Chapter 130 - Chapter 129: This Pendant Is So White!

"Tsunade is an adult."Uzumaki Naruto spoke calmly, greeting Tsunade, who had suddenly appeared before him.Seeing Naruto's indifferent expression, Tsunade became intrigued.She narrowed her eyes playfully and teased him, "You little brat from the Uzumaki Clan... Tell me, what exactly do you think is so big about me?"As she spoke, Tsunade deliberately leaned forward, revealing the large, pure-white pendant hanging from her chest. The pendant glowed brilliantly in the moonlight, making it especially eye-catching.Naruto took a deep breath upon seeing it and muttered under his breath, "The evil Senju clan…""???"---Senju Tobirama: "You little brat, Naruto! Don't confuse things! The Uchiha clan is the evil one!"Uchiha Madara: "Hmph. And you think the Senju clan hasn't done anything shady? By the way, wasn't Danzo your beloved disciple?"Shimura Danzo: "..."Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Madara, Danzo may be ruthless and unpopular, but we cannot deny the contributions he's made to Konoha."Uchiha Madara: "So you admit you knew what Danzo was doing all along? And you chose to ignore it?"Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Ahem… Well, I didn't say that… I… uh… don't recall…"Uchiha Madara: "Tch. Hashirama, it's such a shame that the Konoha we built ended up in the hands of these hypocrites."Senju Hashirama: "Madara… So deep down, you still care about Konoha, don't you?"Uchiha Madara: "You're naive, Hashirama. I have no such sentimental attachments."Senju Hashirama: "Are you sure about that?"Uchiha Madara: "Of course!"Haruno Sakura: "Um… I just want to say… Maybe the 'evil' Naruto mentioned isn't what you guys think?"Uchiha Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama: "???"Uzumaki Mito: "Now do you all understand the injustice I've silently endured all these years?"---Back in the present, Naruto looked at Tsunade, who wore a playful and seductive expression. He chuckled inwardly."Trying to test me?""Interesting."Unlike Jiraiya, Naruto wasn't the type to be flustered by her charms. In fact, he had no intention of pampering Tsunade at all.In an instant, his eyes shifted—purple Rinnegan magatama swirled into view.Tsunade, who had just been teasing him a second ago, suddenly froze. Her body was stuck in place, her consciousness trapped in an illusion.---Hatake Kakashi: "What the hell… What is Naruto trying to do to Lady Tsunade?"Ebisu: "It's here… the infamous 'Time-Stopping Hypnosis' technique!"Jiraiya: "You traitor! Stop that right now, Naruto! @Uzumaki Naruto, you bastard!"Uzumaki Naruto: "???"Uzumaki Naruto: "What does what this Uzumaki Naruto did have to do with me?"Jiraiya: "I don't care! After this, you'd better transform into Tsunade and let me look at you! Otherwise, don't even think about learning new jutsu from me again!"Senju Tobirama: "So, the Rinnegan… It can even control someone like Tsunade with Senju blood so effortlessly? I was right to fear its potential back then."Uzumaki Nagato: "I never imagined that Naruto, after acquiring the Rinnegan so recently, would already surpass me in its mastery. His talent is frightening."Gekkou Hayate: "Nice! Now even Jiraiya-sama has competition for Lady Tsunade's affection. I won't be the only one laughed at in our group anymore!"Uzuki Yuugao: "..."Orochimaru: "Tsk tsk… Naruto, you're controlling Tsunade just to harvest her Senju cells, aren't you?"---The screen darkened. Naruto stepped closer to Tsunade, who remained motionless.He slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on her forehead.At that moment, she seemed frozen in time. Not a single muscle twitched."So that's how it is…"Using the Rinnegan's memory-reading ability, Naruto dove deep into Tsunade's past.---She had trained under Hiruzen Sarutobi alongside Jiraiya and Orochimaru.During the Second Great Ninja War, the trio earned the title "Konoha's Sannin" after being acknowledged by Hanzo of the Salamander.Her younger brother, Nawaki, had been killed on a mission due to an explosive tag.Her beloved, Kato Dan, died a gruesome death, gutted before her eyes.Though she had mastered medical ninjutsu, she was powerless to save him—and this trauma led to her developing hemophobia.After the war ended, the Sannin parted ways. Tsunade, heartbroken and disillusioned, left Konoha with her niece, Shizune.---Naruto absorbed all this information, and a slight smirk played on his lips."So that's the root of her fear of blood—Kato Dan's death."Kato Dan… That name sounds familiar. Haven't I heard it before? Isn't there someone else from the Kato family who's even more famous?Naruto placed his hand back on Tsunade's head, and this time, he subtly altered her memories.---In the revised memory:When Tsunade proposed having a medical ninja accompany combat teams on missions, Kato Dan opposed the idea fiercely.He argued that it was foolish and naive. Not every medic had Tsunade's near-invincible self-defense capabilities. Sending inexperienced medics to the front lines was practically a death sentence.This planted seeds of disagreement between them. When Kato Dan eventually died, Tsunade no longer felt responsible or guilty—his death no longer reinforced her trauma.Therefore, her hemophobia was never triggered, and she never left Konoha out of psychological collapse. Instead, she simply grew disillusioned with war, especially after Nawaki's tragic death.As a finishing touch, Naruto also altered Nawaki's appearance and personality in Tsunade's memories, making him resemble Naruto himself more and more.---This was the true terror of the Rinnegan.It could directly modify a person's memories—something that even the strongest will would struggle to resist.After all, who would question the truth of their own memories?---When Tsunade's eyes regained clarity, Naruto's Rinnegan vanished from sight.She stared at him in a daze."N-Nawaki…?"Her voice trembled.To her, Naruto looked exactly like her long-lost little brother. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and hugged him tightly.Her large white pendant pressed hard against his chest, almost suffocating Naruto.But… this feeling of pressure… was oddly comforting.---Jiraiya: "..."---End of Chapter 129.
