Elder! This is All for the Uchiha!

"What is this!?"

Looking at the intelligence scroll Uchiha Yoru handed over, Tsunade couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This felt all too familiar. The last time it was a scroll just like this that nearly cost Nawaki his life.

At this moment, Tsunade's expression turned grave.

After Uchiha Yoru presented the scroll, his own expression became solemn.

"Captain Tsunade, after I returned from Naka Shrine, Elder Setsuna secretly gave me this intelligence scroll."

As Tsunade unrolled the scroll, a look of anger appeared on her face. After reading it completely, she angrily slammed her fist onto the table in front of her.

Crack!

The table broke!

"Damn it!"

Furious flames blazed in Tsunade's light brown eyes. They were actually plotting against her.

The content of this intelligence was simple: it detailed future events, written by Uchiha Yoru.

The gist was that Nawaki would die, leaving Tsunade heartbroken and vulnerable, making her an easy target. Coincidentally, Tsunade had prepared a medical report to present at the Jonin meeting.

Nawaki's death this time would only solidify Tsunade's resolve on this matter.

This intelligence clearly analyzed Tsunade's personality and devised a plan to exploit her weakness. What's more, the person who prepared this plan knew her very well.

After all, not many people knew about the medical plan report she had been preparing earlier.

This was the reason for Tsunade's anger.

Seeing Tsunade's fury, Uchiha Yoru's expression tightened. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"Captain Tsunade, Elder Setsuna's health is not good. I observe he likely only has two or three years left."

He could have gotten angry about the previous intelligence because it could have been fake and malicious. But Nawaki's accident had already proven the intelligence's authenticity.

So what about this current intelligence?

Therefore, Uchiha Yoru feigned a somber expression, first mentioning that the old geezer wouldn't live much longer, and then began to persuade Tsunade.

"Captain Tsunade, at this time of war, although this intelligence was uncovered by Elder Setsuna, it's not impossible that it's the work of an enemy village."

As he spoke, Uchiha Yoru's expression became firm, as if he had started to believe his own words.

"Captain Tsunade, I believe it must be a spy from an enemy village, trying to provoke discord between the Senju Clan and the village from the shadows."

Tsunade let out a cold laugh at the sight of him speaking so definitively, completely convinced it was a scheme by a spy.

"Kid, no wonder the Uchiha let you get close to Kushina. I suppose this intelligence influenced them too."

Without hesitation, Tsunade coldly laughed and threw the intelligence scroll in her hand back at him.

Uchiha Yoru fumbled to catch it. Upon seeing the forged intelligence he had created, his eyes widened. He feigned a look of shock.

"This! This!"

The content of this intelligence was, frankly, almost identical to the mission he had honestly confessed earlier. The goal was to get close to the target, only the targets were different.

Uchiha Yoru, under orders from his clan, was to approach Uzumaki Kushina, the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

And this intelligence stated that someone was preparing to take the opportunity to approach Tsunade, the Princess of the Senju Clan of the Land of Fire.

It was the same trick!

"What's wrong, kid? Why aren't you talking anymore!"

Tsunade looked at the boy in front of her with a cold smile. Uchiha Yoru looked more and more embarrassed, lowering his head.

Seeing this scene, Tsunade inwardly sneered. Where did the passionate fervor he had earlier go? Wasn't he full of words?

He even made her apologize. This kid was really like a mother cow sitting on an explosive tag, heading for the sky!

However!

Tsunade suddenly had a change of heart. Different positions meant different perspectives. She saw things more comprehensively. It was likely that this Uchiha elder had a deeply hidden intelligence channel.

After all, he was someone who had dared to rebel back then.

And this old ghost wouldn't live much longer. This kid in front of her was exactly the talent she needed!

A hot-headed, radical teenager who, at the slightest disagreement, would throw his life away for Konoha, and could fight for the village and the Uchiha until the next twelve-year-old.

She had a clear understanding of Uchiha Yoru's personality. He was responsible, and so loyal to his clan and the village.

He was also a young shinobi who had activated his Sharingan out of self-blame!

After this Uchiha elder died of illness in the future, wouldn't this kid be able to take his place?

What was the difference between this intelligence channel being in the hands of this kid versus being in her own hands?

With this thought, Tsunade broke into a smile.

"Kid, you're too naive!"

Tsunade snorted coldly. She had already developed a sense of caution. The Uchiha were wary of the Third Hokage, yet their Senju clan wasn't.

This kid thought it was the work of a spy, but her perspective was far from simple. If someone who knew so much intelligence was truly a spy, they would be terrifying.

Konoha is probably already a sieve, riddled with infiltrators.

And since this intelligence was given to her by an old fox from the Uchiha clan, its meaning is clear!

As she thought this, Tsunade understood that this was the Uchiha clan's pledge of allegiance, an attempt to mend relations with the village and gain trust!

With Uchiha Yoru constantly emphasizing that the village was founded by the Senju and Uchiha, and that the Uchiha allied with the Senju to gain the village's trust, this subtle influence had an effect.

Tsunade had, without even realizing it, gradually begun to equate the Senju with the village.

After all, she wasn't wrong to think that way. The village was founded by the Senju, the First and Second Hokage were her grandfathers, and the Third Hokage had only taken over in a time of crisis. Who could say the Senju and the village weren't equivalent?

"Captain Tsunade, I!"

Uchiha Yoru's face turned red. The clan mission he had accepted was rather embarrassing, especially for the proud Uchiha clan.

No one was willing to take this mission, preferring to fight on the front lines in the Land of Rain.

Seeing Uchiha Yoru's awkwardness, Tsunade snorted haughtily.

"Brat, my Senju clan has felt your Uchiha clan's goodwill. I don't care about Kushina's situation, but there's one thing you need to remember: don't try any tricks on me!"

As she said this, Tsunade's eyes flashed with a warning.

Upon seeing this warning gaze, Uchiha Yoru patted his chest and nodded firmly:

"Captain Tsunade, rest assured, I swear on the Uchiha honor!"

He wasn't stupid. If he actually got involved with Uzumaki Kushina, he'd become a thorn in the Third Hokage's faction's side, and might end up like Nawaki.

Dying mysteriously on a simple mission.

He had accepted this mission, just as Mikoto had helped him. It was merely a formality, and he was prepared.

What I can't have, others definitely won't get easily.

He refused to believe that Uzumaki Kushina, someone whose home was destroyed and who was ostracized and guarded, could easily trust others under his influence.

"Brat, this matter ends here."

Looking at Tsunade, Uchiha Yoru nodded solemnly:

"Captain Tsunade, rest assured, I am aware of the Shinobi Secrecy Regulations, and I also have the Uchiha clan's mental seal in my mind. I absolutely will not reveal any information."

Great clans had their own methods of preventing intelligence leaks. For example, the mental seal in their minds was to prevent enemies from extracting useful information through genjutsu if they were captured on the battlefield.

This was also why Tsunade hadn't used genjutsu on him from the beginning, or even the last time he had awakened his kekkei genkai and fallen unconscious.

The Uchiha elder revealing so much intelligence was clearly a gesture of goodwill. If she had resorted to genjutsu, wouldn't that be creating animosity and distrust?

Tsunade wasn't stupid.

Seeing the goodwill Tsunade was extending, Uchiha Yoru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As for the heavy burden Elder Setsuna was carrying, He could only say it was all for the clan. If Elder Setsuna knew, he would surely support him.
