Shameless! That evil Uchiha brat!

However, Tsunade smiled, put down her work, and jokingly put her hands on her hips.

"Kushina, you're about to marry Minato, you can't keep acting so crazy. For Minato's sake, you need to calm down."

"Many people and many things cannot be judged by appearances alone."

Looking at the innocent-looking Kushina in front of her, she felt a strange sense of worry.

Since her contact with Uchiha Sō and the reminders he gave her, she re-examined everything that had happened around her in the past and discovered that Konoha was far from as bright as it seemed on the surface.

Were the deaths of Nawaki, Minato's disciple Obito, and others truly just battlefield accidents?

Here's a joke: Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, had his disciple killed by an explosive tag trap on the battlefield under his command; Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash, could lead his men to cut off Iwagakure's supply lines and escape unscathed, yet on the battlefield under his command, he couldn't provide timely assistance, resulting in the death of his own disciple...

Is this an old tradition of the Naruto lineage?

The probability of it being a coincidence once or twice is too low. Moreover, Tsunade has investigated and found that the Senju and Uchiha clans have suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield over the years. This is definitely not a coincidence...

Do they really think Tsunade is an innocent child?

"Kushinaga, you must be careful in the future. Not everyone in the village is a good person. Some people are not as virtuous as they seem. The decline of the Senju and Uchiha clans over the years is probably due to the machinations of others, and even the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools..."

At this moment, Tsunade's feelings for her teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, were extremely complex.

She believed her teacher wouldn't do these things "personally," but she didn't believe Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely unaware.

More likely, it's tacit approval!

"what!"

Upon hearing all this, Kushina Uzumaki stared wide-eyed in shock, her expression one of disbelief.

"Tsunade, you mean there are some people in the village... how dare they?"

“You know what I represent, but even so, these people still dare to scheme against me like this. With your status, Kushina, I'm afraid you'll face just as many challenges as I have…”

Tsunade, now on guard, stared at Kushina Uzumaki and gave her earnest advice.

After hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki felt alarmed and nodded cautiously.

"Don't worry, Tsunade-neechan, I will be more careful from now on."

Since the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, Kushina Uzumaki has been sensitive, and Tsunade's reminder this time made her realize something.

Even someone like Tsunade, with her identity, could be manipulated into losing her younger brother and lover. So how could she, the Nine-Tails, possibly hold back?

Although Minato is indeed very strong, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days!

After confirming the feasibility of his bloodline completion plan, how could Uchiha Sō forget to remind his two closest Sannin, Orochimaru and Tsunade?

The fact that these two people distanced themselves from the Third Hokage was definitely a great thing for him and the Uchiha clan at that time.

He's a master at harming others for his own benefit!

"Hey, who's this? What a rare guest!"

Uchiha Sho, who knew the way well, arrived at Tsunade's office and saw someone he hated very much.

After all, when he was in contact with Tsunade, he inevitably showed some covetousness towards her.

These things are normal for the people involved, but for Kushina Uzumaki, who has Kagura's insight and a sensitive heart, they are absolutely unacceptable.

Moreover, Kushina Uzumaki always felt that the way the other person looked at her was a bit strange; it was a look of sympathy, pity, but also a bit of envy.

The other party's attitude towards him wasn't very good, but it was different from the fear that ordinary people in the village had of the Nine-Tails.

Anyway, no matter how Kushina looked at Uchiha Eiji, she couldn't stand him.

You think you can steal Tsunade from her? Dream on!

"Hmph! I came to see if there's anything wrong with Tsunade-neechan. It would be strange if you, the vice-commander of the Security Department, showed up here on the day the Cloud Village delegation arrived!"

Although Kushina's impression of him had changed somewhat because of Tsunade's recent persuasion, it didn't stop her from confronting him.

Of course, after her outburst, Kushina Uzumaki turned and left. After all, she only "had the mood" to pay attention to Tsunade after confirming that Minato Namikaze would be back soon.

Now that she's finished talking to Tsunade, she still needs to prepare a surprise for Minato.

Chapter 45, Tsunade's Change of Attitude

"Kid, you must have been pretty busy lately. How come you have time to come over now?"

After Kushina left, Tsunade leaned back in her office chair with a lazy look on her face, looking at the handsome and imposing young man in front of her.

Uchiha Xiang looked at Tsunade, a stubborn look flashing across his face, but he eventually fell silent.

He perfectly portrayed the sense of frustration and resentment of bearing a heavy burden and carrying a mission.

"Tsunade, although the Uchiha have made mistakes, all we want now is to protect the village with everyone, not to be isolated."

“The Uchiha clan had no choice before, but now I want to lead the Uchiha clan to forge a new path.”

Then, Uchiha Sho explained to Tsunade step by step the reforms he had implemented in the Security Department during this period.

At this moment, in Tsunade's eyes, this brat in front of her, although he had a lot of opinions about her teacher, the Third Hokage, was also full of love for his clan and village.

"Alright, I didn't mean to blame you."

Tsunade's forthright personality means she won't be as sentimental as many young girls.

"Kid, don't you want to talk about the rumors circulating in the village? They've already reached Kushina's ears..."

Seeing the meaningful look in Tsunade's eyes, Uchiha Xiang revealed a determined expression.

"Tsunade, you know the current situation. Kumogakure has taken the initiative to come and negotiate, Iwagakure is lacking in logistics, Kirigakure has been repelled by me, and Sunagakure is firmly suppressed by Orochimaru. The dawn of peace has already appeared."

"The third generation is getting old, and the village needs a younger leader."

"Given your status and influence, Tsunade, if rumors spread in the village at this time that whoever marries you will become the Fourth Hokage, who will be most affected?"

"That's of course the new hero of Konoha, Uchiha Xiang, the vice-captain of the Security Department, who once said he wanted to marry you."

"This rumor could even severely damage our relationship and make you doubt my sincerity..."

A new hero? Seriously?

Tsunade smiled calmly, gently raising her slender, beautiful legs, which were elegantly held in the air, exuding a serene beauty.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Tsunade's long, golden hair. At that moment, Tsunade seemed to be possessed by Athena, the goddess of victory, both divine and heroic.

Chakra is a mixture of spiritual and physical energy. Looking at the strong characters in Naruto, almost all of them have their own firm beliefs.

Once their beliefs are shattered, their strength will be greatly diminished.

As the saying goes, "Darkening makes you ten times stronger, while whitewashing makes you three times weaker!"

Uchiha Sho never intended to destroy Tsunade's beliefs. Although that would have allowed him to defeat Tsunade more quickly, would Tsunade still be the same person he knew at that time?

Therefore, he can only let the other person begin to doubt themselves, and even when the other person's belief becomes blurred and flaws are revealed, he can unconsciously change that belief to what she herself thinks.

"Of course, I am the inheritor of the Will of Fire, and everything I do is for the village!"

Seemingly sensing Tsunade's wavering, Uchiha Ei said firmly.

In short, whether you believe it or not, everything I do is for the village, and what I'm passing on is the Will of Fire.

For someone like Tsunade who deeply loves Konoha, the village founded by her grandfather, nothing could touch her heart more than this...

This is similar to a man dating different women; he must understand each woman's needs and avoid wasting his time.

Knowing perfectly well how Tsunade was persuaded by Naruto Uzumaki through her love for the village, yet still not knowing how to maximize her own benefit, is simply insane.

The ninjas are after intelligence!

"Tch! You paranoid Uchiha brat!"

Looking at Uchiha Eboshi staring intently at her, Tsunade finally turned her head away and muttered to herself.

"So what are you thinking? Do you want to become the Fourth Hokage?"

Suddenly, Tsunade changed the subject, her bright brown eyes staring straight at him. At that moment, Uchiha Ei took a deep breath.

Here comes the key point!

Tsunade is destined to become the Fifth Hokage; she's not so easily fooled, and that's why she's testing him again.

But, it's acting!

Bah! The highest level of lying is nine parts falsehood and one part truth.

"Tsunade, it would be a lie to say I don't want to be the Fourth Hokage, but to prove that my love for you is pure and untainted, I'm giving up this chance to become the Fourth Hokage..."

Uchiha Xiang's face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with struggle, looking exactly like a young man who had been blinded by love.

At this moment, in Tsunade's eyes, the young man who was the same age as her younger brother had such a burning gaze.

He even temporarily set aside the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village for his own sake.

He has endured so much for the Uchiha clan and the village all these years.

For a moment, Tsunade closed her eyes, a hint of mockery rising in her heart.

The "evil Uchiha" are actively trying to integrate into the village, while some people who are high and mighty have forgotten who put them in that position.

After testing the waters and confirming Uchiha Sō's character and feelings for her, Tsunade suddenly changed her tone.

"Elephant! You'd better behave yourself from now on, after all, the whole village, and even the Uchiha clan, are watching!"

That teasing, indulgent voice caused Uchiha Xiang's brain to freeze.

He looked at Tsunade, who was looking at him with the sweet affection of an older sister.

So big! So white!

Ok?

Does this mean Tsunade has agreed to and accepted their feelings?

He was about to get on a big truck, and Xiao Chunan wasn't ready yet!

How could this happen so suddenly! What should we do?

"Tsunade, you..."

Although Uchiha Sho wanted to drive big, he also hoped that his feelings would be simple.
