Tsunade and Uchiha Dan quickly approached the crowd within their line of sight.

There were quite a few people coming, and among them was a little girl who looked about six or seven years old, the young Uzumaki Kushina.

Uzumaki Kushina was very cute, especially her long red hair which was very eye-catching.

Behind her were two ninja from the Uzumaki Clan, and beside them were many Konoha ninja.

The Uzumaki Clan and the Uchiha Clan had many similarities.

Good talent, a little arrogant, and very good-looking.

Both races also had similarly tragic fates, envied and hated for their talent, and eventually annihilated.

Of course, none of this had happened yet.

However, the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools had already begun to show signs.

Starting a year ago, news had begun to spread throughout the Ninja World that the Uzumaki Clan of the Land of Whirlpools mastered various powerful sealing jutsu and could even seal tailed beasts without risk.

No one knew who spread the news, but it swept through the entire Ninja World in a very short time.

And soon there were rumors that the Uzumaki Clan of the Land of Whirlpools was suspected of possessing the Sage Body, which allowed them to live long lives while naturally possessing a large amount of chakra within their bodies.

At the same time, this race was very volatile and difficult to get along with.

The conclusion was: once the Uzumaki Clan continued to develop and grow stronger, no one would be able to check them, and it would threaten the safety of the entire Ninja World.

Anyone with a brain knew that someone was deliberately creating momentum, and the purpose was self-evident.

But a miracle happened.

Almost all the ninja villages chose to believe the rumors and joined the ranks of inciting the theory that the Uzumaki Clan was a threat.

No matter how arrogant the Uzumaki Clan members were, they were extremely worried facing this feeling of an impending storm.

They had given explanations to the outside world, but no one cared.

The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.

As a last resort, the Uzumaki Clan sent Kushina to Konoha and arranged for clan elders to meet Uzumaki Mito and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

They hoped that when the Land of Whirlpools was truly in danger, Konoha would lend a hand out of consideration for their long-standing alliance.

"Sister Tsunade!" Kushina saw Tsunade approaching and immediately stepped forward to greet her.

The two of them were not close; they had only met once before, so Kushina appeared very reserved.

"Kushina, long time no see." Tsunade walked over, picked Kushina up, and her gentle smile immediately made Kushina relax.

"Hello, Kushina!" Uchiha Dan, seeing his future sister-in-law for the first time, also became enthusiastic. "I'm Uchiha Dan!"

"Big brother, hello to you too. Are you Sister Tsunade's boyfriend?" Kushina blinked her big, watery eyes and asked curiously.

Tsunade cast a resentful glance at Uchiha Dan, blushed, and pretended to be calm as she explained, "We... are just good friends!"

Being a couple required both parties to admit it.

Tsunade didn't mind, but since Uchiha Dan didn't acknowledge it, she didn't have the face to say it.

"Yes, very good friends!" Uchiha Dan added with a smile.

"Oh, oh!" Kushina looked innocent, which amused both Uchiha Dan and Tsunade.

The group then headed towards Konoha.

Along the way, Uchiha Dan kept telling Kushina about the delicious food, drinks, and fun things in Konoha, occasionally telling jokes to make her happy and reduce her nervousness as much as possible, leaving Tsunade unable to interject.

Seeing Uchiha Dan's patient and gentle demeanor towards Kushina, Tsunade's mood was complicated.

This guy was very respectful of Uzumaki Mito, very good to Nawaki, and very enthusiastic towards the newly met Kushina.

He no longer resented even his grand-uncle, Tobirama Senju.

For anyone related to Tsunade, Uchiha Dan showed his best side, which touched Tsunade greatly.

But for her... he was indifferent, neither cold nor warm, always maintaining only a superficial relationship.

Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade immediately took Kushina and the other two Uzumaki Clan members to see Uzumaki Mito first.

Uchiha Dan did not follow; instead, he returned home to wait for Namikaze Minato, intending to give him some special instructions.

He didn't know if the incident of Kumogakure kidnapping Kushina would still happen, but in any case, he couldn't let this sister-in-law slip away.

In the Ninja World.

It's best to start dating early!

After adapting to her new home environment for three days, on the morning of the fourth day, Tsunade personally escorted Kushina to a spot one hundred meters away from the entrance of the Ninja Academy.

She did this so that other students would not feel pressured when interacting with Kushina, so she had specifically instructed Kushina to conceal her identity.

Uchiha Dan, who "happened" to arrive with Namikaze Minato, was speechless.

Would it kill her to take her directly to the main entrance?

The Ninja Academy was not a place to learn academic knowledge, but a place to train emotionless warriors.

The students here are full of energy and always looking for a fight.

A transfer student is easily targeted, so they need to use their status to intimidate everyone first, then they can get along normally with their classmates in the days to come.

Tsunade can be a hands-off manager then.

Thinking about how Kushina, despite her status, was bullied every day at the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Dan felt Tsunade was too carefree.

Fortunately, I, Uchiha Dan, have already made plans.

"Tsunade, Kushina, good morning!" Uchiha Dan led Namikaze Minato towards the sisters who were about to part ways.

"Uh... I don't remember you usually taking Minato to school? What's going on today?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.

"My boy here is friendly with everyone and usually goes to and from school with his classmates, so I naturally don't bother," Uchiha Dan said, patting Namikaze Minato's head with a smile. "But today is different."

"Minato!" Uchiha Dan crouched down and asked seriously, "Have you remembered everything I've told you these past few days?"

"I remember!" Minato replied with a serious little face.

Then he walked over to Kushina and greeted her, "Hello Kushina, my name is Namikaze Minato."

"My brother said that since you're new to school, you might have trouble adjusting. If you need any help, just tell me directly, don't be polite."

"If anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat them up for you," Namikaze Minato said, puffing out his small fists in a mock-fierce manner.

However, he was already harmless-looking, and since he was small and very cute, his fierce expression had no deterrent effect and instead amused both Tsunade and Uchiha Dan.

Kushina's eyes lit up. She looked at Namikaze Minato, then at Uchiha Dan, and finally nodded vigorously at Namikaze Minato.

She suddenly realized that this guy, who she found a bit unlikable at first glance, seemed different from what she had imagined.

Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito had treated Kushina well these past few days, but because they hadn't spent much time together, they hadn't truly connected.

Being suddenly sent to the Ninja Academy to attend classes, it would be a lie to say Kushina wasn't anxious.

Uchiha Dan's arrangements and Namikaze Minato's guarantee were what she truly needed at this moment.

A few simple words settled her heart, and she even felt a hint of anticipation.

She wanted to see if Namikaze Minato would do as he said if someone really bullied her.

"Wait a minute!" Tsunade, who was a bit bewildered, quickly stepped forward and asked, "Dan, what are you doing?"

"Helping Kushina adjust to her new environment!" Uchiha Dan said nonchalantly.

"Are you sure you're not here to stir up trouble?" Tsunade was getting anxious.

"What are you saying? I am here to stir up trouble, but I wouldn't go against a bunch of kids. Alright, just listen to me!"

After entering the school, Namikaze Minato and Kushina parted ways.

Namikaze Minato went directly to the classroom, while Kushina went to the teacher's office, as Tsunade had instructed her.

Outside the school gate.

"Dan, are your arrangements really okay? I have a bad feeling something's going to happen," Tsunade asked nervously.

"Don't worry, my brother is very strong!"

Tsunade was even more speechless. Were they even talking about the same thing?
