Chapter 343 Naruto: I won the bet.

A week later, it was time to meet Orochimaru, and also the day for the bet with Naruto.

[Tsunade had already decided to deal with Orochimaru alone, so before going to the appointment, she secretly drugged Jiraiya and went to see Orochimaru by herself.]

Orochimaru thought he could easily subdue Tsunade with Nawaki and Dan, but he underestimated Tsunade's Will of Fire.

[She's Hashirama's granddaughter and the Third Hokage's student!]

[Tsunade pretends to treat Orochimaru, but in reality, she prepares to kill him at close range.]

[But her murderous intent was detected by Kabuto, who interrupted Tsunade's spellcasting.]

But Orochimaru still had a trump card: he knew Tsunade had a weakness—hemophobia.

"Tch~ You actually believe I have hemophobia?"

In the Third Hokage's timeline, Tsunade looked at Orochimaru with a strange expression.

"Based on the information I've gathered, you do indeed suffer from hemophobia."

"Yes, I did suffer from hemophobia after Nawaki and Danji died, but that was so many years ago, and I'm all better now."

"So you're deliberately continuing to pretend you have this disease?"

"If I hadn't pretended I wasn't better, the old man would have sent someone to call me back to the village long ago."

Tsunade rolled her eyes.

At that time, she was utterly disappointed with Konoha Village and wanted to escape, so she had no intention of returning to the village.

If the three generations of old men knew that she was cured, they would definitely keep sending people to call her back.

This is too much trouble. It's better to pretend to be sick. This will not only prevent people from Konoha from coming, but also deceive those who have ill intentions towards her.

And that's how Orochimaru on the light screen took the bait.

Orochimaru and Kabuto deliberately lured Tsunade to an open area, which also depleted some of her strength.

[However, Kabuto, lacking medical ethics, took a pill and regained his strength.]

However, in Tsunade's eyes, Kabuto was nothing more than a brat. She overwhelmed him head-on with her monstrous strength, and Kabuto couldn't even lift his head in a fight.

At this point, Kabuto Yakushi realized that he couldn't possibly be a match for Tsunade in a direct confrontation; the only way to win was through skillful maneuvering.

Taking advantage of Tsunade's momentary lapse in recovery after her attack, Kabuto seized the opportunity to sever Tsunade's muscle and followed up with a blow to her intercostal muscles, causing Tsunade to instantly feel her breathing become rapid.

Only then did she realize that she had underestimated her opponent, but from now on, she would not underestimate her opponent again.

Just as Kabuto was smugly mocking Tsunade, Tsunade swiftly defeated him.

Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat: Kabuto, this guy, dares to act so arrogantly even when fighting Tsunade? I wouldn't dare.

[Tsunade's seemingly ordinary attack was actually quite extraordinary; she directly disrupted Kabuto's nerves, causing him to try to control his hands but instead move his feet.]

However, Kabuto's reaction speed shocked Tsunade; in just a few dozen seconds, Kabuto had already regained control of this out-of-control state.

"Oh? This kid's pretty capable."

Tsunade crossed her arms, giving full recognition to Kabuto Yakushi's talent.

"That's right, Kabuto has always been my most capable assistant."

"It's a bit of a pity that this kid's direct combat ability isn't very good; he can only resort to some tricks."

Tsunade could easily guess that the next thing she would do was for the other party to use hemophobia to deal with her on the light screen.

If that's the case, then I'll definitely prepare a big gift for the other party.

"Kabuto might have lacked direct combat ability in the past, but now..."

At this point, Orochimaru looked at Tsunade very seriously and continued, "Having learned the Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique, he has perfectly made up for his own shortcomings. Even you would suffer a great loss if you were not careful."

"You're incredibly carefree to send him to Ryuchi Cave to learn immortal arts. Aren't you worried he'll betray you?"

Tsunade had only been back for two or three months, and she had only met Kabuto two or three times in total. She hadn't seen any of his previous videos, so she didn't know much about him.

However, she knows Orochimaru.

In her opinion, Orochimaru would never be so kind as to genuinely arrange for Kabuto Yakushi to learn Sage Mode.

Perhaps, there's some kind of ulterior motive behind this.

"You don't know Kabuto's past. As long as I have Yakushi Nonou in my hands, I don't have to worry about him betraying me. Moreover, having learned Sage Mode, he can better cooperate with me in researching the Cursed Seal."

"Yakushi Nonou? I think I've heard that name before."

Upon hearing the name, Tsunade frowned.

"This person was the director of the Konoha Orphanage back then. If she hadn't adopted Kabuto, he would probably be dead by now."

"Just a simple orphanage director?"

"That's not it. Besides being the director of the orphanage, she was also an intelligence agent under Danzo's command."

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

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more."

Knowing that Yakushi Nonou was Danzo's subordinate, Tsunade could imagine what his final fate would be.

"So Danzo really deserved to die, don't you think, old man?"

"What's it to me? You can talk about him all you want, but don't drag me into it."

"Look, even the old man doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Danzo is such a failure as a person."

Kabuto, having regained control of his body, charged at Tsunade once more, ready to make her taste blood, when a puff of smoke appeared, and Jiraiya arrived just in time with Shizune and Naruto.

[Tsunade used the opportunity to heal herself, and then launched a counterattack against Kabuto.]

Cornered and with no other option, Kabuto pierced his own hand with a kunai, splattering blood all over Tsunade.

Upon seeing the blood, Tsunade trembled violently and instantly lost her fighting ability.

At this moment, the battle has been divided into two battlefields.

Orochimaru deals with Jiraiya, while Kabuto deals with Tsunade, Shizune, and Naruto, who are afraid of blood.

Although Shizune has mastered Tsunade's skills, the gap between her and Kabuto is still too great; she was defeated in just a few moves.

At this moment, only Naruto can protect Tsunade.

[But Naruto unexpectedly unleashed a Rasengan, sending Kabuto flying.]

However, Kabuto also severed the meridians around Naruto's heart.

Seeing Naruto successfully master the Rasengan, Tsunade remembered her bet with Naruto.

[Tsunade: We haven't fulfilled our promise yet, you can't die.]

The deaths of her younger brother and lover awakened Tsunade's instinct to save lives. She also dropped her pretense and, covered in blood, began treating Naruto.

But Naruto was on the verge of death, and even Kurama (the Nine-Tails) had begun to sleep.

Tsunade's kiss carries a curse, but her tears can offer redemption.

Naruto's small hand touched Tsunade's necklace, and he weakly said, "I won the bet."

At this moment, Tsunade once again saw the shadows of her younger brother and lover in Naruto.

She placed the promised necklace around Naruto's neck, thus acknowledging his Will of Fire.
