"That place has been swallowed by darkness!"

Chapter 141 Tsunade, let the Senju and Uchiha join forces again!

Tsunade did not refute Yuzuru Uchiha's point of view, but simply remained silent and drank.

Seeing her appearance, Uchiha Yuzuru had already anticipated it.

In the original story, Jiraiya once said something like, "If you betray the village, I will kill you."

This shows that Tsunade's dissatisfaction with Konoha was something almost everyone knew.

Because she was outnumbered and powerless, or because she couldn't bring herself to do it, and realizing that she couldn't change anything, she could only choose to leave Konoha and wander the ninja world.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzuru took the initiative to say, "Tsunade, come with me."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then looked at Uchiha Yuzuru and asked, "What do you mean?"

Uchiha Yuzuru laughed and said, "The current Konoha has long since deviated from its original purpose when it was founded. Let our Uchiha clan and Senju clan join forces again and make Konoha the way we want it to be."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade said coldly, "Are you asking me to betray my teacher?"

“No, no, no…” Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head and corrected, “It’s not that you betrayed your teacher, it’s that your teacher betrayed you long ago.”

"The Senju clan has a history of thousands of years and has survived countless wars to remain a powerful clan in the ninja world. However, it disappeared almost entirely within a few short years after Hiruzen Sarutobi took office. You should know better than me how many members of the Senju clan are left."

"And the people around you are dying one by one, and each time their injuries are so severe that even you, the best medical ninja in the ninja world, can't save them in time..."

"From being the pampered princess of Konoha to now wandering alone in the ninja world, is all of this really just a coincidence?"

"You treat him as a teacher, but he doesn't treat you as a disciple."

Upon hearing what Uchiha Yuzuru said, Tsunade's mind involuntarily recalled some past events she didn't want to remember.

The horrifying images made her body tremble uncontrollably.

She lowered her head unconsciously and murmured in rebuttal, "You also said that I always lose when I gamble. Maybe I'm just like this cursed necklace, a jinx, and anyone who gets close to me will suffer misfortune."

Suddenly, Tsunade saw a hand reach up to her chest and rip the necklace off her neck.

She looked up and saw that Uchiha Yuzuru had already put the necklace around his neck.

Tsunade asked, puzzled, "W-what do you want to do?"

Uchiha Yuzuru placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and brought his face close to Tsunade's. He said earnestly, "Stop running away. We are the rightful heirs of Konoha. We must represent the Senju and Uchiha clans and join forces to reclaim everything that belongs to us."

"Even if this necklace really brings bad luck, I will break its curse with my own hands!"

Tsunade stood there, stunned, staring at the confident smile so close to her. The image of Nawaki from years ago involuntarily flashed through her mind…

If Rope Tree hadn't died, it would probably be around the same age now.

"Lady Tsunade, I've finally found you."

The door to the private room was pushed open, and Shizune rushed in, panting, carrying Ton-Ton: "Lady Tsunade, did you gamble away your last bit of money again...?"

The silent sound abruptly stopped.

Lady Tsunade and a handsome young man were staring at each other, their faces almost touching.

Moreover, around the man's neck was the necklace that Lady Tsunade cherished most...

Shizune covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, staring at the scene before her in disbelief.

The baby in my arms was sleeping soundly when it suddenly fell to the ground, letting out a pitiful howl.

Tsunade, having regained her senses, asked somewhat flusteredly, "Shizune, what brings you here?"

Shizune first looked at Tsunade, then at Uchiha Yuzuru, and bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry, I... I didn't mean to disturb you."

After saying that, he tried to carry Tun Tun away from the private room.

Seeing that Shizune had misunderstood, Tsunade got up, pulled her back, and closed the door to the private room.

After a while, Shizune finally understood what had happened.

"So... Lady Tsunade, you invited Uchiha Yuzuru to dinner because he shared half of the money he won at the casino with you?"

Shizune looked at Tsunade and laughed, "I thought Lady Tsunade had suddenly decided to fall in love. I was so scared."

Tsunade snorted coldly: "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long? Even if I, Tsunade-hime, die outside or jump off a cliff, I will never fall in love with an Uchiha brat."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune glanced at Uchiha Yuzuru and reminded him, "Lady Tsunade, it's extremely rude of you to speak like that."

Tsunade shrugged nonchalantly: "It's alright, this guy wasn't polite to me either at the casino."

Hearing Tsunade say that, Shizune could only smile helplessly: "But seeing money come back from the casino is a first in all these years."

"Shizune!" Tsunade, her sore spot hit, glared at Shizune with displeasure.

Shizune chuckled to herself and asked curiously, "I already know how you two met, but how did your necklace end up on Uchiha Yuzuru, Lady Tsunade?"

Tsunade took a sip of her drink: "He stole it himself."

"Huh?!" Shizune opened her mouth wide in surprise, feeling as if the world before her eyes was suddenly a little unreal.

Given Tsunade's temperament, after having her most treasured necklace stolen, she actually sat down and drank with the person who stole it...

That's so fake!

Seeing Shizune's confused look, Uchiha Yuzuru said, "I plan to invite Tsunade to go to Kumogakure with me. The Senju clan will once again join forces with the Uchiha clan to create a new order in the ninja world."

Shizune froze for a moment, looking at Tsunade in disbelief: "Lady Tsunade, are you going to Kumogakure?"

Although they had been traveling the ninja world, in Shizune's heart, she and Tsunade had always been ninjas of Konoha.

Being able to sit and eat with a Konoha rogue ninja like Uchiha Yuzuru is already a very improper thing to do, but the other party actually wants them to betray Konoha as well?

Tsunade shook her head: "That's just wishful thinking on his part. I didn't agree to it."

Shizune breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Tsunade's answer.

Before she could say anything, Uchiha Yuzuru spoke again: "Tsunade, after you come to Kumogakure, we will hire you as a medical consultant, with a monthly salary of one million ryo."

"I believe that with your abilities, Princess Tsunade, you will definitely be able to establish an advanced and excellent medical system in Kumogakure."

Upon hearing this, Shizune couldn't help but retort, "Lady Tsunade grew up in Konoha and is the apple of Konoha's eye. She would never betray Konoha. I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea..."

Before Shizune could finish speaking, Tsunade pulled her behind her and smiled at Uchiha Yuzuru, "Yuzuru, you have a good eye for people!"

Chapter 142 Are We Now the Rightful Heroes of Konoha?

"Tsunade-sama?!"

Shizune was unaware of the previous conversation between Uchiha Yuzuru and Tsunade, so she was shocked to see Tsunade agree to Uchiha Yuzuru's request.

It's important to know that Lady Tsunade is not only a princess of the Senju clan, but also the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage, and the current Third Hokage's personal disciple.

In this ninja world, is there any Konoha ninja with a more righteous lineage than Lady Tsunade?

She simply couldn't imagine Tsunade becoming a Konoha rogue ninja.

Seeing Shizune's shocked expression, Tsunade patiently explained, "Shizune, it's one million ryo every month, which is equivalent to the reward for an S-rank mission."

"We can earn twelve million taels a year, and we'll never have to worry about money again."

She didn't feel much about money when she was in Konoha, but after so many years of wandering the ninja world, Tsunade knows all too well how important money is.

Now that she has a job with a monthly salary of one million taels of silver in front of her, she has to consider whether this is the only opportunity she will ever have in her life.

Definitely not to be missed!

"Shizune, you know I have hemophobia, so I can no longer make money as a ninja."

"We are in debt to all the countries in the ninja world, and now is the time to start a new life."

"If you don't want to go to Kumogakure, you can go back to Konoha and continue your life there."

Shizune, who was still hesitant, immediately teared up after hearing Tsunade's words: "Lady Tsunade, no matter where you go, I will always be by your side."

Seeing Shizune's state, Tsunade quickly wiped away her tears: "Then come with me to Kumogakure."

Jingyin quickly replied, "Yes."

Hearing their conversation, Uchiha Yuzuru continued eating his grilled meat.

Tsunade probably didn't want Shizune to know too much about the darkness, so she deliberately kept many things from her, and naturally, he wouldn't say anything more.

However, in any case, being able to persuade Tsunade was already an unexpected bonus.

Raikage's office.

The Third Raikage stared at Tsunade beside Yuzuru Uchiha, his mouth agape in astonishment.

After a long while, he stammered, "Yuzuru, this, this, this is Tsunade?"

"Tsunade from Konoha?"

"Tsunade, the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and the student of the Third Hokage?"

Uchiha Yuzuru chuckled, "It's the real deal. You're the Raikage, why are you so surprised?"

The Third Raikage looked at Uchiha Yuzuru with a somewhat speechless expression.

Of course it is!

Looking across the entire ninja world, I'm afraid anyone who hears this news would be shocked.

It was somewhat understandable that Uchiha Yuzuru had previously brought back Sakumo Hatake, Might Guy, and others, but now he's even managed to bring back someone of Tsunade's stature...

The Third Raikage thought his mental fortitude was strong enough, but he still felt a little unreal.

"Hey! Uchiha Yuzuru promised me he'd give me a million ryo a month, you can't go back on your word."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, the Third Raikage immediately replied, "No problem. In addition to your monthly salary of one million ryo, I'll give you an extra eight million ryo at the end of each year!"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up: "You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word!"

"Hahahaha..." The Third Raikage laughed a few times. "I'll have someone write you a contract later."

"Also, there are less than ten days left in this month, but I will pay you your salary as if you were paid for a full month."

Tsunade is recognized as the most outstanding medical ninja in the ninja world. Almost no one can compare to her in terms of healing, saving lives, and detoxification.

They also ingeniously pioneered the medical ninja system, which greatly reduced the casualty rate of ninjas.

In addition to his own immense power and the added advantages of his various identities...

Paying only 20 million ryo per year to keep such a ninja in Kumogakure is an incredibly good deal!

Like the Third Raikage, Tsunade was also in a great mood.

She originally thought that the other party would try to bargain with her after hearing the promise that Uchiha Yuzuru made to her, but she didn't expect that the other party would not only agree to it directly, but also give her an extra eight million ryo every year.

And they've started paying salaries in full this month...

The Third Raikage was a bit of a surprise to her.

"Tutai! Tutai!"

The Third Raikage called out a few times, and Tsuchida hurriedly walked in.

The moment he saw Tsunade, his mind went completely blank and he froze on the spot.

The woman in front of me is not Tsunade from Konoha. How did she end up here?

"Tsuchidai, go find Tsunade a bigger house right now, and also set up an account for her and deposit one million ryo into it."

"From now on, Tsunade will be a ninja of our Hidden Cloud Village."

"Huh?!?!" Tsuchikage wondered for a moment if he had misheard. Otherwise, why would he hear the Third Raikage say that Tsunade was a ninja from Kumogakure?

"Look at you, so pathetic." The Third Raikage slapped Tsuchikage on the back of the head and urged, "Do as I say first, and I'll explain the rest to you later."

"Yes, I understand." Although he didn't know what had happened, Tsuchida didn't dare to delay and quickly said, "Lady Tsunade, this way please."

After Tsuchikage left with Tsunade and Shizune, the Third Raikage patted Uchiha Yuzuru hard on the shoulder: "Good lad, at this rate, I feel like Kumogakure is about to become the legitimate successor to Konoha."

Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "This was originally my plan."

"Huh?" the Third Raikage exclaimed in surprise. "What plan?"

Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and slowly said, "Now that the Senju and Uchiha clans have joined forces again, all we need to do is find an opportunity to win over the other ninja clans in Konoha, and then taking back Konoha will become a perfectly legitimate matter."

"By then, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, will be the heretic. He will become a laughingstock in the ninja world and be forever nailed to the pillar of shame. Other villages will have no reason to take advantage of our attack on Konoha."
