Who Says Only Shisui Can Use Shunshin...

In the original story, Tsunade suffered greatly from psychological trauma due to the deaths of her brother, Nawaki, and her lover, Dan. She also developed a severe fear of blood.

But now, with Toki replacing Nawaki and Dan in her heart, Tsunade didn't collapse or develop hemophobia. However, due to her guilt and uncertainty about how to deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi, she chose to escape and live a life similar to the original story.

The only difference is that she often vents her anger by borrowing the name of Hiruzen Sarutobi, but that's about it. With Hiruzen Sarutobi's persuasion skills, Tsunade couldn't completely shake off the brainwashing of the Will of Fire. After all, it was a terrifying jutsu that could make Minato Namikaze ignore his son's psychological abuse. But Tsunade had no time to worry about the Will of Fire now. A woman in love could ignore all mental attacks. Right now, all she wanted was to find Toki and prevent him from following in her footsteps. She didn't even bother to change into proper clothes before rushing out. But there was no trace of Toki in the inn at this point.

"He met his ex-girlfriend from another place."

Toki muttered under his breath as he leaped through the forest,

"Luckily, I was drunk, otherwise I might have ended up like Jiraiya-sensei."

At first, when Tsunade found out, she was furious and chased after him, causing quite a stir in Konoha. So Toki was initially worried about the possibility of being beaten to death by Tsunade. But Toki always felt something was wrong. It was as if Tsunade was afraid others wouldn't know she had slept with him. Toki stopped in the middle of a tree, rubbing his chin and shaking his head.

"How is that possible? Tsunade wouldn't be so proactive."

Then he looked towards a thicket to the west and shouted loudly,

"Been squatting there for so long, aren't you tired? If you don't move, I'll start attacking."

"Attack!"

A low shout came, and countless kunai and shuriken flew out of the darkness, blocking all of Toki's escape routes. Toki's face, which had looked somewhat frivolous before, turned cold instantly. His hands quickly formed seals, and he disappeared into the ground.

Boom!

The exploding tags wrapped around the shuriken detonated. The Root members hiding in the dark changed their expressions drastically.

"So fast at forming seals!"

"Found you."

Toki's faint voice came from under the Root member's feet. The Root member's face turned pale, and as he looked down, he saw a pair of blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan staring at him fiercely. The next moment, he was pulled into the ground.

"Mind Beheading Jutsu!"

With a snap, the Root ninja's neck was snapped instantly by Toki.

"There!"

A white-robed captain shouted, and with a swift hand seal, a huge fireball shot out of his mouth towards Toki. At the same time, A teammate pressed his hands on the ground, and shouted, "Earth Style: Opening Earth Rising Excavation!" Toki, who was half-buried in the ground, was suddenly raised up and exposed in front of the fireball.

"Hey~"

Toki grabbed the body beneath him and threw it towards the incoming fireball. Taking advantage of the gap created by the body, Toki instantly moved out of the attack range.

"Is that it?"

Toki stood in an empty space, looking leisurely at the ninjas surrounding him. "From Kumogakure or Konoha?" Several Root members rushed towards Toki once again without saying a word. Toki shook his head and showed a regretful expression.

"Maybe I could have let you go."

But the next moment, Toki took a step forward, and countless identical afterimages appeared around him! The leading jonin's face changed.

"Illusion? Shadow Clone Technique? No! This is Body Flicker Technique?! You're Shisui Uchiha?!"

But before he could wait for Toki's answer, sharp kunai had already plunged into the necks of everyone present. With several thumps, including the jonin, all attackers fell to the ground convulsing. The jonin stared at Toki with resentment, wanting to say something but died with blood gushing from his mouth. Toki shook off the bloodstains on the kunai and muttered indifferently.

"Who said only Shisui can use the Body Flicker Technique?"

He squatted down to search for the identities of the attackers, but their bodies suddenly burst into green flames, burning them to ashes. Toki narrowed his eyes at the secret technique of destroying corpses.

"Is this the work of the ANBU? I just don't know if it's from Kumogakure's ANBU or Konoha's ANBU."

During missions, ANBU operatives wouldn't reveal their identities so easily. All ANBU missions were clandestine, and operatives erased all identification information during missions. It was impossible to obtain any intelligence from their bodies alone. Cases like Kakashi's, where his identity was widely known, were purely due to deliberate leaks of information, making it impossible for him to continue working in the ANBU.

At that time, the Uchiha clan had already been wiped out, and the ANBU had to accept the duties of the Konoha Military Police Force, making their power unprecedented.

Kakashi, who was forced into the ANBU by the Fourth Hokage, maintained his own bottom line and couldn't fully integrate into the darkness. This made it impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to hand over the ANBU to him for management. Thus, Kakashi was kicked out of the ANBU and became an ordinary guiding jonin.

Toki shook his head after searching for a while. At this point, it no longer mattered who the enemy was because with his current strength, it was very difficult to assassinate successfully. He waited for a while longer, confirming that no one would come to collect the corpses. Then, he leaped onto the treetops and disappeared into the distance. After another half a day, Several masked ninjas appeared at the battlefield. The leader surveyed the surroundings and finally found the signal left by their comrades in a concealed place. The group exchanged glances,nodding in silent agreement. They knew what they had to do next. Their mission was clear: to eliminate any traces of their presence and ensure that no information leaked back to their organization. With practiced efficiency, they began the grim task of disposing of the bodies, leaving no evidence behind.

Meanwhile, Toki, having evaded detection, continued his journey through the dense forest. His mind was consumed with thoughts of the recent encounter and the implications of the escalating conflict between the Hidden Leaf Village and the Hidden Cloud Village. As he moved swiftly among the trees, his senses heightened, alert to any potential threats lurking in the shadows. Despite the gravity of the situation, Toki remained calm and focused, his training as an elite ANBU operative guiding his actions. Hours passed, and Toki finally reached a secluded clearing where he could rest briefly and assess his next course of action. Sitting down against a tree, he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, trying to clear his mind of distractions.

However, even in this moment of respite, his thoughts kept returning to Tsunade, the former Hokage, and the turmoil that had engulfed the village in her absence. Toki couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her sudden departure than met the eye. But before he could dwell further on these thoughts, a rustling sound nearby snapped him back to attention. Instantly alert, Toki sprung to his feet, ready for whatever danger lurked in the shadows. To his surprise, emerging from the foliage was not an enemy ninja, but a lone figure—a young woman with fiery red hair and piercing eyes.

"Toki," she said, her voice firm yet tinged with concern. "We need to talk."
