It may be because Land of Whirlpools is a small island that was destroyed and there is no perfect information circulation, so the death of Konoha Fourth Hokage has not spread yet.
Although she is addicted to gambling, she is by no means stupid. At this juncture, Senju Chen, with a strange and calm subordinate, came all the way to Land of Whirlpools to find her. It cannot be as simple as "missing my sister".
Senju Chen heard this and put down the tea cup.
He knows that some things cannot be hidden after all.
"Sister, Bro Minato and Sister Kushina..."
His voice deepened, and he told Jiraiya the same story as last time, telling the story of Nine-Tails' Attack.
From Kushina's delivery, Masked Man's raid, to Nine-Tails's rampage, from Uchiha's rescue, to Minato Namikaze and Sister Kushina sacrificed their lives for the village, and then Shimura Danzō took advantage of the chaos to attack and kill Konoha High Command and his family members. After being discovered, they finally failed and defected.
In addition to concealing the preservation of the bodies of Minato and his wife, as well as the subsequent pursuit of Obito and the killing of Madara Uchiha, Senju Chen told Tsunade and Shizune almost everything in detail.
When he heard that Kushina was pierced by Chakra chains in order to suppress Nine-Tails, and Minato used his last strength to seal half of Nine-Tails with his love for the child, Tsunade's eye circles turned red after all.
And Shizune next to her had already burst into tears.
Tsunade drank the wine in the glass suddenly. The spicy liquid burned his throat, but he couldn't suppress the surge of grief in his heart.
"Minato...Kushina... Those two fools..."
Shizune was already crying aside.
The atmosphere in the entire room instantly became heavy and suffocating.
Amid this heaviness, Yamato, who had always been as quiet as a wooden man, silently refilled the empty tea cup in front of Tsunade. Perhaps out of habit, his fingertips moved slightly, and a small flexible wooden strip grew out of thin air. He skillfully held the wine bottle and accurately poured the wine into the cup without any spillage.
Wood Release???
A small trick that is insignificant, but extremely conspicuous at this moment.
The sad atmosphere in the room solidified at this moment.
Tsunade's cry suddenly stopped, and she raised her head suddenly, her red amber eyes, like the sharpest falcon, fixed on the wooden plank that grew out of thin air, and then turned her head to look at Yamato instantly.
"Huh?... This... this is..."
Her voice was trembling, mixed with shock and incredible emotions.
Shizune didn't pay attention to this detail, but as Tsunade was a famous ninja from Shinobi World, she could still tell who released Chakra from Wood Release in this section.
At first he just thought that Yamato was the little follower of Senju Chen, but he didn't expect that this little follower actually used his own Senju Clan's Wood Release???
Yamato's operation was like giving Tsunade an intracranial storm. Could it be that... this little follower also belongs to the Senju Clan???
I want more brothers again???
"Little Chen, who is he..." A terrifying momentum spread out from Tsunade's body unconsciously because of his excitement!
Yamato's face turned pale under the pressure of this momentum, and he subconsciously looked at Senju Chen with a look of help in his eyes.
Senju Chen sighed lightly, stood up, and stood between Yamato and Tsunade. He held Tsunade's hand, which was slightly cold due to excitement.
"Sister, please calm down and sit down first. His name is Yamato, and he is a victim of the original root."
"Victim?" Tsunade asked with a frown, but looked past Senju Chen and locked on Yamato, "How could he Wood Release? Little Chen, tell me, what is going on?"
Could it be that while he was away from the village, the village did some experiments on his younger brother? The one next to him is the product of the experiment?
I don't know if she thought of something, but Tsunade's face was serious, and her aura rose to its peak in an instant.
"No, sister, it has nothing to do with me. I only found out about this after I took over Root." Seeing Tsunade's appearance of going berserk, Senju Chen quickly comforted her.
"Back then, Shimura Danzō frantically implanted his grandfather's cells into sixty babies in order to gain his grandfather's Wood Release power."
"What? How dare he!" Tsunade shook his body as if he was struck by lightning, and the color drained from his face.
Implanting her grandfather Hashirama Senju's cells into babies for experiments? Such a thing that desecrates the deceased and destroys humanity...
"Of the sixty babies, he was the only one who survived in the end." Senju Chen supported Tsunade, with a hint of compassion in his voice, "He has lived in Root since he was a child. He has no name and only one code name, 'A' After that, he was raised as a humanoid weapon in the darkness of Root. It wasn't until Shimura Danzō defected and I took over the Root department that I brought him out of the dark underground and named him 'Tenzo Yamato'."
Every word Senju Chen said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Tsunade's heart hard.
She looked at the dull-faced young man in front of her, with a hint of fear and numbness in his eyes, and could no longer utter a single word of questioning. All her anger was transformed into overwhelming hatred for the dark side of Danzo and Konoha, as well as endless sympathy for the "survivor" in front of her.
She is very aware of how powerful her grandfather is. Injecting her grandfather's cells into a newborn baby is not an experiment, it is completely murder.
"Danzo... that beast!" Tsunade gritted his teeth and dug his nails deeply into his palms, "I really regret... I really regret not crushing every bone of his with my own hands!"
In other words, Shimura Danzō is already dead, otherwise Tsunade would be eager to beat this old bastard Shimura Danzō into the ground.
"He has paid the price for what he did, sister." Senju Chen gently patted her back and comforted her, "Let the past be past. Yamato is now my subordinate and our family. After all, the blood flowing through him is grandpa's blood."
"Family..." Tsunade chewed the word and looked at Yamato's eyes, which finally changed from scrutiny and anger to complex and soft. She thought of her younger brother Nawaki who also died young, and of the countless clan members who died in the war.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, sat down again, picked up the cup of tea that Yamato had refilled for her, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm fine." She said to Senju Chen, as if she was saying to herself, "I've known for a long time that this world is far worse than I imagined. It's so bad."
Senju Chen knows, the heat is almost done.
But he did not take the opportunity to propose that Tsunade return to the village to take over Hokage.
He just poured another cup of tea for Tsunade and said in a relaxed tone as if he was talking about the weather, "Yeah, it sucks. That's why I thought of coming out for some air and relaxing with my sister."
Tsunade raised her eyes and glanced at him, a hint of understanding flashed in the depths of her amber eyes. Of course she knew what kind of medicine her brother was selling when he came to her this time.
Konoha Fourth Minato Namikaze died in the battle, and now the village is leaderless. Shimura Danzō defected inside, and other ninja villages are looking at it. But the next generation is still too young, and among the previous generation, We can't count on that unreliable guy Jiraiya. Orochimaru has become a rebellious nin. The only one who can calm down the situation and restore hope to the villagers is First Hokage's granddaughter.
Can she be allowed to go back and become Hokage?
Tsunade felt a headache when she thought of that bamboo hat. She thought of her dead brother and lover, the intrigues among the higher-ups in the village, and the sacrifice and pain behind that responsibility.
She still subconsciously didn't want to face this matter.
"Relax?" Tsunade suddenly sneered, put the cup heavily on the table, and resumed his cynical look, "Okay! But I can tell you that I have been unlucky recently and owe a lot of debt. I started giving you Senju Clan all my money. As a younger brother, shouldn't you express your gratitude?"
She is pretending to be stupid and changing the subject.
How could Senju Chen not see it?
But he didn't reveal it, instead he showed a bright smile.
"Sister, don't worry, I will help you win back whatever you export, and our restaurant has started to make money now. Although it's not much, your debts are just like drizzle~"
"Hey, you are so confident? You have a conscience! Then what are you waiting for? Let's go, let's go and kill everyone."
Saying that, he pulled Senju Chen towards the casino.
Looking at Tsunade who had regained his vitality, a hint of smile flashed in Senju Chen's heart.
Sister, you can't escape if you run away, but before that, my brother can relax with you.
