For the next two years, Dan Kato endured the most unbearable horrors of his life!
"Ah! My arm!" he screamed in agony.
Tsunade, her eyes cold and ruthless, smirked. "Mitotic Regeneration!"
"Ah! My leg!" Dan cried again, his voice cracking with pain.
"Mitotic Regeneration!" Tsunade repeated, her tone unwavering.
"Ah, my—!"
"Heavenly Kick of Pain!!"
Dan was left utterly speechless, his body broken beyond repair.
Finally, on a stormy night, he clutched an Anbu by the collar, his eyes hollow. "You sadistic monster, just kill me already! Give me another breath so I can curse you one last time!"
By the time Tsunade arrived, Dan's body was cold.
His teammate awkwardly handed over a crumpled note. It read: "Help me submit my final report."
Tsunade stood silent, her fingers tightening around the paper.
"This poor bastard... how many times has he been shut down in two years? And still, I couldn't save him..." She sighed deeply, though whether it was from sorrow or exhaustion, no one could tell.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world...
"What is our ultimate goal?!" Yahiko shouted, his voice echoing through the crowd of ninjas before him.
"No cavities!—uh, I mean, world peace!" the followers responded enthusiastically.
Yahiko nodded in satisfaction. "Naruto's corporate culture really is something. Just wait! Our Akatsuki organization will be the biggest in the shinobi world, dominating every village! We'll marry rich women and live like kings!"
Nagato, standing beside him, remained silent but couldn't help admiring Yahiko's energy.
Konan, however, had chosen a different path. She had let Naruto take her away, insisting that girls shouldn't involve themselves in such dangerous affairs. More than victory, her priority was survival.
Watching all this unfold from a distance, Zetsu couldn't help but scratch his chin. "Hmm... It all sounds so noble and logical... but why does this feel more like a cult than a revolution?"
At this time, Naruto and Konan were experimenting with a new type of paper-based ninjutsu.
"Look, Konan." Naruto held up a metal tube, stuffing gunpowder and small iron balls inside. With a quick Fire Style jutsu, he ignited the charge, launching an iron ball through the air. It struck a tree, leaving a hole clean through the trunk.
"See? Gunpowder can propel metal. Now imagine using exploding tags in a controlled manner instead of raw fire. We could push bullets out of this device without destroying it! This would revolutionize combat!"
Naruto pulled out a few prototype cartridges and held them up. "Now, if we load these into a shuriken launcher, the explosion will trigger at the right moment, sending them out with the speed of sound!"
Konan stared in awe as Naruto handed her a modified paper kunai launcher.
"I call this weapon the Desert Eagle! Made just for you!"
Konan beamed. "Thank you, Naruto! But... why 'Desert Eagle'? It rains all the time here. There's no desert."
"Ahem." Naruto coughed awkwardly. "Okay, okay, you can call it 'Rainy Night Roar' if you want."
"Nope! Desert Eagle sounds way cooler!" Konan said, hugging the golden weapon.
"Now for the real fun part!" Naruto grinned, pulling out a massive collection of weapons from a summoning scroll.
"This is the AK-47. Built to withstand multiple detonations without breaking! And this?" He held up a cluster bomb, grinning. "This baby—let's just call it Bullet—can pierce anything with an explosive impact."
Then, he pulled out an enormous shoulder-mounted weapon. "This... is an RPG. Load a specially modified detonating tag in here, fire, and BOOM! Instant destruction! Even those clad in chakra-infused iron won't survive!"
Konan touched the RPG reverently, her eyes sparkling. "Naruto, you're a genius! The applications of Paper Release just got a hundred times deadlier!"
At that moment, a desperate flare shot up into the sky.
Naruto's face darkened. "That's a distress signal... ?"
Instantly, he turned to Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan. His tone became deadly serious.
"Listen up. Be careful with Hanzo. I had planned to guide you through things step by step, but we're out of time. I have to leave. From now on, you must rely on your own strength."
Before he left, he activated a Genjutsu, pulling Konan into an illusionary space where no one else could hear.
"Konan, this is crucial. Be wary of Hanzo. More importantly... be cautious of a man who calls himself Uchiha Madara."
Konan's eyes widened. "Uchiha Madara?! But he's been dead for decades!"
"I don't care what he calls himself—trust me, he's dangerous. Keep this between us. Watch over Yahiko and Nagato from the shadows. If anything happens to them, head straight to Konoha and find Tsunade. She'll know what to do."
When Konan came to, Naruto was already turning away.
"This country is still poor," he said over his shoulder. "Change it with your own strength."
"Thank you... sensei," they whispered behind him.
And in a blink, Naruto vanished, sprinting toward the battlefield at full speed.
Meanwhile, Tsunade was exhausted and cornered inside a cave, surrounded by Stone ninjas.
"Earth Style: Stone Bullet Barrage! Let it rain!" dozens of enemy shinobi shouted as the cave walls began to crack.
Tsunade gritted her teeth. "How the hell did my location get exposed?! Who betrayed me?!"
A certain old man's face flashed in her mind, and she clenched her fists.
"Damn it!" She punched the rock wall in frustration, leaving a massive crater in the cave.
At that moment, a massive explosion roared outside, followed by the terrified screams of her enemies.
"Lightning Style: Kirin!"
A brilliant flash of light illuminated the cave entrance. When the dust settled, a shadowy figure leaned lazily against the broken rocks.
"Yo, isn't this our lovely Princess Tsunade? What a mess you've gotten yourself into."
Tsunade's breath hitched. That voice.
Five years. Five damn years.
Her vision blurred, and she lunged at Naruto, burying her fists into his chest.
"Five years! And you didn't even bother to visit?!"
She kept hitting him, but Naruto simply laughed, catching her wrists mid-swing.
"Careful, princess. You still pack a punch. But don't worry... Daddy's home."
Tsunade growled, eyes burning. "Shut up and take responsibility!"
Naruto smirked, brushing off the dirt. "Heh. I'll take responsibility, alright. But first—let's wipe these bastards off the map."
Tsunade cracked her knuckles, a deadly grin spreading across her face. "Now you're talking."
The battle had only just begun.
