As night falls, the streets of Konoha are filled with lights.
The breeze blows through the street, carrying the faint scent of charcoal and the mellow smell of Sake.
The future Tsunade took his young self and Shinichi directly to Izakaya, a restaurant with a sense of the times. He opened the door and walked into the innermost private room.
The decoration style of this private room is very elegant, with portraits of Hokage of Konoha hanging on the walls, and soft lights falling on the wooden table, making the entire space appear warm and somewhat nostalgic.
The future Tsunade sat down unceremoniously and raised his hand to greet the clerk. Soon, a large table of dishes was brought out, accompanied by several bottles of fine Sake. The aroma was overflowing, and just looking at it made people appetite.
Shinichi chuckled lightly, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass, and glanced at the two "Tsunade" sitting opposite.
One is the mature and steady future Tsunade, with a playful smile hanging on the corner of his mouth; the other is the young and energetic Tsunade, sitting aside with his arms folded. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of vigilance and expectation.
Obviously, future Tsunade is very interested in Shinichi's story, but little Tsunade's thoughts seem to be more complicated.
She looked at Shinichi with a different kind of emotion in her eyes.
Future Tsunade took in all this, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, picked up the wine glass and shook it slightly, his amber pupils showing a bit of nostalgia and teasing.
"Did you know? When I was young, my first love was Dan Katō."
Her tone was calm, with a hint of playfulness, and she looked at little Tsunade.
When little Tsunade heard this, he was slightly startled, then frowned, his face a little unnatural.
"Dan Katō? It seems that you have indeed pursued me."
Tsunade frowned slightly, recalling that long-dusted past, with a hint of mixed emotions in his tone.
She then raised her eyes and looked at her future self, with a bit of impatience in her eyes and a slightly harsh tone:
"Why are you bringing this up?"
There was a hint of embarrassment in her tone, as if someone had uncovered an old incident that she didn't want to discuss too much.
Future Tsunade took a sip of Sake, glanced thoughtfully between little Tsunade and Shinichi, and raised an intriguing smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I just suddenly felt interesting." She said softly, with a cunning light flashing in her amber pupils.
Shinichi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at little Tsunade. Seeing that her face was slightly red and her eyes were a little dodgeful, the corners of her mouth could not help but raise slightly, revealing a smile.
"Oh? Little Tsunade, you won't really treat me..." He deliberately prolonged his voice with playful eyes.
"Shut up!" Tsunade glared at him, the blush on his face deepened, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, as if he wanted to hide something.
Future Tsunade looked at her reaction, chuckled, shook his head, and said slowly:
"It's great to be young..."
There was a trace of complicated emotions in her tone, as if she was recalling the past, and she seemed to be lamenting something that could no longer be changed.
Shinichi gently put down the wine glass, looked deeply at the future Tsunade, and spoke slowly:
"So, Lord Hokage, what story do you want to hear from me?"
Future Tsunade smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and touched the table gently, his voice was low and meaningful:
"Tell me the story of 'Uchiha Shinichi'."
The air seemed to become quiet at this moment.
The future Tsunade sat quietly with the wine glass in hand, his amber pupils flickering slightly, and his expression a bit playful, while the young Tsunade had his arms folded, his expression seemed a little resistant, but he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully.
Shinichi, on the other hand, was sitting between the two of them, leisurely enjoying this moment of self-praising.
"So, this story begins with me single-handedly entering Enemy Camp and saving old man Tobirama..."
He smiled slightly, poured himself a glass of Sake, shook the wine in the glass gently, and then spoke slowly, with a somewhat casual pride in his tone.
"You may not know that in a certain battle, Tobirama was careless and was surrounded by enemy troops. The battlefield at that time was besieged on all sides. Konoha's troops were forced to retreat, but Tobirama was trapped in Enemy Camp."
Shinichi raised his head slightly and looked at the two Tsunade, with a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"If it were an ordinary person, I would probably give up. After all, going deep into Enemy Camp to save people would be asking for death."
He smiled softly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and continued in a relaxed tone:
"But, who am I?"
"I'm not an ordinary person."
"So, I single-handedly sneaked into Enemy Camp quietly, bypassing the patrols of hundreds of elite ninjas, and found Tobirama who was dying at that time."
He paused, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly with a hint of pride. "Then what? Of course I escaped with him intact."
"The enemy at the time didn't even understand what happened. By the time they realized it, Tobirama Senju had disappeared."
Future Tsunade raised his eyebrows slightly, shook the wine glass slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Oh? It sounds quite legendary."
Little Tsunade opened his eyes slightly and twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just took a sip of wine and snorted coldly, "Humph, how could you save that guy, Second Grandpa? How embarrassing."
Shinichi laughed, with a bit of joking in his eyes. "Yes, so he has been unwilling to admit it, and he didn't even say 'thank you'. He is really heartless."
"However, rather than rescuing Tobirama, rescuing a certain princess is more interesting."
Shinichi glanced at little Tsunade lightly, with a subtle smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Huh?" Tsunade frowned slightly and looked at him unhappily, "What do you want to say again?"
"It's nothing, I just remembered that when you were besieged, I rushed thousands of miles to come to your aid, regardless of my own safety, and used an extremely gorgeous appearance to rescue you from the hands of those soldiers."
Shinichi said with a smile, a bit of teasing in his eyes.
"Do you still remember? You were trapped in Enemy Formation at that time. You were covered in scars, your breath was weak, and you were about to be captured alive."
"In the end, I just fell from the sky, fought against hundreds of ninjas by myself, and snatched you back from those guys."
Little Tsunade's face changed slightly. Although she didn't want to admit it, this incident did happen.
She was still young at the time and had far less battlefield experience than she does now. As a result, she was ambushed by the enemy during a mission, was trapped in Wilderness, and fell into a desperate situation.
Then, Shinichi did what he said - he fought against the enemy alone and rescued her.
"... It sounds like you are so great." Tsunade turned his head, his tone a little awkward.
Shinichi smiled softly, with a bit of narrowness in his eyes. "Otherwise? Do you think I will ignore you until death?"
Tsunade snorted, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but his ears were slightly red.
"Of course, the most classic one is the trip to Land of Demons."
Shinichi smiled softly, picked up the wine glass, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
"That time, Moryo was resurrected, and even the "resurrected" Madara Uchiha tried to use the power of the monster Moryo to control the entire Shinobi World."
"Shinobi World was in chaos at that time. Many people were thinking about how to stop this force, but what about me?"
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he said calmly:
"I chose the simplest method - just beat him up."
Future Tsunade narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of interest flashed in his amber pupils. "Oh? That sounds good, continue."
Shinichi smiled lightly and continued, "At that time, Moryo had already summoned his army, preparing to destroy Land of Demons in one fell swoop. And what about me?"
"It's very simple. I directly started the fight between Sage Mode and Moryo. A big fight made him dizzy!"
He paused, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a relaxed tone, "What was the result? He found that he couldn't absorb my Chakra at all, so he combined Madara Uchiha with the actual power device·Moryo to deal with me, but he was still killed by me with one blow."
"Tsk, tsk, how pitiful." Shinichi shrugged, "That guy probably couldn't figure out why he would die so quickly."
The future Tsunade smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He looked at Shinichi with complex eyes and whispered, "You are really an out-and-out monster."
Shinichi shrugged and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether it's a monster or not. The key is that I survived, right?"
Future Tsunade smiled softly, the wine glass in her hand swayed slightly, the amber liquid rippled in the glass, reflecting her amber pupils, which were as deep as lakes, hiding complex and far-reaching thoughts.
Her expression remained calm, and there was even a hint of a faint smile on her lips, but there was a turmoil in her heart.
In the story of Shinichi, she captured several crucial information--
Shinichi mentioned lightly that he once beat Madara Uchiha in Land of Demons.
This makes future Tsunade instantly alert!
"Madara Uchiha?!"
If Madara appears in Land of Demons, it means that his grandfather, Hashirama Senju, probably did not really kill Madara Uchiha!
She remembered that the village history books and battlefield records showed that Madara Uchiha had died in the battle of Valley of the End, and it was her grandfather who personally ended that man's life!
However, if what Shinichi said is true... then the facts are completely different--
Madara Uchiha did not die, but went into the dark, secretly planning some big things!
Future Tsunade's heart suddenly sank.
If Madara Uchiha has really been alive... then, what is he planning? Why does he appear in Land of Demons?
And the most incredible thing is - Shinichi can actually defeat Madara Uchiha and Moryo alone?!
And it was killed with one sword!
This means that his combat effectiveness has reached an unimaginable level!
This also means that in the era that Shinichi lives in, the threat of Moryo has been eliminated long ago, and the history of Shinobi World is no longer the same as what she is familiar with.
If Shinichi really comes from their original time and space, then the direction of history has been greatly deviated because of his existence!
And if he comes from another completely different time and space...
Then his existence becomes even more unpredictable.
Future Tsunade slowly put down his wine glass and looked at Shinichi calmly.
If what he said is true... then his fighting power may have surpassed her grandfathers Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha!
You know, Hashirama Senju is known as "God of the Shinobi World" and is one of the most powerful beings in the entire history of Shinobi World. His strength cannot even be competed against by Madara Uchiha.
And Madara Uchiha is the pinnacle of the Uchiha Clan. His Dōjutsu and combat experience are almost unmatched by anyone.
But now...Uchiha Shinichi seems to be standing above them?
Not only can he easily fight against Madara Uchiha, but he can also sweep away monsters in Land of Demons. The most shocking thing is that Tobirama Senju was actually saved by him?!
Future Tsunade slowly narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a blade, and an incredible guess emerged in his mind--
"How strong has this person... become?"
Her breathing stagnated slightly, she tapped the table with her fingers, and looked at Shinichi thoughtfully, trying to discern some clues from his expression.
However, Shinichi just smiled calmly and drank a glass of Sake. His expression remained easy-going, as if he didn't care at all about the "glorious deeds" he just described.
He didn't mean to show off, let alone exaggerate himself. Every word he said seemed to be telling an ordinary past event.
But it is this attitude that makes future Tsunade more certain about one thing -
This man may have really surpassed her grandfather, surpassed Madara Uchiha, and even... has stood on the edge of "god".
