Chapter 267: Tsunade: Kushina has been dead for over a decade! Tell me, who are you!
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Ren, I accept your trade. Collecting Elves seems quite interesting." At least, it's much more interesting than killing people.
Ren: "The trade is done, the contract is established. Those who break their word shall suffer the punishment of eating rocks."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Eating rocks?"
Kiana: "Eating stones? What kind of strange punishment is that?"
Ren: "Well, you'll have to ask Morax about that."
Furina: "Morax... the Geo Archon!"
Platelet: "Everyone, someone new just joined and spoke, it seems."
White Blood Cell: "Mm, named Big Fat Sheep."
Big Fat Sheep: "Huh? Who are you calling Big Fat Sheep?"
March 7th: "Ahem, the new member finally spoke. Big Fat Sheep, you can change your name, you know."
Kiana: "Big Fat Sheep, that name is pretty funny. I'm hungry."
Ren also found the name quite amusing. "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?" If it were true, he'd be quite annoyed.
Tsunade: "Tsk, to be called Big Fat Sheep right at the start of a gamble, how unlucky."
Ren blinked. Goodness! It really was Big Fat Sheep, it was Tsunade after all. But thankfully, it wasn't Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
Tsunade: "So what the hell is this? Is someone attacking me with genjutsu? You'd better not let me catch you, or I'll show you what monstrous strength is!"
Bloody Red Chili Pepper: "Lady Tsunade?"
Tsunade: "Who are you?"
Kushina: "I am Uzumaki Kushina, a Konoha Jonin."
Tsunade: "Kushina? Heh heh, how amusing. You or you all wouldn't think you could fool me with a dead person, would you? I'm one of the Konoha Sannin."
Kushina: "What do you mean? When did I die? I'm clearly still alive and well."
Tsunade: "Kushina died in the Nine-Tails attack over a decade ago. Didn't you even investigate clearly before casting genjutsu?"
Kushina: "Impossible! I'm only 24 now, how could I have died over a decade ago? I was still a child back then."
Tsunade: "You truly make me laugh. You can't even lie properly."
Kushina: "I completely don't understand what you're saying, Lady Tsunade!"
Kushina: "No, you're definitely not Lady Tsunade. Who cast this genjutsu? Come out quickly, I'll definitely make you taste the power of my fist!"
Inside the casino, a woman sat casually in her seat. Her light yellow long hair was styled into a large ponytail. A blue-purple mark of the Yin Seal was visible on her forehead. She had light yellow, short, thin eyebrows, bright brown eyes, light red lips, and red fingernails.
With fair skin and large breasts, she had a voluptuous figure and was a very beautiful, mature female ninja. She wore a dark green, black-trimmed long coat, a loose, sleeveless top resembling a kimono underneath, a black cloth belt around her waist, and dark blue capri pants. It could be said that Tsunade was a woman with excellent skin, figure, and beauty, especially her ample, protruding features.
A group of people eyed Tsunade covetously. It wasn't about her as a person; it was about her money. No one in the entire casino didn't know Tsunade's legendary title of "Big Fat Sheep." "Must lose every gamble" wasn't just a simple taunt. This person not only lost every time, but she was also exceptionally rich. Everyone wanted to gamble with her; it was a golden opportunity to get rich instantly!
However, Tsunade was completely uninterested now, her brows tightly furrowed. "Uzumaki Kushina…" Before leaving Konoha, she knew of this person. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. But Kushina had already died in the Nine-Tails attack over a decade ago. Was the caster an idiot? In her opinion, the probability of it being a genjutsu was very high. She scanned her surroundings but couldn't find the caster. "It seems to figure out what this is, I'll have to investigate from here."
Inside a residence in Konoha Village, Kushina, with her vibrant Red Hair, frustratingly tugged at her hair. She could be certain that the Tsunade speaking on the screen in front of her was absolutely not Lady Tsunade. But no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find the genjutsu caster.
"What should I do at a time like this…" If only she had someone she could trust to share her worries with. Kushina thought this, her expression growing very dim. She slumped to the ground, a bitter taste she couldn't hide on her lips. How could a violent woman with Red Hair like her possibly have friends? For over a decade, in Konoha, she felt no warmth at all. She couldn't trust anyone, including Lord Third. They also seemed unable to trust her…
She touched her belly; it was all because of the Nine-Tails sealed within her body; she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I am alive, but I am dead.
The actions of these two truly confused everyone.
Exu: "Uh, do they know each other or not?"
Kiana: "Oh my god, I'm a bit confused. Is Kushina dead or not?"
Saeko Busujima: "I don't understand. The two of them feel like they're in different times."
Furina: "Haha, this time it's a script full of suspense. Let's guess what's going on."
Rory Takakura: "I can't figure it out."
Let alone them, Ren himself was also bewildered. Tsunade, Uzumaki Kushina, these must be characters from Naruto. Uzumaki Kushina, he remembered, died in the Nine-Tails attack. So what Tsunade said was actually correct; the information matched. But Kushina said she was only 24! The problem here was very significant. There was a difference of over a decade.
Could it really be two people from the past and the future? Ren frowned tightly. If that were the case, the timeline wouldn't make sense at all; the situation between the two seemed very complex. Although there were too many questions, he didn't rush to ask. Because his fingers had already felt the extremely narrow path beside the two, which meant something big was coming. His gaze was sharp. He instantly accelerated.
"!!!" Megumi's eyes widened slightly, her small hand accelerating with force on one side, and gripping her phone tightly on the other. Yui let out an unbearable groan, but her small hand was also tightly clenched above her head, almost causing Ren to lose his composure. The three of them caused Yukino's pretty face to flush red. They were finished. Ren was not yet.
After a moment of blurred vision, Megumi glanced downwards. She put down her phone and picked up a pen from the table. Plink. The pen easily fell to the ground and rolled to Ren's feet. "Oh, the pen fell." She said something quite deliberate in a flat tone. Then Megumi crawled under the table to pick up the ballpoint pen. However, it seemed the pen had fallen in a hard-to-find spot. Megumi searched for a long time but couldn't find it, remaining under the table.
