Tsunade

Early morning, a few days later.

Whoosh.

Inside the laboratory, that familiar vortex appeared out of thin air once more, and Feng Yao and Orochimaru stepped out.

"Feng Yao, I truly didn't expect you to also possess the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, and to use it even better than I do."

A lingering shock remained in Orochimaru's eyes; this forbidden jutsu required long periods of practice to fully master, and he himself had only scratched the surface.

"You flatter me, Orochimaru," Feng Yao said, turning to look at Orochimaru's profile. "Do you think Tsunade will agree to our demands?"

"She certainly will. To her, those two people are her everything. No matter what we ask of her, she will agree."

Feng Yao nodded upon hearing this. In truth, Orochimaru was not wrong; if not for Naruto and his cheat-like Talk no Jutsu, Tsunade would indeed be exactly as he described.

He had already dispatched Sai and Kabuto to gather intelligence. Due to his arrival, the timeline of the Hokage world was no longer aligned.

Tsunade was currently not in Tanzaku Town, but given her legendary reputation as the "Sucker," finding her would not be difficult.

Feng Yao had even consulted the Katsuyu Sage, but unfortunately, the summoner had not called upon it for a long time, so no useful information had been obtained.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Sai entered.

He bowed his head slightly.

"Pardon the intrusion, Lord Feng Yao. I have found the person you are looking for; she is at Asakusa Street."

"Well done, thank you for your hard work. Orochimaru, call Kabuto; let us go together."

Since Feng Yao had no memory of the scene at Asakusa Street in his mind, they had to travel there on foot.

The movement abilities of the right eye's Kamui and the Flying Thunder God each had their own merits. The former required no markers at all—as long as you had been to a place, you could move there directly—while the latter required a seal.

However, in terms of speed, Kamui was far inferior to the Flying Thunder God. Kamui's absorption speed was relatively slow, but there was one space-time ninjutsu that was an exception. It required no markers whatsoever; one could traverse the same space at will, even to places one had never visited before.

That was the ultimate space-time ninjutsu in the world of Naruto: Yomotsu Hirasaka!

Activating this technique required gathering the power of the three great ocular powers, which was why Feng Yao had brought Neji along. Now, he only lacked Nagato's Rinnegan.

Asakusa Street was located in the northwest of the Land of Fire, and at their speed, it would take less than half a day to arrive.

At noon, inside a casino.

"Oh my, Big Sister, are you still going to bet? If you lose again, you won't have any money left."

"I'm betting! Why wouldn't I? I'm going to win everything back in one go!"

A female voice filled with slight anger rang out; it was clear she had been losing money.

"Lady Tsunade, we are almost out of money. We haven't even paid back what we borrowed last time. Look at how happy those gamblers are."

In the room, Shizune held Tonton in her arms, trying to persuade her earnestly.

Tsunade rolled up her sleeves and waved her hand dismissively.

"It doesn't matter, Shizune. You have to believe in me. This time, not only will I win the money back, but I'll make a huge profit." Tsunade was currently on a roll; she couldn't hear a word of reason.

The gamblers nearby chimed in, "That's right! If you don't lose all your money... er, no, if you don't win it all back, how can you leave? Haha!"

These people had long since realized that the woman was the legendary "Sucker" who lost every bet she made.

In the final round, Tsunade lost her stake once again. Furious, she smashed the table in half with a single punch.

"Ah—! This luck is absolutely terrible!" Money flew everywhere, startling both Shizune and Tonton.

The gamblers opposite her quickly retreated a few steps.

Then, they grinned at Tsunade and said, "Big Sister, don't be angry. Isn't it normal to win or lose in gambling? You still owe us a bit, you know~"

Hearing this, Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly. She had been too caught up in the moment and hadn't paid attention to her capital.

"Oh, next time! I'll pay you back next time."

Tsunade tried to brush them off while pulling Shizune along, intending to run, but the gamblers nearby weren't having it and quickly moved to block their path.

"Don't be like that, Big Sister. Just pay up today. Your reputation... ahem, in short, you can't leave without paying."

"Oh? Is that so? Then we'll see if you can stop me." Tsunade's gaze sharpened. Just as she was about to make a move, a gentle voice drifted in.

"Leave her gambling debts to me. I ask that you all do not make things difficult for her."

Feng Yao pushed the door open and walked in. The focus of the entire room shifted to him. Feng Yao was not wearing a mask, as he no longer needed to hide his identity.

With features that looked as if carved by the gods, fair skin, and deep blue eyes, everyone in the room had the same thought.

"How can there be such a beautiful person in this world?"

Shizune and Tsunade couldn't help but be dazed for a moment, though they quickly recovered.

Kabuto looked at Feng Yao from the side. They had grown accustomed to Feng Yao's appearance in the Sound Village, to the point that he had almost forgotten how eye-catching this face was.

"May I ask how much she owes in total?" Feng Yao asked with grace and elegance.

The gamblers nearby also snapped out of their trance and hurriedly responded.

"Uh, the total comes to 1.2 million ryo."

"Oh~ it's only 1.2 milli... cough, cough, Kabuto, you pay for this."

Upon hearing a sum he could never afford, Feng Yao immediately shifted the burden elsewhere.

All his money had gone to Orochimaru, leaving him with only a few tens of thousands of ryo. Kabuto shot a look of disdain at his boss, but ultimately, he reluctantly coughed up the 1.2 million ryo.

"I expect this can be reimbursed, Lord Feng Yao!"

"...Yes, of course, it can."

Hearing the resentment in Kabuto's tone, Feng Yao hurriedly offered some soothing words.

"Long time no see, Tsunade. I've come to see you today for a matter—no, I should say, my leader has a matter he needs your help with."

Orochimaru's feminine, sinister voice drifted from behind Feng Yao, and Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

They then led Tsunade to an open clearing.

Tsunade tossed her hair and turned around, saying to Feng Yao, "Speak. What exactly do you want with me?"

It had to be said, Tsunade's figure was truly the most incredible Feng Yao had seen since arriving in the world of Hokage, especially the way she swayed when she turned.

Feng Yao quickly shook his head, trying to clear the messy thoughts from his mind.

"Lady Tsunade, I would like to ask you to treat a child who is suffering from the burden of a Kekkei Genkai. Furthermore, I would like to invite you to join my organization."

Upon hearing the reason for his request, Tsunade's first instinct was to refuse.

"Sorry, but I have no intention of joining any organization. Besides, judging by how they address you, you're that rogue ninja who turned Konoha into a mess, aren't you? Aren't you afraid that I might... kill you for coming here!"

As she spoke, she leaned forward and slammed a fist into the ground.

The terrifying Monster Strength caused the concrete within a fifty-meter radius to crack into pieces, and Feng Yao and the others sank several centimeters into the earth.

The use of Monster Strength requires the user to have precise control over their chakra, concentrating it throughout the entire body to coat it before unleashing a powerful burst of air.

Tsunade herself is a medical ninja who excels in precise chakra control, which is precisely why she has been able to develop Monster Strength to such a high degree.

As he steadied himself, the Tsunade opposite him was filled with killing intent. Indeed, for a rogue ninja like himself and Orochimaru, Tsunade had no reason to be polite.

Feng Yao bit his finger and performed the hand seals: Tiger-Snake-Dog-Dragon, then pressed his palms together.

"Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation!"

Two coffins rose from the shattered earth. Feng Yao's familiarity with Impure World Reincarnation was no less than Orochimaru's; after all, he had mastered all space-time ninjutsu.

"Don't be so hasty, Lady Tsunade. Why not take a look at these two people before you decide whether to agree to my request?"

The coffin lids fell away, and the murderous look in Tsunade's eyes melted in an instant, replaced only by tears brimming with love and longing.
