Ascension failed, the system took me away

A female voice sounded from behind.

The voice is so familiar, yet it seems so distant in my memory.

Tsunade's body froze and her mind went blank for a moment.

The wine bottle in his hand fell unconsciously, hit the ground, and shattered into a pile of pieces.

She turned around suddenly and looked at the figure in front of her.

The face was hidden by the hood and could not be seen clearly, only a strand of red hair could be vaguely seen between the collar.

"Is that you...Kushina??"

Sensing the same chakra aura as in her memory, Tsunade's voice trembled slightly.

He slowly raised his hand, trying to lift up the wide hood of the cloak.

Kushina grasped it and gently placed it on her face.

"It's me, Sister Tsunade. You didn't expect that."

"How come you...you're not..."

Tsunade was so agitated that her speech was incoherent.

The close contact allowed her to confirm the aura of the chakra.

Everyone's chakra is different and has a unique personal signature.

No matter how sophisticated the disguise technique is, it is impossible to simulate the personal aura of Chakra.

When facing familiar people, it is easy to tell them apart when in close contact.

Tsunade lifted her hood, revealing a familiar face.

When she left, Kushina was still just a girl, but now she is a mother.

That body, full of vitality and without any breath of death, is not reincarnation.

At that moment, countless thoughts flooded in like a tide, and some of them were uncontrollable.

He opened his arms and hugged her tightly, pressing the red-haired head onto the pillow he brought with him.

Tears glistened in his closed eyes.

"Great, Kushina, you're still here!"

Tsunade suffered from hemophobia because of the death of her lover Kato Dan and her brother Nawaki.

A doctor cannot heal himself, and even as a medical expert, she has no way to treat this kind of mental illness.

Or maybe she never thought about treatment at all.

The death of her relatives and her disappointment with the village made her decide not to be a ninja anymore.

He resolutely left Konoha with Kato Dan's niece, the still young Kato Shizune.

The journey in the ninja world began.

His only living relative is his younger sister, Kushina Uzumaki, who is from the same clan as his grandmother Mito Uzumaki and has no blood relationship with him.

Unfortunately, she is the village's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, an important strategic weapon, and it is impossible for her to leave with Tsunade.

Although this identity limits freedom, it also brings security.

She can walk around Konoha with ease and no one dares to provoke her.

And there is a little yellow-haired boy with good talent to take care of him, and this guy is also Jiraiya's disciple.

Therefore Tsunade was not worried about Kushina being bullied.

Later I heard that the little yellow-haired Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, and Kushina became the Hokage's wife.

When I was little, I always said that I wanted to be the Hokage's woman.

Her dream can be considered to have come true, right?

Unfortunately, it didn’t take long before news came that four generations of couples had died in battle.

This was a huge blow to Tsunade, and she was extremely drunk that day.

It was also this time that she completely gave up the idea of ​​returning to Konoha that remained in her heart.

Now that I see it again, the joy of regaining what I had lost is like a seed breaking through the soil, rapidly spreading and growing in my heart.

"Ah, let me go, Sister Tsunade's figure is still so foul."

Kushina untangled herself from the giant pillow, her tone unabashedly envious.

"So, what's wrong with you?"

Tsunade turned her head and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes imperceptibly.

She had never been back to Konoha and had never seen Kushina's body in person.

The news of the death of four generations of couples was only learned through intelligence.

But the return of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to power indirectly proved that this information was true.

Now that she saw the living Kushina, Tsunade was delighted and asked about the doubts in her heart.

"Sister Tsunade, Minato and I are indeed dead. Our current state is that the remaining chakra is attached to the puppet."

Although Tsunade was prepared for this answer, she still felt a little disappointed.

It was not the situation she was most looking forward to.

Kushina naturally noticed Tsunade's change in mood.

He smiled slightly and leaned close to Tsunade's ear.

"Don't be disappointed, Sister Tsunade. You may not know this, but Konoha now has the technology to truly revive the dead, not the Impure World Reincarnation technology."

These words made Tsunade's eyes suddenly widen and her mind became confused for a moment.

Without doubting the truth of the words, she knew that Kushina would not come all the way to her and joke about her life and death.

But he soon realized something irrational, stretched out his hand and pinched Kushina's cheek, wondering: "Then why didn't you revive?"

"Because the merit required for resurrection is not so easy to achieve. In my current state, it is enough for me to accompany Naruto to grow up. I don't expect a true resurrection."

Thinking of Naruto, Kushina's eyes were filled with happiness.

Originally, this remaining chakra would only appear when the Nine-Tails Chakra was completely out of control.

There is only one chance to see Naruto, and then he will disappear completely.

Now that it is fixed on the puppet, it can last at least ten years, which is enough time for Naruto to grow up.

He was very grateful to Mr. Bai for reviving himself and Minato.

"I know what Sister Tsunade has always wanted. Come back to Konoha. Minato and I will help you. At least we can revive Rope Tree."

Jiraiya on the side scratched his head and said in the same tone: "Resurrection is indeed true. Mr. Bai is not an ordinary person and will not deceive us."

"Tsunade, come back with us. Konoha is different now than it was before. Sensei...is no longer the Hokage."

After hearing Kushina and Jiraiya's persuasion, Tsunade felt a little shaken.

She has been avoiding her own heart all along, trying not to think about the painful past.

But every time I fall asleep, the blood-covered figures of Kato Dan and Nawaki always appear in my mind.

It woke her up from her dream and made her feel confused and unable to sleep.

He could only numb himself with gambling and alcohol, and only found a little relief when he was drunk.

Doctors can help people overcome illnesses, but it is difficult for them to overcome their own inner demons.

Tsunade was silent, but from the chakra fluctuations she sensed, it could be seen that she was not calm inside and seemed to be struggling.

Jiraiya struck while the iron was hot, pulling out a sealed scroll and unfolding it on the table in the VIP room.

He just formed a seal with one hand, and with a bang, the smoke dispersed.

There were a variety of wine bottles on the table.

Jiraiya opened all the bottle caps with the speed of a man who had been single for decades.

Suddenly, the aroma of various wines filled the entire VIP room.

Tsunade, an old drunkard, couldn't hold back her sadness and instantly leaned over the table, took a deep breath, her face full of intoxication.

"It smells so good. What kind of wine is this? I've never seen this before in all the years I've been drinking."

Tsunade picked up a bottle of "Tun Tun Tun" and drank it down. In the blink of an eye, the bottle was empty.

Then he burped: "It tastes good, refreshing!!!"

Jingyin, who was standing by, covered her eyes with a mask, feeling a little embarrassed.

Jiraiya introduced: "These are newly developed drinks. They are one of the employee benefits. As long as it does not affect work, you can eat, drink and have fun as much as you want, and it's all free..."

"Fun? Since you came to see me, I have prepared the wine and the toys, right? If you have anything new, bring it out quickly."

Tsunade downed another bottle and glanced at Jiraiya.

"Your focus is really... well, take it, take it."
