The Senju Clan Compound.
As the sun slowly slid towards the horizon, Mito Uzumaki, who had recently led several Senju Clan Members Uzumaki reset the barrier, walked on her way home.
Looking at the sky dyed golden by the setting sun, I thought of the news coming from home and the people waiting for me.
She felt a slight resentment towards Risa, but couldn't help but sigh.
If her daughter had told Tsunade everything beforehand, none of this would have happened.
Now, this is troublesome!
It's not just about making Tsunade understand the truth; we also need to show our allies Tsunade's stance!
Following the Stone Slab path within the clan compound, Mito Uzumaki, accompanied by several servants, entered the familiar manor.
Inside the gate, on the outer corridor of the only way through.
Upon seeing a woman in her early twenties, dressed in a white kimono, with her red hair tied in a bun and wearing a crown-like ornament, leading a group of people through the gate.
A young woman with black hair, who had been waiting on the outer veranda for a long time, stood up, bowed, and said, "Mother, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"
Looking at the black-haired young woman who was bowing and asking questions, after confirming that she hadn't changed much...
Mito Uzumaki waved for him to get up, then continued walking along the outer corridor into the manor without stopping.
As I passed the young woman, she gave a soft snort and said without stopping, "You're Tenten causing me trouble, how can I possibly be happy?"
Upon hearing the answer, I looked at the mother who walked past me, who appeared to be in her early twenties and had no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Risa Senju followed closely behind him, smiling as she said, "My mother's situation in her fiefdom was a bit complicated at the time, so I thought I'd wait until Tsunade returned before telling her the details."
"However, the grandson-in-law you chose has quite a temper; he put Tsunade under house arrest without warning."
"Even I can't go inside, so I've been stuck here on the veranda sun all afternoon!"
When the incident first occurred in Konoha, she received the intelligence.
Some miscellaneous matters also happened within the fiefdom.
So he looked at his daughter, who spent all day cultivating with her two disciples from the Third.
To avoid any further complications, she did not tell her daughter the truth.
She never expected that such a thing would happen so soon after she returned to the village.
Listening to her daughter's explanations and complaints, Mito Uzumaki glanced at her and said irritably, "Good job sunbathing! Look how fat you've gotten, staying in your fiefdom all Tenten."
"You despise your own daughter, yet you have the nerve to say the situation is complicated. At the end of the day, aren't you just trying to avoid trouble and be lazy?"
"If you don't explain yourself clearly, you dare to let her out to play after returning to the village without bringing her home. And you have the nerve to complain about Uka's bad temper?"
After saying that, she walked away quickly, looking very disgusted.
It seems that if you slow down even a little, you'll pick up the laziness of the person behind you.
Hearing her long-lost mother say this, Risa Senju felt extremely resentful and began to mutter to herself.
Complaining about your daughter being troublesome—isn't that something you learned from?
You're talking as if you don't mind me.
Besides, am I considered fat at 165cm tall and 120kg?
This is called just right, this is called full-figured, you know that?!
Despite this thought, she unconsciously pinched her stomach with her hand on her abdomen.
Feeling the texture on her hands and looking at her mother in front of her—a woman with fair skin, a tall figure, and not an ounce of fat around her waist—she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, she quickly regained her confidence.
My mother acted that way because of that Ninjutsu. If I were to learn that Ninjutsu, I could definitely be like her.
Thinking of the effects of her mother's self-created Ninjutsu, she couldn't help but resent her father for not allowing her to practice.
Ignoring her daughter's various thoughts behind her, Mito Uzumaki walked straight to the living room where she had last met Uka.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the Senju Clan Members who had brought Tsunade back with them on either side of the gate bowed and said, "Greetings, Lady Mito!"
Nodding to the two of them, Mito Uzumaki said softly, "No need for formalities. I'll handle Tsunade's situation. You can go back and report!"
"Yes, sir!" The two guards responded and turned to leave the manor.
"Crunch!"
The sound of the wooden door hinges turning startled the Sleeping Person, and then the person outside came in.
Looking at the blonde girl lying on the tatami mat, covered with a thin blanket and with her eyes half-closed in sleep, Mito Uzumaki showed a smile she hadn't even shown when she saw her own daughter.
Seeing her mother's expression, Risa Senju pursed her lips, silently closed the bedroom door, and turned to sit down on the recliner in the corner of the living room to rest.
"Grandma~!" The person who woke up in bed saw Mito and quickly sat up, saying with a somewhat aggrieved expression, " Uka and the others tried to kill my companions, I just wanted to stop them, I didn't do anything wrong!"
" Uka locked me up all afternoon, wouldn't let me go out, wouldn't give me any food, and he yelled at me. He was also flirting with that Inuzuka Clan classmate."
"Grandma, I don't want to marry him!"
Seeing her aggrieved granddaughter, Mito Uzumaki quickly went over and hugged her.
She gently patted Tsunade's back as she sat on the tatami mat, softly comforting her, "Don't feel wronged, don't feel wronged. You still dare to misbehave outside even with little Tsunade by your side. Grandma will teach him a lesson another day."
"About what happened today, you did nothing wrong, he did nothing wrong, the fault lies entirely with your mother!"
"It's all her fault for not telling Tsunade the truth, which is why you're grounded today."
"Don't worry, Grandma will deal with her another day!"
Upon hearing this, Risa Senju was in the corner, habitually placed her right arm on the table, then rubbed her temples with a speechless expression.
It all comes down to bad luck.
Thinking about this, she finally regretted not telling Tsunade the truth earlier because she was afraid of the trouble!
Sigh, it's Jiyu General Ziyu's wife's fault. Why does she always invite me to play cards?
However, my main purpose in going there was to secure the Clan's trade routes in the South.
Playing cards was just a side thing.
Tsunade, who had snuggled into her grandmother's arms to complain, heard Mito Uzumaki say that Uka's decision to place her under house arrest was the right one.
Her heart skipped a beat.
After being brought back, based on the attitude of her tribe and the information she knew beforehand.
She then sensed that something was wrong.
Now, her grandmother's words confirmed her suspicions.
It seems the conflict between the teacher and the Clan is more than just a simple disagreement.
Furthermore, there may be problems with Senju Toka's sudden appointment as clan leader and her marriage!
Thinking of this, Tsunade, who had just been feeling wronged and complaining, couldn't help but sit up.
Looking at the person opposite him who had always doted on him since childhood.
She asked with some confusion, "What exactly happened at Grandma's house?"
Upon hearing her granddaughter's question, Mito Uzumaki let out a long sigh.
She took a Scroll from her sleeve and handed it to her granddaughter.
Taking the Scroll, Tsunade quickly laid it out on the table and carefully examined the cause and effect of the matter.
