Naruto :Madam, You Don’t Want Anything To Happen To Sasuke, Right?

The battle ended swiftly and decisively.

Uchiha Haru's Susanoo and Wood Dragon gradually dissipated, leaving behind a silent battlefield.

This was the first time Haru had fully unleashed his Susanoo, revealing the overwhelming power that had turned the tide of the fight.

Kakuzu and Hidan were formidable opponents, especially with their unique abilities.

Even the combined efforts of Mei Terumi, the six Jinchūriki, and the Byakugan user Ao had been pushed to the brink and fallen into disadvantage.

Yet, before Haru's Susanoo, Hidan and Kakuzu seemed fragile, barely able to resist, shattered completely.

And this wasn't even the ultimate form of Haru's Susanoo.

To take down Kakuzu and Hidan, this stage was already more than enough.

Haru approached Mei Terumi and the others. "Are you alright?"

The battle with Hidan and Kakuzu had left Ao and Mei Terumi seriously wounded.

Mei Terumi looked at Haru, still visibly shaken from the recent fight. Her eyes held a complex mixture of shock and admiration, and even her voice carried an uncharacteristic softness.

"Just surface wounds. Nothing critical," she said.

"But Ao's condition looks worse."

Mei Terumi glanced at Ao, who leaned weakly against a tree, blood staining his clothes.

Earlier, Ao had been injured by Kakuzu's attacks, leaving him barely able to open his eyes, weak and in poor shape.

Seeing Haru and Mei Terumi approach, Ao drew a shaky breath and nodded faintly, signaling he could still hold on.

"Mr. Haru…"

At that moment, the leader of the Kaguya Clan arrived, frowning deeply.

"Uchiha Haru, I don't understand why Lady Tsunade has suddenly fallen into this state ever since she arrived here."

Everyone's attention shifted to Tsunade, who was slumped on the ground, her face pale, eyes empty, and body trembling.

Beside her, Shizune was attending to her carefully.

"What's going on here?" Mei Terumi asked, eyeing Tsunade and Shizune.

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but Mei Terumi's first impression of Tsunade was tinged with unease.

Despite Tsunade's striking presence and figure—one that could make anyone feel inferior—Mei Terumi, normally broad-minded, couldn't shake a sense of discomfort.

"Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha," Haru said calmly, stepping closer to Tsunade.

Like everyone seeing her for the first time, Mei Terumi was surprised by how youthful Tsunade appeared, clearly at odds with her age.

Haru stood beside Tsunade, with the Kaguya clan leader close behind.

Tsunade was crucial to Haru.

To a great extent, Haru's son's life had been saved only because Tsunade was there. Without her, hope would have been lost.

The Kaguya clan leader was one of those who least wanted to see Tsunade falter.

"Tsunade-sama! Tsunade-sama!" Shizune softly called, trying to rouse her.

But Tsunade appeared deaf and blind to the world, trembling violently, her eyes filled with nothing but fear.

"Miss Tsunade, what is happening?" the Kaguya leader asked again, voice tinged with worry.

He had already asked once before, but Shizune had ignored the question.

Now, confronted with it again, Shizune only looked up briefly and then averted her gaze.

This was Tsunade's secret.

She couldn't speak of it.

"Even with Uchiha Haru here, you refuse to say anything?"

The Kaguya leader's tone sharpened with impatience.

"I…" Shizune frowned, looking at Haru.

She could easily dismiss the clan leader's questions without remorse, but facing Haru, she found herself instinctively yielding.

She wasn't sure if she could have been so calm if it were anyone else asking.

"You still won't say anything?" the Kaguya leader growled.

"Don't push her," Haru interrupted, turning to Shizune.

"Even if you don't say, I already know."

"Tsunade suffers from hemophobia, doesn't she?"

Shizune froze, then blurted out in shock, "How… how do you know?" Her words faltered mid-sentence as she realized her mistake, clamping her mouth shut.

If it were only Haru making the claim, she could have denied it.

Now, she had unwittingly confirmed the secret: Tsunade-sama was indeed afflicted by hemophobia.

"What?!" The Kaguya clan leader's shock deepened. He repeated, "Lady Tsunade actually… suffers from hemophobia?"

"Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha and the greatest medical ninja in the world, actually suffers from hemophobia?"

Suddenly, everything made sense.

Why Tsunade, once normal, had deteriorated so rapidly after arriving here.

It was all because of her hemophobia!

Shizune lowered her head, silent and frowning.

Tsunade's fear of blood was a secret that could not be revealed to outsiders.

But now…

The Kaguya leader's face twisted with displeasure and concern.

At this moment, there was no time for surprise or anger.

Uchiha Haru's immediate concern was his son Kimimaro's illness. He had hoped that even if he couldn't guarantee Tsunade's recovery, just finding her would mean there was still hope.

But now…

Tsunade actually suffers from hemophobia.

How could a medical ninja with hemophobia treat others?

The hope that had sparked in his heart plummeted to the depths in an instant.

Such a massive psychological blow could truly shatter a person.

Though Mei Terumi and the Byakugan user Ao nearby didn't know the full details, they could tell something was terribly wrong.

"Don't lose heart," Haru said firmly. "It's just hemophobia… I have a way."

His voice was calm, but carried a quiet assurance that gave those around him newfound confidence.

"Mr. Uchiha…"

The leader of the Kaguya clan's expression shifted, a faint glimmer of hope appearing as he looked at Haru.

He knew of Haru's capabilities, and more importantly, he knew Haru's character—he would never make such a promise if he wasn't absolutely certain. Mei Terumi believed him too.

But she still wondered what method Haru could possibly use. After all, despite his immense power, Haru was not one to kill to heal.

Haru stepped before Tsunade.

From the ground, vines and branches slowly emerged, weaving themselves around Tsunade's form, gently supporting her so she wouldn't collapse.

"Don't worry. I will definitely cure Tsunade."

Haru's confidence was unwavering, even as Shizune's anxious gaze lingered on him.

Then, Haru's eyes suddenly reddened with a bloodshot intensity.

In the next instant, Tsunade was pulled into Haru's genjutsu.

It was a world bathed in blood.

The scent of iron hung thick in the air.

Everywhere, scarlet rivulets flowed eerily.

Tsunade's face, once vacant and terrified, grew even more restless.

She curled into a tight ball, burying her head against her chest, too afraid to look directly at what haunted her mind.

But this was Haru's illusion.

Closing her eyes wouldn't free her.

As soon as she shut them, a youthful face smiled brightly before her.

"Sister, when I grow up, I will definitely become Hokage!"

But in the next second, the smiling face was smeared with blood, vitality drained completely.

"No! No!"

Tsunade screamed, heart breaking at the sight of her brother's ruined face.

Thunder crashed overhead; rain began pouring down heavily.

The face of her brother Nawaki morphed into her lover Kato Dan.

Blood drenched him as he coughed violently.

Tsunade knelt beside him, desperately applying medical ninjutsu, trying to stop the bleeding, trying to heal him.

But no matter how much effort she put in, it was all in vain.

She was the best medical ninja alive, having saved countless lives on battlefields.

Yet, she had failed to save her lover.

The despair and grief washed over her once more.

Tsunade's screams echoed, her whole body trembling as grief consumed her.

This torment played over and over again in the illusion.

In reality,

Mei Terumi, the Kaguya clan leader, Shizune, and others couldn't see the genjutsu's contents, but they could clearly witness Tsunade's reaction.

Once Uchiha Haru's Mangekyō Sharingan activated, Tsunade's emotions surged wildly, verging on uncontrollable.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune could no longer hold back and tried to interrupt.

But Mei Terumi and the Kaguya leader stopped her firmly.

"Trust Uchiha Haru's ability, and trust Tsunade-sama's will. Everything will be fine."

Shizune hesitated, concern etched on her face, but eventually nodded.

Haru forced Tsunade to relive her nightmares repeatedly.

At first, her emotions spiraled, as if she were on the brink of madness.

This went on for a long time.

Gradually, however, with each repetition, Tsunade's agitation subsided.

The tragic deaths of her brother Nawaki and lover Kato Dan began to feel distant and irrelevant.

Her emotions became numbed.

She sat like a puppet—silent, motionless.

It seemed as if she had finally calmed.

But Haru knew better.

This calm was merely superficial.

Within, Tsunade's grief still roiled, trapped and unrelenting.

She wanted to cry but couldn't; wanted to scream but had no voice.

She sat, letting the cold rain soak her.

The biting chill was unbearable, yet she didn't care.

What did it matter if it grew colder?

Her heart was already dead…
