Tsunade Spent the Night with Me?

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Uchiha Gōka's Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"Do you want to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"That's right. I tried evolving my Three-Tomoe Sharingan into a Mangekyō Sharingan, but I don't have any experience."

Uchiha Gōka curled his lips into a wicked smile.

"How old are you this year?"

"Eighteen!"

Madara Uchiha nodded lightly.

"So the Uchiha Clan of the future produced a genius brat like you."

"I don't mind giving you some guidance on how to train the Sharingan."

"Possessing a Three-Tomoe Sharingan already makes one outstanding within the clan. After all, further evolution cannot be attained through hard training alone. It also requires a certain amount of talent."

Madara Uchiha truthfully explained the Sharingan's ultimate form, as well as the unique abilities of each Mangekyō Sharingan...

Uchiha Gōka held his breath and focused completely, absorbing it all...

After a while, Madara Uchiha finished speaking.

Uchiha Gōka let out a soft breath.

After all, his physical and spiritual energy had already been unable to hold on for some time.

In order to fully obtain Madara Uchiha's experience and insights regarding the "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan,"

Uchiha Gōka had overdrawn his mental strength and forced himself to endure.

Suddenly, Uchiha Gōka's soul body trembled violently...

"No! Tsunade, grab onto me! We need to leave now!"

"I can't hold on any longer!"

As the words fell, Uchiha Gōka rapidly formed hand seals...

Madara Uchiha watched Uchiha Gōka's hand seals with cold eyes, seemingly having no intention of stopping him.

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Gōka with nervous concern.

Very quickly, Tsunade felt her vision suddenly go dark as her body shot upward, leaving the ground.

Her body streaked across the sky like a swiftly flying meteor.

A moment later, when Tsunade opened her eyes again,

she found herself in Uchiha Gōka's home—the basement.

Tsunade's face brightened with joy. "Karmic Fire, we're back!"

Then, Tsunade suddenly felt overwhelming exhaustion wash over her, leaving her weak all over...

"What's happening to me?"

Tsunade looked toward Uchiha Gōka and found that he had already collapsed onto the floor.

"Karmic Fire, what happened to you?"

Her face full of worry, Tsunade's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Uchiha Gōka with concern...

Lying on the floor, Uchiha Gōka half-opened his eyes and weakly looked at Tsunade.

"We stayed in the Pure Land too long."

"I activated the Resurrection Technique and overdrawn a great deal of physical and spiritual energy."

"Right now, I don't even have the strength to speak."

Tsunade suddenly understood. "So that's what happened!"

In order to take care of Uchiha Gōka and help him recover his physical and mental strength,

Tsunade chose to stay at Uchiha Gōka's home that night.

Dragging her exhausted body out of the basement, Tsunade went to the kitchen, brought plenty of food and drinks down, and fed them to Karmic Fire...

In the Pure Land.

Madara Uchiha watched Uchiha Gōka and Tsunade transform into two streaks of yellow light, shoot across the sky, and vanish beyond the horizon.

"What a terrifying brat!"

"How did the Uchiha Clan produce such a freak after I died?"

"How did that brat learn so many secrets of the ninja world?"

"I wonder how the Eye of the Moon Plan is progressing now?"

"Was the content on the stone tablet at Nanga Shrine altered by someone?"

"Wasn't Black Zetsu a will formed by my Rinnegan?"

"How are Konoha Village, the Uchiha Clan, and the Senju Clan developing now?"

"Four Resurrection Techniques in the ninja world? How interesting!"

The brat he had just encountered in the Pure Land had brought Madara Uchiha far too many questions.

When Uchiha Gōka formed hand seals and hurriedly left the Pure Land,

Madara Uchiha did not stop him for two reasons.

First, that brat belonged to the Uchiha Clan. He was one of Madara's own clansmen.

Second, the brat knew many things, arousing immense curiosity and interest in Madara Uchiha.

"Oh... right, I forgot to ask that brat's name."

"I wonder when I'll meet that brat again."

Madara Uchiha even found himself looking forward to seeing the brat again.

The next day, at Uchiha Gōka's home.

Uchiha Gōka and Tsunade had expended too much physical and spiritual energy, so they fell asleep directly in the basement.

The two slept until they woke naturally.

By then, the sun was already high in the sky.

Tsunade's cheeks flushed crimson. Even though nothing had happened between them,

they had still slept in the same basement, and Tsunade found herself blushing involuntarily.

Tsunade's delicate brows furrowed slightly as her beautiful eyes flickered, staring blankly at Uchiha Gōka...

Uchiha Gōka sat up from the floor and rubbed his head.

"Ah, I'm exhausted."

Although his body had yet to fully recover,

after Tsunade fed him and he rested through the night,

Uchiha Gōka had recovered more than half of his strength and vigor.

The two supported each other as they left the basement and entered the living room.

"Ah! Right! My Yehuo Snack Shop hasn't opened today yet!"

"You used up too much energy last night. Close for the day."

"This is really troubling! Since Yehuo Snack Shop opened, it has never closed for a single day."

"There's nothing to be done about it. Get your body back in shape first."

Tsunade lived alone and had no one to keep her in check.

That day, Tsunade stayed at Uchiha Gōka's home for the entire day as well.

However, neither of them knew that rumors about the two of them were spreading like wildfire throughout Konoha Village.

Konoha Village, Central Street, outside Yehuo Snack Shop.

After his morning exercise, the first thing the Azure Beast, Might Duy, did was go to Yehuo Snack Shop for breakfast.

"A youthful morning begins with a bowl of Pissing Beef Balls!"

The moment he arrived at the snack shop, he discovered a crowd gathered outside its entrance.

"Huh? Why are so many people packed outside Yehuo Snack Shop?"

"Don't tell me this many people are here to fight me for Pissing Beef Balls today!!!"

Only after slowly approaching did Might Duy hear the crowd's discussion...

Jiraiya: "Where did Karmic Fire run off to?"

Uchiha Setsuna: "What the hell is Karmic Fire doing today?"

Hatake Sakumo: "This is rather unusual."

Yūhi Shinku: "Yehuo Snack Shop has never closed for a day since it opened."

Mitarashi Zixiao: "I was waiting to eat Pissing Beef Balls!"

Senju Chengshui: "If he was going to close, he could've told us in advance. We waited here for nothing."

Just as everyone was discussing why Uchiha Gōka had closed for the day,

a figure slowly approached.

The newcomer was none other than Orochimaru.

"So many people have gathered outside the snack shop."

"Looks like Yehuo Snack Shop is really popular in the village."

"I think you're all waiting for nothing."

"Uchiha Gōka won't be coming to the snack shop today."

Jiraiya looked somewhat puzzled. "Orochimaru, how do you know Uchiha Gōka won't come to the snack shop?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and chuckled. "Tsunade stayed at Uchiha Gōka's home all night last night."

"And I heard that Tsunade still hasn't left Uchiha Gōka's home today."

Jiraiya had a crush on Tsunade, and Orochimaru's words immediately made him indignant. "You're talking nonsense, Orochimaru!"

Hatake Sakumo: "Tsunade stayed with Uchiha Gōka all night???"

Yūhi Shinku: "Could the two of them be in a relationship?"

Orochimaru hissed with laughter. "A relationship? I'm afraid their relationship may have gone beyond that of an ordinary couple!"

The Azure Beast, Might Duy: "Orochimaru's analysis makes a lot of sense!"

Asuma's older brother, Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "No wonder Karmic Fire didn't open today... So he has something more important than business—going on a date with Tsunade."

Uchiha Setsuna: "Hmph! Karmic Fire really is neglecting his proper duties!"

"The Uchiha clan head election is about to begin, yet he still has the mood to fool around with romance!"

In Uchiha Setsuna's eyes, Uchiha Gōka was his ally, because neither of them wanted Uchiha Fugaku to be elected clan head.

Listening to everyone's gossip and speculation, Tsunade's cousin, Senju Chengshui, darkened his expression. "Orochimaru, how did you find out that Tsunade and Karmic Fire spent the night together?"

Orochimaru hissed with laughter. "Do I even need to find out?"

"Tsunade went to the Uchiha residential district and spent the night with Karmic Fire."

"Many members of the Uchiha Clan saw it with their own eyes."

"Besides... this matter has already spread throughout the entire Uchiha Clan."

Hearing Orochimaru's words, Senju Chengshui, who had still been somewhat calm, immediately grew anxious.

He only had this one cousin. He could not let her be casually taken advantage of.

Besides, in Senju Chengshui's eyes, Uchiha Gōka was merely a commoner, completely unworthy of his cousin—Tsunade!
