Chapter 340 The Curse of the Necklace and the Kiss

Actually, something happened during World War II that could be said to have changed Tsunade's life forever.

On her younger brother Nawaki's birthday, Tsunade gave him the family's treasure, a necklace that was a memento from their grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

Hearing her younger brother say his dream was to become Hokage and protect the village their grandfather created, Tsunade felt gratified and gave Nawaki a kiss, hoping that one day he could catch up with their grandfather, Hashirama.

[But Tsunade was unaware that at that very moment, her passive ability, "Kiss of Death," was triggered.]

[As it turned out, just a few days later, Nawaki, who had just gone to the battlefield, really did go to see his grandfather.]

He was killed when he stepped on an explosive tag trap during the mission.

Upon hearing the news of her brother's death, Tsunade's heart was broken. She wanted to see him one last time, but Jiraiya stopped her.

Jiraiya: You'd better not look at him in his current state.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade understood that her brother had died a horrible death, one that even Jiraiya couldn't bear to let her see.

Orochimaru's next words changed Tsunade's mind.

Orochimaru: After all, there are no medical ninjas on the battlefield.

These words instantly jolted Tsunade awake; if a medical ninja had been present, Nawaki might not have died.

Tsunade clutched her younger brother Nawaki's belongings tightly, vowing never to let the tragedy repeat itself.

"Unfortunately, the tragedy has repeated itself."

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, felt very down when she thought of her younger brother, Nawaki.

As the older sister, she failed to protect her younger brother.

As a medical ninja, she did not immediately join the medical efforts to save Nawaki.

Therefore, Tsunade felt very guilty about Nawaki's death.

"If the old man had agreed to my suggestion back then, perhaps Duan wouldn't have died."

"But after becoming Hokage, I've come to understand the old man a little better."

"Well, it's all fate."

Tsunade sighed, then her eyes suddenly turned fierce. She smashed the desk with her fist and said viciously, "But I never accept my fate."

Office desk: Why did you smash me if you're not going to accept your fate?

o (╥﹏╥) o

To prevent a recurrence of the tragedy, Tsunade proposed to the Third Hokage at a general meeting that each team be equipped with a medical ninja.

Although the Third Hokage thought the suggestion was good, the village currently lacked the funds to train more medical ninjas, so it was rejected. Even Jiraiya, who had always supported her, chose to remain silent.

Seeing her proposal rejected, Tsunade angrily called the Third Hokage a "stinky old man."

Jiraiya's silence gave that man the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Everyone knows who that man is; it's Kato Dan.

Kato Dan's strong support left Tsunade completely bewildered, thinking: "Who are you, little brother? Do I know you?"

Despite her confusion, his appearance still brought a touch of warmth to Tsunade amidst the cold crowd.

Upon learning that Kato Dan's sister had also died in the war, the two, sharing a similar fate, grew closer.

[On a side note, Jiraiya, what the hell are you doing? When Tsunade desperately needed support, why the hell did you suddenly become so rational? Now look what happened, you got thwarted by Dan Kato. Serves you right for not being able to catch up with Tsunade, ouch~]

"Uh, Tsunade, it's not that I don't support you, but the village is indeed in trouble."

In the Third Hokage's timeline, upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade crossed her arms, looked at him coldly, and replied, "That's why I said you're an idiot. You act impulsively when you should be rational, and become rational when you should be impulsive."

"If I had stood up for you back then, would Kato Dan have been involved in anything?"

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then replied uncertainly, "Perhaps."

Just as Jiraiya was feeling regretful, Orochimaru interjected, "That's not necessarily true. Think about Kato Dan's methods; Jiraiya, you really can't compare to him."

Those who watched Kato's analysis believed that whether he was truly cunning or just expressing his true feelings, his methods were indeed very impressive.

"Huh? What methods are you using? What are you talking about?"

Tsunade hadn't seen Kato Dan's video compilation, so she naturally didn't know that the group of people in front of her didn't have a very good opinion of Kato Dan.

"It's nothing, let's continue watching the video."

Tsunade: ? ? ?

During her conversation with Dan Kato, Tsunade learned that his dream, like Nawaki's, was to become Hokage and protect everyone.

Perhaps it was at this moment that Tsunade fell for Dan Kato.

She mustered her courage and kissed Dan Kato, giving him the necklace that was a memento from Hashirama Senju, hoping he could fulfill his dream.

The necklace and the kiss appeared simultaneously, as if triggering a curse.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Also during World War II, Kato was severely wounded, and even his internal organs were blown out.

[Tsunade, a medical ninja, was powerless to help, watching helplessly as her loved ones slowly died.]

[Perhaps it was at this moment that Tsunade realized that medical ninjutsu proved utterly ineffective in the face of brutal warfare.]

[The tragic deaths of her younger brother and lover within a short period of time caused Tsunade to develop hemophobia.]

Having this disease also means that her career as a medical ninja has basically come to an end; from now on, she can only perform minor surgeries that don't involve blood.

[Because both Nawaki and Kato Dan dreamed of becoming Hokage, and the word Hokage was like a curse etched into Tsunade's heart, she believed that only a fool would choose to become Hokage.]

And so, Tsunade slowly became despondent.

But she also gave her last love and hope to her niece, Shizune.

She passed on all her medical ninjutsu to Shizune, but unfortunately, although Shizune was talented, she lacked the protagonist's plot armor and was destined not to learn Tsunade's strongest technique, the Hundred Healings Technique.

This incident also suggests that Tsunade, deep down, still believes that medical ninjutsu can protect her comrades.

"Tsunade, your grandfather, the Hokage, isn't an idiot."

In Tobirama's office, Hashirama looked at Tsunade with slight displeasure.

Tsunade was still angry with him, so she just snorted twice and ignored him.

Seeing that Tsunade was ignoring him, Hashirama turned to Tobirama and asked, "Little brother, do you think you're an idiot?"

"Could you please stop dragging me into every little thing?"

Tobirama gave Hashirama a disdainful look, an expression that made Madara and Izuna laugh.

Hearing Madara and Izuna laughing at him, Hashirama didn't let them get away with it, saying, "This is a conversation between Hokage. Do you two even understand?"

"Oh right, we're not Hokage, we can't understand your conversation."

"So, you're not even Hokage yet, and you still have the nerve to laugh?"

At this moment, Madara and Izuna, who had been laughing happily, immediately stopped laughing.

Izuna: Big brother, it seems like he's insulting you~

Madara: Hashirama, don't leave after the video ends, I want to fight you one-on-one!

Hashirama: Please allow me to refuse, I need to go home to be with my wife.
