The Senju Orphan, starting from Uchiha to destroy the ninja world

Chapter 40 Can’t make a choice, Tsunade’s heart is dead

Where the leaves dance, the fire is also endlessly alive?
Will of Fire.

This is something Tsunade has believed in for many years and has never doubted.

But now, she was shaken.

Kato Dan's death is still vivid in my mind.

It's already the Second Ninja War.

On the battlefield, his internal organs were broken alive by the enemy and he died.

At that time, Tsunade was still too young and had never blamed Konoha for her lover's death.

Her brother Shengshu also died in that war.

Shengshu, who was only 12 years old, fell into a trap by mistake and was killed by an explosive charm.

When the body was discovered, its internal organs had even been eviscerated.

Horrible!

Even after going through so much pain in the past.

Tsunade, suffering from hemophobia.

But when the Third Ninja War broke out and Konoha was in crisis.

She still rushed to the battlefield without hesitation to defend Konoha!
But, how did Konoha repay the Senju clan?

Senju Ai, Tsunade's cousin.

died.

The murderer didn't even get any punishment.

Senju Ranfeng, Tsunade's nephew.

In order to avenge his mother, he went astray.

Now Lan Feng is a vengeful evil ghost with no humanity.

And Konoha has never thought about what he did wrong.

Do you feel guilty about loving mother and son with Qianju?

After what happened, all they could think about was arresting Qian Hand Lanfeng.

Revenge against this, revenge against the boy from Konoha.

Once, even just once.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, if he dares to expose the truth of the matter before it happens.

When Qianshou Ai's mother and son were being persecuted, she had the courage to stand up.

Things would never have turned out the way they did today.

Qian Shu Ai will still be alive, and Lan Feng will not completely fall into darkness.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen never once tried to fight for the rights that they deserved for their mother and son.

Inaction, nothing from beginning to end.

"This is the true face of Konoha."

Sitting on the edge of the cliff, Tsunade's eyes were red and swollen.

Tears, all cried.

This is the place where Lanfeng jumped off a cliff and defected three years ago.

Tsunade didn't know this though.

However, there seemed to be some kind of arrangement that brought her here.

The wind blew, and Tsunade's heart felt like a thousand cuts.

"Do you want to continue taking revenge?" Tsunade murmured to herself.

Speaking of which, from ancient times to the present, it has always been the Uchiha who brought the Senju clan to their current fate.

But now, Uchiha Fugaku has been killed by Lanfeng himself.

Most of the Uchiha clan members were also killed or injured.

They have paid a heavy price.

Now Tsunade, even if she goes to kill all the remaining Uchiha people, what's the point?

"It's not necessary" Tsunade covered her eyes with her hands in pain.

Between the village and the last of his tribe.

Tsunade, there is no way to make a choice.

She couldn't forgive Konoha for what she did to the Senju clan.

But she also couldn't convince herself to join Lan Feng and continue her revenge against Konoha.

"I don't want to make a choice anymore."

"Why, must it be me, who has to bear this pain alone?"

"And the teacher can do nothing time and time again" Tsunade laughed at herself with a pale face.

She wished she could jump down from here and die!
"Master Tsunade!"

A young woman ran all the way from the forest of death and came to Tsunade panting.

He grabbed Tsunade who stood up unsteadily and was about to jump down at any moment. "Don't do anything stupid, Tsunade-sama." Shizune hugged Tsunade's waist and said with a cry, "You are not alone, you are with me."

If Tsunade insists on jumping, Shizune's strength alone won't be able to stop her.

But Tsunade didn't break away.

That's right.

Kato Dan's niece, Kato Shizune.

This girl is already Tsunade, almost her only relative in this world.

"When did I say that I would do stupid things?"

"Don't worry, Shizune." Tsunade turned around, hugged Shizune, and forced a smile.

Even if her heart was cut to pieces, Tsunade didn't want to cry in despair when facing Shizune.

But she really needs to think carefully about where to go next.

"After going through all this, I really have no choice but to go back to Konoha and face anyone in the village."

"I have thought about it. I want to exile myself from Konoha forever. I will no longer live as a ninja and become a gambler instead."

"Do you want to come with me, Shizune?" Tsunade touched Shizune's face lovingly.

Shizune opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

After a while, the girl, who was also tortured by her fate, nodded slightly.

The pair, who were more mother and daughter than mother and daughter, hugged each other tightly.

Tsunade, one of the Sannin of Konoha, no longer exists from now on.

There is only one, Konoha's fat sheep.

You will lose every time you gamble, but you go further and further on the road of gambling and become addicted to it.

Numb yourself.

"Let's go, mute."

Tsunade said softly, wiping the tears from Shizune's eyes.

Just as the two were about to cross the cliff and go to the other side.

The time to say goodbye to the village forever.

But a male voice came from behind.

"Do you really have to do this?"

This voice was all too familiar to Tsunade. She did not turn around and lowered her head.

Shizune turned around and looked around.

"Master Ziraiya"

Jiraiya was still young in this fashion, and the red tear lines at the corners of his eyes did not reach his chin.

Standing against a tree, not far away.

"If you cross this cliff now, you know what it means."

"This is defection!" Jiraiya said bluntly and bluntly.

Tsunade still had her back to Jiraiya.

There was no turning back and no answer.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and frowned.

"What difficulty cannot be solved?"

"Can escaping solve the problem? Tsunade, do you think you can escape for the rest of your life? Accept the reality."

"Don't be like Lan Feng, who made a big mistake in a moment of confusion!"

Jiraiya said it loud and clear.

But Tsunade, it was as if she didn't hear.

Standing in front of the cliff, motionless.

Jiraiya became a little anxious and punched the tree trunk. "Is it okay if I beg you?"

"I don't want you to leave the village. After all these years, I actually feel sorry for you in my heart."

"I've always been there for you."

"Stop talking, Jiraiya." Tsunade suddenly interrupted Jiraiya with a cold voice.

Why didn't she understand what Jiraiya wanted to say?

He is both a comrade in arms and a childhood sweetheart.

But this was not enough to stop Tsunade from exiling herself.

"I only have one thing to say to you."

Slowly turning around, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, her eyes dim.

"Time will prove that you fell in love with the wrong Konoha."

"Today's Konoha is no longer the village that grandpa founded."
