Tsunade and Dan Katō then came before Natsuki.
"Natsuki, thank you."
This Tsunade was not particularly familiar with Natsuki, but the people Natsuki had saved from death were more than just one.
The most important people in her life—Hashirama, Tobirama, Nawaki, and Dan—had all been brought back from the Pure Land by Natsuki.
