Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 133 Tsunade's Crazy Imagination

The next day, early in the morning.

The larger Tsunade approached the smaller Tsunade to ask if she was willing to accept yesterday's suggestion.

Tsunade nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The larger version of Tsunade wore a smile.

"stare……"

Noticing a pair of eyes staring intently at her chest, the larger Tsunade knew what was going on. Unable to resist teasing her past, she puffed out her chest and asked, "Envious?"

The other party's sarcasm did not elicit a strong reaction from Tsunade.

"Well……"

It's like punching cotton; even a larger version of Tsunade wouldn't understand.

ω

Tsunade's eyes were narrow-minded, and she was as cunning as a cat.

Tsunade was increasingly confused, wondering why she could vaguely see a motherly smile in her eyes.

Recalling her earlier action of looking at her chest, the larger Tsunade lowered her head to look.

Looking down, you can't see your toes; instead, you see a snow-white ravine, along with a blue-green crystal necklace.

This is the original necklace, priceless and highly recognizable.

The larger version of Tsunade's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, did she discover something?

"Let's go, my dear daughter. Oh, no, Rangiku-neechan, let's hurry up and start today's lesson."

Tsunade blurted out the secret and quickly corrected herself.

The larger version of Tsunade heard it clearly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Daughter, daughter...

In the morning, the larger Tsunade thoroughly investigated Orochimaru and Jiraiya's injuries, then prescribed appropriate treatments, explaining related knowledge to her past self in great detail.

Perhaps because they are all from the same person, Tsunade found it easy to understand.

Before long, it was noon, lunchtime.

The larger version of Tsunade stopped lecturing. "That's enough for now."

Tsunade left the room: "I'm going to check on Aokiji for a bit, I'll be back in a bit."

The larger version of Tsunade watched them leave, then shook her head.

"Lady Tsunade, did you hear what Tsunade said to you this morning?"

Jingyin, who hadn't had many opportunities before, finally found one and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "She called you daughter..."

Large Tsunade: ...

"Do you think Tsunade might have deduced your age based on the First Hokage necklace around your neck, the Yin Seal on your forehead, your appearance, and your exceptional medical ninjutsu? After all, you're actually over 50 years old in this era..."

Tsunade's ears twitched, and she let out a deliberately drawn-out "Ah," a sound tinged with threat.

Jingyin shrank back, her face filled with fear, sweat beading on her forehead. She hated it when people mentioned her real age in front of her: "Uh... your current appearance, with your fair skin and delicate features, is practically no different from that of a twenty-year-old girl. It's not surprising that she would think that way."

The larger Tsunade pouted, looking annoyed: "What a troublesome little brat..."

"Lady Tsunade, what are you going to do?"

"What else can we do? Let's just keep it to ourselves..."

Shizune couldn't help but chuckle; it was just too funny to be mistaken for her daughter by her past self.

"Shizune, I've noticed you seem a bit lax and slack off lately. Let me give you some special training."

The larger version of Tsunade didn't clasp her hands together; instead, she turned them outwards, and the smile on her lips carried a hint of sneer.

"Well……"

Silent couldn't laugh anymore.

"Let's begin right away."

"No, Lady Tsunade, I was wrong."

Silently let out a mournful cry and turned to run away.

Tsunade pressed down on the shoulder with one hand, channeling her strength into her fingertips, causing the other person to hiss in pain.

"My special training is a bit painful, you'll have to bear with it."

"Eeeeeee—!"

…………

A few days later, Aokiji was discharged from the hospital.

The pheasant stretched its limbs and felt wonderful, so it couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so good to be alive..."

The larger version of Tsunade subtly observed Aokiji, showing great curiosity about him, and planned to take advantage of the opportunity to celebrate his discharge from the hospital to find out more about him.

Aokiji bowed and thanked him again, showering him with compliments and flattery.

"You have a sweet tongue; you must be a very popular guy."

The larger version of Tsunade had a pretty good impression of him.

Tsunade curled her lip, mercilessly exposing Aokiji's true colors: "He's not usually like this; he's quite annoying in the village."

The larger version of Tsunade became even more interested.

To celebrate their discharge from the hospital, the four of them went to a barbecue restaurant.

At the dinner table, casual conversation is naturally inevitable.

"Rangiku-neechan, how cheeky! You can ask about us, but we can't ask about you."

Tsunade pouted in dissatisfaction.

"This is different." The larger Tsunade dodged the question. "Tell me about the two of you. I'm quite curious."

Tsunade briefly told her about the two of them.

"Hey classmate..."

The larger version of Tsunade had drunk too much sake, her face flushed, and after trying to recall, she couldn't remember such a person at all.

He remained relatively calm at first, but when he heard that Aokiji was from the Uchiha clan, he almost choked on his drink.

Are you alright?

Tsunade asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just drank too fast."

The larger version of Tsunade wiped the wine from her lips, appearing calm on the surface, but inwardly she was in turmoil.

It was shocking enough that Aokiji was her past lover, but I never expected that he was also from the Uchiha clan.

The larger Tsunade took a swig of sake to calm her nerves.

There was a rift between the Senju and Uchiha clans in that era, and considering their different social statuses, their desire to unite would likely have met with a lot of opposition.

"Um, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"What?"

Tsunade and Aokiji asked in unison.

"You two are together? Haven't your families objected?"

Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly, and she twirled her index finger on the table, saying shyly, "We went through some things not long ago, and we've only just confirmed our relationship. Neither of our families knows yet."

"Oh, no wonder..." Tsunade nodded calmly. She knew it; how could the two families not object?

But that doesn't make sense either. Why do I have no memory of Aokiji?

Tsunade racked her brains trying to figure out this problem.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

If she hadn't gone to rescue Aokiji, wouldn't Aokiji not exist, and the story would have been closer to historical fact?

Thinking about this, Tsunade suddenly regretted saving Aokiji.

But that doesn't make sense either. Why does she have absolutely no recollection of Aokiji?

Tsunade couldn't understand it even if she thought about it until she died.

She is not someone who dwells on trivial matters.

But what I was seeing was just too bizarre.

If she can't figure this out, she'll probably be unable to eat or sleep.

For a time, my head was throbbing so badly that I could only numb myself with alcohol.

If Tsunade had known about the concept of parallel universes at that moment, she probably wouldn't have gotten so caught up in this obsession.

So he started to imagine other possibilities. Could it be that when the two people in front of him went back to the past, something unexpected happened, and Aokiji disappeared or died?

Only Tsunade was able to safely return to the past. Because she was too heartbroken, the villagers didn't want her to remain in that state, so they intentionally erased her memories of Aokiji and told those around her not to mention those memories to her.

If that's the explanation, then my lack of memory of Aokiji makes perfect sense.

If that's the case, then Kato Dan isn't her first love, and the boy in front of her named Uchiha Aokiji is her first love, and Kato Dan is just a third party?
