"Grandpa, what's wrong?" The tears in Sandaime's eyes were seen by Wood Leaf Maru, who was playing on the side.
Wood Leaf Maru was six years old this year. Wood Leaf Maru had shown extraordinary talent since he was a child. The Sarutobi clan was very excited about this.
Wood Leaf Maru was Sandaime's grandson. With such a strong talent, he was very likely to inherit the position of Hokage in the future.
Once Wood Leaf Maru succeeded as Hokage, for the Sarutobi clan, it would usher in an opportunity to become stronger.
Therefore, the Sarutobi clan deliberately tilted the family's resources to Wood Leaf Maru. His grandson could become stronger, and so could Sandaime.
Hearing Wood Leaf Maru's words, Sandaime wiped his tears and said with a smile, "Grandpa is fine. I just remembered something from the past. Wood Leaf Maru, Grandpa will take you to see someone very important, okay?"
"Someone very important? Who is it? "Wood Leaf Maru showed a very interested look and asked.
"Her name is Tsunade, Grandpa's disciple and Wood Leaf's greatest female ninja."
Hearing that Tsunade was Wood Leaf's greatest female ninja, Wood Leaf Maru suddenly became interested, "I want to go, I want to go!"
"Okay, then let's go together." Sandaime said as he picked up Wood Leaf Maru and walked towards the village entrance.
At the same time, Tsunade and the others had already arrived near Wood Leaf Village. Looking in the direction of the village, they could already see the Hokage Rock.
Perhaps because of the fear of returning home, Tsunade stopped and looked at the village in the distance.
At that time, Tsunade was devastated by the death of her brother and lover. Later, she found out that her brother's death was caused by someone. Since then, Tsunade was completely disappointed in the village and left Wood Leaf with Shizune.
After many years, returning to Wood Leaf again, Tsunade still couldn't forget the things of the past, but she was still full of nostalgia for the village she grew up in.
After standing in place for a long time, Tsunade took a deep breath, her eyes became firm, and she took the lead to walk towards the village.
At this time, a large number of villagers and ninjas had gathered at the entrance of Wood Leaf Village. They were all looking into the distance, hoping to see Tsunade's figure.
A few minutes later, a Ninja who looked to be in his forties or fifties pointed to the distance and shouted excitedly, "Tsunade-sama is there, I see her!"
Everyone followed his finger and looked into the distance.
"It's really Tsunade-sama!"
"Yes, after so many years, Tsunade-sama is finally back!"
The older generation of ninjas fought on the battlefield of the Second Shinobi World War. At that time, their strongest support was Tsunade. It can be said that more than half of the older generation of ninjas present were saved by Tsunade.
Tsunade's departure caused an uproar in the village, and these people couldn't accept it the most.
After so many years, Tsunade finally returned to Wood Leaf. How could they not be excited?
"Tsunade-sama!"
"Tsunade-sama!"
.....
The villagers and ninjas shouted Tsunade's name together. Tsunade was getting closer and closer to the village, and the voices of the villagers and ninjas became clearer and clearer.
Walking to the entrance of the village, Tsunade looked at the familiar faces in front of her, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
These people were all comrades who had gone through life and death with her, and now they were all in their fifties.
Looking at everyone's excited expression, Tsunade's mood was also affected, and her tense mood also relaxed, "Everyone, I'm back!"
"Welcome home, Tsunade!" A familiar voice in the crowd caught Tsunade's attention.
Tsunade looked up and saw the white-haired Third Hokage.
Tsunade's memory of the Third Hokage has been stuck at the time when she left Wood Leaf. At that time, the Third Hokage was worthy of the name of Ninja Hero, but now the Third Hokage made Tsunade's heart extremely uncomfortable.
Tsunade's eyes were a little red, and she held back her tears and said to the Third Hokage, "Old man, how have you been?"
"Very good! After retirement, I don't have to worry so much, and I have a grandson to accompany me. Come, Wood Leaf Maru, this is Tsunade. Didn't you want to see her? "
Tsunade noticed the Wood Leaf Maru in the Third Hokage's arms.
After teasing Wood Leaf Maru for a while, Tsunade and Far Yamanaka entered the village.
As soon as she entered the village, she saw a beautiful red-haired woman with a 10-year-old child looking at her with a smile.
"Shinna Kushina!" Tsunade recognized the red-haired woman at a glance.
Shinna Kushina was an Uzumaki Mito clansman. Since Shinna Kushina came to Wood Leaf, she has been growing up with Uzumaki Mito, so the relationship between Tsunade and Shinna Kushina is also very close.
"Sister Tsunade, long time no see!" Shinna Kushina waved and greeted Tsunade.
"Well, Shinna Kushina! Long time no see! "Tsunade said with a smile.
After the two chatted for a while, Tsunade pointed to Naruto next to Shinna Kushina and asked, "Shinna Kushina, is this your and Watergate's son?"
"Well, his name is Uzumaki Naruto! He's now in the Ninja School. "
"School? I guess his grades are not good, at least in cultural classes. After all, his mother is not a good student. "
Shinna Kushina's face instantly turned red, "Sister Tsunade, how can you say that in front of Naruto!"
"Haha! Let's not talk about this, let's go in! "
That night, Tsunade and Far Yamanaka went to the Hatake Clan to see Hatsuki Shigeru.
In the Hatake Clan's living room, the three sat cross-legged. Hatsuki Shigeru smiled and asked, "Tsunade, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you?"
"I've been away from the village for so long, I don't have to deal with these things. Life is quite comfortable. But Sakumo-sama, you've been acting as Hokage for so many years, you must be annoyed to death! "
Hatsuki Shigeru said helplessly, "Alas, there's no other way. Watergate is not here, and Orochimaru ran away. You and Jiraiya are wandering outside. Far Yamanaka is unreliable. Who else can be Hokage other than me?"
"Thank you for your hard work, Sakumo-sama." Tsunade said with some embarrassment.
Hatsuki Shigeru waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Why did you come back this time?"
"You should ask this kid for the specifics! I returned to the village this time because this kid and Watergate asked me to help support them. "
Hatsuki Shigeru frowned and asked, "Support? What are you and Watergate planning? "
"It's like this. Watergate -san intends to help the Hyuga Clan Branch Family break away from the control of the Main Family."
After that, Far Yamanaka and Hatsuki Shigeru explained the situation.
"Ryo, I don't object to this matter, but don't be too hasty. I think you also know how important the Hyuga Clan is to the village. If anything happens, the impact on the village will be great."
"Well, I know. Uncle Sakumo, don't worry. We have determined that the Hyuga Clan has a way to release the Caged Bird. It won't be difficult to get this method with Shisui."
Hatsuki Shigeru nodded and said, "Well, it's good that you know."
