Within the Senju Clan compound, Tobirama Senju gently set little Tsunade down and gestured for her to go inside first.

Little Tsunade looked utterly unwilling and muttered, "Second Grandpa, you always have little secrets with Ying and never tell Tsunade. Hmph!" With that, she turned and ran into the house, throwing herself into Mito Uzumaki's arms.
