Tsunade looked at Bai Mu with a complex expression, her heart caught in endless turmoil. She really couldn't make a decision. According to Bai Mu, wouldn't she be fighting alongside him in the future?
If he were to lead Konoha into an abyss, could I stop him then?
Also, if what he said was true, and the Ōtsutsuki were the real threat to the Ninja World, what kind of threat would these extraterrestrial visitors pose to the Ninja World?
Sigh, why do these things fall on my head?
For Tsunade, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she realized it was entirely her own fault for being so foolish as to chatter with Bai Mu... Why did you talk to him?
This was self-inflicted.
Tsunade was conflicted and annoyed.
Bai Mu saw all of this, but he didn't rush her. Instead, he gave her ample time to think about how to make a decision.
I'm not in a hurry, really not. Take your time to think.
Tsunade sighed softly, her mature and full-figured face exuding an undeniable confidence, her deep eyes firm and composed.
There's nothing more to say; it's time to make a decision!
Since you dare to say such a thing, I'll see how you prove it.
If you truly can, what's wrong with me causing a stir with you?
If this already sick Ninja World can truly be changed, why shouldn't I try?
"You're so confident. If I don't go along with you, it would make me seem too timid. The outcome is simply whether it's true or false. Neither truth nor falsehood will harm me. Besides, isn't this just a gamble? Am I going to be afraid?"
Gamble!
Tsunade was very familiar with it.
Although she always lost when she gambled, that didn't mean she never won. This time, she felt she could win. Even if you presented evidence, it might not be a bad thing.
Because perhaps the ninja world could truly be saved.
For some reason, Tsunade now had such a feeling, believing that Baimu could truly change this sick ninja world.
Baimu chuckled softly and said, "That's good. Since you're so confident, I'll let you witness a true miracle. As I said just now, the power of bloodline is the root.
"However, the Otsutsuki bloodline has long been diluted, meaning it's impure. More importantly, Kaguya Otsutsuki swallowed the Divine Tree fruit, and her power also mutated. For example, the Sharingan should actually belong to the power of the Divine Tree, because the normal state of the Otsutsuki is the Byakugan. The Sharingan should originate from the power of the Divine Tree, a power Kaguya Otsutsuki obtained by eating the Divine Tree fruit. Although it was inherited by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, its root cause is Kaguya Otsutsuki. This cannot be changed."
"Wait, Divine Tree?"
Tsunade was a little confused.
Wasn't he supposed to prove something?
Why was he talking about some Divine Tree? The more he spoke, the more confused she became. Couldn't he be more straightforward?
Baimu ignored Tsunade's questions and confusion, and instead continued, "This is the origin, the power of the world's origin. If I extract a bit and bestow it upon you, you can obtain the fundamental power of your Senju clan, which is the power of the Sage Body and your grandfather's Wood Release…"
"To be honest, your grandfather Hashirama Senju's Wood Release is a bit exaggerated. I suspect it's one of the powers of the Divine Tree, but I can't be sure. However, I can give you such power, because it represents the source of the world's power. In other words, no matter how this world is, the origin is the basis for creating these powers. Without the origin, where would this world come from? This is a higher level of power. Just a little bit can give you high-level power."
Tsunade was from the Senju clan, but the power of the Sage Body wasn't particularly prominent in her. Or rather, the concept of the Sage Body was incredibly exaggerated in Hashirama Senju, but other Senju clan members weren't particularly outstanding; they could be said to be quite ordinary.
Tobirama Senju was a typical example, so Baimu directly upgraded Tsunade.
Tsunade looked at the golden glow in Baimu's palm.
To be honest, she could feel the immense power within it.
But there was also an aura that made her fearful.
Why did she feel fear?
"This…"
Tsunade opened her mouth, wanting to express her feelings, but the words got stuck in her throat. She didn't know whether to speak.
To say she felt scared?
Saying it out loud somehow felt embarrassing.
Baimu saw Tsunade's hesitation and understood.
However, what needed to be said still had to be said. He had to make Tsunade understand the gap between them.
"Are you scared? Are you afraid to accept? You should be able to sense the power contained within this. Then you should know that killing you is not difficult for me. You should understand that when I bring out this bit of original power, you should comprehend the gap between you and me. I possess power that no one else in this world does, so you don't need to feel scared, because you cannot threaten me. Even if you obtain this bit of origin, it's not enough to threaten me, understand?"
What arrogance!
Watching Baimu's grand pronouncements, Tsunade was genuinely annoyed.
"Alright, I'll see how you give me the power of Wood Release." Seeing this, Tsunade immediately reached out and touched the ball of light in Baimu's hand.
The moment her fingertip touched it, Tsunade's eyes widened, a hint of terror in her gaze, her red lips slightly parted: "Uchiha Baimu, I…"
Before she could utter an insult, Tsunade's eyes rolled back, an inexpressible expression on her face, and she directly fainted.
"Are you going to curse me?"
Baimu shrugged, saying indifferently, "Too bad, it's useless."
He could pretty much guess what Tsunade's last words meant, just an insult to his mother. But the problem was that Baimu was an orphan in his previous life.
His parents in this life died young, so his emotional connection… Honestly, it was just average. So Baimu didn't really care. Besides, after Tsunade cursed him like that, she would soon learn what it meant to beg for mercy on her knees.
The origin he bestowed was the origin of the Naruto world. It was not difficult to awaken the power of the Senju clan in Tsunade. Wood Release plus Sage Body would lead to rapid advancements.
To put it simply, it was the power of Hashirama Senju, but at a higher level than Hashirama Senju, because it was power bestowed by the origin, and the realm and level were completely different.
However, this would take a certain amount of time. How long exactly?
That depended on Tsunade's willpower.
If it was strong, half a day would suffice.
If it took longer, then it would take longer.
At least a day's time.
But this didn't mean there was any difference; the length of time didn't mean the effect would be problematic.
It was just a matter of willpower, which demonstrated mental strength, but this wouldn't affect the final outcome. In any case, there would be no flaws or anything like that.
As Baimu pondered these questions, his gaze naturally fell downwards.
Tsunade lay on the ground, her voluptuous body sprawled casually.
This was due to her hurried fall just now.
Naturally, her posture was a bit… well, overly casual!
