Chapter 84: Temporarily Curing Tsunade’s Hemophobia

Seeing Tsunade’s expression, Naruto knew she didn’t believe him.

He didn’t bother saying anything else.

Chakra suddenly erupted from his body!

A powerful shockwave burst outward!

The chakra containing an immense amount of vitality surged wildly across his skin, almost solidifying into a tangible substance.

Even the potted plants in the room were affected by this chakra, growing vigorously.

Tsunade’s pupils contracted.

Forget about the amount of chakra.

Just this vitality alone was already comparable to her grandfather’s, wasn’t it?

It was simply inclined in a different direction.

One focused more on strengthening oneself.

The other was more suited for healing.

As for the amount of chakra, seeing how relaxed Naruto looked, Tsunade finally believed him.

After briefly revealing the enormous chakra reserves within his body, Naruto immediately concealed them again.

"Tsunade-sama, there shouldn’t be any problems now, right?"

Hearing this, Tsunade put her thoughts aside and casually brushed back the hair that had been blown out of place.

"Then what about the problem of me being unable to perform the surgery? How are you going to solve that?"

Naruto had just told her that she could bring up any problems and he would find a way to solve them.

Now that the other problems had been resolved, he had yet to mention the fact that she couldn’t perform surgery.

Tsunade vaguely suspected that Naruto already had an idea.

Although she didn’t have much hope, she still wanted to hear what method he had in mind.

Naruto spoke.

"Tsunade-sama, your inability to perform surgery should be because of hemophobia, right?"

Tsunade’s hand trembled slightly, and she nodded.

This was her secret.

But to anyone who had taken the time to investigate, it wasn’t really a secret.

For one thing, quite a few people in Konoha knew about it.

For another, anyone who looked into the fact that she hadn’t performed surgery for so many years could make a reasonable guess.

Now that she knew Naruto had come prepared, Tsunade began to have some expectations regarding his next method.

Naruto continued.

"For a psychological disorder, I can use a genjutsu to strengthen Tsunade-sama’s willpower and make you confront the trauma in your heart."

Hearing this, Tsunade couldn’t help shaking her head with a laugh.

Shizune, who was standing nearby, also lowered her head in disappointment.

If a genjutsu could solve the problem, the many genjutsu experts in Konoha would have already helped Tsunade overcome it.

Seeing that they clearly didn’t believe him, Karin curled her lips.

"Not many people in the shinobi world can compare to Naruto when it comes to genjutsu."

Genjutsu in the shinobi world was dominated by the Sharingan.

The Sharingan was even known as the Eye of Genjutsu.

And Naruto’s Mangekyo Sharingan was the ultimate ocular technique of the Sharingan, so his attainments in genjutsu naturally stood at the pinnacle of the shinobi world.

Karin’s thinking was very simple.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and immediately covered her mouth.

Kimimaro, standing nearby, subconsciously nodded with lingering fear.

After all, he had been defeated by Uchiha Izumi with a single glance back then.

Naruto also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, so his genjutsu naturally couldn’t be weak.

Naruto remained expressionless on the surface, but inwardly he was speechless.

Wasn’t he supposed to be Menma?

"Oh? If that’s the case, then you can give it a try."

Hearing Naruto’s name, Tsunade only felt that it sounded somewhat familiar and didn’t pay much attention to it.

The name itself was extremely ordinary.

As long as the surname wasn’t combined with it, there shouldn’t be any problem.

What interested her was Karin’s claim that there were very few people in the shinobi world who could compare to Naruto in genjutsu.

"Tsunade-sama."

Shizune tugged at Tsunade’s sleeve, eyeing Naruto warily.

A genjutsu wasn’t something one could casually agree to test.

If the other party harbored malicious intentions, the person under the genjutsu would be completely at their mercy.

Tsunade patted Shizune’s hand, signaling that everything was fine.

Then she looked toward Naruto.

For Tsunade, who had never experienced something like Tsukuyomi, breaking out of a genjutsu while fully prepared wasn’t difficult.

That was how confident she was.

"Tsunade-sama, then I apologize in advance."

Naruto’s eyes instantly transformed into crimson Mangekyo Sharingan.

The ocular technique in his right eye activated instantly.

Kotoamatsukami!

The moment Tsunade saw the Sharingan, her pupils contracted slightly.

But in the next instant—

She was already under the genjutsu.

"The Sharingan!"

Shizune was horrified.

She quickly drew a kunai and was just about to charge at Naruto and fight him to the death.

Although his eyes were different from an ordinary Sharingan, that cold, sinister feeling was unmistakable.

It was definitely the Sharingan!

The Uchiha and Senju clans had jointly founded Konoha.

But the Uchiha and Senju clans had never truly gotten along.

At this moment, Shizune even began to suspect that Naruto had deliberately used treating Tsunade as an excuse to set her up and place her under a genjutsu.

"Shizune!"

Tsunade shouted, stopping her.

"Tsunade-sama, are you all right?"

Hearing her voice, Shizune was overjoyed and immediately turned around.

But Tsunade directly snatched the kunai from Shizune’s hand and slashed her own palm.

Shhk!

Tsunade stared fixedly at the wound in her palm.

Blood dripped onto the floor, drop after drop, yet she didn’t react in the slightest.

Shizune’s pupils contracted.

Her hands instinctively covered her mouth.

Tsunade-sama wasn’t trembling!

Tsunade-sama’s expression hadn’t changed!

Tsunade continued staring at the wound for more than ten seconds.

Then a smile appeared on her face.

A pale green glow emerged from her injured palm.

The wound instantly healed.

"Tsunade-sama, you..."

Shizune could barely speak.

She couldn’t believe it.

She truly couldn’t believe it!

The problem that had plagued Tsunade for more than a decade had actually been solved with nothing more than a genjutsu!

"Mm."

Tsunade gave a reserved hum, concealing the excitement surging through her heart.

She then looked toward Naruto.

"Are you an Uzumaki or an Uchiha?"

Naruto answered indifferently.

"Do people like us still deserve to have something like that?"

He absolutely couldn’t say that he was an Uzumaki.

Otherwise, once Tsunade put the pieces together—

Uzumaki Naruto?

The name of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was extremely famous throughout the shinobi world.

Now that his Sharingan had been exposed, Tsunade naturally couldn’t continue doubting that Naruto was connected to Konoha.

Hearing this, Tsunade fell silent.

Whether Uchiha or Uzumaki, both clans had already been wiped out.

Did a surname still matter?

Naruto gestured toward Kimimaro.

"Tsunade-sama, can we begin?"

"Whenever you’re ready."

With that, Tsunade turned toward Shizune.

"Shizune, prepare the surgical equipment."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Shizune answered excitedly.

She quickly took out a sealing scroll, released the surgical equipment stored inside, and arranged everything properly.

This was the same medical equipment she normally used.

Whenever Tsunade accepted a medical mission that required surgery and bloodshed, Shizune was the one responsible for performing it.

Anything she couldn’t handle had to be rejected outright.

Now, Tsunade could finally pick up a scalpel again.

Shizune was filled with anticipation.

Tsunade seemed to suddenly think of something and turned toward Naruto.

"How long can your genjutsu last?"

Tsunade had just secretly examined her own body and discovered that she was indeed still under the influence of the genjutsu.

Since she already knew she had been placed under a genjutsu, it wasn’t difficult to detect its traces.

Tsunade quickly understood.

The genjutsu had merely temporarily prevented her hemophobia from affecting her.

It wasn’t a permanent cure.

There would eventually come a day when the effect wore off.

Now that she was no longer troubled by hemophobia, she felt as though both her mind and body had been completely revitalized.

The sensation was truly wonderful.

Tsunade didn’t want to return to her previous state.

Nearby, Shizune’s hands stopped as she arranged the surgical equipment.

She immediately understood as well, and the happiness on her face faded into disappointment.

Naruto answered, "As long as Tsunade-sama doesn’t dispel it herself, I think I can maintain it for several months without a problem."

Tsunade stared deeply at Naruto.

A genjutsu capable of affecting someone for several months...

That was truly extraordinary.

What the young Uzumaki girl had said about there being very few people in the shinobi world who could compare to him clearly wasn’t an exaggeration.

Moreover, this genjutsu had allowed her, after more than a decade of despair, to regain her fighting spirit.

If he could accomplish something like this, then accomplishing other things would probably be just as easy.
