Tsunade laughed lightly and said, "You certainly know how to pick them. These are collectibles my Second Grandfather gathered.
He collected these ores intending to forge a weapon, but unfortunately he passed away before he could begin. I didn't expect them to end up benefiting you."
Sora examined the ores in front of him and said thoughtfully, "So I guessed correctly. These ores are indeed extremely valuable."
Tsunade pointed to one of the stones and replied.
"More than valuable. In the current Ninja World these materials are so rare that even unlimited money might not be able to buy them, especially this one."
The stone she pointed at was completely blood-red, as if solidified from pure blood.
She continued calmly, "You could even say these ores are superior to the blade of Slaughter you carry. Otherwise they wouldn't have been sealed away there."
Sora looked at the ores again and said with slight surprise, "Looks like I really struck gold this time."
Tsunade laughed and explained, "That's normal. Although the blade of Slaughter is said to be comparable to the Kusanagi Sword, it still cannot compare to the legendary weapons of the Six Paths Sage.
These ores are materials capable of forging weapons or ninja tools that could rival those legendary creations. If I were interested in weapons, I would honestly be tempted to forge one myself."
Sora inhaled slightly and said, "They are that valuable?"
"Of course," Tsunade replied. "The materials my Second Grandfather spent years collecting could never be ordinary."
She then added, "However you don't need them right now. Save them until you are ready to forge the weapon you truly want. For now the blade of Slaughter is more than enough for you."
Sora nodded and said, "Understood."
He sealed the ores again and added another sealing layer for safety.
Previously he had not realized how valuable they were, but now that he understood their importance he naturally had to protect them properly.

After finishing their meal, Tsunade had already regained her calm, while Sora immediately returned to his intense training routine.
Ten Shadow Clones practiced swordsmanship.
Ten more trained different ninjutsu.
Five clones focused on improving chakra control.
Another five refined chakra.
Thirty Shadow Clones concentrated on studying the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Meanwhile Sora's main body focused on tempering his vitality while constantly researching the changes within his Bloodline Limit.
He also carefully studied the mysterious state he had unintentionally entered during the battle with Shukaku.
He wanted to fully understand the conditions required to enter that state again.
Although it was an extremely dangerous double-edged sword, if used properly as a hidden trump card it could easily reverse the outcome of a battle.
Sora was also certain that once his vitality reached a sufficiently powerful level, he would eventually be able to withstand the backlash of that ability.
It was similar to how someone with an extremely strong physique could endure things that would destroy an ordinary body.
Because of this, Sora had no intention of abandoning that power.
Instead he became even more determined to develop the Bloodline Limit within his body.
~
Suddenly Sora's ears twitched slightly.
He had just finished training and was currently relaxing in the hot spring when he heard a familiar voice.
Because his vitality training continuously strengthened his body, his entire physique had undergone transformation.
His speed, strength, flexibility, endurance, and even his senses had all improved dramatically.
Even though he was not purely a taijutsu specialist, his physical strength was already comparable to many masters who focused entirely on taijutsu.
This was clearly shown during his earlier sparring with Might Guy.
Sora heard a voice nearby saying, "Pervy Sage, are you sure the person we need to bring back to become Hokage is really here?"
Sora's eyes opened slightly.
"Naruto?" He murmured quietly, "Why is he here?"
Judging from the conversation, Naruto was clearly searching for someone to bring back as Hokage.
That meant he was here to find Tsunade.
Sora thought quietly, "Mom, what will you choose? No matter what you choose, I will support you. If you decide to return to Konaha,
then I will ensure that you become a Hokage with unmatched authority, where your word is absolute and no one in Konaha dares to oppose you.
Unlike the Third Hokage, who was constantly restricted. But if you choose to remain free and continue traveling the world, then no one will ever force you to do something you do not want."
~
Tsunade was currently soaking in the hot spring beside him.
Completely naked, she leaned against Sora with her head resting on his shoulder, her eyes closed as if she were asleep.
However if someone looked carefully at her hands beneath the water, they would notice that when Sora spoke, her fingers briefly tightened before relaxing again.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Her arms wrapped around Sora's arm in a relaxed and intimate manner, as if she had already chosen to ignore everything happening outside.
If even Sora could hear Naruto's voice, then Tsunade—who possessed a powerful Senju body, immense chakra, and kage-level strength—naturally heard everything clearly.
~
Outside the building, Jiraiya whispered urgently.
"Idiot, the information came from me so of course it is accurate. Tsunade has been staying here recently, which is how I located her."
He then warned seriously, "But Naruto, you must remember one thing. When you see her later, absolutely do not mention her age or call her anything disrespectful, otherwise even I might not be able to save you."
Naruto scratched his head and asked, "Why?"
Jiraiya sighed and replied, "Just listen to me if you want to leave here alive."
He had no idea whether Tsunade was still as hot-tempered as before or perhaps even worse now.
Naruto clearly did not understand the meaning of "trouble comes from the mouth."
Naruto thought for a moment before saying carelessly, "Tch, if she's the same age as you then she probably isn't pretty anyway. What's wrong with saying it?"
Naruto finally believed he understood the situation.
This Tsunade must be old and sensitive about her age.
Suddenly a beautiful voice echoed from the stairs.
"Who are you calling not pretty?"
Everyone instantly turned toward the voice.
A stunning woman slowly walked down the staircase.
Her appearance immediately captured the attention of everyone present.
There was simply no way to ignore her.
Her exquisite beauty, noble temperament, and incredibly voluptuous figure created a presence that naturally drew every gaze toward her.
Naruto stared in shock and said, "Wait, that big sister is the Tsunade the Pervy Sage was talking about?"
He continued in disbelief, "She doesn't look anywhere near as old as the Pervy Sage!"
Naruto stared wide-eyed.
He had expected an older woman.
Instead he saw a breathtaking beauty.
He was absolutely certain that he had never seen a more beautiful woman in his life.
Naruto scratched his head again and muttered.
"That's strange. If this big sister is so beautiful and clearly not as old as the Pervy Sage said, then why did he warn me not to mention her age?"
