"Teacher, they say the best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Why don't you take so ti every day to face your fear? Maybe your hemophobia will be cured."
Aoba thought this thod was very feasible.
But Tsunade didn't think so. She had already stretched out her hands and was pulling at Aoba's face, tugging it around.
"Teacher... what are you doing?", Aoba's face was getting sore from the tugging.
"Hehe!", Tsunade sneered coldly, "You call this treatnt? You clearly just want to torture your teacher. What a rebellious disciple!"
"It's true. I read it in your study. As long as you look at blood and recall the happiest, most joyful monts in your life, once you get used to it, your hemophobia will naturally be cured."
Aoba felt like his face was about to be torn off.
Tsunade stopped her actions when she heard that, but her expression was still suspicious, "Are you serious?"
"There's a book about it in your study. You probably never even seriously read it yourself," Aoba showed a resentful expression.
Seeing his expression, Tsunade felt a bit awkward. She hadn't touched those books in her study for who knows how many years, how could she rember everything clearly?
She couldn't help but cough dryly twice.
Cough! Cough!
"In that case... I'll try it for a while. If it doesn't work, I'll draw so blood from you!", As she said that, Tsunade kneaded Aoba's face again before finally letting go.
Trying this kind of thod to cure hemophobia was ntal torture for her. If it weren't for the current situation, she wouldn't want to face it in this lifeti.
Shizune saw that Tsunade didn't seem to be planning to leave again, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Teacher, if you're going to undergo treatnt, I must stay by your side," Aoba said righteously.
"Why?", Tsunade was a bit confused.
"So if you get scared, I'll be there, maybe you can bear it a little more."
"..."
"Teacher, why is your face red?"
BANG!
"Let's eat!"

Sumr rain always cos fast and fierce.
It was as if the sky had suddenly been torn open, and raindrops the size of beans poured down like a dam breaking.
This rain ca violently, seemingly without warning, but actually there were signs.
After a dull sumr night passed, the next mont was filled with thunder and howling wind and rain.
This rain had started in the middle of the previous night, continued into this morning, and showed no signs of stopping.
At this mont, Aoba was holding an umbrella, walking alone on the streets of Konoha.
He was also holding a scroll in his hand.
Due to the sudden downpour, there were very few pedestrians on the street. No one liked going out in this kind of weather.
Hot and humid.
After walking for a while.
Aoba finally reached his destination.
[Hyuga Clan Grounds]
As soon as he approached the gate, Hyuga Natsu, dressed in a maid outfit, appeared at the entrance and slightly bowed, "Lord Aoba."
Aoba raised his right hand and showed her the scroll in his hand, smiling as he spoke, "This is the dicine teacher prepared for Aunt Ayako."
"Thank you for coming in the rain, Lord Aoba. Please co in," Hyuga Natsu said apologetically and then stepped aside.
Aoba was a bit surprised. He didn't expect to actually be let in this ti.
But he didn't ask much and walked into the courtyard. He had been here many tis before.
The entire Hyuga clan compound was mostly constructed from wood.
The style was simple yet dignified.
Just one glance and you could tell this was a prestigious family.
Due to the heavy rain, Hinata wasn't practicing Gentle Fist today.
She was kneeling in the corridor, listening to the sound of the rain while flipping through a book in her hands.
Hyuga Hanabi stood farther away from Hinata, secretly observing her.
Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ayako were drinking tea while watching the rain.
"This rain really ca at an interesting ti," Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Clan head, madam, Lord Aoba has arrived," MHyuga Natsu had already brought Aoba in.
Hinata, who had been reading, imdiately looked up toward the direction of the voice.
"Aoba-kun!", Hinata's face was full of joy. She thought with such heavy rain today, she wouldn't have the chance to see him.
She didn't expect Aoba to co directly to her house.
"Hinata, good morning," Aoba also smiled and greeted Hinata.
Hinata stood up, but before she could approach, a small figure had already rushed over.
"Aoba-oniichan!", It was Hyuga Hanabi who ran out and stood in front of Aoba, with a pitiful expression on her cute little face.
"What's wrong?"
Over the past few months, Aoba had been coming over often to deliver dicine, so he had built a good relationship with this little sister-in-law.
"Big sister bullied again this morning!", As she spoke, Hanabi rubbed her own butt with grievance. Clearly, she had been hit by Hinata earlier this morning.
Hinata instantly turned bright red rembering the morning incident.
Aoba imdiately understood what had happened and patted Hanabi's little head, "Did you bully your sister again?"
Hanabi had a slightly embarrassed look and whispered, "Because big sis looks so cute when she's shy."
Aoba glanced at Hinata, who still had a shy expression, and imdiately understood Hanabi's reason for teasing her.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Hyuga Hiashi's face was already dark as he finally couldn't help but make a sound.
Even if this kid was Tsunade's disciple, doing this kind of thing with both of his daughters right in front of him was still too much.
His hands were already itching.
"Uncle Hiashi," Aoba politely greeted Hyuga Hiashi and handed over the scroll in his hand.
"This week's dicine."
"Hm, help thank Lady Tsunade," Hyuga Hiashi took the scroll with a stern face.
"Also, thank you for bringing it over, Aoba-kun," Hyuga Ayako smiled at Aoba.
"This is my duty," Aoba smiled, then patted Hinata and Hanabi's heads again right in front of Hyuga Hiashi.
Seeing Hyuga Hiashi's temperature rising and warning bells going off, he planned to leave.
"Wait!", Hyuga Hiashi's voice rang out, seemingly suppressing the monster within.
"Co in and have a seat!", Aoba was a little curious about what dicine was being sold in this gourd, but the other party had already gone inside.

[In the Guest Room]
The two sat facing each other with a tea table between them.
Hyuga Hiashi held a teacup, gently sipping.
But that slightly trembling hand and those murderous eyes made Aoba feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Hanabi, sit sowhere else," He patted the head of Hanabi who was sitting on his lap.
He was afraid if this little girl didn't leave soon, he'd be silenced by Hyuga Hiashi.
"Why? I think Aoba-oniichan's lap is the most comfortable," Hanabi said sweetly, and while speaking, couldn't help but glance at Hinata, who had a bitter face.
Little Hanabi just wanted more attention from her sister, but her love-struck sister didn't understand at all.
Hinata didn't expect that in her own ho, soone would fight her for Aoba-kun.
This is what you call two flas fighting, Aoba profits.
"Hinata, take Hanabi outside for a bit," Hyuga Hiashi spoke.
Hinata acted like she had received an imperial decree, her eyes lit up, and she imdiately got up and carried Hanabi out.
Only two people remained in the room.
"Uncle Hiashi, is there sothing you want to talk to about?", Aoba figured it was probably related to Tsunade.
As Hinata and Hanabi left, Hyuga Hiashi finally cald his inner anger and spoke in a deep voice, "Young Aoba, as Lady Tsunade's disciple, you must be aware of the situation in Konoha. In your opinion, who among today's Konoha is worthy of being Hokage?"
