DxD: Multiversal Therapist

"I-If you're willing to be the Hokage, then what about our bet, Baba!?" Naruto asked her, a bit ecstatic. 

"Bet?" Azrael munched on her fish and Shizune clarified her doubts. 

After the death of the third Hokage at the hands of Orochimaru, Jiraiya refused to become the next Hokage and instead recommended a fellow Sannin, Tsunade. The latter had refused and after defeating Naruto in a one-on-one fight four days ago, they had made a bet. If Naruto could learn the jutsu Rasengan within a week, he'd win the bet and she'd acknowledge his dream of wishing to become a Hokage of the leaf.

Naturally, she'd also reconsider Jiraiya's proposal. 

"Of course, our bet is still going, if you manage to learn the Rasenan in a week, I'll acknowledge your dream and once I step down from my position, you will be the Hokage, Naruto" Tsunade said.

!!!

"For real?!"

"Yes, and on top of that, I'll give you a kiss, how about that?".

"Who wants a kiss from an old baba?".

*BONK!*

"Ahhh!!"

Another swelling up his head, Tsunade held Naruto in a lock and crushed his hair like a bully, Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh at the fond memories even as his disciple suffered.

"You're really pushing it with me, kiddo! You only have two more days remember!? If you can't even manage that, hokage this hokage that, you can forget about that!"

"No! Ero-sennin said you are two centuries old! I don't care how you look now!".

Jiraiya's countenance fell, "Don't say that Naruto!–"

"Ugh? Two centuries, you said...?" It was too late, Tsunade's glare could kill. 

"I was talking figuratively, Tsuna-chan! Besides, it doesn't even matter if you're two centuries old or ten, for me you're still beautiful like–"

*BAANG!*

This time it wasn't a bonk, Jiraiya received a fist of love up his chest that sent him hurling back mumbling words like 'I deserve it'.

"Be thankful that I'm holding back. How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't play around with my age?! I shouldn't have taken you seriously".

"Gomenasai..."

Seeing Tsunade in such a hectic yet amusing mood, made Azrael smile lightly, 'She hasn't even been here that long, I think she's happier here, master'.

...

It took Tsunade a while to explain Azrael's origin and what she had been through during the last few months. Once Jiraiya heard of her marriage and pregnancy, his brows flinched, something cracked within, but he knew it was not the time for that.

'N-Not now, later...' He thought dejectedly.

"Stay there and pay attention, Jiraiya, your talking only makes it worse over time".

"Hai, I understand".

"I have realized that the way our world engages in pointless wars is inefficient and beneficial just to a certain few. I don't wish for that to be the fate of the leaf anymore. Let alone, the other villages must be the same. Once I become the Hokage, I'll override the daimyos".

!!!

"What are you talking about, Tsunade… that's–" Shizune began.

"A crime" Jiraiya finished.

Even thinking about the idea of going against the daimyo was a crime, let alone voicing it out loud.

"It may be a crime, but it is a necessary evil. I'll do it on my own if necessary. The feudal lord's politics are backward and focus only on self-profit while the citizens and development overall remain stagnant, not only that but they also focus on pointless wars of ideologies against other nations, every subversive group we have met so far has been born due to the faults of this system. I realized that Jiraiya... they have caused the last war, they will cause another and thousands will die for nothing".

Jiraiya gawked; she had just voiced out loud something he had been thinking for a long time but was powerless to do anything about.

"We still require the daimyo's founding to function, any subversive move from us means the people of the village will face a period of famine–"

Tsunade popped up something out of her 'sleeve' which was in truth a concealed space. It was a shiny golden crystal. 

"W-What is that?"

"This is called Armatista, a powerful crystal catalyst that contains high amounts of energy. I have yet to discover any cases of use for us shinobi. I'm a medical-nin, not a scientist. In the world I was, this was an invaluable material, I don't believe this world will be any different. We can create our funding as long as we create a market for this mineral, Jiraiya".

The toad took the crystal and inspected it. 

"This is amazing. To produce an amount of power enough to shine, and yet I can't feel anything from it".

"That is because this crystal is not made out of chakra or nature energy, it is made out of 'Sun Energy', in a way, Sun Energy is the mother of all energies. Your entrances won't be able to sense it. But I'm different, my body has changed and now is compatible not only with chakra but with Sun Energy as well".

"But going by what you say, in this world of Chakra, this Sun Energy wouldn't be of any use to us" Shizune added.

"I know, that's why... I need someone else. I need someone who will be capable of achieving it. I need you, Orochimaru".

!!!

Out of the shadows, someone manifested... someone that gave Naruto the chills and made him get on guard, he and Jiraiya simultaneously held a kunai.

"Hehehe, since when?".

"Since the start" Azrael answered in Tsunade's stead, "The concealing techniques in this world are rather lacklustre. Yours and the boy"

Orochimaru's eyes fixed on Azrael and her wings with boundless curiosity, he showed up with his arms bandaged and fallen. The cat was already out so another silhouette manifested from the shadows, it was a boy with glasses. 

"Kabuto!" Naruto growled.

"Sit down, Orochimaru, we're having a good conversation here".

"Don't mind if I do, like old times".

The three sannin reunited and sat in one place, Tsunade stretched her hand towards Orochimaru who couldn't take the Armatista in her hand. Kabuto took it and showed it to Orochimaru.

"Miraculous... you said this mineral is called Armatista. Do you know its origin?".

"My husband, his whole being is created out of Sun Energy. Once he releases his energy, and this energy comes into contact with 'Mana' it crystalises into the physical world, taking this shape".

"Your husband, huh? What about Dan?"

*RUMBLE!*

"I'll appreciate it if you stick to the topic at hand, Orochimaru".

"But you still haven't answered my proposal?~".

"The answer is no, so drop this matter and don't even raise it again to me".

"No, huh? Is it because of that boyfriend of yours? were you so quick to ditch Dan Kato–"

*BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*

Orochimaru felt the bones of his jaw shatter, as fast as lightning, with a speed that he wasn't able to see, smell, or perceive. His body shot like a rocket that travelled across the forest leaving behind a trail of debris, broken trees and rubble before eventually coming to a stop in a state of near death.

When his eyes opened, the first thing he saw was Tsunade's golden eyes with many ellipses. 

"R-R-Rinnegan..."

!!!

She had already been there, waiting for him as if she knew where he was going to land. 

"You killed Sensei, Orochimaru... it doesn't matter how much I consider you useful, don't expect me to treat you kindly".

She took him by the hair, and with a single step she was back at the camp, throwing him like trash and taking her spot back, by then her eyes were back to normal. 

"H-How...?!" Orochimaru contorted, and Kabuto by now realised they were in no position to make a scene. Tsunade Senju was a lot stronger than predicted. 

The woman in question snatched a fish stick away from an outraged Azrael and ate it. 

"Now you're in a better condition to talk. Whether it be Dan, Nawaki, Ray... I advise you don't touch that subject with me, I get a bit sensitive. Close your mouth, Jiraiya".

"H-Hai..."

Tsunade's little stunt brought a lot of tension to the table; Naruto looked at her with stars in his eyes, he had wanted to give Orochimaru a good pummeling for a while, which she just did. 

Shizune didn't know what to even think, she couldn't begin to comprehend what happened. One second she heard a boom, the next, Tsunade was carrying a destroyed Orochimaru by his hair. She had no choice but to believe that the woman had changed in a way she was literally unrecognisable. 

"You are a lot stronger, Tsunade".

'E-Even I am surprised, dammit! I held back just now?! Ray what have you done to me?!' Tsunade's inward thoughts were chaotic even as she munched on her fish nonchalantly. 

*Cough!*

*Cough!*

Orochimaru coughed blood and struggled to stand up, unable to due to his arms and injuries, he was in a quite miserable state and the way he looked at Tsunade now had several degrees of curiosity but still, a lot of fear. 

"Resuming what I was about to say, I refused your proposal; but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to heal your arms".

!!!

"What are you talking about, Tsunade!?" Jiraiya hissed, "You know what he has done! If it weren't for you, I would have already–"

"I just told you, we need someone. And someone here has exactly what I need" She glanced at the man who now crawled like a literal snake, even with Kabuto's assistance, he struggled.

"D-Damn you... hurry up and help me!". 

"Orochimaru, from the start you have been a passionate individual, just like me. A bit twisted here and there, but your passion for science is as strong as mine for medicine".

She thought about the broader world of science and technological development on the other side of that gate.

"I can't do it on my own. I have a vision of how I want our village to look. Konoha could be such a beautiful and better place, like Japan".

"Japan? What is that?"

"In any case, Orochimaru. Swear to me here and now you will do your utmost best for the scientific development of the village without jumping any moral thresholds. If you do that, I'll heal your whole body, once I am a Hokage I will relieve you of half of your charges for treason, and you will be confined but with everything that you need to continue your research on this Armatista for me… this is the best deal I can offer you, but if that's not up to your liking" She smiled as if she hoped he'd go for that option.

"Then you can die right here and now".

"..."

"Choose, there are no in-betweens".

Orochimaru frowned profusely, there weren't many options on the table, 'Even her phobia for blood is gone, she's staring straight at me like nothing is wrong, we walked into a trap!'. 

As if sensing his master's distress, the boy next to him, Kabuto, quietly took his hand into his pocket. A hand grabbed his head faster than lightning and smashed it on the ground, Azrael had taken action.

*POOF!*

The body exploded in smoke but that didn't throw Azrael off her feet. She raised her hand and a light spear manifested.

"I told you I could see you from the start!".

*CHA!!*

The spear flew past three trees before eventually reaching the target who was in the middle of conjuring a jutsu.

!!!

"Impossible! That's out of the detection range!"

Kabuto's shoulder got pierced and yanked against a tree with the bruise burning and producing pain enough to numb the mind. Azrael's hand rose, the spear contorted in shape, grabbing Kabuto and returning to her.

All this display of power didn't go unnoticed by Jiraiya to even now failed to sense the slightest glint of Chakra of Nature Energy being used.

'S-She's a monster... they are monsters'

Kabuto shrieked like a pig holding his burning wound next to Orochimaru who saw his last hopes of fleeing vanish. 

"Don't play games, Orochimaru. We're not on the same level anymore. If you don't accept my conditions I have no option but to take you as a direct threat to Konoha. And you should know I wouldn't let a threat like you roam free. I can forgive you for sensei's incident, I can let it pass it is for the future of our village. But there are no second chances. Whenever there is a slight sliver of chance that you may betray us again, I won't issue orders to Anbu. I'll show up personally and end you myself".

Orochimaru gulped, "I accept. How do we go about this?".

She smiled, "Obviously from this point on you and this Kabuto-boy will be my prisoners, you will be taken to Konoha where you will be subjected to a juice by the council. I'll tamper a bit with the result to give you some freedom, but you will be confined, no doubt about that".

'She's become stronger. In the current condition I have no option but to accept. Still, what's with her? Science and technological development? I thought she didn't care about those things'

"I have seen a world of opportunities. If you let me, I can talk you both through it".

"I can at least hear you out" Orochimaru huffed and waited to be healed up, "I won't try anything funny".

'As expected, so long as you have power…' Tsunade grinned, 'It is the same, regardless of the world'.

She didn't even touch Orochimaru, her hand, imbued with aura hovered above him for a second before Orochimaru's body began to heal at a visual speed. However, his hands were a different matter altogether.

"Your hands were taken by the Shinigami, it is not your body that is injured, but your soul. It would have cost me a lot to heal you using fuinjutsu, lucky for you, she's here. Azrael, please".

Azrael only sent a sidelong glance before she continued eating her fish.

"Wait until she finishes".

And so, once Azrael finished her fish, a conversation fated to change the world began.
