Choice and Coming Back

"so, what do you think, granny? what is your choice?"

"EHHHHHHHHHH!" 

everyone was shocked when they saw Tsunade stand up and stop trembling when she saw blood.

Orochimaru suddenly aware of what Kaoru meant when he said that Tsunade could become a famous actress.

not only her teammates, Tsunade even fooled everyone around her who knew about her hemophobia, and her acting is too superb for anyone to find it for years.

"so, you're just playing around for these years, could I assume you also knew about the Senju clan, Tsunade?" this time Orochimaru made a bitter face, he felt like a fool when he aware that Tsunade was just acting, especially when Jiraiya also being fooled by her, that's mean he is at the same level as Jiraiya.

"yes, I knew, I know about everything that happened, the Senju clan, the Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha clan, and many more, since the appearance of Dan I've started to be aware of the dark side of Konoha that's why I did all this drama" Tsunade show a sad face, at first she never thought that her own teacher could do all those evil things.

everything becomes clear when Kato Dan appears in front of her, their relationship turns better and then Dan tells her everything, in her rage she kills him but he never blames her that's why she acts as if she has a hemophobia after losing both her little brother and Kato Dan.

part of the reason she takes Shizune as her apprentice also as an apology toward Dan also to make sure that Shizune is not contaminated by Konoha's corruption.

Tsunade then turned her focus toward Kaoru, this time she put her serious face again and asked.

"so, Kaoru-kun may I know who is the one who hates Danzo more than me?" she has some predictions but, almost everyone who is against Danzo is dead, and she can't think about any other person.

but before Kaoru could answer, Orochimaru beat him. "It must be a person who is being revived with Edo Tensei right?" 

hearing what Orochimaru said, make Tsunade scowled and she looked fiercely at Kaoru as if telling him to give a good explanation.

this time Orochimaru turned his mouth upward and showed a smile face since he could score a small point against Kaoru and Kaoru promised to pull a prank on him later.

"yup, I revived her with a modified Edo Tensei, she didn't have the immortality of Edo Tensei but, she also wasn't being suppressed by this Jutsu and had 100% of her prime power, which means it's a real reviving Jutsu" what Kaoru didn't say is the revived person also has a potential to devour the sacrificed chakra and power.

"Who is she?" Tsunade becomes more impatient, she has a hope that the one being revived is someone related to her, and Kaoru will not disappoint Tsunade.

"she is the former wife of the fourth hokage, the princess of the Uzumaki clan, also the former Jinchuriki of Kyubi, Uzumaki Kushina!" hearing the very familiar name everyone in this place except Karin makes a strange face, she has met with Kushina and received her guidance on Uzumaki special jutsu that's why she feels nothing when Kaoru said her name.

but to other people especially from Konoha, Uzumaki Kushina's name is a very famous name, her relationship with Tsunade could be called a sister even if their age is too far apart.

Orochimaru also recognizes the name since he had fought her before and still lost that time, he has to acknowledge that Kushina is a fearsome Kunoichi, fortunately, there is no one knows about their small duel.

when they try to remember all the notorious acts of Kushina, they feel pity toward Danzo, especially Orochimaru, since he at least knows that the life of Kushina's son is not good under the guidance of Hiruzen and Danzo.

he then reaches enlightenment that the identity of Kushina's son is actually a yellow-haired boy who fought against him in the forest of death, Orochimaru wonders what his teacher thinking when he puts both Sasuke and Naruto boy in one team.

did his teacher never think about the possibilities for both of them to find the reason for their misery, if that happens then Konoha will lose Uchiha and Uzumaki forever.

"so Kushina is revived, that means those old fools are done for, since that is the case, I will take your offer." Tsunade accepted Kaoru's offer and then turned toward her student Shizune. "it's time to go home, let's pack our belongings Shizune."

"yes, Tsunade-sama!" Shizune nodded and was ready to back to their lodging and take all their stuff.

"what about you, Orochimaru, as long as you're not using the innocent for your experiment I will let it go, your talent is needed I also know now that you still have your humanity." 

Orochimaru contemplated for a few moments and after he found that the benefit of accepting Tsunade and Kaoru's offer was bigger than overshadowed the demerit he accepted it.

this time Kaoru made a final move to make sure that everything was right.

"Oh, for the four-eyed brother, I could also revive Yakushi Nono!" Kaoru's ultimate move stunned both Orochimaru and Kabuto since this name is only known by a very small number of people, and unexpectedly Kaoru also knows about that name.

with this move, Kaoru could ensure that Obito would not have help from Kabuto to create an army of Edo Tensei.

------

after making sure that Shizune had taken all their stuff Kaoru offered to put their things inside of his sealing scroll, and they started the journey to go back to Konoha.

right now Kaoru has made a very big harvest, from his third mission to defeat the leader of Akatsuki to bring back Tsunade to Konoha plus a bonus of Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Kaoru also introduced Karin to Tsunade and Orochimaru, he also didn't forget to mention the sound four to Orochimaru, especially about Tayuya.

after several days of walking, they arrived at Konoha but, Orochimaru disappeared since Kaoru told him to hide for a few days before he could go back, Orochimaru chose to go to his secret base near Konoha to summon all his subordinates such as the sound four plus Kimimaru, Guren, and the others and he also told Kaoru to contact him later after Tsunade get the position of Hokage.

in their trip to the Hokage office, Kaoru started to thinking.

'it's too smooth, even Jiraiya has not arrived yet, there will be nothing strange happening later right?'
