Chapter 51 Konoha's First Deepest Affection
Shizune sensed that Uchiha Kazuhiko had changed a lot.
He exudes confidence and poise, speaks with humor and wit, and radiates the charm of a mature man. Moreover...
He's still so handsome.
He went from being the aloof Uchiha we remember to being a heartbreaker.
Shizune gazed quietly at Kazuhiko's face, listening to him speak eloquently about various interesting stories of Konoha Village. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and a smile occasionally appeared on her lips.
"Oh right, I almost forgot the important matter. I sent you here to treat Lady Tsunade. Do you have a treatment plan in mind?"
"Of course there are, but..."
Kazuhiko looked at Shizune with a wry smile and said helplessly:
"I plan to use illusion magic to let Lady Tsunade come into contact with blood first, to test the pathological reaction; then, through psychological counseling, I will alleviate her physical symptoms of facing painful memories, gradually improve these two aspects, and try to completely cure hemophobia."
"But you just saw Tsunade's reaction. Forget about treatment, we can't even have a normal conversation."
"The Hokage's mission deadline is one month, and judging from the current situation, the mission doesn't seem very promising."
Shizune thought of Tsunade's illness and her lingering resentment towards Nawaki and Kato Dan's deaths, and her expression turned serious as well.
"This task is indeed very difficult to accomplish. Even if I mention those unpleasant memories to Lady Tsunade, she will instantly fly into a rage."
"Do you have a way to persuade Lady Tsunade to accept treatment?"
Kazuhiko asked Shizune for advice.
She and Tsunade have wandered the ninja world for so many years, and she is the person who understands Tsunade's personality the most.
If even muting it doesn't work, it means the task cannot proceed according to the normal procedure, and we must decisively adopt Plan B.
Shizune looked at the sincerity in Kazuhiko's eyes and thought carefully:
"Lady Tsunade is a compulsive gambler. If you could help her pay off her gambling debts, you could borrow a large sum of money..."
Borrow money to help Tsunade pay off her gambling debts!
Putting aside the fact that I don't have much money, even if I did, I shouldn't be spending it like this, right?
Kazuhiko's brain instantly issued an alarm:
The other party is suspected of being a telecom fraudster; please be careful not to fall for their scam.
"Forget it, Lady Tsunade's gambling debts are impossible to pay off."
Shizune thought of Tsunade's accumulated gambling debts over the years, shook her head, and directly denied it.
Kazuhiko canceled an alert.
The girl is alright; she knows that people from Konoha don't lie to them.
"Lady Tsunade also loves to drink, is lazy, and is somewhat averse to trouble... There doesn't seem to be much that can be done about her hobbies."
Shizune listed them one by one, then suddenly realized that she had secretly gone through a list of Tsunade's shortcomings, and quickly explained:
"Kazuhiko, don't misunderstand. Lady Tsunade is actually a good woman."
Kazuhiko nodded, indicating that he had heard.
Although she had a bad temper, was addicted to gambling, drinking, and laziness, she was still a good woman.
"Lady Tsunade may be a bit arrogant and prone to throwing tantrums, but she's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She's actually a fragile woman with a tough exterior but a wounded heart."
Kazuhiko nodded again after hearing Shizune's words, indicating that he understood.
Tsunade is also arrogant, prone to tantrums, and stubborn.
Although her pride and arrogance have faded somewhat, it doesn't diminish the fact that she's a good woman.
I know it all.
You've already pointed out all of Tsunade's weaknesses.
"So, is there any way to get Lady Tsunade to accept treatment calmly?"
Shizune paused, seemingly lost in thought:
"Psychotherapy is absolutely impossible if it touches on Tsunade-sama's nightmares. The only way to calm her down is..."
Shizune became distressed, "Unless the dead are brought back to life and they can enlighten Lady Tsunade."
Impure World Reincarnation?
Good idea.
But I don't know the Great Dream Fulfillment Technique right now.
Your idea was very creative, but don't try it next time.
"But bringing the dead back to life is simply impossible! I'm sorry, Kazuhiko, I really can't think of any way."
Shizune looked at Kazuhiko with an apologetic expression:
"I'm sorry I can't help you or Lady Tsunade in any way. As expected, I'm still too useless. I had the opportunity to treat hemophobia, but I couldn't do anything..."
As she spoke, Jingyin fell into deep self-reproach.
Absolutely loyal, gentle and virtuous, and with a strong sense of tolerance.
What a wonderful personal secretary!
While sighing, Kazuhiko didn't stop. He took the initiative to sit down, held Shizune's hand, and gently comforted her.
"It's okay if you can't think of a solution. You've been following Lady Tsunade around for so many years, and you've always been tolerant of her and cleaned up her gambling debts. You've done a great job."
[Shizune's affection for you has increased significantly to: Friendly (Kazuke is so gentle. A handsome man like him probably doesn't lack girlfriends.)]

"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to cure Lady Tsunade's hemophobia."
Kazuhiko gave Shizune a bright smile, took her hand, placed it on his lap, and said sincerely:
"You've been away from the village with Lady Tsunade for so many years now, you must miss Konoha very much. So I will do everything in my power to cure Lady Tsunade's hemophobia and bring you all home."
Kurenai, Tsunade, Shizune, and Hinata in the future—Eri's small courtyard can't accommodate so many people.
It's time for me to have my own housing.
Thinking of this, Kazuhiko paused slightly, then feigned embarrassment:
"For so many years, I've been alone in the clan clinic, always hoping for you... that you and Lady Tsunade could return to Konoha, instead of..."
He left Shizune with enough room for imagination before changing his words:
"After all, there are still many people who hope that you can return to Konoha Village."
These words, however, took on a different meaning when they reached Jingyin's ears:
It turns out he had been waiting for me to return to Konoha.
He treated Lady Tsunade so he could go home?!
Jingyin froze, a blush rising to her ears, and instinctively withdrew her hand.
No one likes to wander around and live a life without a fixed abode.
Of course, she longed for a peaceful life without having to travel around or clean up messes.
Alone and far from home, she also longed for love, but whenever she thought of Tsunade, Shizune immediately and instinctively put her first, reason prevailing over her fantasies.
Lady Tsunade, how could you live without me!
She strengthened her resolve, her shy demeanor vanished, and she raised her head again to look at Kazuhiko.
"Treating Lady Tsunade's hemophobia is simply an impossible task. If we go against Lady Tsunade's will and attempt treatment, you will also be in danger. Therefore, if Lady Tsunade refuses again tomorrow, this task will end here."
Must it be buy one get one free?
Great, I love couples...flying together.
Kazuhiko forced a smile, but still couldn't hide his disappointment, and said softly:
"Actually, I had anticipated this situation, but... I won't give up."
"I swear, I will cure Lady Tsunade's hemophobia and bring you home!"
Never underestimate the determination of a player.
If you say you'll bring them home, you must find a way to bring them back to your home.
[Silent's affection for you has increased significantly: Trust (If he can really do this, I definitely can't let him down again!)]
