I Even Held You Before

"That... Tsunade, don't be impulsive!"

The wind howled, and the scenery on both sides seemed like fleeting shadows, blurred in the high-speed rush.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, stubbornly plunged in a certain direction, like arrows leaving the bow, never to return.

Jiraiya chased after her in silence for a long time. After a long period of hesitation and entanglement, he couldn't help but persuade her:

"That Uchiha Shin'yu is very strong. With just the two of us, we are no match for him at all. Rushing over like this is just like fools going to their deaths!"

"Shut up!" Tsunade turned her head, her voice containing a hint of anger and impatience, "Knowing it's so dangerous, why did you still follow me!"

Jiraiya shrank his neck, but his pace was fast, and there was no sign of slowing down, "We are companions, how can I bear to let you face a strong enemy alone? Besides, you still owe me a confession!"

"It's already this time, and you're still talking nonsense!" Tsunade snorted softly, her tone turning gentle, "I naturally know that I am no match, but I am not here for revenge. Don't forget, Nen was also taken away by him. I just want to confirm where exactly he was abducted to!"

"So that's how it is..." Jiraiya showed a thoughtful look, then became a little annoyed, muttering, "I don't know where Orochimaru that guy went. If he were here, our chances of survival would be much greater."

Last night, the massive attack launched by Uchiha Nen naturally woke Tsunade from her sleep. Sensing the danger, she immediately turned over and got out of bed, casually put on a coat, put on her ninja boots, and rushed out of the house in a hurry.

But when she arrived at the scene of the Hokage Building, it was just the scene of Sarutobi Hiruzen leading his subordinates to the entrance of Hidden Leaf Village, and Uchiha Nen had already been knocked away by the Adamantine Staff.

At this moment, Jiraiya didn't know where he came from and stopped Tsunade, who was rushing to the battlefield.

"Tsunade! What are you going to do?"

Tsunade said without looking back: "Of course, I'm going to stop the fight! We can't let the conflict escalate any further!"

Jiraiya grabbed her wrist and said anxiously: "Think carefully first, what will you do when you get there, help Master to kill Uchiha Nen? Or defect with him?"

Tsunade suddenly froze, her pretty face full of regret, "But, Nen's current situation is entirely my responsibility. If I hadn't gone to him that night, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Hey, if you have to stop this, then go find Orochimaru!" Jiraiya had a flash of inspiration, "What's the use of you going? Is your bond with Uchiha Nen very deep? Currently, the only one in this village who can talk to Nen normally is that guy!"

His words awakened the dreamer, and the two rushed to Orochimaru's house non-stop, but the result was obvious, they missed him.

Having no other choice, Jiraiya had to bite the bullet and accompany Tsunade out of the village, and that's how the current scene came about.

Shin'yu was quite high-profile along the way, using the Water Molecule Barrier as a pedal. With just a slight exertion, he could instantly dart out hundreds of meters away. The strong sonic boom set off bursts of air waves. Even if his feet didn't touch the ground, the strong wind he stirred up when moving could leave a bright trail on the ground.

Therefore, the two didn't need to spend any effort to deliberately track him, the route map was readily available.

About half an hour later, the darkness was slowly dispelled, and a glimmer of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon, dawn was approaching.

When they came to a dense forest, Tsunade suddenly stopped, her feet sliding far on the soft ground, leaving two long tracks on the soil covered with thick fallen leaves and moss.

Jiraiya also belatedly "braked" and began to vigilantly look around.

Huge trees stood tall, filled with a strong primeval forest atmosphere. The sky was covered by umbrella-like canopies, and only a few scattered rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

A gentle breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the air was filled with the moist smell of soil and a faint floral fragrance.

Suddenly, Tsunade and Jiraiya looked up at the same time. Their eyes passed through layers of branches and leaves, climbed up a somewhat old tree, swept across the trunk, passed through the lush canopy, and locked onto a graceful figure above the treetop.

He was wearing a black robe, his long hair was loosely draped behind his back, his smile was gentle, and his eyes were light. At this moment, he had one hand behind his back, and a light blue Guardian God Sword hung on his waist.

"You took so long to catch up, I've been waiting for half a day."

Shin'yu smiled and spoke, his toes tapping as he floated down like a falling leaf, standing in front of the two.

His figure was slender and tall, well-proportioned and upright, forcing the two to look up.

Jiraiya was stunned. The man's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, completely different from the aura of a god of death descending that night. It was as if he was a different person, which couldn't help but make him a little surprised.

If I don't anger him, maybe... I really can... survive? he thought blankly.

"Uchiha Shin'yu!" Tsunade immediately stepped forward and said angrily, "Where did you take Nen!"

Jiraiya's heart stopped. For a moment, he even wanted to cover Tsunade's mouth, fearing that the baleful star opposite would be unhappy and raise his hand to destroy them.

"Little girl, you're not very old, why are you talking so impetuously?" Shin'yu blinked. "I even held you when you were a kid, you know?"

"What!" Tsunade was a little stunned. Looking at the increasingly familiar look in his eyes, she finally remembered everything.

When she was just starting to remember things, her grandmother had told her that she had been kidnapped by this villain in front of the Five Kage at her hundred-day banquet, using this to threaten her grandfather to fight him, and eventually he died of exhaustion.

"You... you despicable methods, you still have the nerve to mention it? Who would attack a baby who is just a hundred days old!"

She was a little exasperated, and a pure Chakra overflowed from her body due to anger, blowing away large swaths of fallen leaves.

"You can't say that." Shin'yu spread his hands. "Although your two grandfathers did die at my hands, I didn't hurt you. I even took you to the casino to play."

Jiraiya stared, dumbfounded. What had he just heard?

The young man in front of him once took Tsunade as a baby to play at a casino?

This world seems a little crazy, doesn't it?

"Shut up!" Tsunade took another step forward, and the surrounding air currents surged. "You killed my relatives, and you're still here talking nonsense and chatting!"

"The grievances of the previous generation have been ended by my own hands. As for the reason, I'm too lazy to explain it to a little girl like you."

Shin'yu chuckled, "In my opinion, disaster doesn't befall descendants. If you want revenge, you are welcome at any time. Whether it's hard power, or schemes and assassinations, you can use any method you like to kill me!"
