XX-level Hokage

"Lady Tsunade, you must have heard of the Reincarnation Technique, a forbidden jutsu that can summon the dead to the present world. If you're willing, Lady Tsunade, I can help you. As for the vessel, how about using your two creditors?" Mashiro said mysteriously.

"Enough!" Tsunade slammed her fist on the table, making the mahjong tiles vibrate slightly. "Let's just end this game already." Tsunade was incredibly frustrated.

"I seem to have noticed that Lady Tsunade seems to care more about Nawaki than Dan. Is it because of the deep bond between siblings, or because Lady Tsunade's relationship with Dan is not as close as expected?" Mashiro continued, not letting Tsunade off the hook.

"Who exactly are you?" Tsunade stared coldly at Mashiro, a huge question swirling in her mind: was this person really Hyuga Mashiro? "Senior sister, although you might not believe it, I am indeed Hyuga Mashiro," Mashiro said helplessly to Tsunade.

“However, I also have another name, Uchiha Zero!” After saying this with a sigh, Mashiro instantly calmed down and looked at Tsunade softly.

Upon hearing the name Uchiha Zero, some memories that Tsunade had deliberately hidden began to flood back into her mind. "You..." Tsunade was about to say something when she found herself unable to utter a word.

Mashiro stood up, placing her hands on Tsunade's shoulders, and in an instant, the entire surrounding scenery changed.

This was a large, luxurious, and completely unfamiliar room. Tsunade was sitting in a chair in front of the dressing table, with a huge mirror in front of her and a pair of hands combing her hair.

"Tsunade seems a bit down lately. Is she still worried about Jiraiya's disappearance?" A male voice came from behind.

Looking through the mirror, Tsunade saw the person behind her. He was an extremely handsome man, so handsome that he was almost effeminate. At that moment, the man was smiling as he combed her hair.

"Wasn't I just playing mahjong with Hyuga Mashiro? How did I end up here?" Tsunade's mind was in complete chaos, but she realized that she seemed to...

Unable to control their own body, unable to make a sound or move.

The man gently stroked Tsunade's face and said tenderly, "You've lost some weight recently."

Sensing the man's movements and looking at his face, Tsunade felt a strange mix of fear and a peculiar attachment. She pondered everything about him, and suddenly, a thought struck her: Uchiha Zero, he was Uchiha Zero.

Just as Tsunade thought of that name, she found herself able to move and seemingly speak again. "You..." Tsunade started to say something, but seeing Uchiha Zero's face, a strong sense of unease prevented her from speaking. "You've been acting strange lately, Tsunade." Uchiha Zero reached out and touched her head.

Instantly, that strange feeling of attachment surged through Tsunade's body again; her body desperately craved the embrace of the man before her. Uchiha Zero seemed to sense this longing as well, and gently pulled Tsunade into his arms.

Feeling the unfamiliar temperature, Tsunade gradually regained consciousness, wondering what she had been doing before. Uchiha Zero carried Tsunade to the bed.

Tsunade wanted to resist, but her body was inexplicably excited.

Meanwhile, in the inn, Tsunade, who was playing mahjong with Mashiro, suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed on the table. Mashiro picked Tsunade up and placed her on the bed in her room.

This is the effect of the drug. Yesterday, when we were playing the first game of mahjong at the casino, Mashiro secretly instructed the owner to bring over a pot of tea. There was nothing wrong with the tea itself. As one of the top medical ninjas, Tsunade has an extremely strong sense of drugs, and it would be impossible to administer the drug by ordinary means.

Therefore, Mashiro used another method: a pot of tea that was perfectly safe to drink and a piece of cake that was perfectly safe to eat. When combined, they produced a hallucinogenic effect. This method was taught to her by Tsunade herself in her previous life.

With the hallucinogen and Mashiro constantly disrupting Tsunade's emotions, Tsunade eventually fell into the memories of Zero Uchiha's dreams under Mashiro's guidance.

Looking at the sleeping Tsunade, especially her ample bosom, Mashiro finally reached out to touch it. "Still as magnificent as in my previous life."

After saying that, Mashiro left a note and walked out.

Chapter 47: The Tale of Tsunade, the Fire Princess (Part 5)

"Mashiro! Mashiro! Lady Tsunade! Lady Tsunade!" Shizune returned to the inn and found that Mashiro and Tsunade were gone. Shizune went to Tsunade's room and found Tsunade sitting on the bed, looking extremely dejected.

"Oh, it's Shizune." Tsunade looked up at Shizune and said. "What's wrong, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked with concern.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something. You can go out now, I want to be alone." Tsunade said hoarsely. The hallucinogen in Shinji had caused Tsunade to have strong hallucinations, and she had unknowingly sunk into a dream she didn't want to remember. After listening, Shizune glanced at Tsunade with some concern and walked out of the room.

Shizune sat on the sofa, still feeling a bit confused. What exactly did True Confession and Lady Tsunade talk about?

Just then, Ton-Ton climbed onto Shizune's body, whimpering softly, clearly worried about her owner. "Let's go for a walk and let Lady Tsunade have some peace and quiet," Shizune said, picking up Ton-Ton and leaving the inn.

In Tanabata Street, Shizune was strolling around with Ton-Ton in her arms. Because she had no money, she could only look at most things. At that moment, a pair of hands covered her eyes.

Guess who I am?

Just as Shizune was about to scream, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Mashiro, stop fooling around." Shizune grabbed the hand covering her eyes and turned to look at him.

But what she saw was not Zhenbai, but a handsome young man. He was incredibly good-looking and saw that she was holding his hand. Jingyin's face turned bright red, and she quickly let go, bowing and apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else, I'm so sorry."

Suddenly, the handsome man laughed, and with a "whoosh," the smoke dissipated, revealing him as Mashiro. "Haha, Shizune is really easily embarrassed and quite absent-minded, how amusing," Mashiro said with a smile, having deactivated the transformation.

Shizune was completely stunned. After she came to her senses, her face turned even redder. "So white!"

Mashiro blocked Shizune's hand from pinching her cheek and changed the subject, saying, "Why are you wandering around the streets all by yourself again?" Tonton started humming again, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Mashiro's statement that she was "alone."

"What an adorable little pig!" Mashiro took the piglet from the Silent Monster and gently stroked it. The piglet comfortably raised its head.

"Speaking of which, right after you talked with Lady Tsunade, for some reason, Lady Tsunade suddenly wanted to be alone, and she looked very depressed. I was also a bit bored in the inn by myself, so I brought Tonton out with me. Did something happen?" Shizune asked.

"Oh, well, didn't I say that my mission in Tanabata was related to Tsunade? I told Tsunade about the mission, so that's probably why," Mashiro replied.

"What kind of mission is it? Of course, if it's something private, don't tell me. I don't want to put Mashiro in a difficult position," Shizune said.

"It's not exactly a private matter, it's just that the village wants Tsunade to return and inherit the Hokage position." Mashiro said, patting Shizune's head. "H-Hokage!!!!" Shizune was so shocked that she didn't even notice Mashiro patting her head.

"Recently, many things have happened in Konoha. First, Orochimaru attacked Konoha with the help of the Sound and Sand ninjas during the Chunin Exams. Then, the rogue ninja Uchiha Itachi suddenly attacked. Although they were all dealt with successfully, the Third Hokage spent a lot of energy dealing with Orochimaru. Kakashi was also seriously injured when fighting Itachi, and the medical ninjas in Konoha could not cure him."

So the teacher decided that I should find Senior Sister Ganjin and have her go back to heal Kakashi, and incidentally become the new Hokage. "Mashiro continued. The huge amount of information overwhelmed Shizune's mind, leaving her momentarily speechless.

"Alright, don't think about it too much. Tsunade is probably having trouble accepting the news right now. She'll probably be fine by tomorrow. Let's go, Shizune, I'll treat you to dinner." Mashiro said, putting his arm around Shizune's shoulder.

"Let's eat! No need, you've already helped me so many times, I can't let you spend any more money." Jingyin waved her hand in refusal.

"It's just the cost of the meal, there's no question of it being expensive. If you're feeling embarrassed, please express your gratitude to me. I'm very happy to help you." Mashiro said, pointing to her cheek.

After a moment's thought, Shizune blushed and kissed him. Tun Tun watched everything that happened, utterly shocked.

While eating at the restaurant, Shizune still felt something was off. Getting food just by kissing someone felt strangely familiar. In the evening, Shizune returned to the inn with the food. Tsunade had already left her room and was sitting on the sofa drinking.

"Lady Tsunade, please stop drinking and eat." Shizune placed the food on the table. "You eat, Shizune. I don't have an appetite right now," Tsunade said, still somewhat dejected. Shizune looked at Tsunade, remembering what Mashiro had said to her during the meal.

"Shizune, when you go back tonight, could you please try to persuade Tsunade-senpai for me? As her only disciple, your words might be helpful." But...

"Think about it, Shizune. If Tsunade becomes Hokage, you can stay in Konoha and won't have to run away from your debts anymore. Plus, we can see each other every day, and you can make more friends. Tsunade's personality might even become more reliable after she becomes Hokage."

"Well, I'll give it a try."

Shizune hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is Lady Tsunade troubled by the mission Mashiro mentioned?" Tsunade remained silent.

"So many years have passed, Lady Tsunade should let it go. I think your brother would also want you to return to Konoha. He wouldn't want you to fall into such a state of depravity," Shizune continued.

The brother Shizune mentioned is Kato Dan, Tsunade's former lover.

Shizune didn't notice that after she mentioned that name, Tsunade's eyes became incredibly pained and complicated.

The reason that absurd dream made Tsunade so depressed was not because she was slept with by Uchiha Zero in the dream, but because she discovered that she actually had feelings for and attachment to that guy. This made Tsunade feel very sorry for Dan when she woke up.

"Lady Tsunade, where are you going?" Shizune saw Tsunade suddenly get up and go out.

"I'm going to talk to Hyuga Mashiro. Shizune, you eat first," Tsunade said to Shizune, then pushed open the door and went out. At the casino, in the same private room, Mashiro had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Tsunade lift the curtain and walk in, Mashiro chuckled, "I thought you weren't coming." Tsunade silently sat down opposite Mashiro and asked, "What did you do to me at noon today?"

Because of the hallucinogen, Tsunade didn't remember Mashiro revealing his identity. She only remembered that she and Mashiro were playing mahjong, and she seemed to have won. Then she had that dream.

"I didn't do anything. I just secretly used a little illusion technique, a kind of illusion that makes people dream. I originally wanted to make Tsunade fall asleep while playing mahjong, so she would forfeit the game. But I didn't expect her resistance to illusions to be so high. She only fell asleep after finishing the game," Mashiro said, seemingly telling the truth.

Let's start the third round. "Whether Mashiro is telling the truth or not, Tsunade doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore."

"Okay," Mashiro said, squinting slightly. The final round, begin!

Chapter 48: The Tale of Tsunade, the Fire Princess (The End)

"Why doesn't Tsunade want to be Hokage?" Mashiro suddenly asked while shuffling the cards. "No reason, I hate troublesome things," Tsunade said after a moment's hesitation.

"It's probably because they think this position is too high," Mashiro said casually. "?" Tsunade didn't understand what Mashiro meant.

"Speaking of the people around Tsunade, her younger brother Nawaki, her lover Dan Kato, her friends Jiraiya and Orochimaru, all the tragedies seem to stem from this position. Because of this position, Nawaki and Dan died in battle; because of this position, Jiraiya and Orochimaru turned against each other. Moreover, as time goes by, you realize that this position seems to be gradually different from what you remember." Mashiro's address to Tsunade gradually lost its respectful tone.

Tsunade wanted to rebuke Mashiro upon hearing this, but seeing Mashiro's eyes, a sense of fear involuntarily welled up within her. This was precisely what Mashiro did in the second round.

This reminds Tsunade of her fear of Uchiha Zero again. Although Tsunade does not know that Mashiro is Uchiha Zero at this time, she can sense it in her subconscious.

Tsunade's vision blurred, her consciousness began to waver, and in that moment, Hyuga Mashiro before her seemed to transform into Uchiha Zero, who gently...

Play a mahjong tile.

The surrounding scenery changed drastically, and she found herself in a blank space, with countless images flashing before her eyes.

She saw Nawaki beaming and said, "Sister, I will definitely become Hokage someday, just like Grandpa."

The scene flashes, the war begins, and she receives news of Nawaki's death. However, when she rushes over, all she sees is Nawaki's body, a body with its internal organs removed.

Tsunade reached out to touch it, but everything before her vanished like bubbles. Then she saw Dan.

Dan Wen smiled and said to her, "Tsunade, after I become Hokage, I will definitely follow your advice and have a ninja by my side, including a medical ninja as an assistant."

The scene flashes, and it's war again.

Tsunade received news of Dan's severe injuries, but when she arrived, she only saw Dan's shattered body. She could only hold Dan's body and weep bitterly. Next came Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

"I support Minato becoming Hokage," Jiraiya proposed at the meeting. Orochimaru didn't say anything, but simply left silently.

Tsunade sat to one side, watching everything unfold before her eyes, helpless. With Minato becoming the Fourth Hokage, the Sannin were torn apart.

Looking at the various things that appeared before her, Tsunade buried her head in her hands and cried silently. She had failed to protect any of the people close to her.

"Why are you crying?" a little girl with light blond hair appeared and asked. Tsunade looked up, somewhat stunned; it was herself as a child.

Tsunade took out a lollipop, popped it into her mouth, and said, "Are all adults so spineless? They just cry all by themselves when something happens." "Who are you?" Tsunade asked.

"I am you, or more precisely, I am you as a child, living in your subconscious," Tsunade said with a smile.

"I appeared after Nawaki died, as your way of remembering and cherishing the past. I originally thought I would disappear soon, but with the death of Kandan and the departure of my friend, I have continued to exist until now," Tsunade continued.

"You..." Tsunade looked at the little Tsunade, unsure of what to say.

"Your heart is always so sorrowful," Tsunade said before leaving. After Tsunade left...

"Tsunade, are you crying again?" Mashiro appeared beside Tsunade without her noticing and asked. "What do you want?" Tsunade looked at Mashiro with tear-streaked eyes.

Mashiro reached out and wiped away Tsunade's tears, then struck a chord, and the scene reappeared around them.

As the scene changed, Mashiro slowly narrated: "Because of the boy's ambition, a war broke out. The boy overestimated himself and suffered extremely serious injuries. No one in the village could cure these injuries. Someone said that we could go to Princess Senju, who is the best medical ninja."

A girl learned of this and secretly went to find Princess Thousand Hands, but Princess Thousand Hands could no longer heal people for some reason and refused the girl. The girl persisted and knelt in front of Princess Thousand Hands' door for a long time until she fainted. Finally, Princess Thousand Hands took pity on her and asked to see the boy.

Originally, she only intended to reject the boy after seeing him, so that he would take the girl back with him. But after seeing the boy, and seeing the look in his eyes...

Nagisa asked him a question: Why do you want to become Hokage? Perhaps because he was about to die, the boy arrogantly replied: Only by becoming Hokage can I gain power. With that power, I will gradually dominate the Land of Fire, and then become the emperor of the entire ninja world, achieving true peace in the ninja world.

Something must have touched Princess Thousand Hands, for she made an exception and treated him. However, the boy was a very ambitious person. He witnessed Princess Thousand Hands' power and then used schemes and tricks to win her over.

Over time, the boy discovered that beneath Princess Thousand Hands' bold exterior lay a fragile heart, and her life was forever shrouded in the shadows of the past.

But the boy didn't care. He tried his best to play a selfish role. He realized that loneliness wasn't so good after all, because of a chance encounter that gave him a second chance at life. In this life, he wanted to help Princess Thousand Hands sweep away the gloom.

As the video ended, Mashiro also stopped narrating.
