Chapter 1
"Ahhh, ah, Dan... don't... die!"
"Dan, don't leave me. I've already lost my brother—I can't lose you too, woo woo."
Tsunade sobbed as she spoke.
"I don't want to die. Tsunade, we haven't even gotten married yet, haven't had seven or eight kids! I absolutely can't die here."
Dan gazed at his beloved Tsunade before him.
"His internals are all ruptured—there's no saving him!" Orochimaru said with a gloomy expression.
"Shut your mouth!" Jiraiya cursed grumpily.
Seeing Tsunade crying her eyes out, even the self-proclaimed playboy Jiraiya felt a pang of heartache.
Death was terrifying, but being able to make Tsunade care so much—what a blessing in disguise.
"Detecting host's strong obsession. God-level Choice System activated. Newbie gift package has been issued. Please check and receive it." A mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
A smile suddenly appeared on Kato Dan's face, startling Tsunade. She thought it was his final burst of life and cried even harder.
Lying on the ground, Dan's mind was racing with ecstasy. He was originally a die-hard Naruto fan who had died from staying up all night binge-watching and overworking. Transmigrating into this Naruto world, he'd thought his foreknowledge would let him woo Tsunade and reach the peak of life. But instead, he ended up on the original host's doomed path.
Just as he thought his life was over, the transmigrator's golden finger finally appeared. Wasn't this the rhythm of taking off?
He quickly claimed the newbie gift package. Success! Congratulations, host, for activating "Fusion Body" (no rejection reaction to others' organs, similar to Uchiha Shin's constitution).
Looking at the tear-streaked, pear-blossom-like beauty Tsunade, he weakly said, "Tsunade, I..."
Tsunade cried even harder. "Dan, don't speak. I know—you've always loved me deeply. Don't say anymore, woo woo woo."
Kato Dan: "...Cough cough cough, I think I can still be saved?!"
Tsunade: "What? You still want to kiss me?!"
Without caring about the blood on Dan's mouth, she leaned in and kissed him, nearly sending him straight to the afterlife.
Dan used his last bit of strength to push Tsunade away and said:
"I can still be saved. Just transplant the internals from the enemy who killed me into my body."
Though Tsunade thought it was impossible deep down, she did it anyway. Gentle as water in front of him, but everyone knew her decisive, ruthless nature—how else would she earn the title of one of the "Sannin"?
She transplanted the dying enemy's internals into Dan's body, sealing the ruptures and even connecting the tiniest blood vessels with her exquisite medical ninjutsu.
After finishing, Tsunade wiped the sweat from her forehead. Those actions had drained a massive amount of her chakra. If not for her strong recovery, she couldn't have completed such a complex healing surgery.
Watching Dan's heartbeat gradually stabilize and his breathing even out, Tsunade could hardly believe her eyes. This was a medical miracle.
In her knowledge, organ transplants caused rejection reactions—severe ones led straight to death. Yet Dan had perfectly fused the transplanted organs without side effects. Did he have a special constitution that made him immune?
Nearby, Orochimaru licked his lips with great interest.
"Interesting. I wonder if it's a coincidence or a special physique that allows perfect fusion of other organs. Kato-kun, it seems we'll have to get closer from now on."
If Kato Dan knew he'd been targeted by this slimy snake, he'd be covered in goosebumps.
For now, he was still in a coma from his severe injuries, though his consciousness had sunk into the system interface, viewing his character stats.

Now, Kato Dan lay in a Konoha hospital bed. Tsunade, having expended massive chakra and gone days without sleep, had gone to rest. So when he woke, he saw only white sheets and flowers from Tsunade.
Tsunade really was a gentle girl. In the original Naruto he'd watched, she was portrayed as a violent female ninja, but that was toward others. What merit did he have to receive her tenderness?
"Maybe it's because I'm too handsome, unlike that pervert Jiraiya. Oh right, I have to live well. That Jiraiya's always trying to steal my girl! Eat shit, Jiraiya!"
As he thought this, the system's mechanical voice rang out again: "Since the host has escaped life-threatening danger, the system presents the following choices:"
"First: Propose to Tsunade. Success grants Hashirama's Immortal Physique (nerfed version, similar to fusing Hashirama cells)."
"Second: Reject Tsunade's love. Gain the 'Big Fool' title. From then on, part ways with Tsunade—bridges become bridges, roads become roads. Jiraiya reaches the peak of life."
"Third: Be ordinary friends with Tsunade. Gain the 'Nice Guy Card.' Women feel close to you and treat you as their best friend, but see you as a honest pushover."
"This system thinks I'm an idiot? No need to think—choose one."
As he selected, Tsunade entered the room just in time. Seeing Dan struggling to sit up, she rushed over to support him.
With her running, her casually dressed chest bounced, making Dan's nose feel warm. Tsunade thought it was a relapse and checked him over before relaxing.
Gazing at the beauty before him, Dan felt the manga was too conservative. Tsunade-hime's figure was far more explosive than in the comics. Even sitting by the bed, those two peaks nearly brushed him—ridiculous.
Though they were a couple, they'd only kissed at most—everything else was pure. The original Kato Dan was such a loser; all that joy now fell to him. The Kato clan was terrifying like this.
While Tsunade wasn't looking, he quickly grabbed the flowers by the window and held them to his chest, saying emotionally:
"Tsunade-chan, I originally wanted to wait until the war ended to propose, but after brushing with death, I realize my heart is shaped by love for you. Marry me, okay? I swear I'll love you for life."
Tsunade looked at her lover, feeling blissful. This steel-straight guy had always used the war as an excuse, not deepening their bond for fear of uncertain times and inability to protect her. Finally facing his feelings—it wasn't easy.
"I do, Kato-kun. My heart is already full of you. I'm waiting for you to marry me." Tsunade shyly threw herself into his arms.
Soft jade and warm fragrance—Dan felt like he owned the world. Knowing the plot, he understood Konoha's and the ninja world's endless schemes and deceptions. Surviving alone was hard, but with the system, he had endless possibilities.
With this, he had the capital to grow stronger and better protect Tsunade.
At that moment, the system's mechanical voice rang: "Congratulations, host, on successful proposal. Awarded Hashirama's Immortal Physique (nerfed version)."
Along with it, Dan felt drastic changes in his body—hidden injuries and impurities absorbed, cells brimming with vitality.
