"Um?!"
Tsunade glared at Uya, snorted, and said, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
Uya gave a helpless look, glanced at Kushina Tsunade front of him, and said, "You two really are..."
"Don't forget my current identity is the leader of Amegakure. I have to think about Amegakure. Amegakure doesn't have any excellent medical-nin right now. If Tsunade- neechan joins us, setting up a medical-nin training institution will be a piece of cake."
At this point, Uya added in his mind, " Tsunade in the original work is the Fifth Hokage, and her administrative skills are undeniable. With her around, Uya can confidently be a hands-off manager, leaving everything to her and then living in seclusion behind the scenes."
The only problem is that it's a bit strange to have Tsunade leave Konoha and join Amegakure, First Hokage Hashirama Senju, who founded Konoha, was Tsunade's grandfather.
Uya's words surprised both Kushina and Tsunade. Then, Kushina suddenly realized what he meant and nodded slightly to Tsunade.
"Yes, why don't you stay here, Tsunade- neechan? Anyway, it seems like there's no one in Konoha you care about, and it's quite dangerous there anyway."
Tsunade, on the other hand, wore a thoughtful expression and sat there without saying a word.
Unlike others, Tsunade didn't show any unusual expression even after the death of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, during the original storyline. She was also completely unwilling to return to the village to become Hokage. It was only after Naruto changed her mind that she was willing to return to the village.
She didn't feel a strong sense of belonging to Konoha, especially after experiencing Second Shinobi World War and Third Shinobi World War, witnessing the rise and fall of the Senju Clan, and seeing the true colors of politicians like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.
"By the way, if you can't let go of Konoha, you can continue to help Konoha at any time. Although you're staying in the Land of Rain, this doesn't mean you have to defect from Konoha."
Uya nodded slightly to Tsunade and said, "Besides, I don't think anyone would dare to label you as a defector, just like Kushina and I."
Tsunade listened to Uya's words but remained silent, her eyes revealing complex emotions.
Seeing this, Uya shrugged and then pulled out his trump card, saying, "Doesn't Konoha say you can make any condition? Well, my condition is that you stay in Amegakure."
Hearing this, Tsunade finally couldn't help but give a wry smile and said, "I really can't do anything with you..."
At the same time, she Chunin think that if Uya's condition were really relayed back to Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others would probably still agree to use her as a bargaining chip to secure Konoha's victory in the Third Shinobi World War.
This is the true nature of people Hiruzen Sarutobi; everything can be used for exchange. In the original story, during the Kumogakure incident, they even forced the Hyuga Clan to hand over their clan leader, Hyuga, to the Cloud Ninja, ultimately leading to Hizashi Hyuga Hiashi.
Tsunade, utterly disappointed with Konoha, finally nodded and chose to stay. In exchange, Uya would eliminate Jinchūriki and Tailed Beast on the battlefield for Konoha.
"So, Uya, when are you leaving?"
Having made her decision, Tsunade stopped hesitating and asked in a serious tone.
Although Konoha is not yet in dire straits, every day that drags on makes the battlefield increasingly disadvantageous for Konoha. Since Tsunade has decided to stay in the Land of Rain, she should at least finish her last tasks before leaving Konoha.
"Now."
Uya's attitude was even more serious than Tsunade had imagined. After Tsunade agreed to stay, Uya stood up and walked out of the room, which surprised both Tsunade and Kushina.
Are you leaving now?
Is it really necessary to be this swift and decisive!
Kushina, in particular, felt that Uya had become incredibly lazy over the past year, except for his training. He even shirked his duties in handling some documents for the Land of Rain, leaving them to her. Now, he had actually agreed to go straight to the battlefield. It was as if the sun had risen in the west.
Uya Gate of Opening, and with a flash, he arrived above Amegakure, gazing into the distance with a strange light in his eyes.
"It's time to make the boring Third Shinobi World War a little more interesting."
In fact, even without this incident, Uya would still have participated in the Third Shinobi World War, especially the most famous battle at Kannabi Bridge. This battle led to Obito's corruption and allowed Black Zetsu, who had been scheming behind the scenes, to step into the limelight with the help of Madara Uchiha.
Uya has been searching for Madara Uchiha, and this battle is his chance to find Madara Uchiha.
The sky, shrouded in dark clouds, seemed to bring an endless sense of oppression. The Seven-Tails was flying around Amegakure, seemingly bored.
" Seven-Tails, come here."
Uya still wasn't used to calling them by their names; she preferred to refer to them directly by their titles, such as Seven-Tails or Nine-Tails.
Uya's voice was soft, yet it reached Seven-Tails's ears with unparalleled clarity.
Whoosh!!
The Seven-Tails, which was in the sky, suddenly swooped down at high speed, its massive body becoming a blur, and then it arrived in front of Uya in an instant.
While exuding an imposing aura, he also maintained a respectful demeanor.
"Boss! What are your orders?"
Uya stared blankly at the pose Seven-Tails struck, then shook his head; he'd gotten used to it after all this time.
With one step, Uya landed directly on the back of the Seven-Tails.
"Let's go to Konoha."
Uya was too lazy to run all the way to Konoha anymore. With the Seven-Tails around, he would only run away if he was bored out of his mind.
At this moment, Tsunade, Kushina, and the others had already arrived at the top of the building.
Looking at Uya and the Seven-Tails, Tsunade's beautiful eyes revealed a strange light, and she said, "So you have completely subdued the Seven-Tails after all?"
"Tch, that's just the kind of personality that little bug has."
Kushina raised her head, revealing a disdainful expression.
Kushina Tsunade Kushina beside her in astonishment, completely dumbfounded. How could Kushina say such a thing and make such an expression?!
Wait, something's not right!
That tone... it's not Kushina, it's Nine-Tails's!
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Tsunade flashed with a dangerous light as she instantly assumed a fighting stance, thinking that the Nine-Tails had gone out of control again.
"Little girl, looks like you've got a lot of free time, but I'm bored too."
Nine-Tails spoke lazily to Tsunade, his tone languid.
But in the next instant, the scene abruptly changed. Kushina looked at Tsunade with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "I'm so sorry, the Nine-Tails was about to speak, so... just ignore it." (To be continued.)
