Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 131 Pretending and Pretending

As Tsunade was lost in thought, a warm sensation suddenly spread through her chest.

My gaze shifted downwards, and what I saw in my eyes was someone's claws.

"..."

Tsunade felt dizzy, feverish, and her thinking ability was impaired.

It was probably because it was the first time a boy had touched her body.

Thump thump...

My heart is pounding so hard it feels like it's going to jump out of my chest...

"Shall we continue...?"

Aokiji stared directly into Tsunade's darting eyes and said with a wicked grin, "I heard that this helps with blood circulation in that area, thus promoting development~~"

"H-How could this be..." Tsunade's voice trembled as she tried to explain.

"It's okay not to hold back your noise..."

The persuasive voice was like a devil tempting Faust.

"It would be embarrassing for you to hear me... No way, I'd die if you heard that."

Tsunade desperately suppressed her voice, making it barely audible.

"Everything will be alright..."

Aokiji's hand, resting on the greenhouse, hadn't yet become clumsy.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, stopping the adulterous couple.

"Stop! You can't continue!"

The larger Tsunade was so flustered that she almost fell over when she pushed the door open.

Aokiji: ? ? ?

Tsunade: ? ? ?

The two were startled and quickly separated.

The larger version of Tsunade was covered in sweat and panting heavily, as if she had just finished running a marathon.

Still flushed, Tsunade, regaining her senses, called out her name in a daze, then said, "Why are you back?"

Rangiku is the name that the larger Tsunade deliberately revealed to the smaller Tsunade to conceal her identity.

This is nothing serious.

The key question is, what did she just see?

After reading the large version of Tsunade's book, her head was buzzing, as if she had been hit with a stick.

The scene unfolding before her eyes was something that probably only she could encounter in the entire world.

The larger Tsunade swallowed hard, stammered, and replied, avoiding the main point and changing the subject: "This kind of thing is too early for the two of you."

Caught in the act of adultery, the two looked embarrassed.

"You two are still young. Don't let romantic feelings ruin your cultivation," the larger Tsunade coughed twice, earnestly advising her.

That makes sense...

However, you've gone a bit too far.

Aokiji gave her a strange look.

Noticing the strange looks they were getting, the larger Tsunade explained, "I'm giving you this advice as someone who's been there. Relationships are a murky business, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Shizune, standing to the side, cast a strange glance at her. "Lady Tsunade, you're still single, aren't you?"

Aokiji sized up the blonde, brown-eyed beauty. He had just heard Tsunade say that he was the one who saved him.

Therefore, it can be inferred that her medical skills are quite good, at least much better than Tsunade's at this stage.

His mind raced, recalling a beautiful woman with exceptional medical ninjutsu skills.

The scope of investigation for beautiful, powerful female ninjas with medical ninjutsu is very small.

Even so, Aokiji had never heard of a female medical ninja called Rangiku.

Could it be a character who didn't appear in the original work?

As Aokiji was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that there was another woman standing next to the blonde beauty. She was wearing a black kimono, had short black hair, and wore a fishnet overlay. She was also holding a pink... pig?

The little pink pig nudged its nose: ^(*￣(oo)￣)^

Seemingly lost in thought, Aokiji stared blankly into space.

Shizune misunderstood him and made a point of explaining, "Let me make it clear beforehand, this isn't food. It's a ninja pig."

Ninja Pig?

Aokiji seemed to be deep in thought, and asked her name.

"My name is Shizune, and I am..." Shizune paused, "...a disciple of Lady Rangiku."

Mute?

The name plus "pig" evoked a certain association, and Aokiji's gaze shifted between Tsunade and Rangiku before he immediately understood.

The same golden hair, a diamond-shaped floral decoration on the forehead, and that signature oversized...

What the hell is this Ranju?

Isn't this just a larger version of Tsunade?

Aokiji was now 200% certain that the person in front of him was indeed Tsunade.

and many more……

Why is the future Tsunade here, and why is she deliberately hiding her name?

Aokiji thought of the dragon vein of Loulan. Could it be that he had traveled through time?

That's not right. If it was time travel, why isn't he in Loulan?

In his memory, if he had really traveled through time, he should still be in Loulan, so how could he have traveled to a strange place?

Completely baffled, Aokiji looked perplexed and asked, "Tsunade, where are we now?"

Hearing him say that, Tsunade also became a little curious.

When Aokiji was unconscious, I was too worried to ask him anything. Now that Aokiji has woken up, it's time to confirm his location.

With these questions in mind, she asked her future self.

The larger Tsunade was in a dilemma. If she told her past self, it might change history, and her very existence might disappear.

After much deliberation, she told them their location: "This is Tanabata Street in the Land of Fire."

It wasn't that she didn't want to hide it, but that she couldn't.

It would be better to tell them directly, which would make it easier to take the initiative later.

Tsunade thought she had misheard: "This is Tanabata Street?"

It wasn't that she hadn't been to Tanabata Street before, but rather that Tanabata Street had changed far too much: "What era is this now?"

She suspected she might have traveled through time; otherwise, how could she explain such drastic changes?

The larger version of Tsunade hesitated for a moment: "Konoha Year 63."

Tsunade's eyes were wide open.

The larger Tsunade asked knowingly, "Why are you two asking such strange questions?"

Tsunade remained silent, unsure how to answer. If she told the truth, people would probably think she was crazy.

At the same time, she couldn't help but be curious about the future, considering whether she should go to Konoha to find out what her future self would be like, and also to find out if Jiraiya and Orochimaru had been cured.

This is a thought that any normal person would have.

The larger version of Tsunade suddenly asked, "Tsunade, you said before that you two are both Konoha ninja, so why have I never seen you before?"

Tsunade looked surprised: "Rangiku-neechan, are you also a Konoha ninja?"

"Yes."

The larger version of Tsunade's gaze suddenly turned cold: "Who exactly are you two?!"

Tsunade was startled by her imposing aura, shrank back, and weakly murmured the other's name: "Rangiku-neechan..."

"Don't call me that."

"Larger Tsunade interrupted."

Tsunade fell silent.

The larger version of Tsunade said coldly, "Tsunade, when we first met, you called yourself by this name, right?"

Tsunade nodded in confirmation.

"Konoha is such a big place. Among the ninjas from Konoha, there might be some I don't recognize, but I can be 100% certain that the name you just mentioned is the only one in the entire village who has that name."

Tsunade stared blankly, "That person..."

"That's right, that's the granddaughter of the First Hokage!"

Tsunade:……

How could she forget that? Her name is quite famous in the village.

"Tell me who you two are!" Tsunade coldly demanded, her aura so powerful that Aokiji and Tsunade could hardly breathe.

Aokiji had just woken up and was still quite weak. He glanced at Tsunade and thought to himself that she was quite convincing. He sighed helplessly, "You might not believe it, but we actually came from the past."

really……

Tsunade remained expressionless and solemn, waving her hand dismissively: "Speechless. You two brats, if you're going to lie, at least come up with a plausible reason."

Aokiji stole a glance, continuing his act...

If I didn't know you were Tsunade, I almost would have believed it.

Aokiji, unaware of what the other party was thinking, recounted the whole story to the older Tsunade, even including how Orochimaru and Jiraiya had become crippled due to severe hand injuries.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were seriously injured in the past?

Tsunade was startled, but her expression remained unchanged, still showing disbelief: "Seeing is believing. What proof do you have?"

Aokiji sighed, "If Tsunade from this era were still alive, her two greatest strengths would be medical ninjutsu and superhuman strength."

Tsunade felt like she was being cursed, and pouted, her plump lips saying, "Hey, is that how you talk about me?"

"I'm just giving an example."

"Yes." The larger Tsunade blinked, carefully considering her next words.

Aokiji looked at Tsunade: "Tsunade, why don't you demonstrate your two best skills to this Rangiku-neechan?"

Seemingly still uneasy, he added, "Oh, by the way, don't demonstrate here. Your superhuman strength is so great, I'm afraid this room can't withstand it."

The larger version of Tsunade thought it made sense and made a gesture of invitation.

Tsunade went out with her; now that things had come to this, this was the only way to prove herself.

Not long after, the two returned, and the expression on the larger Tsunade's face softened considerably: "I never imagined that you two came from the past, and that you were actually the past of that Tsunade."

"Rangiku-neechan, I told you I wasn't lying, didn't I?" Tsunade pouted.

"I'm sorry," the larger version of Tsunade apologized.

"By the way, Rangiku-neechan, could you tell me about my future self, and about Konoha?"

Tsunade showed unprecedented enthusiasm for this matter.

Aokiji beside him narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, wanting to see how Tsunade of this era would explain herself.

The larger Tsunade looked troubled: "I'm sorry, I can't answer that question."

"Why?" Tsunade didn't quite understand. "If I knew the future, couldn't I prevent bad things from happening in the future?"

Tsunade's words triggered unpleasant memories for Tsunade, causing her heart to ache.

Yes~~

If we can avoid it, then those two people...

Thinking of this, she glanced away, seemingly avoiding his gaze, and just then, she saw a dark-haired boy blinking, looking at her with a curious expression.

Uh……

That said, why doesn't the boy himself have any recollection of this?

The Tsunade beside her was undoubtedly her past self, but she couldn't recall any memories of this boy no matter what she did.

"That's true, but have you considered that if you change the past, the future will also change? Perhaps things won't go in a good direction, but rather in a bad one."

Hearing her say that, Aokiji finally understood the intention of the larger Tsunade. All that buildup was just a pretext to find a reasonable excuse to refuse to tell Tsunade about the future.

What the other person said made sense, but Tsunade was still reluctant to give up. She hugged the other person's arm, blinked her big, bright eyes, and acted cute and charming: "In that case, can you tell me about my future self? You don't need to know everything, just a little bit will do."

She really wanted to know what she would be like in the future.

More importantly, did she marry Aokiji in the future, and did they have children?

Like a parent helplessly responding to a child's tantrums, a large Tsunade sighed and resignedly gave in: "Fine, I really can't do anything with you..."

If I don't tell her anything, it might backfire and arouse her desire to get to the bottom of things.

Tsunade was overjoyed, finally able to know what her future self would be like.

Aokiji and Shizune, who were standing to the side, both knew her true identity and looked on with curiosity, wondering how the larger Tsunade would introduce herself.
