Chapter 448 448 Long time no see, Xiaogang
Senju Tomokazu is already an old man who is over sixty years old.
He has been the daimyo of the Fire Nation for nearly forty years, making him the longest-serving daimyo in the Fire Nation.
It was under his protection that the declining Thousand Hands clan was able to survive in danger.
Now, his life is finally coming to an end.
In front of the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.
A woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with beautiful blond hair inherited from her mother, and a plump figure came to the door of Daming Mansion.
"Princess Tsunade!"
shouted the Twelve Guardian Ninja who were responsible for guarding the Daimyo at the door.
Tsunade Senju, during the Third Ninja War.
After the Senju clan suffered heavy losses and fell, she gave up her identity as a Konoha ninja and wandered around the ninja world as a "gambler".
Now, nearly forty years old, she still looks so young.
There is no trace of the vicissitudes of time in her beautiful appearance.
Senju Tsunade quickly walked into Daming Mansion.
In the daimyo's room, accompanying his father, who was bedridden and had white hair, were his mother, Rei Senju, and his younger brother, Senju Naoki, who was also in his thirties this year.
"dad!"
Tsunade pursed her lower lip, stepped forward quickly, and held the hand of her seriously ill father, which was so thin that there was only a layer of skin left.
"Xiao Tsuna~ You are here..."
Senju Zhihe's old face barely showed a smile.
From the aura flowing out of her father's body, Tsunade knew that her medical ninjutsu was beyond repair.
No matter how much medical skills are practiced, it is impossible to prevent birth, old age, illness and death.
Tsunade shed tears silently.
This was the first time she shed tears in ten years after the Senju clan suffered a heavy blow.
…
Two weeks later, the Fire Nation Daimyo, Senju Tomokazu, passed away due to illness.
After the fifth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato passed away, the daimyo also passed away one after another.
This time, not only many ninja representatives from Konoha, but also many high-ranking nobles from the Fire Country came to the Daming Mansion to express their deep condolences for the death of Senju Tomokazu.
And Jiraiya finally met the object of his childhood crush after ten years.
She was still so beautiful, but the indifference on her face was worse than before.
Even Orochimaru, who had been mysterious and elusive in recent years, attended Senju Tomokazu's funeral.
It was the same with Jiraiya, who met his old friend Tsunade, whom he hadn't seen for ten years.
Jiraiya was just thinking about how to go up and comfort Tsunade, but he didn't expect that Orochimaru had already stepped forward and said in a cold and even sarcastic tone: "Human life is such a fragile existence, there is no need at all. sad."
"Idiot Orochimaru, what are you talking about!"
Jiraiya looked horrified, rushed forward and pulled Orochimaru away, and said shyly: "Tsunade, don't be angry. You also know that Orochimaru is a weirdo, hahaha..."
"I'm not wrong."
After saying these words calmly, Orochimaru left without looking back.
"That guy...has become more and more weird lately."
Jiraiya frowned.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Tsunade also responded with an extremely cold tone and started to enter the mourning hall.
"Tsunade, someone at the top of Konoha has expressed the hope that you will become the Sixth Hokage."
Jiraiya thought for a while and shouted at Tsunade's back.
Tsunade paused, then turned her back to Jiraiya and let out a sneer, "Hokage... only fools would do that kind of thing..."
After saying that, Tsunade left even faster.
Seeing his two close friends leaving in different directions, Jiraiya felt very bitter in his heart.
Are the comrades who were then parting ways more and more now?
…
…
The death of her father, Tomokazu Senju, was probably the only thing that caused Tsunade to feel emotional fluctuations in the past ten years.
The position of the new daimyo is hotly contested.
As the son of Senju Tomokazu, Senju Noju is not yet qualified, so the Senju clan has no choice but to give up the position of daimyo.
And Tsunade has no interest in who will succeed her father.
For several days, she stayed at her father's grave.
Some time before his father died, he had been telling himself stories about his childhood.
My father said that his childhood was not a happy one.
As the first Hokage, his father was busy with village affairs every day, so that he never experienced the feeling of father's love.
Even because he was forced to decide his life and the person to spend his life with, Senju Tomokazu even resented his father when he was young.
But Senju Tomokazu knew that his father was the greatest ninja, and he also witnessed his father's glorious second half of his life.
But it is a pity that these principles were only gradually understood by Senju Tomokazu after Senju Hashirama passed away.
In order to compensate Tsunade, as a daimyo, no matter how busy Senju Tomokazu is, he will try his best to spend more time with Tsunade and Naoki.
After all, Senju Nezuki still has the duties of a ninja school, so he can't stay here forever.
He returned to Konoha a few days ago.
The mother, Senju Rei, has completely entered a state of seclusion.
Her physical condition is not optimistic either.
Although it was a political marriage, she and Senju Tomokazu had always been quite affectionate after nearly forty years of marriage.
Now that her husband passed away earlier than her, Qianju Ling also suffered a huge blow in her heart.
And a person's long-term psychology has a huge impact on her physical health.
Tsunade, who would come back, reminded her mother more than once that she must maintain an optimistic attitude.
Although Qianju Ling agreed.
But in reality, how could she be happy when the person she loved most left?
After many attempts to persuade her to no avail, Tsunade could only ask her younger brother Naoki to take good care of her mother.
Although she would do her best, she really didn't want to stay in Konoha any longer.
A few days later, Chiju Senju and Tsunade stood up slowly in front of their graves.
"Are you leaving?"
The moment Tsunade stood up, a familiar voice that had not been heard for many years came from behind, making Tsunade feel like she was being struck by lightning.
After her delicate body trembled violently, her face was full of disbelief, and she slowly turned around to look.
He has a tall figure, a handsome face with a familiar smile, and a black hair with a small braid at the end.
He was about thirty years old, exactly as he remembered.
"Izuna...teacher?"
Tsunade's green eyes widened and she walked forward in disbelief.
He was afraid that if he blinked, the other party would disappear from his sight.
This aura, this fluctuation of chakra, Tsunade will never forget in her life.
It's not the transformation technique, it's Izuna-sensei himself.
Quan Nai opened his hands and smiled: "As you can see, he is still alive."
Two strands of clear tears flowed down the sides of Tsunade's cheeks uncontrollably, and the next second they threw themselves into Izuna's arms.
"Wow wow wow wow-!!!!"
