Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

But strangely, even with her eyes closed, that familiar voice came from beside her again:

"What’s wrong with you?

Why are your eyes closed again?

Is there anything that's bothering you?

"How about I go and call the doctor for you?"

Hearing that gentle voice, Tsunade could only helplessly open her eyes again.

She stared blankly at the white cat in front of her for a few moments, then secretly pinched the flesh on her arm hard under the covers.

A sharp, unmistakable pain shot through her arm, confirming that she was not dreaming.

Realizing this, she ignored the soreness all over her body and immediately sat up, supporting herself on the bed with both hands.

She stared in astonishment at the white cat before her, and said in an incredulous tone:

"Who...who are you?"

Could it be...

Are you Kagura?

Under Tsunade's astonished gaze, she clearly saw the white cat show a helpless expression, and then slowly nod.

Although she already had a guess in her heart, Tsunade still felt a little unreal after seeing the white cat admit it.

Just then, her room door suddenly opened, and a familiar figure walked in.

As the figure drew closer, Tsunade finally recognized it as Sarutobi-sensei.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback when he saw Tsunade sitting on the hospital bed, but before he could even smile, he saw a scene of confrontation between a person and a cat.

Without asking any further questions, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly and understood what was going on.

To be honest, it took him quite a while to convince himself when he saw the white cat standing in front of him calling him "old man."

He slowly walked to Tsunade's side and gently picked up the white cat, placing it beside the bed.

He then sat down and began to explain to Tsunade on Kagura's behalf.

Then, under Tsunade's incredulous gaze, she gradually understood the whole story.

At the end of the battle in the valley, Madara Uchiha's final attack, the Five Elements Seal, was originally intended to hit Kagura.

But he didn't expect that in the end, the two-tailed beast would take the brunt of it.

Kagura's relationship with the tailed beast within her is somewhat different from that of ordinary jinchūriki.

Compared to other Jinchuriki who used seals to forcibly pull the Tailed Beasts into their bodies, Kagura and the Tailed Beast within her have a more symbiotic relationship.

It was precisely because of this that, under the influence of the Five Elements Seal, Kagura and the Two-Tails' bodies were switched.

At this moment, he was no different from before, and the power of the tailed beast within him was not hindered by the Five Elements Seal.

The problem is that his physical body was sealed inside the Two-Tails, and he can only appear in the form of the Two-Tails.

This was undoubtedly the first time Hiruzen Sarutobi had encountered such a situation.

Fortunately, as the "Ninja World Doctor," Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly found the cause after examining Kagura.

All of this stems from that Five Elements Seal. If it is broken, Kagura will likely be able to regain her original body.

But the problem now is...

That Five Elements seal cannot be broken...

Chapter 72 Then I'll leave it to you.

In reality, the Five Elements Seal is not a particularly significant sealing technique.

In terms of ninjutsu ranking, this is only an A-rank ninjutsu.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself could use it easily, so he naturally understood its principles.

But after trying, he found that he couldn't solve it.

On the one hand, it is naturally because the practitioner himself is extraordinary.

After all, even a B-rank Water Release technique, when used by an ordinary genin, will have vastly different effects than when used by Tobirama Senju.

The sealing technique performed by someone like Madara Uchiha is naturally not so easy to break.

On the other hand, it's because this is not an ordinary Five Elements seal.

The so-called Five Elements Seal involves concentrating chakra in the five fingers and using the five attributes of lightning, wind, water, fire, and earth to seal away demons.

Although it is difficult to crack, it can still be cracked by using the Five Elements of the same system, category, learning difficulty, and range of effect.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, who possesses all five elements and is extremely knowledgeable, this was not a difficult task.

The problem is that Madara Uchiha, who already possessed the Rinnegan, also had the Yin-Yang Release attribute mixed in with it.

This is not something that Hiruzen Sarutobi can easily solve.

"So, Kagura's current state is due to Madara Uchiha's seal?"

"So, Sarutobi-sensei, can you solve this?"

After listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's account, Tsunade gradually accepted Kagura's change.

At this moment, she was holding Kagura, gently stroking his fur, and asking Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Upon hearing Tsunade's question, Hiruzen Sarutobi also looked troubled.

However, as the Hokage, he obviously couldn't show too much weakness at this moment, so he could only reluctantly say:

"Um...it should be possible."

However, it will take some time.

"Yes, just a little while."

In fact, during this week, he almost abandoned all his work as Hokage and devoted himself to studying the Five Elements Seal on Kagura.

Unfortunately, he hasn't made much progress yet.

After dealing with Tsunade's question, he thought of something else and said to Tsunade:

"Well, due to Kagura's special circumstances, we cannot announce it in the village for the time being."

So, to the outside world, I announced to the villagers that he was on a new mission outside.

For safety reasons, I originally wanted to take care of him myself.

However, now that you're awake, you'll be in charge of looking after Kagura for the time being.

Don't worry, I'll contact you as soon as there's any progress.

After saying that, he got up and left the ward.

As the Hokage, he has put aside much of his work recently because of Kagura's situation.

Now that Tsunade is awake, we can safely entrust Kagura to her.

As for that Five Elements Seal...

Hmph, he didn't believe that all the old fogies in the village working together couldn't solve this problem.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Tsunade gently lifted the Kagura in her arms and held it in front of her.

Looking at the fluffy, adorable creature in front of her, a strange light shone in her eyes.

"So, you really are Kagura?"

Hearing this, Kagura could only nod helplessly again.

For some reason, after seeing Kagura confirm it again, Tsunade suddenly laughed happily and hugged Kagura tightly.

At this moment, Kagura, being a white cat, was completely unable to resist Tsunade's actions.

He was embraced and felt as if he were buried in two huge mounds of flesh.

The thick yet soft touch made him breathless, yet he also felt an irresistible pleasure.

As a medical ninja, now that he has woken up, his recovery speed is naturally unmatched by other ninjas.

In just three days, she was able to remove the bandages from her body and meet the criteria for discharge.

Compared to her, Jiraiya and Orochimaru obviously didn't recover as quickly.

In that battle in the valley, Jiraiya was forced to endure Hozuki Gengetsu's Water Gun Technique.

His gruesome wound, which almost pierced through his chest, also came from this.

If it weren't for Tsunade's slug helping him control his injuries in time, he probably would have died on the spot and would never have been able to return to the village.

Fortunately, thanks to his cockroach-like resilience, he eventually pulled through.

As for Orochimaru, although on the surface he did not seem to have suffered much damage.

But in reality, he was probably the one who was most seriously injured out of the three.

It's important to know that he only lost consciousness because he was subjected to the genjutsu of Madara Uchiha's eyes.

As for the Rinnegan, which is even more advanced than the Mangekyou Sharingan, only Orochimaru himself probably knows just how terrifying the genjutsu it creates is.

Therefore, Orochimaru was the last of the three to wake up.

Today is the day Tsunade is discharged from the hospital.

Before leaving, she took Kagura to visit Jiraiya and Orochimaru in their hospital rooms.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who had already regained consciousness, would obviously need to rest in the hospital for a while before they could be discharged.

Through Tsunade's explanation, they naturally learned that Kagura had turned into a white cat.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi said that this matter should be kept secret from the villagers, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were naturally not among those who needed to be kept in the dark.

As Kagura's closest companion, Tsunade told them the truth without any hesitation.

At this moment, Jiraiya's entire body was wrapped in bandages.

Tsunade, however, was different. Due to the severity of her injuries, Kagura saw that she looked no different from a mummy.
