Fini's Clinginess
"What? So, your father is from the Senju Clan, and your mother is from the Uchiha Clan? But the Senju Clan has always forbidden marriage between the Senju and Uchiha, so you..." Tsunade had received far too many surprises today.
Tobirama Senju's performance was also excellent; both brothers are top-notch.
"Their parents knew their actions wouldn't be accepted by their respective clans, so they went into seclusion. However, they taught their children the history of the Uchiha and Senju. As a result, they thought they were very powerful and tried to impress me, but failed. In the end, I captured them alive. Seeing their special abilities, I didn't kill them and took them back to Konoha," Issui said helplessly.
Tsunade paced anxiously around the room, finally asking seriously, "Are there any other people who know their identities?"
Issui immediately said, "These two brothers are really unlucky. They've been training in Ninjutsu all along, and their first battle was against me. So, I'm the only one who knows their identities. One of them inherited the Senju Clan's Wood Release, and the other inherited the Uchiha's Sharingan. Surprisingly, the younger brother's Sharingan isn't cursed. He can awaken it at a certain time. I suspect this is related to your Senju Clan's bloodline."
Tsunade tested Tobirama's head with healing Chakra, and sure enough, it was different from the Uchiha's energy; it was pure power, the power of the Senju.
Shizune was dumbfounded. This wasn't real. She had actually heard Uchiha and Senju unite and give birth to two children with two different Kekkei Genkai powers.
"So, I can only have them wear masks and follow me on missions. Their identities will have a huge impact. If they attract the attention of a dangerous person like Orochimaru, he will probably use his greatest power to capture these two brothers. Living in the shadows is the only way they can live," Issui said, spreading his hands.
"Yes, this is the best way, and the only way. I find it hard to accept right now. The Uchiha and Senju are natural enemies. Is it possible for love to blossom between them? The most unlikely thing has happened, especially since we can't reveal their identities. We'll just have them stay by your side. You've placed a forbidden technique on them?" Tsunade said.
"Yes, I didn't mean to indulge them. I just gave them Secret Technique of the Heaven Clan, which allows me to control their thoughts at any time. This also effectively prevents unpredictable things from happening. It would be a pity to kill them." Issui nodded.
"Don't mention this to anyone from now on. It's best if only a few of us know about it. You can take them away now," Tsunade said, pressing her forehead.
"Yes, we're leaving now. You two idiots, hurry up and put on your masks and follow us." Issui patted the heads of the First and Second generations and said.
The three of them walked out of the Hokage together.
"I never imagined that the Senju and Uchiha would have offspring. The clan's secret scrolls record that when the Sage of Six Paths passed away, he entrusted his will to his two descendants. The elder brother inherited the Sage's eyes and revered power, becoming the Uchiha Clan; the younger brother inherited the Sage's body and understood universal love, becoming the Senju Clan and its branch, the Uzumaki Clan. The two factions were constantly at war... Neither clan could withstand the torment of constant warfare; finally, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, proposed a reconciliation. They were both employed by the Land of Fire, and Konoha was born. At the same time, the other four nations followed the Land of Fire's example and formed their own ninja organizations, thus beginning the era of five nations jointly governing the Shinobi World," Tsunade said quietly.
"So the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan are both descendants of the Sage of Six Paths," Shizune exclaimed.
"No one has ever tried to unite the Senju and Uchiha before. To encounter something like this today would have been unthinkable for the Uchiha, they would have killed the two brothers. The Senju, though benevolent, would surely have imprisoned them too. Different wills and ideals. At most, the Senju and Uchiha only negotiated to establish Konoha, but in the end Madara Uchiha couldn't tolerate his grandfather's ideas and methods, and the hatred between the Senju and Uchiha resurfaced..." Tsunade said, taking a sip of his drink.
"So what do you plan to do?" Shizune asked.
"Let's do as that brat suggested. Besides, he's already placed a forbidden technique on them, so there's no need to worry for now. And who knows, maybe those two brothers will become the pillars of Konoha in the future. People with the Senju bloodline are all compassionate. I believe in them because I see my grandfather and great-grandfather in them. They're so alike..." Tsunade recalled her grandfathers, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju...
"Hey, you two are really talented performers! I thought I was going to teach you how to say it, but you're both amazing. I'm impressed..." Issui said, patting Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju on the shoulder.
"Tch, impressive, kid. Old foxes are always spicier. I never thought Little Tsunade would actually believe it. I really miss how she used to always cling to me with her little cutie. Now she's all grown up and very womanly." Hashirama Senju said happily, it seemed seeing Tsunade made her very happy.
"Tch, she's already fifty years old. She's just using some kind of Secret Technique to keep herself looking young. A woman? She's just an old woman," Issui sarcastically remarked.
"What? No way? Little Tsunade's already so grown up! So many years have passed! You brat, can't you say something nice? Even though Little Tsunade's an old woman, she's still very alluring, isn't she? She's a very charming woman. I wonder if she has children?" Hashirama said.
"Tch, don't you guys know? Auntie Tsunade's lover died from severe injuries during the Second Shinobi World War, and her beloved younger brother, your grandson Senju Nawaki, also perished in that war. It's truly a tragic fate, so she probably started drinking to ease her grief..." Issui said quietly.
"Oh no, poor Little Tsunade, Grandpa is so worried about you. Kid, you can't go against her in the future. Listen to her orders carefully, or I won't work for you anymore." Hashirama said, patting Issui's head.
"Tch, you're mistaken. I'm only twelve, okay? If anyone's letting me win, it's her. Besides, don't worry, your granddaughter inherited your Will of Fire. She won't just fall down easily," Issui said calmly.
"Is that so? Haha..." Hashirama laughed, holding his Hashirama.
Issui brought Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju to the Hyuga Clan. They went straight inside, looked around, and found Haku and Fini playing with flower arranging, while Hinata was doing a mission with her teacher, Kurenai Yuhi.
When it comes to flower arranging, Bai is far more artistic, but as for Fini, let's not even talk about her. Expecting her to know flower arranging is like expecting her to forget chivalric romance novels. In short, she has no talent in this area.
When Fini saw Issui return, she immediately threw herself into Issui arms and refused to get down. She had been incredibly bored during the days Issui was away. Having a dragon baby requires two people to be together, and she couldn't fulfill this dream by being alone.
Issui directly arranged accommodations for Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, placing them within the Hyuga Clan Tobirama Senju. He let them roam freely, as long as they didn't run off. No one in the world could subdue them yet. These two resurrected individuals undoubtedly longed for Konoha for a long time, so he let them wander as they pleased. Issui didn't intend to interfere further; he'd call them in to help when the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out. Asking them for help now would be like bullying them—the Akatsuki were like children in their eyes. Although Issui had resurrected them, he didn't intend to use them immediately. Before the Fourth Shinobi World War began, he'd let them struggle on their own. Besides, his own strength wasn't lacking; his Kekkei Genkai limit was comparable to the Rinnegan. He couldn't always rely on others; otherwise, he wouldn't become truly powerful. Issui resurrected them now to allow their souls to adapt to their bodies. This adaptation period would take two or three years to fully develop their abilities, as they weren't in their original bodies.
Therefore, Issui explicitly told the two Hokage to let them do as they pleased, and that Issui would notify them through his soul when the great battle began.
The First and Second were very satisfied with Issui's approach, as it allowed them to act independently without being misled by others, which they greatly appreciated.
In the evening, Issui, Bai, and Fini had dinner together. As for the two Lord Hokage, sorry, they're out of food. They'll have to find their own. If all else fails, they can learn from the Beggars' Sect' Sect and beg for food.
After dinner, Issui and Baixia chatted for a while. As for what they talked about, Issui wasn't quite sure, because Little Haku Haku was always shy from time to time, maybe he had caught Hinata's shyness.
And then, that was it. Issui went straight to bed; the continuous activity over the past few days had taken a toll on his body.
Before she could fall asleep, Issui was startled awake by the soft body beside her, and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was Fini.
"Hey, Fini, what are you trying to do? Go to sleep, what are you doing so late? You can't sleep in my bed. What if I eat you? You'll be crying then. Besides, what Hinata comes back? I'm doomed. Our love is impossible." Issui pushed the little female dragon who looked similar to the Demon Mirajane.
"No, I want to wake up with you. I like it. I don't care. Anyway, Little Hinata isn't back yet, so it's okay." Fini leaned over Issui and wrapped her arms around his neck, wriggling her body.
"Hey, stop torturing me! I can't resist your temptation! Get off me now, do you hear me...?" Issui was really exasperated with this little witch. He really wanted to have a passionate scene with the Demon Mirajane, but the demon in front of him was actually a little female dragon in disguise, and she might even have little devil horns on her head.
"I don't care, that's how it's written in novels. I'll read you a passage, like, 'Ah, beautiful princess, you are like an angel in my life. Come live with me quickly, and I will cut off all obstacles to protect you, my beloved; ah, prince, you are such a brave knight. And so the two began a happy and blissful life, they embraced each other...' But once they got to the embrace, it just stopped there. I guess they must have started having a baby, so I'm going to hold you tight and not let go." Fini said confidently, her little face raised.
