"You mean, when you examined him, you were sure he was just an ordinary person?" Hiruzen Sarutobi keenly spotted the crucial point.
"I can be sure, but when he left, he did show a technique similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, and... when this pattern appeared on his forehead..." Tsunade's brows furrowed as she recalled Xin's appearance when he activated the Omniscient and Omnipotent Eye.
That feeling of nobility.
It was truly hard to describe.
"I understand, Tsunade."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe, lowering his head in silence, seemingly deep in thought.
Tsunade's feelings, the miraculous items before him, all the signs, all seemed to indicate the merchant's mystery.
From another world?
Whether this was credible or not, in the face of these miraculous items, it couldn't be underestimated.
After a moment.
"Tsunade." Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly smiled, his aged face showing a benevolent smile. "You won't be leaving this time, will you? The position of Head of the Medical Department has been kept for you. Oh, right, your illness..."
"...It's already cured." Tsunade was silent for a moment, then took out the Amulet from around her neck. "This is an item I got from the only Tier 2 Mystery Box I bought, the Amulet of Courage. As long as you wear this, you will have courage..."
"Oh?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's somewhat cloudy eyes stared at the shimmering silver necklace.
"It suits you very well."
The Amulet also had a meaning related to medicine in this world.
Tsunade took a deep breath, looked at her teacher, and said slowly, "He said that in the Tier 3 Mystery Box, there are treasures that Mystery Box revive people."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe puff by puff, and the Hokage's office quickly filled with smoke.
"Tsunade."
In the end, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who broke the silence. His voice was full of age, but also seemed to carry a certain power.
"I understand how you feel, but Nawaki and Dan Kato both sacrificed themselves to protect Konoha and the village. Even if they were truly resurrected, they wouldn't want your love for them to be used, or even... to harm the village."
The Third Hokage was undoubtedly an excellent politician.
He understood human nature.
He didn't directly persuade Tsunade, but instead used the wishes of Nawaki and Dan Kato, the two people Tsunade cared about most, to urge her to calm down.
Resurrection...
Even if such a forbidden method truly existed, it would surely come with a greater price.
Bang—!
