The bleak autumn wind carried a refreshing chill as it swirled gently across this land known as Hakumai.
Amid the pleasant rustling sound.
Fiery red maple leaves were swept up by the wind, drifting toward the clear sky and into the distance.
They formed clusters of scattered flames in the air.
Giant roosters nearly two meters tall, their bodies pitch-black, their combs and wattles crowned by blazing flames, pulled their respective carriages as they raced north on thick, powerful legs, forming two continuous convoys stretching over a hundred meters.
The flaming roosters held their heads high, the wheels rumbled on, and dust billowed through the air.
Flags hanging from the carriages snapped sharply in the wind, while the crests of the Uchiha and Senju Clans fluttered amid the roar.
"Great-Grandfather, Wano Island is so interesting! It's far livelier than Konoha was back then!"
Thirty-three-year-old Tsunade sat inside the extraordinarily well-shockproof carriage, drinking sake heartily from her cup as she smiled at Hashirama Senju, who was admiring the scenery outside.
She had specifically taken leave from Esdeath to come here this time.
After all, it was her grandfather's first visit to Wano Country. Of course she had to welcome him.
Over the past few days, Tsunade had been run ragged, leading the God of Thunder, the Wind God, and the other clansmen in tidying up the clan lands the World Government had assigned to them.
She had heard that these clan lands had originally been estates belonging to prominent families from the former "Wano Country era."
Thus, both the environment and facilities were fairly good, and the land area was decent as well.
Although the Senju Clan did not have many members, their land was not much smaller than that of the Uchiha Clan. That was probably thanks to her grandfather.
