"Why is she so normal?"
The audience couldn't figure it out.
They occasionally glanced up at the real-world Fuu in the spectator seats.
Just when they were getting used to the absurdity of the Limited Tsukuyomi World, a genuinely normal person appeared!
Although the Seven-Tails inside her had that bizarre lore about laying eggs and eating people, Fuu simply refused to go along with it and it never happened.
Why? Was it just because she was one of the cores generating the Limited Tsukuyomi?
But that didn't make sense either.
As another core, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki from the Hidden Cloud Village still suffered misfortune and got locked in a cave, didn't she?
Both Fuu and Yugito felt they were at a disadvantage in this comparison.
"Tsunade, aren't you quite normal too? It's just that Katsuyu has some issues," Orochimaru said, trying to console the frustrated Hokage.
Indeed, aside from her chest size, this world's Tsunade hadn't acted much differently.
As for defending furries, that was standard behavior for people in this universe, meaning Tsunade hadn't actually done anything out of character.
The only issue was that the Slug's healing methods were perverted.
But what did the Slug's actions have to do with Tsunade herself?
It was just like how the Seven-Tails being perverted had nothing to do with Fuu.
"You don't understand," Tsunade said, glancing at Orochimaru without elaborating.
"Oh."
Hearing her response, Orochimaru grasped the implication and didn't press further.
Still, no matter how clever Orochimaru was, he could only guess that she had shifted her perspective again.
He couldn't possibly know what she had actually seen.
That's right.
Tsunade had been thinking that her counterpart in this world was preparing to ally with other ninja villages to confront Makoto and his group.
If that was the case, she needed to monitor the situation closely and transmit any critical intelligence immediately.
So she had shifted her perspective again.
And what did she find?
The Tsunade who had promised to contact other villages had delegated the task and then done absolutely nothing herself.
'Good grief, are both versions of me just a lazy bum?'
But then something even more alarming happened.
Under the guise of searching for survivors, this world's [Tsunade] began rummaging through the ruins of Konoha.
Near the bathhouse, she first picked up a small cup.
After a moment of contemplation, she wore a sorrowful expression and said.
"This is Sakura's, my disciple. I always told you to master the Byakugo Technique, but you never listened, always thinking about Menma... Now look what's happened."
It was clear that Sakura in the Limited Tsukuyomi world remained as flat as a board.
Perhaps only in the world created by 'Naruhodo' could Sakura ever receive respect.
After collecting Sakura's remains, [Tsunade] resumed her search.
A few minutes later, [Tsunade] excitedly discovered a large cup, still cradled in a net.
"Excellent! This must be Hinata! I'll transplant it onto myself!"
Snap.
Upon seeing this, Tsunade cut the mental connection.
It would be better if this world's Konoha remained destroyed!
...
Down below, at the entrance of the Hidden Waterfall Village.
Fuu stood beneath the cascading waterfall while Uchiha Hikari extracted the Tailed Beast from her remotely.
The process went smoothly.
"This has been the easiest one yet," Makoto remarked. "The Jinchuriki was cooperative, and there were only a bunch of male-woman Waterfall ninja who barely had any chakra to stop us."
"Yeah, that's right." Uchiha Hikari lowered her hand as the extraction concluded. "Eh? I just remembered that the old man who hoards money for your organization came from the Waterfall Village, right? Could he also..."
Hikari suddenly recalled Kakuzu.
Although he was a rogue ninja, the Yin Female Water literally served as the village's front gate.
Kakuzu would have had to pass through the waterfall when he defected.
Could this world's Kakuzu also be a femboy?
"Kakuzu is normal," [Konan] spoke up.
"I know his Secret Technique is evil," Hikari mused. "By stealing others' hearts, he can possess the corresponding chakra attributes. Five hearts correspond to five types of chakra."
"Not only that," [Konan] corrected her. "Now, Kakuzu possesses five genders, so there's no need to worry about whether he's become like these Waterfall ninja."
'Kakuzu has five genders.'
Makoto was speechless.
He wondered what Kakuzu's other genders even were.
'An attack helicopter or a shopping bag?'
"Actually, the Waterfall Village, Kakuzu, and our Akatsuki leader Nagato share a little-known past," [Konan] continued.
"I just went through the historical records inside the village and finally understand it."
She was combining existing historical materials to innovate new lore on the spot!
...
Up in the audience seats, Nagato's internal alarm bells rang wildly.
He kept shouting in his heart: 'Konan, shut up!'
...
But unfortunately, this world's Konan was eager to share her findings.
"Back then, the Waterfall Village's higher-ups assigned Kakuzu a secret mission to assassinate Hashirama Senju," Konan began. "Kakuzu was clever. He planned to lure Hashirama to the waterfall, using its power to turn him into a femboy and weaken his chakra. But he underestimated Hashirama's combat experience."
"Hashirama didn't fall for it. Even Kakuzu's backup plan—using Water Release to weaponize the Yin Female Water—was easily blocked by Wood Release."
"Hashirama laughed heartily and told Kakuzu that Uchiha Madara had once urinated in a river, only for his younger brother Tobirama to use Water Release to spray the river water right back into Madara's face. After witnessing something like that, Hashirama said he would never fall for water traps."
"However, while Hashirama resisted the water, the subordinate following him couldn't dodge in time."
"That subordinate soon found himself becoming more like a girl. Terrified, he returned to the Waterfall Village seeking an antidote. There is no antidote for Yin Female Water, so Kakuzu transplanted a prototype of the Earth Grudge Fear into that person to stabilize them."
"That person was originally a male from the Uzumaki Clan, who later changed his name to Mito Uzumaki and married Hashirama."
Konan paused to let the history sink in before continuing.
"After discovering the love triangle between Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, and the Nine-Tails, Mito Uzumaki despaired. He passed on the Tailed Beast, left the Earth Grudge Fear behind, and departed from Konoha. Having lost the Earth Grudge Fear, Mito reverted to being male."
"Following the Valley of the End incident, Uchiha Madara faked his death. In order to prolong his failing lifespan, Madara sought out and consumed the Yin Female Water, transforming into a femboy. However, Madara lost most of his power in the process and was captured by Waterfall ninjas attempting to research the Earth Grudge Fear. He was used as an experimental subject."
"In the end, Uchiha Madara (female) and Mito Uzumaki (male) united in captivity and gave birth to Nagato's mother."
"DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MADARA!"
Hashirama Senju, who had been enjoying the drama from the audience seats, finally snapped.
