Chapter 64: Reverse Summoning

Everyone stopped eating their dinner as they heard Tsunade's question.

While they weren't surprised by the fact she asked to learn it, it was the fact that she had asked Haru to teach it to her.

Usually she would ask Hiruzen to help her with any of her ninjutsu training, such as when she asked him for help in her Earth Release training.

Haru smiled brightly as he thought 'YES!! My daughter needs me to help her!! Okay Haru, play it cool...'

"Of course I'll teach you, when do you want to start?" Haru said, though you could see the excitement on his face, causing Mito to chuckle.

"After Jiraiya and Orochimaru leave for their reverse summoning tomorrow. I want to learn the basics of it before we start the Chunin Exams." Tsunade answered.

"That's fine, we can start tomorrow evening. I'll even teach you some of the jutsus I know if you'd like." Haru said with a smile.

Tsunade though her father was acting a little odd, but she shrugged it off as him being excited to teach his daughter.

The rest of dinner was uneventful, with them all going to bed for the next day after they finished.

After waking up and taking care of her daily neccesities, Tsunade met with Orochimaru and Jiraiya in the living room, who arrived with sleeping bags packed to the brim.

"So I'm guessing that you both packed all this for the summoning?" Tsuande asked to them both.

"Yep. Orochimaru's mom packed us both bags that are filled with kunai, shuriken, and explosion tags. She also packed us some food and snacks. She even packed us a cheesecake!!" Jiraiya said while Orochimaru simply looked embarrassed.

One of the things that changed due to the war starting later was the survival of Orochimaru's parents. They both lived through the war, with his mother even retiring to become a full time mother.

Mito then entered the room and asked "Are you both ready?" to which both the boys nodded.

"Very well then, but know that this will be very dangerous. If you end up in a dangerous summoning land, their's a chance you won't return. So if you have something to say to each other, now would be the time to say it." Mito said with a serious face.

The three then turned towards each other, with both Jiraiya and Orochimaru growing emotional.

All three of them had grown close to each other over the past few years, with them each viewing each other as siblings at this point.

Orochimaru spoke first, with him saying "I don't usually do the sentimental stuff, so I'll simply make sure that I return to see you and the idiot again."

Jiraiya glared at Orochimaru before he said "The Great Jiraiya hasn't become the greatest shinobi in the world yet, so their's no way I'm going to die yet!!"

Tsunade simply smiled before she pulled them both into a hug.

"Be careful." Tsunade urged with worry in her voice.

While she knew that they both were able to become summoners of their respective Sage Lands in the anime, she was unsure if any changes would be made due to her presence. Even if they were stronger than their cano counterparts, it still could be dangerous, especially with Orochimaru going to Ryuchi Cave.

The three then seperated as they followed Mito into the backyard as she began to show them the hand signs.

"After you arrive, attempt to find someone who is in charge of the Sage Lands. I wish you luck in your endeavors." Mito said.

The two nodded before they both performed the hand signs and disappeared as smoke covered the former locations.

Mito looked at her granddaughter and said "They'll be fine Tsuna."

"I hope so." Tsunade said before she went back into the house to await the beginning of her training.
