Tsunade

"I've actually mastered it."

Uzumaki Naruto looked at his own hands, feeling somewhat surprised himself.

In the original story, the number of techniques Naruto knew was very small; he basically used the Rasengan to reach the series finale.

Even then, it had taken Naruto a long time to learn the Rasengan, and even then, it was only half-baked, requiring the assistance of Shadow Clones, which made his aptitude seem not very good.

However, having transmigrated here, he didn't know what kind of influence was at play, but he felt his aptitude was actually quite good. He could learn ninjutsu very quickly, and even the Flying Thunder God was quite simple for him.

Feeling a bit hungry at the same time, he was in a good mood and prepared to go out for a good meal to celebrate.

He went downstairs and found a restaurant. As soon as he walked in, a busty beauty walked toward him.

This woman had a voluptuous figure and a fair complexion. Her upper body was curvaceous and full, while she wore cropped shorts on her lower body, revealing fair, slender, jade-like legs. Her small feet were as white as jade, rosy and delicate, small and exquisite. The skin on her insteps was smooth and fine, and her toes were even and neatly painted with red nail polish.

Looking at her face, she was young and beautiful, just like an eighteen-year-old girl.

Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked by her appearance and temperament.

A loli face, a mature woman's voice, a married woman's figure, and a young girl's heart.

This person was none other than one of the Sannin, Tsunade, the princess of Konoha.

Even though he hadn't met her before, Naruto recognized her at a glance through her appearance and the mark on her forehead.

"Hey, brat, what are you looking at?"

Tsunade's eyes were lazy and her gaze was displeased. If it weren't for the fact that he was just a child, she would have gone up and punched him for that look.

"You must be Lady Tsunade, right? My name is Uzumaki Naruto, Kushina's son. I came out with Jiraiya specifically to find Lady Tsunade."

Naruto withdrew his appreciative gaze and stated his origins directly.

To be honest, Tsunade's appearance truly stunned Naruto. She was definitely the type of woman men liked most: a bold personality, a domineering temperament, a married woman's figure, and a loli's face.

"Why did Jiraiya let you come alone?"

"Pervy Sage went out to look for you, and I just came out to get something to eat and didn't expect to run into Lady Tsunade."

Naruto felt a bit awkward.

"You haven't eaten yet? Perfect, let's go eat together."

As Tsunade spoke, she led Naruto to a private room on the second floor.

"Lady Tsunade, you can't drink anymore today."

Before they even entered the room, they heard a young girl's voice.

Looking up, they saw a girl holding a small pink pig sitting there in the room.

"Alright, alright, no more drinking today."

Tsunade felt a bit helpless.

"Who is this?"

Shizune saw Naruto.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I am Jiraiya's disciple."

"Oh, oh, please, have a seat."

Naruto didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, first eating a little something.

Then, he exchanged a few words with her.

"Brat, what is your business coming to find me this time?"

Tsunade had vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Lady Tsunade, the Third Hokage has sacrificed himself. We came here this time to ask you to go back and serve as the Fifth Hokage."

Naruto didn't waste any words and stated the purpose of his visit directly.

"What happened?"

Hearing that the old man, the Third, had sacrificed himself, Tsunade only frowned.

Naruto began to explain.

Soon, he explained the situation simply and clearly.

"The Uchiha Clan rebelled."

Influenced by her granduncle, she also had some aversion toward the Uchiha Clan.

"That's right. Lady Tsunade, if you don't go back now, I'm afraid Konoha will fall into chaos."

Things were different from the original story now; the Uchiha Clan had not yet been wiped out, and the situation was special, so only Tsunade could serve as Hokage.

"Brat, I don't want to be Hokage. Whoever wants to be Hokage can go ahead."

Tsunade didn't care at all, picking up her teacup and taking a slow sip.

Naruto frowned deeply.

Because of her younger brother and some of her own experiences, Tsunade at this period was completely disappointed in Konoha.

Getting her to agree to become Hokage is truly a hassle.

For a moment, Naruto Uzumaki had no idea what to do.

"Lady Tsunade, are you just going to watch Konoha, which the First Hokage built with his own hands, be destroyed by internal strife?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked up at Tsunade's face.

Shizune stood to the side, clutching her pig, watching Tsunade nervously without saying a word.

Tsunade's tea-drinking motion froze.

She felt a sense of inner struggle.

"If you want to be it so badly, brat, you can go do it yourself."

In the end, Tsunade still didn't nod in agreement, but instead looked at Naruto Uzumaki.

"I'd love to, but unfortunately, I'm not old enough; I'm still attending the Ninja Academy."

Naruto Uzumaki spread his hands helplessly.

Of course, his inner thought was that only a dog would want to be Hokage.

"Oh, so you want to be Hokage, brat?"

"Naturally."

"In that case, let me see what your resolve is like."

At this moment, Tsunade was already feeling a bit moved, but as a woman, she couldn't help but be a bit tsundere, so she prepared to find a way to step down gracefully.

"How do you want to see it?"

"Didn't you say you've mastered the power of the Nine-Tails? Defeat me, and I'll help you look after the position of Hokage. If you can't, then you can do it yourself," Tsunade said.

Naruto Uzumaki hadn't held anything back during his earlier explanation.

So, at this point, Tsunade had become interested; on one hand, she wanted to see this so-called Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and on the other, she wanted to see just how much this child had grown.

"Fine, but you have to be careful; I still can't control my power."

Naruto Uzumaki felt a faint sense of excitement; having been in this world for so many years, he had never had a proper fight with anyone.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Tsunade possessed terrifying regenerative abilities, so he didn't have to worry about causing injury.

"Alright, let's go outside and test it out."

Tsunade stood up.

The two headed toward the outskirts of the village.

Unlike the original story, this time Tsunade did not underestimate her opponent.

After all, the Third Hokage had died at the hands of the Nine-Tails; the power of the Nine-Tails was not to be taken lightly.

The three of them walked to an open area.

"Start whenever you're ready, brat."

"Pardon me, Lady Tsunade."

[Nine-Tails Chakra Mode activated]

In an instant, a golden flame rose, and Naruto Uzumaki transformed into a brilliant, golden figure.

"Chakra Mode."

Tsunade's expression grew grave; although she had expected it, she was still deeply shocked when she truly felt it.

She had only ever felt this kind of terrifying amount of chakra from her great-uncle.

As for her grandfather, he had died quite early when Tsunade was still young, so she never had the chance to experience it.

Strictly speaking, Tsunade was also a taijutsu-style ninja!

Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki didn't intend to use ninjutsu and charged straight at her.

[Body Flicker Technique]

His body vanished instantly, and the ground beneath him collapsed.

Arriving before Tsunade, he threw a simple straight punch, but the wind pressure it generated was in no way inferior to a standard Wind Release technique.

Tsunade raised her arms to block.

Boom! A terrifying, thunderous sound rang out.

The punch Naruto Uzumaki threw was caught firmly.

Tsunade's coat billowed backward.

"This is Strength of a Hundred; a fine technique."

Naruto Uzumaki was shocked.

However, the one truly surprised at this moment was Tsunade.

"Is this the kind of power an eight-year-old brat is capable of?"

Although she knew this was the power of the Nine-Tails, since Naruto Uzumaki was able to wield it, it was his power nonetheless.

Naruto Uzumaki's body vanished in an instant.

He began to attack from all directions, though he relied solely on basic taijutsu.

However, when it came to raw strength, no one could surpass Tsunade at the moment.

At the same time, Tsunade's combat techniques had been honed through real-world experience.

"So strong. As expected of Lady Tsunade."

After dozens of exchanges, Naruto Uzumaki took the initiative to retreat.

"Is that all you've got, brat?"

Tsunade appeared somewhat disdainful.
