The proposal passed

Both the head of the Yamanaka and Akimichi Clan looked at the head of the Nara Clan.

"The Nara Clan also agreed. Although it can't directly help in the current war, it's for the sake of Konoha's Future, and it will give the Ninja on the Frontline peace of mind."

"Since that's the case, the Yamanaka Clan has also agreed to contribute money."

"The Akimichi Clan also agrees."

"The Aburame Clan will also support the Village," the Aburame Clan Leader said, adjusting her sunglasses.

"Although I don't know the specifics, the Inuzuka Clan has agreed!"

As the Great Families raised their hands to vote, the meeting room soon erupted with noisy voices of support.

Eiji was somewhat taken aback. "You've already agreed?"

What did you mean by pretending to be mute? Was it something you planned?

Seeing the reactions of the Great Families, Tsunade's mood immediately improved, and her gaze towards Eiji softened even more.

"But... in the end, we haven't been able to solve the problem of the Sand Village ninjas on the front lines, have we? If only we could come up with an effective solution..."

Some smaller families still felt that this wouldn't help them win the war or solve any real problems; if they lost, they might even lose money.

So even though most people agreed, they still forced themselves to speak.

Since things had come to this point, Eiji felt he might as well give everyone more confidence. So, after a moment's thought, he said, "If you're worried about the Sunagakure Village, I'll go to the Land of Rain with Tsunade- sensei. Things will be resolved soon."

Eiji spoke in a very flat tone, as if he were talking about something trivial.

However, these words immediately made everyone present look serious. After all, Eiji's strength when he fought the Third Raikage was undeniable. To be honest, they had always thought that if Eiji could go to the battlefield, then all the problems would be solved.

Now that Eiji has said this, those small families who were previously hesitant immediately cleared their eyes and wholeheartedly agreed to contribute money.

What more can be said? Eiji goes to the Frontline, the war will definitely be won. If the war is won, the reparations from the defeated Village will be obtained. At that time, these money can be recovered with interest, making it a sure thing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi the bridge of his nose. He had only wanted Eiji to show his face in advance and gain experience by attending the Village Leadership meetings, but he hadn't expected the Great Families to be so accommodating.

Eiji's decision to go to the battlefield was causing him some worry. He would be heartbroken if his precious Kekkei Genkai were damaged on the battlefield.

However, since the words had already been spoken, it wouldn't be good for him to stop him now. Considering the pressure on the Frontline and Eiji's combat strength, Eiji's absolute Dojutsu called "Limitless" allowed him to remain unscathed from the Third Raikage's attacks, so dealing with the Ninja of Sunagakure and Iwagakure would be more than enough.

Now Hiruzen Sarutobi doubted that even the Third Kazekage, hailed as the strongest in Sunagakure, or Ōnoki from Iwagakure, would be helpless against Eiji, so he stopped hesitating.

"Since everyone unanimously supports this proposal, the motion regarding Tsunade's allocation of funds to train Medical Ninja and purchase Advanced Medical Equipment is hereby approved."

◇

The meeting concluded, Tsunade led Eiji out of the Hokage Office Building.

"I'm sorry, this was just wishful thinking on my part, and it ended up making it so that you, Eiji, have to go to the Frontline."

Tsunade looked at Eiji's face and said with a guilty tone.

I owe Eiji again. I keep owing him, and I really don't know how I can ever repay him.

Moreover, she still harbored those kinds of feelings for Eiji. The thought of always using Eiji as a side dish before bed made Tsunade feel utterly humiliated.

"It's alright. I've always wanted to go to the Frontline anyway, so this is just a good opportunity."

Eiji shrugged, looking indifferent.

Tsunade was speechless upon hearing this; she realized that this kid was different from most people.

Most people don't want to go to the Frontline to die, but Eiji wants to go Frontline and dominate the weak.

Her guilt instantly lessened considerably; this kind of brat should be thoroughly dealt with as a side dish.

"Lady Tsunade."

Just then, a voice came from behind. Tsunade turned around and saw it was Dan Katō, who had supported her at the meeting.

"Lady Tsunade, I found this proposal very meaningful, and I'm so glad it was approved." Tsunade smiled and said, "Thank you for supporting me at the meeting. It seems there are still discerning people out there."

Kato Dan Tsunade, and his willingness to take sides at the meeting demonstrated his determination.

However, Tsunade's mind wasn't on that right now; she was still thinking about how to repay Eiji.

If, if Kushina agreed, I could become Eiji's concubine... No, that's such a strange thought!

She was Princess Tsunade, the granddaughter of the God of Shinobi, and Eiji was her disciple. It would be too shameful for a master to be a concubine to her disciple!

"Alright kid, let's celebrate at the Ancestral Home tonight to mark the approval of the proposal!"

To conceal her emotions, Tsunade raised her voice.

However, seeing Eiji looking at her with a probing gaze, Tsunade frowned. "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing. Grandma Mito said that Tsunade didn't pass the Bride Training, so she probably can't even cook."

Tsunade immediately blushed. "Of course I can cook, it's just that your cooking is better, that's why I don't cook...! What's with that suspicious look?"

"Alright, now come back with me right now!"

Watching Tsunade drag Eiji further and further away, Dan Katō wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

He had long admired Tsunade, and this time he took the initiative to express his feelings to Tsunade.

Unfortunately, I was too insignificant to be of any help.

In contrast, her disciple, Ryuuzaki Eiji, could immediately change the attitude of a clan Clan Leader with just a few words—an influence that Ryuzaki lacked.

The Senju Ancestral Home was not a place he was qualified to enter. Realizing the vast difference in Tsunade status, he began to waver. Was it really impossible?

When this thought came to him, he felt that he had lost something, but at the same time he had gained something more important; it was a strange feeling.

◇

Because the Village decided to allocate funds to establish Medical Team, Tsunade decided to stay in Konoha for a while.

Since she would have to return to the Frontline to provide support and wouldn't be able to stay in the Village for long, she adopted Eiji's suggestion to select a few talented Ninja and conduct Crash Course.

After she leaves Konoha, these people will lead the new recruits in their studies, and after the war ends, Tsunade will lead the classes for systematic instruction.

Eiji gradually built up his own faction. The Ninja who had their thighs and arms healed by Eiji on the Frontline began to idolize Eiji and quietly formed a force in the Village that even Eiji himself didn't notice.

Kushina, meanwhile, diligently studied the knowledge required for her Bride Training alongside Mito Uzumaki.
