A crimson moon orb. The Senju clan wiped out to the last. The Uchiha Clan left with nothing.
Tsunade opened a rundown tavern with the orb Jiraiya had traded his life for, and kept it hidden for ten whole years.
She thought the rest of her life would hold nothing but drinking and gambling, until one day, assassins from the Shadow Pavilion, interrogators from the Water Pavilion, and the sword of a surviving Uchiha all converged at her door.
“Princess Tsunade, the seal won’t hold much longer.”
In the shadows of the martial world, Madara Uchiha waits for her to deliver the orb with her own hands.
But Mei Terumi, the East Sea’s greatest beauty and master of the Water Pavilion, sweeps her sleeves aside and steps in front of Tsunade.
“If you want to lay a hand on her, you’ll have to get past me first.”
