Tsunade and Shizune stopped in their tracks. The two figures standing in front of the village administrative office gradually came into focus.
One wore a black cloak, blending into the shadows like a phantom.
The other had stark white hair and a stern, imposing expression—it was immediately clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
It was Uchiha Haru and the leader of the Kaguya Clan.
"You… you two…"
Trying to sneak away and being caught red-handed—what an embarrassing moment.
Shizune's face flushed with shame. She couldn't bring herself to look at anyone. Tsunade, too, was momentarily at a loss.
The expression on the Kaguya Clan leader's face turned grim.
He had been overjoyed when Tsunade initially agreed to help.
If Uchiha Haru hadn't warned him that things weren't so simple, if they hadn't made preparations ahead of time, Tsunade would've already slipped away.
Haru remained calm.
Everything was going exactly as he had anticipated.
The Kaguya Clan leader had been too desperate to save his son and couldn't discern the truth. He'd nearly fallen for the ruse.
Otherwise, how could such a flimsy tactic deceive the head of the infamous Kaguya Clan?
He had agreed without even questioning what the illness was or what the reward might be. Did he think medical ninja were saints?
Please. Don't forget—Tsunade is Konoha's medical ninja. Why would she give a damn about Kirigakure?
Back during the war, when the Kaguya Clan saw the young elites of Konoha, didn't they try to slaughter them all? Why would Tsunade help save them now?
Others might not know better, but Haru—who had lived another life—knew full well.
Tsunade was no longer the unrivaled medical ninja of the shinobi world.
What kind of medic is afraid of the sight of blood?
"Lady Tsunade," the Kaguya Clan leader said coldly, "I need an explanation."
"Oh, this?" Tsunade chuckled, feigning nonchalance. "The weather just looked so nice, I stepped out for a walk. I wasn't trying to leave."
She smiled confidently. "Since I already agreed, how could I go back on my word?"
She winked at Shizune.
"Y-Yes! Of course!" Shizune stammered quickly, "Lady Tsunade always keeps her promises!"
But even though she said it, her voice sounded anything but convinced.
"It's getting late. Let's head back now," Tsunade added, turning around and walking with Shizune toward the village.
Haru watched her performance from behind, unimpressed. The Kaguya Clan leader looked furious but held back—he needed Tsunade to return to Kirigakure to treat his son, Kimimaro.
Tsunade kept walking.
"Lady Tsunade," Shizune whispered nervously, "are we really going back?"
The Hidden Mist Village was thousands of miles away, infamous for its brutal Blood Mist era. Shizune wanted no part of it.
"Of course not. Let's run!" Tsunade declared.
The next instant, she vanished in a burst of speed, dragging Shizune along.
As one of the Legendary Sannin, her power was formidable even among Kage-level shinobi.
If not for being caught off guard and flustered, she wouldn't be running from anyone.
But right now, she had no choice.
When the Kaguya Clan leader saw Tsunade fleeing again, he panicked and prepared to give chase—only for Haru to stop him.
"Don't worry," Haru said calmly. "They can't escape."
Elsewhere, Tsunade had already used multiple techniques to cover distance rapidly. The two women were now deep in the forested mountains.
"They probably won't catch us this time, Lady Tsunade," Shizune panted, completely exhausted.
That sprint had taken a huge toll.
If not for years of dodging debt collectors and training hard, she would've collapsed by now.
"Naturally," Tsunade smirked and patted her ample chest.
Sometimes, having a large bust was a curse.
It definitely slowed her down.
Anyone carrying these two "weights" would struggle to move swiftly.
But before she could turn her head, her expression froze.
"L-Lady Tsunade… they… they're here!"
Shizune pointed, stunned. Standing in front of them again were Haru and the Kaguya Clan leader.
How had they caught up so fast?
This was impossible!
"Enough talking—run!" Tsunade barked, instantly using the Body Flicker Technique to disappear with Shizune again.
This time, she used her full power.
Shizune couldn't keep up at all and was dragged behind her like a flag in a hurricane.
But just as they stopped for a breath, before they could even relax—
Haru and the Kaguya Clan leader appeared once more, calm and composed.
They didn't look fatigued at all.
Tsunade had no idea Haru had placed a Flying Thunder God marker on their belongings earlier.
All it took was a single thought, and he could teleport to them instantly.
No matter how fast Tsunade ran, she couldn't escape.
Trying to flee from a shinobi with the Flying Thunder God Technique? Utterly pointless.
After two or three attempts, Tsunade finally snapped.
Damn it!
Even if she was in the wrong, she couldn't take this kind of humiliation over and over again!
Did they really think Tsunade, one of the Sannin, was easy to mess with?
BOOM!
Certainly — here is the translated and refined Naruto fanfiction chapter, fully aligned with your detailed requirements:
He punched hard.
Dust erupted into the air.
The ground trembled violently and cracked open on impact, thin fissures spiderwebbing out for dozens of meters. The sheer destructive force was terrifying.
If that punch had landed on a human body… the result didn't need imagining.
Chief Kaguya felt a rare flicker of fear. Only now did he truly understand how formidable the young woman standing before him really was.
Uchiha Haru nodded silently to himself.
That's one of Tsunade's signature techniques — her famed super strength.
By precisely manipulating chakra and focusing it on a specific part of the body, she was able to release an explosive force capable of monstrous destruction.
It was nothing short of astonishing.
"Leave."
"I don't want to hurt you. But if you insist on getting in my way, don't blame me for being merciless."
Tsunade's tone was sharp.
That punch just now — it had been nothing more than a warning shot.
If they dared block her again, the next punch wouldn't be aimed at the ground.
"Let's go," Tsunade said to Shizune, turning decisively.
The two turned to leave.
But they only managed a few steps before Uchiha Haru and Chief Kaguya once again moved to block their path.
"You're really pushing your luck," Tsunade muttered coldly. "Even a cornered rabbit will bite."
Tsunade had never been known for her patience. Her chakra surged, condensing instantly into her fist.
This level of chakra control was rare — even across the entire shinobi world.
But before her fist could be thrown, she was stopped.
Dozens of vines erupted silently from the ground, wrapping around her limbs. Shizune, too, was bound in place.
Neither of them had any idea when the vines had appeared.
Tsunade's eyes widened.
She hadn't even sensed the ninjutsu — hadn't felt the chakra build-up or seen the hand signs. That alone was shocking.
But what truly startled her was the nature of the jutsu.
Wood Release.
The legendary kekkei genkai of her grandfather, the First Hokage — Senju Hashirama — known throughout history as the God of Shinobi.
It was manifesting here… on someone else.
With a sharp exhale, Tsunade exerted her strength. A crack echoed as the vines snapped apart.
Such bindings could restrain ordinary ninja — perhaps even elite jōnin.
But they were useless against a Kage-level shinobi like her.
Moreover, Uchiha Haru had not intended to fully trap her. The Wood Release technique he'd used was basic — rudimentary at best.
Of course it couldn't restrain Tsunade, the strongest kunoichi alive.
"Who are you?"
Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him.
She had paid little attention to the quiet, hooded figure in the black cloak until now. After all, she had been planning to leave from the start. There hadn't seemed to be a reason to learn more about him.
But now that she had seen him wield Wood Release, she could no longer ignore his presence.
Uchiha Haru remained silent.
Then, his eyes flashed — turning crimson.
"Sharingan… Uchiha Clan…"
Tsunade's voice trailed off. She tensed.
But even before she could finish the thought, Haru's eyes began to transform again.
The familiar triple tomoe began to shift, reshaping into something else entirely — the swirling, connected design of a fully awakened dōjutsu.
Her pupils contracted.
"This… this is…"
Her tone dropped, voice serious. "The Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Who the hell are you?"
As the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, Tsunade had heard plenty of rumors about the Mangekyō Sharingan during her youth. Rare. Dangerous. Almost mythical in its power.
Now that she was facing one in person, instinct made her retreat a half step, unconsciously cautious.
The standard Sharingan she could handle — even counter.
But the Mangekyō Sharingan? Even she had to be wary.
And this wasn't just some random Uchiha. This man had awakened Mangekyō — and was using Wood Release.
Two legendary bloodline limits… in a single shinobi.
Slowly, Haru raised a hand and pulled down his hood, revealing his face.
His features were sharply defined, pale skin kissed with an ethereal beauty that could disarm even the most battle-hardened warrior.
Anyone who laid eyes on him would pause for a heartbeat and think: What a handsome bastard.
"I'm Uchiha Haru," he said simply.
Tsunade blinked, stunned for a second by his appearance — though her composure returned swiftly. She wasn't some lovestruck civilian.
"Uchiha Haru…" she echoed. "Never heard of you."
Which made sense.
She had left Konoha long ago. Since then, she'd spent her days gambling, drinking, and dodging debt collectors. She hadn't bothered keeping up with current events — much less power shifts among the clans.
She knew nothing about the young Uchiha who had led a breakaway faction out of Konoha and joined the Hidden Mist.
"How do you know Wood Release?" she asked sharply.
It wasn't unusual for an Uchiha to wield the Sharingan.
But Wood Release? That belonged to the Senju bloodline alone.
"Innate."
Haru's answer was cool.
Of course he wouldn't explain the truth.
And even if he did, who would believe it?
Tsunade stared at him, speechless for a beat.
Innate, he says. Well… all kekkei genkai were innate. She realized her question had been pointless.
So she shifted gears.
"What do you want?"
Haru met her gaze evenly. "My request is simple."
"I need you to treat the son of the Kaguya clan leader."
"And," he continued, "the Hidden Mist is establishing a medical corps. If you're willing… we'd like you to stay."
