Chapter 238: From Fake Drama to Real Feelings, From Real Feelings to Real Drama
A smile curved Akiyama Makoto's lips.
Acting? Who can't act?
Tsunade had Shizune as her supporting actress, and he had Orochimaru. Let's see whose acting was better.
[Tsunade is enraged and immediately rushes forward, trying to snatch you back. However, Orochimaru simply bites his tongue, forcing her to retreat, her body trembling. He laughs and mocks her, saying that she's still playing at seducing others.]
[At the same time, Orochimaru bluntly states his intentions. He needs her medical ninjutsu for an experiment. As long as she agrees to help, he will let you go, and can even let you and her be happily married.]
[Tsunade, naturally, scoffs at this, saying she was just playing with you and doesn't care if you live or die. To prove her words, she even says that he can break all of your limbs right now.]
[To her surprise, Orochimaru chooses to believe her words. He then says that if she doesn't like you, he can use the Reanimation Jutsu to summon Dan Katō or Nawaki, allowing her to reunite with her loved ones.]
[Immediately after, Orochimaru takes out a kunai, preparing to plunge it into the back of your head. Tsunade loses her mind and, ignoring her hemophobia, charges forward, ready to fight him for three hundred rounds. At the critical moment, Jiraiya and Naruto finally arrive. There are no pleasantries; the Sannin battle begins directly.]
[However, Jiraiya and the hemophobic Tsunade combined are no match for a healthy Orochimaru. It gets to the point where he actually summons Dan Katō. Seeing this, Tsunade's eyes look as if they are about to split, and blood trickles from the corner of her mouth.]
[Next, Dan Katō, after being briefed by Orochimaru, quickly understands the situation. Seeing Tsunade again should have been a joyous occasion. But he shows no concern or care for her. Instead, he very seriously begins to criticize her.]
[He doesn't blame her for "betraying" him, but for playing with your feelings and then mercilessly abandoning you. He says she should walk out of the shadows of the past, and since she has found someone who moves her heart, she should bravely pursue them, not be trapped in the past, unable to extricate herself.]
Seeing this, Makoto felt that he really wanted to go and watch this melodrama. Especially the part where Dan Katō was scolding Tsunade. Jiraiya was probably dumbfounded, right? Didn't I just come here with this guy to participate in the Sannin battle? How, in the blink of an eye, has he already had a relationship with Tsunade and... died?
He wasn't even that concerned with the outcome anymore. He just wanted to see how Tsunade would implode.
[Tsunade is overwhelmed with shame. Her joy at seeing Dan has vanished, and her mind is filled with only sadness and indignation. Finally, she helplessly asks Dan: You're already dead, she can't save anyone. What's the point of trying so hard?]
[At this moment, Dan, taking advantage of Orochimaru's inattention, uses his Spirit Transformation Technique, flies into her body, and tells her that Orochimaru didn't capture you; the one who died was just one of his subordinates. The enraged Tsunade goes all out, chasing after Orochimaru.]
[Because she is so angry, she even overcomes her hemophobia. Of course, it could also be because seeing Dan has helped her get over her psychological trauma. Orochimaru tries to control Dan to attack her, but after using his jutsu, Dan is temporarily out of his control.]
[With Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the "soul" of Dan Katō—two and a half Sannin against one—Orochimaru is steadily forced back. In the end, Kabuto has to take Shizune and Naruto hostage to end the battle. Orochimaru retreats. He summons the body used for Dan's reanimation, and sure enough, it's not you.]
[A light of hope flashes in Tsunade's eyes. She begins to frantically search for you. She finally finds you, knocked out, under a large tree. She rushes up, holds you, and checks your condition. Discovering that you are safe and sound, she reveals a smile of relief, and then lowers her head to kiss you.]
[At this time, Jiraiya, having confirmed that Naruto and Shizune are safe, arrives late. Seeing this scene, he scratches his head, speechless. He can't help but complain, "You're this old, how can you still fall for a young guy?" He is then promptly sent flying by her punch, not even getting the chance to clearly state your identity.]
Seeing this, Makoto couldn't help but laugh. Punching Jiraiya had become a muscular habit for Tsunade, and he had just gotten used to taking it. If it had been anyone else, Jiraiya would have had a chance to tell the truth.
Now that things had reached this point, he faintly saw a glimmer of hope. Could it be... that this time, she would actually have his child?
[You wake up at the appropriate time. Seeing her, you are not angry, but instead reveal a smile. She is about to explain, but her stubborn heart also melts at your smile. You continue to kiss, until you push her down, wanting to go a step further. Only then does she shyly push you away, saying, "There's something I have to tell you later." ]
[You know you can't force her, so you just nod. You then use a shadow clone to find Jiraiya, telling him to keep your secret. Otherwise, you'll print out all his dirty laundry and scatter it all over the ninja world. Jiraiya, knowing that you, a Hiraishin user, have the ability to do this, can only nod and agree.]
[And just after you disappear, she rushes over, grabs Jiraiya by the collar, and tells him to keep her identity and age a secret. Otherwise, she will beat him up every time she sees him, until he can no longer take care of himself.]
[At this point, Jiraiya finally understands your relationship. While finding it hilarious, he also feels a trace of happiness for her. He doesn't think the two of you can last, but seeing his old partner walk out of her gloom because of you, he is still very happy.]
[Afterward, you return to Tanzaku Town to celebrate your victory. Tsunade holds your arm like a girl in love. Jiraiya watches this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Naruto asks who she is. Jiraiya can only reply that she is Shizune's older sister, and that they are powerful traveling medical-nin. He doesn't even dare to mention making her the Hokage.]
[That night, Tsunade is drinking on the roof again. After preparing herself mentally, she finds you, ready for a showdown. She tells you that she is one of the Sannin, Tsunade, a contemporary of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, not some "older sister" who is just a few years older than you.]
[She tells you that if you are willing, she can accompany you for a while longer, until you get tired of her. But, at the same time, she is destined not to be able to walk with you to the end. She hopes that if you can't accept this, you will choose to leave peacefully and let her return to her original life.]
[But looking at her expectant eyes, you, who had originally planned to have a showdown with her as well, change your mind. You tell her that your love for her has nothing to do with her age, and that you can use your actions to prove yourself. She asks how. You push her down and untie the sash of her kimono.]
[She does not refuse you, and you use your actions to prove yourself. This night, she becomes a true woman. The wonderful taste makes her erupt with decades of pent-up passion, and you also display a combat power far beyond that of an ordinary person, making it so that she is never able to defeat you.]
[She already senses that something is wrong, but she numbs herself, forcing herself to forget the doubts in her heart and to focus on enjoying this romance with you. When the two of them wake up the next morning, she clamps her hand around your throat.]
Seeing this, Makoto is startled. Is she a praying mantis? After a night of passion, she's going to turn on her husband?
But it wasn't surprising. Even if he could use some tricks to hide his Yin Seal, she, who had personally experienced his combat power, would definitely know how strong he was. She could accept having a new lover, but she probably couldn't accept being deceived.
But... they were both deceivers. Who could blame whom?
[She questions you: Who are you, what is your purpose, and where did this strength come from? Faced with her questions, you just place your hand on her back and use the Formless Wave. She then loses the ability to move and once again becomes a 'fat sheep' in your hands.]
[You 'eat' her until noon before you finally let her go. You then use the Yin Seal in front of her, telling her: "Actually, I am your husband. You came from the future and taught me the Yin Seal." ]
[Faced with this nonsense, she naturally doesn't believe you. But you then display all the medical ninjutsu you "learned" from her, including even the Body Pathway Derangement and the Summoning Jutsu. Only then does her expression waver, half-believing.]
[You then say: It was she who told you to come to Tanzaku Town to find her at this time, that she would fall in love with you, and would have your child. You would become a happy couple. Hearing this, she is so red-faced she can't believe her future self would do such a shameless thing.]
[She still wants to argue, but you bring out a temptation she can't resist. You cast the True Spirit Seal on her, and tell her that this was a technique you researched together in the future. As she feels her body evolve from "surface-level" youth to true youth, she realizes the greatness of this technique.]
[From now on, long life is no longer a delusion. And the most crucial thing is, you can mass-produce 'immortals'! Her gaze towards you changes, from doubt and anger to shyness, love, and even... longing.]
[Now that she has truly become younger, back to her 24-year-old self, it's okay to be a little more girlish, right? You also see through her thoughts. You pick her up, enter the mixed bath, and begin an even more absurd round with her.]
[It is not until late at night that you hold the completely rejuvenated Tsunade and fall into a deep sleep. With your Yin Seals, your combat power is abnormally fierce. This is very hard on Shizune, who has been standing guard outside the door for you. She is blushing so hard she almost faints several times.]
Seeing this, Makoto shakes his head. If Shizune is so tired, she should just go and rest. I can use a shadow clone to stand guard! But she probably didn't understand him yet. She would get used to it later.
He then looked at the simulation. Although his simulated self was having a great time, he knew that this was far from over. Because she still didn't know that he had a "big family" behind him. Would she just let it go when she found out?
However, he wasn't worried about what would happen next. At worst, he and she would just be in a stalemate for a while. After ten or twenty years had passed, and the only one left accompanying her was him and the girls around him, she would surely feel that his "harem" wasn't so annoying after all.
Besides, although he benefited greatly from having children, it wasn't just for him. It was for her too. She could totally just teach their child to be "devoted" and then pour all her passion into watching them grow up.
Just as he had predicted, the two, who had been as close as glue, began to fight.
[By the time you finally see Jiraiya again, it is already the afternoon of the third day. He teases Tsunade and congratulates her, while also expressing his admiration for you. The 'younger' Tsunade seems to be less unrestrained and blushes angrily at his teasing.]
[But then, when Jiraiya asks her how she plans to get along with your 'other confidantes,' she grabs your collar and drags you out of Tanzaku Town. A world-shaking battle erupts. You can't beat her in Chakra Enhanced Strength and can only use the Flying Thunder God Technique.]
[At this time, Tsunade finally understands that she wasn't the only one acting. You were too. Your illusory relationship was built on two 'plays.' A sense of disillusionment wells up in her.]
