Shikkotsu Forest.
Swish!
A figure flashed and transformed into Shishou, bringing Mikoto directly to the Great Slug Sage using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Her transformation ability allowed her to use the techniques of the person she transformed into, so she naturally used Shishou's Flying Thunder God Technique.
After greeting the Great Slug Sage, Kushina reverted to her original form and quickly ran to the cabin where Tsunade and Shizune lived.
"What are you doing here?"
Tsunade, who had just finished her sage training, was sipping her bedtime sake and nibbling on skewers when she saw Kushina, she was taken aback.
Since that bastard Shishou always had some unsavory thoughts about her and Kushina, Tsunade and Kushina mostly communicated through small slugs to avoid giving him an opportunity to ambush them.
Kushina threw herself into Tsunade's arms and whined, "Tsunade-nee, I need your help..."
Kushina used her charm offensive, while Mikoto obediently kneeled by Tsunade, serving her food and sake.
Although Mikoto and Kushina were now almost as strong as Tsunade, they didn't dare to defy her because of the powerful aura she exuded.
After hearing Kushina's explanation, Tsunade understood, "I see."
She could understand Kushina and Mikoto's desire to personally train Naruto and Sasuke.
However, both were 'deceased' and not suitable to appear in Konoha or in front of Naruto and Sasuke.
After thinking for a while, Tsunade said to Kushina and Mikoto:
"How about this, I'll talk to Kakashi. You two can come every night as special training teachers to instruct Naruto and Sasuke."
Kushina and Mikoto were delighted and gratefully said, "Thank you, Tsunade-nee (Tsunade-sama)."
Tsunade finished her sake in one gulp and stood up.
"Let's go. I'll take you there now."
Tsunade was always decisive. Since Kushina had asked, she didn't plan to delay.
Kushina and Mikoto naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
"Shizune, I'm going out with Kushina and Mikoto."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
After calling out to Shizune, who was training in the next room, and getting a reply, Tsunade made a single-hand seal and disappeared.
She had left several slug clones in Konoha, so she could reverse summon herself back anytime.
Then, Kushina took Mikoto and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
In Konoha.
After reverse summoning herself back home, Tsunade saw Kushina and Mikoto appear beside her.
"Disguise yourselves."
After scrutinizing Kushina and Mikoto, Tsunade instructed.
"Understood." Kushina and Mikoto disappeared from Tsunade's sight.
A moment later, they reappeared, disguised.
"Let's go."
Seeing Kushina and Mikoto in masks and black robes, Tsunade headed straight to the Hokage's office.
In the Hokage's office, Tsunade sat in the Hokage's chair, while Kushina and Mikoto stood quietly behind her.
Knock knock knock!!!
Tsunade knocked on the desk.
"Tsunade-sama."
Three Anbu members instantly kneeled before her, speaking respectfully.
They had no objections to Tsunade sitting in the Hokage's chair and found it natural.
In their view, and in the view of all Konoha residents, Tsunade was destined to be the next Hokage.
Tsunade glanced at the three Anbu members and instructed casually:
"Call Kakashi. I have something for him to do."
"Also, inform the old man that Naruto will be moving back to his original house starting tonight. Tell him it's my decision."
"Yes." The three Anbu members responded in unison and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.
A few minutes later,
Kakashi arrived at the office after receiving the message, bowed to Tsunade, and greeted her.
"Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade leaned on the desk and looked at Kakashi, saying:
"These two are the special training teachers I found for Naruto and Sasuke. They can help bring out the bloodline power of the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans."
"From now on, Naruto and Sasuke will be instructed by them every night at ten."
"Take Naruto and Sasuke to my house now."
"And remember, keep this matter a secret from everyone."
As Naruto and Sasuke's Jonin instructor, Kakashi would inevitably find out about their training. So, Tsunade chose to tell him directly and instructed him to keep it confidential.
Kakashi glanced at the two people standing behind Tsunade and said,
"Understood, Tsunade-sama."
After that, Kakashi turned and left the office to find Naruto and Sasuke.
Once Kakashi left, Tsunade took Kushina and Mikoto back home.
...
At the Uchiha residence.
"Is something wrong?"
Sasuke, who had already gone to bed, frowned at Kakashi standing at the door.
"Sasuke, Tsunade-sama has found special training teachers for you and Naruto. Come with me," Kakashi explained.
Though he didn't know where Tsunade-sama found the teachers, Kakashi knew they must be powerful.
"Special training teachers?"
Hearing that Tsunade-sama had found him a special training teacher, Sasuke frowned.
He wasn't familiar with the legendary Sannin.
But, familiarity didn't matter.
If it meant receiving special training and getting stronger, Sasuke wouldn't refuse. So, he dressed quickly and followed Kakashi out.
As long as he could become stronger and defeat that person, Sasuke didn't care about the details.
Following Kakashi to Tsunade's house, Sasuke saw another Kakashi leading Naruto there.
Seeing the real Kakashi, the clone beside Sasuke disappeared.
"Sasuke, you're here too. Do you know who the special training teachers are? Are they strong?"
Seeing Sasuke, Naruto excitedly asked.
"Tsk." Sasuke clicked his tongue.
He had just received the news; how would he know?
"Go inside," Kakashi said, looking at Naruto and Sasuke.
Following Kakashi's instruction, Naruto excitedly pushed open the door to Tsunade's house.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a figure wearing a fox mask standing before him.
Seeing this figure, Naruto froze, feeling a strange connection with this person.
Naruto...
Seeing Naruto enter, Kushina's heart raced with excitement.
As Sasuke entered, he saw another figure wearing a cat mask approaching him, making him pause.
Sasuke felt a very familiar aura from this person.
Sasuke...
Uchiha Mikoto stood before Sasuke, equally excited and emotional.
