Naruto: Starting with Dual Rinnegan, Konan Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Tobirama Senju: The Perils of Chance



Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze rushed to the battlefield, arriving to a scene of utter devastation.

The ground was scarred with moon-blade slashes and bodies corroded by poison, while broken puppets lay around, causing nausea to any onlooker.

Tobirama shouted, "Sister, where are you?" fearing that Tsunade had perished.

Tsunade retorted, "Why are you yelling so loudly?" Tobirama replied, "I was worried you were dead, sister."

Irritated, Tsunade punched him, saying, "Wish me luck instead of worrying."

Seeing this, Tobirama stopped bothering Tsunade and approached Orochimaru and Gu Xingxi.

Concerned, he asked, "Sensei, are you alright?"

Orochimaru replied, "I'm fine. Let's clean up the battlefield and head back." Tobirama nodded and leapt away to begin his daily chance-taking ritual.

However, Gu Xingxi's unease grew, and before he could ponder why, a sudden explosion nearby snapped him back to reality.

Orochimaru exclaimed, "Oh no, Tobirama must have triggered one of

Hanzo's explosive seals!" Hanzo often left these as deadly gifts at the end of wars.

As Orochimaru ran towards Tobirama, he called out to Tsunade, "Tsunade, come quickly!"

Hearing this, Tsunade asked Gu Xingxi, "Why is he calling me?"

It then dawned on Gu Xingxi, "Isn't this the original plot where Tobirama dies in front of Orochimaru due to an explosive seal?"

Scooping Tsunade up in a bridal carry with his maneuver gear, Gu Xingxi rushed towards Tobirama, "He's hit an explosive seal."

Tsunade's initial embarrassment turned to worry and fear.

They soon found Tobirama, horribly disfigured by the blast, with Orochimaru standing by.

Tsunade leaped from Gu Xingxi's arms to help Tobirama, crying and treating his wounds, "Why weren't you more careful? What would I do if you died?"

Tobirama gasped, "Save your strength, sister, I'm done for. I'm so sorry." Tsunade shouted through her tears, "Shut up, I will save you!"

Gu Xingxi intervened, "Would you marry me, Tsunade? Say yes, and I'll save him."

Without considering Gu Xingxi's condition, Tsunade agreed immediately.

The system announced, "Congratulations on acquiring Tsunade as your wife. Since it wasn't her voluntary choice but a loophole exploited by the host, you're awarded 3000 points."

Ignoring the system, Gu Xingxi drew his Heavenly Fang sword, slashing at two spirits attempting to take Tobirama's soul.

With one strike, the spirits perished, and Tobirama's body began to heal, his face returning to normal, and even old injuries were repaired.

Orochimaru, astounded, said, "What is this?"

Seeing Tobirama alive, Tsunade hugged him and sobbed loudly.

Tobirama, also in disbelief, embraced Tsunade and sobbed, "Sister, I'll never take chances again."

As Tsunade's emotions stabilized, she recalled Gu Xingxi's earlier condition and asked with confusion, "You want to marry me? Are you betraying Shouko?"

Gu Xingxi sheathed his sword, "You agreed already, no backing out." Tsunade exploded, "You're dead!"

As she was about to lash out, Gu Xingxi quickly handed her a billion yen, which calmed her down instantly.

(Where did the money come from? Of course, from chance-taking.)

Once calm, Tsunade inquired about the sword, "What's with that blade that can resurrect the dead?"

Orochimaru added, "Yes, Gu Xingxi-kun, that strike seemed to kill

something, and you've only carried that sword without using it in battle. If I'm not wrong, it's purely for healing, isn't it?"

Gu Xingxi explained, "You guessed right, sensei. This sword, Heavenly Fang, trades extreme offensive power for extreme healing capabilities. It can restore limbs, cleanse toxins, and even reconstruct faces."

Orochimaru pondered, "Such a powerful weapon, where did it come from?"

Gu Xingxi replied, "It was a gift from the deity Bai Qian, who doesn't want me dead, as I am the only suitable practitioner of the Qingqiu celestial arts for years." Bai Qian, sleeping inside Gu Xingxi, was speechless at his deflection.

Tsunade, now aware of the sword's potential, reproached, "So you had this healing blade and didn't use it to help me and Shouko?"

Gu Xingxi responded, "Please, it drains my chakra completely with one use; it's for emergencies only."

Touched, Tobirama hugged Gu Xingxi's leg, weeping, "Gu Xingxi, I'm so moved; you're truly my brother."

Gu Xingxi pulled him off, "Next time, be more careful with chance-taking." Nodding, Tobirama promised to be more cautious.

Tsunade concluded, "Let's return to the village soon to discuss training more medical ninjas with the elder."

Orochimaru agreed, "Right, we three should head back to the village to persuade the elder. Let's return to camp for now."

As they walked back, Gu Xingxi pondered, "It's back to the main storyline. I suppose it's time to curry favor with the elder. How can I ensure I'm not there when he dies? That's a good question."
