As an Uchiha I became the Jinchuriki of Senju Tobirama

Chapter 26: Mystical Palm and Hidden Sorrows



“Mr. Duy, I have a small request, I hope you can consider it…”

Might Duy's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Please tell me, Kazuki-kun, as long as I can do it!"

“As you know, Mr. Duy, the Uchiha clan does not usually welcome outsiders, and it is difficult to find someone willing to look after our safety…”

Kazuki smiled awkwardly. "As for the treatment, I can only provide food and accommodation, and the compensation is calculated according to the C-level task."

"However, if it is Duy and Guy-kun, I can also provide the training resources."

Might Duy was stunned, and his face turned red.

For a moment, he thought that Kazuki might have discovered his secret and wanted him to teach him the Eight Gates technique…

A strong sense of guilt surged in his heart.

Lodging, food, training resources… For someone like him, a simple genin who could barely get low-level missions, these conditions were unthinkable.

After hearing this treatment, not only was Might Guy stunned, but even Shisui looked at his brother with a strange look.

—Although our family has money, isn’t this a bit too generous? In the Sengoku period, shinobi clans that hired personal bodyguards rarely offered such good conditions.

And now he was offering them to a mere genin? Even if he was the father of a friend, this generosity seemed almost like an act of charity.

Might Duy stared at Kazuki, and after a moment, he seemed to have made a decision in his heart and nodded with a firm expression.

“Since it is a favor that Kazuki-kun asks of me, I, the crazy Duy, cannot refuse it.”

Shortly after…

A blonde woman with a beautiful figure, a slight blush on her cheeks from the alcohol, watched from afar as Rin, who had awakened from the genjutsu and was excitedly trying out the Mystical Palm Technique, guided by Kazuki in the details. Slowly, she approached them.

"Interesting Uchiha kid, are you interested in medical ninjutsu?"

Big and beautiful.

This is Kazuki's first impression of Tsunade.

It's not that Kazuki was shallow, but her physical attributes were quite evident.

"Very interested... Medical ninjutsu can help our companions, allowing them to better take advantage of their potential and survive on the battlefield." Kazuki said, staring into Tsunade’s eyes.

"Kid, the battlefield will only make anyone's fate miserable, and medical ninjutsu can't save anyone..." Tsunade said coldly with a trace of disdain and sadness in her eyes. "You look fifteen or sixteen years old, right? How can you still be so naive? Are you another idiot who wants to become Hokage?"

"You are still an Uchiha, I really don't know what to say to you..."

Senju Tobirama silently looked at his beloved granddaughter, and his heart, which was just happy, suddenly became cold.

What kind of experiences had led her to express such bitter words and develop such resentment towards the Hokage?

But what worried Tobirama the most was the slight hint of hopelessness he perceived in Tsunade's eyes...

Tsunade's words left Guy, Duy, Rin and Shisui stunned. No one expected the disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha to say something so rebellious.

That definitely doesn't fit with the Will of Fire!

"I don't want to be a Hokage, I just want to protect the people around me." Kazuki shook his head and said slowly.

"Humph, naive kid..." Tsunade muttered disdainfully, fixing her gaze on Kazuki's Sharingan and then on Rin, shocked by what she saw.

Can the Uchiha clan's Sharingan be used in this way?

A little girl who doesn't even wear a shinobi sash, and yet, with the help of the Sharingan, easily masters the Mystical Palm Technique...

Tsunade recalled the idea she proposed that year-adding a medical-nin to each team to ensure the survival rate of the shinobi.

If I could have the help of the Sharingan...

But just as this thought came up, Tsunade threw it out of her mind. Her important people, from Hashirama, Tobirama to Nawaki, died one after another. She was too tired to think.

"What's your name?" Tsunade asked quietly. “Show your Mystical Palm Technique. Medical techniques are not simple ninjutsu; improper handling will only worsen the patient’s injuries.”

"His name is Kazuki, and he is my lifelong opponent!" Might Guy frowned and shouted to Tsunade: "Kazuki's green ninjutsu is not crude, he uses it very well!"

"How can an aunt like you understand the youthful bond between us!"

Aunt...

Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly, and a murderous look appeared in her eyes.

“Dear Sister Tsunade, please guide me. I really appreciate it.” Kazuki kicked Might Guy without a trace, stood in front of him, and gathered exquisite medical chakra in his hands.

“Kid, at least you know how to talk…” Tsunade snorted, shooting a glare at a confused Might Guy before seriously focusing on Kazuki's Mystical Palm Technique.

But soon, Tsunade looked more and more seriously, and even the blush on her face gradually dissipated, and she was stunned.

Even when it comes to the same technique, each person has a different approach, especially with the Mystic Palm, which requires extremely precise chakra control. But Kazuki's technique felt strangely familiar and at the same time unfamiliar to Tsunade, plunging her into a sea of ​​thoughts.

Kazuki smiled at Tsunade, and there was even a trace of kindness in her eyes.

Tsunade, stunned, kept her gaze fixed on Kazuki, and memories of thirty years ago unfolded before her eyes.

At that time, she was still a little girl, younger than Nohara Rin.

Sitting on the desk of her second grandfather and making a fuss, the helpless Senju Tobirama could only coax her gently and teach Tsunade the Mystical Palm Technique that she had been thinking about.

It can be said that those were the most carefree days in Tsunade's life.

But soon, the nightmare began.

Her loved ones died in battle one after another, and those companions and teachers she once knew began to become unrecognizable; some following the prophecies of the toads, others pursuing immortality, and others intoxicated by the intrigues of power…

Tsunade was left alone, wandering in this strange shinobi world.

"You..." After a long time, Tsunade woke up, looking at Kazuki's Sharingan and caring eyes with a complicated expression, and she couldn't help but sigh in her mind: 'He looks so much alike, he really does…'

But Kazuki's Sharingan reminded Tsunade of the difference between the two and made her feel absurd and funny.

If the second grandfather knew that he thought a Uchiha kid was very similar to him, would he be so angry that he ran back from the Pure Land to scold her?

But if it could come true, Tsunade wouldn't mind doing it.

"You have learned the Mystical Palm Technique very well. You are very talented..." Tsunade sighed weakly, and her hands also lit up with fluorescence. She said slowly: "But you can still improve. I will demonstrate the nature change of Yang Release Chakra. Watch carefully."

Tsunade's Mystical Palm Technique changed its form. She was confident in the use of medical ninjutsu. Even Senju Tobirama, who taught her in the past, would not be stronger than her.

Kazuki nodded, the tomoe in his eyes rotated, and he carefully observed the flow of chakra in Tsunade's body.

Kazuki easily imitated Tsunade's special Mystic Palm technique and said with a smile: "Is that so?"

Tsunade, who had just come out of her reverie, was once again puzzled.

When she was a child, every time Tsunade came up with a little trick to show off to Senju Tobirama, she would experience this scene.

The second grandfather, who was extremely talented, could always replicate her ninjutsu in the next moment, and then gently touched her head.

“…I have nothing more to teach you, child Kazuki.” Tsunade said with a long sigh, carefully observing Kazuki's face, and after a moment of thought, she turned around and left. However, her eyes filled with tears inexplicably.

Kazuki watched her silently as she walked away.

But Senju Tobirama couldn't help it anymore: "Kazuki, tell me, what's wrong with Tsunade?"

"I only know a rough idea about her."

Kazuki did not keep Tobirama on hold. It was obvious that the former Second Hokage was really anxious.

"Her brother, Nawaki, died in the Second Shinobi World War, and it seems a love interest died as well... In that war, Hanzo of the Salamander fought against Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, and gave them the title of the Sannin, which made them famous in Konoha for a time."

"But I heard that there seems to be a rift in the relationship between these three people recently, and even conflicts with their teacher, the Third Hokage."

"According to rumors, she suffers from hemophobia and will faint when she sees blood, but it is not certain whether it is true or not."

Senju Tobirama frowned. Is even Nawaki dead?

But he did not think too much about it. War is so cruel. Even he, the Second Hokage, died, let alone Nawaki.

But even so, Tsunade's experience still made him feel heartbroken.

"It can't be helped, Tobirama..."

Kazuki sat beside Senju Tobirama and said with emotion: “Tsunade’s childhood was enviable, with such a high origin and many loved ones who adored her, but the turn in her destiny was surprisingly fast…”

"The continuous changes and wars, as well as your treatment of the Senju clan, made it almost impossible for her to find those relatives who loved her, and her former companions also went on other paths."

"This feeling of being alone is quite fatal for a woman, right?"
