The room on the second floor.
Tsunade sat down on the only wooden chair in the room with a bold, carefree air.
Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato stood before her, watching the pretty young woman who had suddenly come to see them.
"Little girl, the people you wanted to see are all here. What information do you have for us?" Yahiko asked patiently, a gentle smile on his face.
"You three are all Jiraiya's students, aren't you?" Tsunade got straight to the point, revealing their identities as soon as she spoke.
The moment Tsunade said this, the expressions of all three changed. Yahiko's smile vanished in an instant.
"Who are you, exactly?"
The atmosphere in the room gradually grew tense.
Tsunade dispelled the Transformation Technique and, under their astonished gazes, returned to her mature appearance.
"You're... Lady Tsunade?" Yahiko asked hesitantly.
"Looks like you still remember me." Tsunade rose from her seat and folded her arms across her chest.
"I really don't know how that idiot Jiraiya taught you. You—"
"Don't you dare insult Jiraiya-sensei!" Yahiko interrupted her, agitated.
Tsunade stepped forward and bonked Yahiko on the head with her fist, making him crouch down and clutch his head.
"Yahiko!" Konan and Nagato cried out worriedly. They hurried forward, placing themselves between Yahiko and Tsunade.
"Don't interrupt me when I'm talking!" Tsunade lectured him irritably, one hand on her hip.
Yahiko stood back up, rubbing his head, and motioned for Nagato and Konan to return to his side.
The three of them stood in a row, looking at Tsunade and waiting for their teacher's teammate to explain why she had come.
"You've already caught Hanzo's attention." As she spoke, Tsunade looked into Nagato's eyes. "Hanzo already knows you have the Rinnegan. He's got his eye on it."
"What do you mean?"
