The Eternal Treasure of Senluo: Wood Release Seed

"How could you possibly possess Wood Release? How is this even possible!"

"Wood Release? Holy crap!?"

Shangguan Yue was startled by Tsunade's words. "Right, how do I have Wood Release?"

Compared to Tsunade's confusion and shock, Shangguan Yue felt as if he were in a dream, his mind flashing back to the reward he received after defeating Senju Nawaki.

Gift of Senju Hashirama—what on earth is this thing?

Shangguan Yue hurriedly checked his log for the detailed description of the Gift of Senju Hashirama.

"Gift of Senju Hashirama: Although Senju Hashirama was carefree, he still understood that strength is everything. For the future of the Senju, he eventually devised a method to condense Wood Release chakra into a physical form. Left for the descendants of the Senju, the purer the bloodline, the easier it is to trigger, granting them the ability that allowed Senju Hashirama to dominate the ninja world: Wood Release."

"Holy crap, that's insane. It's a good thing my bloodline is purer than anyone else's. Haha, talk about a buy-one-get-one deal. Nawaki must have been the only hope for the Senju Clan, but it's a pity that even though this thing was placed on him, it ultimately benefited me."

Tsunade could no longer sit still. A kunai appeared in her hand, and with a "swish," she slashed through the air.

Before Shangguan Yue could react, he only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, leaving him stunned for a moment.

"Damn it, that hurts! Tsunade, what are you doing? Are you trying to murder your own man?"

Tsunade stared unblinkingly at Shangguan Yue's arm. The arm that had been perfectly fine just a moment ago now bore a deep gash.

However, the bleeding didn't last long before it began to heal slowly. In less than five seconds, it was restored to its original state.

If not for the blood still staining the torn fabric of his sleeve, one would never have known there had been a wound there at all.

Tsunade saw it clearly. She grabbed Shangguan Yue's arm to inspect it closely, and he himself was left dumbfounded.

"Wait, when did my recovery speed become so monstrous? This shouldn't be right!"

Shangguan Yue stared blankly at his log.

"Holy crap, even my Sage Body is at the intermediate level now. No wonder my recovery power has skyrocketed."

Shangguan Yue looked up and met Tsunade's resolute gaze, which then erupted with an intense longing, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.

"Tsu... Tsunade, what do you want! I... I'm still just a kid!!!"

Hearing Shangguan Yue's words, the heat in Tsunade's eyes faded, replaced by an expression of disdain.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that look? If you have the guts, wait a few years for me, and I'll show you how powerful I can be!"

"Tch, little brat."

Tsunade's dismissive, high-and-mighty attitude drove Shangguan Yue crazy.

"You just wait."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll wait for you."

Tsunade then looked at Shangguan Yue with a complex expression, her lips parting as if she wanted to say something but stopping herself, which made his scalp tingle.

"Forget it. Tell me when you're ready to tell me."

Shangguan Yue opened his mouth, but it was indeed difficult to explain things to Tsunade, so he closed it again. Tsunade looked at him and asked seriously.

"Little man, I'll give you one last chance. Are you sure you want to be with me? To be my fiancé?"

Shangguan Yue tilted his head, watching Tsunade's eyelids tremble slightly. She looked nervous, her gaze fixed on his lips.

"Sigh~"

"Are... are you willing?"

Tsunade's voice trembled, her mood sinking as if she might shatter at any moment.

"How could I not be willing? You silly woman. Besides, if I leave you, I won't be able to afford a meal."

Tsunade was overjoyed. "Really?"

"Really... Mmph~"

Shangguan Yue was pulled into a tight embrace by Tsunade, his entire head buried deep into her massive softness. He was swayed back and forth as she held him.

His head felt like a ball, bouncing back and forth. After a long while, Tsunade finally let him go, her eyes filled with guilt as she looked at him.

"But this is so unfair to you. This is my burden to bear."

"If I'm not mistaken, this has to do with the Senju Clan, right?"

"Correct."

"Sigh, although I don't know why your Senju Clan members are so few in number, with me here from now on, I will protect them as they develop on their own."

Seeing Shangguan Yue speak this way, Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing his tone shift with a "however," her heart leaped back into her throat.

"However, Tsunade, you should just be yourself—that overbearing, unbridled version of you. You are the Princess of Konoha, do not bow your head."

"Okay~"

Tsunade felt moved in her heart and hugged Shangguan Yue tightly.

"Yue, these past few years, it has been too difficult for the Senju. Second Granduncle dispersed the majority of the Senju clansmen, integrating them into Konoha."

"The clansmen were already scarce to begin with, and on top of that, various parties made things difficult for us; clansmen who went out on missions would go missing or die under all sorts of circumstances."

"Up to now, what you see are only these members of the new generation. I am called the Princess of Konoha, but I have no real power and can do nothing."

"My talent and strength also fail to reach the level of Granduncle and Second Granduncle; I cannot suppress everything with my own power."

"But I am in pain too, so when I saw your Wood Release, I knew that our Senju Clan was finally saved."

"But this will force you to shoulder responsibilities that should never have been yours."
