[Ding! Group membership quota +1, randomly selecting new member. Please wait…]
Itsuki was staying in Gato's manor, quietly waiting for Team 7's arrival, when a system prompt suddenly echoed in his mind. His spirits immediately lifted.
A new member? It's been a while since the last one… I wonder who it'll be this time.
The Fabrication System never seemed to follow any particular logic when it came to adding members.
It didn't matter who or when—there were no clear conditions. It all depended on the system's mood.
To Itsuki, every new addition felt like winning a lottery draw.
If he could choose, the one person he most wanted to join was Kaguya Otsutsuki.
After all, she was the strongest, unmatched in appearance and presence.
If he fabricated a future around her, the benefits would be tremendous.
But if it really was Kaguya… she might corrupt the other women in the group. That thought made Itsuki uneasy.
[Ding! Selection complete. New member is "Tsunade." Adding to group now.]
Tsunade?
Itsuki blinked. That was actually… a very good draw.
The Chunin Exams weren't far off.
Soon after, the Third Hokage would fall and Tsunade would become the Fifth Hokage.
From then on, Konoha would enter the Tsunade era.
Having her in the group early meant potential changes to the Third's fate, and also gave Itsuki the chance to secure a powerful ally inside the village.
With Wood Release in his arsenal, he doubted Tsunade would ignore him.
At that same time, Tsunade herself—currently hiding from debt collectors—had transformed into her child self, a blonde little girl, and was darting through alleyways in the Land of Fire.
"Ha! What a bunch of idiots!" She vaulted over a wall and made a mocking face at her pursuers. "If you want to catch me, maybe try again in your next life!"
Pleased with her escape, she turned a corner—only for her vision to suddenly blur.
She tripped and landed face-first on the ground.
"Ouch! That hurts!" The little girl clutched her nose, then patted her flat chest with an annoyed scowl. "Damn it! Suddenly nothing in front of me… I'm really not used to it!"
[Ding! Tsunade has successfully joined the "Itsuki Harem Chat Group." Congratulations on becoming a member! Please consciously abide by the following rules:]
[1. Itsuki is the group leader. The group leader's interests are absolute. Members are forbidden from acting against him.]
[2. …]
"What the hell is this? Did I hit my head and start hearing voices?" Tsunade froze at the strange prompt ringing in her mind.
Illusion?
She snorted. Don't you know who I am? Someone trying to put me in a genjutsu without me noticing? Impossible.
[Ding! Tsunade joins the chat group!]
All the current members received the notification.
[Tenten: Tsunade? Wait—the Tsunade?! No way! Tsunade-sama joined the group too?!]
[Sakura Haruno: Who's Tsunade? Tenten, why are you so excited?]
[Ino Yamanaka: Forehead! You don't even know who Tsunade-sama is? And you're still number one in class rankings!]
[Sakura Haruno: Did they even teach this at school?]
[Ino Yamanaka: …No.]
[Anko Mitarashi: Lady Tsunade?!]
[Tsunade: Oh? So I can talk here. Can someone explain what the hell is going on? And… Anko?]
[Anko Mitarashi: It's me! Long time no see, Lady Tsunade. I can't believe it—you're really here too!]
[Tsunade: Group? Is this the "Itsuki Harem Chat Group" I just heard about? Who the hell is Itsuki? Did he create this? Interesting… someone actually dared to make me one of his heroines. How brave.]
Itsuki, who was quietly watching the screen, nearly choked.
Fuck me, the first grenade fell right on my lap.
Not just him—every member who saw Tsunade's message felt their blood run cold.
[Anko Mitarashi: Ahem, Lady Tsunade… you should check out the videos in the group files first. Everything will make sense.]
[Tsunade: Videos? Files? Hmph. Fine, I'll look.]
Despite her suspicion, Tsunade wasn't worried.
After all, she was Tsunade Senju—the Slug Princess, one of the Legendary Sannin. Whoever tried to trick her would die miserably.
"Tsunade-sama! I finally found you!"
Shizune came running around the corner, holding a small pink pig in her arms.
Seeing Tsunade safe, she let out a sigh of relief before complaining, "Really, Tsunade-sama, please don't disappear without saying anything! I nearly got caught by the debt collectors."
"Buhi!" The pig, Tonton, squealed angrily, still shaken from nearly being captured and cooked.
"Haha!" Tsunade laughed awkwardly.
With a quick hand seal and a puff of smoke, she transformed back into her adult self—her full figure instantly restored.
"That was just… a moment of urgency," she said. Then quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, something strange just happened. I—"
Her words stuck in her throat. She frowned.
Some kind of mouth-sealing technique?
"What's strange?" Shizune tilted her head.
"…Forget it. Nothing important. Let's just find a place to rest first," Tsunade said, waving it off and striding forward.
"Ah! Tsunade-sama, don't change the subject!" Shizune huffed, running after her.
But Tsunade was already distracted.
She had secretly opened the group's file tab and started watching the "future videos" inside.
Strange… outsiders can't see this, and I can't even talk about it.
Still, she couldn't remember ever being tricked into anything like this.
And aside from Anko, she didn't recognize any of the names in the chat—yet they all seemed connected to Konoha.
Are they real shinobi… or just pretenders?
Doubts filled her mind, but the moment she saw the video, her focus shifted.
"Wood Release?!" Tsunade's eyes widened, pupils narrowing.
On the screen, Itsuki was practicing authentic Wood Release alongside Tenten on the training grounds.
"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible!" she muttered, her voice trembling.
Aside from her grandfather Hashirama, no one else in the world should be able to use Wood Release.
And now it was being wielded by a kid who had only just graduated from the Academy?
Tsunade wanted to storm the chat and demand answers from Anko right then and there.
But with more videos queued up, she decided to watch them all first—before making her move.
