Upon opening his eyes, Touki finds himself confronted by the most beautiful and terrifying scene of his life, still holding Tsunade's naked body, sleeping peacefully in his arms. The man does not remember well what happened, but he knows well that something very big happened between the woman and him.
The man's face turns extremely pale, as he realizes the consequences he faces if what happened earlier is true. Very carefully, Touki moves the woman, then steps back from her, appreciating the full splendor of the treatment. Tsunade, who appears to be no more than 25, is much thinner, though still retaining her enormous bust.
"My goodness, what a beauty," the man thinks, but he immediately notices the sweet scent that still permeates the room and realizes his mind isn't free from what appears to be a powerful aphrodisiac.
Touki dresses immediately, taking a little time to reassemble the armor that ended up scattered all over the room. Fortunately, the mechanism of the entire aura-generating plate system was programmed to operate for no more than four hours at a time, which ended up being a lifesaver; otherwise, it would be impossible to predict what would have happened to both of them.
The man stares at Tsunade for a moment longer, wondering how to deal with the impending problem. For a moment, he considers eliminating the woman to avoid the drama and unpredictability of the situation, but his conscience immediately makes him come to his senses, realizing that what happened was his fault, not hers.
Touki approaches the woman and covers her naked body with a blanket he takes out of his storage system. In the process, he realizes the source of the sweet smell in the room: her sweat. He moves away before anything strange happens and leaves the room through the only available door.
When he leaves, the man takes a deep breath, looks around and is grateful that no one is nearby. In case of a potential accident, the experimental room was built in a special bunker, in one of the organization's secret hideouts, deep within a forest in the land of tea.
Touki immediately activates a switch on the wall opposite the room and waits patiently for help to arrive, which comes in less than a minute with the appearance of Izumi in her characteristic identity of Shizuki.
"Did something happen?" the woman asks.
Touki stares at Izumi for a few moments, unsure how to explain the situation, but ultimately decides to simply be straightforward, "An unexpected incident occurred with the treatment. A side effect we haven't seen yet was caused by prolonged exposure. Both Tsunade and I ended up intoxicated…"
Izumi jumps in surprise and brings her hands to her mask, "Are you sure? What kind of effects? Am I going to get poisoned too?"
"Don't worry, it's not dangerous at all, and it's the result of exposure to large amounts for a long time," the man clarifies. "The problem is that in our case, it had an unexpected effect on Tsunade, who began to emit a powerful aphrodisiac from her body…"
Izumi doesn't seem to understand what the man is referring to at first, but after a moment she reacts, "Aphrodisiac? You mean that woman turned into some kind of animal in heat?"
"It sounds exaggerated, but let's just say it's true, although what I can remember is that neither she nor I realized it until it was too late," the man's voice carries great sorrow.
"Too late?" Izumi again doesn't understand what the man is referring to, until suddenly the realization seems to hit her, causing her pupils to dilate in surprise, "Are you telling me you slept with the old Tsunade Senju...?"
"Cough cough, she's not an old woman anymore. The treatment was a complete success, and she looks no more than 30 now," the man clarifies, a little uncomfortably.
"At least we can celebrate a victory in this whole mess. Where is she now?" Izumi's voice hints at sarcasm.
"Sleeping in the room."
"What do we do then? I don't think she'll wake up very happy. There are legends in the village about how wild this woman can be when she's angry. Perhaps we should eliminate her if the situation gets out of hand. What if we capture and tie her up beforehand?" Izumi suggests.
"I don't want to ruin all the progress we've made so far… Let me deal with this personally first. I want you to be on alert in case of disaster and lend me a helping hand… If it gets too much, we'll simply have to abandon this base. A rejuvenated Tsunade unleashing her full power might be too much, even for the two of us," Touki says in a serious tone.
Izumi nods and walks away, leaving the man alone and waiting in front of the door. Minutes pass, forcing Touki to sit on the floor, waiting for Tsunade to wake up and the real show to begin, which happens in less than half an hour.
"Pummm!"
The sound of something hitting the floor is heard, shaking the whole room, followed by a muffled scream from inside a room that's supposed to be soundproof.
Touki stands up and prepares for combat, activating several defensive options on his armor and keeping in mind the ability to activate the teleportation feature at any moment his life is in danger.
Silence falls over the room, and a few long minutes pass where nothing happens. Suddenly, the door to the room slowly opens, and a silent Tsunade appears. Her hair is loose, her clothes are wrinkled, her face is flushed, and her tear marks almost make Touki collapse on the floor in guilt.
The woman simply stands in the doorway, staring at the man, who is no more than a couple of feet away, her face devoid of emotion, despite the contrasting red eyes, apparently from crying. She simply stares at him, straight into his eyes, and he can't help but do the same, as if searching for an answer to something he doesn't dare ask.
"So you were waiting for me? Did I sleep a lot?" Tsunade asks, her voice soft but very serious.
"Are you okay?" the man says, still on guard.
"What do you mean? I feel spectacular, younger and more energetic than ever. The problem is, I had a vivid nightmare… something I'm trying to forget." The woman's tone doesn't change.
"I want you to know that what happened wasn't intentional, it was all…"
"What are you talking about? Nothing happened in that room," the woman interrupts, this time in a threatening tone, "And no one is going to talk about something that didn't happen."
Touki is surprised at the way the woman is dealing with everything, but has to insist, "Ok... I understand... nothing happened in that room... But I must say that it was not my intention that what did not happen, did not happen. We simply abused something that we did not have full knowledge of its possible consequences."
Tsunade simply stares at him for another long moment in silence, before saying in a more neutral tone, "I know very well... Clearly, we're both to blame for what didn't happen... Your lack of knowledge and my vanity, I should have... You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore."
The woman leaves the room and begins to fix her hair and clothes. Touki, for his part, helps her, handing her a large robe that covers her entire body.
"At least everything was a success," Tsunade comments, examining her hands in detail and observing her face through a handheld mirror. "I feel so good, light, agile, and with an energy I don't remember having for decades. This is almost magical in a way, but the next session must be more controlled."
The man is surprised. "Do you want to repeat the treatment?"
Tsunade puts on a somewhat offended face, "Of course I'm going to continue. I already paid for this, and I'm not going to waste it because of something that definitely didn't happen. But this time, I don't want you near me in that room. Now call Shizuki. I want to go back to my hotel room. I need a bath urgently."
Touki can't believe Tsunade's ability to deal with this kind of problem, although a part of him suspects the woman is simply trying to hide her true emotions. In the end, all he can do is accept the situation and move on with his life, leaving a memory in his head that will stay with him for the rest of his life.
