Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 52 Tsunade, please consider it.

Elder Itachi (Uchiha Madara): ...

Uchiha Akira:......

Fugaku tilted his head, looking confused: "What does 'flat-chested' mean?"

Uchiha Akane quickly said, "Children don't need to know."

After saying that, he deliberately glanced to the side, looking speechless, and said to the little brat who liked Da Lai Lai, "What a lecherous brat."

"Lustful?"

Aokiji, the little brat, crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow: "If that's how you see me, Aokiji of the Uchiha clan, then you've wronged me."

Uchiha Akira:? ? ?

"Actually, I don't care about the size of my breasts, but no matter how hard or tiring it is, I can't let my child go hungry. Sometimes, a person can't be too selfish, can't only think of themselves, can't they think about their descendants?" Aokiji said in a mature tone, "I have experienced this kind of pain, so I can't let my child experience this kind of pain."

This tricky answer left even Madara Uchiha, who was behind the scenes, completely stumped.

This eccentric Uchiha, whom Madara Uchiha was willing to call the strongest.

"Therefore, based on all the reasons mentioned above, I will never pursue Tsunade."

Aokiji listed several of Tsunade's current situations, providing reasoned and well-founded arguments.

Hearing Elder Itachi's account, he truly hadn't expected that there would be someone with such vision within the clan.

Great minds think alike!

As expected of a man with that name, his brain circuitry is indeed different from that of a typical Uchiha.

Based on this, it seems that Elder Itachi belongs to the faction within the clan that actively integrates into the village.

She even went so far as to use her good looks to win over Konoha.

For the sake of his clan, Aokiji wouldn't mind sacrificing his charms, but if he were to express his opinion now, the news would surely spread like wildfire, and that would be troublesome...

Therefore, he would never admit it, no matter what.

Seemingly for the sake of the clan, Elder Itachi wanted to persuade him further: "I think you should think about it carefully."

"No." Aokiji refused decisively: "Speaking of which, why do I have to pursue Tsunade? She's so flat-chested, she's not even in my aesthetic range."

Elder Itachi remained silent, but gave Uchiha Akane a look, which Akane understood, and he tactfully led Fugaku away.

Walking along the road, Fugaku An couldn't contain his confusion and asked, "Aka-sensei, judging from Elder Itachi's tone just now, I felt like Elder Itachi was intentionally trying to match Aokiji with that girl named Tsunade."

Uchiha Akashi sighed, "This matter is rather complicated to explain. You just need to know that Elder Itachi did all this for the future of the Uchiha clan."

Fugaku nodded, seemingly understanding, and said admiringly, "Elder Itachi is already so old, yet he's still thinking about the future of the Uchiha clan. He's truly a great man. If I have children in the future, I will definitely make them learn from Elder Itachi."

Watching the two leave, Elder Itachi seemed to have no more reservations and said in a reminiscent tone, "In a few months, you'll be almost eleven years old. Time really flies... In our time, you would have been a full-fledged adult. I'm already very old, and the burden of the clan ultimately needs to be shouldered by you young people."

With the emotional groundwork laid earlier, Aokiji lowered his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought, vaguely sensing that the other person was about to begin persuading him.

Elder Itachi sighed softly: "You are a smart child. As you grow up, you must have sensed to some extent that the village has a prejudice against our clan."

Aokiji nodded and replied, "Pretty much. Although the First Hokage successfully stopped Madara Uchiha, he passed away shortly afterward. It's normal for the Uchiha clan to be implicated, so naturally many people won't give us a friendly look and will think that we Uchiha killed the First Hokage."

Elder Itachi sighed, "Madara Uchiha was an accident, and the Uchiha clan didn't want to see that happen either. To eliminate the rift, our Uchiha clan has made many efforts, and we were even willing to take on the responsibility of managing the security of Konoha."

"But just like a broken mirror, even if you glue it back together, there will still be cracks. The tribe has tried very hard, but the effect is still minimal, and the situation is getting worse."

Aokiji thought to himself, "Isn't this obvious?"

The Konoha Police Force, which is called the National Defense Force, actually does what? They just check whether the shops in the village have business licenses.

Isn't this the urban management brigade?

The jobs they do are all unpleasant; it would be strange if people liked them.

Moreover, when the Hidden Cloud Village kidnapped young Hinata at a crucial moment, the Uchiha clan did nothing...

Aokiji remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Tsunade and I have only a pure friendship, and I don't want to get these political things mixed in."

Upon hearing this, Elder Itachi sighed, "Is that so? That's truly a pity."

He was just trying it out; if it worked, it would save him a lot of work later.

If the conditions are right, we should go for it; if the conditions aren't right, then we should create them.

Aokiji looked confused. Had Elder Itachi just given up like that?

Elder Itachi saw through his thoughts and smiled, "What? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve my goals?"

"Uh, no."

"Feelings can't be forced. As the saying goes, a forced relationship won't be sweet. I understand that principle."

Even a forced melon can quench thirst.

Aokiji continued in his mind.

The other party's understanding made him feel a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he made a suggestion: "Uh, Elder Itachi, if you really want to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and the village through marriage, I feel you can try to find other clan members."

Elder Itachi shook his head and said firmly, "This mission is only for you. If you are not willing to take it, no one else can complete it."

It has to be me?

I'm so awesome, how come I didn't know?

"Why?" Aokiji asked curiously, "Is it because I'm closer to Tsunade?"

"That's just one reason. The most important thing is that you have something that other Uchiha clan members don't."

"What?"

"You're shameless."

Aokiji stared blankly, feeling offended.

Elder Itachi said proudly, "The Uchiha clan is a proud and warlike race. I think they would definitely refuse a mission like this without hesitation."

He paused, then looked at her with a prejudiced gaze: "As for you, you should have accepted this kind of mission. After all, Tsunade is quite beautiful, and in a few years she should be a great beauty, which suits your taste perfectly. Given your personality, you shouldn't have objected. I never expected you to change my opinion of you."

Aokiji: ...

Elder Itachi continued, "But since you have no idea, then forget it."

"In the end, we Uchiha clan still prefer to let strength speak for itself. Although we have temporarily achieved peace with Kumogakure, I believe this peace will not last long. History is cyclical."

"War will soon be coming. When that time comes, you should perform well in the war. Once the people in the village have witnessed the strength of the Uchiha, I think they will gradually eliminate their estrangement. If you are lucky, with your outstanding contributions on the battlefield, you might even be able to become a Hokage and help your clan integrate into the village."

After listening, Aokiji thought to himself that Elder Itachi was just like that Itachi, so naive about whether the village would accept the Uchiha.

Given his experience surviving from the Warring States period, he shouldn't be so naive.

Could it be that because the founding of Konoha Village brought hard-won peace, he cherishes it all the more?

I've heard that people become more conservative as they get older.

Aokiji thought about it and realized that this was possible.
