Chapter 159

Land of Fire.

In one of the restaurants in a small town.

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, holding the bottle in her hand, and there was a pile of empty bottles on the table.

"Five more bottles...no...ten...»

Tsunade drank from the bottle, turned to the counter and shouted.

A cold sweat broke out on Shizune's forehead: "Senior Tsunade, you've had enough, you can't keep drinking anymore...»

"Don't get in the way...»

Tsunade looked at Shizune and said in a drunken voice, " Shizune, it won't hurt you either, come have a drink with me.»

Shizune exclaimed, " Senior Tsunade! You incite a minor to drink alcohol! You can't keep drinking anymore, we're going to run out of money soon!»

"Eh...»

Hearing about the money, Tsunade sighed heavily and finished the bottle in one fell swoop: "Today I lost all my money again, my luck in the casino, as always, was terrible, however...just like in real life...»

Tsunade leaned on the table and looked at Shizune: "Shizune, go back to Konoha, you don't have to follow me.»

"Ah?»

Shizune exclaimed in surprise and said in a frightened voice, " Senior Tsunade ... am I interrupting you? But if you continue to drink like this, it can be harmful to your health...»

Tsunade shook her head, " No...it's not like that...all the people around me are losing their luck...grandpa, brother, of Erase...if you continue to follow me, then you, too, will sooner or later be overtaken by death...»

«...»

Hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune lowered her head and fell silent, then clenched her fists and said resolutely, " Senior Tsunade! Don't you dare say that! This has nothing to do with you! In any case, I won't leave you!!»

"Eh, Shizune...»

Tsunade sighed: "Then have a drink with me.»

Shizune looked at Tsunade helplessly, not knowing what to do, and just at that moment, a voice came from the side.

"She seems to be no more than twelve years old, inciting minors to drink alcohol is a violation of the law, you should be put behind bars.»

"Shut up...»

Tsunade was in a terrible mood right now, she exclaimed without turning her head, " Hmm, then you can try to catch me, come on!!»

After saying that, Tsunade froze abruptly, this voice seemed very familiar to her.

And.

She noticed that Shizune, who was sitting across from her, was staring dazedly behind her, as if she had seen something incredible.

Tsunade slowly turned her head, cautiously looking back, a thought occurred to her that she didn't dare believe.

Without waiting for one of the Sannins to turn her head, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed her wrist: "In that case, I'll ask Teacher Tsunade to come with me.»

Tsunade's hand was trembling, with her physical strength, it was easy to free herself from this grip, but she did not do it, her trembling gaze went up to the hand that grabbed her and fell on a well-known face.

Disbelief flashed in his eyes.

But through contact with the wrist, she could perceive a well-known chakra, it can't be faked.

"Ep..Erase...»

Shizune's trembling voice was heard, her eyes flashed with a variety of emotions, excitement, joy, disbelief, and her mind went into chaos for a while.

Tsunade shuddered and stood up, and then silently held out his arms, grabbing Erase for breast and throwing it out the window: "Erase...you bastard!!»

Phew!!

Erase did not resist, allowing himself to be thrown out of the window, and then instantly came back and said helplessly: "It was an accident, really...»

Tsunade grabbed Yeruashi again before he could finish, but this time she didn't throw him out of the window, but hugged him tightly, with such force that he almost started to choke.

Erase was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I'm sorry...I made you worry...»

...

In half a day.

In some hotel.

In the room, a dim lamp burns on a table, illuminating human figures. Sitting at the table of Erase, opposite Tsunade and next to it Shizune.

"A lot has happened in these two years...»

After hearing from Tsunade about the events that had occurred during his absence, Yeruashi took a deep breath, but there was no surprise in his heart at all.

Because most of the events were almost completely identical to what he knew.

The Third Shinobi World War is over.

To put it more precisely, the main war ended, there were only some local and small conflicts. Apart from the occasional minor skirmishes, it can even be called a peaceful time.

Minato has not yet taken over the post of the Fourth Hokage, but now he has everything necessary for this, and Orochimaru has remained silent since the end of the war.

"It was too risky...»

Tsunade already knew the truth about why Yeruashi had been missing for two years. He didn't hide somewhere for two years, but was transported to the future due to the influence of the Dragon Vein.

Erase grinned: "It was a bit risky, but it was worth it...After all, I managed to get this power...»

"Space-time ninjutsu...No, time ninjutsu!»

Tsunade took a deep breath and said, " Amazing...you took this opportunity to master the ninjutsu of time. To crush Sunagakure alone, now even I can't understand your strength...»

Yeruashi smiled, " I didn't forget that Teacher Tsunade had suffered at the hands of Shinobi Suna in the past, and I also wanted to test the new power in practice, and just at that moment, Suna herself knocked on the door.»

Memories flashed through Tsunade's mind, but she quickly pushed them aside and said to Yeruashi, " What are you going to do now? Are you going back to Konoha?»

"Yes.»

Erase nodded: "There are things I have to do.»

Tsunade shook her head: "If you mean helping Orochimaru in the fight for the post of the Fourth Hokage, then you don't need to worry about it, he has already given up...»

"Gave up?»

Erase questioned.

Tsunade said slowly: "When I met him, before I left the village after the war, I felt that he had completely lost interest in it.»

"That's how it is...»

Yeruashi thought for a moment and said, "But I still have to go back.»

The end of the Third Shinobi World War means that the battle of Kanabi Bridge has already passed. Even if Kakashi is now much stronger than in the original story, with Madara behind the scenes, there shouldn't be any significant changes in this storyline, which means that Rin and Kakashi will face huge danger in the near future.

In the original story, Minato was always one step late, so this time, it's not too much to hope for either.

Erase must personally deal with this issue.
