Its been three days since Tsunade received the news of Sarutobis death and Jirayas request to return to konoha .
But she was still having doubts as she was had a feeling that if she returned this time , it may be long long stay .
On the other hand Shizune had been pestering her non stop to return , but she still couldnt find the courage to return to the village .
As she had been kicked out ... Aka ran away from yet another casino owner , Tsuanade and shizune were currently spending their night in the wild .
Shizune had fallen asleep as Tsunade was awake , reminiscing about her past memories, of their team , Jiraya , Orichimaru and sensei .
But then these memories changed as memories of Nawakis death and then Dans death emerged, her vision turned red as all see saw was her bloodied hand ... Her body trembling as she couldnt breath .
The PTSD attack lasted for five minute as she finally regained her composure and stopped the trembling of her hands .
She took another few minutes to adjust her state and looked at Shizune who was still sleeping .
" You can come out of your hiding place ... Orochimaru"
Tsunade slowly called out as she stepped infront of the sleeping Shizune .
" Still sharp as ever i see and you have managed to control your episodes in a better way rather than thrashing and punching anything and everything , Tsunade "
Orochimaru, with his pale face and loose hanging hands appeared from behind a tree .
" Looks like sensei didnt go down without a fight ... What here for a treatment ? "
Tsunade teased but her eyes held Nothing but contempt and anger for Orochimaru .
Orochimarus face muscle twitched as he remebered how sarutobi severed his hands .
" Ah... Tsunade looks like news already reached you ... Dont tell me you still cared for that old fool . After everything he did , and everything you lost "
" Dont you dare Orochimaru!! ... "
Tsunades face fell as she clenched her fist .
" Relax , i am not here for a fight and you are no longer a fighter Tsunade . But i do have something that you need and you are the only one who can help me heal my hands "
Tsunade remained silent as she wanted to know what Orochimaru had to offer .
" How is it ... I can let you meet your brother and dear dan ..."
Before Orochimaru could finish , Tsunade attacked as Orochimaru was sent flying through the forest , after striking down a dozen trees did he finally manage to stop and spat out a mouth load of blood .
" Hahaha... Tsunade you still cant go all out against your old friends can you ... Anyway kisten yo what i have to offer .
I can use reanimate jutsu to let you talk with nawaki and Dan ... "
"...."
This time Tsunade didnt attack , Orochimaru smiled and continued .
" If you still want to meet them , meet me here alone tomorrow , heal my hands and you get to meet both of them "
Leaving the words behind , Orochimaru vanished .
Shizune who had already woken up after Tsunades first attack , also heard this .
Shizune was the neice of Dan and knew that Tsunade and Dan had been engaged once.
So in a way , Tsunade was like her aunt and the only family left .
So when she heard that Orochimaru can let Tsunade sama meet Dan and her little brother .
She was also tempted ...tempted for Tsunade sama .
But Tsunade had a different expression on her face , not of defeat ...but of white rage .
Because , for that to be possible .
Orochimaru had disturbed both Dan and Nawakis grave and for her that was the line .
But at the same time the temptations to meet , Dan and Nawaki ... She couldn't bring herself to not say no or kill Orochimaru.
" DAMMIT !!! "
....
The next day , Tsunade arrived to meet Orochimaru alone , as requested. But instead kf Orochimaru it was Kabuto who came to recieve her .
Tsunade followed Kabuto for two whole days untill they had reached the hideout .
" We are here !! "
Kabuto announced as he slammed his hand onto the ground and summoned Manda .
" So ...where is my patient ?? "
Tsunade asked in frustration, as he had been running for two whole days , her clothes were all sticking to her curves and she wanted to end this quickly and take a bath .
" Welcome Tsunade , i am soo glad that you were able to come "
Orochimaru smiled as he appeared from inside Mandas gape.
" And you are still disgusting as ever "
" Shall we begin ? "
Orochimaru asked...
" Not yet ... I wont two things from you "
" Two promises"
Tsunade demanded .
" And i want them full filed before i begin "
Orochimarus eyes narrowed but he gave her a nod ...
" First , i want you to return any and all samples of Dan and Nawaki body you have in any where on you , your lab, your subordinate or in-person to be return and never touch them again "
" Alright "
" Second , if i fail to heal your hands... You will never ever contact me again . As Orichimaru our friendship has ended rught here and now .
I dont care about the last any longer ....but if you dare cross me again .
I promise on Dan and Nawaki that i ... Wont...hold ..Back "
Tsunade cracked her knuckles as she said the last bit
Orochimaru gulped as he knew that he had crossed Tsunades bottom line today and they were done now ... There was no going back .
" Alright ... I accept both of them and promise you ill never contact you ever again after today , and ill never touch Dan or Nawakis corpse ever again ... As for the sample i have it the only one i ever took i promise"
Orochimaru said as he took out two test tubes and inside were two small pieces of bone and flesh matter .
Each tube labelled Dan and nawaki respectively.
Orochimaru threw them over to Tsunade who carefull held them in her hands .
" But ilm need them to actually reanimate them , so when you are done healing my hands ... Even if you dont succeed , ill still reanimate them for you . Think of this as my last act as your friend tsunade oh and from now on .. i will also not hold back "
Orochimaru said the last but as his snake eyes appeared .
