After the words fell, Shizune took a sharp breath and covered his mouth, his eyes full of horror.
There is no need to stay!
When these words came out of Senju Chen's mouth, their weight was far heavier than a simple "betray the village".
That means Senju Clan will make a complete break with the village they built with their own hands.
Tsunade was also stunned. She looked directly at her brother. For the first time, an emotion called "strangeness" appeared in her beautiful amber eyes.
She knew that her brother never spoke empty words.
Underneath his seemingly gentle appearance, he is actually more proud and decisive than anyone else.
If Shimura Danzō, the madman who does anything for power, really gets on board with Hokage Position, with his coveting and fear of the Senju Clan and their siblings, he will definitely use all dark means to deal with them.
Either it becomes the best knife in his hand, or it completely disappears from this world.
This is how Shimura Danzō behaves.
At that time, leaving may be their only and best choice.
The teahouse fell into deathly silence again.
After a long time, Tsunade suddenly spoke, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
"Little Chen, you leave now and go back to Konoha."
"What?" Shizune exclaimed. She stood up suddenly and looked at Tsunade in disbelief, "Lady Tsunade! The village is in such chaos now. Lord Third has just abdicated. All forces are competing. Let Little Chen go back now...!"
Senju Chen was also startled. He raised his head and looked into Tsunade's extremely serious eyes. "Sister? Why?"
"Listen to what I have to say." Tsunade waved his hand and motioned for Shizune to sit down. Her eyes were always locked on Senju Chen's face, never moving away.
"I can't go back at this time."
"My identity is too sensitive. War hero, Konoha Sannin, Land of Fire princess... These titles are honors in normal times, but now, if I go back, whether I want to or not, I will be immediately involved in Hokage Position's fight for Uzumaki. Those people hiding in the dark are eager for me to go back and muddy the water so that they can fish in troubled waters."
She twitched her lips in a self-deprecating tone, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, the cold tea sliding down her throat.
"I don't want to give the old man... nor anyone an excuse to say that I, Tsunade, took advantage of the turmoil in the village to come back and rob Hokage Position."
"Besides, I stay outside and have more important things to deal with. Regarding the issue of... the blood in your body, I have to find some clues and need to go to some places to confirm."
Uchiha Bloodline!
This was a lie he made casually in order to rationalize his opening of Sharingan. Unexpectedly, his sister kept it firmly in mind and even regarded it as his first priority in staying outside the village.
A trace of warmth flowed quietly in his heart.
"But..." He wanted to say something else.
"No but!" Tsunade's tone suddenly became tough. "You must go back! Now in the village, there are still many old people who support us Senju Faction. When Third was in power, they did not dare to move. Now Third When abdicates and there is a vacuum of power, those people will inevitably have some thoughts that they shouldn't have. When you go back, you are going to use my name to suppress them! Tell them that there are still people in the Senju Clan! Don't let them be used as weapons and do something stupid!"
"You are the future patriarch of the Senju Clan, and this is your responsibility! You must go back!"
Tsunade's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Senju Chen's heart hard.
He instantly understood all his sister's intentions.
Asking him to go back does not really mean asking him to fight for power, or even asking him to "take sides."
Instead, let him "stand" there.
Just standing there, as the representative of the Senju Clan, quietly watching the fight between Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru.
Whoever wins, he will take the entire power and reputation of Senju and throw it at him.
Use this merit from the dragon to exchange for the greatest goodwill and support of the new Hokage in the future.
And since he has the surname Senju, he must also shoulder this responsibility. Tsunade is the one who asked him to go back and "watch" Senju Faction, so don't be tricked to death by someone with malicious intentions.
And he, Senju Chen, will represent the entire Senju Clan for the first time, truly stand at the center of the political stage of Konoha, and prepare for the future Hokage Position.
This is the most critical move.
He looked at the unquestionable determination and deep expectation in Tsunade's eyes, and then looked at Shizune next to him, whose face was full of worry and reluctance.
Senju Chen stood up slowly and said solemnly to Tsunade.
"I understand, sister."
"I'll leave now."
Looking at the boy's upright posture and serious face, Tsunade's tense face finally relaxed, revealing a smile of relief. She stretched out her hand, trying to rub his hair like she did when she was a child. Halfway through, she suddenly changed direction and slapped him heavily on the shoulder.
"You brat, you have really grown up." Her eyes were a little red, but she forced a grin, showing her white teeth, "Remember, in the village, don't embarrass me! If anyone dares to bully you in a weird way, you will have his legs broken! If the sky falls, your sister will hold me up!"
"Yes." Senju Chen nodded heavily, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows.
This is his sister.
"Little Chen..." Shizune on the side had tears in her eyes, and the little pig Tonton in her arms also hummed and hugged her, as if feeling the sadness of parting.
She stepped forward quickly, took out a medical bag that she had sewn extremely delicately from her arms, and stuffed it into Senju Chen's hand.
"On the road... you must be careful on the road. The village... is definitely different now than when we left. There are special military pills and several powerful antidotes in case... in case..."
She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was already obvious.
"Don't worry, Sister Shizune." Senju Chen took the medical bag, which was heavy and full of heart. He showed her a comforting smile and pinched Tonton's little nose.
"Take good care of your sister, especially her wallet. Don't let her lose everything as soon as she enters the casino. You will have to redeem her back then."
"Yeah!" Shizune nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes, making him want to laugh again.
The decision came suddenly, and the parting was right before our eyes.
Senju Chen is not a sloppy person.
Under the gaze of Tsunade and Shizune, he turned and left the teahouse without looking back.
The figure disappeared into the bustling street corner of the small town. Senju Chen's figure flew past the official road at high speed, leaving the small town behind.
The leisurely days of sightseeing and sightseeing are over.
Konoha, I'm back again...
