Pamphlet Street
"Okay, let's stop here!"
A striking figure with fiery red hair stood at the gate of the small town on Baanchu Street. She gazed up at the plaque above, a gleam flashing in her eyes like the shimmer of water, before speaking calmly.
This person was wearing a blue shirt and modern black low-heeled sandals.
Her light yellow double ponytails were casually draped behind her back, and the blue robe she wore swayed in the wind.
On her forehead, there was a blue-purple diamond-shaped mark, adding to her unique charm.
Her pretty face had brown eyes that sparkled with various emotions, and her attractive red lips made her all the more captivating.
The woman's outfit was simple yet elegant, and beneath her indifferent appearance, there was an aura of natural grace and confidence that exuded pride.
The way she carried herself, embracing everything with poise, silently communicated her strength!
Oh, and the emerald green necklace resting in the cracks of her attire... well, it spoke volumes about who she was.
It was none other than the legendary Tsunade, one of the Three Legendary Ninjas!
"Yeah... This whole town is a casino..."
Shizune, who was standing beside her, exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide and body trembling.
"Well, it's true. Pamphlet Street," Tsunade replied, her nose slightly raised. She waved her hand dismissively and continued walking, "Don't make such a fuss. Let's go, Shizune."
With each confident step, Tsunade's graceful body caught the attention of those nearby, making it hard to look away.
A Hotel
"I didn't expect you to come so soon, Big Tsunade..."
Naruto, who had been resting after his morning exercises, suddenly opened his eyes and murmured to himself as he looked in one direction.
His pupils suddenly turned pure white...
"Naruto, who do you think is coming?"
Sakura, still slightly dazed, asked softly.
"Well, I said if you didn't leave, Sako would come over," Naruto replied with a teasing smile, his eyes twinkling.
"Sako?!"
Sakura, startled by the name, immediately regained her senses. She quickly packed up her things, ready to run off.
She wasn't scared of Sako, but she did feel a bit embarrassed. Naruto's mixed signals—neither taking initiative nor rejecting her—made her feel confused. After all, she was just a girl in the bloom of love, caught off guard by the situation!
"Now that you're here, let's get started."
Naruto, after Sakura had left, looked toward Tsunade with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Big Tsunade, I've been looking forward to this for a long time..." He quickly got dressed and headed out.
Meanwhile...
"Master Orochimaru, according to the information, this is the town where Naruto is located."
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses as he stood outside Pamphlet Street, pointing toward the town ahead and speaking respectfully.
"Dou, you can go back now!"
A flicker of excitement appeared in Orochimaru's amber-colored snake-like eyes as he glanced at the town without blinking. He gave the command without turning around.
"Yes, Master Orochimaru..."
Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head slightly, confusion flashing in his eyes. He couldn't understand why Orochimaru was so focused on Naruto.
But Orochimaru didn't care about Kabuto's thoughts. He had come to fulfill his agreement with Naruto.
The Mangekyō Sharingan—Orochimaru was eager to obtain it!
But even more so, he was interested in Naruto's secret.
For days, Orochimaru had been working tirelessly on researching Uchiha's resurrection, yet he hadn't made any progress.
Now, his focus was back on Naruto.
Inside a Casino
As soon as Tsunade entered the casino, she found herself completely absorbed in it, unable to extricate herself.
Naruto, who was in a nearby box, could only sigh in exasperation. He had seen this happen many times before...
This reckless girl—ordinary people couldn't handle her style. Every moment in her presence was like watching someone go bankrupt.
Under Tsunade's outrageous luck, she quickly lost her fortune, emptying her cash box in no time.
"It's so unlucky... Gone, Tone," Tsunade muttered, a frown forming on her face. She tossed the money box to Shizune, clearly frustrated, and turned to leave.
Shizune, her loyal follower, trailed behind her, thinking about where she could borrow money with a sad expression on her face.
This was a typical day for Shizune—constantly losing in the game of money.
A Mysterious Voice
"Miss Tsunade, do you need money...?"
Just as Shizune was lost in thought, a voice broke the silence, causing both her and Tsunade to look up in surprise.
They turned to see that the voice had come from the box next door.
"You know my name!"
Tsunade smiled confidently, raising her chin. "Shizune, it seems there's business here."
She motioned for Shizune to follow her inside.
Over the years, Tsunade had taken on some personal commissions to earn money for her gambling habit.
But because of her unbeatable luck, she never really managed to make any profit.
"You can go in alone!"
As Shizune opened the door, Tsunade stepped into the box. Another voice immediately came from inside.
Tsunade and Shizune had long grown accustomed to situations like this, and without giving it much thought, Shizune took the initiative to close the door and wait outside.
If Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, couldn't protect herself, then Shizune would give her the opportunity to do so...
"You are, uh..."
Tsunade walked through the screen and into the box, only to find a blond boy staring at her with fiery eyes.
Seeing the unusually familiar face, Tsunade was momentarily stunned. She could only say two words before a scarlet flash appeared before her eyes, and her consciousness became chaotic.
In Naruto's eyes, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated.
It was the permanent Distinguished Heavenly Gods copied from Shisui's technique, launched without hesitation!
That's right. Naruto had decided to leave Tsunade with the permanent Distinguished Heavenly Gods—just like that, without any preliminaries.
If it were someone like Sakura, Hinata, or Temari, Naruto could play emotional games with them and slowly build a relationship for his harem.
With women like Yūhi Kurenai and Terumi Mei, he could mix routines with feelings and gradually add them to his harem.
But a woman like Tsunade, who had experienced the many hardships of the ninja world, could only be dealt with through extraordinary measures.
Tsunade, despite her experience, had distinct personality traits. She was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
Even with previous generations, Naruto would employ special methods when things were difficult.
Naruto was confident, but not arrogant.
In a split second, a strange color flashed in Tsunade's pupils, but her expression quickly returned to normal.
"Naruto, I finally see you again! After all these years, do you know how I've lived? Wuu wuu wuu..."
Tsunade, having regained her composure, saw Naruto and immediately threw herself at him, crying uncontrollably.
Naruto, who had mentally prepared for this scene, was still somewhat surprised!
He braced himself for the impact of her emotional outburst...
He had used the Distinguished Heavenly Gods to manipulate Tsunade's feelings, transforming her into a lover of his own in his 3.0 version.
Naruto had gone back in time using a time machine to sever Kato Dan's connection to Tsunade, and that was why Tsunade was reacting this way.
Now, Tsunade's excitement was understandable.
As for Kato Dan, there was nothing between him and Tsunade—Naruto had a lot to say about that!
Outside the box, Shizune, who had been waiting, was feeling confused.
Why hadn't Tsunade come out for such a long time after entering?
However, the ninja world's hierarchical structure restrained Shizune from overstepping her bounds, so she stayed put, not daring to interfere.
She believed that if there were any issues, Tsunade would react swiftly and decisively.
There was no need to worry about security.
Maybe Tsunade just ran into an old acquaintance and was having a pleasant chat. It was probably nothing to worry about.
Yes, that must be it...
