Konoha, Senju Estate.
Tsunade sat cross-legged in front of the long table in the main hall, with several core members of the Women's Mutual Aid Association sitting on the left and right sides.
Yamanaka Sora, Ria Nara, Lola Akimichi, Yuri Inuzuka, Hoshina Hyuga, Ichika Aburame, Uchiha Mikoto sit at the end.
Tea has been brewed for two rounds, and the snacks on the table have been removed.
The topic ranged from parenting to the recent trends of each family, and gradually converged to business matters.
Tsunade put down the tea cup and tapped his fingertips twice on the table.
Everyone fell silent and focused their attention on her.
"I have something to discuss with you." Tsunade said, "I plan to expand our Konoha Women's Mutual Aid Association to the entire Shinobi World."
The room was quiet for two seconds.
Yamanaka Sora was the first to react. "You mean... covering other countries?"
"Yes."
Tsunade leaned on the back of the chair.
"Now Shinobi World has been unified. Five Great Nations and the surrounding small countries have all been merged into the Konoha Shinobi World Alliance, but this is only a surrender by force."
"The hearts of the shinobi and female relatives in each village have not really been united yet."
She looked around:
"The daimyo's wives, the wives of the heads of the ninja clans, and the powerful female relatives, they are all watching now."
"Watch and see what Konoha will do next, whether they will liquidate, exclude, or suppress them."
Tsunade paused and said:
"I want them to know that Konoha does not exclude them."
"As long as they are willing to join the system here, they and their families will be protected."
Ria Nara narrowed his eyes slightly. "You want to use a woman's hands to tie those men to Konoha's car."
Tsunade curled his lips:
"Part of it."
"More importantly, it is to give Shinobi World displaced women and orphans a way to survive."
"The war is over, but there are still many people living in the ruins."
"We need someone to help them."
After a moment of silence, Lola Akimichi raised his hand first:
"I agree. Anyway, this is what our mutual aid association is supposed to do. Expanding to Shinobi World is nothing more than transforming a village into a global phenomenon."
Yuri Inuzuka also nodded. "I can help anyone who can."
Hoshina Hyuga said softly, "I support Lady Tsunade."
Ichika Aburame didn't say much, just nodded quietly.
Tsunade finalizes:
"Then it's settled."
"Konoha Women's Mutual Aid Association, upgraded to Shinobi World Women's Mutual Aid Association from today."
"The headquarters is located in Konoha, and branches are spread to all major ninja villages in Five Great Nations. You guys will take the lead and unite with the local influential female relatives."
Her tone lowered:
"The wives of clan leaders from various countries, the concubines of daimyo, and the widows with information and assets are all brought in."
"When they report the news, Konoha will take the order. If they are in trouble, Konoha will send someone."
"As time goes by, they will naturally know whose flag they follow to live a good life."
The news spread much faster than Tsunade expected.
In less than a month, Land of Lightning Cloud's new Mrs. Raikage took the lead in expressing her willingness to join Shinobi World Women's Mutual Aid Association.
She is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family originally named Land of Lightning. She has been keeping a low profile since marrying into the Raikage family.
But privately, he is in charge of more than half of Cloud's logistical supplies.
Her joining directly led Land of Lightning family members of more than a dozen small and medium-sized ninja clans to follow suit.
Land of Water receives it more smoothly over there.
After Kirigakure's reform, the new leadership team urgently needs Konoha's support to stabilize internal opposition forces.
Land of Water Dai Mingchao personally wrote to Tsunade.
He sincerely expressed his hope to select several female officers from the Konoha Mutual Aid Association to guide the establishment of branches.
Land of Earth Ōnoki's wife sent a letter to her the next day, saying she wanted to register as a member.
Land of Wind was led by monk Bunpuku, and the remaining female relatives of Sunagakure also sent signals one after another.
Tsunade was sitting in Hokage's office, looking at the thick stack of membership registration lists on the table, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Yamanaka Sora sat opposite, with unconcealed emotion in his voice:
"Lady Tsunade, you are using a group of women to tie the entire Shinobi World together."
Tsunade turned over a page of the roster without looking up:
"Whether it can be tied down or not depends on how it is managed in the future."
"But now, at least no one can easily lift this flag."
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Tsunade Close the roster.
The door was pushed open, and the young man who came in made Tsunade's eyes light up.
Nagato was wearing a clean Uzumaki Clan suit with white background and blue stripes. His red hair was tied neatly behind his head, revealing his thin face.
Without the rippled pupils of Rinnegan, it looks particularly refreshing.
He has grown much taller than he did a few months ago, his back is straight and his steps are steady.
Behind him was Yahiko, who had his orange hair cut short. He poked his head at the door and grinned when he saw Tsunade.
"Lord Hokage."
Nagato spoke, and his voice had lost its original dryness and was now clear and clear as a young man's.
"Uzumaki's household registration has been completed. Master Yui asked me to report to you."
"How are your eyes adapting?" Tsunade asked him.
Nagato nodded:
"It's very good. I can see clearly, I'm not tired, and I don't have the feeling of being distracted like before."
He paused and his voice became lower:
"Master... thank you."
Tsunade didn't answer the question and just nodded:
"Just get used to it. If you have any questions, come to me anytime."
She turned to look at Yahiko at the door:
"What about you? Guard Corps How are you over there?"
Yahiko straightened his chest:
"Hokage's Personal Guard Team Three has been incorporated into the team led by captain Minato!"
There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
"Not bad."
Tsunade looked towards the end of the corridor again. A girl with light blue hair was standing there, looking this way with some restraint.
Konan.
She was wearing a clean light-colored kimono, her hair was neatly combed, and she had a Konoha Women's Mutual Aid Association badge tied around her waist.
Tsunade waved to her. "What are you doing standing so far away? Come in."
Konan pursed his lips, walked in, and stood next to Nagato.
She took out a scroll from the cloth bag in her arms and handed it to Tsunade with both hands:
"This is the registration list sent to me by some aunts from Land of Rain. They said... they also want to join."
Tsunade took the scroll, unfolded it and took a look.
There are more than a dozen names written on it. The ink is still very new and the handwriting is a little crooked.
It can be seen that someone who just learned to write wrote it stroke by stroke.
She put the scroll away and looked up at the three young men in front of her, feeling dazed for a moment.
From Land of Rain the three little beggars in the ruined temple to the three people standing in front of her now.
The changes are so fast that it seems unreal.
"Konan," Tsunade said, "Women's Mutual Aid Association's affairs will require your help in the future."
Konan's eyes lit up slightly, and his voice was soft but serious:
"I can do anything."
Tsunade looked at her with a rare smile:
"No rush, let's start by understanding this organization."
"In a few days, Mrs. Jingkong will take you to visit the contact points of various ministries. You can follow them first and learn to memorize them."
"If you don't understand, just ask, no one will bother you."
Konan nodded vigorously and gently held the badge with his fingertips.
"Okay, let's go get busy."
Tsunade waved his hand.
Everyone left one after another.
Tsunade pinched his chin slightly.
Now she has just taken over as Hokage. Although the women have felt the benefits, others cannot forget it.
You have to create some benefits.
"What's good..."
Tsunade's eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, then Seven Swords!"
