Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 151 Tsunade's Wood Release X Aokiji's Mangekyou Sharingan

Tsunade was startled when she saw the image in the mirror, but with her excellent composure, she quickly calmed down and then realized that something was wrong.

Wait, this face looks like my own...

The hair, the eyes, the eyebrows, and other facial features are definitely hers, if not for those ears.

Tsunade stared intently, noticing that these were ears unlike any other human's.

A normal person's earlobe has a slightly oval shape, but hers is not like that; instead, it is pointed and thin.

It looks strange at first glance, but the second and third glances make it more and more pleasing to the eye, and even quite beautiful.

"What strange ears..."

Tsunade muttered something to herself, then raised her slender, white fingers, like peeling a scallion, and gently touched her ear.

"Ah!" she exclaimed softly, her ears twitching as if she had been electrocuted.

"This area is so sensitive..."

Tsunade dared not touch it anymore.

She put aside the matter of her ears and focused her gaze on another part of her face.

If the pointed, slender ears in front were merely a little strange and still within the acceptable range, then the diamond-shaped blue crystal embedded in the forehead could not be described as merely strange; it was downright bizarre.

Tsunade stroked the diamond-shaped crystal embedded in her forehead, which felt as if it were growing into her flesh.

"Can this be removed?"

It looks beautiful, but since it's inside the flesh, it's hard not to feel a sense of alienation and subconsciously want to peel it off.

Tsunade lightly touched the rhombus-shaped blue crystal with her fingertips, then withdrew her hand, shook her head, and thought it best not to do anything rash. If something bad happened after she removed it, she would regret it.

Tsunade pinched her unreal cheek. Besides the obvious differences mentioned above, she also noticed that her skin was better, firmer, smoother, and more bouncy.

She usually uses the Hundred Healings Technique to conceal her age, making her look extremely young. However, if you look closely, you can still see some faint wrinkles.

Her current skin texture doesn't seem to be concealed by ninjutsu; instead, it looks more like her real skin.

"So beautiful, she's like an elf..."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, never imagining that she would ever be so narcissistic.

and many more.

What are elves?

Why does she know this word?

In her memory, she probably didn't know this word.

Tsunade belatedly realized that she had figured it out a bit.

It's likely that the two little ones went back to the past and caused huge changes, which led to changes in her, far in the future.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

Tsunade raised her arm and clenched her fist twice. She could feel the immense power contained in this body, which was even greater than her past self.

Because there was a floor-length mirror in front of her, which showed her entire figure, Tsunade was slightly surprised and wondered if she had grown a few centimeters taller.

If she had only grown a little taller, Tsunade wouldn't have noticed much of it. The problem was that the increase in height was all in her legs, which made her appear very tall and slender.

"This is really strange, what exactly happened to my past self...?"

After Tsunade finished dressing, because her legs had grown longer, the pants that were originally a good fit looked like cropped pants on her.

"In any case, let's wait for Shizune to come back..."

With this thought in mind, she waited and waited...

After waiting for ages, almost starving to death, she still hadn't seen Jingyin return, and couldn't help but complain, "So slow."

Tsunade, who couldn't wait any longer, left the room and found a hotel staff member to ask Shizune if she had left any message.

If Jingyin were truly leaving, she wouldn't have vanished without saying goodbye. Instead, she was met with bewildered responses from the staff, including a reply stating "No such person found."

Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise: "How is this possible? Think about it carefully."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered his own situation and realized that it was hard not to connect it with Silent's sudden disappearance.

Now that things had come to this, she had nothing more to ask. She hurriedly left the inn and embarked on her journey back to Konoha alone, wanting to know what Konoha had become in this timeline.

Tsunade is already extremely beautiful, and with her broad-mindedness, she naturally attracts a lot of attention when she walks down the street.

Not to mention, in her current state, she looks like a human-shaped little sun, becoming the center of attention wherever she goes.

"This is such a hassle. Anyway, I'd better go buy a cloak to cover myself up first."

Sigh, this is probably what they call a beautiful trouble...

Tsunade gave a mini Versailles.

She strolled over to a street stall, picked up a brown cape, and asked about the price.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by.

Tsunade lifted her long, flowing golden hair, and the sunlight shining on the street and the noise of passersby paled in comparison.

The street vendor stared blankly: "Uh...it's free."

Leaving the city, Tsunade once again set foot on the sandy land. Facing the endless sand, he couldn't help but recall the joke Aokiji had played on him a few days ago.

"Planting trees and creating forests, is that right...?"

As if she had thought of something, Tsunade's beautiful lips curled up slightly.

Speaking of which, besides the changes in her appearance, she seems to have changed quite a bit internally as well.

For example, she now seems to have mastered a bloodline limit, a bloodline limit that she had longed for but could not obtain in the past.

Tsunade clapped her hands together, closed her eyes, focused her mind, and sensed the chakra in the surrounding natural world. After a long period of preparation, as she opened her eyes, a flower grew on the top of her hair, as white as snow and as shaped as a rose.

This is not just about being pretty; it's her unique fairy mode.

She can sense the natural energy around her through the white rose above her head, and absorb this energy through the flower, then combine it with her own chakra to create Sage Chakra.

Having done this, Tsunade wasn't finished yet. With her hands clasped together, she spread her index fingers and interlocked them, forming a hand seal resembling the character "巳".

Tsunade's eyebrows reached her temples, and her eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Celestial Art: Descent of the Tree Realm"

Numerous vines sprouted from the desert, seemingly uprooting trees and creating a vast forest in no time.

Petals fell from above her head. Tsunade deactivated Sage Mode, put one hand on her hip, and looked at the spectacular scene before her with considerable pride.

She wasn't proud of herself, but rather of her past self for actually developing Wood Release and Sage Mode.

A week later, Tsunade returned to Konoha Village.

Looking at the open door, Tsunade hesitated for a moment before going inside.

The gatekeepers guarding the village gates of Konoha saw a suspicious person wearing a cloak preparing to openly enter the village. Naturally, they wouldn't let him pass so easily, so they crossed their arms and blocked his way.

"It's me." Tsunade lifted her cloak, revealing her face.

Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, the two guards were momentarily stunned, then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy: "Lord Hokage, where have you been? Everyone has been looking for you while you were gone."

As they were talking, the other security guard had already disappeared in a flash, apparently to report the incident.

"What did you just call me?" Tsunade's head buzzed. Didn't she remember that the Hokage was Jiraiya, who had just taken office?

The Konoha gatekeeper repeated, puzzled, "Hokage-sama?"

"Wait, my mind is a bit muddled, let me calm down."

Tsunade rubbed her temples, completely bewildered. Could it be that her past self was causing trouble again?

As she was lost in thought, a familiar yet somber voice echoed in the air: "Oh, isn't this Tsunade? I've finally found you."

Tsunade looked up and saw a man in a kimono with a delicate face and purple eyeshadow that added to his sinister look.

Orochimaru!?

Tsunade took a step back, instinctively making a wary gesture.

Orochimaru looked at him, puzzled: "Why are you so nervous?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? You killed the Third Hokage and still dare to swagger around like that... uh..."

Upon hearing that he had killed the Third Hokage Orochimaru, his calm face showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I am a good citizen of Konoha. How could I possibly do such a heinous thing as killing a master?"

Tsunade understood what was going on; it was the same old problem.

This led to Orochimaru, who should have rebelled, choosing instead to stay in the village.

Since Orochimaru of this era did not kill the Third Hokage, in other words, the Third Hokage abdicated peacefully, and she became the Fourth Hokage?

"What about the Third Hokage?"

Tsunade asked the question casually, and the result surprised her greatly.

"Dead..."

Orochimaru spoke coldly, showing no respect or remembrance for the deceased.

"How did he die?"

Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise. Orochimaru hadn't betrayed them, so why was the Third Hokage still dead?

"You've been acting really strange since you left." Orochimaru narrowed his vertical pupils, deducing from the previous conversation, "You haven't lost your memory, have you?"

Tsunade thought to herself, "As expected of Orochimaru, he noticed something was wrong so quickly."

She wasn't in the mood to talk to Orochimaru about this, and instead pressed him for details about why Asuma had committed patricide.

Orochimaru sighed, about to explain, when a gust of wind blew by, carrying a hint of winter chill. He knew who had come, and grinned, "Let's put this matter aside for now, your husband is here."

"My husband?"

Orochimaru raised his chin in a certain direction.

Tsunade looked in the direction he was looking and saw a white-haired, blue-eyed boy walking towards her. He looked very young, but the problem was that he was too young. He looked about the same age as when they first met, around twelve or thirteen years old.

(ps: The cover of the reference book)

Tsunade remembered that Aokiji had black hair and black eyes, a typical Uchiha appearance.

How come he's still a child after all these decades?

Strangely, the color of her hair and eyes has also changed.

If they weren't so close in age, she wouldn't have recognized him at a glance.

Aokiji looked worried: "You've finally come back. I've been so worried these past few days."

Tsunade blurted out, "Why do you look like this?"

This was completely irrelevant; Aokiji was utterly bewildered and didn't respond.

As for why he became like this, it can only be said that a lot of things happened in between, and one important reason was someone's strange fetish.

Aokiji looked at Orochimaru: "What happened to her?"

Orochimaru carefully considered his words before replying, "She may have amnesia."

"Varied……"

Orochimaru suggested, "Shall we take a look with the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

With the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, perhaps we can see some clues.

Aokiji had this intention, so he dyed his pupils red, and the three tomoe spun rapidly near his pupils, forming a unique pattern.

"This is..." Tsunade stared blankly at the patterns on Aokiji's eyes, which resembled hexagonal snowflakes. This was not an ordinary Sharingan, but the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan.

Tsunade had never seen it, but that didn't stop her from knowing about it.

Orochimaru asked, "So, did you spot anything wrong?"

Aokiji closed his eyes, shook his head, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to normal.

Aokiji glanced at Tsunade again, but even with his eye power, he couldn't detect anything amiss in her.

and many more……

Perhaps because my attention was focused on other things, I overlooked the most obvious thing.

"The one on your forehead..."

Aokiji narrowed his eyes slightly; he remembered that this thing seemed to be...

Before he could even ask the question, Tsunade suddenly fainted.

When she woke up again, she had no memory of what had happened before and reverted to her usual self: "What happened?"

"You don't remember?"

Aokiji looked at the red diamond-shaped crystal on Tsunade's forehead, which had turned from blue back to red, and found it very strange.

Tsunade rubbed her chin with her hand, lost in thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up.

Aokiji pressed, "So, did you remember anything?"

Tsunade smiled gently: "Want a kiss?"

Aokiji covered his face with one hand: "Uh..."

He still prefers the unruly Tsunade of the past; Tsunade at this age is just too clingy.

Tsunade's ears flapped like fans: "Hurry up, hurry up, today is kissing day."

"What the heck is Kissing Day? Don't give me any more holidays like this, please."

"July 7th issue, Kissing Day."

"..."

Tsunade spread her arms wide: "Hurry up."

"You're not tired of it anymore, I'll..."

Tsunade's face darkened.

"I won't get tired of it..."

"whee……"

……

……

A huge explosion rang out, sending up a cloud of white smoke. After it dissipated, two figures lay quietly on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Hatake Sakumo and the Jonin leading the team rushed forward immediately and woke the two up.

The two woke up groggily, saw familiar surroundings and faces, and knew they were back, their faces beaming with joy.

Sakumo Hatake, who had woken the two, and the Jonin leading the team were a little confused, but they didn't take it too seriously.

The two had discussed this matter and naturally understood each other without saying a word, indicating that after a bright light, they knew nothing more.

"Where's the snake?" Sakumo Hatake searched the vicinity but found no snake carcasses.

Aokiji casually remarked, "It was probably devoured by the power of the dragon vein."

Hatake nodded, tentatively accepting this explanation. Since they couldn't find Ueto at the scene, this was the only reason they could use: "It makes some sense, but why are you two unharmed? And I remember you were poisoned, right? How come you're acting like nothing happened?"

"The power of the dragon vein is mysterious and unpredictable; I don't know it either."

Regardless of what the other party says, Aokiji should just blame everything on the power of the dragon vein. If you're so capable, why don't you time travel like me?

He suggested, "The power of the dragon vein seems very dangerous. Should we destroy it?"

As for whether doing this will have any impact on the literal life of Loulan, Aokiji can only apologize for that.

Dragon veins can be used for time travel, so leaving them unused is far too dangerous. Who knows, maybe some unscrupulous person might use the power of a dragon vein to travel through time.

"Let's take a look first." Hatake Sakumo didn't misunderstand Aokiji's suggestion. Instead, he checked the dragon vein first and found that the power contained in the dragon vein had decreased significantly. It was not as frightening as it used to be. He estimated that it would probably be impossible to rely on it for time travel in the future, so he decided to just leave it at that.

Aokiji shrugged. This was good. It was a happy ending because it preserved some of the dragon vein's power without affecting the lives of the Loulan people.

After the mission was completed, the four-person team had a final handover with their contact person in Sunagakure before heading back to Konoha.

PS1: Chapter 80 is out now. From now on, I won't be driving straight anymore; I'll be driving on curves.

PS2: To clarify, in my understanding, Tsunade's worldview is somewhat similar to a parallel worldview, but not entirely. It's somewhere in between. The protagonist gets stuck in a bug and travels to a world without her own back in time. This world will be corrected accordingly. In the parallel world, Tsunade also has a lingering feeling that she's always being cheated on.

We see anime in 2D, but maybe our reality is still 2D in other people's lives...

PS3: That's all for today. First update. Just a little tired.
