Chapter 24
Uchiha Xuan, who traveled day and night, arrived in Konoha not long after Tsunade and the others returned to the village.
Relying on the status of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Xuan easily brought Uzumaki Kanako into the village.
He took Kanako to the Hokage’s office as soon as possible.
At this time, the third generation was kindly receiving Tsunade and Uzumaki Kushina
“Damn old man, hurry up and register Kushina, I have to go back and rest!”
Tsunade didn’t treat the Third Hokage well at all this time. Knowing her master’s character and what he had done, she hated the old man in front of her.
If it weren’t for the master-disciple relationship, Tsunade wouldn’t have wanted to say a word to him. The
Third Hokage, who noticed Tsunade’s abnormality, didn’t dare to refute or explain anything.
He also knew the character of his disciple. He told her to calm down slowly before”fooling” her and telling her about her difficulties. The Third Hokage didn’t believe that he couldn’t fool her with his eloquence. The
Second Ninja War was on the verge of breaking out, and Tsunade had to be appeased at this critical juncture.
If she gave up, the ninjas of the Senju clan might have to go against him, the Hokage.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Senju clan is already in name only, the Third Hokage is still afraid of that heritage.
The Third Hokage turned to look at the timid Uzumaki Kushina with a kind and amiable smile.
“You must be Kushina, I am the third generation grandfather, and I will arrange a residence permit and accommodation for you now.”
When he was still trying to get closer to Kushina, Tsunade interrupted him.
“I will take Kushina to the Senju clan’s base. Grandma will teach you. You don’t need to worry about this.”
Tsunade said coldly, and then pulled Kushina away without looking back.
Tsunade knew the ability of the third generation to bewitch, and didn’t want Kushina to have too much contact with him.
Looking at Tsunade and Kushina leaving, the third generation’s face immediately darkened.
“Tsunade’s anger will not go away for a while, and this time there are so many Senju clan ninjas coming back.
How does Danzo do things? He can’t even handle such a small matter!”
The third generation smoked his pipe and cursed Danzo in his heart.
But he had just taken two puffs of cigarettes to relieve his depression, and the door that had just been closed opened with a”bang”.
“”Cough, cough, cough!”
The Sandai almost fell off his chair after choking.
He quickly looked up and thought it was Tsunade who had returned.
But the image of Uchiha Xuan and Uzumaki Kanako instantly appeared in his vision.
“Hey! Old man Sandai!”
Uchiha Xuan greeted Sandai enthusiastically.
“Uchiha Xuan?! Is this a member of the Uzumaki clan?”
The third generation looked at the returning Uchiha Xuan in surprise, and then glanced at Uzumaki Kanako who was with him.
The iconic red hair made it easy to recognize that she was from the Uzumaki clan.
Uchiha Xuan said with the words he had prepared long ago:”Isn’t there a [Uzumaki rescue mission]? Unfortunately, I couldn’t catch up with Tsunade’s team, and when I arrived, the Uzumaki country had already fallen.
Later, I accidentally found Kanako on the edge of the battlefield, so I brought her back.
I guess I have completed the mission, old man third generation, just tell me how much money you can give me!”
“……”
Uchiha Xuan’s words can be said to be well-reasoned.
Before, the third generation was still suspicious, why did Uchiha Xuan also accept this mission to go to the Whirlpool Country, is it some intention of the Uchiha clan.
Now the third generation seriously suspects that Uchiha Xuan just wants to take the mission to cheat money.
You kid probably just wandered around the border for a few times, and by chance you really saved a member of the Whirlpool clan.
I haven’t settled accounts with you for taking advantage of the privileges of the Uchiha clan and accepting S-level missions across levels!
It’s a pity that the third generation did not mention the topic of accepting missions across levels in the end. He wanted to leave a good impression on Uchiha Xuan. After all, he is Uchiha Xuan’s master.
The third generation is still very generous to the people on his side.
And another problem is that the third generation doesn’t want to embarrass the Uchiha clan now.
As the war gradually ignited, the status of the Uchiha clan in Konoha also rose.
The reason is only one, Konoha now needs the ninjas of the Uchiha clan to go to the battlefield.
At this critical moment, the Sandai gave face to the Uchiha clan and tried to please them so that they would not harbor rifts against Konoha.
When Uchiha Xuan proposed to let Uzumaki Kanako follow him, the Sandai glanced meaningfully at Kanako, who was like a little follower.
How could he not see that this Uzumaki Kanako must like Uchiha Xuan.
You kid, you even kidnapped a young wife back!
The speechless Sandai immediately approved Uchiha Xuan’s idea.
Seeing Uzumaki Kanako’s admiring look on her face, why not do it if the Sandai could save some money on settling in?
After giving Uchiha Xuan a bounty and recording his identity, the Sandai asked Uchiha Xuan to take Kanako and leave quickly.
Not long after Uchiha Xuan went downstairs, Tsunade, who was waiting for him at the door of the Hokage Building, also stopped him.
“You kid actually went to the Land of Whirlpools, how come I didn’t see you there!”
Tsunade wanted to grab Uchiha Xuan’s ears and teach him a lesson and not do such dangerous things.
But thinking of Uchiha Xuan’s temper, Tsunade didn’t dare to reach out her hand.
Her apprentice had been disobedient many times, and he had teased her master before and acted as if nothing had happened. If she really started fighting with Uchiha Xuan, who knew what this guy would do to her.
Facing Tsunade’s well-intentioned rebuke, Uchiha Xuan smiled back.
“After all, Tsunade, you are my teacher, right? Going on a mission alone without telling me is not in line with your identity as a teacher.”
His sincere response and serious expression made Tsunade speechless for a moment. Tsunade could see and hear that Uchiha Xuan really cared about her.
And in the entire Konoha Village, how many people can care about her?
Tsunade was moved, and her tone softened involuntarily. She immediately���Changing the subject, he asked,”Where were you on the battlefield… Could it be that you were the one who caused the internal strife among the ninjas?”
Tsunade quickly thought of the news of the internal strife among the ninja coalition.
She was sure that she didn’t cause it, because her men had exhausted their energy just to resist the enemy’s offensive. They simply couldn’t spare any manpower to go inside the enemy to cause damage.
Combining what Uchiha Xuan said, Tsunade guessed that it must have been his doing.
Uchiha Xuan naturally did not deny it, and at the same time, he inadvertently made a hushing expression to Uzumaki Kushina behind Tsunade.
Uzumaki Kushina noticed this action, and her big eyes were staring straight at Uchiha Xuan.
