Sure enough, there were many differences in this world compared to the original work. Not only the present but the past was also different. This world's Tsunade was obviously different from the original work.
But thinking about it, this was quite right. Tsunade was one of the Legendary Sannin. As the commander from the Second Shinobi World War, how could she be so mentally weak? Moreover, with her power, wisdom, vision, and background, how could she fall for such an ordinary man?
It was even more impossible for her to have a phobia of blood. For a person who had been through the cruelty of war, that was a bit weird.
Could she even survive the death of her younger brother? She was a great medical ninja. How could she have a phobia of blood? In the original work, the Legendary Sannin was just an existence to pave the way for the protagonists, but in this world, that was not the case.
After all, Ryoha was not inside a work of fiction. But an actual world with a similar background to the anime. Everything developed differently from the anime. No one knew what would happen next.
"Tsunade-sama, are you still concerned with Nawaki-sama's death?" Although he was very young, as Tsunade's younger brother, Shizune was respectful to him. She even called him "Nawaki-sama".
"Put it down. I really want to kill Danzo now. Last time, if not for Jiraiya stopping me with Orochimaru and Sarutobi-sensei, I would have killed Danzo and the others."
Hearing her dead brother's name, Tsunade immediately burst into anger. Her foot gently touched the ground, and suddenly, a 10-meter-long crack appeared around her foot. It was horrible. It could be seen that this world's Tsunade was different from the original work. After all, their development was different.
One existed to pave the way for protagonists. As a result, her strength and skill were wasted for more than 20 years. She didn't improve at all. Instead, she was weakened. This is why she wasn't as strong as the previous four Hokages. But it was different here.
Tsunade was thinking of killing Danzo every day, but her reason told her that she couldn't do this. Otherwise, there would be internal strife in Konoha. It was the place where her grandfathers put in a lot of effort to build. Not to mention Jiraiya and the Third would stop her.
Therefore, she never neglected her training. In the past decades, her strength had constantly been improving. Compared to the original work, she was much stronger. She was fueled with hatred and anger.
Now, she had suppressed her anger for more than ten years. But one day, if she got a little provoked, she would no longer be able to control it. At that time, no one could stop her.
Just think about it, how big was the gap between a person who had been abandoning their training and a person who had never stopped training for decades? She was incomparable to the original work's version of herself.
"What a terrifying killing intent. Driven by her hatred and anger, Tsunade-sama has improved her strength every day. She is like a volcano that is ready to erupt at any time. Her strength might be already above the other two members of the Legendary Sannin."
Although Tsunade's anger was not aimed at her, Shizune still took a few steps back with a terrified expression on her face. In any case, she was also a Jonin. While she was not as strong as Kabuto, she wasn't far off.
Shizune was still frightened by her master's sudden outburst. It couldn't be helped, though. After being in her care for so long since she was a child, she deeply understood her master's rage. But after all, who wouldn't be surprised if someone suddenly cracked the ground around them?
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, the wall in front of the two was destroyed. A huge snake appeared in their sight.
"Tsunade, why are you so angry? I have already dealt a serious blow to Konoha, and I even killed that old bastard. You should be very happy!"
Tsunade was one of the few people in this world apart from Jiraiya and Sarutobi, who Orochimaru still holds in his heart. Even a cruel man like him still found it difficult to kill his old comrades.
Looking at the village's princess, who had fought side by side with him, Orochimaru's heart was filled with mixed feelings. It was very complicated. The trio was actually in the same boat. They were abandoned by their master in order to prevent any disturbance in Konoha.
For Konoha's sake, the Third could even abandon his disciples. His reason for dealing with Orochimaru was really too strange.
He abandoned him because Orochimaru managed to develop the Edo Tensei. That was really funny. Then the Second Hokage should also be responsible for that. How many lives did he take to experiment with that jutsu? This was just a compromise between the Third and the higher-ups of Konoha.
The higher-ups were worried that the Third would be too strong. They also wanted to drive the Legendary Sannin out of the village. If it wasn't for that, they wouldn't even say a word when Orochimaru was doing human experiments, let alone exile him.
"Is he dead? He deserves it. When I got rid of Danzo and those old bastards, Konoha didn't even know how strong he was. Hmph, no wonder my grandfathers said that the old man was a guy who couldn't keep his ways."
Although her words were unpleasant to hear, Sarutobi was still her teacher. He was also a student of her grandfather. Hearing the news about his death, Tsunade didn't know how she felt. She was very angry with Sarutobi, but now she felt a little sad to hear about his death.
"But we haven't seen each other for many years. Orochimaru, you didn't come here just to reminisce his death, right?" Decades had passed, and everyone had grown apart further.
The relationship between the former comrades had been worn down. Although the friendship that they had growing up together was still there, they were just like Orochimaru and Jiraya. They were separated by a barrier, and they could no longer say what they wanted to say as before.
"You are right. I've been searching for you all this time. I have a favor to ask." Orochimaru's face was already pale, and he became even paler after being sealed. At the same time, cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.
