Rebuild the Land of Whirlpools, start with a massive army of the Thirteen Guardian Soldiers.

"That's great! So Lady Tsunade is still alive!"

"But... how did Lady Tsunade get into the Land of Whirlpools?"

"Lady Tsunade...has defected to the enemy?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face also darkened; he hadn't expected Tsunade to pull such a stunt.

Now things are really messed up. Not only is Konoha destroyed, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was lost, the Scroll of Seals was taken by the Land of Whirlpools, and now they have to fight Tsunade as well.

Ugh!

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed heavily and said, "Alright, everyone go and get some rest. We'll rebuild Konoha tomorrow."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked towards the Hokage Rock, and the moment he turned around, he seemed to have aged several years.

The Konoha ninjas looked at each other, glancing at the village that was almost in ruins.

Rest? Where to rest?

Mito Uzumaki returned to the Senju base with a sorrowful expression.

Looking at the empty house, I felt a strange sense of sadness.

The Senju clan was wiped out by her gaze, and the Uzumaki clan was nearly destroyed by her silence.

Although things have improved now, she seems no longer worthy of calling herself a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Did she really do something wrong?

The Land of Whirlpools, the Seireitei.

Near the boundary gate.

Tsunade looked at the Shinigami surrounding her and said awkwardly, "Hello, everyone! Hahaha!"

"Tsunade-neechan? What are you doing here too?"

Kushina Uzumaki's questioning voice rang out.

Tsunade, however, felt as if she had seen a relative—well, a relative.

"Quick, Kushina, tell them that I'm not a bad person!"

Uzumaki Kushina: "..."

We just finished fighting Konoha, and Tsunade, you're wearing a Konoha headband—how can I say you're a good person?

Chapter 65 Tsunade: Oh no, I've become a citizen of the Land of Whirlpools!

This was assured by Kushina Uzumaki.

The Shinigami did not kill Tsunade immediately, but they bound her tightly with the fourth binding spell, the rope, and waited for the Soul King's orders.

Even on someone else's turf, Tsunade didn't do anything reckless and obediently allowed herself to be tied up.

Do you look around for the location of the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree?

Thousand Hands Rope Tree was somewhat indignant that his Flower Tree World hadn't killed this annoying fellow.

Huh? Wasn't Rope Tree supposed to be dead? How come he's in the Land of Whirlpools too? What the hell? 〇￡∩㈤∞″

Kushina Uzumaki also noticed the presence of Nawaki Senju and silently moved closer to Rukia Kuchiki.

I have a feeling that something's not quite right about the Land of Whirlpools right now!

After the Shinigami escorted Tsunade away from the Transcendental Gate, what came into view was the Seireitei.

Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki's eyes immediately went blank.

Kushina rubbed her eyes vigorously, looking as if she was seeing things.

After confirming that everything in front of her was real, she couldn't help but tug at Rukia Kuchiki's sleeve and whisper, "Rukia-neechan, did we come to the wrong place?"

This isn't the Land of Whirlpools she remembers!

Tsunade's eyes were also filled with doubt, "Hey! Did you guys misplace your space-time ninjutsu?"

Rukia Kuchiki said calmly, "That's right, this is the Land of Whirlpools."

"what?"

Tsunade was instantly dumbfounded.

Do you really think she never came to the Land of Whirlpools when she was a child?

This bustling street, this exquisite architecture, how does it resemble the Land of Whirlpools?

However, Rukia Kuchiki didn't need to explain to her. After telling the Shinigami to disperse, she took Kushina Uzumaki and Tsunade to meet the Soul King.

Chihiro Uzumaki's address.

Rukia Kuchiki bowed her head and said, "Lord Soul King, Miss Kushina has been brought here!"

"Okay, let her in."

The moment Kushina Uzumaki saw Chihiro Uzumaki, her eyes immediately turned red, and her heart finally calmed down.

She suddenly threw herself into Chihiro's arms.

Chihiro Uzumaki comforted her, "Alright, alright, we're home now."

Kushina Uzumaki sobbed softly as she recounted her life during this time.

The bewilderment when the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, the cautiousness when brought to Konoha, and the fear when informed that he would become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

While crying and talking, Kushina Uzumaki fell asleep in his arms, exhausted.

However, before closing his eyes, he said some kind words about Tsunade.

She also understood that Tsunade's ultimate fate was decided by Chihiro.

In Konoha, Tsunade treated her very well, and she didn't want to see anything happen to Tsunade.

After handing the sleeping Kushina Uzumaki over to Rukia Kuchiki, Yoruichi the Black Cat returned to her territory once again.

Rukia Kuchiki lowered her eyelids, glanced at her, and then respectfully handed the Book of Sealing to Chihiro Uzumaki.

Chihiro Uzumaki didn't check the contents of the Scroll of Seals first; instead, she said, "Bring Tsunade up."

"Yes!" Q

Soon, Tsunade was brought up by Rukia Kuchiki.

Tsunade curiously surveyed the room, then clicked her tongue in amazement. The room's luxury surpassed even that of her Senju clan.

If she were to exchange that for money, it would be enough to keep her gambling for ages!

Then she looked at the owner of the place, her beautiful eyes widening instantly. (9)

That face, both strange and familiar, instantly brought back memories for her.

"Chihiro Uzumaki!"

When I was little, I went to the Land of Whirlpools a few times with Grandma Mito, and Chihiro Uzumaki played with her there.

We were childhood playmates, too.

Now, things have completely changed. Chihiro Uzumaki has become the Spirit King of the Land of Whirlpools, and she has become his prisoner. (II)

Chihiro Uzumaki glanced at Tsunade, especially at the highly artistic way she was bound, which made him stare at her a few more times.

"Long time no see, Tsunade. You've changed quite a bit." (Ling)

Tsunade glanced down at her already prominent but now even more so due to the rope binding her breasts, and her ears turned red. She glared fiercely at Chihiro Uzumaki.

Because of her memories of playing with Chihiro Uzumaki, she wasn't too unfamiliar with her and went straight to the point: "Hey, what exactly happened to Nawaki?"

Chihiro Uzumaki chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, but this concerns the secrets of my Land of Whirlpools, so I cannot disclose that information."

See people talking, see ghosts talking.

If it were Orochimaru, Chihiro Uzumaki would not only tell him, but would also think he didn't know enough and force him to learn about the Land of Whirlpools.

That way, Orochimaru would be willing to come to the Land of Whirlpools to work out of his curiosity about it.

However, Tsunade was different; she wasn't curious about the souls of the Land of Whirlpools.

Therefore, Chihiro Uzumaki didn't need to explain too much to her.

Chihiro Uzumaki propped her head up with her hand, stroked Yoruichi, and said casually, "Is there anything else? If not, as a friend, I can arrange a nice prison cell for you."

Tsunade's lips twitched. "Is this how you take care of your friends?"

She said unwillingly, "Can't you let me take Rope Tree back to Konoha?"

"What do you think?"

Chihiro Uzumaki calmly said, "Don't forget, you are now just a prisoner of the Land of Whirlpools. The Land of Whirlpools is not a place you can come and go as you please."

Besides, Nawaki is now a citizen of my Land of Whirlpools; he won't go back with you.

Tsunade's eyes darkened; she truly had no right to make demands of Chihiro Uzumaki.

Besides, she thought about Nawaki's attitude towards her...

This matter must be clarified!

She recalled Orochimaru's words: were all the secrets hidden in this suddenly rising, yet mysterious, Land of Whirlpools...?
