From Hokage to Visionary

Cruelty and coldness were like a thick layer of ice, protecting her fragile heart. Anger and hatred were like hard armor and sharp swords, protecting her fragile self-esteem.

But she still longs for redemption.

The more one is in darkness, the more one desires light.

It is like a straw placed in front of a drowning person in the vast and rough ocean. Even if he knows that he cannot be saved, he will still grab the straw desperately.

The girl's wavering heart finally made up her mind at this moment.

She wanted to grasp that straw, grasp that ray of light.

Just like a moth that flies towards the flame, even though she knows the end is to be burned to ashes, but at least before that, she can feel the warmth brought by the 'flame'.

"Can I follow you?"

The girl tugged at the tattered corner of her clothes and asked timidly.

Her cautious eyes contained a hint of expectation, as well as deep fear, like an abandoned wild cat, wanting to be taken home but also afraid of being rejected again.

Uchiha Sogetsu stared at the girl and read dependence in her eyes.

After a moment, under the increasingly uneasy gaze of the girl, he smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Everything was just as he expected.

The more people desire redemption, the easier it is for them to be manipulated and exploited.

Just like people who are about to die of thirst in the desert, just giving them a little bit of water can nourish their dry and exhausted hearts, and the price they need to pay is nothing more than the extremely cheap "hope".

"Light"

The girl mustered up her courage, pulled his sleeve, lowered her head and whispered.

"what?"

Uchiha Sogetsu didn't hear clearly because her voice was too soft, like a mosquito.

"Light"

The girl raised her head, tears uncontrollably streaming down her delicate face, her nose twitching as she sobbed, "My name is Uchiha Hikaru!"

Chapter 26 Tsunade: The new disciple I accepted is my grandmother. Do you love her?

"Shh, it hurts."

Tsunade rubbed her swollen temples and slowly opened her eyes. She felt sore all over, as if she had been beaten.

Looking at the unfamiliar hotel, she looked confused. "Huh? Why am I here? I remember, but my head hurts, I can't remember."

Just as she was wondering why she woke up in the hotel, the door suddenly opened.

"You came just in time. I was just looking for you. Eh? Who is she?"

Uchiha Sogetsu walked in. Tsunade was about to ask something when she caught a glimpse of a pretty girl following behind him. She looked only twelve or thirteen years old. She had long black hair tied into a high ponytail and was wearing a black dress. She was extremely well-behaved.

"Hey, Lady Tsunade, you're finally awake."

Uchiha Sogetsu raised his eyebrows and said expressionlessly: "If you don't wake up, I will doubt whether you are dead."

"Uh." Tsunade heard the hint of sarcasm in the boy's tone, touched her nose, and felt inexplicably guilty. She cautiously asked, "Did I drink?"

"what do you think?"

Uchiha Sogetsu curled his lips and said, "There's such a strong smell of alcohol in the room, can't you smell it at all?"

"Cough cough."

Tsunade coughed twice and felt even more uneasy. She muttered, "People who drink alcohol can't smell the alcohol."

But as she spoke, she felt something was wrong. She stared at the delicate girl and said in confusion, "No, kid, I remember we went to Morijian, didn't I? Why did I go drinking? What happened in between? Why don't I remember anything at all?"

"Tsunade-sama, why don't you think about it carefully?" Uchiha Munetsuki glanced at Guang beside him inconspicuously, and then said: "After we went to Morijian to repair the seal, you dragged me to celebrate and got drunk."

Tsunade tried hard to recall.

Sure enough, that memory appeared in her mind.

After repairing the seal, he felt depressed for a moment, so he pulled Zong Yue without saying anything and said he wanted to go and vent.

Then the two of them went to a nearby entertainment street, got drunk in a bar, and even got drunk and smashed up someone's shop.

“Red Bean Smi Masai!”

Tsunade knew she was in the wrong and apologized decisively: "I promise, I will never drink again next time, um, this mission."

"Haha, I hope so." Uchiha Sogetsu expressed his doubt.

"Hehe, kid, don't get hung up on little things, or girls will hate you~"

Tsunade quickly changed the subject and looked at the well-behaved girl, who looked familiar to her: "By the way, who is she?"

"Oh, her name is 'Light', she's your new disciple after you got drunk last night." Uchiha Sogetsu paused, and in front of Tsunade's shocked gaze, he ripped open his clothes and added, "By the way, I was just trying to advise you not to make a hasty decision, but ended up getting punched dozens of meters away."

"I'm not that violent, am I?"

Tsunade looked at the obvious bruises on the boy's chest and felt even more uneasy.

Although she had no memory of it, faced with such direct evidence, she was not sure whether she had really done it.

"Well, it really wasn't that violent. It was just a few streets."

Uchiha Sogetsu put on his clothes, pushed up the frame of his glasses, and said with a twitch of his mouth: "If I hadn't been lucky last night, you would probably have to hold a funeral for me today."

"How many streets?!"

Tsunade's eyes widened, and her sexy red lips opened wide enough to swallow a goose egg.

"Haha, not much, just three streets." Uchiha Munetsuki sneered, "It's just three million taels. I have already sent the bill to the Hokage, including my medical expenses."

As he said this, he did not forget to add: "I have finally seen the Yin Seal of Princess Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas. It really opened my eyes."

"Red bean, red bean, red bean. Simimasa!" This time, Tsunade didn't even have the idea of ​​quibbling, and she just got up from her seat in a standard manner: "Mun Yue, please forgive me, I didn't mean it!"

She felt that some of the chakra stored in the Yin Seal had indeed been released.

"Forget it. I'm fine anyway."

Uchiha Munetsuki sighed, unwilling to dwell on the matter: "Regarding the matter of 'Light', what are you going to do? Are you going to go back on your word? After all, you were drunk last night."

"hiss"

Tsunade clenched her teeth and felt a severe headache.

What happened? Not to mention that he destroyed three streets while drunk and almost killed Uchiha Sogetsu, why did he accept a disciple?

"Tsunade-sama, you don't have to worry about it."

Uchiha Hikaru, who had been silent for a long time, bit his lips and twisted his hands together after hearing these words. He looked at her timidly, tears welling up in his eyes. He suppressed his grievances and said pitifully in a low voice: "I am the one who caused you trouble. I... I will leave now."

At the end of his speech, Guang sobbed quietly, and his poor little face was covered with tears.

Poor kid.

Tsunade was soft-hearted to begin with, and she was the one who was in the wrong first. Now seeing the pitiful appearance of the girl, it touched the softness in her heart. She gritted her teeth and slapped her thigh: "No, absolutely no, I keep my word. From today on, you are my disciple!"

"Really?" Guang covered his lips, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Are you really willing to accept me as your disciple?"

"Of course it's true!"

Tsunade patted her chest and said briskly: "From today on, you are my first disciple!"

Guang threw herself towards Tsunade, sobbing, "Guang has a master now, Guang also has a master, it's great, wuwuwu."

"Silly boy, why are you crying?"

Tsunade stroked the girl's hair and held her in her arms, with a gentle kindness in her eyes: "With Master here, no one will bully you in the future."

What a heartwarming scene.

Uchiha Sogetsu, who directed all of this, couldn't help but admire in his heart that Guang was indeed a natural "audience".

From expressions to movements, even every look and the tone of every word, everything was carefully designed by him, targeting Tsunade's psychological weaknesses and perfectly taking advantage of her sympathy and apology.

Of course, Guang's eye technique was indispensable, using the Eight Thousand Spears to tamper with Tsunade's memory.

In this way, he gave Uchiha Hikaru a new identity.

The legendary three ninjas, the princess of the Senju clan, Tsunade-hime's first disciple, the successor to the founder of the medical ninjutsu system, the legendary big fat sheep... and so on.

Even looking at the entire Konoha, there are only a few people who dare to touch her.

However, Uchiha Sogetsu suddenly thought of a problem that seemed very serious for Tsunade and him.

Logically speaking, when Uchiha Hikaru was born, even the first Hokage was still a child.

If you calculate it this way.

Shouldn't Tsunade call her disciple "grandma"? !

October 12.12th, sunny

Chapter 27: Battle in the Rain

Ever since we set foot in the territory of the Rain Country, it has been cloudy and rainy for several days.

Tsunade wrapped herself in her raincoat, looked at the overcast sky through her hat, and couldn't help complaining, "I haven't been here for many years, but the Rain Country is still so annoying. It rains endlessly. I really don't know how the people here live."

"Lady Tsunade, do we really not need to hide?"

Uchiha Munetsuki put on his ANBU mask again, looked around with some caution, and lowered his voice deliberately: "If we are discovered by Hanzo, I'm afraid..."

The reason why they appear in the Rain Country.

It was simply because the last sealed location marked on the scroll was within the territory of the Rain Country.

As a ninja from another country, stepping into the territory of Rain Village is a very dangerous thing.

You know, the leader of the Rain Village at that time, Hanzo of the Salamander, was able to defeat the young generation of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.

If it weren't for the huge gap between the ninja villages, I'm afraid these three people would have died here.

Hanzo bestowed the name "Three Ninjas of Konoha" on them, which made them famous in the ninja world and accompanied them throughout their lives.

"Hey, no need to hide." Tsunade waved her hand carelessly, saying nonchalantly, "Besides, hiding is useless. Since we set foot in the Rain Country, it's only a matter of time before Hanzo finds us. Instead of that, it's better to walk in openly, so that the old man won't dare to act rashly."

"Are you sure?"

Uchiha Sogetsu expressed his doubts.

"What else?" Tsunade glanced at him and sneered, "If Hanzo was really that tough, he wouldn't have let the three of us leave in the first place."

There was a hint of resentment in her tone.

As if she knew that her credibility was a bit of a problem with the Uchiha brat, she explained, "Don't worry, there is no direct conflict between Konoha and Rain Village. Hanzo is a mature politician and will not rashly provoke a war. It is the safest thing for us to appear in the Rain Country openly."

Uchiha Munetsuki frowned: "But if we are in the open, how can we avoid Hanzo's sight and check the seal location?"

"Why avoid it?"

Tsunade took out a piece of candy from her bosom, took off her coat and handed it to Guang beside her: "Here~ Eat a piece of candy, it will warm you up."

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade!" Guang took the candy with both hands and put it into his mouth carefully.

The sweet taste seemed to penetrate into her heart, making her squint her eyes.

"Just tell Hanzo directly." Tsunade clapped her hands and sneered, "Even if he knew, what can he do? Would he dare to move the seal even if he had ten times the courage? It's not that I look down on Hanzo, but precisely because he is a mature politician and knows the current situation of Rain Village, he will not offend us easily."

The mature politician Uchiha Sogetsu looked at Tsunade strangely, feeling that her words seemed to be mocking more than just Hanzo.

"Here~" Tsunade pointed to the front and said, "Look, someone is here to greet us."

As soon as he finished speaking, he could already see the person opposite him. He was wearing a forehead protector from the Rain Village and was coming towards him respectfully.

"Lady Tsunade, Chief Hanzo asked me to say hello to you."

The leading ninja showed great respect, but there was a deep hatred in his eyes. He said nervously: "In order to avoid diplomatic problems, please tell me what is your purpose in coming to Rain Village?"
