Chapter 23: If you're afraid I'll die... then just marry me sooner!
The video continues: Tsunade is currently transferring chakra to Ōnoki!
"I'm running out of chakra. Let this be my final gamble!"
Ōnoki unleashes his full strength.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
In an instant, white light engulfs all of the wooden clones.
Even Uchiha Madara's real body, due to using Susanoo, failed to absorb the attack with his Rinnegan in time and lost half of his body!
"Madara!"
Suddenly, a massive water dragon wrapped around Uchiha Madara.
Just as he absorbed half of the water dragon, countless grains of sand bound his left hand, and his whole body was paralyzed by lightning!
But unfortunately for them—they were up against Uchiha Madara!!
"No wonder you carry the title of the Five Kage!"
"In that case, I—Uchiha Madara—will go all out!" Madara said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
With that, he activated his Complete Susanoo!
Tsunade looked at the Susanoo, as large as a mountain, and sighed:
"Grandfather actually fought against such a monster…"
Uchiha Madara said expressionlessly:
"I told you before, the only one who can stop me is Hashirama. Too bad... he's no longer around."
"But for you all, that might actually be a good thing…"
Saying that, he controlled his Susanoo and slashed down two distant mountains in one swing!
"If it were just me, the destruction wouldn't be on such a scale!"
The Five Kage looked in shock at the two mountains sliced in half:
"This is Uchiha Madara!"
Ōnoki asked in confusion:
"Then why… why didn't you kill us back then?"
Madara explained:
"What adult seriously fights with children?"
"Enough of this nonsense! Are you all done yet?"
He then controlled his massive Susanoo and walked toward the Five Kage.
Just as Madara was about to end this farce
his body began to glow with a white light!
Madara looked at his body calmly:
"So, the Edo Tensei has been undone. Seems like you have a capable person on your side, too."
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"
Even as his body was falling apart, Madara launched a jutsu at the Five Kage.
At that moment, Mei Terumi couldn't even summon water-style jutsu anymore—
Luckily, Tsunade blocked the attack for them!
But the cost: she exhausted the last of her Strength of a Hundred Seals chakra.
The markings on her body vanished.
Madara then controlled Susanoo and charged at Tsunade!
Tsunade looked at the incoming attack and, too weak to continue, collapsed!
Just when it seemed all hope was lost—a green light flashed and took Tsunade out of harm's way!

[Who saved Tsunade? Choose one of the following!]
A. Naruto Uzumaki
B. Sasuke Uchiha
C. Dan Katō
D. Sakura Haruno
[Quick Answer Starts Now!]
[Congratulations to Shimura Danzo for buzzing in first!]
Danzo: I choose A, Naruto Uzumaki!
Ōnoki: Why are you even answering?!
Danzo: Why can't I? Just because I'm old? My hands are faster than yours!
Ding!
[Wrong Answer!] Danzo's sealing techniques have all been stripped!
Ōnoki: Hahaha! Fast hands are useless if you're wrong!
Danzo: Doesn't matter, I'm already dead anyway. Ninja techniques are pointless to me now.

[Congratulations to Dan Katō for answering correctly!]
Dan: I choose C.
Tsunade: …Dan…
Dan: Tsunade, I'm already dead. Go pursue your happiness.
Tsunade: Mm.
Jiraiya: Don't worry, Dan! I'll look after her!
Tsunade: Shut up, Jiraiya!
Dan: I'm counting on you, Jiraiya.
Tsunade: …
[Correct Answer! Dan Katō is awarded 5x his chakra!]

Video continues:
It was indeed Dan Katō, who used the Spirit Transformation Technique to save Tsunade one last time!
The Five Kage were confused:
"But the Edo Tensei was undone—why hasn't he disappeared?"
Madara explained:
"Edo Tensei is a jutsu that summons the dead. But it has a flaw—if you know the hand signs, you can cancel the summoner's control yourself."
"Tell the jutsu user this: Forbidden techniques must not be abused."
"Release: Impure World Reincarnation!"
Madara quickly performed hand seals and released the Edo Tensei.
"A mere technique like this could never bind me!"
"Alright then—Complete Susanoo. Anyone who's seen it is already dead!"
"If I keep using it after retracting it, it'll be embarrassing…"
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Madara formed a seal and launched a powerful attack at the Five Kage!
By now, the Five Kage were completely exhausted, unable to resist.
In an instant, the Fourth Raikage, Gaara, Ōnoki, and Mei Terumi were all blown away—
Unconscious on the ground!
Tsunade was also crushed under a fallen tree trunk!
Madara didn't even glance at the defeated Five Kage.
He turned and headed toward Obito!

[Question: Are the Five Kage dead?]
[Quick Answer Begins!]
Ding!
[Congratulations to Minato Namikaze for answering first!]
Minato: The Five Kage are not dead!
Danzo: Minato! How are you so sure?!
Minato: Didn't you notice they were all present at the wedding scene earlier?
Ōnoki: Clown!
Izuna Uchiha: Can't help it! That's the kind of student White-Hair (Tobirama) raised.
Hashirama Senju: Danzo! Stop embarrassing us!

[Correct Answer! Minato is awarded 5x his chakra!]
Video continues:
Not long after Madara left, a weak Tsunade bit her thumb and summoned a giant Katsuyu.
Katsuyu saw Tsunade's injuries and moved to catch her body.
Tsunade weakly said:
"Forget about my body for now. Move the other Kage to my side! I can still save them…"
Soon after, Katsuyu gathered the Four Kage together.
The split parts of Katsuyu crawled onto the Kage and stabilized their conditions—just enough to keep them alive.
Suddenly, three figures landed near Tsunade.
"Just as expected, Tsunade…"
Orochimaru said with a sly smile.
He approached with Suigetsu and Karin at his side.
Katsuyu grew tense:
"Lady Tsunade!"
Orochimaru looked at her aged and frail body and said coldly:
"You were too reckless, Tsunade."
Tsunade barely moved and said weakly:
"Orochimaru…"
Katsuyu held a mouthful of acid, ready to spit at Orochimaru at any sign of danger.
Orochimaru said:
> "I'm here to save her. If I do anything suspicious, you can kill me on the spot."
He instructed Suigetsu to support Tsunade's body and had her bite Karin to restore her vitality.
Tsunade regained her youthful appearance!

[Fourth Mizukage: Tsunade, I acknowledge you! You're stronger than I was!]
[Tsunade: I didn't expect to be saved by Orochimaru in the end…]
[Orochimaru: Your focus should be on this—didn't Jiraiya die in that video?]
[Tsunade: Jiraiya…]
[Naruto: Pervy Sage!]
[Jiraiya: Yo! Of all people, you're the one who noticed me, Orochimaru!]
[Jiraiya: How's life back in Konoha? Familiar? Cozy?]
[Orochimaru: Feels… nothing.]
[Jiraiya: Figures.]
[Tsunade: Jiraiya…]
[Jiraiya: Don't worry, Tsunade. I'm doing just fine now.]
"If you're afraid I'll die again—then just marry me already! That way I won't run off anymore."
[Tsunade: Okay!]
[Hashirama: Woah!]
[Mito: Little Tsunade is finally getting married!]
[Naruto: Pervy Sage, you'd better stay in the village from now on!]
[Jiraiya: Fine, kid, I won't go out anymore!]
