Tsunade threw herself into her research.
She used her deep knowledge of the human body and combined it with modern science.
She invented amazing new medicines and simple, powerful treatment techniques.
Soon, her name spread far and wide.
She became a famous doctor.
With her success, she established a massive medical company that helped people all over the world.
Four years passed in a flash.
It had been exactly four years since Dale brought her to his tiny, cramped apartment.
Today, Dale stood in the garden wearing his graduation gown.
He had finally finished university.
He was not a weak, tired boy anymore.
After four years of harsh training, he was a true master.
He was as strong as Tsunade.
Tsunade had also pushed her limits.
She had become much stronger compared to the past.
That evening, they sat together on the patio.
The garden was quiet.
They drank a little wine to celebrate his big day.
“Four years,”
Dale said softly, looking at her beautiful face.
“Your company is saving thousands of lives. And I finally got my degree.”
Tsunade smiled and gently took his hand.
“You worked incredibly hard, Dale. I am so proud of you,”
She told him, her voice warm.
“Your chakra is massive now. You are as strong as a Kage. We both grew so much stronger together.”
Dale squeezed her hand tight.
“We grew closer, too,”
He said quietly.
For four years, they had pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend to hide from the world.
But sitting here now, holding hands in the quiet night, they knew the absolute truth.
They could not be anything else anymore.
The act was over.
It was completely real.
“I love you, Dale,”
Tsunade whispered, looking deeply into his eyes.
“I love you too, Tsunade,”
He replied, his heart beating fast in his chest.
For a moment, everything was perfect.
But then, Tsunade looked down at her lap.
Her warm smile slowly faded away.
She raised her hand and touched the center of her forehead.
Dale followed her hand.
His breath caught in his throat.
The diamond-shaped mark on her skin was glowing with a bright, deep blue light.
“Dale…”
Tsunade started, her voice suddenly shaking.
Dale felt a heavy, cold pain drop into his chest.
He didn’t want to hear the words, but he knew exactly what the glowing mark meant.
“Your seal,”
He said, his voice breaking just a little.
“It is completely full, isn’t it?”
Tsunade nodded slowly.
Hot tears filled her sharp eyes.
“Yes,”
She answered softly, a single tear falling down her cheek.
“I have enough chakra now. The time for me to go back home… is here.”
Dale didn’t cry.
He didn’t look away or lower his head.
Instead, a soft, warm smile slowly grew on his face.
He reached out and gently wiped the single tear from her cheek.
“I know,”
He said, his voice completely calm.
Tsunade looked at him, deeply confused.
The tears stopped falling.
“Ready?”
She asked, her voice a rough whisper.
“Ready for what, Dale?”
“To go home,”
He answered simply.
“I decided a very long time ago, Tsunade. When you open that door, I am walking through it with you. I am leaving this world.”
Tsunade stared at him in absolute shock.
She pulled her hands away, her eyes wide with disbelief.
“Are you crazy?”
She asked, her heart hammering in her chest.
“You just got your degree today! You have a massive medical company waiting for you. You have this beautiful mansion, the cars, the billions of dollars. You worked so hard for four years to build a perfect life here. Are you really okay with leaving everything behind?”
Dale smiled again.
He reached out and took her hands back, holding them tightly against his chest so she could feel his heartbeat.
“You gave me all of this wealth,”
He told her, looking deeply into her sharp, beautiful eyes.
“But none of it matters. The giant house is just an empty building if you are not in it. The money means absolutely nothing if I have to wake up alone.”
He leaned closer, his voice full of pure, undeniable truth.
“My wealth isn’t the gold, Tsunade. You are my everything. My life is wherever you are.”
Tsunade stopped breathing.
A massive, overwhelming wave of love crashed over her heart.
It washed away all her fears, all her doubts, and all the pain of her past.
He was willing to throw away an entire world just to be by her side.
She didn’t say another word.
She couldn’t.
She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him into a fierce, desperate hug.
She buried her face in his shoulder, holding onto him like he was the only real thing in the universe.
Then, she pulled back just enough to look at his lips.
She kissed him.
It wasn’t a sweet, gentle kiss like before.
It was deep, passionate, and full of raw, burning emotion.
She poured all four years of waiting, longing, and intense love into that single kiss.
Dale wrapped his strong arms around her waist, pulling her flush against his body.
He kissed her back with the same burning hunger.
The quiet patio faded away.
The whole world faded away.
There was only the heat of her skin and the soft, sweet taste of her lips.
Tsunade broke the kiss, both of them breathing heavily.
Her eyes were dark with a deep, consuming desire.
Tonight, she didn’t want to just be his partner or his teacher.
She wanted to give herself to him completely.
She wanted to show him all the love she had in her soul.
She took his hand and silently led him inside the dark, quiet mansion.
They walked up the wide stairs to their bedroom, never letting go of each other’s hands.
The soft, silver moonlight shone through the large glass windows, lighting up the room.
There were no more words needed.
Clothes were gently cast aside, falling softly to the floor.
When Dale looked at her bare skin in the moonlight, he looked at her with such pure worship and absolute love that Tsunade felt her heart might burst.
She pulled him down onto the soft bed.
Every touch was slow and burning.
Every kiss was a silent promise.
As they finally came together, Tsunade let out a soft, breathless gasp.
The connection wasn’t just physical.
It was the feeling of two souls completely merging into one.
In the quiet warmth of the moonlight, they shared their deepest love, binding their hearts together forever before their grand journey into a brand new world.
Next morning
“Are you absolutely sure about this?”
Dale asked, holding a pen over a thick stack of legal papers.
“Every single dollar,”
Tsunade answered with a warm, bright smile. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“We don’t need this world’s money where we are going. The charity will use all of it to build hospitals and help sick people.”
Dale smiled back and signed his name on the final page.
They were giving away the company, the mansion, the cars, and the millions in the bank.
“It feels right,”
He said gently, putting the pen down.
“We are leaving a good mark on this world before we go.”
“You already left a good mark on my heart,”
She told him softly.
They walked out to the big, quiet garden for the last time.
The sun was shining brightly on the green grass.
“This is it,”
Tsunade said, taking a deep breath.
She bit her thumb, drawing a small drop of blood.
She tapped into the massive ocean of chakra stored inside the diamond seal on her forehead.
The blue light glowed with intense power.
She slammed her hands onto the ground.
*Poof!*
A giant, thick cloud of white smoke exploded across the lawn.
The wind blew the smoke away.
A massive blue and white slug now towered over them.
It was Katsuyu.
This time, it was her true, giant main body.
“Tsunade-sama,”
Katsuyu’s gentle, echoing voice filled the garden.
She looked down at them in surprise.
“You called me with such incredible power. And you are with a stranger.”
Katsuyu’s main body didn’t have memories of the little one.
“Katsuyu, listen to me,”
Tsunade said clearly, looking up at her old friend.
“I am ready to come back. Are the others still in the ruins?”
“Yes, Tsunade-sama,”
Katsuyu answered politely.
“You just vanished from the stone pedestal a few minutes ago. They are searching everywhere for you.”
Tsunade turned to face Dale.
She held out her hand to him.
Her eyes were full of deep love and a little bit of nervous excitement.
“Are you ready to see my world, Dale?”
She asked softly.
Dale didn’t hesitate for a single second.
He reached out and held her hand tightly, interlacing his fingers with hers.
“As long as I am with you,”
He said, his voice steady and true.
“I am ready for anything.”
Tsunade nodded.
She closed her eyes and focused the rest of her gathered chakra.
“Reverse Summoning Jutsu!”
The bright sun and the green garden instantly vanished.
The space around them twisted and pulled violently.
Dale felt like he was being sucked through a tight, spinning tunnel.
Then, he felt a hard, cold stone beneath his boots.
The air was suddenly cold and smelled heavily of old dust and damp earth.
He opened his eyes.
It was very dark.
The only light came from the fading, glowing lines of a strange seal right beneath their feet.
They were standing together on an ancient stone pedestal inside a crumbling, underground temple.
Tsunade squeezed his hand in the dark.
“We made it,”
She whispered.
They were finally in her world.
