I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Seeing that Tsunade still didn't believe him, he rolled his eyes and continued, "How about we make a bet? The stake is whether I can master Sage Mode?"

Upon hearing about the bet, Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Alright! Then I'll bet that you won't succeed in your cultivation, and the stake will be... will be... will be ten million taels, how about that?"

“Alright! Then I’ll bet I can succeed.” Yun Ting nodded with a smile. “As for the bet, I don’t expect you, a penniless wretch, to come up with even a penny. Let’s do something for me unconditionally.”

"It's a deal!" Tsunade said impatiently, afraid that Yun Ting would go back on his word.

In her view, Yun Ting was doomed to fail, and the ten million taels would be a complete waste, so she naturally had to complete the bet as soon as possible.

As for the bets she lost, she didn't care at all. Even if the demands were unreasonable, what difference would it make? They were definitely not going to be fulfilled anyway.

However, this person selectively forgot that she always loses when she gambles!

The only exception is when bad news comes from her side.

However, the conditions for the latter to happen right now are not present!

Seeing Tsunade's excited expression, Yun Ting smiled slightly, as if he could already see the fish being put into the pot.

Chapter Seventeen: The Bloodline Inheritance of the Senju Clan

Afterwards, Yun Ting returned to Konoha and had his subordinates prepare a meal. Oh, and there was also a large amount of fine wine that Tsunade had repeatedly instructed him to bring along. He packed it all up and took it to Shikkotsu Forest, as a way to have a meal with Tsunade, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

To be honest, their relationship wasn't very good because of a certain incident.

However, with the death of Nawaki and the passing of some of the Senju elders who were still barely clinging to life, the once renowned Senju of the Forest now only had these two men and women left. All the great grudges had vanished.

At this moment, the two sat cross-legged facing each other. They had barely touched the food, but most of the wine Yun Ting had brought was already gone.

The vast majority of them ended up in Tsunade's mouth, that drunkard.

"That old stubborn man, Masamori, died three months ago, right?"

After taking off her long robe and wearing only a gray sleeveless top resembling a kimono, revealing her extremely voluptuous figure, Tsunade, after another hearty drink, suddenly asked a question with a flushed face.

Although Yun Ting hadn't drunk much, his mind was a bit foggy. After thinking for several seconds upon hearing this, he realized that the Mamoru Tsunade mentioned was the last elder of the Senju clan. However, this old man, who was active during the time of the First and Second Hokage, had finally succumbed to the ravages of time and breathed his last breath some time ago.

This event also occurred before Yun Ting traveled through time.

He nodded and casually asked, "Elder Zhenshou passed away three months ago, what happened?"

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then filled both of their glasses with the sake bottle, gestured for them to clink glasses, and said, "Did this old stubborn man say anything before he died? You should have been by his side then."

Still fuming from the strong liquor, Yun Ting didn't think much and directly recited what Masamune had said from his memory: "What else could he say? He just wanted us, the only two remaining members of the Senju clan, to marry and have a pure-blooded offspring to continue the Senju lineage. We mustn't let things turn out like when Konoha was first established, allowing the Senju to intermarry with outsiders, which led to the Senju bloodline becoming increasingly diluted, and even the number of people with the surname Senju decreasing year by year. He said he couldn't achieve his goal in his lifetime, and he died with regrets... um..."

As he finished speaking, Yun Ting finally came to his senses, his body stiffened, and he looked at Tsunade with a tense expression.

He suddenly remembered that it was this very incident that had caused such a tense situation between the two of them.

This happened many years ago.

At that time, Tsunade was young and rebellious. With her tyrannical personality, she was furious when she heard that the clan elders, led by Mamoru and some of whom were still alive and had one foot in the grave, wanted her to marry the young Yunting so that the Senju clan could continue with a purer bloodline. She stormed in and beat up all the clan elders.

joke!

How could someone as dignified as Tsunade marry a kid so much younger than her?

As for whether the Senju clan is considered a separate clan, under the influence of the Third Hokage, and even the First and Second Hokage, her thinking leaned more towards the entire Hidden Leaf Village, rather than just the clan itself.

Anyway, there are only a handful of Senju clan members left. Whatever happened before, things will continue the same way.

Tsunade consistently refused from beginning to end, and even took her anger out on Yun Ting, which led to the latter's memories of being beaten up from time to time.

Yun Ting, who was young at the time and had been inexplicably robbed, naturally harbored resentment towards Tsunade.

Of course, as time passed, the past grudges and grievances naturally turned into precious memories, and the two no longer held grudges. Even when they occasionally clashed afterward, there was no malice involved; instead, it became a habit.

However, the issue itself still exists, and it's better not to mention it, because bringing it up is rather awkward.

Sure enough, after listening to Yun Ting's story, Tsunade's already flushed face turned even redder with anger.

"That damned old bastard! Even on his deathbed he was restless! He died with his eyes open, still not at peace? Did he really want to meddle in my affairs?!"

It was because of the constant obstruction of these old guys that she and Kato Dan, who had some feelings for each other, were kept from getting into a formal relationship until the latter died in battle.

It's the same now. So many years have passed, and he still hasn't forgotten to pull this trick on himself before he dies.

Still not satisfied, Tsunade punched the ground.

Boom!

To her right, a huge crater instantly formed under her punch.

Seeing this, Yun Ting couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Upon noticing Tsunade's menacing gaze, he hastily declared, "I also think Elder Masamune is senile. What era are we living in? Why are you still clinging to old ways? Shouldn't we be more open to free love?"

After saying that, seeing that Tsunade's expression had softened, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Besides, there's a difference of more than ten years between us. Even putting you aside, I wouldn't want to marry someone so much older than me... cough cough..."

He spoke too quickly in a moment of inspiration.

Noticing Tsunade's sudden and dangerous change in demeanor, Yun Ting quickly slammed on the brakes, adding, "What I mean is, Elder Masamune and the others were wrong from the start. They simply want the Senju clan to continue to thrive and grow, so they shouldn't have been so fixated on the two of us! The purity of our bloodline is secondary; what's more important is encouraging us to spread our influence. For example, if I were to marry dozens of women at once, our Senju clan would definitely grow strong again within two generations!"

"Oh? I didn't expect that! Yun Ting, you actually have the idea of ​​building a harem?" As if she was seeing Yun Ting for the first time, Tsunade widened her eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.

"No, no, no! I was just giving examples to refute Elder Zhenshou and the others' views. Don't take it seriously." Concerned about his glorious image, Yun Ting quickly denied it.

"Heh!" Tsunade chuckled coldly, her expression quickly shifting from sunny to stormy. "So, you want someone younger, which is why you disagree with those old men's opinions. Is it because you look down on me, this old woman?"

When she said the word "old," Tsunade emphasized it, clenching her fists so tightly they made a cracking sound.

Clearly, Yun Ting's unintentional yet truthful words had deeply hurt her, and she was still holding a grudge.

Yun Ting was stunned.

He never expected Tsunade to make such a roundabout connection.

He didn't know what to say.

To Tsunade, saying she disagreed was just a way of saying she was an old woman.

If I say I agree, wouldn't that contradict my own rebuttal?

With a slight headache, his mind raced, and he managed to come up with a suitable answer: "Actually... Elder Masamori and the others arranging marriages is definitely wrong. But! If I really want to find a marriage partner, not one forced by outsiders, then Tsunade, you are absolutely the best choice. Who can blame me when you have the most charm! Haha!"

Is that alright now?

He both sided with Tsunade in refuting Elder Mamoru and the others' actions, and also complimented Tsunade's charm, saying she was definitely his goddess.

Surely this doesn't mean they dislike the other person?

Yun Ting gave himself a thumbs up for his quick wit.

However, he didn't notice that Tsunade's expression was becoming increasingly strange.

Boom!

The next second, an even more violent explosion erupted within the Wet Bone Forest, sending thick smoke and dust billowing into the air.

From within came Yun Ting's furious voice: "Tsunade, what are you doing, you crazy woman?"

Chapter 18 Battle against Tsunade

boom! boom! boom!

The blinding sonic booms echoed continuously.

Yun Ting and Tsunade moved swiftly through the Shikkotsu Forest, one retreating and the other advancing.

Many of the slug clones along the way looked up, but soon went back to doing their own thing.

"Tsunade, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Ting dodged a downward kick from Tsunade with a quick movement.

After witnessing the ground instantly crumble and collapse, his lips twitched slightly, and he continued to question.

Ahead, amidst the thick smoke and dust, Tsunade stepped forward and said, "Going crazy? No! I just didn't expect a brat to dare to mess with me. I'm just going to teach him a lesson."

I go!

I'm just saying this because I agree with you.

Yun Ting was speechless.

Of course, he did not deny that he had some sincerity in his words.

After all, Tsunade, with her proud and magnanimous nature, is extremely charming. Although she is more than ten years older than him, with the Yin Seal, she not only does not age, but can also maintain her youthful and peak physical appearance.

This also means that even when Tsunade is in her seventies or eighties, she will still look like a delicate twenty-year-old woman.

If she weren't so short-tempered, she would be the perfect partner.

Even so, which LSP wouldn't be tempted?

As an ordinary person, Yun Ting was naturally the same, especially given that the two already had a special connection in this regard.

Of course, despite thinking this in his heart, he still retorted on the surface, "Tsunade, you're wrong about that. If outsiders see it, they'll just think you're an old cow eating young grass, and it's obvious who's at a disadvantage."

"Old cow? Young grass?" Tsunade gritted her teeth in anger. She took a deep breath, letting her exaggerated chest pound violently, and then said fiercely, "It seems that your confidence has really soared since becoming Hokage! Then let me test how good you are as the new Fourth Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ting's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and for some reason, he suddenly felt an urge to try it out.

He decided to go with the flow, so he stopped and stopped dodging, and said with a smile, "Alright! I also want to see what kind of person one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha is."

The wet bone forest became exceptionally quiet at this moment.

Seeing Yun Ting's extremely serious expression, Tsunade's strange anger caused by what he had said earlier dissipated, and her eyes regained their calmness.

This was a battle that was not planned or anticipated.

But it is clear that both sides have made preparations quickly.

Then let's have a battle!

"Earth Release: Fierce Earth Palm Strike".

Yun Ting took the initiative, rapidly forming hand seals before slamming his right hand down on the ground.

In an instant, the land within a hundred meters of him was subjected to a powerful earthquake, either rising or cracking, forcing Tsunade, who was about to get close, to stop and dodge left and right.

Taking advantage of this moment, two wisps of white smoke rose from the left and right of Yun Ting, and two shadow clones identical to him appeared.

Then, the three of them stepped forward and formed a hand seal.
