Naruto in the Footage?!
Just as the ANBU were about to make a move on Orochimaru—
A new name lit up on the Summoned Beast Ranking.
[Rank 14, Summoned Beast: Katsuyu!]
"Lady Tsunade, you made it onto the list!"
Shizune shouted toward the bath.
"Coming!"
Tsunade walked out wrapped in a bath towel—
and if any man were present, they would've cried out BIG! BIG! BIG!
She had just finished a ritual bath with incense, praying for a blessing.
What blessing?
Better luck.
Winning streaks.
An end to her cursed gambling luck.
A chance to erase her title as the 'Legendary Sucker.'
[Summoner: Tsunade
Reward: Summoning restrictions removed — Katsuyu can now be summoned without chakra limits.
Healing ability increased by 100x.]
"Congratulations, Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune was thrilled.
Tsunade, however, collapsed to the floor in despair—
not even noticing her towel slipping.
"No way… I prayed so sincerely!
Why didn't I get a luck boost?!"
Konoha
"That's the legendary Sannin—Lady Tsunade!"
"We have four people on the list now! Konoha really IS the strongest!"
Tsunade's appearance instantly revived the spirits of Konoha's villagers, who had been depressed after Hiruzen's pathetic "great achievement."
Pure Land
[Hashirama Senju: Oh my! It's little Tsunade!
Mito! Little brother! Madara! Come look—my granddaughter's on the list!
I finally get to see her! I wonder if she's grown up?]
(She has. Absolutely.)
[Tobirama: Big brother, calm down! Everyone's watching. She's only ranked 14—don't embarrass yourself.]
[Mito: Well done, Tsunade! As expected of our granddaughter.]
[Madara: Tch. What's so impressive? Only 14th.]
This came from a man certain his Nine-Tails contract guaranteed him first place.
[Mito: Hah! Someone sounds jealous. What's wrong, single dog?]
[Madara: Hmph. I won't argue with someone who has no taste.]
Madara felt… uncomfortable.
Every time he thought of Hashirama having a child with someone else—
His chest hurt.
After all—
He once personally tried to stop Hashirama's marriage by courting Mito himself.
He failed, of course.
[Mito: Madara, you calling me tasteless?
Did you forget how you tried to court me back then?]
[Rasa: WHAT THE—?!
MADARA courted Lady Mito?!]
[Third Raikage A: Is that TRUE?! Lord Madara, respond!!]
[Second Mizukage: Eating melon. Delicious. Continue.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Brother!!!
Is it true?! I thought I was your favorite!
I'm HEARTBROKEN! Waaaaaah!!]
The Pure Land exploded into chaos.
Madara—
did not refute.
Thus—
He silently CONFIRMED it.
Konoha
After hearing Tsunade's reward, Orochimaru's expression shifted slightly.
As one of the Sannin, he knew all too well—
The Katsuyu Tsunade used before was just a tiny fragment.
With the chakra limit removed…
She could summon the full-sized Katsuyu.
And that was terrifying.
Golden light erupted again as the scroll projected another massive screen.
Footage was about to begin—
Tsunade's summoned-beast battle footage.
Kirigakure
"Haha, the so-called strongest Hokage flopped disastrously.
I wonder if Tsunade—one of the Sannin—will also flop?"
Mei Terumi looked excited—clearly eager for drama.
Somewhere Else
"Tsunade, huh? Haven't seen her in a long time… brings back memories."
Jiraiya put away a yellow-covered book with a sigh.
(Yes, THAT yellow book.)
The footage began.
[Inside a tavern, Tsunade sat drunkenly at a table.]
["Boss, another bottle!"]
She was drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
Beside her, Shizune looked worried but helpless.
Pure Land
[Hashirama: YOU GUYS LOOK!
Little Tsunade! Little Tsunade!
She's grown up! AND SHE'S HUGE! I'M SO HAPPY!!]
[Mito: Yes, our little Tsunade has grown beautifully.]
[Madara: Hashirama you idiot—of course she grew up! Years passed!
Do you expect her to stay a toddler forever?]
[Izuna: Brother! Brother! Don't argue with the fool! Brother!]
[Madara: You're right, Izuna. No need to lower myself.]
[Mito: Aww, hear that? The sour smell of jealousy.
Oh—it's coming from the single dog again~]
Konoha
Lee: "So that's the legendary Lady Tsunade?"
Sakura: "She looks so young!"
Hinata: "And so beautiful… I'm jealous…"
Naruto: "Lady Tsunade must be super powerful!
One day I'll be like the Sannin and become Hokage!"
Sasuke examined Tsunade silently, wondering whether she or Orochimaru was stronger.
Shikamaru sighed, looking at her with his classic "I see through everything" expression.
"Tch. She's already in her fifties.
Still pretty, sure—but still an old lady."
Kirigakure
"Hmph. Pretending to be young at her age… shameless."
Mei Terumi scowled.
Tsunade was older, yet still more beautiful and curvier than her—
Unacceptable.
The footage continued.
[Jiraiya entered the tavern with Naruto.]
