After making her mind up, Tsunade headed towards Konoha at the highest speed she could, with her being able to make the journey in only half the time it originally took her to get there.
However, on the way, Tsunade was able to notice slight differences in the way she came, such as trees being in places they previously weren't or Villages that did not exist on her map suddenly being found.
However, with her mental state, Tsunade chose to focus on one issue at a time, though she did make a note of it due to it may being an important clue in her current predicament.
Tsunade came closer to Konoha, with her even being able to see the Stone Faces of the Hokage before even getting to the gate.
However, it was then that Tsunade noticed that the Mountain, which was supposed to only house three heads, suddenly became home to four.
Tsunade stopped in that moment, with hundreds of thoughts in her head all coming to one singular conclusion on the current situation.
'Time Travel?'
Tsunade had always guessed the fact that Time Travel could be possible in the Naruto World, though she always viewed it as closer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's interpretation of it.
This belief was that any Time Travel made was simply bringing you into a branch Timeline, instead of being in the same world, making anything you change not affect your original world.
Tsunade immediately tapped her foot on the ground to sense the Village, though she found that everyone seemed to be gathered in the Graveyard.
Seeing this, Tsunade adorned her body with a cloak as she snuck into the Village to learn whose funeral it was, as well as gain a proper timeline of the current events.
Tsunade was able to make it, though the reveal of whose funeral it was did give a major shock to Tsunade.
She saw that it was for her Sensei, The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen
Tsunade immediately realized she was somewhere around the time after the Konoha Crush attack, this was the first time she was accurately able to figure out when and where she was.
Tsunade looked on at the funeral, as even if this was not her timeline, she was still affected by the somber atmosphere and knew that a version of her teacher, no matter how this World's version of him had grown, had passed on to the Pure Lands.
She saw many of the characters that she had only seen through a screen before, like Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and the other Shinobi of their generation.
There was also Konohamaru, Asuma, Kakashi, Guy, and many other children of her friends in the audience, all mourning the loss of their leader.
Tsunade watched for a while but soon decided to leave, and while knowing there was not much she could do to change this world and not wish to cause any negative effects to the world, she decided that she had to meet someone in this world before she left.
This person was someone who could be called the most pitiful person in the Shinobi World, as they had lost every person they called close to them.
And while they were able to grow past their trauma in the Original World, Tsunade knew that they simply suppressed their pain, with it growing worse after the death of Jiraiya.
Tsunade wasn't so idealistic to believe that she could change everything, but she truly wished to help give them closure and heal in any way that she could assist them in doing so.
That person was the Tsunade of this world, a girl who lost her Clan, Brother, Lover, and almost everyone else she held close to her heart.
And Tsunade was determined to prevent the other her from making the same mistakes she made in the Original Timeline.
