Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 438 Gathering Two Tsunades

"Lady Tsunade, my leg..."

In a ward at Konoha Hospital, Tsunade gathered medical ninjutsu chakra in her right hand and placed it on her shinbone, which was bound with duct tape.

The one asking the question was the owner of the shinbone, a boy of only fourteen years old, but already a Chunin with decent strength, just a bit unlucky.

In the attack three days ago, the boy's shinbone was broken by a flying brick.

For a ninja, if their lower leg is broken, it basically means the end of their ninja career.

At this moment, the boy clearly did not want to give up his ninja career and hoped that the legendary Tsunade could heal his calf and restore it to its original state.

Snapped!

Before Tsunade could say anything, a young ninja in a green vest slapped the boy on the head and said angrily, "What are you thinking? Lady Tsunade is the most powerful medical ninja. How could she not heal your leg?"

"elder brother……"

"Shut up!"

"..."

The boy scratched his head, looking at his older brother speechlessly. He was just asking a question, did he have to react so strongly?

"It's been connected, and you'll be fine in a month."

Tsunade withdrew her hand, stood up, and prepared to leave, too lazy to say anything more to the two petty brothers.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama...wait, where's Tsunade-sama?"

The young man was bowing and thanking her when he suddenly realized that Lady Tsunade had disappeared.

"Impressive. As expected of the legendary Sannin, their Body Flicker Technique is amazing. I couldn't even tell when they left."

The older boy looked on with reverence, completely oblivious to the fact that... the door was closed and the window was half-open, not allowing anyone to leave.

The Body Flicker Technique is just a high-speed movement ninjutsu, not spatial teleportation. In a closed space like a room, the Body Flicker Technique cannot pass through walls.

And that was indeed the case; Tsunade was still in the room, but they could no longer see or touch her.

"what……"

In the mezzanine, Tsunade was startled when someone suddenly grabbed her tightly from behind.

"Who?"

As Tsunade turned her head to look, she grabbed the hands in front of her chest and tried to pull them away.

At this moment, Tsunade was completely unaware that she had disappeared from the real world, since the things in her sight and her senses were still the same as before.

But the hands that tightly hugged her chest from behind, making it hard for her to breathe, instantly made Tsunade realize that she had been attacked.

"Hmm... how could that be?"

Tsunade was shocked; her hands, which were in front of her chest, remained completely still despite his immense strength.

"Who are you?"

Tsunade turned around and saw the person behind her clearly: a young man around twenty years old, looking at her with a playful smile in his eyes.

She was certain she didn't know the man.

"Come with me."

After saying this, Li Yaoying's clone carried Tsunade away and flew directly through the ceiling into the sky.

This scene left Tsunade somewhat confused.

"This is... an illusion?"

Tsunade thought so, and it's no wonder she thought so. Not only did her body fly through the ceiling and into the sky as if it were an illusion, but her monstrous strength was completely useless against this strange man. What else could this be but an illusion?

In any case, Tsunade couldn't think of anyone in the ninja world who could remain unmoved by her monstrous strength.

The man she was holding was as hard as steel, and he didn't react no matter how much she struggled or even punched him.

She struggled in vain, as if she were being held tightly by a human-shaped mountain.

Tsunade believed that this feeling of powerlessness could only be achieved through genjutsu.

"It was an illusion after all!"

Soon, Tsunade, led by the man, flew up to an altitude of ten thousand meters. Then she saw a large, ink-wash bird carrying a more pregnant version of herself frantically performing the "Plucking the Radish Technique" on a man. Tsunade became even more certain that she had been afflicted by an illusion.

The enemy wanted to use this imagery to humiliate and enrage her, to keep her trapped in the illusion.

"Illusion - Release!"

"Hmm... Illusion - Dispel!"

"What happened?"

"Chakra..."

Tsunade, who was trying to use her chakra to break the genjutsu, suddenly discovered that she could no longer use her chakra.

"Snapped!"

At that moment, a snap of fingers echoed in Tsunade's ears, and she suddenly found herself firmly planted on the back of the ink-colored bird, and she could also mobilize her chakra.

"The illusion has been broken!"

Tsunade was overjoyed and immediately wanted to raise her hand to bite the slug and cast the summoning jutsu. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, it would be safe to summon the slug first.

"I...can't move!"

Tsunade was shocked again. Her hands were completely still. She had just lost control of her body below the neck for a moment, and only her head could still move.

"Illusion...no, this isn't an illusion!"

Tsunade was about to say that she was still under a genjutsu when she immediately shook her head in denial, saying that the current situation was definitely not a genjutsu.

I think my body has been controlled by a ninjutsu similar to Shadow Imitation Technique.

Tsunade reacted quickly, instantly grasping her current situation, and then... she fell into a deep state of confusion again.

"You...you...who are you?"

Tsunade stared wide-eyed in shock at Li Yao, who was bridging the gap between the two, and Tsunade herself, who had been resurrected using Edo Tensei, especially the resurrected Tsunade.

Tsunade suddenly realized what was happening.

If this isn't an illusion, then who is this "self" fluctuating within the strange man?

That familiar chakra!

The warmth and smell of sweat up close!

And there's a unique floral fragrance everywhere!

All of this was conveying a message to Tsunade's mind: the fluctuating "self" before her was a real person.

But... how is that possible?

"That was me... No, that can't be!"

"Who exactly are you?"

Tsunade, her mind somewhat confused, roared out.

But the two men, who were struggling, ignored her.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, who came to this world with Li Yao, never once looked at her past self during the time of the Three Legendary Sannin.

Unable to die, she used a self-hypnotic method to hide her former personality and willingly became Li Yao's servant, hoping to lessen the suffering of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

The current Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, no longer cares about anything outside and is wholeheartedly devoted to serving Li Yao.

It has to be said that when people are pushed to the limit, they can come up with all sorts of solutions.

Li Yao hadn't expected Tsunade to use such a trick to hypnotize herself, minimizing the pain she felt deep inside.

This is a method of liberation that is not liberation itself.

Li Yao remembered this well: when it came time to get revenge on that old guy, the Third Hokage, he couldn't let him hypnotize himself like Tsunade did.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Let me go..."

While Li Yao and the reanimated Tsunade were having a great time, the Sannin Tsunade of this world struggled in vain. After watching the animal documentary for three hours, she finally calmed down and resigned herself to her fate.

Wave!

After removing the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, Li Yao had a sudden thought and sent Kotoamatsukami to the Sannin Tsunade of this world. The struggling Sannin Tsunade immediately took over the role of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, who was watching from the side, twitched her eyes, then returned to calm.

"Who attacked Konoha?" Li Yao asked.

Tsunade, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, looked pained and her body was tense. Her first encounter with Li Yao had injured her instantly.
