Path Not taken 56

Azula

At last! After countless failures, my research into shinobi atavism is complete!

Azula

Tayuya's Senjutsu knowledge was the missing piece all along.

Azula

Father always said perfection was my destiny. If only he could see me now, ruling an entire village and unlocking forbidden techniques.

Azula

(Even Zuzu would have to admit I've surpassed everyone's expectations.)

Azula

Tsunade... we achieved immortality together, but you couldn't stomach what came next.

Azula

Such a waste of brilliance. Your compassion always was your weakness.

Azula

But now I can prove the technique is safe. No more failed test subjects.

Azula

She'll have to acknowledge I was right all along.

Azula

Naruto! Come in, my protégé. I have something special to show you.

Azula

(The perfect vessel for my perfect technique. He trusts me completely... how delightful.)

Azula

You've always wanted to reach your full potential, haven't you? To surpass limitations?

Azula

Today, you'll be the first successful recipient of my greatest creation!

Azula

Once I perfect this on you, Tsunade will return. The three of us will revolutionize the shinobi world forever!

Azula

Isn't it magnificent? Don't worry about the restraints... they're just a precaution.
