Demonic Pill and Spirit Pearl, Tsunade and Orochimaru

In the blink of an eye, it was May of Konoha Year 13.

All the unpleasantness from the previous year had been forgotten. The pursuit of the mysterious masked woman seemed to have become one of the Anbu's routine missions to track down rogue ninja, no longer worthy of special attention.

"Awesome!"

Hashirama Senju was the most excited of them all. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought the baby was his daughter. Takayuki also revealed
