Shizune: "But Lady Tsunade, wasn't this your own choice?"

"I asked you for your reason, but you didn't tell me."

"Why should we risk our lives invisibly, going around in circles in such a small place?"

Tsunade's face flushed red, and she chuckled, "I can't tell you."

Shizune sighed, resignedly picked up a towel, wet it with hot water, and wiped Tsunade's face.

In recent years, she and Tsunade have been living in hiding, constantly on the run. Shizune doesn't know why, and Tsunade refuses to tell her no matter what she asks.

It means she's not very curious, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hold out until now.

Of course, living in anonymity has its advantages.

Since those days began, Tsunade and her partner stopped going to big cities and instead wandered around small villages. The two used their transformation techniques to infiltrate small gambling dens and even village gambling operations, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

Another reason is to prevent the reputation of being a "fat sheep" from spreading throughout the village. Whenever Tsunade loses a certain amount, Shizune will step in to make up for the losses.

That way, it won't be too conspicuous.

And so, many years passed, and all was well.

"Lady Tsunade, I poured you some water and left it here. Drink it yourself if you're thirsty."

"I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too." After wiping Tsunade's face, Shizune tidied her up, poured her some water, and made sure Tsunade wasn't too drunk before going to another room to sleep.

Tsunade was left alone in the room.

Not long after, I heard quiet, even breathing and soft snoring coming from next door.

Tsunade, however, was wide awake.

She threw back the covers, pulled back the curtains, and looked out the window.

Under the cover of night, the snow outside the window was pristine white.

The Land of Frost.

Unlike Konoha, which has four distinct seasons, this place is cold year-round and is covered in ice and snow most of the time.

Therefore, the houses in the Land of Frost are not like those in Konoha, which are thin and have beds. Instead, they have thick walls with stoves and heated brick beds inside.

At that moment, Tsunade looked out the window; under the moonlight, the world was a pure white.

The night wind occasionally whipped up snowflakes, creating a whistling sound.

Feeling the warmth of the heated kang bed beneath me, I was momentarily distracted.

The wind and snow outside the window seemed to isolate the place from the outside world, creating two separate worlds.

In this world, there is no strife, no ninja villages, and no ninja world.

There was only a warm house, a cozy heated kang bed, and herself.

Tsunade suddenly felt a little hot.

It's piping hot.

It seemed to be coming from the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), but it also seemed not; she wasn't quite sure, but she suddenly felt a bit thirsty.

I picked up the water that Silent had prepared and gulped down two mouthfuls.

It's useless.

Thirst is not found in water.

Tsunade shrank deeper into the thick blanket.

The wind and snow outside, the silence next door—she was certain that at this moment, she was the only one awake in her little world.

Thus, certain thoughts, like magical seeds, fall to the ground, take root, and sprout.

Tsunade pulled the blanket closer to her body, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

Inside the room, the temperature began to rise slowly.

Perhaps it was because there were more people around, or perhaps it was because the kang (heated brick bed) had been heated too intensely when it was just turned off, but the temperature in the room was getting hotter and hotter.

She was so hot that she started panting heavily.

It was so hot that she could barely cover herself with the blanket.

It was so hot that she was sweating.

Time flows by, little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, Tsunade found the heat unbearable.

She needs something to cool her down.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

What the God Moon Nebula left her.

It had a texture like gold and jade, and a cool feel; it was in the bag she always carried with her.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then a second later, she began to search.

found it!

Holding the locator in her hand, Tsunade suddenly recalled the grand occasion from many years ago.

Her face turned even redder, and the heat in her heart became even more pronounced.

It's obvious that he's sick.

Taking a deep breath, Tsunade shook the troubling image out of her mind. No, it wasn't an image.

It shakes away the troubled thoughts from the mind.

In this icy world of the Frost Kingdom, no one knew her plight, no one knew what had happened, and no one knew her past.

She can hide here and do whatever she wants.

The wind and snow outside the window grew even fiercer.

In the warm room, Tsunade tried to cool herself down with the cool air.

She remembered that pressing acupoints with a luminous object could help reduce internal heat and dryness.

She tried it.

It seems to have some effect.

Or perhaps not.

It happened again, then it was gone again. It happened again... This cycle went on for who knows how long, and Tsunade's anxiety grew stronger and stronger.

not enough!

not enough!

The locator's components are insufficient! And... in short, they're all insufficient!

But she had no better option.

She was burning with anger, but she had no better solution. She couldn't just rush out into the snow, could she?

She could only press the acupoints hard, recalling the past, her movements becoming increasingly hurried.

It seems to be working!

After all, she is Tsunade, the undisputed number one medical ninja in the ninja world, whose understanding of the human body's mechanisms far surpasses that of ordinary people.

The method of pressing acupoints is also skillful and effective.

With her precise and efficient self-regulation, she could feel that the anger in her heart was becoming more and more concentrated, and it was on the verge of improvement.

She knew it would be soon.

immediately.

Once you vent your anger, your symptoms will improve.

She strained even harder.

To avoid waking up the neighbors, she even bit the corner of the blanket to silence herself.

In her hazy state, she seemed to feel that her breathing drowned out the wind and snow outside.

The sound of my heartbeat drowned out my breathing.

Just when she could see the light at the end of the tunnel, her vision seemed to blur for a moment.

The abnormality in her physical condition made her think she was hallucinating.

She blinked, her movements still.

The people in front of her and the messages she sensed told her that this was not a fantasy.

"Got you." She heard the last thing she should have heard.

Tsunade: "!!!!!!!!!~"

She had a cramp.

Chapter 525 Shizune, completely bewildered

When someone is startled, they usually say, "That scared me to death!"

But once the fright reaches a certain level, it's no longer 'scared to death,' but rather 'scared to death.'

Shingetsu Seiun looked at Tsunade, who was sitting alone on the kang (heated brick bed), with surprise in his eyes.

There is also the smug satisfaction of "finally caught you".

His expression was so terrifying that Tsunade's eyes rolled back in fright.

“You…you…you’re a persistent ghost~~” Tsunade exclaimed.

"Crash!" The things on the kang (a heated brick bed) scattered all over the floor.

Shenyue Xingyun: "There's no need for such a strong reaction."

"I'm not a monster."
