"Minato, who wanted to see me?" Tsunade asked casually as she pushed open the office door.
Hashirama and Tobirama whipped their heads toward the doorway, where Tsunade stood, now a mature, alluring woman. "Little Tsunade, look how much you've grown!"
"Grandpa Hashirama! Grandpa Tobirama!" Tsunade froze for a moment, crying out in disbelief.
Hashirama and Tobirama smiled and nodded.
"What... how did this happen?" Tsunade asked, both moved and bewildered.
"Haha, someone summoned us back using your second grandfather's Impure World Reincarnation," Hashirama replied with a laugh, habitually rubbing the back of his head.
"Have you been doing well all these years, little Tsunade?" Tobirama asked with concern.
"Well enough, except the Holy Church sticks its nose into everything. They won't even let people run gambling games," Tsunade said indignantly. Did they have any idea how she had been getting through these days? She dragged Jiraiya into gambling with her every day, and she was sick of it.
"Haha, that really does sound miserable!" Hashirama laughed without a care.
"Grandpa Hashirama, you're actually laughing! Without gambling, I'm starting to feel like this whole world is pointless," Tsunade said dejectedly.
"Even a Ninja as powerful as you doesn't dare defy the Holy Church's laws," Tobirama murmured.
"It's not that I don't dare. I don't want to. What the Holy Church is doing is right," Tsunade said quietly.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Tobirama asked, puzzled by her sudden seriousness.
"Casinos are far too dark. The dealings inside them are appalling. The Holy Church exposed the tragedies hidden beneath gambling, how so many people were driven to ruin and their families destroyed. It was almost unbearable to look at," Tsunade said with a trace of sorrow. That was why, despite how miserable she felt, she had never gone to those hidden casinos
