From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 460 Tsunade: You call this a genin?
The potion entered his mouth, its slippery and sticky texture making Sasuke want to spit it out.

But the thought of power made her suppress her nausea and tilt her head back to swallow every last drop of the potion in the cup.

In a hazy state, she felt as if she were in a vast ocean, being battered by raging waves, her body breaking apart inch by inch, her consciousness being dragged by hidden eddies, constantly falling into the dark and cold depths.

Sasuke was dazed and confused, not knowing how long the fall had lasted.

Suddenly, she saw a terrifying, invisible shadow in the dark, cold depths of the ocean, surrounded by lightning and emitting a horrifying sound!

The terrifying sound, like thunder, nearly tore her consciousness apart.

Fortunately, the terrifying shadow and sound only lasted for a brief second before disappearing completely.

Immediately afterward, consciousness returned to the body, and the vast ocean vanished before my eyes.

"What just happened?!"

Sasuke was still shaken and intended to ask for clarification.

To her shock, the stall and the old man that had just been in front of her, and even the narrow alley, vanished as if they had never existed.

The noisy sounds from all around reached my ears again.

On the bustling and prosperous Tanabata Street, amidst the throngs of people, Sasuke stood in the crowd, feeling as if his recent experience had been a dream.

But the cup in her hand reminded her that it wasn't a dream, but something that had actually happened.

"Acting Method? The Three Laws of Extraordinary? Sequence?"

Suddenly, Sasuke discovered that some new information had appeared in his mind.

It was as if an idea had been implanted, giving her a deeper understanding of the potion she had just used and the power she had gained.

"Tyrant Path, Sequence 9, Sea Favorite."

Sasuke carefully experienced the new power.

Her balance seemed to have improved, and she inexplicably had many more experiences of maintaining balance at sea in her mind.

Secondly, the phantom scales hidden under her skin provide a certain degree of defense and allow her to move like a nimble fish in the water.

Then there's another amazing ability: she can breathe underwater!

"Naruto, I will definitely catch up with you!"

Sasuke clenched his fists, his face filled with hope.

It wasn't until late at night that Jiraiya returned, drunk.

He exuded a strong fragrance and his face was covered with hickeys, clearly having just returned from a pub.

Sasuke felt quite helpless having such a 'master'.

Fortunately, Jiraiya did manage to gather information that the fat sheep lingering in Tanabata was staying at an inn not far from here and frequently visited the tavern next door.

Moreover, the woman looked to be in her early thirties, with long, light yellow hair and a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead.

Based on the above information, it can be almost confirmed that the person dubbed the "big fat sheep" by the Tanabata Street casino is their target for this trip: Tsunade Senju!

"Phew~ Gathering intelligence almost killed me."

Jiraiya used chakra to dispel the smell of alcohol, then patted his face as if complaining.

"Next time you say something like that, please wipe the lipstick off your face first," Sasuke bluntly exposed Jiraiya.

Still feeling tired?
The wrinkles on her face have doubled, she must be so happy!
"Ahem, this is the hardship of an adult ninja. You're still laughing? You don't understand."

Jiraiya gave a few perfunctory replies and then staggered toward the tavern mentioned in the intelligence report.

"Are you really alright in this state?" Sasuke's eye twitched, seriously doubting whether Jiraiya would act out while drunk. "How about we go tomorrow, after you've sobered up?"

"Little girl, don't underestimate the drinking capacity of the toad sage of Mount Myōboku!"

Jiraiya thumped his chest and shouted, "Even if it's twice as much, I'm not afraid! The so-called Toad Sage, I can drink a whole river of sake in one gulp!"

"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!"

Sasuke offered insincere flattery and followed in Jiraiya's footsteps.

Before long, the two arrived at the izakaya. Jiraiya lifted the curtain and went inside, with Sasuke following closely behind.

A beautiful woman with a light yellow hair tie, who looked to be around thirty years old, with a full figure and an extraordinary demeanor, sat in a deserted corner, drinking one glass of wine after another in silence. She seemed to be in a bad mood, while a very young girl across from her kept trying to comfort her.

"Hey beautiful, can I have a drink?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted, causing Tsunade, who was already in a bad mood, to angrily retort, "If you don't want to fly out later, then get out of my way."

However, when the person sat down opposite her and snatched the wine glass from her hand, Tsunade realized it was Jiraiya.

"Long time no see, Tsunade."

Jiraiya finished his drink, looked at the familiar face before him, and smiled, "So many years have passed, but you are still as beautiful as ever."

"Enough with the nonsense, I don't have time to reminisce with you."

Tsunade coldly snatched the wine glass, glanced at it with disdain, and then tossed it aside: "Speak, what brings you here?"

"Can't you come see an old friend if there's nothing wrong?" Jiraiya asked with a smile. "You've seen me, you can get lost now."

Tsunade snorted, still not giving Jiraiya a friendly look.

"Ahem, okay, there's something I need to do."

Jiraiya hadn't expected Tsunade to be so cold-hearted, and all the words he had prepared were swallowed back.

"Is it a matter concerning three generations of old men?"

Tsunade remained expressionless and poured herself another glass of wine: "If it's about going back to be Hokage, I can tell you clearly that I refuse."

"Actually, this matter is very complicated, much more complicated than you think." Jiraiya touched his nose and said awkwardly, "How about we talk about it alone?"

"What do you mean?"

Tsunade frowned, sensing something unusual in Jiraiya's words.

"Let's talk alone."

Jiraiya sighed, looked at the person sitting next to Tsunade, and then his gaze fell on Sasuke: "You go out for a moment, Sasuke."

"Jingyin is my disciple."

Tsunade remained unmoved.

"Sasuke is also my disciple."

Jiraiya said in a slightly somber tone, "No one but you can know about this!"

Seeing her former teammate's insistence, Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then turned to Shizune and said, "Take Tonton and go out for a bit."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Shizune obediently picked up the pink pig and walked out of the izakaya.

"You must be Jiraiya's disciple?" She looked at the obviously young Sasuke and smiled. "Hello, my name is Shizune. I've been traveling with Tsunade since I was very young."

"Hello, my name is Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke was also very polite, bowing slightly: "I haven't been following Jiraiya-sama for long. Are you Tsunade's only disciple?"

"The only one? No, I'm not."

Jingyin smiled slightly and said, "I have a senior sister who is much more capable than me."

"Isn't she with you guys?" Sasuke asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, Senior Sister left a long time ago." Jingyin shook her head and said, "I'm not really sure where Senior Sister went. It seems like she went to look for someone."

Just as the two were chatting, they heard a loud bang from inside the izakaya.

Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya flew out like a cannonball, smashing through the wall of the izakaya and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Wait, wait, Tsunade!" Jiraiya cried out in terror, clutching his bleeding nose. "This has nothing to do with me! By the time I found out, it had already happened!"

"I'll explain in my next life!"

Tsunade leaped out, her fist, brimming with chakra, smashing directly into Jiraiya's face.

"Master!"

Just then, for some reason, Sasuke felt as if his blood was on fire, and a continuous stream of power surged forth.

She actually stepped right past Shizune and stood in front of the enraged Tsunade!

"Don't!"

Jiraiya raised his hand to stop him, but he was a step too late.

Sasuke's seemingly slender and frail body suddenly erupted with astonishing power. With one step, the entire street seemed to tremble. Her skin was coated with a bronze color, like hard steel. Her five fingers suddenly clenched together, and the air emitted a terrifying sonic boom.

Boom! ! !

Their fists clashed, like a thunderclap sweeping across the long street.

Visible waves of air surged and rolled, transforming into fierce winds that plowed furrows into the ground, the deafening sound tearing through the night.

The ground around Sasuke collapsed and sank with a roar, and Tsunade was actually blasted away, landing in an izakaya.

Jiraiya stared at Sasuke with his mouth agape, as if he had just met her.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune looked panicked and was about to go in to check when she saw Tsunade come out.

"Little girl, are you really a genin?"

Although she didn't appear to be injured, at most a little disheveled, Tsunade still found it unbelievable.

You have to understand that over the years, the number of people who can suppress her in terms of strength can be counted on one hand. Although she didn't go all out just now, it was only to teach Jiraiya a lesson, but it was definitely not something a genin could stop.
