Months passed by quietly.
Dale’s life became beautifully slow and completely fulfilling.
The war was over.
The hidden dangers in the village were locked away in the dark.
Every morning, Dale woke up, trained his incredible students, and enjoyed warm, happy meals with his growing family.
One evening, Dale and Tsunade were sitting alone on the wooden porch of the Senju estate.
The air was cool, and the stars were shining brightly in the night sky.
Dale turned to look at her.
She was resting her head on his shoulder, looking completely at peace.
Dale reached into his pocket.
He pulled out a beautiful, sparkling diamond ring.
“Tsunade,”
Dale said softly.
She lifted her head and blinked.
When she saw the ring shining in the moonlight, her breath completely caught in her throat.
“Dale…”
She whispered, her eyes going wide.
“I promised to always protect you,”
Dale said, his voice deep and full of emotion as he looked into her brown eyes.
“I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy. Tsunade Senju, will you marry me?”
Tsunade’s eyes filled with heavy tears.
They were not tears of pain.
They were tears of pure, overwhelming joy.
She covered her mouth with her hands.
She nodded quickly, unable to hold back her smile.
“Yes,”
Tsunade cried happily, throwing her arms tightly around his neck.
“Yes, Dale. A thousand times, yes!”
A few weeks later, the village hosted a grand, massive wedding for them.
Everyone in the Hidden Leaf came to celebrate.
The streets were filled with music, loud laughter, and falling pink cherry blossoms.
Tsunade wore a stunning, traditional white bridal kimono.
She looked like a true goddess.
Dale stood tall and handsome in his formal black robes.
All of their students—Kushina, Mikoto, Hanako, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato—threw flower petals in the air and cheered the loudest.
Lord Hiruzen himself officiated the ceremony, smiling with absolute pride.
However, at a quiet table in the corner of the party, two men were drinking heavily.
Jiraiya let out a long, dramatic sigh and poured another cup of strong sake.
Sitting right next to him was Dan Kato.
Dan was a kind, handsome ninja who had always secretly loved Tsunade from afar.
“She looks incredibly beautiful today,”
Dan said quietly, looking down at his small cup.
“She really does,”
Jiraiya agreed, his face slightly red from the alcohol.
“We never even had a chance, did we, Dan?”
Dan chuckled sadly and raised his cup.
“No, we didn’t,”
Dan smiled a bittersweet smile.
“But Dale is a good man. He makes her happier than anyone else ever could. To Tsunade’s happiness.”
“To her happiness,”
Jiraiya nodded.
The two heartbroken men clinked their cups together and drank the pain away.
Later that night, the grand party finally ended.
Dale and Tsunade returned to their quiet, private room.
The paper lanterns cast a warm, soft glow across the walls.
Tsunade stood in the center of the room.
She looked at Dale with eyes full of deep, unending love.
She slowly untied the ribbon of her bridal kimono.
“You are my husband now,”
Tsunade whispered sweetly, acting like a perfect, dutiful wife as she let the heavy silk fall to the floor.
“And I am going to be the best wife you could ever ask for.”
Dale walked over and gently touched her soft cheek.
“You already are,”
Dale promised her softly.
He picked her up gently in his strong arms and carried her to the soft futon.
There were no more wars to fight.
There were no more political enemies to defeat.
There were only the two of them, completely safe and perfectly in love.
They spent the entire night together, giving themselves to each other with absolute passion and deep devotion.
They did not stop showing their love until the warm, golden morning sun finally rose over the Hidden Leaf Village.
The next morning, the bright sunlight peeked through the window.
Tsunade slowly opened her eyes and stretched.
She let out a soft groan.
Her body felt incredibly sore, but a massive, beautiful smile was on her face.
Dale had truly showered her with so much love all night long.
She rested her head on his warm chest and traced tiny circles on his skin.
“Dale,”
Tsunade whispered softly.
“Yes, my beautiful wife?”
Dale answered, wrapping his arm around her.
“I really want to give you a lot of babies,”
Tsunade told him, her voice full of deep emotion.
“I want our house to be full of children running around. But… I know we are not ready to be parents just yet. We just got married, and the kids at the orphanage still need so much of our time.”
Dale kissed the top of her head.
“I completely agree,”
Dale said kindly.
“We have all the time in the world, Tsunade. When the time is perfectly right, we will start our own family. There is no rush.”
They laid in bed together, talking happily about their future.
They talked about new training plans for Kushina and Nagato, and how they wanted to expand the Senju estate.
But suddenly, the peaceful morning completely shattered.
Dale let out a sharp gasp.
His body went entirely rigid.
A blinding, intense blue light exploded from his chest.
The ancient god-seal that brought him to the ninja world was glowing brightly.
It was burning into his skin.
“Dale!”
Tsunade cried out in panic.
“The seal…”
Dale grunted, his eyes flashing as his power spiked massively.
“It is fully absorbed into my body!”
Tsunade’s eyes went wide.
She remembered this exact feeling.
Years ago, when she first touched the seal inside the ruin, the seal had sent her away to his world.
It was happening again.
The space around them was tearing open.
Tsunade did not hesitate for a single second.
She threw her arms around his waist and hugged him as tightly as she could.
“I am not letting you go without me!”
Tsunade shouted fiercely.
She squeezed her eyes shut.
If they were going somewhere, she hoped with all her heart that it was Dale’s old world.
*FWOOSH!*
They vanished.
When Tsunade finally opened her eyes, she was not in a bedroom anymore.
She was sitting on soft, green grass.
Tall, thick trees surrounded them.
They were in the middle of a massive, quiet forest.
Dale sat up next to her, rubbing his head.
“Where are we?”
Tsunade asked, looking around.
“Is this your old world?”
Dale stood up.
His normal eyes instantly swirled into the purple ripples of the Rinnegan.
He looked far into the distance.
“I cannot see any roads or cars,”
Dale said, sounding very confused.
“Hold on. I am going to get a better view.”
Dale used the Deva Path gravity.
He floated straight up into the sky, breaking through the treetops.
A few minutes later, he floated back down and landed softly next to her.
“It is not my world,”
Dale told her, his face looking very serious.
“And it is definitely not the ninja world. I saw a city past the trees. It has giant stone castles and old European-style walls. There are knights riding horses.”
Tsunade blinked in surprise.
“Another completely different world?”
“Yes,”
Dale nodded.
Tsunade bit her thumb immediately.
She wiped a line of blood on her palm and slammed her hand on the grass.
“Summoning Jutsu!”
With a small puff of smoke, a tiny blue and white slug appeared on the ground.
It was Katsuyu.
“Lady Tsunade?”
Katsuyu asked, her soft voice sounding very confused.
“The connection to the Slug Forest has gone. Where are we?”
“We are in a different world again, Katsuyu,”
Tsunade explained quickly.
She wanted to check the time difference.
She canceled the summon and summoned her again.
“Time is moving very differently, Lady Tsunade,”
Katsuyu reported.
It seemed the time difference was the same as Dale’s old world.
A few years here equal a few minutes at home.
Tsunade let out a massive sigh of relief.
She looked up at Dale.
Dale closed his eyes and focused.
He smiled.
“I can fully control the space time power and lightning power,”
Dale told her proudly.
“I can bring us back home right away. Do you want to leave?”
Tsunade looked around the quiet, beautiful forest.
Then, she looked at her handsome husband.
A clever, beautiful smile grew on her face.
“If time moves that slowly…”
Tsunade said, stepping closer to wrap her arms around his neck.
“Then nobody is going to notice us missing. We didn’t even have to do… paper work!”
Dale caught her waist, a warm smile spreading across his face as he understood her plan.
“Are you suggesting we stay?”
Dale asked softly.
“Why not?”
Tsunade laughed, her brown eyes shining with excitement.
“We just got married yesterday. I think exploring a brand new world is the absolute perfect way to spend our honeymoon.”
Dale completely agreed with her.
A honeymoon in a strange, medieval world sounded like a perfect adventure.
Because they were both highly trained ninjas, their first step was simple: gather information.
They used their stealth to sneak out of the forest and blend into the crowds of the large, bustling city.
They bought cloaks to hide their clothes, and they listened closely to the people talking in the busy markets.
They learned they were in the Kingdom of Lugunica.
But the biggest surprise came when Dale stopped to listen to a shopkeeper.
“Tsunade,”
Dale whispered, his eyes wide with shock.
“They are speaking English. It is an old-fashioned accent, but it is definitely the language of my world.”
Tsunade smiled proudly.
“Good thing I learned English when I was in your world,”
Tsunade replied softly in perfect English.
“Now we can actually understand everyone.”
They spent the morning walking around the capital.
They saw strange carriages pulled by giant lizard-creatures, and they saw people with animal ears walking right past normal humans.
As they were watching the crowd from the shadow of a tall building, Dale suddenly grabbed Tsunade’s arm.
“Look down there,”
Dale whispered, pointing at the middle of the street.
A young boy wearing very strange clothes had just appeared. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
One second the street was empty, and the next second, he was just standing there, looking completely confused.
He wore a black and white track jacket and held a plastic shopping bag.
“Did he just teleport?”
Tsunade asked, narrowing her eyes.
“I don’t think so,”
Dale answered quietly.
“I didn’t feel any chakra or space-time energy. He just… popped into existence.”
They watched the boy closely.
The boy started trying to talk to the strange animal-people walking by.
“This is getting even weirder,”
Dale said, listening to the boy’s voice.
“He is speaking Japanese. But the people he is talking to are answering him in English. And somehow, they completely understand each other.”
Dale said.
“Let’s follow him. I have a feeling he is not from this world either.”
Dale and Tsunade climbed smoothly up the side of a stone building.
They ran quietly across the rooftops, following the boy in the track jacket from above.
The boy wandered aimlessly until he accidentally turned into a dark, dead-end alleyway.
Suddenly, three rough-looking thugs stepped out of the shadows.
They held cheap, rusty knives and surrounded the confused boy.
“Hand over your valuables, kid,”
The biggest thug growled, waving his knife.
The boy looked terrified.
He tried to act brave, raising his fists, but he had no actual fighting skills.
The largest thug sneered, raising his knife high, ready to stab the boy right in the chest.
Dale’s eyes sharpened.
“I’m going in,”
Dale said softly.
Before the thug could even swing his knife down, Dale dropped from the rooftop like a stone.
*Crack!*
Dale landed right in the middle of the alley, perfectly between the boy and the three thugs.
The stone ground cracked under his boots.
The thugs froze in pure shock.
Dale didn’t even look at them.
He just sighed, keeping his hands loosely in his pockets.
“Three armed men against one unarmed kid?”
Dale asked in clear English, his voice completely calm but carrying a heavy, terrifying weight.
“You should drop those knives right now. I really do not want to start my honeymoon by fighting street trash.”
The three thugs did not drop their knives.
Instead, they looked at each other and laughed loudly.
“Who do you think you are?”
The biggest thug sneered, tightening his grip on his rusty blade.
“You just made a huge mistake jumping down here. Now we are going to take your money, too! Attack him!”
All three thugs rushed at Dale at the exact same time, swinging their knives wildly.
As the first thug swung his knife toward Dale’s chest, Dale slightly shifted his shoulder.
The blade missed completely.
*Thwack!*
Dale instantly kicked his leg up, striking the thug hard in the stomach.
The large man completely lifted off the ground and crashed heavily into the brick wall, instantly knocked out.
The second and third thugs froze, their eyes wide with panic.
Before they could even blink, Dale moved.
He was just a blue blur.
*Smack!
Smack!*
Dale chopped the back of their necks with the side of his hand.
Both thugs collapsed to the dirty floor like broken puppets, completely unconscious.
The entire fight lasted less than three seconds.
The boy in the track jacket was standing against the wall, staring at Dale with his mouth wide open.
He dropped his plastic shopping bag in pure shock.
“Woah…”
The boy whispered, his eyes sparkling like he had just seen a superhero.
“That was amazing! You just beat them up without even trying! Are you some kind of martial arts master?”
Dale turned around and smiled calmly at the boy.
“They were just street thugs,”
Dale said kindly.
“They swing their weapons way too wide. Are you hurt?”
“N-No, I’m perfectly fine,”
The boy quickly shook his head and stepped forward.
He bowed deeply, his hands pressed to his sides.
“Thank you so much for saving my life! That was way too close.”
The boy stood up straight and pointed a thumb at his own chest with a bright, energetic grin.
“My name is Subaru Natsuki!”
The boy announced loudly in Japanese.
“I am completely lost, and I have absolutely no idea what is going on. But I am very glad I met you, mister!”
Dale looked at the boy closely.
He heard the name ‘Subaru Natsuki’.
He heard the clear, modern Japanese.
He looked at the plastic bag lying on the ground.
It was a normal convenience store bag from Earth.
Dale was absolutely confident now.
This loud, energetic kid was definitely from his old world.
“It is nice to meet you, Subaru,”
Dale smiled warmly.
“My name is Dale.”
Just then, Tsunade dropped silently down from the rooftop, landing softly right next to Dale.
Subaru jumped back, startled.
Then, he looked at Tsunade.
His eyes went incredibly wide as he stared at her stunning beauty and her very impressive curves.
“Whoa…”
Subaru whispered, his face turning slightly red.
“She is beautiful. Is she an elf? Or a magic knight?”
Tsunade crossed her arms and smiled, clearly amused by the funny boy.
“She is my wife,”
Dale said proudly, wrapping his arm around Tsunade’s waist.
“Her name is Tsunade. And trust me, Subaru, you do not want to mess with her. She hits much harder than I do.”
