Marvel: Trading with Worlds

In the Battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs

Kushina hurried toward the tent where the meeting was to be held after receiving her summons.

"Miss Tsunade," she greeted upon entering.

Kushina was the third to arrive. She wore a standard ninja uniform, her vibrant red hair tied into a ponytail. Her youthful beauty was striking, her pale face as radiant as a lotus in bloom.

"Sit down for now. I'll make an announcement once everyone is here," Tsunade said with a relaxed demeanor.

Facing Cloud Shinobi Village in recent days had been challenging. Tsunade bore immense pressure from having to confront the Third Raikage, a formidable opponent. 

During their battles, she couldn't afford to summon Katsuyu to assist others with healing, as she had to focus entirely on the fight.

Even so, the results had been impressive.

The Third Raikage, known for his ability to face the Eight-Tails alone, was a legend among Cloud Shinobi. 

Many within Cloud Shinobi Village believed that, were it not for their isolation from Rain Shinobi, the title of "Demigod of the Ninja World" should belong to their leader, not Hanzo.

Yet now, the Third Raikage was held at bay by Tsunade and her brother, Nawaki. The siblings worked together seamlessly, occasionally putting the Raikage in a difficult position.

Their combined efforts had bolstered the reputation of the Senju siblings, surpassing Tsunade's title as one of the Sannin. 

If Tsunade and Nawaki were to defeat Hanzo of the Salamander, they would rise as the next great legends—akin to the "God of Shinobi" himself.

There were demigods, but there was only one God of Shinobi.

The Meeting

Once all attendees had arrived, Tsunade presented an official order from the village. 

The document bore not only the seal of the Third Hokage but also the Daimyo's insignia, symbolizing the authority of both the Fire Nation and Konoha.

The decree was clear: deny all demands from Cloud Shinobi and expel every invading Cloud Shinobi from the Land of Fire.

Konoha Village provided extensive reinforcements for the frost Country battlefield, sending over 1,700 ninjas. 

Among them were powerful figures like Tsunade, Nawaki, and Kushina, whose presence alone could shift the tide of war.

There was also another scroll intended solely for Tsunade. It mentioned that Danzo would be in contact with the reinforcements from Grass Ninja Village and Taki Ninja Village. 

At least a hundred foreign ninjas were expected to arrive, which would significantly bolster their forces. These ninjas would carry a different weight in terms of power.

Additionally, there was material support, as Konoha placed much more value on the frost Country battlefield than on the other two.

"Next, the Hyuga clan ninjas will be scattered into various squads. We're going to teach Cloud Shinobi a harsh lesson," Tsunade continued. "And Kushina, your potions?"

Mid-sentence, Tsunade turned her head to look at Kushina, clearly hoping for something from her.

The others in the deliberation room discreetly looked away.

 They all knew that Kushina had a potion with remarkable effects—ten times more powerful than ordinary medicines. It was essentially like having a medical ninja accompanying them.

So when Tsunade asked Kushina for something, the others silently hoped that Tsunade would succeed. Perhaps they, too, would get a bit of the potion.

"Sister Tsunade, I don't have much left," Kushina said reluctantly. The potion had been given to her by Kain before leaving, and she had hoped to preserve it for two years. 

However, Tsunade had blackmailed her into sharing half of it when she went to the battlefield.

Tsunade chuckled. "He's already back in Konoha. You can go ask him for more when you're out. If that doesn't work, just tell him I owe him, and I'll go see him myself."

"The boss is back?"

Kushina's eyes lit up at the news, and she felt an urge to return to the village. However, she knew it wasn't realistic; she couldn't leave the front line now. 

She suppressed the thought but kept it in the back of her mind.

Tsunade confirmed, "He's back, and the Daimyo issued this order just to vent his frustration."

"Who would let those fools in Cloud Shinobi Village make such a request? They deserve what's coming!"

Upon hearing about Kain, Kushina smiled. After thinking for a moment, she pulled out a ninja bag and began rummaging through it. 

Before leaving, Kain had cast a solidified space extension spell on her ninja bag, making it the only one in the ninja world capable of holding an entire house.

Kushina pulled out over fifty bottles of healing potions from the bag and said with some regret, "This is all I have left. There's no more."

"I'll make sure to thank the ninjas on the front lines, Kushina. You'll get the most credit for repelling Cloud Shinobi next time!" Tsunade smiled and motioned for someone to collect the healing potions, preparing to distribute them later.

Nawaki, who was standing nearby, secretly smiled. Having lived with his sister and Kushina for so long, he knew how Tsunade controlled everything—whether it was chocolate, cakes, or potions, Kushina was always at Tsunade's mercy.

After the discussion about the potions, Tsunade's tone grew serious. "There are also two Jinchūriki from Cloud Shinobi Village."

"Don't worry," Kushina replied confidently. "They won't win this time. I've accumulated a lot of Nine-Tails Chakra!"

Kushina was candid. Although she hadn't fully convinced Kurama to trust her, the information Kain provided had helped reduce Kurama's hostility. 

At the very least, Kurama wouldn't cause trouble inside her. When Kushina entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Kurama wouldn't absorb her chakra anymore.

Moreover, Kushina had created a new sealing space for Kurama. Free from the shackles of the Adamantine Sealing Chains, Kurama now had a larger sealing space.

The Nine-Tails Chakra could still be used, but Kushina would return it afterward. 

This time, having borrowed a large amount of Chakra from Kurama, she was confident she would be able to defeat the Eight-Tails and the two Jinchūriki from Cloud Shinobi.
