But at this time, Senju Chen changed the subject when he heard Tsunade.
"However, in the past six months or so, we have played through most of Shinobi World. As we played, I sometimes suddenly thought that no matter how old Shinobi World is, we can finish shopping in one day, but how long can I escape?"
She was silent for a moment and suddenly sighed, "Grandpa established Konoha so that children can grow up in a peaceful environment. And Minato gave his life to protect this village."
"As the descendants of the Senju Clan, and I as the granddaughter of First Hokage, can we really just hide outside like this and watch Konoha sway in the wind and rain without caring about it?"
Tsunade turned his head and looked at Senju Chen. There was no impurity in those clear eyes.
She suddenly laughed, her smile was wanton and free.
"Let's go, Little Chen, pack your luggage! There's nothing fun here Land of Hot Water, let's go to the next place!"
"Where are you going, sister?" Senju Chen asked.
"Return to Konoha!" Tsunade's eyes flashed with a sharp edge.
"It's time to go back after being out for so long."
The gate of Konoha finally appeared at the end of the line of sight.
One year is neither long nor short, but for Konoha at this moment, the world behind this gate has already changed.
Senju Chen stopped and looked sideways at Tsunade beside him.
At this time, Tsunade took off the casual clothes that were slightly casual during the trip and put on a dark green long windbreaker. Her iconic long golden hair was tied up neatly and was no longer as messy as it was in the casino before.. She turned her back to the setting sun, and the sunlight outlined her graceful but powerful outline. In her amber eyes, there was less of the decadence of a three-point gambler and more of the awe of being "Senju Clan" and "Sannin".
She didn't speak, she just looked at the familiar village gate quietly, her slender fingers subconsciously caressing the corners of her windbreaker, applying slight pressure on her fingertips.
"Let's go."
She took steps, each step was steady and powerful, as if announcing the return of the king.
Konoha port.
The two Chunin on duty were leaning against the wall boredly, holding grass roots in their mouths, discussing which pub to go to for a drink tonight.
"Hey, look over there." One of them, Chunin, poked his companion with his elbow and looked at the road in the distance with a confused look, "It seems like a few people are coming."
"Tch, they must be wandering ninjas or caravans from somewhere. I didn't look at them." The companion replied lazily, without even raising his head.
However, as those figures gradually approached, there was an inexplicable and palpitating sense of oppression in the air.
The two Chunin stood up straight subconsciously, clenched the Kunai in their hands unconsciously, and their eyes instantly became alert.
"Stop! This is..."
Before the Chunin finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat.
Because he saw it clearly.
The woman walking at the front had dazzling long golden hair, that face, and those eyes, which are unforgettable even on the monument to the heroes of Konoha and in the word-of-mouth of countless old ninjas.
The setting sun shone on her face, her iconic eyebrows, and her innate arrogance instantly shattered the psychological defenses of all the gatekeepers.
"Tsuna...Tsunade... sama?"
The voice of Chunin was trembling so much that it sounded particularly harsh in the silent village entrance.
"Yes... it's Lady Tsunade!!"
Another Chunin reacted, let out a heart-rending scream, and rushed towards the sentry alarm bell while crawling on the ground.
"Lady Tsunade is back! Hurry! Go to the Hokage building to notify! Lady Tsunade is back!!"
His voice broke due to extreme shock and ecstasy, echoing at the entrance of the village, alarming the working civilians around, alarming the patrolling Anbu, and also alarmed the entire Konoha.
Senju Chen followed behind Tsunade, with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth and his eyes calmly scanning the surroundings.
He saw it.
I saw the initial confusion in the eyes of the civilians change to disbelief and finally to fanatical worship.
I saw the ninjas passing by. The moment they saw Tsunade, they all stopped and straightened their backs subconsciously, with a light called "hope" in their eyes.
This is the reputation of First Hokage Hashirama Senju's biological granddaughter, Land of Fire's own princess, one of Konoha Sannin's sisters, Tsunade.
The instant news was like a plague, spreading within Konoha at a terrifying speed.
"Have you heard? Lady Tsunade is back!"
"Really? Princess Tsunade is back?"
"Great... the village is finally saved!"
"Let's go to the entrance of the village and have a look."
"Princess Tsunade, is my Princess Tsunade back?"
"What's your Princess Tsunade, it's my Princess Tsunade."
"I'm going to duel with you. Whoever wins, Princess Tsunade will be his!"
"..."
The Konohas, who were originally in turmoil due to the high-level power turmoil and panic after Nine-Tails' Attack and Fourth Hokage died in battle, seemed to have received a shot in the arm at this moment.
Tsunade walked along the way, without deliberately saying hello, nor showing any friendly gestures. She just calmly Earth Flow looked straight ahead. But wherever she passed, everyone spontaneously gave way to a way.
That kind of awe and expectation from the heart makes Senju Chen walking beside Tsunade feel proud!
"It seems that my sister's reputation in the village is higher than I thought." Senju Chen chuckled softly beside Tsunade, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Even after being away for so long, the love and respect of the villagers of Konoha for my sister has not diminished at all."
Tsunade glanced sideways at him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an extremely rare and somewhat arrogant smile, "That's natural. After all, I am Tsunade."
Although he said arrogant words, Senju Chen could feel that Tsunade's shoulders, which were slightly stiff due to tension, finally relaxed completely at this moment.
She felt it.
She felt the village's longing for her, and felt the countless eyes cast on her, full of dependence and expectation.
At this moment, she was no longer the gambler escaping pain, but a member of Konoha, an integral part of this land.
"Lady Tsunade!"
A slightly older voice sounded.
The crowd parted, and an old Jonin with gray hair and wearing Konoha Forehead Protector walked over quickly. His eyes were full of excitement, and his eyes were even red because of his excessive emotion.
"Lady Tsunade, you... you are finally back." Old Jonin bowed deeply, his voice choked with sobs, "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back..."
Tsunade stopped and looked at the veteran who had fought side by side on the battlefield, her eyes softened a lot. She stretched out her hand and patted the other person's shoulder. Although the movement was rough, it conveyed a reassuring power.
"Thank you for your hard work. I have heard about the situation in the village."
Her voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone around her clearly.
"I, Tsunade, am back."
These few simple words, without any heroic words, were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of every Konoha citizen.
Those civilians who had previously frowned due to the turmoil of Konoha, now had tears glistening in their eyes.
Senju Chen stood aside and watched this scene quietly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old fox should be on pins and needles in Hokage's Office now, right?
I guess this old man didn't expect that he could bring Tsunade back so quickly.
"Let's go, sister." Senju Chen stepped forward at the right time and said softly, "Go to the Hokage building, there are many 'old friends' waiting for you there."
As Tsunade and his group walked towards the Hokage building, the surrounding villagers and ninjas did not disperse, but followed them spontaneously.
They all believed from the bottom of their hearts that as long as they followed Princess Tsunade and as long as she was here, Konoha would not fall.
