Tsunade

Several days later, early in the morning.

Whoosh~

The familiar vortex appeared out of thin air in the laboratory, and Feng Yao and Orochimaru emerged.

"Yao, I never expected you to know the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu too—and you're even better at it than I am."

Shock still lingered in Orochimaru's eyes. This forbidden jutsu required a long time to master completely; even he had only learned the basics.

"Flattery won't get you anywhere, Orochimaru." Feng Yao turned to look at Orochimaru's profile. "Do you think Tsunade will agree to our request?"

"She definitely will. Those two are everything to her. No matter what we ask, she'll agree."

Feng Yao nodded. Orochimaru wasn't wrong about that. If Naruto hadn't had a mouth that was practically a cheat code, Tsunade really would have done just as he said.

He had already sent Sai and Kabuto to gather information. His arrival had thrown off the timeline of events in the Naruto world.

Tsunade wasn't in Tanzaku Town right now, but with her reputation as the legendary sucker, she wouldn't be hard to find.

Feng Yao had even asked the Katsuyu Sage, but unfortunately, Tsunade hadn't summoned her in a long time, so she had no useful information.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Sai came in.

He dipped his head slightly.

"Sorry to disturb you, Lord Feng Yao. I've found the person you were looking for. She's in Asakusa Street."

"Good work. Thanks for your effort. Orochimaru, call Kabuto. We'll head over together."

Since Feng Yao had no memories of Asakusa Street, they had to walk there.

The mobility of Kamui in the right eye and the Flying Thunder God were each impressive in their own way. The former didn't need a mark at all; as long as you'd been somewhere before, you could go straight there. The latter, however, required a mark.

But in terms of speed, Kamui was far inferior to the Flying Thunder God. Kamui took longer to absorb things, but there was one Space-Time Ninjutsu that was an exception. It required no marks at all; as long as you wished, you could travel freely through the same space, even to places you'd never been before.

It was the ultimate Space-Time Ninjutsu in Naruto: Yomotsu Hirasaka!

This jutsu required the power of all three great dōjutsu to use. That was why Feng Yao had brought Neji along. The only thing he lacked now was Nagato's Rinnegan.

Asakusa Street was in the northwest of the Land of Fire. At their pace, it would take less than half a day to get there.

At noon, inside a gambling den.

"Aw, miss, are you really betting again? If you lose this time, you'll be out of money!"

"I'm betting! Why wouldn't I? I'll win all your money back in one go!"

A woman's voice, edged with anger, rang out. Anyone could tell she'd lost money.

"Lady Tsunade, we're almost out of money! We haven't paid back what we borrowed last time, either. Just look at how happy those gamblers are."

Inside the room, Shizune held a little pig in her arms and tried earnestly to talk Tsunade out of it.

Tsunade rolled up her sleeves and waved a hand.

"Don't worry, Shizune. You have to believe in me. This time, I won't just win our money back—I'll make a fortune." Tsunade was on a roll, and there was no way she'd listen to reason.

A few of the gamblers nearby chimed in, too. "Exactly! You can't leave until you've lost all your money—uh, I mean, won it all back! Haha."

They'd long since figured out that she was the legendary sucker who lost every bet.

In the end, Tsunade lost her stake again. Furious, she smashed the table in half with one punch.

"Ah! My luck is just the worst!" The money flew everywhere, startling Shizune and the little pig.

The other gamblers hurriedly stepped back a few paces.

Then they grinned at Tsunade. "Miss, don't be angry. Gambling means sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, right? You still owe us a little something."

Tsunade's cheeks reddened slightly at that. She'd gotten carried away and lost track of how much money she'd started with.

"Aw, next time. I'll pay you back next time."

Making excuses, Tsunade grabbed Shizune and tried to run. The gamblers nearby weren't having it and hurried to block their way.

"Come on, miss, pay up today. Your reputation, well—anyway, you can't leave without paying!"

"Oh? Is that so? We'll see if you can stop me." Tsunade's eyes sharpened. Just as she was about to make a move, a gentle voice came from the doorway.

"I'll cover her gambling debts. Please don't give her a hard time."

Feng Yao pushed the door open and entered. Everyone's attention turned to him. He wasn't wearing a mask; there was no longer any need to hide his identity.

His features looked as if they'd been sculpted by God. His fair skin and deep-blue eyes made everyone in the room think the same thing.

"How can someone this handsome even exist?"

Shizune and Tsunade were briefly stunned, too, but they quickly recovered.

Kabuto glanced at Feng Yao. They were so used to his looks in Sound Village that they'd nearly forgotten how much attention his face drew.

"May I ask how much she owes in total?" Feng Yao asked with effortless charm and impeccable manners.

The gamblers nearby snapped out of it and hurriedly replied.

"Uh, she owes a total of one million two hundred thousand ryo."

"Oh, only one million two hundred thou—cough, Kabuto, you can pay that."

When Feng Yao realized he couldn't afford it himself, he quickly passed the burden to someone else.

He'd given all his money to Orochimaru, and only had a few tens of thousands of ryo on him. Kabuto gave his leader a scornful look, then reluctantly paid out one million two hundred thousand ryo.

"I can get this reimbursed, right, Lord Feng Yao?"

"...You can. You can."

Hearing the complaint in Kabuto's voice, Feng Yao hastened to reassure him.

"Tsunade, it's been a long time. I came here because I have something to ask you—or rather, my leader has something he'd like your help with."

Orochimaru's sibilant voice came from behind Feng Yao, and Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

They then brought Tsunade to an open area.

Tsunade tossed her hair and turned around to face Feng Yao. "All right, tell me. What exactly do you want?"

Tsunade had to have the most incredible figure Feng Yao had seen since coming to the Naruto world, especially the way it moved as she turned.

Feng Yao hurriedly shook his head, clearing out the wild thoughts in his mind.

"Lady Tsunade, I'd like you to treat a child who's suffering from a Kekkei Genkai. I also want to invite you to join my organization."

As soon as she heard why Feng Yao had come, Tsunade was ready to refuse.

"Sorry, but I have no intention of joining any organization. And from the way they address you, you're the rogue ninja who turned Konoha upside down, aren't you? Aren't you afraid I'll... kill you?"

As she spoke, she bent down and punched the ground.

Her terrifying strength shattered the concrete within a fifty-meter radius, and the ground beneath Feng Yao and the others sank a few centimeters.

Using this monstrous strength required the user to control their chakra precisely, concentrating it throughout the body until it covered them completely, then releasing a powerful burst of force.

Tsunade was a medical ninja who excelled at precise chakra control. That was why she'd been able to develop this technique so well.

By the time they regained their footing, Tsunade was glaring at them with murderous intent. As a rogue ninja and an associate of Orochimaru, Feng Yao had no reason to expect her to show him any courtesy.

Feng Yao bit his finger and formed the hand seals for Tiger, Snake, Dog, and Dragon before bringing his hands together.

"Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!"

Two coffins rose from the shattered ground. Feng Yao was every bit as familiar with the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu as Orochimaru, after all; he could master any Space-Time Ninjutsu.

"Lady Tsunade, don't be in such a hurry. Take a look at these two first, then decide whether to agree to my request."

The coffin lids fell away. The murderous look in Tsunade's eyes melted away in an instant, leaving only tears filled with love and longing.
