Guan Liyuan looked at Tsunade curiously. Just now, he felt that Tsunade, who was sitting at the gambling table, seemed to have a faint "natural energy" all over her body in addition to the normal chakra reaction! It was so
"faint" that it was difficult to detect. Even the tailed beasts that could use natural energy to transform chakra did not feel the change in natural energy.
And it was not that this was "weak", but that the natural energy mobilized was very small. When Guan Liyuan felt it, the natural energy in a large area with Tsunade as the center was a little "strange"...
However, the amplitude of this change was very small, and it would not be noticed at all if you didn't pay attention. Guan Liyuan also observed for a long time, until Tsunade stood up and stopped gambling, and this change disappeared. Guan Liyuan was sure that the center of the natural energy change was Tsunade!
[I seem to have seen this kind of natural energy change somewhere...] Guan Liyuan suddenly remembered something.
Then Guan Liyuan took out the "Death Mask" from the storage space...
[Sure enough! 】
Although not exactly the same, this form of using oneself as the center to make the surrounding natural energy pulsate is very similar to the "Death Mask", and is different from the general "Sage Mode" using natural energy.
Whether it is the "Sage Mode" or the more advanced "Sage Body", they all absorb natural energy.
If "natural energy" is a bucket of water, Guan Liyuan usually drinks water in big gulps; Jiraiya and others need others (toads) to help him boil water before drinking, but boiled water is very hot and cannot be drunk too fast; and Chougo does not need to boil it and can drink it directly, but there is a problem with the structure of the esophagus, which makes it easy to choke...
But the "Death Mask" and the changes in natural energy that Guan Liyuan felt just now are different from these. They did not "drink water" directly, but were more like holding a pair of chopsticks and stirring in the water.
It's just that the "Death Mask" is more obvious, while Tsunade was extremely concealed just now!
【What did Tsunade do before? Cheating? But... If she cheated, the success rate is too low, right? It's better not to cheat! 】
Guan Liyuan was even more puzzled.
At this moment, Sakura's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Ah! Is this a time-space ninjutsu?"
"Huh? Oh! It's just a time-space ninjutsu for storing items..." Guan Liyuan just reacted. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he forgot that there were other people around him, and he took out the Death Mask directly from the storage space.
Fortunately, Sakura couldn't recognize it. This was the mask from the ruins of the shrine that was recently attacked in Konoha!
There were still many gamblers around staring at the "Death Mask" in his hand, probably imagining what would happen if this ability was used to steal cards or cheat?
Seeing that it had attracted the attention of others, Guan Liyuan, Sakura, and Shizune also walked out of the casino immediately.
"I'm really sorry, Teacher Tsunade doesn't usually do this..." Sakura said to Guan Liyuan a little embarrassedly on the way.
Indeed, even if someone exposed Tsunade's identity in the casino, she wouldn't walk away and leave the casino without even losing all her money. It's so strange!
"Sister Shizune, the teacher seems a little strange... I'll accompany Mr. Liyuan, you go see the teacher." Sakura said as she looked at Tsunade who was walking in front of her.
"Don't be so polite, you guys are done." Guan Liyuan said immediately.
Shizune shook her head at this time: "No, it's better now... The teacher must be thinking about the past." Shizune said and glanced at Guan Liyuan.
Guan Liyuan felt puzzled - seeing me reminds him of the past? Do I look that old?
[Do I look like Kato Dan? No way... The legendary protagonist treatment is finally here? ] Guan Liyuan was daydreaming.
It's not impossible! In the anime, Kato has long white hair, and Guan Liyuan seems to have two dots on his forehead after awakening his bloodline limit because of the corpse vein, and his hair gradually turned white...
[Tsunade and Kato Dan met at the Konoha meeting. Kato Dan agreed with Tsunade's proposal, and then the two began to like each other... But if Kato Dan wasn't handsome enough, Tsunade wouldn't fall in love at first sight just because of one agreement, right? ]
Just when Guan Liyuan began to regain confidence in his appearance, Shizune shattered Guan Liyuan's fantasy!
"Back then, a person who was very important to the teacher died on the battlefield between Konoha and the Hidden Mist Village... The one who did it was the Kaguya clan." Shizune said silently.
"..." Suddenly, an awkward atmosphere spread among the three people.
"Ah! Shouldn't I say this now? Sorry, I just want to explain that the teacher is not usually like this." Shizune explained quickly. "
It doesn't matter, I'm not familiar with the Kaguya clan..."
Guan Liyuan was also helpless - what about the promised treatment of the protagonist? What the hell is this?
The "person who is very important to the teacher" that Shizune mentioned should be Kato Dan!
Tsunade's younger brother Nawaki died in the early and middle period of World War II. Konoha, Sand Village and Iwagakure were on the battlefield of Rain Country. The leader at that time was still Orochimaru... Guan Liyuan heard him mention this matter, which is one of the reasons why Orochimaru thought Tsunade could not help him.
At the same time, Guan Liyuan also sorted out the cause of Kato Dan's death in his mind...Did he die in the battle between Konoha and Kirigakure?
It seems that Kirigakure also participated in the war in the middle and late period of World War II!
According to what Guan Liyuan knew before, the beginning of the Second Ninja World War was a battle between Konoha, the Fire Country, Sand Village, and Iwagakure, the Earth Country, in the territory of Rain Country.
Although the Rain Country is considered strong among small countries, and there was also Hanzo, the Salamander, who was known as the "demigod", as the leader of the Rain Country...but in front of the strength of the three major countries, it can only tremble!
It was the actions of the three great powers that made the Hidden Rain Village in chaos until now. Nagato's parents also died by mistake at that time from the Konoha ninja. It can be said that the three great powers catalyzed the Hidden Rain Village into the birthplace of "Akatsuki"...
In the end, the famous battle of the three ninjas of Konoha besieging Hanzo of the Salamander was the node. Konoha defeated the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Sand Village, suppressed the Hidden Rain Village, and even fought to the territory of the Kingdom of Wind in one breath.
But in this case, did the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village have no ideas at all during the Second World War and have been watching coldly?
Now it seems that this is not the case. Guan Liyuan estimates that after Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru jointly defeated Hanzo of the Salamander and won the title of "Three Ninjas of Konoha", the war did not end. When the war entered the middle and late stages, Konoha invaded the Kingdom of Wind, but the Hidden Mist Village also went to war with Konoha...
In the anime plot, when Kato Dan died, Tsunade was already called "Three Ninjas", and it should be for this reason, not because Kato Dan died during the Third World War!
Guan Liyuan suddenly remembered another thing.
In the original work, Orochimaru's body during the Chunin Exam had his hands sealed. Later, because he didn't have a suitable container and didn't want to change his body right away, he went to Tsunade for help...
It can be seen that in Orochimaru's mind, "asking for help from Tsunade" is more important than "changing to an unsuitable body". So why didn't Orochimaru think of asking Tsunade for help when Kaguya Kimimaro, who was "better than Sasuke" in Orochimaru's mind, was seriously ill? Kimimaro's illness didn't bleed...
Now it seems that it is precisely because of this crux that Orochimaru never thought of asking Tsunade to save Kimimaro!
