I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"That dead Jiraiya..."

Tsunade spat, her face slightly flushed. Was that idiot really that concerned about Kato Dan? He even deliberately sent Chiaki to cause trouble.

"Actually, think about it. Look at Kato Danjin. He's handsome, not weak, and not lecherous. He's devoted to you. In every way, isn't he better than Jiraiya-sensei?"

Chiaki squinted and counted, and Tsunade thought about it along with her and agreed, "Indeed, that old lecher is just unreliable."

"Then why do you still like Jiraiya-sensei?"

Chiaki blinked, and Tsunade immediately retorted, "Who...who likes him!"

"I just... think he... um... I don't know!"

Tsunade reached out and placed her hand in Chiaki's arms, then started tickling him in a retaliatory manner, "Serves you right for talking nonsense! Serves you right for talking nonsense!"

"Hahaha……"

Chiaki twisted her body and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, as long as my sister tells me about you and Kato Dan, I won't say anything more about you."

"Actually, it's nothing..."

Tsunade sighed while holding Chiaki, "I think we've known each other since we were kids. His family's spiritification technique is very unique, and my great-uncle often brought me to visit them. That's how we met."

Oh~ childhood sweetheart!

Chiaki said with a smile, and Tsunade rubbed her chest, causing Chiaki to scream in surprise.

"What childhood sweethearts? We've only met a few times."

"If we're really talking about childhood sweethearts... well, let's go with that dead guy Jiraiya..."

Tsunade muttered to herself. She, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had grown up together since childhood, a far cry from the amount of time she had spent with Dan Kato.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: An Overly Extravagant Lineup

"Tsk tsk, why don't you just say you and Orochimaru are childhood friends?"

Chiaki teased, and Tsunade rolled her eyes at her before continuing, "Later, the first time I felt a little fondness for Kato Dan was at a meeting."

"Back then, I proposed to promote medical ninjutsu and form a medical ninja team, and he was the first to support me."

"To be honest, I had almost forgotten who he was at that time."

Tsunade spoke with emotion, and Chiaki nodded in understanding. Given Tsunade's passion for medical ninjutsu, anyone who could directly support her at the meeting would definitely be considered one of her own.

"After that, he told me very clearly that he liked me, and then he started pursuing me..."

"Wow!"

Chiaki started yelling, but Tsunade quickly covered her mouth and said fiercely, "I'll sew your mouth shut if you're not careful!"

"Uuuuuuu..."

Chiaki nodded quickly. Tsunade was really into her story and continued speaking earnestly.

"Actually, I don't know what to do. I never thought that anyone would like me."

"Uuuuuuu..."

Chiaki gave Tsunade a look, indicating that there were plenty of people who liked Tsunade.

"Eh?"

"How could that be? I have a bad temper, I like to beat people up, and I'm not feminine at all..."

Tsunade waved her hand with amusement, indicating that Chiaki was joking.

How could anyone like me?

Chiaki looked at Tsunade helplessly. Little did she know that on Blue Star, in her own world, besides the Crown Princess, she was the most popular person.

Femininity?

In the entire ninja world, who can compare to Tsunade?

Tsunade is the symbol of the number one woman in the entire ninja world!

Because of Tsunade's status, virtually no one dared to pursue her.

The only one with a chance was Jiraiya, but unfortunately, the old guy was too shy. He could only talk a big game and never dared to confess to someone face-to-face like Dan Kato did.

"So after that guy confessed to me, I was actually a little afraid to see him."

Tsunade said awkwardly, "Well... he wasn't really bothered by me. He just helped me when I needed it... and told me to think about it..."

Chiaki listened to Tsunade's words while resting her chin on her hand, and felt that Kato Dan was indeed quite capable.

Tsunade had never considered matters of love, so she was naturally uncomfortable with a confession.

Kato Dan, however, maintained a suitable distance, appearing only when necessary. Compared to Jiraiya bothering Tsunade every day, he was clearly much better.

In the end, Tsunade will succumb to the warm-hearted man's advances and choose to try accepting him, and that's how they end up together.

Goodness, this plot sounds familiar to Chiaki!

Kato Dan is not a womanizer who flirts with countless girls, but a true warm-hearted man!

So far, there doesn't seem to be any word circulating in Konoha that Kato Dan is a scumbag, which means...

This man seems to be a really good man!

Compared to him, Jiraiya is utterly weak, isn't he?

Well, I'm a little embarrassed...

Unfortunately, Chiaki was a fan of Jiraiya and Tsunade back then, and the doujinshi she read were all...

Cough!

In reality, Tsunade didn't have any romantic feelings for Dan Kato; she just felt a little affection for him because he was very kind to her.

However, she genuinely developed feelings for Jiraiya.

So, I'm really sorry, brother!

After thoroughly understanding Tsunade's love story, Chiaki ignored Tsunade, who was engrossed in the meeting, clenched his fist, and made up his mind.

Come on, let's see if I can stop Tsunade's first love from happening!

Just then, Kato Dan's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up and strode towards Tsunade.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

Qianqiu was stunned. What should she do now?

They charged straight at us!

Judging from their posture, they clearly intend to launch a direct attack.

No, Jiraiya-sensei, I don't think I'm easy to stop...

Is the convergence of world lines really that powerful?

That despicable being X!

"Boss...you're amazing!"

Kōdō Mokumei clenched his fists. He had just been regretting that Dō Kato hadn't fought back, but before he could even turn his head, Dō Kato pounced on him.

"What are you standing there for! Cut my chakra threads right now!"

However, Kato Dan suddenly roared, and Tsunade reacted the fastest. She slid behind Kato Dan, her kunai flying, and Kato Dan fell to the ground.

"Qianqiu! Healing!"

"oh oh……"

Chiaki rushed to Kato Dan's side, and only then did she see that several pale blue chakra lines were faintly visible in the air.

"Damn it!"

Mokumu slapped himself and used a Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Tsunade and the other two.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't even notice you were being controlled!"

He took out his kunai and looked around warily.

"It's not your fault, I didn't notice either..."

Kato Dan stood up from the ground. He was not injured. Chiaki had just used the Palm Healing Technique to stimulate his life force, which restored him.

"Hmph, to be able to control a sensory-type elite Jonin without making a sound, one must at least have Kage-level strength."

"Is that right, Lady Chiyo?"

Tsunade stood guard in front of Kato Dan and shouted into the dark forest.

"Hey, I thought this man would make you swoon, Tsunade."

swish swish

One hundred and one hundred Sand Ninja emerged from the dark forest, led by Chiyo, the deadly poison master of Sunagakure.

"What a joke, you think I'd be charmed by a mere man?"

Tsunade scoffed, standing there with her sword drawn. Kōdō gritted his teeth; their whereabouts had been exposed, and they'd even been caught up by Chiyo on the main battlefield…

If Konoha doesn't have any traitors, just how strong are the strategists in the Land of Wind?

"Ahem... I'm sorry... I'm just an insignificant presence to Tsunade..."

Kato straightened up and quickly surveyed his surroundings.

The hundred Sand Ninja quickly surrounded the four, each holding a scroll. White smoke appeared, and a hundred puppets gleamed with a cold, sharp light, making the already dark forest even darker.

"A hundred-man puppet squad?"

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat. A hundred ninjas who could control puppets, the lowest level of whom was Chunin, and there were many puppeteers who were Jonin or even elite Jonin.

This is the regular army of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, an absolute ace, a trump card that can be used as a killer weapon on the front lines.

How could a team of this caliber be used to deal with the four of us?

"Isn't this too extravagant, Lady Chiyo?"

Tsunade swallowed hard. She glanced at the people around her; it seemed she was the toughest one there...
