Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

After saying that, without waiting for Uchiha Kakuzan's reaction, she hugged his arm again and continued strolling around. Tsunade knew very well that she could never leave Uchiha Kakuzan in this lifetime. Rather than being angry with him, she might as well use some methods to make him like her more.

Anko Mitarashi, who emerged from the alley behind Uchiha Okayama and Tsunade, saw Tsunade clinging to the man's arm again. She stomped her foot in exasperation and walked off in another direction. She was determined to tell Uzuki Yugao everything this man had done, so she could be careful and more vigilant.

Uchiha Kakuzan accompanied Tsunade as they strolled around Konoha Village until evening, even having dinner at a barbecue restaurant and enjoying a few drinks.

When Tsunade and Uchiha Kakuzan returned home satisfied, Shizune had already had Tsunade's house in Konoha cleaned up and was waiting at the door. The professionalism of their work impressed Uchiha Kakuzan, showing him what an ancient tradition truly meant.

When Uchiha Kakuyama saw Tsunade's house, he was astonished and his eyes widened. He knew Tsunade was very rich, but he never expected that her house in Konoha would be so extravagantly luxurious.

Putting aside its exquisite craftsmanship, just look at its size. Is this a house? It should be called a mansion. Not to mention Tsunade living here, it could easily house dozens of people.

Seeing Uchiha Kagami's surprised expression, Tsunade couldn't help but smile and said modestly, "This is a house left by my grandparents. It hasn't been lived in for a long time, so it looks a bit old."

Uchiha Kazuyama was about to say something when he heard Tsunade's words, but Tsunade pulled him directly into the house.

That evening, after sending Shizune away, Tsunade pulled Uchiha Kazuyama into her room and unleashed an unprecedented passion, forcing Uchiha Kazuyama to exert all his strength to barely subdue Tsunade.

When everything returned to calm, Tsunade recovered her strength while drawing circles on Uchiha Kagami's chest.

Uchiha Kakuzan stroked Tsunade's hair and asked, "Tsunade-neechan, you seem a bit off today? You haven't been back for a while, are you a little excited?"

Tsunade understood what Uchiha Kagami meant, saying that she had been excited just now, not only in terms of her emotions but also in her behavior.

Tsunade blushed as she thought about what had just happened. She leaned her face against Uchiha Kakuyama's chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and said, "It's not just for that reason, there are other reasons too."

When Tsunade got to this point, she couldn't help but raise her head and look into Uchiha Kakuyama's eyes, saying, "Kakuyama, you should know that my medical skills are quite advanced, right?"

Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Tsunade's modest words: "If your medical skills aren't high enough, then there are no medical ninjas in the entire ninja world."

When Tsunade heard Uchiha Kakuyama praise her, she couldn't help but smile happily: "It's precisely because my medical skills are decent that I'm able to detect some signs in the human body in advance."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuyama was startled and scrambled to his feet. He placed his hands on Tsunade's shoulders and scanned her body, trying to find anything amiss. Although all he saw was an alluring sight, Uchiha Kakuyama had no interest in that sort of thing.

"What's wrong with your body? Did I use too much force just now?" Uchiha Kakuzan's tone was somewhat flustered.

Tsunade hadn't expected Uchiha Kagami to react so strongly, and a warm feeling welled up inside her. However, she couldn't help but smile and comfort her, "It's alright. Don't worry, I know my own body. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Uchiha Kakuzan was relieved to hear Tsunade's words. Based on Tsunade's tone and the way she had spoken to him earlier, Uchiha Kakuzan had thought that something was wrong with Tsunade.

"So what were you trying to say? I thought you were sick."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Tsunade couldn't help but blush, her hands instinctively covering her lower abdomen, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating light.

Tsunade slowly brought her lips close to Uchiha Kakuyama's ear and whispered, "I think I'm pregnant."

Tsunade's voice was soft, but to Uchiha Kakuzan, it was as loud as a morning bell or evening drum, deafening and thought-provoking.

Uchiha Kakuzan's hand, which was stroking Tsunade's smooth back, suddenly froze. He then slowly turned his head to look at Tsunade's pretty face. Tsunade nodded slightly, telling Uchiha Kakuzan that she was not joking and that what she said was true.

Uchiha Kakuyama then looked at Tsunade's smooth abdomen, which was very beautiful and showed no signs of a tiny life growing inside.

When Uchiha Kakuzan spoke again, he was already stammering and his words were becoming incoherent:

"No, how could it be so fast? We've only been together for such a short time, is it really that fast? Could there be a mistake?"

Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to Uchiha Kakuyama's incoherent words:

"You little rascal, I'm a normal woman too. Isn't pregnancy a normal thing? Aren't you happy? Don't you want the child?"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately retorted loudly, "Don't talk nonsense! Of course I like children, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Seeing how agitated Uchiha Kagami was, Tsunade stopped teasing him. She gently stroked his face and explained, "Actually, ordinary people wouldn't notice this quickly. Because I'm a medical ninja and familiar with the human body's structure, I just noticed some abnormalities in the secretion of various hormones in my body."

After another careful check, comparing my condition to that of other pregnant women I'd treated before, I was finally certain I was pregnant. Normally, I wouldn't suspect anything until her next period.

Uchiha Kakuzan finally understood after hearing Tsunade's explanation: Tsunade was indeed pregnant, and she was really carrying his child.

Uchiha Kakuyama reached out and slowly, without using any force, gently stroked Tsunade's lower abdomen, as if it contained a priceless treasure.

Chapter 167 Wet Bone Forest

Chapter 167 The Wet Bone Forest

Just then, Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to suddenly remember something and slapped himself hard across the face, leaving a bright red handprint.

Tsunade was also startled and immediately grabbed Uchiha Kakuzan's hand, afraid that he would slap himself again. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Why are you slapping yourself?"

Uchiha Kakuyama replied with some guilt, "If I had known you were pregnant earlier, I wouldn't have used so much force just now."

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh when she heard what Uchiha Kakuzan said. While raising her hand to use Healing Palm Technique to heal the wounds on Uchiha Kakuzan's face, she said, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing. Just now, I used my chakra to protect my abdomen. That's why I was so focused. Since I'm here now, I can't stay with you anymore. I'll stay with you again after I give birth to the baby and recover."

Uchiha Kakuzan now obeys Tsunade's every word, especially for the sake of his and Tsunade's child. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, even if you asked me to touch you, I wouldn't dare. Your health is the most important thing."

Seeing Uchiha Kagami's performance, Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and say, "Coward."

At this moment, Tsunade also removed her hand from Uchiha Kakuzan's face. Seeing that Uchiha Kakuzan's face had returned to normal, she smiled with satisfaction.

Then, under Uchiha Kazuyama's puzzled gaze, Tsunade simply put on some clothes and asked, "Kuyama, you don't have a summoning beast yet, do you?"

Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head: "Although our Uchiha clan has a tradition of signing contracts with the Ninja Cat clan, I feel that the Ninja Cats do not significantly improve my strength, so I did not sign one."

Tsunade nodded, and after Uchiha Kakuyama got dressed, she went directly to an open space on one side of the bedroom, bit her finger, began to form hand seals, and finally pressed her palm to the floor.

"Spiritualism!"

In a puff of white smoke, Tsunade summoned a slug that was over two meters long.

Uchiha Kakuyama was also seeing Tsunade's summoning beast, the slug, for the first time, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After emerging from the room, Slug realized it wasn't a battle and asked, "Lady Tsunade, it's been a long time. Is there something you need this time?" Slug's voice sounded like that of a naive little girl.

Tsunade hadn't seen the slug for a long time, so she couldn't help but pat its head and say, "Slug, could you please give me your contract scroll? I want my husband to sign a contract with you."

This was the first time Tsunade had called Uchiha Okayama "husband" in public, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

The slug was also surprised to hear Tsunade's words: "Oh my, Lady Tsunade got married, that's wonderful, is it that person?"

When the slug said this, it looked at Uchiha Okayama who was standing next to it.

Tsunade nodded, her face still flushed: "I want him to sign a contract with you, so that he can go to Shikkotsu Forest and train in your Slug Clan's Sage Mode."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, the slug smiled and said, "Yes, your husband is very handsome, and he's a perfect match for you."

Because slugs have a very long lifespan, they don't have a concept of time like humans, so they don't perceive an age difference between Tsunade and Uchiha Kakuyama.

After praising Uchiha Kakuyama, the slug didn't waste any more words. It opened its mouth and spat out a huge scroll.

After placing the scroll on the ground, Tsunade opened it immediately, revealing the names on it. The names of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, were on it, with Tsunade's name at the very end.

After opening the scroll, Tsunade looked at Uchiha Kakuzan. Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Tsunade was doing it for his own good, and he did want to learn Sage Mode, so he stopped being coy, bit his finger, wrote his name on it, and left his palm print.

Tsunade was satisfied with Uchiha Kakuyama's clean and efficient signing of the contract, so she closed the scroll again and handed it to Slug.

After swallowing the scroll, the slug didn't rush to leave. After all, the man in front of it was one of its own, and it knew that he was trying to cultivate the Immortal Mode. For the sake of this man's life, it naturally had to explain everything about the Immortal Mode.

The slug first looked at Tsunade and asked, "Lady Tsunade, have you told your husband about our method of cultivating Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest?"

Upon hearing the slug's words, Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I haven't had a chance yet. You should tell him. I haven't succeeded in my cultivation either, so I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you everything."

The slug nodded and looked at Uchiha Kakuzan, saying, "Lord Uchiha Kakuzan, to cultivate the Sage Mode of our Shikkotsu Forest lineage, you must first endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear. This is because when you cultivate Sage Mode, in order to harmonize the turbulent natural energy and make it easier for you to sense this energy, we need to coat your body with a special slime from our slug clan."

This mucus is corrosive and will slowly corrode your skin and flesh. You must concentrate your mind and precisely absorb natural energy while experiencing the excruciating pain of your body being corroded, and mix it with your own chakra in a certain proportion in order to enter Sage Mode.

You'll only be considered to have successfully mastered Sage Mode when you can sense and absorb natural energy without applying the slime.

However, since the mucus of our slug family is corrosive, you need to have strong regenerative abilities.

Lady Tsunade was lacking in this aspect, which is why she didn't succeed in her cultivation.

Back then, Lord Hashirama Senju relied on his terrifying healing abilities to spend some time in the Shikkotsu Forest before he successfully trained.

Just then, Tsunade, who was standing next to him, interjected, "Don't worry about that. Qiu Shan has the same physique as my grandfather and won't be corroded by the slime of Shikkotsu Forest."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Slug felt relieved. After all, this man was Tsunade's husband, and Slug didn't want him to be disfigured or have his body corroded and die while training in Sage Mode.

The slug then mentioned some other precautions before tactfully taking its leave.

After seeing the slug off, Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't help but hug Tsunade and whisper, "Tsunade, thank you."

After Tsunade was pulled into Uchiha Kakuzan's arms, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“You are my man, and what is mine is yours. Moreover, you have the same immortal body as my grandfather, so of course you should cultivate the immortal mode of the Wet Bone Forest. In this way, you will be one step closer to your dream.”

Chapter 168 The Heartbroken Little Girl

Chapter 168 The Heartbroken Little Girl

Uchiha Kakuzan was deeply moved by Tsunade's words.

He hadn't expected that Tsunade would still remember his absurd dream.

It's important to understand that Uchiha Kakuzan had this goal because he had a system. He knew that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely achieve his goal.

Tsunade, however, is different. She is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, who was once known as the "God of Shinobi," a man who stood at the pinnacle of the entire shinobi world.

Even Hashirama Senju couldn't escape the limitations of lifespan and died young. As his granddaughter, Tsunade was arguably the person who knew Hashirama Senju best, so how could she not understand how difficult Uchiha Kagakuyama's goal was?

Tsunade was unaware that Uchiha Kakuyama possessed a system, and even if he did, Uchiha Kakuyama's goal would not be easy to achieve.

Uchiha Kakuzan also understood that his system was only helping him complete the evolution of the Sharingan, and that the transformation of life could not be accomplished by relying solely on the eyes.

Only a body that resonates with the eyes can sustain them. Even Madara Uchiha sought out Nagato, who possessed Uzumaki clan blood, when transplanting his Rinnegan.

Nagato could barely sustain the Rinnegan, and when his good friend Yahiko died in his arms, Nagato unleashed his power and summoned the Gedo Mazo, but he could no longer sustain the Rinnegan and almost drained himself dry.

Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan's physical body can only rely on himself. When he fused with the Sage's Body before, if it weren't for Tsunade's help, even if Uchiha Kakuzan didn't die, his body would have been ruined, and he would have ended up like Nagato.

That night, since Tsunade was pregnant, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't dare to do anything strange and obediently held Tsunade and slept through the night.

However, even though Tsunade couldn't move her body, Uchiha Kakuzan still placed his hand on the turbulent area while sleeping, protecting it well throughout the night.

The next morning, Uchiha Kakuyama sneaked out of Tsunade's house, after all, Tsunade was about to take over as Hokage of Konoha.

Her arrival must have alerted all the ninja clans, big and small, in Konoha. Tsunade just returned yesterday, so it's not appropriate for her to pay a visit.

Today, Tsunade's house will be very lively, not only with the various families, but also with her old subordinates, and even those seeking medical treatment.

Therefore, to avoid trouble, Uchiha Kakuyama left Tsunade's house early.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Kakuyama habitually went to Ichiraku Ramen.

Every time Uchiha Kakuzan returned from a mission, he would come to Ichiraku Ramen for a super-sized bowl of ramen. So, after leaving Tsunade's house, Uchiha Kakuzan came here.

The profession of ninja means leaving early and returning late, so even early in the morning, Ichiraku Ramen is quite lively.

Upon entering the shop, Uchiha Kakuzan habitually called out, "Uncle Ichiraku, the usual, one deluxe extra-large tonkotsu ramen."

Uncle Ichiraku remained unchanged, still smiling and agreeing, while the little girl Ayame, who was helping him, had tears in her eyes and immediately turned her head away when she saw Uchiha Kakuyama.

Uchiha Kakuyama also noticed that Ayame's emotions were a bit off, but he was a little confused and thought that she was excited because she hadn't seen him for a long time.

After Uchiha Okayama sat there waiting for a while, the little girl Ayame carefully brought out her extra-large portion of ramen.

However, this time Uchiha Kakuyama sensed something was wrong, because Ayame had her head down when she served it.

Moreover, after placing the ramen in front of him, Ayame looked up at him and was about to turn away when Uchiha Kakuyama clearly saw Ayame's red eyes and the tears welling up in them.

Uchiha Qiushan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately grabbed Xiaochangpu, who was about to leave, pulled her in front of him, and asked softly, "Xiaochangpu, what's wrong? Why are you so sad? Can you tell your brother Qiushan?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Qiushan's words, tears welled up in Xiaoxiangpu's eyes and slid down her cheeks like pearls. With a sob in her voice, she asked, "Brother Qiushan, do you no longer want Xiaoxiangpu now that you have a sister with purple hair?"

When Xiao Changpu asked this question, her eyes were filled with grievance and sadness.

When Uchiha Kazuyama heard Ayame's words, he knew what had happened. It must have been that some gossipy person had told Ayame about his shopping trip with Uzuki Yugao in Konoha, which made her so sad.

However, one must admit one's own actions. Uchiha Kagami tenderly wiped away Ayame's tears and said gently, "Our Ayame is so cute and well-behaved, how could I bear to abandon her?"

However, Brother Qiushan also has his own difficulties. Now, as the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, he naturally bears more responsibility and must set a good example. But, I assure you, as long as Xiaoxiangmu still wants me, I absolutely, positively will.

Upon hearing Uchiha Qiushan's words, Xiaoxiang stopped crying and smiled, repeatedly assuring him, "Xiaoxiang will always want Qiushan-nii-san."

Just then, Xiaochangpu suddenly heard a burst of good-natured laughter from around her. She then remembered that she was still in her own shop. She immediately turned around and looked around. She found that everyone around her was looking at her with smiles in their eyes. She ignored Uchiha Qiushan and ran away shyly.

Uncle Ichiraku, who was watching from a distance, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since her daughter learned from a customer at the noodle shop a few days ago that Uchiha Kazuyama was shopping with a purple-haired girl, she had been sullen. It was only when Uchiha Kazuyama came to the shop today that the scene just now occurred.

Uncle Ichiraku wasn't worried about Uchiha Kakuzan abducting his daughter. He had been following Uchiha Kakuzan closely and knew that he was now the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, the most powerful clan in the village. Moreover, the Uchiha clan was about to move away soon. In addition, his daughter was still young and would soon forget such a passerby in life, so he let his daughter go as she pleased, as long as she wasn't sad anymore.

Having appeased Ayame, Uchiha Okayama turned his attention to the deluxe, extra-large portion of ramen in front of him.

Before eating, Uchiha Kakuzan habitually picked at the ramen noodles, then revealed a considerable amount of fried eggs and sausages at the bottom of the bowl.

Uchiha Qiushan shook his head and chuckled. This little girl, even when she was angry with him, still secretly added so much stuff to her bowl. How could she still be so adorable?
