Tsunade: Could It Be Nawaki?

Senju Nawaki used Shunpo and ran while panting heavily.

When he finally caught up with Captain Kuchiki, he suddenly found that Captain Kuchiki was already preparing to return.

Senju Nawaki was stunned. He continued to perform his erratic Shunpo despite his physical exhaustion, and shouted loudly:

"Wait for me! Captain Kuchiki! I haven't gone through the door yet!!!"

The movement of the closing boundary gate halted.

There, Nawaki's voice!

Tsunade suddenly looked up and happened to see a familiar figure entering the boundary gate.

Tsunade couldn't help but shout: "Nawaki!"

Hearing his name, Senju Nawaki was about to turn around, but the boundary door slammed shut.

Senju Nawaki scratched his head and said, "Did someone just call me?"

"You're too slow."

"Ahaha, yeah, sorry, Captain Kuchiki!"

As soon as Byakuya Kuchiki interjected, Senju Nawaki forgot about what had just happened.

On the other side of the portal, Tsunade vaguely saw that figure turn, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive at the portal immediately.

"Wait! Don't close it yet!"

Tsunade pushed the door hard, even using her strange power, but the door remained unmoved, and finally disappeared into the Land of Rain.

She knelt on the ground in despair, her eyes empty.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru approached her with puzzled expressions.

Jiraiya said casually: "What got into you, Tsunade? Do you still want him to give us a ride?"

To Jiraiya's surprise, when he spoke like this, Tsunade didn't hit him?

Something was wrong! Something was very wrong!

Tsunade said unconsciously: "I think I heard Nawaki's voice..."

"Nawaki? Nawaki, isn't he already..."

As he spoke, Jiraiya suddenly covered his mouth and looked at Tsunade worriedly.

Orochimaru's heart suddenly sank.

After all, Tsunade entrusted Nawaki to him because she trusted him, but in the end...

Human life is indeed fragile...

Seeing his two friends silent, Jiraiya couldn't help but restrain himself and said: "Well, people cannot be resurrected after death..."

"Tsunade, you must have misheard, right?"

Did you mishear?

Tsunade's eyes were slightly confused.

Maybe...

But, when she called Nawaki's name, why did that person turn around?

But if that's the case, clearly he was here, how could Nawaki not recognize her?

Moreover, she was very sure Nawaki was dead.

She clutched the necklace at her chest.

This necklace is proof of Nawaki's death...

Although his body was charred, the necklace she had personally put on Nawaki before he went to the battlefield had never left Nawaki's neck.

Tsunade stood up shakily and forced a smile: "Maybe I misheard..."

Nawaki is already dead, how could he reappear?

But the voice and the familiar figure still left a deep impression on her.

Just bury him in my heart for the time being.

The country of whirlpools...

Tsunade's eyes twinkled slightly.

......

The country of whirlpools, Seireitei.

The three little ones, Uzumaki Nagato, who followed Byakuya Kuchiki into the realm gate, stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes.

Uzumaki Nagato even wiped his eyes hard in disbelief.

This...

Are you sure you came to the right place?

The Country of Whirlpools in his impression did not have so many gorgeous buildings and scenery!

Konan opened her small mouth and murmured: "Wow, so prosperous..."

Yahiko patted Nagato's shoulder hard and said excitedly: "Nagato, it turns out your home is so beautiful. Why have I never heard you talk about it?"

Because it was his first time seeing it too!

Uzumaki Nagato whispered: "Is this really the Country of Whirlpools?"

Senju Nawaki puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Of course, this is the Land of Whirlpools, the most beautiful place in the ninja world!"

Seeing that Uzumaki Nagato and others looked like they had never seen the world, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Captain Kuchiki has returned to duty. Come on, I will take you around the Seireitei, and then take you to where you will be living."

"Okay!"

Along the way, the three people were curious about everything they saw.

But the main one asking questions was Yahiko, while Uzumaki Nagato and Konan listened quietly.

Yahiko had a friendly personality and quickly became close to Senju Nawaki.

"Brother Nawaki, what's over there?"

Senju Nawaki looked in the direction Yahiko pointed and explained: "Oh, that's the Spiritual Arts Academy. Anyone who graduates from there can become a Shinigami."

"Shinigami?"

The three people were a little confused. Yahiko asked: "Brother Nawaki, what is a Shinigami?"

"Hmm..." Senju Nawaki thought for a moment and said, "He is someone like Captain Kuchiki. By the way, I am also a Shinigami!"

Senju Nawaki straightened his Zanpakutō, looking proud.

"Amazing!"

The three people were very supportive, which made Senju Nawaki very comfortable.

"So what's the difference between a Shinigami and a ninja?"

From Yahiko's point of view, they are all powerful people, so why are they called different things?

Senju Nawaki said seriously: "Of course it's different!"

He remembered what the teachers at the Spiritual Arts Academy had mentioned about the Shinigami's responsibilities.

"Ninjas are just tools used by Ninja Villages for war and economic development. We Shinigami are different!"

"In addition to protecting the Land of Whirlpools, we also shoulder the mission of maintaining the balance of the Ninja World!"

"Protecting the ninja world?" Yahiko and the other two looked confused.

Senju Nawaki smiled mysteriously and said: "Let me tell you in secret, beneath the glamorous appearance of the ninja world, there are still evil spirits that devour human souls!"

"Evil spirits!!"

Yahiko and the other three exclaimed in unison.

Konan touched her arm and said in a panic: "Really, are there really evil spirits?!"

Senju Nawaki nodded seriously and said: "Of course, but we call these evil spirits Hollows!"

"Then what should I do if I encounter these Hollows?"

Konan couldn't help but ask, recalling the ghost stories her mother had told her when she was a child.

Could what her mother said be true?!

Senju Nawaki chuckled and said: "At that time, of course, we need our Shinigami to appear! Purify the evil spirits and protect humans!"

"That's so cool!" Yahiko's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I also want to become a Shinigami and maintain the peace of the ninja world!"

Uzumaki Chihiro, a senior officer at the 13th Division headquarters, stood near the window and looked out. The black cat transformed by Yoruichi lay quietly in her arms, enjoying her touch.

Behind her stood Byakuya Kuchiki, who had come to report his return.

Uzumaki Chihiro smiled faintly and said: "It seems Nawaki is getting along well with them."

She didn't expect that when she asked Byakuya Kuchiki to bring back Uzumaki Nagato, he would also bring back Yahiko and Konan.

Isn't this digging up the roots of the Akatsuki organization?

I wonder if the old Madara will be so angry that he'll yank out his oxygen tubes when he finds out Nagato was taken back to the Land of Whirlpools.
