In Naruto: Reborn With Talent

"I told you this will be a deathmatch between you two. As in one versus one, Orochimaru. I know such a concept is hard for your treacherous mind but I don't intend to let you break the rules I set." Tsunade spoke calmly with just a slight but obvious annoyance in her tone.

Inwardly though...

Where did the shitstain gain the guts to summon Hashirama and Tobirama with Edo Tensei right in front of her!?

She wanted to step in and pull his innards out of his stomach, enwrap them around his neck and strangle him with them!

But this was Sarutobi's great moment so she held herself back and just decided that Orochimaru was not walking alive out of here even if he won. Previously, she would have let him go while just secretly putting a tracking seal inside of him. The second he summoned her ancestors though... his life was forfeit.

With her piece said, Tsunade turned around with an audible 'hmph' and left Orochimaru and Sarutobi dully staring at her back as she approached the still disoriented Tobirama and Hashirama.

The atmosphere in the makeshift arena turned awkward as both Orochimaru and Sarutobi exchanged a sympathetic look full of understanding before they could stop themselves.

Both instantly shook in disgust as they realized what they had just done and the awkwardness turned to the more natural hostility and killing intent. Orochimaru might have lost his trump card but he was not giving up now.

'If I can't use the Hokages to kill Sarutobi, I will just have to use my own hands!' He spitefully thought.

After all, he didn't summon the Hokages because he thought he needed them to defeat Sarutobi. He summoned them because he thought it would bring Sarutobi anguish. Just because they were taken away didn't mean Orochimaru would be unable to go blow for blow with such an old senile coot as Sarutobi.

Neither was Sarutobi giving up. Instead of dropping his guard due to his perceived advantage, he became even more cautious. He knew how devious Orochimaru was and doubted the boy had no other trump card stored up in his ass.

Both again drew their weapons and rushed at each other before Enma met Kusanagi in yet another struggle for dominance. This time, a much more cautious one as neither Orochimaru nor Sarutobi dared to go all out in fear of being outplayed by their opponent.

A long battle of attrition and stamina started as medium and low ranked techniques flew left and right throughout the arena, devastating the surroundings within the sealing circle encompassing it.

...

While Orochimaru and Sarutobi were having their fun, Tsunade arrived near the two still immobile Hokages.

When Tobirama and Hashirama saw Tsunade...

"Oi, brother, doesn't that hot blond chick remind you of Mito? Why not try to flirt with her?" Hashirama spoke, thinking he was being quiet and from Tobirama's face, it was ever so obvious that if he could, he would have facepalmed.

God of Shinobi indeed...

Tsunade's fond smile suddenly froze for a second. She would have never thought they would not recognize her but... it was a few decades after all. Nevertheless, her left eye twitched in annoyance and her lips stretched wider, getting past fond and entering the territory of nasty and devious as she grinned at the two, her eyes gleaming the same way when she caught Jiraiya trying to peek on her.

'Uh-oh!' Tobirama and Hashirama thought as their eyes widened when they spotted Tsunade pulling her arm back in preparation for a punch. Their instincts told them to dodge and they definitely tried but...

They realized they couldn't move as they were still bound by the Edo Tensei and their expressions became dumb-struck as the world entered a slow motion for the two reanimated corpses and they could with a great reluctance clearly see Tsunade's first getting closer and closer, coated in a very concentrated chakra that became almost visible to the naked eye due to the sheer intensity of energy it contained.

The punch seemed to be extremely slow from their perspective but in reality, it was very fast. Before the two even managed to utter a sound, Tsunade's fist impacted the ground in front of them...

The entire Konoha could witness and more importantly, hear the resulting explosion as a dust cloud rose into the air above the Konoha's arena before instantly dispersing due to the shockwave that followed shortly after the first impact.

This was accompanied by such a loud crash it stopped half of the fights going on throughout the village. Even Orochimaru and Sarutobi momentarily stopped and looked towards Tsunade... only to see half of the roof missing.

Neither paid much attention to it though. Both knew Tsunade and this was nothing new. Violent tendencies and low self-control followed by property damage were her everyday modus operandi.

Since there was nothing out of ordinary, the two just shrugged and continued their fight.

Tsunade, with a self-righteous satisfaction, noted that both her grandfather and granduncle were disintegrated just as she aimed for.

Because their bodies were made by the Edo Tensei technique, the two started to be quickly reconstructed in front of Tsunade.

"Definitely reminds me of Mito... Ahahahaha!" Hashirama started to boisterously laugh, totally disregarding the fact he was disintegrated just a second ago.

"Hashirama... just shut up." Tobirama groaned. "Don't you see we have more pressing matters?"

"Huh? What could be more pressing than finally getting you a woman? Do you even realize you are already dead and still single? It's sad, Tobi!" Hashirama boisterously exclaimed and Tsunade had a hard time not chuckling. She could have sworn Tobirama actually blushed at that. But it was gone as quickly as it came.

Hearing Hashirama, Tobirama's face twitched. "I'll punch you."

"No, you won't. Neither of us can move. Tough luck." Hashirama grinned.

"Sage, just kill me again..." Tobirama muttered.

Just then the attention of the two men was attracted by the 'hot blond chick' who snorted at them, "Why, grandfather, I would have never thought you were into incest. To think you would offer your own granddaughter to your brother. Then again... it is a known fact that Senju and Uzumaki are related."

Tsunade chuckled, watching as the jaws of the two reanimated men dropped and both unconsciously gave her a once over. Not the kind of look a man gives a woman but rather, the type a grandparent gives their grandchild after not seeing him or her for a long time.

After a moment of stunned silence full of bewilderment, Hashirama was the first to regain himself. "Ts-Tsuna!? Is that you!? You grew up!" He eagerly exclaimed with wide eyes full of shining stars that made Tsunade want to take a step back.

"Oi, calm down! You are scaring her!" Tobirama rebuked, "Besides, she is right. You just offered her to me. Creep." He snarked in deadpan.

"Wha-?" Hashirama blinked before furrowing his eyebrows. His expression suddenly turned sharp, "Oh, no, no, no! You are not getting anywhere near my sweet Tsu-chan, Tobirama! Even if it would mean you dying a virgin, I forbid it!"

"I am already dead." Tobirama retorted, "And I am not a virgin..." But then he noticed Hashirama was too engrossed in observing Tsunade in fascination to listen to him, "and he is no longer listening to me. Typical." He tiredly sighed. If he could, he would have shaken his head at his brother's antics.

"As funny as this little conversation of yours is, I am already taken." Tsunade said and showed them the ring on her finger, knowing only something like this would stop them from bickering like children.

"..." Silence instantly fell onto the two of them as they looked at each other.

As the satisfied Tsunade was about to start talking again, the two spoke at the same time, threat gleaming in their determined eyes, "Who is the dead meat?"
