"Forget about helping for now! Right now! Right here! I! Am very curious about you!!!"
Tsunade tossed Chinatsu's words straight out the window. Rather than "helping," she chose to satisfy her own curiosity first.
Wood Release was the Kekkei Genkai of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, not of the Senju Clan. It was unique to him. Even Tsunade, his granddaughter, had failed to inherit it. In fact, her ultimate trump card was merely one of her grandfather's passive abilities...
Tsunade was intensely curious!
Why would her grandfather's Kekkei Genkai appear in someone else? If it was inherited, could the girl before her be descended from an illegitimate child of his? If it wasn't inherited, then how on earth had it appeared in someone completely unrelated?
There were far too many questions. They ignited a blazing determination in Tsunade, whose usual thoughts revolved around gambling, gambling, and more gambling. Feeling her burning gaze, Chinatsu got the impression that Tsunade wasn't even looking at her as a "person."
Tsunade grabbed one of Chinatsu's hands and launched into a "hundred-meter sprint," dragging her to her temporary lodgings, where another woman was staying.
"Hm? Lady Tsunade, who is this girl?"
"Shizune! You will never imagine what I just saw!"
Tsunade was as excited as a child. Shizune stared in astonishment and blurted out, "Lady Tsunade, did you actually win some money?"

It was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over Tsunade's enthusiasm, but one glance back at Chinatsu immediately rekindled it.
"Who exactly are you? Why can you use Grandpa's Wood Release? Are you a ninja from Konoha? How old are you?"
All sorts of questions spilled from Tsunade's mouth, leaving Chinatsu a little dazed. Was Tsunade this outgoing in the original story? Well, perhaps Chinatsu had simply underestimated
