"Tsunade!"
Jiraiya's eyes went wide, completely fixated on the figure Naruto was dragging behind him.
When he saw the slave collar on her neck, the handcuffs and shackles on her limbs, and the chain connecting them all together...
Jiraiya was dumbfounded—nose bleeding uncontrollably.
"Th-this is just... too much...!"
Orochimaru, however, didn't seem particularly disturbed. Instead, he curiously eyed the collar around Tsunade's neck.
"Quite the intricate piece of craftsmanship."
"Let me go, you bastard!" Tsunade shouted, her cheeks flushed with shame as she struggled violently.
Naruto simply released her, letting her fall to the ground with a thud.
Tsunade tried to get up, but the way the chains were connected made it impossible—she could only stay down on all fours.
"What the hell is this chain made of!? Why's it so damn strong!?"
She pulled with her monstrous strength, but the seastone shackles refused to budge—instead, her position only became more humiliating.
Trailing behind Naruto, Robin gave a serene smile and said,
"Tsunade-san, if you keep resisting, I might have to punish you again."
Tsunade glared at her with rage.
Just earlier, Naruto had brought her to a strange place—an enchanting world filled with colorful lights and breathtaking scenery, like a fairytale undersea kingdom.
She'd even seen mermaids. It was like something out of a dream.
But that dream quickly turned sour—thanks to this scheming woman.
The moment she learned Tsunade was Naruto's prisoner, Robin wasted no time locking her in seastone chains.
After Tsunade had overcome her hemophobia and tried to resist with strength, Robin had added handcuffs, leg restraints, and finally... the humiliating slave collar.
According to Robin, the chain set was loot from Fishman District—identical to those used on the World Nobles' slaves.
As Tsunade prepared to struggle again, Robin's smile didn't falter. She raised a finger.
Suddenly, a surge of crackling electricity burst from the collar.
Tsunade screamed in agony, convulsing violently on the ground.
After a few seconds, Robin let up and smiled again.
"Tsunade-san, if you still don't behave, I've got plenty of other methods... like, say, branding."
Tsunade shivered violently, remembering the red-hot iron Robin had casually twirled in her hand earlier.
Even Naruto was a little surprised by the sight.
"Robin... I only asked you to lock her up. Isn't this going a bit far?"
Robin giggled and wrapped her arms around Naruto's waist from behind.
"Naruto-kun, are you feeling sorry for this prisoner?"
"You already have me and Nami—being too greedy won't do."
Naruto twitched.
That mischievous smirk and scheming tone—she really was a black-hearted beauty.
Even more so than in the original timeline.
Robin chuckled again and turned to survey her surroundings. Her gaze eventually settled on the two shinobi across from them: Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
"So... this is where Naruto-kun comes from?"
It was unlike anything she'd ever seen.
Far broader, vaster, and more unpredictable than any island in the Grand Line.
And the two ninja standing across the battlefield—they didn't radiate overwhelming pressure, but their presence alone gave her a sense of mortal danger.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya could no longer contain himself.
He glared at Naruto and roared,
"Menma! Let Tsunade go, now! Are you trying to make an enemy of all of Konoha!?"
Orochimaru, on the other hand, licked his lips and looked at Robin with burning eyes.
"There's something special about this woman..."
Without warning, Orochimaru's neck extended like a viper's, lunging straight toward Robin.
"Let me leave a mark on that flawless body of yours."
Naruto frowned and prepared to intercept—but Jiraiya suddenly appeared, his hands forming seals:
"Doton: Yomi Numa!" (Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!)
The ground beneath Naruto turned soft and muddy, threatening to swallow him whole.
Seizing the chance, Jiraiya shouted:
"Needle Jizō!" (Needle Hell Hair!)
His white hair stood on end and shot forward like a storm of sharp senbon—hundreds of them flying at once.
Naruto furrowed his brows. He could easily ignore the hair attacks—they were nothing to him.
But Robin behind him might not be so lucky.
With a sigh, he said coldly:
"Life Return."
His body's cellular control activated. His short, golden hair suddenly grew to six or seven meters.
In an instant, it turned jet-black and was coated in Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki).
The black strands of hair struck out, colliding with Jiraiya's attack.
The two opposing hair techniques clashed in midair with the sound of clanging metal.
White strands were shredded one after another by Naruto's hardened hair.
Meanwhile, seeing Orochimaru's snake-like head rushing toward her, Robin stayed calm and crossed her arms.
"Treinta Fleur: Árbol Gigante!" (Thirty Flowers: Giant Tree!)
Countless pale white legs bloomed behind her like flower petals.
In just two seconds, they converged to form an enormous pair of pale, feminine legs—one of which stomped downward viciously.
Boom!
A deep footprint was left on the ground.
Before Robin could catch her breath, Naruto calmly said,
"Don't underestimate the enemy. That guy is dangerous."
Robin tensed—how strong could a man in such a sickly body really be?
Then—
A white serpent burst from the footprint in the earth, mouth wide open in a grotesquely exaggerated grin.
Covered in slimy mucus, Orochimaru emerged.
Robin flinched, but recovered quickly, crossing her arms again.
"Seis Fleur: Clutch!" (Sixteen Petal Bloom: Hook Claw!)
Several arms bloomed from Orochimaru's shoulders and collarbones, gripping his jaw and violently wrenching it backward.
But no crack followed.
His entire body twisted like a rubber doll, nearly folding in half—yet Orochimaru simply laughed hoarsely.
"Heh heh heh... just like Menma. You possess monstrous strength... Tell me, how do you do it?"
With eyes burning, Orochimaru lunged forward, mouth wide, preparing to bite down on Robin's arm.
Robin's pupils dilated. Without hesitation, she dispelled her Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit) powers and grabbed Tsunade's hair to retreat.
Orochimaru moved to chase, but—
"Bang!"
Naruto smashed his foot forward, slamming Orochimaru back.
"Your opponent is me, Orochimaru."
BOOM!!!
The ground beneath Orochimaru cracked open, forming a massive fissure that extended over ten meters.
Dust and debris billowed out as the battlefield shook.
