Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

The sudden rain had just stopped, and with a hint of paleness appearing on the edge of the sky, the halo of morning light painted the sky, ending this long, wet and cold rainy night.

On the battlefield, the cracked ground was covered with gullies, evidence of the fierce battle last night.

Two huge wooden dragons pierced through the mountain and formed in mid-air, standing motionless in the cold wind. One of the dragons still had the unconscious Lao Zi in its mouth.

After losing the blessing of Wood Release Chakra, they were just two giant solid wooden sculptures.

"Sorry, Tsunade, I can only help you up to this point." Nian looked at Tsunade and smiled gently.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. I owe you... a favor." Tsunade pressed her chest and said softly, "I know you don't care about the village, so I owe you this favor."

Then what are you going to give in return... Nian suddenly laughed out loud. If it were his uncle, he would definitely say this.

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, it's getting late, I should go."

"Hmm?" Tsunade tilted her head in confusion, her bangs falling on her forehead and her light golden hair swaying in the wind.

Looking at that lovely appearance, Nian couldn't help but reach out and smooth her hair. His fingertips touched the soft face, and then jumped back as if he had been electrocuted.

Tsunade's pretty face flushed, and she did not reject this seemingly intimate physical contact, but her heart was beating wildly, as if ten thousand deer were bumping into each other unscrupulously, causing her heavy chest to rise and fall slightly.

"That..." Nian pointed at the wooden dragon behind him, "I must take the Four-tailed Jinchuriki away. Uncle said that no accidents can happen to the tailed beasts."

"Oh oh..." Tsunade nodded in confusion, then frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully: "I have a question, Uchiha God... Why does your uncle care about the tailed beasts?"

"This question exceeds your authority." Nian's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a playful arc, "You are not qualified to know this now."

"Qualifications? What qualifications?"

Nian shook his head silently and smiled without saying anything.

At this moment, a black shadow came from the sky, getting closer and closer with the sound of whistling wind. Tsunade immediately raised her head nervously and assumed a fighting stance.

She looked closely and saw that it was a strange-looking big bird. Even with her experience as the princess of Konoha, she couldn't recognize what kind of ninja beast it was.

"Don't be nervous, we are all familiar faces." Nian turned around and raised his head with her, watching the big bird gracefully land on the ground.

Several faces came into view and Tsunade was suddenly stunned. Her frowning brows subconsciously relaxed. Indeed... they were all acquaintances.

Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, Kato Dan, and the handsome guy who waved his hands crazily and said "hello", is... Obiru???

"How did you guys get together?"

She rubbed her eyes, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. Her gaze seemed to travel through time. Everything in front of her was not the battlefield of the Rain Country, but the graduation ceremony of the Ninja School that year. Familiar faces appeared before her eyes, and finally disappeared in a moment of realization.

Beiluo jumped down from the fusion bird with a warm smile on his face, "Tsunade, it's been a long time since we last met. You are as beautiful as ever."

Tsunade looked at Hiruhu, then at Orochimaru, and finally her gaze fell on Nen. Recalling what Orochimaru had said outside the Uzushio Village, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, "So... So you guys are really together..."

Nian raised his chin towards Hiruhu and Orochimaru, "Did you succeed?"

Orochimaru shrugged, looking nonchalant, "It's just a warm-up. If you take it seriously, you'll be defeated in seconds."

"Well, Orochimaru can handle it alone." Biluohu put his arm around Nian's shoulders and winked, "Hey, we're late enough - hey, why did you elbow me..."

Nian felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately Tsunade's attention was not here. While the three of them were chatting, she had already run to Hatake Sakumo and confirmed the battle intelligence of last night.

After learning that it was Orochimaru and Obito who called for help for their companions, Tsunade was silent for a moment, her brows suddenly became firm, and then she turned around, bowed solemnly to the two of them, and did not stand up for a long time.

"This is..." Beiliu tilted his head.

Orochimaru crossed his arms around his shoulders and raised his face slightly, "Tsunade, it's too early to bow now. To tell you the truth, our purpose is not simple."

"I know, but no matter what your purpose was, you saved the village... No, you saved my companions." She stood up slowly, "I'll remember this favor."

Orochimaru was a little surprised, and his pupils shrank slightly, "It seems that you have finally grown up a little, Tsunade."

Tsunade took a deep breath, patted her face to adjust her expression, and gave Orochimaru a provocative smile, "Yeah, wasn't that what you wanted to hear me say when you hit me in the face with your Nimbus last time?"

Orochimaru disagreed, "Haha, if one day we attack Konoha, I hope you will still have the awareness you have today."

"Let's put one thing first." Tsunade looked calm.

"That's right, let's keep things to ourselves." Orochimaru politely extended his hand and gestured, "If you feel unhappy, you can always seek revenge on us."

Tsunade frowned, and some not-so-nice memories flashed in her mind, "I hate this sentence."

"Let's stop reminiscing about the past." Nian walked up to the two of them and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone, it's time for us to go."

"Yes, the prey is already in my hands. I can't wait any longer. When the light of disaster comes, I will take the first step." Beiluhu showed an intoxicated look.

"Prey, the Light of Disaster?" Tsunade showed doubt on her face. She had just learned from Hatake Sakumo that Orochimaru and Obito had abducted the explosive ninja of the Iwagakure Village.

"Tsunade, if you are interested, I don't mind sharing my path to good fortune..."

Orochimaru skillfully covered Hiruzen's mouth and jumped onto the strange bird with an expressionless face.

Nian bent her knees slightly, did an elegant somersault and stepped on the bird's back. She put her hands behind her back and turned back to smile at Tsunade.

"Then, see you later."

The big bird let out a long cry, then spread its wings and flew into the sky with the three people, slowly disappearing into the clouds and disappearing without a trace.

"Goodbye." Tsunade murmured in a voice that only she could hear.

……

High in the sky, a strange bird flaps its wings and soars.

"What are you going to do next?" Nian looked at Beiliuhu.

"The time has come. Although the conditions for devouring a single individual are not that harsh, we still need to prepare some techniques in advance. Let's go directly to Stone Ridge Mountain." Bei Liuhu's eyes revealed a hint of expectation:

"Master promised me that he would come to watch the ceremony that day."

Orochimaru and Nen looked at each other and saw a hint of envy in each other's eyes.

"By the way, what has Master been busy with lately?"

"At the base, accompanying my aunt to practice the magic of the cat house."

Orochimaru's eyes moved, and he recalled his experience in the Ryuchi Cave. "Master, are you going to practice fairy arts?"

"No, it's just for reference." Nian's tone was filled with a hint of pride, "Uncle is planning to create his own magic."

"Created his own magic? That's indeed his style." Orochimaru thought about it for a moment and immediately expressed his understanding.

With strength like that of the master, he naturally would not bother to practice the magic arts of various fairyland.

Thinking back to the time, the perfect immortal mode in Longdi Cave that he was so proud of, which he had cultivated for two and a half years, was shattered by someone else's casually called "Second Life Gate", which made him doubt his life for a while.

"If that's the case... I'll be more confident if I refer to more immortal techniques." He pondered for a moment, thinking to himself.

The fused monster bird spread its wings, and its ten-foot-long body flew out smoothly among the clouds. It opened a chakra barrier around its body and began to accelerate at a constant speed towards the northern part of the Rain Country.
