Thanks.

Ryuujin96:

I appreciate the sentiment and I'm glad you're enjoying the story still.

Guest (Jun. 19, 2019):

Actually, I put that in there because putting "If you don't like the story aspects I tell you from the start I'm going to use, then either don't read it or bitch to me about them" would take too long. I, in fact, have no problem with constructive criticism. For instance, saying that a certain part of a story should be more flushed out is example of what I not only have no issue with, but appreciate. What I do have an issue with is people, for instance, skipping the warnings I take the time to put in the very beginning to let them know it's a harem story and then they just complain about it being a harem story three chapters in.

Whatever floats your boat.

Chapter 20:

Slug Princess Returned

"It's been a while since we've seen each other all right, you old snake," Tsunade said, "So, what do you want?"

"Well, you see, I recently tried to invade our former home, but unfortunately, I underestimated our enemies," Orochimaru said, "As such, I realize that I need to add a bit more power into my ranks and you were the first person I thought of. With your powerful skills in combat and your medical skills, we'd be able to succeed."

"And what makes you think that I would actually join you in that?" Tsunade asked, "I might not be very fond of the village, but I don't see the need to completely destroy it."

"Oh, please, we both know that you hate the village as much as I do," Orochimaru said, undisturbed by her attitude, "The village caused the death of your dear younger brother and that lover of yours. That's not even including your dearest little sister-figure, Kushina. You detested the village so much that you left and never went back. You do everything you can to avoid the place. Hell, you drown yourself in gambling and booze just to forget it all."

"And you think that means I want to wipe it out? Just kill them all?" Tsunade asked in shock.

"And why not? Think of how much better you'll feel if you do," Orochimaru said, "But if that isn't enough of an incentive, then perhaps I could off one even better. I could offer you your lover and your little brother back. I could bring them back from the dead. All you have to do is join me."

Tsunade began to pace back and forth as she considered his words.

"That does sound like a really good offer," she said, "I would give anything to see Nawaki and Dan again." Orochimaru's smile widened as he heard her admit to liking his offer. "However, I know they would never forgive me for choosing them over the safety of the innocent people in the village. Besides, you're clearly hoping I didn't know that Kushina's son managed to survive, despite what I'd originally believed. So, no, I won't be helping you. In fact, I'm going to bring you in and take the job sensei's offering. I might be a fool to do it, but I'm taking the position of Hokage and bringing you in."

"That is a real shame, Tsunade," Orochimaru said as he and Kabuto moved into combat stances, "But I suppose I should have expected this. Clearly, the booze has rotted your mind and you are too foolish to realize that such considerations are worthless. Regardless, if you won't join me, then I guess I'll just have to kill you before you become a threat to my plans."

"Bring it!" Tsunade shouted before leaping at them, her powerful fist reared back as she prepared a powerful punch.

Meanwhile, Wukong and Naruto were searching for where Tsunade might have gone with Tenten, Jiraiya, and Shizune following them

"Damn it, where the hell did she go?" Naruto demanded.

Wukong looked around sniffing the air, "Can't tell. She must have done something to cover her scent, plus it's harder to track someone by scent through a city."

Just then, there was a massive explosion of dust and smoke several blocks away.

"Well, that was pretty convenient," Jiraiya said.

"Yeah, no way, anyone else around her can cause a mess that big," Wukong said, nodding.

"Then, let's go!" Naruto said, sprinting towards the plume of smoke with his brother and allies following close behind him.

Right after that there was another explosion further away from the first, then there was a third a moment after that, and then a fourth.

"Guess whoever she's fighting is pretty tough!" Naruto shouted.

"Doubt it's Itachi and his fishy girlfriend," Wukong said, "They wouldn't have any reason to pick a fight with Tsunade. Gotta be Orochimaru."

"Then, we better get to her!" Jiraiya shouted as the group moved faster with a burst of speed.

Back with Tsunade, the last Senju was fighting for her life against not only her old teammate, but also his right-hand-man and four other members that had been hiding in the shadows, likely just in case she happened to resist their master's request, just like she did.

Tsunade managed to throw Orochimaru out of the city into the surrounding plains with her chasing right after him. She spun around and grabbed the largest member of the Sound Four's arm before slamming him hard onto the ground. The girl playing the flute sent her three summons at Tsunade, but she delivered a powerful roundhouse kick to knock the three ogres away from her. That gave the four-armed teen an opening to fire a sticky substance to stick her to the ground and her hands together.

"Got her now!" Kabuto shouted as he charged her, his chakra scalpel preparing to stab her when Naruto came out of nowhere and socked him across the face, "Hands off the hag! If anyone's gonna kick her ass, it's going to be me!"

Wukong and the rest of their group landed right afterwards.

"Been a while, you pedophilic snake," Wukong said, "You still recovering from the whooping Goku-sensei and Vegeta-sensei gave you?"

Orochimaru growled at the intruders and the reminder of the interlopers in his invasion, "Those annoying fighters were the main reason my invasion lost and I didn't get my revenge on that old monkey! I might not be able to hurt them, but I can hurt you as a way to get back at them!"

Orochimaru and his followers regrouped and prepared to fight Tsunade's reinforcements. Wukong charged the large man and the four-armed man knocking them away. Naruto went after Kabuto and the two-headed member of the Sound Four, punching and kicking them away from their allies. Tenten went after the lone female on the enemy side while Shizune sought to help Naruto with Kabuto and the two-headed enemy. While these fights were starting, Jiraiya and Tsunade both squared off against their former teammate.

"I should have known both of you failures would join together," Orochimaru said, "The self-proclaimed super pervert and the drunk medic too afraid of blood to do her job. If you think any of your little friends will win, you are sadly mistaken. Even if those two annoying boys were trained by those strange fighters, they won't be any match for my soldiers."

"I think you seriously underestimate them," Jiraiya said, "But let's focus on our own fight!"

With that, the three sannin began to make a series of handsigns before each slamming their hands onto the ground and shouting, "Summoning jutsu!"

With three massive bursts of smoke, the three legendary ninja summoned their boss summons with Jiraiya summoning Gamabunta, Tsunade calling upon Katsuyu, and Orochimaru bringing forth the infamous Manda.

"Orochimaru, what do you think you're doing calling me here? And without having sacrifices prepared!" the massive snake demanded.

"Do not worry Lord Manda, I will be happy to provide you with sacrifices once we deal with these nuisances," Orochimaru said.

"Fine, but I expect the number of sacrifices to be three times the usual amount!" Manda insisted.

"Very well," Orochimaru agreed.

"Lady Tsunade, may I be of assistance?" the giant slug asked.

"Yeah, we need to teach my old teammate a lesson, Katsuyu."

"As you wish, my lady," the slug said.

"Jiraiya, what do you think you're doing, you damn pervert!?" Gamabuta demanded.

"We've got to deal with Manda and Orochimaru, Gamabuta!" Jiraiya said, "I promise I'm not up to anything!"

"Fine, let's deal with this overgrown worm," Gamabuta said.

Wukong sped towards his opponents using his powerful strength to easily hold the large Sound ninja, who identified himself as Jirobo, and the four-armed teen, who's name was Kidomaru. Both of the Sound ninja attempted to trap the monkey-tailed ninja, but with his superior strength, he was able to smash through the rock prisons and, with his speed, he was able to easily dodge the wads of sticky substances Kidomaru fired. Naruto, on the other hand, was using his nine-tailed girlfriend's chakra to prevent Sakon and Ukon using their body snatching technique. At the same time, he was using his power pole to keep Kabuto from getting too close with his chakra scalpel.

"You won't keep me away from you forever, Naruto-san," Kabuto said with a smirk, "Besides, my comrade might not be able to hurt you, but that washed-up has-been's apprentice doesn't have any such protection!"

"Shizune-san!" Naruto shouted just as Ukon's body disappeared and reappeared on Shizune's body.

"I'm gonna have some fun with this body," Ukon said, smiling, as his appearance changed with the activation of his and Sakon's curse seal.

"Let her go!" Naruto shouted.

"Watch your back, brat!" Sakon shouted as he attempted to attack Naruto from behind.

"Extend!" Naruto shouted and the other end of his power pole shot out, slamming into Sakon's gut and sending him flying away.

"No!" Ukon shouted, "You hurt my brother, you little brat! Now, you'll watch as I rip this slut's body apart from the inside out!"

"You might be bonded to me," Shizune said as she forced her hand to pull a needle out, "But I'll bet you're not as adapted to certain substances as me!"

She forced her arm to drive the needle into her own arm.

"Wh-what!?" You crazy bitch!" Ukon shouted as he hastily jumped out of Shizune's body.

"Heh, not a fan of poisons?" Shizune smirked as she slightly swayed on her feet.

"Shizune-san, are you okay?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, just a little nauseous from the poison," Shizune said, "I'm glad I trained to be resilient to most poisons."

Ukon and Sakon snarled at her as they fused back together.

"So, you guys like to attack together? Well, so do I!" Naruto shouted before he created a number of shadow clones and launched a combined assault on the three men. Each of the clones created rasengans and drove them at the three men. They tried to dodge the attacks, but they still managed to get hit by the powerful attacks and be sent flying.

"H-How does that brat know such a powerful attack?" Kabuto asked as he fought to stay conscious with his healing ability not working enough to repair the damage from the devastating attack, "He's supposed to be the weakest of his class."

Tenten, meanwhile, was using her multitudes of various weapons to keep the three ogres at bay, while she was taking potshots at her redhaired opponent. Unfortunately, Tayuya's flute was giving Tenten enough of a sense of vertigo that even her nearly flawless aim was just off enough that Tayuya could avoid serious injury from the thrown weapons.

"Jeez, you are fucking annoying!" Tayuya shouted, "Just hurry up and get crush already, you damn Leaf bitch!"

"Like hell!" Tenten shouted as she dodged another three-way attack from the ogres. "I might not be as strong as Wukong-kun or Naruto-san or able to use those energy attacks, but I'm still a Leaf ninja and I refuse to lose to some scumbag like you!"

Tenten pulled out two of the scrolls that she used to contain her weapons and threw them into the air, the scrolls unfurling in a spiraling pattern. She jumped up into the center of the swirling and shouted, "Twin Rising Dragon!"

A storm of projectile weapons flew out and not even the ogres could withstand the attack, bursting in clouds of smoke.

"Fuck!" Tayuya shouted as she narrowly avoided the barrage of projectiles. Tenten managed speed around her as she was dodging and hit her hard in the back with a kanabo, sending Tayuya flying.

Back with Wukong, he prepared his stance and called his ki between his hands, "Time to end this," he growled before chanting, "Kaaaaaaammmeeeeeeeehhaaaaaaammmeeeee-"

"Don't know what you're doing, but I'm not letting you do it!" Kidomaru shouted as he and his ally activated their cursed seals. He prepared a powerful arrow of his substance while Jirobo used his earth chakra to augment his comrade's attack. "Combination jutsu: Spider Bow: Fierce Rock Rip!"

He fired the shot just as Wukong finished charging his attack and shouting his chant, "Haaaaaaaa!" He thrust his hands forward to fire the powerful beam of energy. The arrow collided with the beam and was disintegrated by the beam before Wukong's attack continued unimpeded and blasted both of the two Sound ninja, badly wounding both of them.

The victors of the fights joined Tsunade and Jiraiya in their three-way summon fight with Orochimaru and Manda.

Orochimaru growled with anger at suddenly being so outnumbered, "You might have won this round, but I'll make you pay! I'll make you all pay!" Orochimaru summoned some smaller snakes that grabbed his defeated allies before they made a hasty retreat, creating a powerful cloud of smoke to cover their tracks.

"Damn it, don't let him get away!" Tsunade shouted as they all dove into the smoke to try and catch him, but he was already gone.

"Damn, it makes sense he chose snake summons," Wukong said, "He's about as slippery as one."

Tsunade sighed, "We'll just have to deal with him later. Now, let's get going back to the Leaf Village. I've gotta see Sensei to find out what I need to do in order to get started as Hokage."

"So, you're gonna take it after all?" Jiraiya asked.

"Yeah, someone's gonna make sure these two psychos stay out of trouble," Tsunade said, gesturing to Wukong and Naruto, "Besides, when I die, Kushina will never let me hear the end of it if I don't take care of them."

"Awesome!" Naruto said with his enthusiasm showing itself once more, "Guess this mission's a success, Granny!"

Tsunade's eyebrow twitched at Naruto, "You are not going to be calling me that."

A/N: And there's chapter 19! Anyway, please remember to review with any comments, questions, suggestions, or constructive criticism that you might have. Thanks!
