Disclair: Naruto and all of its characters belong to Shueisha and Masashi Kishimoto. I own nothing but the original characters I create.

'Thoughts'
-Author notes-
Chapter 233: He is Dead Too?!
There was a long pause after that.
"All of them?" Tsunade asked.
"The ones I ca across," Naruto responded.
"Were you not taught the benefits of taking prisoners? You know… for information…"
"I...maybe have forgotten about those things. But still, I doubt they could have told you anything of use. I noticed that all of them had a seal engraved into their tongues," Naruto explained.
"I see…" She could easily guess the purpose of such a seal. It made sense for the Danzo she knew to not take any risks by having one of his secret soldiers captured. "Can you tell the location of this hideout?."
"I'll mark it for you on a map. The entrance was inside an old house far from the center."
Tsunade nodded.
"Will I be in trouble for killing this Elder?" Naruto asked. Not that they could arrest him anyway, but it would be annoying if they tried.
"There will be an investigation into this incident. I will inform you of the results when I have them. But for the mont… no, you are not under arrest." Of course, Tsunade was also well aware that, at this point, there may not be a way to restrain Naruto. At least not without suffering catastrophic losses.
"Wonderful." Naruto gave her a smile, knowing that they both had reached a silent agreent.
"I would like to hear all the details about your mission with Kakashi, but… there is one matter that I wish to discuss first." Tsunade's tone grew more severe. This was the most crucial part of the conversation, and if this went wrong, things could take a terrible turn for Konoha.
"I'm listening." He waited for her to collect her thoughts.
In the anti, the ANBU from before had returned with a bottle of sake.
After he left and sealed the door, Tsunade poured herself a glass of sake and downed it in one gulp before continuing.
"I had a long conversation with Jiraiya recently…"
"He ca back and left already?" Naruto would have been able to tell if soone with an intense chakra signature like him were inside the village. "Where did he go this ti?"
"The Rain Village. He went after information on the Akatsuki leader, a man nad Pain," Tsunade answered.
"Mmm… seems a bit reckless…" Naruto had wanted to prepare a formula for the old pervert. Just in case.
"But that's not the part that got you worried." He could tell by the look on her face. "He told you about … about what I can do."
"How much of that was true? Because he loves to exaggerate," Tsunade asked.
Naruto grinned. "Did he tell you that I consud the Kyuubi?"
Tsunade nodded.
"It's true."
He saw her frown.
"I also consud the Two Tails that we acquired from the Cloud. And during our last mission, we ca across the Three Tails."
"You did?!" Tsunade did not expect that one.
"Indeed. We chased the information recovered from that fallen ninja and found one of Orochimaru's hideouts. He was not there, but we were able to follow the trail to an island inside the Mist Country."
Tsunade listened to him intently.
"Inside that island, we encountered Orochimaru himself, along with Kabuto and so kid. We als—"
"Kabuto is dead," Tsunade interrupted him.
"He was resurrected…" Naruto stated.
"That's…"
Tsunade was about to say sothing, but Naruto opened his mouth first.
"I'm not returning the reward money. I did kill him once, after all." He had earned that reward.
"I wasn't going to ask you that!" Tsunade snapped.
"Good." Because he didn't have the money anymore. "Then what? If it's about Orochimaru's thod to resurrect people… that jutsu is inside your library."
"The Impure World Reincarnation…"
Naruto nodded. "Anyways, I don't know why Orochimaru was trying to release the Three Tails, but it was a win for . I also got his Sharingan… look."
"Orochimaru didn't possess the Sharingan. I don't know wh—"
She saw Naruto open another storage scroll and began to wonder where he was storing them.
All of a sudden, there was a head on top of her desk.
It made for an eerie display next to the severed arm and eye.
'I hope no one walks into my office right now,' Tsunade thought.
It was very changed and partially burned, but she could still recognize her old teammate. "Orochimaru… he's really dead."
"Of course. I have the rest of his body here." Naruto placed another scroll on her desk. "You can open it later if you want to. It probably wouldn't fit your desk anyway."
He only avoided saying that he also acquired Orochimaru's sword, just in case she wanted to claim it for the village or sothing.
"Are the Sharingan still useful? I wasn't too sure after incinerating his previous body."
Tsunade was about to repeat herself, but then she thought otherwise. Naruto was not one to make things up.
'Could it be?…' She reached into the eyelids of the decapitated head and opened one of the eyes.
"This is the Sharingan!" she gasped.
"I just told you..." Naruto said.
"But how?… Where did he? Wait, is this?…"
"Oh...right, I forgot to ntion. Orochimaru took over Sasuke's body with his immortality jutsu… I don't know what it's called."
"Sasuke Uchiha is dead?!" Tsunade exclaid.
"Maybe you should take another sip of that." Naruto pointed at her sake. "You're overly excited. And by the way, I have nothing to do with Sasuke's demise. That's all on Orochimaru." He decided to point out.
Tsunade followed his advice and took several sips of alcohol.
"This is a lot to take in…"
"I guess…" Naruto decided to pour himself so sake as well. The wine was long gone after all.
"Mmm… this is not too bad."
