Chapter 3: The Senju Princess and the Impossible Mission

Naruto World – Konohagakure Inside a spacious room, a young woman sat in silence. Tall and well-built, her light-blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, she was both beautiful and commanding. This was none other than the princess of the Senju clan, Tsunade. Tsunade gazed at the mysterious chat interface floating in her mind and murmured: 『Senju Princess』: A chat group...? It doesn't feel like genjutsu. 『Senju Princess』: If the items in that shop are real... perhaps I could use this to grow stronger and put an end to this war...? Just then, chaotic footsteps sounded nearby. 『Messenger Ninja』: Lady Tsunade! Trouble! Tsunade frowned. 『Senju Princess』: What is it? The ninja bowed. 『Messenger Ninja』: Lord Orochimaru has returned to the village and said... Lord Nawaki has been involved in an incident. Tsunade's eyes widened. 『Senju Princess』 (trembling): Where is Orochimaru? Take me to him, now! 『Messenger Ninja』: Yes, milady! They entered a side room where Orochimaru and Jiraiya stood in heavy silence, their faces grim. Tsunade's steps faltered. 『Jiraiya』: You... might not want to see this. 『Senju Princess』 (hoarse): It doesn't matter. Even if I see him... I might not recognize him anymore. Orochimaru wordlessly handed her a familiar pendant, the very gift she had given Nawaki just yesterday for his birthday. Tsunade caught it, trembling, and darted past them, eyes wide with horror. She entered the room: a pool of blood stained the floor. 『Senju Princess』: NAWAKI!! Clutching the pendant, she collapsed to her knees, her cry torn from the depth of her soul. Why... why did this happen?! They'd just celebrated his birthday, and he'd spoken passionately of one day becoming Hokage. 『Jiraiya』 (softly): The dead cannot come back... At that moment, Tsunade remembered the strange chat group she'd just joined: its members claimed they could accomplish anything with enough points. Could they... resurrect Nawaki? The group's members bore divine-sounding names, "God," "King," etc. Was there a way to bring back the dead? Although skeptical, Tsunade saw no alternative. She returned her focus to the interface. [Group Chat Interface , Active] 『Senju Princess』: Can this chat group... bring someone back to life? 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: Um... I don't think the group has that function. But maybe someone in the group does? 『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: We don't have resurrection methods in my world. 『Blade King』: What's happened? 『Senju Princess』: I just received word, my little brother died in battle. And yesterday was his birthday... 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: Oh no... I'm so sorry. That's heartbreaking. I'll mourn with you in silence. 『Blade King』: My condolences. Tsunade watched helplessly as sympathy flowed through the chat. But she pressed on: 『Senju Princess』: If it's possible to revive Nawaki, I'll pay anything. Please, I beg you. Carl stared at the posted mission and understood immediately: he recalled that Tsunade once had a little brother who died young, around the time she graduated from the Academy, twelve or thirteen. At this point, she was still a teen and had not yet earned the title of one of the Legendary Sannin. This must be that timeline. Resurrections, Carl's Silver Superman Template gave him that power. As he pondered, the chat reacted: 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: ???? 『Blade King』: A mission?! The group has that feature too? 『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: That's first time I've seen a mission. 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: Difficulty seems incredibly high... can resurrection even be done? 『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: Beats me. I'm a soldier, not a miracle worker. 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: I'm just an ordinary girl, this is way beyond me... Sorry, @Senju Princess 『Senju Princess』: No worries. I didn't expect anyone would pick it up. Resurrection is absurd, after all. 『Senju Princess』: Now that the mission's posted, I'll just hope for the best. If it fails, so be it... 『Blade King』: Sorry, I can't help. Watching the responses, Tsunade felt her hope crumble, resurrection really was that outrageous. 『Senju Princess』: It's okay. I'm just... giving it a try. Then, out of nowhere, the quiet newcomer spoke: 『God Among Mortals』: You know, I was curious about visiting other worlds. I might take on a mission while I'm at it. 『God Among Mortals』: Need help, @Senju Princess? Tsunade's heart raced. 『Senju Princess』: Yes! Please! If there's even the slightest chance... I beg you! 『God Among Mortals』: No problem. This is a small matter. The others exploded in chat: 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: (◎Д◎)! 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: Wait, WHAT?! The quiet newbie is a boss-level player?! Taking on resurrection like it's nothing?! 『Blade King』: WHAT?! You call bringing someone back from the dead a small matter?! Then what's a big one to you?! 『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: This is surreal... Was it already done? Within seconds: 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: Wait, Mission COMPLETE?!?! 『My Little Sister's a Chūnibyō』: Didn't it say it's extremely difficult? This was resurrection, right?! 『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: Unbelievable. 『Blade King』: I can't believe someone actually pulled it off... All jaws dropped upon seeing the reward: 『Blade King』: Holy crap... that many points?! 『Blade King』: That's... 100,000 points! I've only ever had a few score points!
