Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 237 Establishing a Relationship

Tsunade's personality is somewhat like what the company commander said about Xu Sanduo: "She's clearly a strong person, but she's born with a cowardly look."

Tsunade is very strong, but she lacks decisiveness and often needs others to help her strengthen her resolve.

So even though she discovered the darkness in the village, Tsunade couldn't stand up and criticize her teacher, and could only leave for distant lands.

She clearly loved the village more than anyone else, but when Jiraiya came to her, she was unwilling to become Hokage. It took a long time of persuasion, and even Naruto had to make a bet, before she finally returned to the village and became Hokage.

The situation is the same now. Even though she likes it very much, Tsunade just can't bring herself to say it because of various concerns.

As Tsunade's grandmother, Mito Uzumaki spent a lot of time with Tsunade in her early years and naturally understood Tsunade's personality.

Since you can't make this decision, then I'll help you make it!

"Excellent! That's the attitude!!" Upon hearing Tsunade's reply, Mito Uzumaki slammed her hand on the table: "Life is short, only a hundred years or so. If you don't even dare to pursue your own happiness, are you going to grow old alone and only start to regret it when you die?"

"This..." Tsunade blushed as soon as she said it. Mito Uzumaki didn't know how good Ning Yuan's hearing was, but Tsunade did!

In other words, if Ning Yuan wanted to listen, wouldn't he have overheard their entire conversation?

Moreover, Grandma is wrong. The techniques and skills Ningyuan developed can indeed make people live a long time.

I don't know exactly how long, but it's definitely not a hundred or so years!

However, the logic behind it is sound!

Pursue love as early as possible, or you'll regret it every day you delay!

It's done!

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, then her expression turned troubled again: "But I like him, yet I don't know how he feels, or whether he likes me back?"

"Easy, I'll ask for you!" Mito Uzumaki turned and called out, "Ning Yuan, come here for a second!"

You definitely can't shout like that in a public place.

But isn't this a family gathering? Ning Yuan came in as a successor of Uchiha Madara's philosophy, which is to say, she is a descendant of Uzumaki Mito.

"Mito-senpai!" Upon hearing the voice, Ning Yuan first greeted Hashirama and Madara, then hurriedly ran over: "What can I do for you?"

This room was actually converted from a conference room, so it's not small. If you were speaking in hushed tones, an ordinary person sitting at a distance might not be able to hear you.

So even though Ning Yuan heard what they were talking about, he pretended not to hear anything.

To avoid making everyone feel awkward.

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask you!" Mito Uzumaki asked, "Do you like my granddaughter?"

"I like it!" Ning Yuan nodded immediately.

"Huh?" Tsunade exclaimed in immediate surprise, "You like me?"

"I'm talking about the kind of affection a man has for a woman, not the kind of affection a junior has for a senior!" Mito Uzumaki quickly added.

"I know, that's the kind of liking I'm talking about!" Ning Yuan nodded.

"Hey, you little brat!" Tsunade suddenly realized that although he was young, his mind was anything but!

He's very sensible!

She pulled Ning Yuan into her arms and asked, "By the way, is this a clone or your real body?"

"The real body!" Ning Yuan replied immediately.

Tsunade was stunned: "So, you brat, you used a clone to participate in the founding ceremony? You have absolutely no respect for the founding ceremony!"

"Tsunade, you know me. I've never liked these kinds of formalities!" Ning Yuan shrugged. "It's just that the people of the Celestial Dynasty needed this ceremony, so I arranged it!"

"Moreover, my clones are all physical clones, and they are very powerful, so there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

"Alright!" Tsunade nodded, not really having anything to say in her opinion, because she knew Ning Yuan well; he was indeed someone who didn't like formalities.

"etc!"

Tsunade suddenly remembered what she was going to ask.

"You said you like me?" Tsunade vigorously rubbed Ning Yuan's head. "What a little pervert! How old are you to have feelings for me already? Confess honestly, when did it start?"

"From the very first moment I saw you!" Ning Yuan replied immediately.

"Ah!" Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled.

When did we first meet?

Five years ago, Sarutobi Biwako took Ningyuan to study at Konoha Hospital, and the two met in the corridor!

"You really are something!" Tsunade was at a loss for words. "You were only five years old back then!"

"Is that so strange?" Ning Yuan retorted. "A lot of kids want to marry pretty older women, right? It's just that other kids only talk about it, while I have the ability to make it happen!"

"That's true!" Tsunade has run a hospital and trained doctors over the years, and has seen countless children.

Many children say they want to marry a nurse, while others want to marry a male doctor.

However, it does feel a bit strange to be liked by a five-year-old.

"Wait a minute!" Tsunade suddenly remembered, "What about your later arrangements for me? Were those also put into practice by you?"

"Guess?" Ning Yuan blinked, feigning cuteness.

"You dare make me guess!" Tsunade pulled Ning Yuan into her arms.

Actually, she had done this action countless times before, and Tsunade had never felt anything special about it. Rubbing Ningyuan was no different from rubbing a cat.

But today, it suddenly feels different.

It wasn't just because Ning Yuan had grown taller in the past two years, to the point that he now rests his head more on his shoulders, but also because their relationship had been made public, which changed the feelings between them.

Tsunade's movements became lighter and gentler until they finally stopped.

But the arms wrapped around Ning Yuan tightened even more!

"I'm being strangled!" Ning Yuan struggled to raise his hands: "Guards! The Immortal Lord has been assassinated! Seal off the entire area!"

"This isn't assassination, it's called rebellion against the Heavenly Gang, is that what you taught me?" Tsunade said with a smile.

Besides, she doesn't think she can strangle Ning Yuan; your nose is right on your shoulder!

However, the strength in my arms has loosened up a bit.

"Don't you already have a lover? And you said you'd marry Kurenai Yuhi. If we follow your logic, doesn't that mean you've already fallen for someone else just a few days after you said that?" Tsunade asked with a smile.

"There was indeed someone else in my life, but no transfer of affection!" Ning Yuan sighed. "I like you, and I like Yuhi Kurenai too."

If you want to build a harem, you can't avoid a chaotic situation. To be honest, Ning Yuan doesn't know how to deal with this.

Because he had never driven one before, this was his first time.

According to some romance novels, he should encounter a major calamity at this time, the kind that endangers his life, and then a group of women will reconcile at his bedside.

But given his style of doing things, it's completely impossible for him to fall into such a situation.

If we leave him in a hospital bed, it would probably require the Sage of Six Paths or Kaguya-sama herself to descend to the mortal realm and assassinate him.

That's completely unsuitable!

After much deliberation, Ning Yuan chose the method he had been using since his transmigration: sincerity!

I am loving, I want to have a harem, I am sincere, and I deserve praise.

As for Tsunade, what will Kurenai Yuhi think?

"Aren't you afraid I won't accept you and will reject you?" Tsunade asked coldly, her hand expertly resting on Ning Yuan's waist.

There's a feeling that if you answer incorrectly, they'll strangle you.

"I'm scared!" Ning Yuan nodded frankly. "That's why I hope you won't reject me!"

"Why can't I refuse you?" Tsunade asked with a smile. "There are so many men in this world, but someone like you, eh?"

At this point, Tsunade couldn't continue.

There's only one man like Ning Yuan in the whole world.

It's not just Ning Yuan's achievements that are great, but also the various efforts he made to help Tsunade overcome her trauma.

Explain the truth about Konoha Village to her, arrange for her to leave Konoha Village, let her shine in the direction she is best at, use the achievements brought by her work to dilute her hatred for the village, and use hope to resolve her longing for Dan.

Then, he spent four years gradually etching his image into Tsunade's heart.

Is Tsunade a pervert?

of course not!

She didn't fall for a boy 25 years her junior simply because of his looks.

However, she genuinely felt warmth from this boy.

Just like Grandma said, he filled the void in her heart.

However, Tsunade once thought that Ningyuan's various efforts were only for the ideal of unifying the ninja world.

Now she realized that what filled the void in her heart was not some ideal, but his love for her.

Now that I think about it, maybe he only wanted to conquer the world so that he could have me!

Thinking of this, Tsunade's arms around Ning Yuan became even more tender.

She didn't press for what to do next, and Ning Yuan didn't ask her if she agreed.

However, the agreement was made silently.

Watching the two embracing each other as if no one else was around, Mito Uzumaki had a satisfied smile on her face.

Commonly known as "auntie's smile".

Although her grandson has passed away, both of her granddaughters have found people they can entrust their lives to.

It seems I can now peacefully go to the Pure Land.

Oh right, we also need to bring the big pillar.

His ideas are quite different from Ningyuan's ideal of unification. Although he is unlikely to interfere with reality, it's better to take him away just in case.

Moreover, Mito Uzumaki knew that although Hashirama seemed open-minded, he was actually more conservative than anyone else at heart, and he might not necessarily accept Ning Yuan, a grandson-in-law from a different generation.

So, we need to take him away before he finds out!

"Let's go!" Mito Uzumaki stood up and grabbed Hashirama's ear.

"Wait, I'm not finished yet. Let me say a few more words. I'm sure I can win the argument!" The mighty God of the Ninja World has absolutely no face in front of his wife.

"What's all the fuss about? What's there to argue about! If you want to know who wins and who loses, just wait another 20 years and see if the world can maintain peace!" Mito Uzumaki said irritably.

"That seems so!" Hashirama paused, then suddenly realized. He looked at Madara Uchiha and said excitedly, "Then let's come back in 20 years. I'll say goodbye to my granddaughter first, and then I'll go and give some instructions to that guy named Orochimaru!"

"No need for farewells. They've been preparing for the ceremony all night and are exhausted. Let them rest!" Mito Uzumaki said. "And Tobirama, you're coming with me too!"

rest?

Hashirama is just a bit slow, not stupid. Who would rest in a hugging position like that?

Moreover, although the two are different in age, their heights are almost the same, and they look quite similar.

Shouldn't we be more careful?

Just as he was about to ask a question, Mito Uzumaki yanked his ear hard.

Immediately, the thought of asking any questions vanished; saving one's life was the priority.

"I still have some ideas I haven't shared with Minato yet!" Tobirama Senju learned about the achievements of the Guining Immortal Dynasty's Forbidden Technique Research Institute through Minato, and he was currently in a state of bursting inspiration, so how could he bear to leave?

Mito Uzumaki said coldly, "What can you possibly come up with here? You might as well talk to Orochimaru and have him summon you to the research institute!"

"That makes sense!" Tobirama Senju nodded immediately.

Although Minato is knowledgeable, he is not a professional researcher and often cannot keep up with his own thinking.

Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Tobirama Senju suddenly realized that he must have come to the wrong person.

But what's going on? Why is my sister-in-law's tone so impatient?

Tobirama Senju didn't think much of it. Perhaps it was because his sister-in-law had a hard time supporting the village alone after his death, so it was normal for her to be a little angry.

"Then let's go quickly!" Tobirama Senju said, then added to Minato, "We'll talk again another time!"

"Okay!" Minato nodded, then watched as the three seniors hurriedly left.

The First Hokage didn't even say goodbye to Madara when he left!

"What's going on!" Madara was also a little confused, but he wasn't in a hurry to return to the Pure Land. Hashirama was gone, but he still wanted to teach his grandson a lesson.

This child named Shisui is young, but he knows a lot. He can grasp ninjutsu very quickly. I just don't know how he will perform in practice.

"Let's go, let's find a training ground to try!" Ban eagerly pulled Shisui up.

"My homework!" Shisui turned to look at his winter break homework.

"Just leave it here, who would dare steal anything from here?" Madara said dismissively, and pulled Shisui away.

In just a short while, only Tsunade and Ningyuan, Kushina and Minato remained in the room.

"Then let's leave too!" Minato looked at the two who were hugging each other. Although they often hugged each other, the atmosphere today felt a little different.

However, Minato was a smart man and knew that he shouldn't ask too many questions.

"I'll say hello to my sister and Ningyuan!" Kushina said.

"They probably won't like you bothering them!" Minato patted Kushina on the shoulder, and the two of them disappeared from the conference room.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the conference room, Ning Yuan quickly lifted his head from Tsunade's shoulder.

"Damn it, I got carried away and we hugged each other. They're definitely going to laugh at me!" Ning Yuan was speechless. His twenty-year dream had finally come true, to the point that even his calm and composed state of mind had been shattered.

Thinking back on what I just did, my face still turns red.

The key point is that if it were an adult, a man and a woman hugging each other, the scene would actually be quite beautiful.

Now there is an adult and a child.

Fortunately, the two are about the same height, so the disharmony isn't too bad.

Hopefully they won't overthink it.

"Go ahead and laugh. I'll take responsibility for any problems that arise!" Tsunade said nonchalantly.

Ning Yuan felt a warmth in his heart.

If their affair were exposed, Tsunade would definitely face more criticism than him.

Although such a thing was impossible, Ning Yuan still truly felt the warmth from Tsunade.

I used to be the one who warmed her heart, and now she's starting to warm my heart too!

Sobbing, I'm so touched!

"What problem could there be? That won't happen!" Ning Yuan laughed. "Don't underestimate my control over the country!"

"Is this what you do with the country?" Tsunade slapped Ning Yuan in annoyance. Thinking about it, it was quite strange. Could Grandma have cast some kind of illusion on me? If he's crazy, I'll go crazy with him!

Yes, that must be it!

She had completely forgotten that she was now much stronger than her grandmother, and that Mito Uzumaki had neither chakra nor the skill to use genjutsu.
