Chapitre 49: Chapter 49: I Saw Nothing!
Araki's face showed no expression, but inside, he was already starting to smile.
He didn't need to say anything. Tsunade voluntarily cautioned him not to mention today's events.
What a joke...
There was no way he would mention it!
Araki hadn't even had a chance to hide, but he was already certain that Tsunade and Nawaki, this sibling pair, wouldn't spread the information.
And it turned out to be true!
At present, only three people knew about this, and if these three didn't speak of it, no one in the village would know.
By employing this strategy of retreat as a means of advancement, Araki handed over the initiative to Tsunade, allowing her to make judgments about these matters. It was even more convenient for him.
Especially at this moment, Tsunade attributed Araki's ability to speak normally again to the necklace of the First Hokage, perfectly resolving his concerns.
...
Nawaki stood to the side, silently observing Tsunade and Araki's conversation. His emotions were extremely complicated.
On the surface, they were discussing the First Hokage's necklace, but in reality, it was news of his own death.
The feeling was quite strange.
Knowing about one's own death.
Or rather, one's future death.
Nawaki's current experience was akin to an ordinary person suddenly receiving a terminal illness diagnosis, being told that they didn't have much time left, leaving them in a daze.
He couldn't find the words to ask any questions. His mind was in chaos, and all he could do was silently listen and closely follow what was happening here.
...
Tsunade's face darkened as she stared at Araki. She carried an indescribable heaviness in her heart because this matter involved her grandfather and her little brother. It was necessary to investigate it seriously.
"Araki, my mind is in disarray right now, and I can't maintain a clear train of thought. I'll say whatever comes to mind. You must strictly follow my instructions and not make any mistakes!"
Tsunade emphasized with great seriousness. She wasn't sure about the specifics of the situation, but she understood that such a bizarre event might involve the secrets of their Senju clan. The fewer people who knew, the better.
Ninjas in the ninja world had a unique sensitivity to secrets and understood that certain information must be protected at all costs, even at the risk of their lives.
Involving the First Hokage's necklace, this matter was of crucial importance to Tsunade, comparable to the Uchiha clan's stone monument, something that outsiders must not easily come to know.
"Yes."
Araki nodded in agreement. Now he could speak normally without stuttering, which also gave him a relatively reasonable opportunity.
With Tsunade, such a powerful medical ninja, covering for him.
Who would dare to question!
Any doubts about him would be doubts about Tsunade's medical ninjutsu!
"Let's start with the matter of you being able to speak normally. That's something obvious. If someone asks you, don't say it's related to the necklace. Just say that I cured you." Tsunade instructed first.
"Yes."
Araki nodded again, just as he had expected. Tsunade had indeed taken responsibility for this matter.
Although Tsunade's inner turmoil was intense, her thinking was still relatively clear. She understood that since Araki could speak normally now, there was no need to deliberately disguise him as he had been before.
It was the best approach!
Tsunade didn't believe that Araki, at his age, could make a perfect disguise. If he accidentally slipped up, it would only complicate matters further.
She herself was a medical ninja.
There was no need for healthy individuals to pretend to be sick.
This was the first thing that came to her mind. She had to come up with a reason for Araki's changes and keep the secret hidden among the three of them.
Of course.
This was also what Araki wanted the most.
As long as the three of them shared a common secret, they would form an unbreakable bond, becoming a community of shared destiny.
"Now let's try again..."
As Tsunade spoke, she took the necklace from Araki's neck and held it in her palm.
The chakra crystal of the First Hokage's necklace showed no change.
Tsunade then placed the First Hokage's necklace on Nawaki's hand and asked him to hold the chakra crystal.
Still no change.
Immediately after.
Tsunade stared intently at Araki.
Now she could be sure that the necklace was as quiet in their hands as it had been before, without any abnormalities.
"Araki, you hold it."
Tsunade gestured for Araki to reach out and handed him the First Hokage's necklace, placing it in his palm.
Buzz!
The moment the First Hokage's necklace fell into Araki's hand, the chakra crystal on it seemed to come to life, emitting a rhythmic green light accompanied by a pulsating tremor.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The chakra crystal seemed to have come alive.
At the same time.
Araki once again felt a refreshing power spreading through his body, cleansing his chakra pathways.
The sensation was extremely peculiar yet comfortable.
Araki instantly felt a sense of indulgence. He felt that if he could fully absorb the chakra crystal, his body would undergo a special transformation.
The feeling was incredibly intense.
However...
Just as Araki was enjoying the process.
Tsunade took the First Hokage's necklace back, and as soon as the chakra crystal left Araki's palm, it instantly dimmed and returned to its original state.
"As expected!"
After the first round of testing, Tsunade was already certain that the chakra crystal of the First Hokage's necklace only underwent changes in Araki's presence.
"Araki, what did you see just now?"
A strong sense of anticipation burst forth from Tsunade's beautiful eyes. The duration of their contact had been quite long, so perhaps they could see more images.
At the same time, she pondered in her heart.
Does this phenomenon mean that Araki is the most suitable person for the First Hokage's necklace?
If that's the case...
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give the necklace to Araki?
She was in a state of hesitation, as she had already given it to her beloved little brother and couldn't just ask for it back.
"Well..."
Araki had been staring at Tsunade the whole time, observing the changes in her expression. He probably guessed what she was thinking.
This necklace was indeed excellent!
But too conspicuous!
It simply wasn't suitable to wear it!
Moreover, most importantly, even if it were on Nawaki, it wouldn't prevent him from using it.
Once Tsunade and Nawaki, this sibling pair, accepted the notion that he could see the future, then the ownership of the necklace would be completely in his control.
"I didn't see anything!"
Araki shook his head directly, saying something that surprised both Tsunade and Nawaki. Both of them widened their eyes, showing a look of incomprehension.
"How is that possible?"
"Why didn't you see anything?"
"Could it be that Grandfather didn't want to say?"
Tsunade furrowed her brow and muttered to herself.
