Chapter 75 - Back in Time [1] (1/2)

''So you will become the Fifth Hokage, Hag Sannin?'' Back in the Inn, Naruto said with an indifferent expression, the only reason he was able to talk like that and stay intact is the fact Tsunade is all bandaged up after their fight, unfortunately, Orochimaru and Kabuto escaped.

Tsunade tried to stand up but her body was in pain after using her regeneration technique continuous times, as such, she could only hatefully look towards Naruto before sighing helplessly and saying: ''Yes. I'll become the Fifth Hokage, this time, the credit is yours. Come here, I'll give you a reward.''

''Reward? Are you sure you won't be punching my face and ruin it?'' Naruto said suspiciously under the laughter of Karin ''Just go, Naruto-kun. Tsunade-sama wouldn't lie.'' The redhead said.

Cautiously approaching Tsunade while maintaining distance(just in case), Naruto was now in front of her, Jiraiya laughed at his antics as Tsunade slowly removed a green-colored pendant and gave to him, that asked: ''What is this? It looks good, not that there are many things that don't look good on me, though.''

'How narcissistic, damn brat.' Jiraiya thought hatefully after remembering every single time that Naruto plotted against him but even so, couldn't find something to refute, Karin, at the side, nodded with a small blush after remembering his upper body, her nose started to bleed slightly.

'Oi oi, how did that nosebleed appear? What did you think for that to happen?' Jiraiya thought while sweating slightly.

Handing out the pendant, Tsunade looked towards Naruto as pleasant memories appeared in her head before she said: ''This was the pendant of my deceased grandpa, you know him as the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. This is the only thing I have to remind myself of him, I'm giving this to you because you're worthy of it.''

'Worthy, eh? Does this word even exist in my mind? Being worthy...' Naruto thought ironically but still took it, he felt it would be really troublesome if he refused, it's not even because he was scared of being punched by that monster.

'The First Hokage's Pendant... It seems that Naruto really made a huge impact on Tsunade's mind, worthy of being the disciple of me, the Great Jiraiya-sama!' Jiraiya thought proudly but a hint of softness appeared in his eyes, he knew just how much of a sentimental value that pendant has to Tsunade.

''...I just noticed that but you're literally the greatest Medical Ninja, why aren't you curing yourself?'' This time, it was Haku that said something as everyone looked towards him strangely - he rarely talked -, after all.

Tsunade shook her head ''I'm but what I used takes a bit of time to heal, I can't actively heal myself because what I did was to heal myself by ''forcing'' my cells to restore vitality but in turn, I lost a bit of lifespan, of course, through time, that will naturally regenerate, as long as I can have proper rest.'' she said.

''Oh.''

...

''Boruto, let's go, if we go now, we'll arrive before Urashiki does.'' A black-haired man said, his left eye was purple-colored and had lines on it - A sign of the legendary Doujutsu, the Rinnegan.

''Let's go! That damned Urashiki wants to capture the Bijuu inside dad, we can't let that happen!'' A blonde teenager with light blue-colored eyes, black-colored clothing with red-colored lines going all the way through its border said, he was also wearing a green-colored pendant.
