Chapter 189: Tsunade

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! Reward plundered: Superhuman Strength! ]

...

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! Reward plundered: Chakra +1! ]

...

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! Reward plundered: Senju Clan Body! ]

...

When Orochimaru led Tsunade to find Mirai, the latter was sparring against Senju Hashirama in a pure taijutsu bout.

Neither of them used ninjutsu or their kekkei genkai, it was a straightforward exchange of fists and kicks.

Standing nearby with arms crossed, Tobirama watched casually, humming an unfamiliar tune under his breath.

Boom!

With a resounding crash, Hashirama's body shattered under a punch from Uchiha Mirai.

"Mirai, you're truly amazing. Your strength now is nothing short of terrifying," Hashirama remarked, his body swiftly regenerating as he spoke, his tone filled with admiration.

Days of training with Mirai had taught him one thing: Uchiha Mirai was a talent the ninja world had never seen before.

With such overwhelming power, Mirai's goals were bound to become reality.

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host! Reward plundered: Physique +1! ]

Hearing the system's notification, Mirai's expression remained unchanged.

Although he hadn't received the reward he most desired, he had still gained plenty from training with Hashirama.

Superhuman strength was just the beginning. The Senju Clan's Body had been the most satisfying prize so far.

He had already plundered the Uzumaki Clan's Body from Kushina and now had the Senju Body as well.

Combined with Jūgo's natural energy affinity and the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku, Mirai felt that he was only one step away from achieving the perfect Sage Body.

"Mirai-kun, I hope I'm not interrupting?" Orochimaru's raspy voice broke Mirai's thoughts and brought him back to reality.

Looking up, Mirai's gaze shifted to the blonde woman standing beside Orochimaru.

Her figure was voluptuous, like the ripe harvest of autumn, exuding a unique allure.

Her fair skin was as pale as snow, accentuating her graceful neck and swan-like posture.

Above her collarbone, her pink lips, sharp nose, and fiery eyes completed the striking image.

Wait, why did she look so angry?

While Mirai was still confused, Tsunade gritted her teeth and snapped, "You little punk, where are you looking?!"

Mirai pouted dismissively. "Tch—fine, I won't look."

He lowered his gaze but let his eyes linger on her slender ankles and toes, a faint red flush adding a charming touch to her fair skin.

Mirai wasn't picky. He simply had an eye for beauty.

Tsunade noticed his gaze shifting downward, and her expression grew strange.

Although Mirai was now staring at a seemingly innocuous spot, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was still being ogled.

Orochimaru seized the moment to introduce her. "Mirai, this is Tsunade, my former teammate."

Mirai had already guessed her identity, so he simply nodded indifferently.

Standing nearby, both Hashirama and Tobirama froze in shock, their mouths agape.

"Tsunade?"

"You're Tsunade!"

Tsunade's eyes widened as she took a closer look. "Grandfather! Second Granduncle!"

Hashirama and Tobirama broke into wide grins, walking up to her and patting her head.

"Little Tsunade, you've grown so much! Hahaha!" Hashirama laughed heartily.

Hearing his warm laughter, Tsunade's eyes reddened. "Grandfather, the Senju Clan... Nawaki... they're all…"

Hashirama sighed deeply. "Tsunade, it's all in the past. Things will get better."

Even Tobirama, who was typically reserved, couldn't help but soften. "It was my mistake. My actions back then were too extreme."

Tsunade shook her head and quickly changed the subject.

"Grandfather, Second Granduncle, why are you here?"

Tobirama snorted. "It's all because of this damn... this Uchiha brat."

Hashirama chuckled. "Mirai's Mangekyō Sharingan has a unique ability. We're helping him grow stronger."

Tsunade immediately understood. She had heard rumors of Uchiha Mirai's ability to copy even kekkei genkai.

So, he must be after the power of Wood Release.

But even so, using such methods was unacceptable!

"Uchiha Mirai, how dare you disturb the dead like this?" Tsunade said coldly.

Before Mirai could reply, Hashirama interjected. "Tsunade, it's all voluntary. Mirai rescued Konoha from Sarutobi Hiruzen. Show him some respect."

Unconvinced, Tsunade glared at Mirai. After all, this was the same lecherous brat who had ogled her the moment they met. Why should she be polite?

Seeing the defiance in her eyes, Mirai smirked.

Feisty.

That's what makes it interesting...

"Tell me, Tsunade, what's been going on with you all these years?" Hashirama asked, sitting cross-legged.

Having spent time with Mirai, he knew the boy's routine: one fight a day was enough. The rest of the time, they were free.

Tsunade was his beloved granddaughter. He was eager to hear about her life after his death.

Encouraged by Hashirama, Tsunade recounted her adventures, picking out the highlights.

When she mentioned her gambling exploits, earning the nickname "Big Fat Sheep" in casinos across the ninja world, Hashirama burst into hearty laughter.

"You truly are my granddaughter! That's just like me!"

Tsunade sighed, unsure why he was so proud of that.

Watching their joyful reunion, Mirai and Orochimaru quietly left, not wanting to disrupt the moment.

"Mirai-kun," Orochimaru said, "I'll be quite busy soon. If you need anything, feel free to reach out."

With access to Konoha's advanced equipment and rare materials, Orochimaru was eager to dive into his research.

Mirai nodded with a smile. "Are the lab supplies sufficient? Should I get you more advanced equipment?"

Orochimaru chuckled. "Mirai-kun, it's already more than enough. I've never had such abundant resources before."

"Let me know if you need anything," Mirai replied.

"Understood."

After parting ways with Orochimaru, Mirai headed toward the Hokage's office.

From a distance, he spotted a woman in a nun's habit waiting outside.

Seeing him approach, she looked visibly excited. "Mirai-sama!"

"Nonō? What brings you here?" Mirai asked, raising an eyebrow.

Nonō Yakushi adjusted her glasses and bowed slightly. "Lord Mirai, may I ask for your help with something?"

Mirai glanced at the sky and nodded. "It's about time for dinner. Let's talk over a meal."

"Yes, of course."

As Mirai walked ahead, Nonō quickly followed, her gaze filled with hope.
