Chapter 69: Rope Tree's Death, Recovering Memory

"Rope Tree, happy 12th birthday!" x2

Tsunade took out the gift first, while Haruko Hayama looked at him with a smile.

"I'm not a kid anymore. I don't need birthday presents."

Sheng Shu turned his head away proudly, but still took the gift in his hand.

"What are you talking about? You're still just a child." Tsunade said with a smile, "Open the gift and take a look!"

Sheng Shu opened the gift and found it was a necklace. "Sister, could this be..."

"Tsunade, you are so cunning. You actually gave me this!" Haruko Hayama pretended to accuse.

"Hehe, the first Hokage, this is grandpa's Hokage jewelry." Tsunade leaned on the railing and introduced with a bit of pride.

"I love my sister the most!" Sheng Shu rushed up and hugged her.

Tsunade earnestly instructed: "Nawaki has always wanted this, right? You must cherish it."

Morning Haruko interjected: "Your sister Haruko also likes this necklace very much, so you must take good care of it with my love!"

Sheng Shu smiled and nodded vigorously, "Not only this jewelry, but this village is also grandpa's treasure. I will definitely protect it!"

"Well said, a man of his word!" Tsunade looked at her little brother with satisfaction.

Nawaki put on the necklace, "I want to be like grandpa, and inherit the name of Hokage one day, because Hokage is my dream!"

"I thought it was Tsunade's dream." Haruko recalled in the morning that when Tsunade was a child, she had worried about becoming Hokage.

Tsunade also recalled and smiled knowingly, "Nawaki is much more suitable than me. There are many and complicated things to do as a Hokage. I still like to play cats and dogs with Haruko every day."

"Hey, forget it, but don't ruin my image in front of Sheng Shu!"

Tsunade gave her a sly smile, "Where's your gift?"

In the morning, Haruko took out a slightly larger bag in response to Nawaki's expectant gaze. "There are not only gifts from me, but also gifts from your brother Jiraiya, Hiruko, and Orochimaru."

Sheng Shu didn't expect to receive so many gifts at once, and he couldn't help but laugh childishly.

"They are all busy with something, so they can only ask me to pass it on. If Nawaki is angry, let Tsunade beat them up!"

Sheng Shu shook his head. "I'm already very happy that they still remember my birthday!"

"Take off the forehead protector, Nawaki," Tsunade said.

Facing Nawaki's puzzled expression, Tsunade walked straight forward and untied his forehead protector.

"I'll cast a spell on you that will make your dreams come true!"

Tsunade kissed his forehead gently, Nawaki looked embarrassed, while Haruko Asahi and Tsunade both laughed.

……

It was still raining heavily outside. Tsunade was breathing heavily and forced herself to walk inside.

Jiraiya grabbed her shoulders and said, "It's better if you don't look at the body."

Orochimaru leaned against the wall, looking frustrated and pretending to be indifferent, saying: "What does it matter? Even if she saw it, she couldn't tell which one was her brother."

"Stop talking, Orochimaru!" Jiraiya yelled.

"Because it's a war now, all ninjas will become like this. After all, there are no doctors on the battlefield." Orochimaru took something out of his arms, "It's just that the child is really overexcited, especially the day after receiving the gift."

Orochimaru revealed what was in his hand, which was the necklace that Tsunade gave to Nawaki.

Orochimaru wanted to continue talking, but found that Haruko had arrived in the morning.

Her inky black hair was wet and stuck to her body, and her face was filled with fear that had not been able to calm down all the way.

In the morning, Haruko suddenly noticed the necklace in his hand. She walked a few steps closer and raised her hand towards him. Orochimaru then placed the necklace in her palm.

His fingers slowly tightened, tightly grasping this last relic.

Rope tree... Rope tree...

My family…Rope Tree!

In the morning, Haruko suddenly opened her eyes, and Orochimaru was surprised to find that her pupils had blossomed into white flowers with purple light, which continued to bloom and occupy her eyes.

"Haruko you..."

Seeing her walking inside without paying attention to anyone else, Orochimaru quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Calm down."

Haruko Asahi didn't look at him and silently broke free from his hand.

When we really got to the deep end, we realized how tragic it was inside. Not to mention corpses, it was good enough to have intact organs.

No, there is no way to revive the Rope Tree this way...

In the morning, Haruko shouted outside: "Come in and help me find the body of Shengshu!"

Tsunade was the first to rush in. Ignoring the tears streaming down her face, she grabbed Haruko Hayama's hands tightly with both hands.

"Haruko! Haruko, do you have a solution?!"

Haruko Asagi nodded to her seriously, "But I need a complete body, not even a vital organ can be lost."

After hearing her words, even though she knew how difficult it was to find all the parts in the blood field, Tsunade still couldn't help but curl her lips and feel relieved.

Fortunately, when the explosion occurred, Nawaki was relatively far away, and his limbs and organs were still intact. After Tsunade healed all the parts, Haruko used secret techniques to extract her own vitality and injected it into Nawaki's body in the morning.

After finishing, Hayama Haruko fell to the ground weakly, and was caught by Orochimaru, who had been paying attention to her condition. Hayama Haruko in his arms looked extremely pale, and she smiled and said thank you to him while trying to catch her breath.

"..."

Orochimaru simply picked her up and walked out.

Jiraiya frowned and shouted, "Where are you taking Haruko?"

Orochimaru did not look back and continued to move forward, leaving only the words "Tsunade is in your hands."

I don’t know if it’s because she had just awakened her eye technique and performed the secret technique of resurrection, but this time Haruko was bedridden for a month.

When she opened her eyes again, she was the only one in the ward. Haruko slowly straightened up.

"If I had known that I could remember it after awakening the Flower God's Phantom Eyes, why did I always think about playing before?"

When Haruko Hayama regained the Flower God's Phantom Eye, her memory was also completely restored.

But her mind was still a little confused. She had previously fought against Orochimaru in the Three Ninjas' War, and now she was 23 years old and the same age as Orochimaru.

The world is magical...

After checking that there was nothing serious with herself, Haruko Asako happily escaped from the ward.

Although the previous experience was also hers, it is still different after recovering her memory. For example, she now has the impulse of a twelve-year-old to taste the delicacies of this era.

And then...she was caught in the ramen restaurant.

Haruko's comment on this is: This ramen shop is not as delicious as Ichiraku Ramen...

"Haruko! Do you know how worried I am?!" Tsunade grabbed her shoulders and shook her, "If you want to be discharged from the hospital, at least tell me!"

Haruko swallowed the ramen in her mouth with difficulty, then held her wrist, "Tsunade... Tsunade, I want to vomit!"

"!!!" Tsunade quickly withdrew her hand and nervously checked if she was okay.

Seeing her expression of despair, Haruko found it a little funny, "Tsunade, you have never been so careful with me in your life."

Hearing her words, Tsunade pursed her lips, "Do you think it's a good thing?"

"Okay, okay, I'm fine now. I can even go fishing in the river with you!" Haruko Zao smiled and eased the atmosphere.

Tsunade also regained her composure. She said helplessly, "Nawaki keeps asking to see you every day. If I hadn't gone to the hospital first and found that you were not there, I don't know how upset he would be."

"If you feel sorry for me, ask him to give the necklace to me." Haruko Asagi suggested with a smile.

"Do you want it? I'll call him to give it to you later."

It was just a joke, but Tsunade really looked like she was going to "grab it right away," so Haruko quickly grabbed her.

"Just kidding! Just kidding!"

Hearing her words, Tsunade answered very seriously: "Haruko, you are our savior. No matter what your wish is, I will do my best to do it for you!"

In the morning, Haruko was slightly stunned, feeling both touched and sad.

"In that case, as a token of my gratitude for saving my life, you can give me the necklace. But you have to wait until you are fifty years old to give it to me!"

"Huh? Fifty? What weird things are you talking about."

"Because I want to know if Tsunade and I will still be good friends when I'm fifty!"

"...Okay, okay, I'll keep it for you first, and you can come and get it anytime."

"I love you the most Tsunade!"
