AN: Thanks for all the reviews! Hong Kong weather is still so hot. Can't wait till I go back to Tennessee. Tried to get some more dialogue in this chapter, I've noticed in previous chapters I shied away from dialogue.

I want to raise a point about my story: This story is AU in the sense that Momoshiki DID defeat Naruto and Sasuke. Obviously that didn't happen in the story, and as a result, you can assume the Momoshiki of my story is more powerful than Momoshiki of canon.

One of the benefits of nearly endless regenerative powers and the ability to easily recover from crushed organs or bones was that there was absolutely no limit on how rough I could have my sex. The lab table had been crushed underneath me and the sounds had solicited the concerned nosiness of one of my Shinobi, a mistake he would not recover from. After I had finally finished my fun, I sent both of the two Tobirama's back into coffins and underground. I didn't want to be reminded of what had just happened.

My amorphous robes that I had worn when entering the lab, ruined from my earlier scuffle with Tsunade, had been discarded, and I unsealed the beautiful silver with purple lining robe I had gotten made from the clothing shop. It was a silver color, with bold purple lines accenting the neck and coming down the divide, with slivers of purple branching out across the robes in mildly floral swirls.

I examined myself in the mirror, making sure I restored any cosmetic damage the experience with the Tobirama's had brought about, and donned the silver robe over my form. I smiled at myself in the mirror, noticing how my slightly disheveled hair made me look more wild than normal. It was kinda sexy.

I quickly squashed the thought that filtered across my mind about how I wasn't sexy, that no man would want me, that I had to resort to mind controlling reincarnated corpses.

One of the things Konoha had taught me was compartmentalizing, and I shoved all those thoughts deep down, to be locked away with all the other thoughts I had over time.

I briefly considered though the direct implications of what I had done. When I had constructed my female body, I had specifically replicated female organs with their proper hormone-producing function. In the past I had never had such a strong desire to be fucked, and I was honestly worried that the female hormones were effecting me adversely. I'd known I've been attracted to men since a very young age, but sex itself never really appealed to me. Since adjusting to my new body however, I had been thinking about it far too often, and the increased thoughts about sex brought about the uncomfortable and very unwanted thoughts about my ability to actually elicit sexual desire from others.

I resolved myself to examining my hormone levels later, and looking into possibly tweaking them.

I entertained the thought of journaling the experience, my practice of maintaining notes on scientific discoveries a habit I had been quite fond of. I knew it would be pointless however, I hadn't exactly taken measurements, nor did I even have up to date records on what I knew about the Edo Tensei that I could add my observations to.

I had 20 years of scientific knowledge of in which I didn't have notes for, no records of. It was a bit irksome because some of the knowledge was worthless without exact results, like the experiments I had done comparing the chemical and biological structure of wood produced by the wood release of the various shinobi who ended up with the technique over the years.

I turned to the Tsunade corpse, she had remained deactivated next to the wall during my entire experience with Tobirama.

I will admit, my efforts to alleviate steam had payed off. I was much calmer than I had been earlier.

I summoned wood tendrils which wrapped around Tsunade and formed a set of restraints, and I activated her consciousness, pushing the Senju chakra into the bond and restraining her as I had done with Tobirama all the years ago.

I realized I didn't have a table to lean on as I talked to her, so I summoned up and formed a stump of wood to sit on. A chair would've been nicer, but I'd honestly not gotten a lot of practice with more crafts-y uses of the wood release. Most of my practice with it had resolved around replicating Hashirama's brute-strength style of using massive sage-chakra augmented attacks, I had almost no experience with the more careful construction Yamato had specialized in during his later years.

One of the benefits of Yamato being the watcher Konoha had set upon me was that he was a good-hearted man who was willing to discuss with me the wood release, and use it for civilian construction. I had rebuilt Oto into a proper Shinobi village in the future, a lot of that construction and furniture had been done by a Yamato who had been suckered into helping. He had been paid of course, but he had some moral issue with taking money from the village he was employed by Konoha to be supervising, and he had redirected the offered income to "charity". Fucking idiot. I was going to spend money on an orphanage anyways, simply letting him have the credit for it had been a steal for his services.

Regardless, no Yamato chairs for me, and thus I awkwardly sat on a stump of wood as I contemplated Tsunade. She was fully immobilized, unable to speak, and although I had deactivated sage mode during the sex, I could see on her face she was in a deep seat of rage.

"Tsunade, Tsunade, that'd been awfully rude of you to punch me without even waiting for an explanation, you hurt my feelings just punching an old teammate like that"

"I'd just been wanting to have a talk with a dear old friend of mine"

She stared at me in anger, and I released the hold on her hopefully just enough to let her talk. Even if she a smidgen of other movement, the wood release would hold her.

She stared at me, and rather than speaking, tried to spit at me. It was a pitiful effort though, as the spit landed on the ground an entire foot away. Hard to really launch a ball of spit when you couldn't arch your neck.

"Why you've simply lost everything resembling manners. Did I do the technique wrong, are you just a drooling punching brain-dead moron?"

"You're an evil fucking bastard Orochimaru", she finally spoke. Her voice had a youthful pitch to it, the youthfulness I remembered during my time as her teammate but the one thing she had lacked in her aging disguise as a Hokage.

"And why would that be?" I plastered a very curious face on my look, and tiled my head almost as if the very thought that I had done something evil was confusing.

"I'm not going to fucking play your games. When Konoha learns you're reviving people again, disgracing the dead, they'll come after you. And you know Naruto and Sasuke are stronger than you, you will lose, and you will die" She had a look of determined triumph. How charming.

"Well then Tsunade, I regret to inform you that Konoha was destroyed, Naruto and Sasuke are dead, and I'm reviving you in the hopes I can work with you to prevent the entire world from being destroyed."

Her entire face grew slack with confusion and contemplation.

"Prove it you bastard, if what you're saying is really true" She had lost some of her anger, but still seemed thoroughly pissed off. Defensive distrust?

"Well given I don't exactly walk around with proof that Konoha was destroyed in front of me, please just entertain me and pretend that what I'm saying is true. Maybe later I can take you out for a walk and show you what I'm talking about" I chuckled at the image of me literally taking Tsunade on a walk like she was my pet, but she seemed to miss the implication and took on a look of contemplation.

"I'd have hoped that 20 years of peace and my instrumental-" I really stressed the word "assistance in the war would've at least earned me the benefit of the doubt." I'm sure she clearly remembered when I had come out of nowhere, directly saved her life and changed the events of the war.

"If you were hypothetically telling the truth, then can you tell me how Konoha was destroyed?"

And I did so. I relayed to her the events of her death, how Naruto had become Hokage after Kakashi, and how Momomchi Otsutsuki had made his way to Konoha, a ninja who apparently held the same powers of Kaguya, but even more chakra as he held the entire chakra of multiple worlds. I told her how I learned that Sasuke and Naurto had deployed to confront Momochi before he arrived on Earth, and how I could only assume they failed as Momochi Otsutsuki had arrived in Konoha and proceeded to destroy it with the infinite Tsukuyomi.

"Wait. Kaguya's infinite Tsukuyomi had enveloped the entire world. It doesn't make sense that this Momochi would only be able to cover Konoha"

A valid point, but I had already pondered that detail.

"I don't know the exact range of his technique, it may have covered all of Hi no Kuni, I simply know it didn't extend to Oto. A reasonable hypothesis may be that Momochi was casting some variation of the technique that sacrificed range for speed, Konoha had been absorbed quite quickly. Maybe it had to do with him not having actually revived a world tree but seemingly casting the technique from himself."

She nodded, and mused for a moment.

"If he is casting the world tree technique then we may have very little time before he moves here. What is the plan?"

I laughed, and relayed to her the events of my time travel, and my discovery of my ability to revive her. To further show her proof, I brought out both Tobirama's. I even brought Kabuto into the room, the boy knew about Edo Tensei and seemed surprised that I had killed Tsunade without his knowledge, but I shooed him out of the room without an explanation. I'd probably explain the situation later.

After I finished explaining the events that had led up to the present, I slowly relaxed the control over her movements and even conjured a stool for her to sit on.

"So you're in the past now… What are your plans?"

"Well Tsunade, I honestly don't have any. I've barely been in this world for a few days. I've been musing about the possibility of training up Sasuke and Naruto better, their status as reincarnations of Indra and Asura make them candidates for extreme power. I've also been thinking that I could use Edo Tensei to possibly combat them, much like the four hokages had helped in the defeat of Kaguya. I have recently been sidetracked by the knowledge that the Edo Tensei apparently transcends space and time, and I've not yet determined to what extent I can use that to my benefit"

I honestly didn't have much plans. I usually spent weeks or months forming plans, and I'd only just saw the destruction of Konoha and traveled to the past 4 days ago/20 years from now.

"You realize it's amoral to summon them with the Edo Tensei" She gave me a serious look, like simply telling me that would convince me to not utilize the Edo Tensei.

"Don't give me that shit. It's probably the most powerful technique in existence and in itself is a miracle. Kaguya had a somewhat right idea in preparing the world against Momochi's invasion: human souls have the ability to create spiritual chakra and thus a world where chakra is divided among herself and an army of white zetu would be stronger than a world where she was the only one with chakra. A world where an army of Edo Tensei soldiers remain to fight Momochi? Even superior."

She stared at me blankly.

"Regardless of your claim, human souls are meant to rest in the pure world after death"

This bullshit.

"And how is that working out for you dear? Do you remember any of the afterlife? Is the pure world anything but endless oblivion?"

She stared at me for a few moments.

"At the very least, let's put that aside for the moment. Maybe Edo Tensei is amoral, but it was instrumental in defeating Kaguya and it'll be probably be instrumental in any plan that could defeat Momochi, who apparently is far more powerful than Kaguya was."

She continued to stare at me.

She spoke again "So if we're in the past, what exactly is the timeline?"

"Today is the day I originally invaded Konoha. If it wasn't obvious, I'm no longer interested in such petty revenge. Especially given, if the alternate dimension theory is true, I've already had my revenge and this isn't technically the Konoha that so spited me."

She sighed at my proclamation and gave me a tired look.

"And what exactly do you think I can do to help?"

I contemplated that question for a moment. I'd honestly revived Tsunade so she could heal Kimimaro for me. While I may be able to treat his MPA, Tsunade would be far more efficient at it and could likely directly resolve the disease rather than mitigating the symptoms with immunosuppressants.

I'd also wanted someone to talk to, someone who would understand the credit I deserved. By rewinding time, I was the world's savior. I hadn't decided yet if I would tell anyone I was from the future, and even then they'd likely not believe me, or fail to credit me with my "change of heart" that had put me in somewhat-ok graces with the Shinobi world during the 4th shinobi war.

As a long-term strategic asset however, a reincarnated Tsunade from the future would be incredible. She was an S-Rank shinobi, master healer, accomplished Hokage. The very thought was addicting. This is what I had always planned on, before Hiruzen had ruined it with his stupid death-god seal that prevented me from using the Edo Tensei. Only the beginning of what Kabuto had realized.

"I.. Have some shinobi who could benefit from medical expertise atm. In the long-term however, if you're willing to stay summoned, you'd be of extreme use. I plan on augmenting the world. Making it stronger, so it can better resist the Otsutsuki."

I didn't really plan on letting her have the final say in if she stayed summoned, I was already resolved that I would use her. However, she'd be a more effective tool if it was willing one.

She sat on the wooden stump for a few minutes in thought, before she finally made her statement

"I accept, however I have some terms if you want my help."

Terms. Ha. The very nature of Edo Tensei was that I was the one in complete control.

"And what are these terms?" I drawled

She looked at me seriously and stated "First, I want you to agree to not be an enemy of Konoha. Even if I'm no longer the Hokage, the village is still my first priority, and I will not assist you with anything if it indirectly or directly harms my village."

"Second, I want executive authority over when I can release this technique. If I want to pass back to the pure world, I believe my work is done, or that the prolonged Edo Tensei is somehow causing unintended negative consequences, I want the technique to be released."

I internally chuckled, but I let what I could only hope looked like grateful smile grace my face. She couldn't make me abide by those terms, but as long as she didn't want to be released before I was out of use for her, I could at least pretend to agree.

"I accept your terms. Would you like to get started?"

At her nod, I stood up and gestured her to do the same. I began walking towards the door as I continued talking "In order to properly augment the Shinobi world, I believe it'd be most prudent to focus on those with S-rank talent or the potential to be an S-rank shinobi, and nurture their growth. Two of the most talented Shinobi currently under my command are Kimimaro and Kabuto."

At Kabuto's name she gave me a sharp glance. She had been the one to accept Kabuto back into Konoha after the war, so surely she wouldn't protest to working with him now?

"Kimimaro unfortunately has a disease called MPA, I believe you're familiar with it. At this time however, I didn't have the ability to treat him and you refused to treat him, and he died because of it. I'd like to preserve his life this time around. He's already an A-rank shinobi, despite his current withered and weak state, and with an extra 20 years of experience will likely be a powerful tool in combatting the Otsutsuki attackers."

She looked at me. "Orochimaru, you can't simply treat everyone like they're 'tools' to be honed for combating the Otsutsuki."

"Whatever you say. You could just as easily think of it as giving a young man a new chance at life."

We kept walking up towards where I would expect Kabuto to be. She then spoke up "I was also thinking. I know at least the basic knowledge behind 15 years of medical advancements going into the future. If you're serious about 'augmenting' the shinobi world, then shortcutting them 15 years of advancement would go a long way to improving the medical field beyond what it is or was. I could write a book detailing what I know and it could be sent to the Shinobi hospitals around the world, to at least give them an improved theoretical understanding of medical techniques."

I looked at her. Not a bad idea. I didn't really care, but it would be a waste if the scientific medical world spent 15 years relearning what was already known.

"That's not a bad idea. Here we are." I showed her into a room where I could sense Kabuto, and he immediately stood up, book moving to the side as he watched me enter. He stared at my feminine form and Tsunade with surprise. I'd forgotten. Tsunade knew I had transitioned, but effectively no one knew about it here.

Whatever. They weren't due an explanation.

"Kabuto. This is Tsunade Senju. She will be working to heal Kimimaro of his disease, and you work as her assistant. Show her respect, and generally obey her commands if you feel they wouldn't conflict with my wishes."

His eyes glistened, and he gave a bow to Tsunade "Hai Senju-Sama, it is a pleasure to meet you." I'd almost forgotten how polite Kabuto was.

I led the two of them to Kimimaro and informed Kimimaro of the events, and told Tsuande I'd meet up with her in a few hours. She confirmed, and let me leave without constraint. With both Tsunade and Kabuto, I wouldn't be any help in healing Kimimaro. I needed to go sort out some of the Oto shinobi and busy them with stuff to do now that they all hadn't died during my invasion of Konoha. Plus a lot of them were still running around in a panic about the Nidaime's sudden appearance and slaughter of dozens of shinobi about the hideout.

It had taken 2 entire fucking days for someone to notice Jiriaya tied up in the tree. He'd sat there, entirely immobilized and with any chakra he tried to mold absorbed away. Orochi-fucking-maru. The asshole had left him here!

Part of Jiriaya was glad that Orochimaru hadn't killed him, but mainly he was pissed off for being humiliated and left on a tree. What if the bindings didn't wear off for weeks! What if he starved to death! In two days of boredom, Jiriaya didn't have much to do besides think angry thoughts about Orochimaru, endlessly think about food, try to prevent himself from pooping, and think about the implications of Orochimaru.

He, or maybe she? had sage mode and the wood release. And boobies. Big, perky and round boobies. Orochimaru being a 60+ year old man looking like a 20 year old hot babe with wood release and sage chakra was concerning.

Did he get the boobies so he could play with himself? Orochimaru had always struck Jiriaya as the sort of man who didn't want a women. Honestly Jiriaya wouldn't mind spending short bits of times in a smoking hot bod. He could have lesbian sex! Honestly the ideas for a new Icha Icha were the main thing to come to mind. There could be an anti-hero who discovers how to transform himself into a hot women, and then plays with himself and has hot lesbian sex. Or maybe a protagonist who finds a jutsu that turns his enemies into hot young women, who he then bangs?

That was how Jiriaya spent his next two days before he was finally discovered and rescued from his trap.

Eventually a villager had walked past, and Jiriaya had yelled out and gotten his attention. The villager luckily recognized Jiriaya as a Konoha Shinobi, and he went to fetch another shinobi. That shinobi, a chuunin, had tried to cut through the wood restraints for a few minutes in a futile effort, before he went to fetch a team of ANBU who finally managed to free Jiriaya.

He finally relieved himself and then headed to get some food on his way to reporting to the Hokage.

He went directly to the Hokage's tower and entered Sarutobi's office through the window.

Danzo was sitting in the office with Sarutobi.

"Hello Danzo, Sensei, do you mind if I talk to you for a moment, privately?"

"Jiriaya, good timing.". Sensei looked old and weary, as though he had aged a decade since I had last seen him only a few weeks ago.

"Orochimaru apparently invited Suna to participate in an invasion against us, and he is apparently in charge of a Shinobi village in the land of rice."

Danzo spoke up at this point. "We are currently discussing countermeasures to employ against him."

I stared at the two of them for a moment. "Where'd you learn this?"

I'd known about Oto of course, the new sound village, but I hadn't learned that Orochimaru was behind it.

"The Third Kazekage. He was in Konoha yesterday for the Chuunin exams and told me himself, saying he was loyal to his alliance with Konoha and was willing to work with us if we began a war against Sound."

Danzo snorted at this, his face showing that he probably had a different opinion.

Well fuck.

"Well I've some news about Orochimaru. I ran into him outside the village at a hotsprings."

Jiriaya relayed to Sarutobi and Danzo the events that transpired, the encounter at the hot spring, Orochimaru's hot new body, the use of the wood release and the sage mode. Sensei looked discomforted and defeated at every revelation, and it was Danzo who spoke up first.

"If this is all true, then Orochimaru is a far greater threat than we imagined. If he has an entire shinobi village under his control and the same kind of powers as Hashirama…"

None of it bode well, and the three men stood in silence, all contemplating the situation.

Danzo again took the initiative "While Orochimaru is dangerous, his actions in the Land of Rice Patties offers a unique opportunity to expand the territorial holdings of Hi No Kuni. It might be prudent to advise the Daimyo on the issue and see if he's interesting in trying to leverage Orochimaru's involvement in the country as a pretense for invasion."

Jiriaya sputtered at the statement, and quickly butted in "Isn't it a bit ridiculous to try and invade a country over the Kazekage's claim? We have no reason to believe him!"

The Sandaime Hokage sighed a deep weary sigh, and looked to Jiriaya. "We need more information about Orochimaru and this new village of his. If he left you alive once after running into you, it's hopeful that you might be able to get away with it again. I'm going to need you to head out and see if you can find any more information."

Hiruzen gave Jiriaya a firm glare "And remember, this is not an opportunity for you to try and chase Orochimaru down to bring him back. The man is far too gone to be allowed back. Keep your distance Jiriaya"

Jiriaya looked up at Hiruzen. That wasn't the plan. Jiriaya had been supposed to stay in the village and train Naruto for a few years.

"And you can take up Naruto's apprenticeship after you return. You'll only be gone for a few weeks, extra training with his team and Kakashi would do him good. He did well at the Chuunin exams."

The conversation quickly fell into a retelling of the Chuunin exams, which Jiriaya had unfortunately missed due to his vacation tied to a tree. Apparently Naruto had beaten the Hyuuga boy, Shino Aburame defeated the Kazekage's eldest son, the Kazekage's daughter had defeated Shikimaru Nara in a match where the Nara kid forfeited after winning the match, and the Ichibi container and the Uchiha boy match was interrupted by the Kazekage after his son nearly let lose the Ichibi from being hurt by Sasuke. The man had intervened with his golden dust, and Sasuke had won by default. Naruto beat Shino Aburame and the Uchiha lost to the Kazekage's daughter who went on to defeat Naruto in the finals.

It was never a good thing to have a foreign shinobi win a chuunin exams held in Konoha, but Jiriaya was heartened to hear that Naruto had made it to the finals. He'd been confident in Naruto, but had looked into Neji and learned that the boy was a skilled prodigy, and had been prepared for a loss.

At this point Jiriaya suggested that they promote Naruto to chuunin for his excellent performance, but Danzo interjected and suggested they simply promote Nara Shikimaru. The Kazekage had already stated that he was promoting his daughter. By only also promoting Nara Shikimaru, the genin who had actually defeated the Kazekage's daughter and eventual winner of the tournament, they'd be implying he was the defacto winner of the tournament. Hiruzen seemed to agree that none of the other Ninja displayed the mental preparedness or maturity for Chuunin level, even if the Hyuuga and Uchiha boy as well as Naruto might be edging into chuunin level combat skill. They agreed, and Shukaku Nara, Jounin commander and a uniformed ANBU member entered to begin a meeting with Hiruzen and Danzo regarding beefing village security in preparation for an attack by Orochimaru.

Jiriaya ducked out, and quickly headed towards Naruto to congratulate the boy. Probably not a bad time to start him on the Rasengan, he could work on the first part of the technique while Jiriaya went to the Land of Rice Patties.

A thought kept bothering Jiriaya however. Sensei had looked so old during that meeting, way older than the shriveled up prune that was Danzo. Honestly no one seemed on track to become Hokage within the next decade, and Jiriaya was seriously concerned Hiruzen might not make it until another Ninja filled his place.

~ ! ~ ! ~

Thank you for all the reviews! Having fun writing the story. I did the Jiriaya section mainly because I wanted everyone to know what was going on with Konoha. I obviously have no idea how the Chuunin exams may have gone without the invasion pretense, but the real Kazekage could've subdued Gaara and assuming the rest of their fight went the same way, it's likely he would've been forced to, to stop Gaara from unleashing the Ichibi in Konoha. I assume Naruto would've beat Shino because Shino's techniques, while great against puppets, seem like they'd be less effective against the poison-resistant healing/chakra machine that is an Uzumaki jinchuriki. Bad matchup for Shino.

If you can't see Temari beating Sasuke, which I totally can because the canon battle between them was literally Temari beating Sasuke around and then tripping on an explosive tag for the sake of plot, then just imagine that Sasuke got injured when he shoved his entire arm into the pile of sand being controlled by the insane demon-boy, and that injury resulted in Temari winning.
