Shizune's heart jumped a bit, but she still didn't give up: "You're just a kid, you haven't been through anything, don't act like you know everything about other people's pain."
"Believe it or not, this necklace was used as collateral. I'm not giving it back. Go back and tell Tsunade, I won't die. We'll see if your so-called curse can kill me!"
"You little brat! You'll regret this!"
Shizune said harshly and walked straight out of the room. Before leaving, she looked deeply at Neji, then left angrily.
"Phew~"
"System, open my status screen."

"Boring." Neji fell onto the bed. Even the status screen couldn't make him interested.
"The deaths of Kato Dan and Nawaki had too much of an impact on Tsunade." Neji looked at the ceiling, muttering to himself, "No matter what, I have to bring Tsunade back."
At the same time, after Shizune and Neji parted on bad terms, she returned to the house angrily.
"Did that little guy really say that?" Tsunade put down her wine glass and looked smilingly at Shizune, who was constantly complaining.
"Yes!" Shizune said angrily.
"Tsunade-sama, you don't understand. That kid's attitude... someone who hasn't experienced anything, what right does he have to judge others?" Shizune said resentfully.
"Haha, Shizune, don't get angry at a kid." Tsunade waved her hand gently, but she gradually fell into thought.
"Someone who keeps moving forward despite pain... a kid that age... Grandpa, can the Will of Fire really be passed on?"
Without realizing it, Neji's image appeared in Tsunade's eyes, slowly becoming blurred.
The next day, Tsunade contacted Orochimaru and came to the plain outside Tanzaku Town.
"Tsunade, how have you been considering it?" Orochimaru spoke first.
"Orochimaru, I won't help you. This deal is off." Tsunade said without hesitation.
"Hmm?" Orochimaru frowned, asking in confusion, "Why? Don't you want to see them?"
"Of course I do. They are the two most important people in my life. How could I not want to see them?! But, someone told me that a Hokage is someone who needs to endure pain and walk ahead of others. It's ridiculous that I, one of the Sannin, only understand this now."
Tsunade's face was sad, but surprisingly firm: "Edo Tensei requires two living people as a medium. As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, I can't do that."
"Heh, I didn't expect Tsunade to be changed by someone. I'm really interested in knowing who changed you." Orochimaru licked his lips, saying with a sinister smile.
"However, you asked me to come here, not just to tell me this, right, Tsunade?"
"Yes, I'm going to kill you, in the name of the Fifth Hokage!"
Tsunade said coldly. She knew Orochimaru's personality very well. If he had a chance, he would definitely attack Konoha. So, she had to stop Orochimaru here today.
"Heh, you're no match for me. Teaming up with Jiraiya would be more like it." Orochimaru laughed loudly. He would kill anyone who showed hostility towards him without hesitation, even if they were former comrades.
This was Orochimaru, a cold-blooded snake, a great serpent who could even devour himself when necessary.
"Maybe that was true before, but now..." Tsunade jumped up from the ground and punched Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was full of forbidden techniques. That was what made him most dangerous, but now he couldn't form hand seals, so his threat was greatly reduced. Now was the best chance to eliminate Orochimaru.
"Heh, Tsunade, you're too naive. Even if I lose my hands, I can easily take care of you."
Orochimaru dodged Tsunade's monster strength punch. Then, Kabuto suddenly attacked from the side, with Chakra flowing around his hand, gradually turning into a blade shape.
Chakra Scalpel!
"Orochimaru, his strength isn't bad, but he still can't save you." Tsunade suddenly changed her move, ignoring Kabuto and quickly kicking towards Orochimaru.
Kabuto's strength was about the same as Kakashi's. Although strong, she was one of the Sannin, so her strength was far greater than his. Naturally, she didn't need to pay attention to him.
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Bang!
Orochimaru couldn't dodge and was kicked away by Tsunade. A deep pit instantly appeared on the ground, and the powerful force shook the ground three times.
At the same time, Kabuto's Chakra Scalpel also slashed fiercely, but he wasn't attacking Tsunade, but Orochimaru.
"What?!" Tsunade was shocked and let Kabuto attack Orochimaru: "Why?"
"Heh, Tsunade, I said, even if I can't form hand seals, it's still very easy to deal with you. I wasn't just saying that." Orochimaru sneered seeing Tsunade not stopping Kabuto.
"Hmm?" Tsunade was even more confused.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. Her pupils shrank, and she immediately ran towards Orochimaru to stop it, but it was too late.
Splat!
The sharp blade slashed across, instantly leaving a deep bloodstain on Orochimaru's arm. Blood splattered, spilling onto Tsunade who was coming in close.
"Aaaah... Blood, blood, it's blood! No, don't, don't come closer!"
Tsunade, who had been steadily in the lead, immediately knelt on the ground after seeing the blood stains on herself. She freaked out, as if she had lost her mind, constantly wiping the blood off her body.
"Tsunade, you wouldn't think I forgot about your fear of blood, would you?!" Orochimaru sneered, signaling Kabuto to take care of her.
Seeing Kabuto slowly approaching, Tsunade didn't notice at all. She just covered her head, constantly shaking.
"A medical ninja who's afraid of blood, it's ridiculous. Kabuto, kill her." Orochimaru said.
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama."
