Hearing Xia Yu's words, Shikaku Nara propped his chin on his hand in thought.
"That's a good proposal. If Konoha had the Uzumaki Clan's power supporting it, its position as the foremost ninja village would be even more secure."
Tsunade had not considered that aspect at all. Her mind was filled with Xia Yu right now; how could she bear to let him leave?
"You're going on a work trip? I don't agree! We can leave the job of finding members of the Uzumaki Clan to someone else!"
Xia Yu smiled and reassured her.
"I'm now serving as the village's senior advisor, and I'm also a member of the Uchiha Clan, one of Konoha's founding clans. There's no one more suitable than me to personally recruit the Uzumaki Clan. Tsunade, be good. Everything I'm doing is for our Konoha's sake..."
"But...!"
"All right..." Xia Yu walked over to Tsunade, gently stroked her belly, and whispered in her ear.
"I guarantee you're already carrying a little one who combines the powers of the Uchiha and Senju. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back..."
"What if I'm not pregnant? Who can say for sure with something like this?" Tsunade refused to give up. She really did not want Xia Yu to leave.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely get pregnant. Otherwise, all our hard work these past few days would have been for nothing."
"But I don't think we've worked hard enough. If you really have to go, can you leave a little later? At least wait until we confirm I'm pregnant. It won't be too late to leave then..."
Seeing how insistent Tsunade was, Xia Yu naturally did not refuse.
And so, Xia Yu and Tsunade put in overtime, spending another week working to revive the clan...
