Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"That wretched woman, are we really going to call her back to Konoha?"

“Naruto, that’s Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. How can you call her a stinky woman?”

Sakura chimed in from the side, saying that Tsunade was the ninja that female ninjas like Sakura admired the most. There weren't many strong female ninjas, and Konoha only had a few: Tsunade, Kushina, and Mikoto. The rest were hardly famous.

"So what if they're the Three Ninja?"

Naruto pursed his lips.

"Well, don't underestimate Tsunade. She's the strongest healing ninja in the ninja world."

Jiraiya stood up and dusted himself off.

"Okay, now that we've found it, things will be simple."

The mission couldn't be abandoned, of course; Tsunade had to be brought back. Jiraiya smiled, seemingly quite confident. Just now, he hadn't given any reason whatsoever—

"We have quite a few unusual guests today."

Tsunade shielded Shizune and looked at Orochimaru, who had suddenly appeared. He and Kabuto looked rather pale.

"It's about treatment, of course. You can probably tell I'm very weak. Even if it's just for a little while, it'll help keep me alive."

"Your old friend's life is in your hands. Will you destroy him or not?"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and stared at Orochimaru in front of her.

"What right do you have?"

"I'll give you some more time to think it over. In return, I can restore Yue Shu's memories."

Tsunade's eyes narrowed. She didn't know about the Moon Tree, nor did she expect Orochimaru to fabricate it.

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he and Kabuto disappeared into the night.

"Lady Tsunade."

Even the silent voice trembled; this was something they could hardly refuse.

Everyone knows about Orochimaru's research into forbidden techniques, so maybe he really does have some ideas.

"Let's go back first."

"Ah."

Tsunade and Shizune walked silently back to the inn. There were many guests tonight, and even more things to do.

Chapter 350: The First Battle Erupts

Tsunade has been very upset these past few days, and she hasn't even gone to the casino anymore, instead staying in the inn all by herself.

Shizune, who was standing nearby, also saw Tsunade's state, but there was nothing she could do. Instead, she was just as troubled as Tsunade.

The news about Orochimaru was undoubtedly shocking to them and very attractive to them.

"Lady Tsunade, it's time to eat. The staff has brought the food."

Just as Shizune received the food from the door, she came up to Tsunade and said...

"I'm not going to eat yet, I'm going out for a walk."

"Lady Tsunade."

Ignoring Shizune's calls, Tsunade walked straight out.

Jingyin neither stopped them nor followed them; she simply sighed and stayed at the inn.

Let Tsunade think about it on her own for now.

Shizune touched the little piglet next to her, her eyes seemed a little dazed, as if time had turned back to when she was just a little kid and Tsukiki was also just a little kid.

"I really want things to be like they used to be, don't you, Tonton?"

There are many times like this. Jingyin often reminisces about her childhood, a childhood that is warmer than ever before.

But in the end, childhood became a romanticized era, and decades have passed.

"Tsunade."

"Have you made your decision?"

A gentle breeze was blowing in her face, and Tsunade was not surprised to hear Orochimaru's words.

"It's you again, Orochimaru."

Tsunade didn't even need to turn around to know that Orochimaru and Kabuto were standing behind her.

Is what you're saying true?

Tsunade turned around and looked directly at Orochimaru.

"That's certainly true."

Orochimaru smiled and answered Tsunade, which made Tsunade even more conflicted.

Just as Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to agree, a voice interrupted everything.

"Tsunade! Don't agree to him!"

Before the words were even finished, Orochimaru and Kabuto's expressions changed instantly, and they looked to the side.

Jiraiya had already launched a Rasengan, so Orochimaru had no choice but to defend against it.

"boom!"

Orochimaru and Kabuto retreated a distance, and Jiraiya appeared before them with Team 7.

"Jiraiya?"

Tsunade was also stunned for a moment, looking at the scene that had begun to confront her.

"why?"

Tsunade frowned and questioned her, suddenly turning hostile. Tsunade had no idea what was going on.

"No matter what, Orochimaru definitely doesn't have any good intentions."

"It's really heartbreaking. We've been partners for so many years."

Orochimaru licked his lips, and Kakashi, who was on guard in front, also lifted his headband to reveal his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"But he can restore the Moon Tree's memories."

Tsunade clenched her hands. This matter was really attractive to her. From the moment she first met Tsukiki until now, Tsukiki had long been like family to Tsunade, holding a position just as important as Nawaki in her heart.

"But Tsukiki's memories have already returned!"

Jiraiya was also stunned for a moment, and after he said that, both of them were dumbfounded.

"Although old friends are getting together, I'm afraid I won't have time to keep my appointment this time. Tsunade, Jiraiya, see you next time."

Knowing he was at a disadvantage in this situation, Orochimaru made a few words and then left with his Body Flicker Technique.

"What happened? Has Yue Shu's memory returned?"

Ultimately, it was because she had been away from Konoha for too long, and of course, the matter was also kept secret and not spread outside, so Tsunade did not know about it.

"It's been a while. What, do you want to go back and see him? He and Minato called for us to go back this time."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, Kakashi stepped forward and explained his purpose and what was about to happen.

"Jiraiya".

Tsunade's anger was well suppressed, and she called out softly.

Jiraiya eagerly walked up to Tsunade, but unfortunately, what awaited him was not a reward, but a punch.

Why didn't you tell me about this sooner!

With one punch, Jiraiya was sent flying like a rocket.

The other men present shuddered, staring at the furious woman before them.

Terrible!

That was the only thought. Even though Tsunade's appearance was still as beautiful and captivating as when she was young.

But this thought lasted only a short while before an explosion rang out.

Jiraiya, who had flown to the side and was lying on the ground, jumped up instantly, looking at the smoke rising from the town with a serious expression.

Bang bang bang!

The explosions continued.

"What happened?!"

Naruto clenched his fists and instinctively rushed forward.

"Naruto!"

Sakura reached out to grab him, but it was too sudden; it would be too dangerous for him to barge in like that.

Unfortunately, Sakura couldn't stop anyone, and Sasuke, who was standing nearby, immediately followed.

Seeing the two figures disappear without a thought, Sakura ran after them.

"These guys."

Kakashi, as the instructor, showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He himself had gone ahead, along with Jiraiya and Tsunade. The three Kage-level powerhouses would naturally be faster than Naruto and the others.

Everyone rushed over, and Orochimaru, who hadn't gone far, also looked in this direction.

"Interesting, Akatsuki hasn't disbanded yet?"

Following his gaze, in the center of the town, enemies shrouded in red auspicious clouds were wreaking havoc, and there was more than one of them.

Their enemy also revealed himself; he had a deep connection with Akatsuki and, like Orochimaru, was a traitor to Akatsuki.

Uchiha Itachi, this name has long been famous in these factions.

"Itachi! You traitor! You, Deidara, Kisame, and the others will all be wiped out."

The original Akatsuki has disbanded, and the current Akatsuki is led by Obito, and most of its members are vicious people.

Most of the original Akatsuki members and veterans have left. They joined Akatsuki because of their desire for peace, but the current Akatsuki is no longer the same Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki led by Zero and Nagato is the Akatsuki they want to be in.
