Chapter 539

Kitazawa gently kneaded her thigh.

"Itachi go ahead."

Kurenai Yuhi thought for a moment and refused, "I am not a psychological medical ninja, and such a confidential matter is not something I should know."

"With Tsunade-sama's personality, she won't mind."

Kitazawa raised his head, looked at her, and smiled, "Besides, once she's cured, it won't matter."

"I'll just practice ninjutsu at home."

Kurenai Yuhi still didn't want to cause trouble for Kitazawa.

Moreover, the trip to the capital of the Land of Fire, although the Darkness Technique and Rasengan were very useful, she still felt her strength was insufficient.

Especially when the enemy reached Jonin level, she couldn't help at all.

She really wanted to improve her strength as soon as possible.

"It's New Year in two days; I have to go out for some shopping later."

Kurenai Yuhi paused and added.

Kitazawa was slightly startled.

Is it New Year so soon?

He had been busy with the mission in the capital of the Land of Fire all week, so he had forgotten about this.

"That's fine, sorry to trouble Itachi, Kurenai."

Kitazawa heard footsteps and turned to see Yakumo Kurama.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Yakumo Kurama immediately greeted him.

"Follow me."

After Kurenai Yuhi closed the door, Kitazawa turned and walked out.

Yakumo Kurama followed behind him, her heart full of curiosity.

She really wanted to know who her first patient was.

Especially since Kitazawa had been acting so mysterious yesterday.

Just then, her eyes widened, because Kitazawa was walking toward the house next door.

If she remembered correctly, Tsunade and Shizune lived next door.

What is going on?

But no matter how boldly she guessed, she didn't dare to think that her first patient was Tsunade.

Kitazawa raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Itachi're here? Come in."

A moment later, the door opened, and Shizune appeared before them.

Because it had already been mentioned, she didn't feel surprised by their arrival.

Kitazawa walked into the living room and saw Tsunade lying on the sofa like a salted fish.

She was lying on her side, and under the influence of gravity, her neckline was wide open, revealing tender skin and vague contours.

"Tsunade-sama."

Kitazawa coughed lightly and struggled to shift his gaze.

There was no help for it; this mature and plump body possessed a fatal attraction.

"Why didn't Itachi come yesterday?"

Tsunade sat up, yawned, and asked.

"Kurenai and I were on a mission; we just returned to the village yesterday afternoon, so we didn't want to disturb Itachi."

Kitazawa explained.

"Shizune, Itachi all leave first."

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

"Hmm."

Shizune pulled Rina Uzumaki back to the room.

As for Karin, she was at the Ninja Academy doing water-walking training.

"Yakumo, your first patient is Tsunade-sama."

Kitazawa patted Yakumo Kurama's head and said, "Start the consultation now."

"Eh?"

Yakumo Kurama was stunned on the spot.

Usually, it was Tsunade treating her; now that she was suddenly asked to treat Tsunade, she only felt dizzy, and the pressure was immense.

And how could Tsunade have a psychological illness?

She was one of the Legendary Sannin of the Hidden Leaf, the most excellent medical ninja in the ninja world.

"Itachi don't need to be nervous."

Tsunade glanced at her and said very calmly, "Just follow the steps we taught Itachi."

"Ye... Yes, Tsunade-sama."

Yakumo Kurama took a deep breath and sat opposite Tsunade.

"Kitazawa, Itachi sit next to me."

Tsunade suddenly shouted.

Kitazawa was stunned for a moment; although he was a bit puzzled, he still complied.

After he sat down, Tsunade turned her head and leaned slightly toward his ear.

Kitazawa's body stiffened slightly.

He felt the breath coming from his ear and the soft pressure on his shoulder.

"If I lose my composure, don't let Yakumo see."

Tsunade whispered.

"I understand."

Kitazawa replied immediately.

Although he hadn't seen what Tsunade looked like after her hemophobia flared up, he had seen it in the anime.

In short, it would severely damage her image.

He could understand why she didn't want Yakumo Kurama to see it.

Tsunade sat back in her original position after speaking.

She suddenly realized a problem.

Why didn't she mind being seen by Kitazawa in her lost-composure state?

Was it because he had already seen her drunken state several times?

Or was it because he had blocked in front of her during the conflict with the Root so she wouldn't see blood?

Tsunade realized that she had unknowingly come to trust Kitazawa extremely deeply.

"Tsunade-sama."

Yakumo Kurama used the talk therapy technique, making her voice sound extremely intimate.

"Hmm."

Tsunade could have dispelled the talk therapy technique, but she didn't.

"What did Itachi have for breakfast? Was it grilled fish? I had ramen today."

Yakumo Kurama talked about many unrelated topics as if chatting.

Because of the talk therapy technique, Tsunade also relaxed, chatting and laughing with her for half an hour.

"How has your sleep been lately?"

Yakumo Kurama asked nonchalantly, "Have Itachi been having nightmares?"

"Not long ago, I had a nightmare."

Tsunade was silent for two seconds and said, "I dreamed of Nawaki."

"Nawaki?"

Although Yakumo Kurama didn't know who Nawaki was, she could be certain that Nawaki was definitely a key figure.

Since Kitazawa asked her to treat Tsunade, it meant Tsunade suffered from a psychological illness.

There were many factors that could cause psychological illness.

Among them, close people were one of the common factors.

"Hmm."

Tsunade nodded and said, "He was my younger brother."

Younger brother?

But Yakumo Kurama had never heard of him.

That left only one explanation: Nawaki had died a long time ago.

"I never knew Tsunade-sama had a younger brother."

Yakumo Kurama asked in a soft voice, "Could Tsunade-sama tell me his story?"

"I can."

A look of recollection appeared on Tsunade's face.

At the same time, she raised her legs, her jade feet stepping on the sofa, and her hands hugging her thighs.

Yakumo Kurama's gaze narrowed.

This was a defensive posture.

Just as she was considering whether to use the Truth-Seeking Technique, Tsunade began to talk about Nawaki.

From childhood, to graduating from the Ninja Academy, becoming Orochimaru's student, and finally dying on the battlefield.

Yakumo Kurama felt a bit hesitant after listening.

Because Tsunade didn't say what psychological illness she actually had.

The death of a younger brother would indeed cause a huge blow.

But everyone's reaction to such a blow was not exactly the same.

Did she have to use Demonic Illusion: Heart-Inside Technique?

"It's hemophobia."

Kitazawa glanced at Tsunade and said slowly.

A psychological illness of fearing blood?

Yakumo Kurama felt stunned.

But she could also understand why Tsunade would suffer from hemophobia.

As the most excellent medical ninja in the ninja world, yet unable to save her own younger brother—how desperate that must have been.

"What are the specific symptoms?"

Yakumo Kurama paused for a few seconds and returned to the topic.

She was a psychological medical ninja; without seeing the specific manifestations, she couldn't provide targeted treatment.
