Conning Tsunade
Meanwhile, Orochimaru was busy working on his so-called Konoha Crush Plan.
On Feng's side, deciding with his men what to steal while Konoha was in chaos was a trivial matter; a meeting was held and it was resolved in two days.
Then, he only needed to sit back and wait for his subordinates to gather intelligence on the countries he planned to annex;
Waiting for Orochimaru to inform us when the plan will begin;
And to find Tsunade's whereabouts.
But during this waiting period, he didn't just sit on his own turf.
Instead, they arrived at Funfun Street, where the post station was located, not far from Konoha. As for why they didn't go to Tanzaku Street, which was also not far from Konoha but was more bustling?
Haha, the battle in the suburbs not long ago caused a large number of people to flee from Tanzaku Street, and it probably won't recover for several years.
As for why Feng ran to stay not far from Konoha, it was naturally to keep an eye on the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki.
Now that Naruto has graduated from the Ninja Academy, the Naruto storyline has officially begun.
Even if the other party is not in Kakashi's Team 7 as in the original story, but in Kurenai Yūhi's Team 8, Feng believes that as the Child of Prophecy, someone will help Naruto correct his overall trajectory back to the original path.
As Feng expected, the other party did not mention the daily tasks of weeding and catching cats.
Because Gato of the Land of Waves was controlled by Feng Tekka using Genjutsu, he is now just a businessman under Feng Renteng who only knows how to make money. Zabuza at Feng Renteng's hands long ago, and Haku is a newly graduated ninja under Feng Renteng, so he cannot become a role model for Naruto's growth.
However, Team 8 received a mission from the Land of Rivers before the Chunin Ninja Exams.
With the Flying Thunder God Mark engraved on Naruto's body, Feng watched as Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and Raiga's adopted son Ranmaru —a boy who resembled Haku, whose gender was ambiguous but who had a kind heart—were defeated by Naruto unleashed the Nine-Tails Chakra after Hinata was injured and unconscious.
This is practically a carbon copy of the Land of Waves arc.
To make the storyline closer to the original, Feng didn't hesitate to personally play the role of the now-defunct Kirigakure Pursuit Unit, receiving the legacy of the battle: Ranmaru, who possesses the Kekkei Genkai "Red Eye," and Kirigakure's lost Raito Kiba.
Kurenai Yūhi, the Jonin the team, wanted to resist and prevent Feng from taking Ranmaru and Kiba away. However, given the reputation of being part of the Kirigakure Pursuit Unit and the strict orders from the Kirigakure, she had no choice but to give up.
But the good things don't stop there.
Just as things were ending in the Land of Rivers, Feng received more good news from Tsunade in the Land of Hot Water.
Without saying anything more, he turned around and immediately set off for the Land of Hot Water Springs.
"Hey kid, is it you who needs to talk to me about something important?"
Finally, I pray you say it's really important, otherwise... humph! humph!
When Tsunade was seen again, she was still drinking heartily at the Izakaya, but this time she wasn't drunk and didn't need Shizune's care.
"Princess Tsunade, I apologize for bothering you, but I am Uchiha Feng. I have a personal matter I would like to confirm with you."
However, this time Feng did not meet the other party under the alias ' Sekito ', but instead sought out Tsunade as Uchiha Feng.
"Uchiha?"
Hehehe! Hahaha! You, the head of the Uchiha, are still a wanted criminal by Konoha.
They actually came to me, a member of the Senju and one of the legendary Konoha Sannin, to confirm something?
"Heh, Uchiha Feng! Are you sure you haven't picked the wrong person?"
Tsunade was clearly incredulous upon hearing this, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, she burst into laughter and said to Feng.
As for reporting the Uchiha to Konoha?!
Ha! If she really cared about the Konoha old man and those three idiots made of Konoha, she wouldn't have been wandering outside for so many years without ever going back.
"As I said, I'm looking for you in a personal capacity, not Uchiha."
Instead, he came as the grandson of Senju Moriko, a member of the Senju, to ask Hashirama Senju's granddaughter a question.
You might not care, but it's very important to me.
Feng replied with a serious expression.
He seemed serious, as if he really had something important to ask, but in reality, he was preparing to start fooling Tsunade.
The purpose was simple: to create trouble out of nothing, to stall Tsunade and prevent her from encountering the Fourth Raikage A, and saving him.
Secondly, based on the principle of "trying everything even if there's no guarantee of success," they wanted to build closer relations with the other party in advance, making some preparations for the future annexation of Konoha.
Tsunade, upon hearing this, remained silent.
There was a long silence.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
After taking a large gulp of wine, she spoke again:
"Senju Moriko's grandson? Tell me what happened, and then tell me what you wanted to ask."
"First of all, you shouldn't have any doubts about my identity, Uchiha Feng."
"Hehe, of course, who doesn't know the famous Uchiha Clan Head!"
Konoha has posted wanted posters for you all over the Ninja World.
"And I'm not so blind that I can't tell whether you used Transformation Technique or not."
"Well, now that you've confirmed my identity, how much do you know about my background?"
"My background? I have no interest in knowing that kind of thing."
Or are you trying to show off in front of me?!
"Hehe, I don't think anyone in the Ninja World would be stupid enough to dare to flaunt their status in front of you, the dignified Princess Tsunade."
What I want to say is that I am Senju Moriko's grandson.
If you know my background, there are some things I don't need to explain; if you don't, then I need to explain first.
"Enough with the nonsense, just get to the point."
Tsunade couldn't help but retort.
Upon hearing this, Feng remained calm and unhurried, and slowly spoke:
"Okay, my name is now Uchiha Feng, you know that."
Back in Konoha, I was called Feng, just like you, and I wasn't Uchiha.
As for the reason, it's because my mother is from the Uzumaki, and my grandmother is from the Senju, specifically the Senju Moriko I just mentioned."
'No more rambling? No more nonsense? That wouldn't be good to keep a dignified Tsunade here, or to drag things out any longer.' Feng said, thinking to himself.
"Then what?"
"When I was a child, my grandfather, mother, brother and uncle all passed away. Only one aunt married far away and has not been heard from since. Her whereabouts are still unknown."
Later, on the Nine-Tails Night, my father and grandmother also died.
It's fair to say that, apart from the Uchiha clan members, I am now all alone, just like you.
But recently I remembered that my grandmother once told me that she still had relatives in the Senju.
In other words, I may not be all alone; I might have relatives I've never met on my grandmother's side.
But I don't know or recognize a single member of the Senju, so even if I wanted to find someone, I wouldn't know where to start.
Then, I thought of you, Princess Tsunade of the Senju!
Now, as the grandson of Senju Moriko, I would like to ask the princess of the Senju to help me find out if I have any living relatives in the Senju.
I...! I don't want to be all alone, I don't want to live in this world without anyone to rely on.
At this point, Feng repeatedly wiped his eyes with his hands, which had been coated with tear gas beforehand, making it appear as if he were crying bitterly.
It can only be said that he made a considerable sacrifice in order to secretly kill the Fourth Raikage without bloodshed.
"... call!
The Senju disbanded back when my great-grandfather was the Hokage, and completely assimilated into Konoha.
It would be very difficult to find members of the Senju clan from your grandmother's generation today.
However, I can send a message back to Konoha and ask some of the elders guarding the clan's territory to inquire and search. Perhaps they will find some clues, but you shouldn't have too high hopes.
By the way, besides your grandma's name being Senju Moriko, do you know what your grandma's relatives are called?
Knowing the name would make it much easier to find out.
Seeing Feng with tears streaming down his face, Tsunade seemed to be touched as well. She silently took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke with a hint of reminiscence in her voice.
I didn't promise anything, but I was willing to try to help.
