Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

"I know, I know perfectly well... I really want to hug them again, but this thought just keeps popping into my head."

"I knew that I was truly hopeless."

"It's that brat. He reminds me of their pursuit. You once said that all tangible things will eventually wither away..."

Tsunade's voice trembled slightly as she recalled Naruto and the other two's shared dream: "But there are still some things in this world that never fade..."

"Today, I will deal with you two scoundrels..."

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, a dark figure suddenly appeared next to Orochimaru.

"Tsunade, it's been a long time."

Orochimaru was somewhat relieved when he saw Koki come to his side.

Upon hearing Koki's words, Orochimaru couldn't help but shudder, thinking to himself, "It's over!"

He couldn't understand why Koki knew Tsunade, but judging from Tsunade's expression, it was clearly not a good thing.

"Who are you?" Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong killing intent erupted from her body. She had already decided to kill those two scoundrels who insulted the dead right here.

"Me?" Gu Mu smiled slightly, then slowly lowered the black robe on his head, revealing a face that resembled that of the Second Hokage in his youth. "I am your Uncle Gu Mu, your niece."

"What!!"

Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise, his eyes darting back and forth between Koki and Tsunade, his face filled with disbelief.

At this moment, he finally understood why he always felt a strange sense of familiarity with the ancient tree; so that's why...

This face is exactly the same as the Second Hokage on the Hokage Rock, almost as if they were made from the same mold.

"Uncle Gu Mu...?"

Tsunade paused, her face showing confusion and bewilderment, as if she couldn't understand the scene before her.

"How could this happen? What exactly is going on?"

Tsunade muttered to herself, trying to find a clue in her chaotic thoughts.

However, as she carefully observed the ancient tree, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

She keenly sensed a strange yet familiar aura emanating from him, as if it concealed some mysterious power.

"Could it be that……"

She suddenly thought of a possibility, but then shook her head, unable to believe her own guess.

But her gaze sharpened instantly. "You're a reanimated being?!"

"You guessed right, but unfortunately there's no reward."

Gu Mu spread his hands, revealing a faint smile. His tone was relaxed and at ease, as if he were already used to this situation.

“Take my advice, if you don’t want to suffer, heal Orochimaru’s hand,” Koki continued, his gaze fixed on Tsunade, revealing an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing the attitude expressed by the old tree beside him, Orochimaru, who had been on edge, instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Koki didn't betray his teammates like Tsunade did.

"Why are you helping Orochimaru? Don't you know he's the culprit who killed the Third Hokage and destroyed Konoha?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, truly baffled as to why Koki, a member of the Senju clan, would do such a thing.

This is completely different from her brother and Kato Dan, who are both willing to give their lives for the village.

"So, are you questioning me?"

Gu Mu wore an amused smile.

"Am I not even allowed to question what you've done?!"

Tsunade's face showed a hint of anger, especially when she saw Koki's seemingly indifferent expression, which fueled her anger.

Perhaps it was because the contrast between Gu Mu and her younger brother Sheng Shu was too great that she couldn't help but feel angry.

"Haha, what a fine question."

"If I told you that I personally killed the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, how would you react?"

Gu Mu crossed his arms, his tone devoid of any emotion.

"What!!"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru next to Koki with a questioning gaze.

"Indeed~ If it weren't for Gu Mu-kun's help, my hands might have been completely sealed by that old guy."

Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips; he was happy to see Tsunade so furious.

"Ancient Tree!! Your very existence is an insult to the Senju clan!!"

Tsunade's face was filled with rage. She really didn't expect that Koki would not only fail to stop Orochimaru from acting recklessly, but would instead help him.

"what?"

Koki was amused by Tsunade's words. This guy was so brainwashed by Naruto's protagonist aura that he gave up on the two people he cherished who were trying to revive him.

Now they're the ones criticizing themselves.

In the blink of an eye, Koki appeared in front of Tsunade.

The terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from her entire body caused Tsunade's expression to tremble instantly.

"Shhh!!"

He brutally grabbed Tsunade's head and easily lifted her up.

"Tsunade, you know nothing, yet you still try to lecture me from your superior position."

Whether or not I can replace the Senju clan is not up to you.

"You should think about it carefully. Look at what those guys have done to our clan and the Uchiha clan!"

Today, only a few members of the Uchiha clan remain, and the Senju clan is in an even worse state.

Apart from Tsunade, it is almost impossible to find any other members of the clan.

"You...you let go of me...you scum of Konoha, you're not worthy to lecture me..."

Tsunade was deeply shocked by the terrifying power of the ancient tree, but even so, she still showed an attitude of not being afraid of power.

Gu Mu knew that this guy was probably beyond saving.

The so-called Will of Fire had completely burned out her brain.

That's true. They've been brainwashed for decades, and it's estimated that it will be difficult to correct them in a short period of time.

"How should I put it? Maybe we should just kill this girl. Judging from her mental state, she probably has some problems."

Koki looked at Orochimaru not far away and began to intimidate Tsunade.

Hearing this again, he was shocked to learn that this so-called uncle was being so ruthless towards him.

Tsunade's expression stiffened. She suddenly realized that her words just now might have gone a bit too far.

She was spoiled by Hashirama Senju from birth, even when she learned that Koki was from the same clan.

A slight sense of superiority will unconsciously arise within you.

"No, bring them back. A living person is better than a dead one."

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised that Koki could easily suppress Tsunade.

If he could use Tsunade's body for experiments, he vowed that he would definitely be able to develop something new.

"All of you, stop right now!!"

Just then, a furious roar came from afar.

Upon learning that Tsunade had met with Orochimaru alone, Jiraiya rushed towards them like a madman.

Upon seeing Tsunade being lifted up with one hand by that familiar, terrifying guy, Jiraiya flew into a rage and unleashed a massive fire-style attack without hesitation.

At the same time, seeing that Koki was distracted, Tsunade immediately gathered her power in her legs.

Her leg muscles bulged, veins popped, as if they were filled with endless power.

Then, she suddenly kicked Gu Mu in the stomach.

"Painful Heavenly Kick!!"

Tsunade roared, her voice echoing through the mountains and forests.

This is a taijutsu technique that Tsunade developed herself. The monstrous strength she possesses allows her to easily create a huge crater in the ground.

Moreover, the speed of this kick was extremely fast, reaching the ancient tree in the blink of an eye.

Gu Mu's eyes narrowed, and he released his grip on Tsunade's head.

"boom!!"

With a kick carrying terrifying power, the ancient tree was struck by a century-old tree next to Gu Mu, snapping it in half at the waist.

The large tree flew backward with a loud thud, sending leaves and branches flying everywhere.
