As Tsunade recounted the battle between the Sannin, she also shot Shihōin Naraku a glare.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I unexpectedly discovered you have a talent for teaching. You've trained Kabuto Yakushi very well. His Medical Ninjutsu was stronger than I expected."
"Hahaha..."
Shihōin Naraku laughed.
Tsunade must have suffered at Kabuto Yakushi's hands. After all, the current Kabuto Yakushi was far stronger than his counterpart in the original story.

Hands on his hips...
In fact, Tsunade had not merely suffered a setback. She had nearly died at Kabuto Yakushi's hands.
Without Naruto Uzumaki's help, Tsunade would never have lasted long enough to fight Orochimaru at the end.

"I didn't actually treat Orochimaru, but I could tell there was something seriously wrong with that hand."
Shihōin Naraku raised an eyebrow. Orochimaru's hand should have been the result of Kurikara's soul-severing ability. This was different from the Reaper Death Seal: one sealed, while the other severed outright.

He rested his right hand at his waist, and Kurikara appeared. With a clang, he drew the straight-bladed sword and held it before Tsunade. "Here, this sword did it. I cut off Orochimaru's right arm with Kurikara, so his soul developed a problem."
Tsunade glanced curiously at the pitch-black Kurikara but did not
