Chương 167: Curing Tsunade.

Ultra Fighter nodded and moved to stand in front of Tsunade while Tsunade relaxed her shoulders slightly.

"Will this hurt?" Tsunade asked softly. Ultra Fighter laughed, "That's what she said…"

"Huh? What?"

"Nothing. No this won't hurt. I'll be as gentle and as smooth as a criminal." Ultra Fighter was about to extend his Leglimency probe into Tsunade's mind after matching gazes with her when Tsunade suddenly raised her hand.

"Is there a way to let me overcome this on my own?" Tsunade asked at the last second. Ultra Fighter paused and frowned in thought.

"Hmm… if you allow me to mess with your mind a little… I could trap you in a world where you won't be able to come out without overcoming your fear of blood naturally… However the process will be extremely dangerous since I'll be locking away your memories for the duration of the process, making you a sitting duck that can be killed by just about anyone." Tsunade frowned.

She looked Ultra Fighter up and down for a few seconds before speaking once again, "I'd like Jiraiya to be here so that he can control me if things go wrong."

"I don't mind." Ultra Fighter shook his head.

"I'd recommend adding your third friend too in fact… but I guess you don't trust him just yet."

"What Orochimaru did in the future has no relation with what he is now. No matter what, he's currently a shinobi who betrayed the village, nothing changes that." Ultra Fighter simply nodded, said nothing more and allowed Tsunade to get up and move towards the village. Tsunade sensed Jiraiya's location and narrowed down his position to a woman's bath where kunoichi on night patrol were taking a break to cleanse themselves before going to sleep.

"JIRAIYAAA!!!!" Tsuande shouted, punching right through the wall before grabbing him by his collar. After slapping him enough, and turning him black and blue, Tsunade collected Jiraiya like a sack of potatoes and brought him back to the Senju Compound.

"Sho?" Jiraiya asked through his swollen cheeks, "Whi sid you want to shee me?" (Why did you want to see me?) Tsunade looked frustratedly at Jiraiya before speaking with a huff, "I need you to keep watch over me while Ultra Fighter cures me."

"Cure youh?" Jiraiya asked confusedly.

"Yes, he'll help me overcome my hemophobia." Jiraiya's eyes narrowed sharply, "How?" Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. Tsunade's eyes shifted slightly before she replied softly, "He'll trap me in a genjutsu…"

"What!?" Jiraiya immediately used the mystic palm jutsu on his face for a minute before speaking again, "Are you seriously going to let him mess with your mind?! Tsunade we don't know who he even is!" But Tsunade shook her head, "This is important Jiraiya, if you won't agree, I'll ask Kakashi and Shizune to keep me safe." Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and then sighed deeply, "You're always so forceful… you won't get married at that rate you know."

The veins on Tsunade's forehead twitched as she readied her hands again, but before she could do anything else, Jiraiya raised his own hands in surrender, "Alright… alright… I'll help you. So where is your doctor?" Tsunade simply looked to the side and nodded to Ultra Fighter to reveal himself. Jiraiya looked at the man for a second before sighing deeply, "Do you need that ridiculous mask?"

"It's an important part of Ultra Fighter's identity."

"Who gave you that name?"

"My little brother."

"Wha-" Tsunade huffed again, "Stop interrogating him like you're my father." Jiraiya huffed himself before speaking calmly, "Alright, what do you want me to do?"

"Just sit there." Ultra Fighter said to Jiraiya before turning to Tsunade.

"Should we begin now?" Tsunade nodded. Ultra fighter appeared in front of Tsunade once again, matching gazes with her before chakra rapidly drained from his body, nothing stopping him this time.

"Done." Ultra Fighter said calmly, wiping away the imaginary sweat from his forehead as Tsunade collapsed to the floor of the room. Jiraiya caught her and laid her on her back while looking suspiciously at Ultra Fighter, "What did you do to her exactly?"

"Well… you'll see when she wakes up." Ultra Fighter said before vanishing.

Tsunade looked at her brother's last moments before he left for the second shinobi war. Her expression however looked confused.

"Huh? Who's that brat… why did he jump into an explosion tag like that?"

".... who is that snake like bastard? Why do I feel like punching him?"

"Well… let's cure that little boy… let's see if he can make it…" Tsunade said calmly while handling the mutilated body of Nawaki. After a few minutes, Tsunade sighed, there was a slight pain in her heart, nothing too major, and she spoke softly, "Too bad kiddo… you're not going to make it. Did you have a family? I'll inform them about you." Suddenly Tsunade's pupils dilated, her eyes trembled as she gasped, "Blood… Nawaki…"

"NAWAKII!!!!!!" Tsunade screamed her heart out as she grieved in pain. Suddenly the world shattered before the simulation started once again, "Huh? Who's that brat… why did he jump into an explosion tag like that?"

Haruto was dreaming about random things while sitting on the toilet when he suddenly felt something slot in place in his body with a click that was audible only to him. Suddenly a rush of memories made its way towards his head that he didn't even have the time to control with his Occlumency, not like he could've even stopped it since these memories came not from the mind but from the merger of two souls.

Clenching his fists tight, Haruto controlled himself from groaning out loud before he sharply opened his eyes with a look of shock accompanied by a smile.

'Who would've thought I'd have bullshitted my way through so much that Tsunade would believe me so deeply!?'

'Hmm… all that's nice but I wonder what now.'

'What will Tsunade do now, after knowing all of that?'

'I wonder if she'll go through with the treatment properly…'

'There is a slight risk of her developing a split personality… but if that happens I'll just erase the one that isn't cured… that should fix everything.'

'Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh on her… but this was revenge for her annoying me and reading my memories without asking me first.' Haruto cleaned himself and got up from the seat after a quick clean before taking a quick shower as he continued to think about what he would do next.

'Madara is back alive, roaming the world now…'

'Will Hashirama be able to take him out?'

'The Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu that Orochimaru gave me still couldn't overcome the need for a good sacrificial vessel… which means that the current Madara is not at his full strength.'

'So will a Hashirama who will be reincarnated using a half decent sacrifice be enough?'

'That's quite risky…' Haruto thought to himself before frowning.

'Can I use Edward's alchemy to combine soul vessels to give birth to an equivalent vessel that has much more potential than normal?' Haruto, while dousing his head in cold water, performed a few calculations and sighed deeply.

'No… unless I combine the soul vessels of all the Kage… I doubt I'll get anywhere near Hashirama's level… and even then it'll be a cheap copy… nothing like the true Hashirama who can unleash true several thousand bonks.' Haruto looked frustratedly at his reflection in the mirror in the bathroom.

'Just how did Kabuto pull off a full potential resurrection of Madara?'

'And how were the Kage later resurrected with their full potential?'
