Following the confrontation with Itachi and Sasuke's subsequent injuries in Naruto, Vol. 17, it is now more imperative than ever for Naruto and Jiraiya to track down Lady Tsunada so that she can come back to Konoha to heal Naruto's frenemy. Jiraiya is also hoping that Tsunada will accept the title of Lord Hokage and lead the village.
But they are not the only ones who seek Lady Tsunade. Orochimaru and Kabuto also want to find her, and Orochimaru has an intriguing proposition to make. Finding her first, Orochimaru confronts Tsunada, and makes her an offer: Heal his arm, and he will bring back her younger brother and her lover from the dead. Orochimaru then admits with his restored arm he will destroy Konoha. He gives her a week to make a decision.
Jiraiya and Naruto find her soon after, and realize that Orochimaru has already been here. Naruto has continued his training, and mastered the first and second levels of the Rasengan, a secret jitsu controlled by few. But he struggles with the third and final stage of controlling the energy and the its containment. When Tsunade disparages and refuses to take the title of Lord Hokage, Naruto challenges her, for that has been his life goal. Tsunada agrees, and quickly stops Naruto. But she then makes a bet with him. Learn the third stage within the week, and she will offer him her necklace.
Coincidentally, that is the same week she has to reach a decision with Orochimaru. Torn between the two options, what choice will Tsunada make?
