Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

Tsunade...you won?

A big question mark appeared in Nohara Rin's mind.

She looked at the boy who had completely fainted in Minato's arms, and then at her own hands that could only emit a faint green light. A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

Minato laid Sengen and Kakashi flat on the ground, and Rin immediately knelt down to check their injuries.

Kakashi's injuries looked frightening, but they were mostly cuts from swords and exhaustion from depleted chakra; his life was not in danger.

Ke Qianxuan...

Lin's fingers trembled slightly when they touched Qian Xuan's two limp arms.

The bones inside were shattered beyond recognition.

Not to mention the crisscrossing, deep wounds on his body that exposed bone, and the severe impact on his internal organs.

This injury was completely beyond her capabilities; she didn't even know how to begin treating it, let alone how to treat it.

"Minato-sensei..."

Lin's voice was trembling with tears as she looked up at the water gate.

Minato simply shook his head, his face so dark it could drip water.

He took out bandages from his ninja tool bag and quickly stopped several large bleeding points for Qianxuan. His movements were practiced, but his tightly furrowed brows did not relax at all.

Obito stood to the side, looking at the two people lying motionless on the ground, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

His mind was a mess.

It was the usually carefree Senior Qianxuan who single-handedly charged into the encirclement of over a hundred people, tearing a path through them.

It was Kakashi, who always had the rules on his lips, who shouted "This is an order!" when he hesitated, and then turned and charged towards the enemy, buying him time to blow up the bridge.

Finally, it was Kakashi again who blocked the fatal punch with his back when he and Sengen were caught up.

"Anyone who doesn't know how to cherish their comrades is utter trash..."

Obito looked at the two people on the ground, then at his own perfectly intact hands, and once again felt what it meant to be "useless".

……

The wind carried an increasingly strong smell of rust.

Tsunade stopped in her tracks.

She stood on a tall tree trunk, the wind blowing through her long golden hair.

That familiar, nauseating smell of blood was like countless invisible needles piercing her skin and drilling into her bone marrow.

Her body began to tremble slightly, uncontrollably.

My stomach churned violently, and my breathing became rapid.

No.

Tsunade gritted her teeth, pulled a clean white bandage from her ninja tool pouch, and stiffly covered her eyes with it, one bandage after another.

The world was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Sight is deprived, but the senses of smell and hearing become exceptionally acute.

The stench of blood seemed to grow stronger and more pungent, enveloping her completely.

Her hands trembled even more violently.

The smell of blood is so strong... how many people have died up ahead?

That brat...

Tsunade's mind was filled with the image of Sengen's face, which always carried a somewhat lazy smile.

"I will live on and on, because I still want to marry you."

"If you bet on me to win, you'll never lose."

Bastard...liar...

Tsunade clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, the sharp pain clearing her confused mind somewhat.

She forced herself to calm down and focused her chakra on her ears.

The sound of wind, the chirping of insects, the rustling of leaves...

and also……

Footsteps.

Five people.

The source of the five chakras.

One, huge, warm, like the sun.

It's a water gate.

Three, faint, weary, like candles flickering in the wind.

It's those three little devils.

There's another one...

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat.

The fifth chakra was extremely faint, almost imperceptible, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next second.

……

There are people ahead.

The water gate, which was at the very front, suddenly stopped.

He was still holding Qianxuan in his arms, but he remained highly vigilant.

Kakashi, Obito, and Rin immediately assumed a defensive stance.

A blonde woman was standing on a tree trunk not far away.

Her eyes were covered with a white bandage.

"Lady Tsunade?"

Minato was stunned; he hadn't expected to run into Tsunade here.

Upon hearing Minato's voice, Tsunade's body visibly stiffened.

She didn't move, she just stood there, her voice sounding somewhat hoarse from extreme restraint.

"What happened?"

Minato glanced at the dying Sengen in his arms, then at the unconscious Kakashi on his back, and for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

Kakashi was awakened by the jolt. He opened his eyes and saw Tsunade, who was blindfolded, struggling to slide off Minato's back.

"We were ambushed."

Kakashi's voice was weak, but his enunciation was clear.

"More than a hundred Iwagakure ninja, and four Jonin."

Tsunade's eyebrows, hidden under the white cloth, furrowed.

"Qian Xuan, he..."

Kakashi paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"He rushed forward alone, buying us time."

"We blew up the Kannabi Bridge. But we were surrounded."

"He...is very strong."

Kakashi looked at the motionless figure standing in the tree and continued speaking.

"He single-handedly killed more than ten times our number of enemies. In the end, to save me, he had both arms shattered by Iwagakure's Jonin, Kyoto."

Kakashi's narration was very flat, without adding any personal emotions; he was simply stating a fact.

But every word was like a hammer, striking Tsunade's heart hard.

Her body swayed.

That brat who said he wanted to live to a ripe old age...

That brat who bragged in front of her about conquering her...

That kid who made the bet with her, saying she would never lose...

One person charged towards more than a hundred enemies?

Both hands... were smashed?

Tsunade could no longer stand.

She jumped down from the tree, staggered a few steps, and barely managed to stand.

She raised her trembling hands and ripped off the bandage covering her eyes.

When she saw the person in Minato's arms, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Is that still Sakuya Sengen?

He was covered in blood, his green vest stained dark brown and sticking stickily to his body.

His arms hung down in a strange position, and his face was covered in bruises, making him unrecognizable.

Only those pale lips were still moving unconsciously, as if they were talking in their sleep.

He was like a broken rag doll, carelessly discarded here.

Tsunade stared at him, just staring blankly.

She thought of the rope tree, and she thought of the broken tree.

They died in the same way.

He lay there, covered in blood and cold, never to smile at her again, never to call her "sister" again, never again...

No.

No.

Tsunade's eyes immediately reddened.

She looked at the blood-covered man, the brat who had been spouting nonsense in her ear not long ago, and tears fell without warning.

One, two, they fell onto the fallen leaves at our feet, and then, they formed a line.

"Lady Tsunade..."

Lin called out softly, but didn't know what to say.

Tsunade seemed not to hear her, and walked step by step to Minato.

She reached out her still trembling hands, wanting to touch Qianxuan's face, but stopped in mid-air, not daring to bring them down.

"asshole……"

A curse, almost squeezed out through clenched teeth and choked with sobs, rang out in the silent forest.

The next second, a vast and pure green chakra, imbued with the aura of life, erupted from her body.

Those hands, which had been trembling violently just moments before, became incredibly steady the instant the chakra lit up.

Tsunade gently placed her hands on Sengen's chest.

"Didn't you say...?"

"You won't die...?"

"You absolutely must live!"
