"Long time no see. You look like you're doing well, getting even more fair and radiant."
Tsunade smiled at Uya, casually walked over and sat down, glanced around, and said, "Isn't Kushina here?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the door was pushed open again, and Kushina walked in with a smile, carrying a teapot and teacups.
"Since Lady Tsunade is here, I will definitely give her a proper welcome."
"Stop being so cheeky, you two."
Tsunade twitched slightly, and she rolled her eyes at Uya and Kushina for teaming up to tease her.
Kushina placed the teapot on the table, then walked straight to Tsunade's side, smiling as she said, "To be honest, I was quite worried about you, Tsunade. I've been wanting to go to Konoha to see you."
Kushina didn't care much about the Third Shinobi World War. She had experienced the Second Shinobi World War and the destruction of her village, so she had witnessed too many things.
However, she still cared about Tsunade a lot because Tsunade had always been very good to her and they got along very well. Tsunade was like an older sister to both her and Uya.
"What's there to worry about? All we'll be doing is treating the wounded all day."
Tsunade picked up her teacup and took a sip, a hint of melancholy appearing in her eyes.
Her younger brother Nawaki died, Uya and Kushina left Konoha, and the Senju Clan was almost wiped out. Now she was almost all alone in Konoha.
Kushina walked behind Tsunade, placed her small hand on Tsunade's shoulder, and massaged it. Tsunade, Uya to the side, immediately wore a helpless expression.
Hey, are you sure you've got the right person?
"You probably already know why I'm here, Uya," Tsunade said softly, turning to look at Uya.
Uya nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip, then said with a hint of mockery, "Those politicians, when there was no crisis, tried every means to marginalize me. Now that I'm gone, they have to come begging to me. I really want to see what their faces are made of."
So what do you mean?
A complex light flickered in Tsunade's eyes. At this moment, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she couldn't bear to watch Konoha be destroyed. At least for now, she had to help Konoha one more time.
Uya looked at Tsunade, smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his smile, and said, "You should ask Tsunade- neechan what you mean."
Looking at Uya's expression, Tsunade sighed softly and said, "I can't just watch the village my grandfather built perish, even though I hate those damned politicians' faces."
Kushina, who had been Tsunade's shoulders, stopped and refilled Uya and Kushina's teacups with another cup of tea.
Then, she also went to sit down.
Uya drank another cup of tea, then casually pinched Kushina's cheek hard, immediately eliciting a displeased look from Kushina.
Uya calmly pointed to his shoulder.
Kushina puffed out her cheeks, snorted, stood up, walked behind Uya, placed her small hand on Uya's shoulder, and then pressed her fingers slightly.
hiss!
Uya took a deep breath. Kushina was really ruthless; she even used the Nine-Tails Chakra, as if she was afraid of not hurting him enough!
"So, those guys sent you to invite me without any conditions?"
Uya reached out and simply grabbed Kushina's two small hands to stop her from causing trouble, before looking at Tsunade.
Tsunade gave a slightly mocking look and said, "Any conditions are fine. You can name whatever you want this time. Even if you want to become Hokage, they've agreed."
"Wow, they really went all out, even giving up the Hokage position."
Uya showed a surprised expression, then instantly imagined the scene in her mind, and Danzo's distorted face naturally appeared, making her unable to help but laugh.
Danzo must be going crazy right now. The position he'd been scheming to take has been so easily placed right in front of him.
"You want to become Hokage?" Tsunade looked at Uya with a hint of curiosity, and at the same time revealed a strange expression, and said, "Speaking of which, you are really a monster. Not only has your strength reached a level that is almost comparable to your grandfather's, but even your talent in governance is almost comparable to your great-grandfather's."
Tsunade's great-uncle was naturally the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Tobirama Senju was indeed far better at governing the village than the First Hokage Hashirama Senju. Things like the Ninja Academy and the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad were all created by Tobirama Senju.
Moreover, after Tobirama Senju established these systems, other major ninja villages followed suit, and the current state of the major ninja villages in the Shinobi World is almost entirely related to Tobirama Senju's governance.
"In terms of governance, no one can compare to the Second Hokage. As for strength... I'm still a ways off from the First Hokage."
Hearing Tsunade's words, Uya responded softly, not out of modesty, but to the truth.
Tsunade could tell from Uya's words that he was thinking, but she was also somewhat surprised. Originally, her statement that he was comparable to Hashirama Senju in terms of strength was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect Uya to respond by saying that he was still some distance from Hashirama Senju.
To put it another way, this statement means that we are very close to achieving the power of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, who was considered God of the Shinobi World!
However, considering how easily Uya could suppress the Nine-Tails, his strength, if not on par with Hashirama Senju, is probably not far off.
"As for the Hokage... I have no interest whatsoever."
At this point, Uya shrugged.
Managing the Land of Rain is already quite busy, and with Yahiko and Konan around, things shouldn't bother Uya too much.
But if he were to become the Hokage of Konoha and handle the affairs of the Land of Fire, he would probably have to spend all his time in the Hokage's office. Uya longs for freedom and unrestraint, not sitting in an office like he's in prison.
Hearing Uya's words, Tsunade couldn't help but smile and said, "Just like you."
If Danzo had heard Uya so easily say that he had absolutely no interest in the Hokage Position, his expression would probably have been incredibly interesting.
"In that case, there really isn't anything in Konoha that interests you."
"No, there is." Uya looked at Tsunade with a half-smile, his tone slightly teasing, and said, "I'm more interested in you, Tsunade."
No sooner had Uya finished speaking than he felt Kushina's small hand, which he was holding, suddenly pinch his palm hard.
It hurts a little! (To be continued.)
