absolutely cannot accept this outcome.
But she couldn't move.
[Naruto held her tightly in his arms.]

"Let me go!"
"I'm going to kill that old bastard!!!"
[Tsunade practically shouted it out.]
"Calm down."
"Wouldn't killing it be too easy for it?"
"Besides, there's going to be a big show coming up soon."
"Trust me, you'll be satisfied."
Naruto gently touched Tsunade's heart.
Gradually, Tsunade calmed down.
But the anger in his eyes turned into deep resentment.
Why are they being targeted like this?!
[Tick-tock—]
Tears fell onto Naruto's hand.
Tsunade, as if her entire body had gone limp, curled up in Naruto's arms like a rag doll.
[I felt a chill run down my spine when I was on silent.]
[Stabbing someone in the back...this...]
[Their internal organs were ripped out while they were still alive.]
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
[How much pain must one endure?]
[And you have to watch helplessly as your internal organs are ripped out.]
If they are enemies... that's fine, but if they aren't...
[Shimura Danzo! ]
A chilling killing intent flashed in Tsunade's eyes.
At this time.
A gentle surge of chakra flowed into his body.
[Soothing the restless chakra within her.]
[After calming down.]
This older woman looks like a little girl who has suffered endless injustice.
Helplessness and coldness crept into my heart.
[When the image of Rope Tree's death flashed through my mind, I felt a chill run through my body and trembled uncontrollably.]
So that's how Nawaki died. And I, as her older sister... was still working hard for the village.
[And they just stood by and watched the murderer go unpunished.]
Anger and self-blame filled Tsunade's heart.
She had suspected something was amiss, but she hadn't considered this possibility.
Naruto's words gradually awakened the dormant power within her.
"I... Nawaki, I promise I'll avenge you!"
Tears streamed down like a burst dam.
The only thing that brought her a little peace of mind was those tender yet broad and warm arms.
It's like, as long as she's nestled in someone's arms, she doesn't have to worry about anything, and the person holding her can do anything she wants.
"Don't hold out hope."
"The data is coldly recorded there."
"Also, this isn't something one person can accomplish."
"If Nawaki was stabbed in the back."
"Still right under Orochimaru's nose."
"The situation at the time was very likely like this."
"Nawaki wants to defend against the enemy and restore the Senju's reputation."
"And then he took the lead."
[Unexpectedly, his companions behind him suddenly attacked him.]
"Only a surprise attack like this, where the victim is completely unprepared, can guarantee the integrity of the body."
"And it won't damage internal organs."
"It's even... quite possibly that they've sealed off Nawaki's ability to move."
"Then they ripped out his internal organs while he was still alive."
"The scene was set up with rope trees to resemble a trap, where someone would die instantly after being caught in an explosive tag."
At this point, Tsunade trembled all over.
Naruto tightened his arms around her, making her curl up close in his embrace.
His voice softened considerably, and he whispered in Tsunade's ear.
Tsunade's two small hands had somehow managed to grasp one of his large hands.
[Very energetic.]
Naruto shook his head.
[Hemophobia, the word "phobia" is the most important.]
[Regarding mental illness, we can only guide her and help her overcome it on her own.]
The best approach is to shift the focus and deflect the conflict.
At this moment, Tsunade was no longer as gentle as before.
The strength in his hands has returned somewhat.
Tobirama Senju: "Some things, if said too much, become meaningless."
Tobirama Senju: "After I am revived, I will demonstrate through my actions..."
Tobirama Senju: "Also, this treatment method is quite good, Naruto with black frames... I approve of you!"
Uchiha Madara: ...
How strange, why do I feel like this sentence should be exclusively mine?
Uchiha Madara: Hashi Hot Mom, don't you have anything to say?
Hashirama Senju: Haha... Well done, Naruto with the black-rimmed glasses!
Tsunade: "..."
hateful!
You lecherous brat!
Her eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips. "Fine, just consider it payment for your treatment."
Silent chuckled dryly from the side.
He sighed silently.
Uncle Duan...is there really a problem?
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
Naruto waited for quite a while.
The older sister in his arms had finally calmed down somewhat.
Suddenly.
Tsunade raised her snow-white neck.
Tears still glistened in her eyes.
She looked at Naruto.
Naruto stared intently at her.
After a long while, Tsunade suddenly sniffed, her lower lip involuntarily turning outwards.
[So incredibly cute.]
But this is clearly not the time to act cute.
"I'm sorry... Naruto... if only I were a little smarter..."
Naruto shook his head, gently stroking her hair, and whispered, "You don't need to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong."
"The one who's wrong isn't you...it's those beasts."
"Napaki won't blame you."
"R-really?" Tsunade lowered her eyes slightly.
[Jin opened her mouth, but then swallowed the words back.]
Let's leave it to this reassuring young man.
[Silently, she picked up Tun Tun and hugged her tightly.]
[Dolphin: "..."]
[If we push harder, it really will become reserve grain.]
Tsunade suddenly shook her head again.
"I also want to apologize to you... If I had been smarter... more capable, I wouldn't have left you all alone and helpless in Konoha..."
Before she could finish speaking, Naruto's finger pressed against Tsunade's lips.
"Alright, Tsunade-neechan, this really isn't your fault."
Neither I nor Mom have ever blamed you.
"Because... Tsunade-neechan is suffering just as much."
[Buzz—]
These words struck a chord deep within Tsunade's heart.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Looking at that handsome face so close to his.
She was momentarily dazed, her mind going blank.
Suddenly, there was movement.
Under Naruto's gaze, this older sister actually closed her eyes.
This was completely beyond Naruto's expectations.
He believed that the opportunity would arise later when the story focused on the person with the recurring coincidences.
Now that he has it, Naruto certainly won't hold back.
