I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!-Chapter 363 - 364
Chapter 363 - 364
Konoha.
Tsunade eventually returned here with Shizune.
Under normal circumstances, she would never return to the village.
However, the Konoha ninjas who found her previously brought a message from Hiruzen, warning that a disaster capable of affecting everyone in the ninja world was about to occur.
Moreover, she had been winning non-stop lately.
Although Tsunade appeared to take it in stride, her heart was restless. Eventually, she decided to make a trip back.
She arrived at the Hokage's office without any trouble.
Tsunade couldn't be bothered to knock and simply pushed the door open.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen, was sitting in his familiar chair. Standing beside him was Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, you're back too, huh?"
Tsunade greeted him.
Hearing her voice, Jiraiya turned around, enthusiastically walking toward her with open arms and a grin:
"Tsunade! Long time no see! You're looking more beautiful than ever!"
"If you want our conversation to continue in the hospital, just take one more step forward," Tsunade smirked, clenching her fist.
Jiraiya instantly stopped, putting on a serious face: "This isn't a joke, Tsunade. Sensei urgently summoned us, saying that a crisis endangering the entire ninja world was happening. I immediately dropped everything and rushed back."
"Alright, move aside."
Tsunade pushed Jiraiya away and walked over to Hiruzen. She didn't bother with any formalities and got straight to the point,
"Alright, old man. What's the big emergency that you had to call us all back?"
"No rush, the person involved will be here shortly."
Hiruzen's expression was dead serious, having already received the latest intel from Naruto's team.
It was the first time Tsunade had seen the usually laid-back old man look so grim.
"Seems like something really big has happened!"
Tsunade decided to wait and hear him out.
Before long, hurried footsteps echoed from outside.
With a loud bang, the door was thrown open.
"Grandpa Third!"
Naruto burst into the room, eager to speak, but suddenly noticed Jiraiya and Tsunade. Out of instinct, he blurted:
"Huh? Pervy Sage? Granny Tsunade? You're here too!"
"Pervy... Sage?"
"Granny... Tsunade?"
Both Jiraiya and Tsunade's faces darkened instantly.
Before Jiraiya could roll up his sleeves and deliver some over-the-top introduction,
Boom!
Naruto was sent flying by a single punch.
"Who are you calling granny, you brat?!"
Tsunade slowly lowered her fist, speaking word by word.
"It's a misunderstanding! A total misunderstanding!"
Kushina quickly rushed in, hurriedly pulling Naruto out of the wall. She shook him violently, trying to brush off the dust, while also turning around to explain.

A baffled Jiraiya glanced at Minato and curiously asked, "So, this kid who looks a lot like you, Minato, who is he?"
Minato scratched his head: "Jiraiya-sensei, this is a long story."
"Then make it short. Naruto is Minato and Kushina's son."
Orochimaru, who almost got caught up in the chaos, walked into the room with a calm expression.
"What??"
Jiraiya and Tsunade were stunned.
"So, parallel worlds really do exist! No wonder Naruto is your child, Minato."
After listening to Minato's explanation, Jiraiya suddenly understood.
As a writer with an ever-active imagination, the theory of parallel worlds wasn't foreign to him. He just never expected it to actually be real.
"So that means, Naruto, you're the student of the other world's me, huh?" Jiraiya examined the now-recovered Naruto.
"Of course, Pervy Sage," Naruto replied energetically.
"I told you, stop calling me Pervy Sage! I'm the Toad Sage!"
"But you're still a Pervy Sage!"
The argument over titles began immediately between Naruto and Jiraiya.
Watching this scene, Kushina couldn't help but feel concerned.
She was well aware of Jiraiya-sensei's bad habits and feared that the Jiraiya from the other world had already led Naruto astray.
Ahem... Naruto hadn't mentioned that he had already created the Sexy Jutsu series of techniques and even ghostwrote the Icha Icha Paradise series for Jiraiya, which became an instant bestseller.
Their argument quickly fizzled out.
Before long, the two were already draping their arms over each other's shoulders like good buddies.
Jiraiya, now aware of the situation, looked at Tsunade with surprise:
"Tsunade, I never expected it! In the other world, you actually became Hokage!"
Tsunade shrugged dismissively, "She's her, and I'm me. Don't mix us up. I have no interest in being Hokage."
Jiraiya was about to say something else when Hiruzen interrupted:
"Alright, Jiraiya, Tsunade, you've heard part of the story, but you don't know the bigger crisis that came along with Naruto. A crisis that threatens the entire ninja world!"
During the following moments, Hiruzen and Naruto took turns explaining everything from the beginning, including Gensou's reappearance in the desert.
Jiraiya's expression grew increasingly grave as he listened.
Tsunade, on the other hand, looked more and more confused.
Gensou?
Could it be the same Gensou she knew?
The one she knew was certainly powerful.
But...
The greatest villain of the ninja world?
Forcing the entire ninja world led by the Five Great Nations to unite, only for them to be utterly defeated?
Surpassing the legendary Chakra Ancestor and the Sage of Six Paths?
None of that matched up with the laid-back Gensou she knew, who enjoyed eating, drinking, and having fun.
Finally, Tsunade couldn't hold back and interrupted:
"Wait... Is the Gensou you're talking about like this?"
Tsunade described Gensou's appearance.
Hiruzen was astonished, "Tsunade, how do you know about Gensou?"
'It really is him!'
Tsunade was utterly shocked.
Facing everyone's curious looks, she slowly replied:
"I... knew him. We spent a few days together."
Now it was Hiruzen, Naruto, Minato, and everyone else's turn to be dumbfounded.
The room fell into complete silence.
After a long pause, Jiraiya finally broke the silence with a stiff voice:
"So... Tsunade, are you standing here before us as a human or a ghost?"
A dark vein popped on Tsunade's forehead as she clenched her fist and replied,
"Do you want to find out yourself?"
"No, no! I'm good!"
After a bit of playful bickering, the tense atmosphere eased somewhat.
As Tsunade shared her encounters with Gensou, Orochimaru rubbed his chin thoughtfully,
"Beauty trap? No... It's not just ignoring others."
That kind of disregard wasn't about ignoring people; it was about disregarding power and the level of life itself.
Orochimaru recalled the moment in Roran when Gensou glanced at him only to look away indifferently and chuckled at his own foolishness.
Someone like that couldn't be influenced by ordinary tactics.
"If Gensou arrived in this world around the same time as Naruto, what has he been preparing for all this time?"
Hiruzen frowned as he pondered Tsunade's words.
Nobody believed Gensou was just idling away eating, drinking, and playing.
"Is that guy really the greatest villain of the ninja world?" Tsunade was still skeptical.
Just as she was about to ask more—
Suddenly!
A dazzling light flashed past the window.
Immediately after—
BOOM!!!
The ground trembled violently!
