It was another boring day at the office for Tsunade. A mountain of paperwork glared down at her while she lazily picked her nose. All was quiet, save for the clock ticking away in parallel to her life wasting away in this boring office. She wished something exciting would happen for once. Wish granted; a giant slug materialized landing right on her desk in a sticky mess. It looked like one of her familiars.
"Lady Tsunade you must come with me please! It is my mistress Katsuyu! She is deathly ill!"
Katsuyu was the slug leader Tsunade had made a contract with. She had saved many comrades in the past and was a strong ally. She was also adept with medicine, even more so than Tsunade herself. If she was as ill as the messenger slug said, there would probably be little Tsunade could do for her. Still Tsunade grab hold of the slug and was teleported to their realm.
The slug realm was an ideal place for the creatures. A dark and wet swamp like land with plenty of green grass. There were ancient tablets all around them, each with secrets to hidden medical jutsu. The slug lead Tsunade to a large clearing in the swamps with a giant stone altar nearly a mile long. On this altar lay the leader of the slugs Katsuyu, who looked extremely pale. Her mouth was dripping green mucus and her eye stalks were red.
"L-lady T-Tsunade." spoke Katsuyu,"I-I am sorry for the short notice in summoning you b-but I am in dire need of your help. I-it might be dangerous though and you could forever b-be altered in the process...d-do you still wish to help?"
"Don't be ridiculous Katsuyu, you and I have been through thick and thin together. Whatever it is I'll help you in any way I can."
"V-very well, listen to my tale. E-every one thousand years we slugs must die. H-however, rather than forever perish we can choose to inhabit t-the body of a human and share their life force. This h-human becomes our avatar and will take the shape o-of one of us over time. A-after one month, if the rebirth is successful, we leave the body of the human and both of us return to o-our normal forms. But t-there is sometimes a-a problem that occurs. O-our bodies can sometimes become too intermingled and w-we become one. I-I myself was once a w-woman like yourself who offered m-my body to the l-last slug queen. I-It is a gamble but I must find someone binded to us or I-I will surely perish. I c-can understand if you don't want to take such a risk my lady. But I-I feel you are the only one I can trust."
Tsunade didn't have to give it any thought if it meant saving her friend, "Katsuyu, if it will save you, you may use my body. I will just have to explain to Shizune the situation. When will this transfusion begin?"
