Hearing Tsunade agree to his proposal, Byakuya smiled and immediately grabbed her long legs.
"Ah... You damn bastard, what are you doing?!..."
"I already agreed to help your Uchiha Clan train medical ninja..."
Feeling Byakuya's movements, Tsunade cried out in a panic.
"Don't move. I'm treating you..."
Byakuya held down the struggling Tsunade and immediately used the Mystical Palm Technique to treat the severed muscles in her thigh.
"Y-you know our Senju Clan's Medical Ninjutsu?..."
Seeing Byakuya's treatment method, Tsunade asked in surprise.
Although there were many people in Konoha who knew Medical Ninjutsu, everyone's techniques were different.
So Tsunade was absolutely certain that the Medical Ninjutsu Byakuya was using was exactly the same as the Senju Clan's technique she knew.
The Senju Clan's Medical Ninjutsu was being used by a member of the Uchiha Clan. How could Tsunade not be surprised?
"Who knows? Maybe our Uchiha Clan and your Senju Clan used to be one family..."
Hearing Tsunade's question, Byakuya replied nonchalantly.
As a transmigrator, Byakuya knew very well that the powers of both the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan came from the Sage of Six Paths.
They had only become enemies because Black Zetsu had driven a wedge between them.
"The Senju and Uchiha were once one family? How is that possible?!..."
Tsunade clearly didn't believe Byakuya.
"Believe it or not, your injuries are healed..."
Byakuya said to Tsunade.
Hearing him, Tsunade tried to stand and moved her body around.
"I'm really healed..."
"This guy really knows our Senju Clan's jutsu!..."
"How is this possible?!... Could the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan really be connected somehow?!..."
Tsunade wondered suspiciously.
Although she still didn't believe that the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan had any connection, she remembered what Byakuya had said and planned to look into it carefully when she had time.
And so, Tsunade became the Uchiha Clan's medical team captain and began helping train medical ninja at the Uchiha Clan's hospital.
With Tsunade, a medical master, guiding them, the Uchiha Clan's medical skills improved rapidly, at a visibly noticeable pace.
Tsunade's arrival at the Uchiha Clan had made many people uneasy.
Especially the Senju Clan.
"Release our clan leader..."
"What are you Uchiha Clan people doing?! Why have you imprisoned Lady Tsunade?!"
"Your Uchiha Clan has gone too far..."
A group of Senju Clan members were shouting loudly at the Uchiha Clan's compound.
Their goal was simple: to rescue their clan leader, Tsunade Senju.
"Everyone from the Senju Clan, I've already told you..."
"Our Security Force hasn't imprisoned Tsunade Senju..."
"She's now the head of the medical department in the Uchiha Clan and is helping us train medical ninja..."
Uchiha En explained as he looked at the Senju Clan members.
But clearly, none of them believed Uchiha En.
As far as the Senju Clan members were concerned, the Uchiha Clan had taken their clan leader, Tsunade Senju, and must be torturing her.
"What happened here?!..."
Just then, Byakuya hurried over from a distance.
Seeing the commotion, he couldn't help asking what was going on.
"Lord Byakuya, they're all members of the Senju Clan..."
"They want us to release Lady Tsunade..."
Uchiha En hurriedly explained to Byakuya.
"Release Tsunade?! What a joke..."
"Tsunade is one of us now! How could we possibly let her go?"
Byakuya said.
He valued a powerful medical ninja like Tsunade very highly.
Now that Tsunade had joined the Uchiha Clan, there was no way Byakuya would let her go so easily.
"You're Uchiha Byakuya?!..."
An elderly Senju Clan member who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, had a face full of wrinkles, and was missing an arm, looked at Byakuya and asked.
"That's right. I'm Uchiha Byakuya..."
"Who are you?..."
Byakuya asked curiously.
"My name is Goketsu Senju..."
The old man from the Senju Clan replied.
"Goketsu Senju?! You're Hashirama Senju's brother..."
Hearing the name, Byakuya was quite surprised.
If he remembered correctly, Senju Clan members from Hashirama Senju's generation all had names ending in the character "ma."
In other words, they all belonged to the "ma" generation.
So when Byakuya heard the old Senju's name, he was sure the man had lived in the same era as Hashirama Senju.
"Hashirama Senju was my cousin..."
The old man said proudly.
The entire Senju Clan took pride in Hashirama Senju.
As Hashirama Senju's cousin, he was proud of him, too.
"I never thought Hashirama Senju had other siblings who were still alive..."
"I thought you were all dead..."
Byakuya said in surprise.
"Hmph..."
Hearing Byakuya's words, Goketsu Senju snorted.
"Uchiha Byakuya, release Tsunade right now..."
"Otherwise, our Senju Clan won't let your Uchiha Clan get away with this..."
Hearing Goketsu Senju, Byakuya couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, you won't let us get away with it..."
"With what? Does your Senju Clan even have any fighting strength left?!..."
Byakuya said with disdain.
"What did you say?! Are you looking down on our Senju Clan?!..."
Hearing Byakuya, Goketsu Senju grew furious.
"What? Am I wrong?..."
"All that's left of your Senju Clan are the elderly, the weak, and the injured. What right do you have to stand against our Uchiha Clan?..."
Byakuya continued to mock the Senju Clan members in front of him.
The Senju Clan members there were either elderly cripples or half-grown children.
Byakuya didn't even need to step in. A few members of the Security Force could easily deal with them.
"Scoundrel, don't underestimate our Senju Clan..."
"Our Senju Clan will never surrender!..."
Hearing Byakuya, the Senju Clan members grew even angrier.
"Tsk, tsk... I'm not underestimating the Senju Clan..."
"But your Senju Clan isn't what it used to be..."
"And you have Tobirama Senju's good disciples to thank for that!..."
"If it weren't for them, your Senju Clan wouldn't have ended up like this!..."
Byakuya continued.
Hearing him, the Senju Clan members grew even angrier.
[ Ding, sensed Senju Yumi's anger, +600 Negative Energy, Ninjutsu +20...] [ Ding, sensed Senju Yua's anger, +700 Negative Energy, Ninjutsu +30...] [ Ding, sensed Senju Sora's anger, +800 Negative Energy, Ninjutsu +40...] [...]
Seeing the steadily increasing Negative Energy, Byakuya was delighted.
Another nice batch of leeks.
But strangely, Goketsu Senju hadn't given him any Negative Energy.
He'd just shown such contempt for the Senju Clan, so why wasn't Goketsu angry?
As a ninja who had survived since the Warring States Period, Goketsu Senju must have had plenty of powerful abilities.
Byakuya had hoped to harvest a few leeks from him.
But why couldn't he get anything out of this one? Was Goketsu Senju really as tough as his name suggested?
"Uchiha Byakuya, what do you know?!..."
Goketsu Senju asked with an unusually serious expression.
"Heh, I know plenty!..."
"Why Senju Clan ninja died in such large numbers during the Ninja War? How the Senju Clan declined?..."
"I just don't know what you want to ask..."
Byakuya looked at Goketsu Senju as he spoke.
"That's enough..."
"Uchiha Byakuya, if you dare hurt Tsunade, I won't let you get away with it..."
"Let's go..."
Goketsu Senju shouted, then waved his hand and led all the Senju Clan members away.
"Tch... The more you tell me not to hurt her, the more I want to lay a hand on Tsunade..."
"I'm going to go beat her up right now..."
Seeing Goketsu Senju walk away, Byakuya retorted, refusing to be deterred.
At his words, Goketsu Senju paused for half a step, but still led the Senju Clan members away.
But from the notification that rang in his ear, Byakuya knew Goketsu Senju wasn't quite so calm.
[ Ding, sensed Goketsu Senju's anger, +50 Negative Energy, obtained Ninjutsu: Water Release—Water Dragon Bullet Technique...]
Tsk, tsk... Even the toughest leek could be harvested.
Would he meet him at midnight tonight?
What was that old geezer up to?
It turned out that just before Itama Senju left, he had told Byakuya in a voice only the two of them could hear that he would come find him at midnight.
That left Byakuya feeling puzzled.
What did an old guy from the Warring States Period want with him?
