Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

However, Kabuto Yakushi remained somewhat wary, and had even already considered what to do if Tsunade returned.

Tsunade approached Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Seeing Orochimaru's serious expression, he said, "After I heal your hands, you'll probably still attack Konoha, right?"

Orochimaru looked at his old friend, thought for a moment, and, not wanting to lie to Tsunade, nodded and said, "Yes."

Tsunade frowned, but "260" couldn't bear to give up this opportunity when she thought of Nawaki and Kato Dan.

Just as she was about to agree to Orochimaru's request, Yu Ming's words from the previous night suddenly came to mind.

"Why do these transit group kids always produce 371 and 729119?"

Tsunade was already indecisive and unable to make up her mind, but then she remembered what Yu Ming had said yesterday.

She suddenly made up her mind: let the dead rest in peace. She figured that Nawaki and Kato Dan probably didn't want Tsunade to summon them back.

Cherishing the present is the most important thing.

For Tsunade, Konoha is the most important thing to her because it is the most precious treasure of her grandfather, her great-grandfather.

"And that little guy certainly wouldn't want me to make that kind of decision."

Thinking of Yu Ming's embarrassed expression, Tsunade made up her mind: "Orochimaru, I will not heal your hands."

Tsunade raised her head and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru originally thought he could succeed, but who knew Tsunade would say such a thing.

At this moment, Kabuto also frowned.

Orochimaru was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is that so? In that case, I'll have to use some methods to get you to heal me."

After saying that, Kabuto Yakushi immediately rushed towards Tsunade.

Having made up her mind, Tsunade naturally didn't hesitate any longer. She clenched her fist and punched at Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto took a step back.

Tsunade slammed her fist into the ground.

"Boom!"

The immense force instantly smashed the ground, shattering the ground within a radius of several meters.

The terrifying power was fully unleashed in that instant, and this was before she even activated the Hundred Healings Technique.

If the Hundred Healings Technique is activated, a single punch will shatter the ground within a radius of tens of meters, its power being in no way inferior to an A-rank ninjutsu.

It could be even more terrifying.

Seeing this, Kabuto quickly pulled Orochimaru back.

The two jumped onto the roof of a house.

Looking at Tsunade below, Kabuto Yakushi said with lingering fear, "Such powerful strength. If I had been hit by that punch, I would have really died."

Orochimaru, however, showed no concern whatsoever, and said in a hoarse voice, "After all these years, she's still so strong."

"However, with your skills and the right tactics, you should be able to take her down. I believe in you."

Orochimaru's tactics were actually based on Tsunade's hemophobia.

Yakushi Kabuto said speechlessly, "You really know how to talk. I was the one who fought her."

Seeing the power Tsunade had just displayed, Kabuto Yakushi felt that his tactics might not be effective against her at all.

Kabuto felt that the gap between the two was simply too great.

However, Tsunade had no intention of letting Orochimaru off the hook. Clenching her fists, she charged towards Kabuto and Orochimaru.

Upon seeing this, the two immediately ran towards the grassland behind the mountain.

Meanwhile, Yu Ming was sitting in Tsunade's room drinking tea.

"This woman ultimately chose to do that anyway, why bother?"

Yu Ming felt that he had made himself clear. He would also be reborn and wanted to see her brother and lover, and he could help her do so.

Yu Ming felt that even after doing all that, he still couldn't change Tsunade's decision, and he felt that his talk-no-jutsu was really not as powerful as Naruto's.

Yu Ming had always thought that he could persuade someone with his words, but now it seemed that he had really overestimated his ability to talk his way out of things.

In fact, Yu Ming had no idea that Tsunade was just worried that it would be very dangerous for Yu Ming to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Moreover, she didn't want Yu Ming to bear the stigma of toying with souls.

For Yu Ming, such stigma was of no benefit to a ninja with a bright future...

Just as Yu Ming was peacefully drinking tea in his room, Shizune opened the door to Tsunade's room and saw Yu Ming sitting inside drinking tea.

Completely stunned.

Fortunately, she has learned that Tsunade and Yu Ming's relationship has grown much closer in the past few days.

So after a moment of confusion, he asked, "Yu Ming, where is Lady Tsunade?"

Yu Ming took a sip of tea and calmly said, "They should have already gone to find Orochimaru."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya, who was walking behind Shizune, frowned. "What? They went to find Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya walked over and looked at Yu Ming.

Yu Ming nodded. "Yeah, I went to find Orochimaru. After drinking with her yesterday, she drugged me, and I just woke up."

Yu Ming's words made Jiraiya suddenly realize the truth.

"So that's how it is. She drugged me too. How awful! Did she really choose that path?"

"Yu Ming, we must stop Tsunade now, and in her current state, she is very likely to be killed by Orochimaru."

Jiraiya knew a little about Orochimaru.

This guy doesn't care about camaraderie anymore; he'd even kill a third-generation disciple. What does camaraderie mean to him?

Yu Ming, however, was not in a hurry at all.

She stood up and said, "Perhaps it's better for her to think this through herself. If she really treats Orochimaru, what can we do to stop her?"

"This is her choice. You can stop her once, but can you stop her a second time? The person Orochimaru wants to revive is someone very important to Lady Tsunade, right?"

Yu Ming's words made Jiraiya frown.

While that makes some sense, Jiraiya's current concern is that something might happen to Tsunade.

Orochimaru is a cunning, treacherous, and ruthless person; she was worried about Tsunade's safety.

"We'll see what choice she makes later. Right now, we need to get there quickly. Orochimaru might kill Tsunade."

Yu Ming nodded; he wasn't surprised at all by this.

So they went with Jiraiya and Shizune to the back mountain to find Tsunade.

Yu Ming followed behind Jiraiya and the others, not in a hurry.

Because he knew what was going to happen next.

On the way, Jiraiya asked Yu Ming what he and Tsunade had talked about the day before.

Chapter 132

Yu Ming gave a brief explanation, and Jiraiya said with a wry smile, "These are all Tsunade's regrets; it's no wonder she can't listen."

Yu Ming didn't care much; he was just trying to see if he could persuade her.

Yu Ming didn't find it strange that he couldn't persuade her.

Soon, the four arrived at the place where Tsunade and Orochimaru were fighting.

Shizune said, "It seems that Lady Tsunade has refused."

Shizune was particularly pleased to learn this information, because Tsunade had not made a decision that would cause great losses to Konoha.

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, but the problem now was that Tsunade was in danger. Judging from the intensity of the battle here, it was clear that the two sides had really clashed.

Shizune held Tunten and let it sniff out Tsunade's location.

Soon, Yu Ming and the others arrived at the back mountain.

As soon as they arrived at the back of the mountain, they saw Tsunade with blood on her face, kneeling in front of Kabuto Yakushi.

Orochimaru was standing right next to him.

Seeing Tsunade trembling all over and covered in blood, Jiraiya was enraged.

"Orochimaru, you actually attacked her."

Shizune rushed towards Tsunade, and Naruto did the same.

Yu Ming stood still, looking at Tsunade dozens of meters away, his brows furrowed.

At this moment, Tsunade seemed to have completely forgotten about the outside world, immersed in the memories of Nawaki and Kato Dan's deaths.

Yu Ming had always wanted to know what kind of illness this was.

He knew that some people did have fears after coming down from the battlefield, but none were as strong as Tsunade.

They had completely lost their ability to resist.

Just then, Tsunade shakily raised her head, as if she sensed a familiar person there.

When her gaze fell upon Yu Ming, Yu Ming looked at Tsunade with a puzzled expression.

The moment their eyes met, Tsunade suddenly gripped her clothes tightly with one hand.

Then Tsunade slowly lowered her head, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

Perhaps she felt guilty for drugging Yu Ming yesterday.

Yu Ming didn't understand what Tsunade's expression meant either.

However, Kabuto Yakushi wouldn't wait for Jiraiya and the others to come and rescue them.

He drew his kunai and walked towards Tsunade.

Tsunade, completely unaware of the situation, lowered her head and trembled.

Yu Ming's lips twitched slightly. "How did she manage to live and travel the ninja world?"
