Xin gave her an appraising look and replied, "It's not something you'd say to a girl, sure. But you're a grown woman now. Why are you still pretending to be some young kid? You know how old you are, don't you?"
You're in your twenties. Stop acting like a teenager.
"USAGI XINI!!!"
Tsunade's piercing scream echoed across the village, startling even the Anbu on duty.
"That sounded like Lady Tsunade... coming from Usagi Xin's place."
"It's from over there, huh? Let's check somewhere else. No need to get involved-Lady Tsunade can handle it herself."
Sure, it was the middle of the night, and disturbing the peace wasn't exactly allowed.
But it mattered who was causing the disturbance, and why.
The Anbu thought it was best to stay far away. Just from the sound of her voice, they could tell Tsunade was furious.
Anyone who tried getting involved now would only end up regretting it.
"Ahem, my bad. I shouldn't have called you old." Xin coughed and rubbed his face.
Women were all the same-mention their age, and they explode.
"You're still talking!" Tsunade glared at him.
Xin waved the white flag. "Alright, alright. You're young. Full of youth and vitality. Happy now?"
After a bit of back-and-forth, Tsunade finally calmed down and started thinking.
Xin didn't rush her, instead heading back into the kitchen to clean up.
When he returned, Tsunade looked up at him and asked, "Do I really need to become the Fourth Hokage to change all of this?"
"If you want to make a lasting change, that's the only way."
Xin got serious, laying out his reasoning for Tsunade. "You already know the village'sstance toward the Uchiha."
"I do."
"My grandfather had a lot of issues with the Uchiha, and after Madara Uchiha's attack, it only got worse."
"And aside from Madara, have the Uchiha ever actually done anything to hurt the village?"
"Uh..." Tsunade paused for a moment and then shook her head. "No, not really."
"Then why do you think the higher-ups are still targeting them?"
"Because..."
"Power?"
Tsunade wasn't naïve. She knew the realities of the situation, but it wasn't something she liked to dwell on.
Her teacher, the Third Hokage, was part of the higher-ups. And their stance toward the Uchiha was inherited from her great-uncle, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
"They weren't the ones who started this-it all came from Tobirama.
"Exactly. It's all about power."
Were the Uchiha being treated unfairly? Absolutely. Though they had a reputation for being overly emotional, the clan had done little to harm the village.
But that didn't matter to the higher-ups. What had started as a cautious attitude toward the Uchiha under Tobirama had evolved into outright persecution.
It was all about securing their grip on power, uniting the village under their control.
"In other words, Konoha is sick. And the only way to cure it is to cut out the rot."
"And to do that, someone new has to take the reins."
