Reviving Dan Katō

Natsuki arrived at Orochimaru's secret room.

Orochimaru had already prepared Dan Katō's remains and the sacrifice needed for his resurrection.

Everything else relied on the collagen in her youthful face.

This time, after washing her face clean, even her eye makeup was gone.

After changing clothes and tying her hair back into a ponytail, she looked exactly as she had twenty-eight years ago.

Natsuki sized Tsunade up. She was still
