Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

Late at night.

The noise of the wedding banquet had long since dissipated, and even the moon had hidden behind the clouds, as if it dared not disturb the people in the room.

Tsunade leaned against the headboard, wearing a loose silk nightgown. Her long golden hair was draped over her shoulders, washing away the fatigue of the day and the majesty of the Hokage, leaving only a touch of languid femininity.

Qian Xuan was sitting on the edge of the bed, carefully holding her pair of jade feet and pressing them with just the right amount of force.

Tsunade's feet were beautiful; every curve was like a masterpiece of nature. Now, they were held in his palm, smooth and warm like jade.

"Is it comfortable?"

"Um."

Tsunade let out a soft hum through her nose as a response.

She squinted slightly, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

For the past three years, she has been like a wound-up machine, handling countless affairs brought about by Konoha's explosive development, her nerves constantly on edge.

It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed.

"Tsunade."

Qianxuan's hands didn't stop moving.

"Let's go out for a walk in a few days after the handover of village affairs is completed."

Tsunade opened her eyes, somewhat surprised.

"Where to?"

"Wherever you want to go, we'll go."

Qianxuan raised his head and looked at her.

"For the past three years, you haven't left the village. The ninja world is so vast; there must be scenery you haven't seen before. How about going to the Land of Snow to see the aurora borealis? Or to the Land of Water to see the ocean?"

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Yes, she had almost forgotten that she was once a free spirit who traveled the world and always lost at gambling.

But now, the entire ninja world feels like his backyard, and his so-called travels always feel like something is missing.

"May I?"

She asked the question instinctively, then laughed self-deprecatingly.

Asking whether this man is safe or not is a joke in itself.

"certainly."

Qianxuan smiled and increased the pressure on his hands, making Tsunade groan comfortably.

He thought for a moment, then said in a very casual tone:

"I'm terrifyingly strong now. Forget about a few petty villains, even if that legendary Sage of Six Paths jumped out now, I could grab him by the neck with one hand and ask him if he submits."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

This guy, he hadn't been quiet for more than a few days, and now he's talking nonsense again.

Don't believe me?

Qianxuan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"I'm serious. Oh, no, I'm not qualified to be the Sage of Six Paths."

He hesitated for a moment, seemingly searching for a more suitable point of reference.

"To put it another way, even if it were the Sage of Six Paths' mother, who could slap everyone into an illusion, I could suppress her with one hand."

"..."

The contentment on Tsunade's face froze.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

The Sage of Six Paths'...mother?

What the hell is that?

Is there such a character in mythology?

She looked at Qian Xuan's serious face; he didn't seem to be joking. A feeling of absurdity mixed with a touch of dread rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Qianxuan, this world is far more complex than you imagine." Qianxuan put down her feet, sat down beside her, and took her hand. "The history of ninjas didn't begin with the Senju and Uchiha clans."

Tsunade didn't speak, she just listened quietly.

She knew that this man was about to uncover some secrets that she had never encountered before, secrets that truly belonged to the core of this world.

"Long, long ago, the concept of chakra didn't exist on this land. Until one day, a woman from beyond the heavens descended upon this place."

Qianxuan's voice was flat, as if he were telling a story that had nothing to do with himself.

"Her name is Kaguya Otsutsuki. She ate a fruit from the Divine Tree and became the first person to possess chakra, who later became the Goddess of the Rabbit. She used a technique called 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' to turn all humans at that time into living energy sources, which is what I told you about before... White Zetsu."

Tsunade's pupils contracted slightly.

"Kaguya had two sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, who inherited their mother's power. Later, unable to accept their mother's actions, they joined forces to seal her away; that seal is the moon in the sky."

"Hagoromo is the Sage of Six Paths, as you know him. He distributed the power he took from his mother, the chakra of the Ten-Tails, to the world, thus founding Ninshu. This is the origin of ninjas."

Qianxuan finished speaking in one breath, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

Tsunade's brain was buzzing.

Creation myths, the origin of chakra, the truth about White Zetsu, the origin of the Sage of Six Paths...

The amount of information contained in these few words is greater and more revolutionary than the sum of her decades of life.

"How...how did you know all this?"

She felt her voice was somewhat dry.

"I have my own way of doing things."

Qianxuan didn't elaborate, but simply smiled mysteriously.

"Moreover, I can summon it and show it to you in person."

"Take it?"

"Kaguya's third son, Black Zetsu."

Qianxuan's tone carried a hint of amusement.

"A 'filial son' who plotted for over a thousand years in the shadows of ninja history in order to revive his mother."

"In the past three years, I've had nothing better to do than fool it. It probably still thinks I'm the reincarnation of Kaguya's soul, its only hope for realizing its millennium plan."

Tsunade: "..."

Looking at the man before her, she suddenly felt that those shadows he could crush with a single finger might actually be considered lucky.

At least, they only lost their fortune.

That unlucky guy named Black Zetsu will probably be swindled out of even his underwear by this man.

She leaned on Qianxuan's shoulder, digesting the shocking information that shattered her worldview. After a long while, she finally let out a long breath.

"So, our future enemy will be... a 'god' from outer space?"

"Maybe."

Qianxuan shrugged indifferently.

"But don't worry, no matter how many come, I'll kill them all."

Tsunade raised her head and looked at his calm profile, at the confidence in his dark eyes that seemed to put the whole world under his feet.

She suddenly realized that she had never truly understood this man.

Or perhaps, it's not even necessary to understand it.

All she needs to know is that the man who can massage her feet and support her through thick and thin is her husband.

She remained silent for a long time.

The atmosphere in the room gradually shifted from its previous somber tone to a more ambiguous one.

Tsunade suddenly raised her hand and gently stroked Sengen's cheek. Her beautiful brown eyes were filled with tears, carrying an indescribable meaning.

"Qian Xuan".

"Um?"

Tsunade leaned close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Starting today, you don't need to wear a condom anymore."
