can you help me out?

"Man? What do you mean?" Tsunade asked, confused.

"Yes, I am a man." Fugaku closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I don't know what happened, but ever since I ate that fruit, I've been feeling a strong attraction to any woman I see.

It's like a flower that attracts bees with its sweet nectar and beautiful petals. I can't resist it at all," he explained, looking slightly uncomfortable.

He had felt the same way when he saw the female medical ninjas in Tsunade's squad. They were not as good-looking as Mikoto, but he couldn't control his raging hormones. He tried to control himself with great difficulty.

Tsunade was stunned by his confession. "So... you..."

"Yes, I am afraid I will do something inappropriate if I meet you in person." Fugaku said it very frankly while looking towards the lake.

Tsunade was shocked. How can he confess like that? And what was wrong with him? Was he poisoned or something? That couldn't be because if it was something like that, he wouldn't have lasted a few days.

She looked at his back and did not know what to say for a while. So he had avoided her on purpose. But why did this happen to him?

Suddenly, Tsunade remembered what the old man had told her about the fruit that Fugaku had eaten and how it had made him stronger.

Could it be that this was a side effect of that fruit? It must be because the Fugaku she knew before was not like this. But what could she do now? …

"That...I think you may be poisoned," Tsunade said uncertainly, not ruling out the possibility of some unknown poison.

Fugaku let out a long breath. "I don't know..."

"I can try to detoxify you!" Tsunade spoke cautiously with a frown. After all, he was the Jonin Commander, and he was strong. It would be difficult to depend on him to defend the border if anything happened.

Fugaku was stunned, turning his head to stare at Tsunade with an incredulous expression. "Detoxification...how can you do that?"

He stared at Tsunade as he asked her, unable to keep his eyes from wandering to her cleavage.

Sensing Fugaku's gaze, Tsunade realized he might have misunderstood and replied, "Of course, I can attempt to use my medical ninjutsu, but there's no guarantee it will work."

"Phew," Fugaku sighed in relief, realizing his misunderstood.

He couldn't tear his gaze away from Tsunade's voluptuous figure. His hands trembled involuntarily, as if he wanted to grope her.

"Hey...?"

Tsunade noticed his strange behavior and grew uneasy. Swiftly, she dodged and took a step back, extracting a smoke bomb from her ninja bag. With a loud bang, the smoke exploded.

As the smoke obscured his vision, he couldn't see her anymore and sighed in relief.

He turned around and said, "I suppose it's fantasy. I can't be within a meter of any woman now, or I might lose control."

"Unbelievable… How can this even be possible?"

Tsunade was visibly shocked, finding it hard to come to terms with what had just transpired.

She couldn't deny the severity of the situation, even though it seemed almost unbelievable. If anyone affected by the fruit had gained strength, they could possibly control themselves and slowly reverse the effect.

However, if the person was stronger, who could stop them? Fugaku could be controlled, but if he couldn't, someone would need to restrain him with iron chains, provided he wasn't near a woman.

"Does Mikoto know about this?" she asked, suddenly thinking of something.

"I didn't tell her. I think she may have noticed something, though," Fugaku answered, feeling a rare sense of calm in his heart when he mentioned her name.

Tsunade didn't probe him further. The whole situation seemed ridiculous to her, and she couldn't believe that something so absurd could happen to a person. If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

She also understood why Fugaku had let her hit him in the arena. Although their relationship had improved a lot since then, he had always been as perverted as Jiraiya.

His pervy behavior had always disgusted her, especially after having witnessed some of his actions firsthand.

However, as she looked at the man standing before her with his back turned, she found that she couldn't bring herself to hate him. Maybe there was a way she could help him?

Her mind raced with the possibility of asking a female ninja for help, but Tsunade was horrified even to contemplate it.

If words got out about his action or rumors spread again, his reputation and standing in the village would be ruined. Mikoto would never forgive him, and the village would be disgusted with him.

Letting out a long breath, Tsunade asked tentatively, "So, what are you planning to do now?"

Even though she is known as the legendary medic ninja, there is nothing she can do at the moment.

"I was thinking of looking for a random woman to relieve myself, and maybe that would make me feel better, but I didn't expect you to call me out." Fugaku said this in bitterness, still looking in the direction of the camp. He didn't dare look at her now.

He had tried to use his own hands, but this method worked well in his own world, but it didn't help in this one.

He remembered how he had held back for so long before and how Mikoto had used her mouth for an hour to relive him, and he wondered how he could achieve anything with his hands.

"You... you want to find a random woman? What about Mikoto?" Tsunade was shocked when she heard him. She couldn't stand his nonchalant attitude, but before she could continue, he raised his hand and interrupted her.

"I have no choice; my chakra is very unstable, and if I drag it on, something bad will happen. I believe Mikoto will understand." Fugaku said, and then took a deep breath and asked, "Hey, or maybe you can help me out?"

She could understand his suffering, but she couldn't bring herself to do that.

"Idiot, how can you say that?" Tsunade rejected his shameless advance.

But as soon as she said that, she felt that she might be harsh. He was in such a condition that even if she refused him, she should be more tactful. She also knew that she was not good at that.

"I was just joking with you. Anyway, you should go back and don't tell anyone about this. It's a humiliating thing."

"Don't worry, I won't. But... aren't you going back to the camp? Do you really want to?" Tsunade asked incredulously.

He didn't really intend to look for a random woman to solve his problem, did he?

"Well, I have no other choice. I have to find a place... Ahem... I'll try to be back before noon tomorrow. If I don't make it, ask Shikaku to take over command."

After saying that, Fugaku didn't wait for Tsunade to reply. He formed a seal, used the forbidden eight-gate technique, and dashed towards the Land of Fire.

He didn't know if there was such a place in the town near the camp because the population of the Land of Rivers was too small. So he decided to go back to the Land of Fire. With the forbidden eight-gate technique, he could get there in two hours.

Tsunade watched him disappear into the horizon and felt a bit ridiculous. What was that? A married man looking for a woman?

But his reason for doing so was so absurd that she couldn't bring herself to hate him. She could see that he was really struggling, not pretending.

Of course, she trusted what Fugaku said. Otherwise, with his strength, he could have done anything to her in that situation and place, and she wouldn't have been able to resist.

"Huh, he.....".
