Tsunade Returns to the Village

Konoha.

A villager shouted, "Lady Tsunade is back!"

The others on the street turned toward the sound.

They saw four people and a little pig slowly making their way forward.

"Get the children inside, now!!!" a woman shouted.

Everyone hurriedly herded their children into their homes.

One child protested, "No! I want to play outside!"

His mother scolded him, "Get inside, you little brat! I'm doing this for your own good. If you see something you shouldn't, you'll get styes!"

When the male villagers saw Tsunade—

Duang! Duang!

As they walked down the street, their faces lit up with delight!

"What a knockout!"

But their joy was short-lived, as their wives grabbed them by the ears and taught them a lesson!

The Hokage Building!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was processing documents!

A female ANBU member with long dark-purple hair and a mask hurried inside.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Yugao, weren't you and Hayate preparing for the Chunin Exams? Did something happen?"

The female ANBU named Yugao spoke in a captivating, mature voice.

"Lord Hokage! Lady Tsunade has returned to the village!"

"Oh, Tsunade? So she's back. It's no big deal!"

Clang!!!

Suddenly, the brush Hiruzen Sarutobi had been using to handle the documents fell to the floor.

"What? Tsunade is back? Hurry and give the order—strengthen security around the Finance Department! Tsunade must not be allowed inside!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage. But aside from Lady Tsunade and her student, Shizune...

Lady Tsunade also brought back a man, with a child beside him!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's old eyes widened. Wasn't Tsunade out enjoying herself at casinos?

Could it be that she had quit gambling? And gotten together with a man? And even had a child?

That was a lot to take in!!!

"Yugao, find out what's going on with Tsunade!"

Bang!!!

At that moment, the office door was kicked off its hinges, and the door panel flew straight toward Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Without panic, Hiruzen Sarutobi rose to his feet and caught the door panel with his bare hands.

"Old man, what are you trying to find out? Come on, give me money and I'll tell you!"

Tsunade planted her sandal-clad foot on the desk and glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi threateningly.

"Tsunade, that's going too far! Can't you leave me a little dignity? I'm still your teacher!!!"

"Cut the crap, old man. I came back this time for three things.

If you don't agree, I'll take over the Finance Department under your control!"

"You, you, you!!!"

So enraged that he grabbed his old pipe and took a frantic drag, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked like he was about to suffocate and desperately needed an oxygen tank!

"What exactly do you want, Tsunade?!"

"Listen carefully, old man! I'm not negotiating with you. I'm informing you.

First, let him take the Chunin Exams. Exempt him from the written test and let him start directly with the combat assessment!

Second, notify the daimyo of the Land of Fire and all the major Konoha clans to bring gifts to my residence tomorrow.

Third, give me Grandfather's Scroll of Sealing!!!"

Smack!!!

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand onto the desk and shouted furiously, "Tsunade, are you trying to rebel?! I won't agree to this!"

Tsunade did not back down and confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi head-on.

She shouted with overwhelming force, "Old man, you can choose not to agree. Let's see whether I dare to rob Konoha of every last coin!"

Seeing Tsunade being so forceful, Hiruzen Sarutobi dropped into his chair and said quietly, "Give me a reason!"

Tsunade pulled Shao Nan before the desk. "He carries pure Senju blood! Is that reason enough?!"

"You mean the bloodline of the First Hokage, Lord Hashirama?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked over to Shao Nan and examined him closely!

"Tsunade, are you sure he isn't wearing makeup? Or using the Transformation Jutsu?"

[Ding, challenge mission issued. Hiruzen Sarutobi dares to doubt the host, which means he doubts the system.]

[Knock out his front teeth. Reward: Wood Release and all of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release ninjutsu, excluding Wood Release Sage Jutsu.]

After hearing the mission, Shao Nan felt that this system had quite the personality.

"System, I really like your personality!"

[No, Host. Please calm down. The target of your affection should be women.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi kept circling Shao Nan as if he were watching a clown, staring without end!

He touched him here and there. "Where did you get this human skin? It's so lifelike!"

Tsunade's face was filled with anger, as though she could explode at any moment.

"Ata~"

Shao Nan did not care how old Hiruzen Sarutobi was. He threw a right hook directly into his face!

The monstrous-strength right hook sent the unguarded Hiruzen Sarutobi flying!

The immense impact blasted Hiruzen Sarutobi through the wall of the Hokage Building, after which he plummeted toward the street at high speed!

With a bang, he smashed out a crater and kicked up a huge cloud of dust.

Hiruzen Sarutobi cried out in pain and spat two front teeth from his mouth.

Then he said unclearly, "I didn't have many teeth to begin with. Now my front teeth are gone too. Will I only be able to eat porridge from now on?"

[Ding, challenge mission completed. Rewards have been issued!]

After seeing old Hiruzen get sent flying, Tsunade spoke in a somewhat reproachful tone.

"Shao Nan, I hadn't even made a move yet. How could you strike first? He's Konoha's Hokage!"

Shizune stared at Shao Nan in shock. So domineering. As expected of the man Lady Tsunade has chosen!

Chino tugged on Shizune's clothes.

"Big Sister Shizune, Brother is so cool! I want to be as strong as Brother too!"

Shizune picked Chino up and affectionately kissed her.

"Little Chino mustn't learn that. It's too rough!"

The female ANBU, Yugao, raised her sword and pointed it at Shao Nan.

"You attacked Lord Hokage. You are an enemy!"

With one look, Shao Nan already knew that she was another great beauty from the world of Naruto.

Should I use genjutsu on her?!!!

In the original story, Yugao Uzuki's boyfriend, Hayate Gekko, died at the hands of Baki from Sunagakure.

Later, because Konoha and Sunagakure formed an alliance—

It was impossible for Konoha's council of elders to support her in seeking revenge.

She could not betray Konoha and destroy the alliance between the village and Sunagakure.

Even if she wanted to raise her sword and avenge her boyfriend, there was nothing she could do.

In the end, Yugao could only leave the ANBU and live an ordinary life!

Who is Hayate Gekko? I don't know him, and I've never met him. I definitely can't save him!

But I must save Yugao Uzuki from her sorrow.

Shao Nan looked at Yugao. "Beautiful, your hands are so pretty!

I'm not an enemy! I'm just not used to men staring at me, especially old men."

Tsunade raised a hand and rubbed her temple, muttering to herself.

"Getting close to beautiful women is his true dream, isn't it?"

At that moment, Yugao felt offended again.

This handsome young man had been staring at the hand holding her sword!

A fierce look appeared on her face. She raised her sword and slashed at Shao Nan. "Lecher!"

Tsunade gave Yugao no chance to cut Shao Nan. She stomped directly on Yugao's sword with a Heavenly Foot of Pain.

Boom!!!

The floor of the Hokage Building's second story was crushed apart, and a mass of bricks and rubble fell down to the first floor.

"Yugao, he isn't an enemy."

After hearing the violent commotion from the Hokage Building, the ANBU swarmed over!

Several dozen ANBU directly under the Hokage appeared here!

"So it's Lady Tsunade. We thought there was an enemy!"
