Naruto, all the ninja women love me, and Konoha depends on me.

Chapter 015: Scopolamine and Physostigmine

"The antidote is an extract from the seeds of the Physostigmine plant, which can counteract the poisoning effects caused by plants like Datura from the Solanaceae family, and has a 'waking' effect."

Senju Tobirama continued to tell the truth.

As for the specific biochemical reactions, Senju Tobirama couldn't remember clearly.

It was already quite difficult for Senju Tobirama to remember that his sister had said Datura contains 'scopolamine' and that 'physostigmine' could counteract the poisoning.

He recalled asking his sister about this at least four times.

And Senju Tobirama knew that his sister wouldn't use just one type of poison; various toxins mixed together, and he was completely baffled.

If he mixed the drugs himself, incorrect proportions would render them unusable.

So, for now, Senju Tobirama could only trade poisons and antidotes with his sister.

Getting the answer, Senju Tobirama looked strange and muttered, "How did Tsukiyo learn all this?"

"I don't know..." Senju Tobirama said this, but in his heart, he responded: Perhaps because she was once a deity...

Senju Tobirama didn't ask further.

But this experience opened a strange door for Senju Tobirama.

During the time Senju Tobirama was treating his second brother,

the Senju clan's returning team arrived back at the clan grounds ahead of Tsukiyo.

With many dead, the clansmen were unwilling to accept this outcome and were everywhere looking for "Princess" Tsukiyo.

In fact, many adults knew that many of the injured had died on the way back, and some clansmen had only parts of their bodies recovered before returning.

Undoubtedly, Tsukiyo's healing techniques were not omnipotent; an eighty percent cure rate meant at least ten percent were beyond saving.

Those already dead could not be brought back to life even with Princess Tsukiyo's treatment.

As the clan leader and Tsukiyo's father, Senju Butsuma was extremely furious.

Senju Butsuma, in a gloomy mood, organized the clansmen to hold simple funeral rites for the deceased.

Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama, who could barely move, explained what had happened to his father Butsuma and volunteered to wait at the clan entrance for Tsukiyo's return.

Senju Tobirama, pulling his bewildered younger brother Senju Itama, stood by their silent father's side.

The three had nothing to say.

The surrounding forest was filled with the tragic chirping of cicadas.

The pungent smell of rotting flesh filled the air.

Younger brother Itama seemed somewhat scared and unconsciously moved closer to Tobirama.

This silent interaction was noticed by their father, Senju Butsuma.

Senju Butsuma frowned, suddenly realizing he hadn't paid attention to his two younger sons for a long time.

Senju Butsuma glanced at the calm Senju Tobirama, "Tobirama, do you think your sister is willful?"

The sudden question made Senju Tobirama instinctively tell the truth, "Sister is in pain..." Isn't it normal to be willful?

After saying this, Senju Tobirama realized something and immediately stopped talking.

But Senju Butsuma didn't let him off, "In pain?"

Senju Tobirama knew that once this topic was opened, without a reasonable reason to end it, it wouldn't be easily dismissed.

Senju Tobirama, imitating Tsukiyo's usual demeanor, calmly told the "truth".

"Yes, sister often hides in secluded corners to cry." (In fact, sister often hides in secluded corners calling for "Brother Zetsu".)

"I see her sad, so I often pick some beautiful wildflowers and fruits for her, hoping to cheer her up." (I gave her poisonous wildflowers and herbs, and she turned them into poison as a gift back to me, along with an antidote, praising "Third Brother, you're so smart".)

...

Senju Tobirama wasn't exactly lying.

But this superficial "truth" wouldn't lead Senju Butsuma to imagine the real "truth".

Perhaps if second brother Senju Tobirama were here, he would notice something amiss, as besides Senju Tobirama, he was the brother who knew Tsukiyo best.

Hearing Senju Tobirama's "explanation", Senju Butsuma fell silent.

Clearly, Senju Tobirama's answer was unexpected for Senju Butsuma.

Eldest son Senju Hashirama thought Tsukiyo had mental issues.

Second son Senju Tobirama thought Tsukiyo was both good and bad.

Youngest son Itama was timid and afraid of Tsukiyo.

Only third son Tobirama offered a different perspective from his brothers.

Senju Butsuma silently watched other clansmen shoveling soil to bury the coffins in the distance, lost in thought.

Not long after, Senju Tobirama brought eldest brother Hashirama and younger sister Tsukiyo into the trio's view.

Senju Tobirama, having just spoken with his father Butsuma, felt an ominous premonition spreading in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as Tsukiyo returned, she got into a heated argument with their father.

Father indeed blamed her for not valuing the clansmen.

And she blamed her father for not treating her as a normal person, revealing the side effects of her healing.

Father and daughter were at a stalemate.

And Tsukiyo's overwhelmingly strong abilities were also revealed.

What was expected to be a one-sided beating by father Butsuma turned into an evenly matched fight between father and daughter.

In Senju Tobirama's eyes, Tsukiyo likely held back against their father.

In the end, the four brothers stood between them, preventing further conflict.

Eldest brother Hashirama habitually protected the weak;

Second brother Tobirama was biased towards his sister;

And Tobirama, knowing the truth, also shielded his sister;

Finally, the bewildered Itama, seeing his brothers protecting their sister, also stood up to shield her.

Seeing this scene.

Perhaps also because of Senju Tobirama's earlier words had an effect, Senju Butsuma let the brothers take their sister aside to cool down, then left alone.

The five siblings gathered around a tree stump to discuss "peace".

Senju Tobirama listened in silence, offering no comments.

Second brother Tobirama said that a generation needed to endure pain, shake hands with the enemy, unite, and together resist the nobles who played with them using money.

Younger brother Itama thought how could they shake hands with the enemy; wouldn't the dead clansmen have died in vain?

Eldest brother Hashirama looked melancholic, seemingly torn; naturally, with his personality, he wished for world peace, hoping everyone would stop fighting, but also felt such a dream was impossible.

And younger sister Tsukiyo said they should become stronger than everyone else, lead the clan to surrender to the enemy, then live off the enemy's land, eat their food, drink their water, use their resources, and live in their homes.

If the enemy didn't agree, they would fight until they did, and after living like robbers in the enemy's land for ten or twenty years, everyone would become one of them...

The other three brothers thought their sister was joking.

Only Senju Tobirama knew she was serious.

After this incident.

Sister Tsukiyo was once again placed under house arrest by their father.

Second brother Tobirama continued to shoulder the responsibility of monitoring his sister.

And eldest brother Hashirama, still melancholic, went out again to "clear his mind".
