Tsunade’s resolve and thoughts

The person that entered the room where Nagato and Tsunade were, was a fair-skinned and slender woman of a feminine build with beautiful mesmerizing violet eyes.

Her hair was straight and reached her thighs, with shoulder-length strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left.

But the impressive thing was that it was red in color.

She was a woman of extreme beauty and was well known in the agency for it.

Her clothes stuck closely to her figure and hugged her curves and showed them perfectly. As if to further deal damage, she was also wearing stockings that tightly emphasized her thick plump thighs.

This was Kushina Uzumaki.

Tsunade chuckled as she saw the enthusiasm of this young redheaded girl.

Kushina was very close to her and they were like sisters.

Even though Kushina respected her a lot and spoke to her respectfully most of the time.

"Kushina, I need your massive amounts of chakra for this operation,"

Tsunade pointed at the table where Nagato was and was about to explain, but then Kushina exclaimed.

"Are you the recent Uzumaki everyone was talking about?"

Kushina scrutinized his form and couldn't help but exclaim once again.

She hadn't seen him personally back then since he was moving while using the pain bodies rather than his own self, so it was only natural.

"How can you be the leader of those Pains? Aren't you too scrawny?"

Her mouth was brash and her words left her mouth before she could think of something appropriate.

But as Tsunade from the side sighed in tiredness at the personality of Kushina, Nagato opened his one eye and looked at maybe the last living relative of his in this world…

He then cracked a smile.

"Now, I look better than before,"

He said calmly and enjoyed the look of shock that appeared on her face. He was indeed very slim, but she should have seen his sickly skin and frail appearance from before. Even his hair had lost its luster before.

"You look better?"

Then, how did he look before? Wasn't he like her from the same bloodline? What's the deal with him then?

But then she finally seemed to see the Rinnegan that was in the one open eye of his.

She faintly seemed to recall something she heard before.

"It's due to this?" She pointed to his eye as she seemed to understand slightly.

His reply was just a nod, and before she could talk anymore Tsunade raised her hand to shut her mouth.

"Alright, we've talked too much,"

"Now, everything is ready, and we have everything we need, we can start now,"

Kushina seemingly didn't mind too and nodded her head the same as Nagato who closed his eyes once again.

But just as Tsunade prepared to start, suddenly the slug that had been silent on her shoulder, whispered something in her ears.

Her expression changed, and Kushina noticed that.

"What's the matter, master Tsunade?"

She was a bit worried since Tsunade was someone she respected so she took her quite seriously, but in the end all Tsunade did was shake her head with a bitter smile.

"Kushina, Nagato, can we delay the start for a bit? It'll be just a few minutes…"

Kushina subconsciously nodded her head, and Nagato also concurred.

It didn't hurt to wait a few more minutes at any rate. And this was someone who was going to make the eye of the six-path sage become his. He wasn't in any position to deny her, and neither would he even if he wasn't in such a situation.

He was a changed man.

Meanwhile, Tsunade went to the nearby room and started regaining her self-composure for a bit.

'Sigh'

She was slightly down, which wasn't a good thing for her since she was bout to undergo perhaps an even longer operation on Nagato and one which wasn't easier than before, rather much harder and might result in some disastrous events.

The reason she was like this was related to her grandfather.

Hashirama wasn't a person of this generation, he was someone very old right now, way older than the old man whitebeard, as such, it had always been weird how he was able to live so far.

It had to be said that not many people in this world below Ex rank had the luxury of an enhanced lifespan as him, so many were left wondering.

It was something many questioned before, and the Senju genes alone couldn't justify that.

But how could he not know?

It was because her grandpa was a sage.

A natural one who didn't need to train to become one like Jiraiya or Minato.

That was the thing that resulted in his enhanced age, but beyond that Hashirama was injured.

It was a grave injury, and it had resulted in his body performing at only 40-50% of its usual ability, and this led to his body that was injured to deteriorate faster, and with it, the threat of death grew larger every day.

It had happened ever since that great battle with that person, and that was why her grandpa couldn't fight all the time like other SSS ranks. Much less perform as an Ex rank like he originally was.

Right now, as both of them were under a summoning contract with the slugs, he had sent her a message through it.

'Tsuna-Hime, it seems I need to go to the sage forest once again, and this time, I won't come out for a while,'

'My time is growing shorter and shorter, but it's just a swell that everything is taken care of,'

'Farewell for now, princess, and take care of Konoha for me,'

These were the message that reached her.

She knew he had been mediating ever since the war was done, and she only spoke to him briefly during that time, but now it seemed like that wasn't enough and he needed to enter the forest again.

The reason for that was the sage chakra there that could further enhance his recovery, and also one of the reasons for his enhanced age ability.

'Sigh, it seems like there's nothing to do now,'

She didn't want to think about this right now, before dealing with Nagato, but how could she control her emotions like that when this was her family?

But then just as she was downcast, a notification rang in her head.

It was All Might.

And apart from seeing what he had said, as she saw his name, she was stunned.

'That's right, this guy was healed, and not to mention him, even Whitebeard who had a more severe case was also cured… how can my grandpa not be healed too?'

But she didn't have the ability to do the same as the old man in a mission and get that healing potion.

What she can do however was related to Ren.

'That guy can add people too,'

Her eyes lit up ad she was about to send him a message right that instant.

But then she paused.

While he was sure he wouldn't refuse at all, she started considering.

'I also have an undetermined date day with him…'

Her cheeks blushed slightly as she considered and remembered what she had done with him the last time.

'This is a good chance too…'

She wanted to take the chance to get closer to the guy who had been making her dream of him day and day again.

On one end she can have her date, get closer, and maybe even get her wish and eat him fully. And on the other hand, he can add her grandpa, who would become motivated to get healed and protect Konoha and this world himself.

With that thought, her hands clenched into fists as she became motivated and happy once again.

She hurriedly sent her message t ren and then she waited for a reply.

She wasn't disappointed as it didn't take too long before it came.

It was a simple line.

-Ren: Princess Tsunade, I would love to go on a date with you,

She could feel the excitement of such a message and it brought a smile to her face as her lips faintly curled up.

"This guy is clearly also excited to continue what we had going on the last time,"

At this moment, she seemingly remembered the last message from her grandpa that he left before he entered that place to recuperate.

'Ps: You are big now, isn't it about time you get a child of your own? That Ren guy is quite a good candidate,'

She nodded her head to herself with a short smile.

'He really is quite good,'

But she then considered all the females around him and had a bitter smile.

'That's his one flaw,'

Still, with this, now it seemed that her heart was able to settle down, and she could now calm down and try to regain her doctor/surgeon state of mind before she goes to operate on Nagato.

She vaguely felt that now, she would be able to perform even better than before in this operation.
