Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

Page 46

With an extremely strong will to survive, Shizune nodded repeatedly, as if she believed whatever Tsunade said without the slightest doubt.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kakuzan took out the Tsuchikage scroll from Kumogakure and placed it on the table, causing Tsunade, who was lying, and Shizune, who knew Tsunade was lying, to stare at each other in bewilderment.

Tsunade stared at the scroll on the table, beginning to question her life choices. Could it be that what I said was true? Did I really study this thing before?

Shizune, holding the piglet, looked at Tsunade's frowning face and the scroll on the table, and fell into deep thought. Had she misunderstood Lady Tsunade? Was Lady Tsunade really studying this scroll with Uchiha Kakuyama?

When Uchiha Kakuzan took out the scroll, he also gave a brief introduction to its origin.

After the introduction, Tsunade and Shizune were both startled. Wasn't this equivalent to a forbidden scroll from Iwagakure? Something found in the seal in the secret room of the Tsuchikage's office—this was hidden much more securely than the forbidden scrolls of the Hokage.

In other words, this scroll is either a forbidden technique scroll from the Hidden Cloud Village, or something even more important.

That's why Tsunade and Shizune fell into self-doubt.

With something so important for me to study, how could I possibly have the mind to play around with Uchiha Kakuyama?

Lady Tsunade has something so important to study, there's absolutely no way she would have any other thoughts about fooling around with Uchiha Kakuyama. I must have misread it just now.

After a while, Tsunade finally sorted out her chaotic thoughts. Looking at the silent crowd, she coughed and said, "This scroll is of great importance. The three of us alone are not enough. Let's go back to Konoha and give it to the Third Hokage. Let him worry about it."

Since learning that the Third Hokage had been controlled by Uchiha Kakuzan, and that she was now Uchiha Kakuzan's woman and the future Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Tsunade no longer opposed returning to Konoha.

However, after saying this, Tsunade still looked at Uchiha Kakuyama and asked for his opinion.

Chapter 163 Returning to Konoha to Meet the Third Hokage

Chapter 163 Returning to Konoha to Meet the Third Hokage

Because in Tsunade's eyes, she herself belonged to Uchiha Okayama, and Konoha Village belonged to her, and even this Tsuchikage scroll belonged to her, so of course she would listen to this man's advice.

Uchiha Kakuzan, of course, was unaware of Tsunade's inner thoughts. After hearing Tsunade's suggestion, he looked at her with some surprise.

Uchiha Kakuzan never expected that his mission would be completed so inexplicably.

After half a month of hard work, elite Jonin Uchiha Kakuzan, with his spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue and his persistent pursuit, finally succeeded in getting Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, to sleep with him, making her want to return to Konoha Village.

Uchiha Kakuzan naturally agreed with Tsunade's desire to return to Konoha, and in his opinion, it would be best if Tsunade could take over the position of Hokage.

After all, Tsunade should be pregnant soon, and it's more reassuring for her to stay in Konoha than to be running around outside.

Moreover, he couldn't spend all his time with Tsunade. Konoha was Tsunade's stronghold, and with his secret help, Tsunade would be able to take over Konoha smoothly, including Danzo's Root organization. At that time, Tsunade, as one of his own, would be of great help to him.

And then there's the Third Hokage's old face. I've long since stopped wanting to see him. Let the Third Hokage retire and enjoy his old age. At least he'll have a good ending and won't be killed by his student Orochimaru.

Seeing that Uchiha Kakuyama agreed with her opinion, Tsunade did not waste any time. First, she asked Uchiha Kakuyama to put away the Tsuchikage scroll, and then she instructed Shizune to go back to her room to pack her things, ready to leave at any time.

After Shizune left, Tsunade immediately hugged Uchiha Kagami and kissed him with her red lips.

After everyone had packed their things and checked out of their rooms, they gathered in Tsunade's room again.

Looking at the large bags and suitcases on Shizune's body and the huge suitcase in her hand, while Tsunade had a symbolic package on her shoulder, Uchiha Kakuyama suspected that Tsunade had taken Shizune away from Konoha Village to find a free servant.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Uchiha Kakuyama placed his hands on Tsunade and Shizune's shoulders respectively. Then, he activated his eye technique Takamagahara, which took everyone directly into a closed house on the island. Immediately afterwards, he activated his eye technique again, taking everyone to a sparsely populated forest next to the gate of Konoha Village.

The reason Tsunade wasn't brought directly into the village was because she was returning to prepare to take over the position of Hokage and become the Fifth Hokage. Of course, she had to enter openly and legitimately through the main gate. This also served as a signal to the various clans in the village—Tsunade has returned. Are you ready to accept my leadership?

It's important to know that Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, the student of the Third Hokage, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the most legitimate direct descendant of the Senju clan. These identities combined already surpass the prestige of the Third Hokage.

Putting aside Tsunade's political experience, the people she saved on the battlefield constituted a formidable force. Without her intervention, they would have perished long ago.

This is why, after Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan, Konoha Village insisted on Tsunade returning to inherit the Hokage position. Only Tsunade had the highest reputation, and only with her return could the situation in Konoha Village be stabilized quickly.

When Uchiha Kagami and Tsunade arrived at the gate, Tsunade stopped in her tracks upon seeing the familiar Konoha gate. Looking at the gate and the back gate of Konoha Village, she couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. She never imagined that she would return to Konoha Village one day.

Meanwhile, Konoha's gatekeepers, Kotetsu and Izumo, who were on duty beside the gate, also saw the people standing at Konoha's gate.

As the gatekeepers of Konoha, the two were already used to people coming and going at the gate. However, they could also spot those who behaved strangely.

Therefore, when Tsunade stood at the gate and didn't leave, Kotetsu and Izumo's gazes inevitably fell on them.

When they saw Tsunade and the others, Kotetsu and Izumo immediately became excited. As elders of Konoha, how could they not recognize the famous Princess Tsunade?

In the hearts of many Konoha ninjas, Princess Tsunade's status is second only to the Third Hokage. Although Tsunade has not returned to Konoha for many years, it is precisely because of this that Kotetsu and Izumo were so excited when they saw Tsunade.

The two immediately ran over and stood in front of Tsunade, saying excitedly, "Lady Tsunade, you're finally back."

Tsunade turned her gaze back and saw the two people standing in front of her. She laughed heartily, "It's Xiaogang and Xiaoyun. Long time no see. You're still here guarding the gate?"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tsunade and her group bid farewell and headed towards the Hokage Building.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, sitting behind his desk, looked at Tsunade and her group standing in front of him with a complicated expression. He took a deep drag of his cigarette and then exhaled heavily.

"Tsunade, you've finally come back. If you hadn't come back, this old man of mine would have died in the position of Hokage."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Tsunade curled her lip and said, "Old man, isn't this all your fault? If you hadn't indulged Danzo, Konoha wouldn't be in such a mess. If it weren't for Uchiha Kakuzan, even if you were really dead, I wouldn't have come back."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, the Third Hokage's expression turned serious. He waved his hand, signaling everyone, both in the open and in the shadows, to evacuate. Tsunade, knowing why the Third Hokage was doing this, then had Shizune, who had been following her, also leave.

Uchiha Kakuzan was fully aware of their conversation. He was about to leave with Shizune when Tsunade held him back tightly.

The Third Hokage ignored Uchiha Kakuzan and waited until the three of them were alone in the office before releasing a barrier that enveloped the room and they began their conversation.

Before the Third Hokage could speak, Tsunade said gloatingly, "Old man, how does it feel to be controlled? You didn't expect that, did you? You've been shrewd your whole life, but in the end, you still fell. And you fell with that Danzo."

The Third Hokage didn't seem to mind Tsunade's gloating; he simply sighed deeply and frowned tightly.

"It seems you've also fallen victim to Uchiha Kakuzan's eye technique and are under his control."

Tsunade raised her beautiful eyebrows: "I was being controlled, but I'm not like you."

Chapter 164 The Revival of the Senju Clan

Chapter 167 The Revival of the Senju Clan

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Tsunade raised her pale yellow eyebrows and said, "I am being controlled, but I am not like you."

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette, frowned, and said, "What's the difference? We're all puppets of Uchiha Kakuzan. Whether it's you or me as Hokage, the one in control behind the scenes is Uchiha Kakuzan."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Tsunade released Uchiha Kakuzan's hand, slammed her hands on the table, and said unhappily, "Old man, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Kakuzan spared Danzo out of respect for you, but if you piss me off, although I won't touch you because you're my master, guess what? I might go looking for trouble with Danzo."

The Third Hokage fell silent upon hearing Tsunade's words. He could protect himself by virtue of his status as Tsunade's teacher and their affection, but Tsunade had long harbored resentment towards Danzo. The decline of the Senju clan and the death of Nawaki were both linked to Danzo. Given Tsunade's personality, if she were further provoked, he wouldn't be able to protect Danzo.

Seeing the Third Hokage remain silent, Tsunade knew he still wanted to protect Danzo, so she scoffed unhappily, "Old man, I'm not like you. Although Qiu Shan has me under control, he doesn't care at all about how I govern Konoha. Besides, the Uchiha clan's territory outside the village has been built and they will be moving out soon. There's no need to worry about Qiu Shan placing Uchiha clan members in high positions in Konoha to control the village."

The Third Hokage couldn't believe Tsunade's words. After all, Konoha was the largest ninja village in the ninja world, so how could Uchiha Kakuzan possibly give up such a powerful force to serve him?

Tsunade knew her words weren't convincing, and the Third Hokage wouldn't believe her anyway, so she reached out and, under the Third Hokage's questioning gaze, took Uchiha Kakuzan's hand, turned her gaze to the side, and said somewhat blushingly:

"Kikuyama-kun said that he will help me continue the bloodline of the Senju clan and revitalize the Senju clan. Our future children will inherit the position of Hokage, so there is no need to worry about Kikuyama-kun controlling me. After all, I am also paving the way for our children."

The Third Hokage was stunned by Tsunade's words. He never expected that Uchiha Kakuzan would be with Tsunade. However, this made him somewhat gratified, because in the Third Hokage's view, this was the best ending. Konoha Village had returned to the Senju clan's control, and he could at least give an explanation to his teacher, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

A smile returned to the Third Hokage's face as he jokingly said to Tsunade, "Tsunade, now that you're planning to have a child, settle down and focus on being the Hokage. Stop wandering around. During your pregnancy and while you're taking care of the baby, this old man can help you out a bit."

Seeing the Third Hokage's smile, Tsunade fell silent for a moment, then waved her hand impatiently, "I know, old man, you've been rambling on and on, so annoying."

Next, it was time to deal with the Tsuchikage Scroll. At Tsunade's prompting, Uchiha Kakuyama took out the Tsuchikage Scroll and placed it in front of the Third Hokage.

When the Third Hokage heard about the origin of the scroll, he was also shocked. He did not expect that Uchiha Kakuzan, who went to find Tsunade, would also raid Iwagakure's house.

Everyone knew the importance of this scroll to Iwagakure and its strategic significance to Konoha. As long as the scroll was fully opened and its contents thoroughly studied, Konoha would have a clear understanding of the strengths of Iwagakure's ninjas and could prepare accordingly.

The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette, staring at the scroll, and said, "This should be the most important inheritance and secret technique of Iwagakure. It should contain information about the most famous Kekkei Tota Dust Release technique of the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. However, this Dust Release technique is very important to Iwagakure, so its training method shouldn't be recorded on it, just like the fourth stage of the Lightning Release Armor of the Kumogakure Raikage, whose training method is passed down orally."

"However, it should contain records of Dust Release techniques and the secret techniques of Iwagakure, such as the Second Tsuchikage Mu's Invisibility Technique, the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, and a series of Earth Release techniques from Iwagakure. Once we know these techniques, we can find ways to counter them and their range of application. In the future, when our Konoha ninjas encounter them, we will be able to gain the upper hand." The Third Hokage became more and more excited as he spoke.

Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't interested in anything else, but he was quite interested in the Dust Release techniques. You see, he had only copied the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique, and he hadn't learned the Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique. If he could find it in this scroll, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, the Second Tsuchikage's other ninjutsu, known as the Dustless Concealment Technique, can even hide his chakra, making him undetectable.

Uchiha Kakuzan was also quite interested in this ninjutsu, but he didn't know why the Third Tsuchikage hadn't learned it. Perhaps there were some unknown training conditions that prevented him from learning it.

After confirming that Uchiha Kakuzan had indeed handed over the Tsuchikage Scroll to him, the Third Hokage immediately organized renowned sealing masters and skilled sealing team members from Konoha. He summoned them together for closed-door research, intending to seal away the relevant memories after deciphering the scroll. After all, if this matter were to leak out, the Third Tsuchikage might declare war on Konoha himself.

Seeing that the Third Hokage was still busy with these matters, Uchiha Kyuuyama took Tsunade's hand and said goodbye. Since Tsunade was not yet the Hokage, she could leave these matters to the Third Hokage without any burden, and accompany Kyuuyama to travel and have fun.

Because Tsunade's return was sudden, and her house in Konoha Village still needed cleaning, Uchiha Kakuzan took Tsunade to visit Konoha Village, where they strolled around and ate. Their little follower, Shizune, was sent to Tsunade's house to supervise the cleaning.

With one less third wheel around, Tsunade used her self-developed transformation technique to transform herself into her teenage self. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about running into acquaintances. After all, she was quite old, and if her old subordinates discovered that she was dating a teenager, it would shock many people.

Chapter 165 Mitarashi Anko

Chapter 165 Mitarashi Azuko

Having used her transformation technique and no longer having a third wheel, coupled with the excitement of returning after many years, Tsunade completely let loose and acted as she pleased.

Not only did they cling to Uchiha Kakuzan's arm the whole time, but they also took turns feeding each other the snacks they bought, just like a couple deeply in love.

Since Tsunade hadn't returned for many years, Uchiha Kakuzan took her on a tour of all the good places to eat in Konoha over the past few years.

However, while the two were having a great time, some people were unhappy.

When Uchiha Kakuzan and Tsunade arrived at the famous three-colored dango shop in Konoha, they were spotted by someone working at the shop.

The man frowned as he watched Tsunade cling to Uchiha Kazuyama's arm as they bought a large bag of three-colored dumplings at the dumpling shop. The two of them were all lovey-dovey in the shop, and after Tsunade ate a skewer, she even fed Uchiha Kazuyama some.

So, after Uchiha and Okayama left the dumpling shop, Okayama put down the skewers in his hand and chased after them.

Because the person's actions were obvious, she was spotted by Uchiha Kakuyama and Tsunade after she chased after him. The two exchanged a glance and then walked towards the alley next to them in perfect unison.

After the two arrived at the alley, they hadn't gone far when they heard the shouts of the person following them.

"You two in front, stop right there!" The voice was loud and carried a hint of anger.

Uchiha Kakuyama exchanged another glance with Tsunade, then turned around to look at the newcomer.

The newcomer was not very old, about the same age as Uchiha Kakuzan. Although she was young, she was very wealthy and generous. In addition, her black spider web outfit and the wild and untamed look in her eyes made her very attractive.

Uchiha Kakuzan and Tsunade recognized the person who had suddenly appeared; it was Orochimaru's disciple, Mitarashi Anko. They just didn't know why she was so angry and coming to cause them trouble, and it seemed that the matter was quite serious.

Although Mitarashi Anko knew Uchiha Kakuyama, she didn't know his name. She had only ever seen her good friend Uzuki Yugao and Uchiha Kakuyama being affectionate together.

However, Uzuki Yugao kept Uchiha Okayama's identity a secret, not even revealing it to her good friend Mitarashi Anko.

Because of Orochimaru's defection, Mitarashi Anko's identity in Konoha Village is awkward, and she doesn't have many friends. Therefore, she values ​​her friend Uzuki Yugao very much and also pays attention to Uzuki Yugao's boyfriend who is seen shopping intimately with her.

That's why she was so angry with Uchiha Kazuyama when she saw him walking hand-in-hand with another woman today.

Seeing that Uchiha Kagami still looked completely innocent, Mitarashi Anko, like an enraged lion, glared at him and said angrily, "Who is this woman? How can you treat Yugao like this?"

When Tsunade heard Mitarashi Anko's words, she knew they weren't there to see her, so she let go of Uchiha Kakuyama's hand and watched them with interest.

Uchiha Okayama only realized what Mitarashi Anko was saying when he heard her words. He knew that she had come to stand up for Uzuki Yugao, and he was speechless.

Because Uchiha Kakuzan had already told Uzuki Yugao that he wouldn't have only one woman in the future. As someone from the Uchiha clan who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and was also the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, he was obligated to find a member of the clan to continue the Uchiha bloodline.

Uzuki Yugao understood these things and expressed that she didn't care, which is why Uchiha Kakuzan was able to take Uzuki Yugao into his fold without any psychological burden.

So, knowing that Mitarashi Anko had suddenly appeared for the sake of her friend, he didn't make things difficult for her. After glancing at her, he said, "Yugao knows all this. If you don't believe me, go ask Yugao yourself." With that, he turned to leave.

Mitarashi Anko didn't believe Uchiha Kakuzan's words, thinking he was guilty and wanted to leave immediately. She immediately bristled, rushed over, and reached out to grab Uchiha Kakuzan's shoulder.

"Don't leave with this woman. Come with me to find Xiyan and explain things."

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't expect Mitarashi Anko to be so reckless, acting like she was going to interrogate someone before even understanding the situation.

Uchiha Kakuyama was also a little angry. He reached out and grabbed Mitarashi Anko's wrist, then threw her away.

Because Uchiha Kagami was very strong and somewhat angry, he didn't hold back and threw her a long way.

After being thrown by Uchiha Kakuzan, Mitarashi Anko adjusted her position in mid-air and landed safely on her feet.

However, due to Uchiha Kakuyama's immense strength, Mitarashi Anko slid for over fifty meters on her knees, only managing to stop near the end of the alley.

At this moment, Mitarashi Anko realized that Uchiha Kakuyama was not someone to be trifled with. However, facing this incredibly imposing man, the stubbornness in Mitarashi Anko's eyes intensified, and she even took out a kunai with a tense expression and held it in front of her.

Tsunade hadn't expected things to escalate to this point, and the young girl opposite her was quite stubborn. Although this matter wasn't directly related to her, it still involved her, so she stepped forward:

“Girl, you’re no match for him. Come back quickly before he gets angry and find out what happened.”

Mitarashi Anko was also in a dilemma at this moment. Based on their brief encounter, she knew that she was no match for Uchiha Kakuzan. Moreover, the difference in their strength was vast. She had only ever felt this kind of pressure from her teacher, Orochimaru.

So, after hearing Tsunade's words, he put away the kunai in his hand, but still said, "I will go to Yugao and explain everything you have done. I hope you will not do anything to hurt her, otherwise, I will come back to you."

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't want to escalate the situation. Besides, the fact that Mitarashi Anko stood up for Uzuki Yugao showed that she was someone who cared about Yugao, and he didn't want Yugao to be caught in the middle and suffer.

Therefore, he did not object to Tsunade's mediation, nor did he care about Mitarashi Anko's harsh words. He nodded and turned to pull Tsunade towards the alley entrance.

Seeing Uchiha Kagami's arrogant attitude, Mitarashi Anko couldn't stand it. As the two were about to leave the alley, she called out, "Hey, you should be careful too, don't get fooled by some scumbags."

Chapter 166 Tsunade's Abnormality

Chapter 166 Tsunade's Abnormality

Uchiha Okayama was speechless upon hearing Mitarashi Anko's words.

The two walked down the street, while Tsunade kept watching Uchiha Kazuyama with a half-smile. Finally, when Uchiha Kazuyama felt a little uncomfortable, she laughed and said, "Scumbag."
