The name "Senju Clan" seems to have not been heard for a long time, and this clan seems to be a clan that existed in history long ago.
And all lost glory has one characteristic in common, that is, it is no longer glory.
The First Hokage, the Second Hokage and the Senju clan were once the pillars and cornerstones of Konoha. However, with the deaths of the two Hokage and the Senju clan's disappearance for several years, the clan's influence on the Hidden Leaf Village has declined to the point where it is just a background board.
As a result, the halo of "Princess Senju" that had always shrouded Tsunade began to slowly dissipate. In the past few years, her identity changed from the most noble descendant of the Senju clan to that of an ordinary girl.
After all, the person who is now in charge of Konoha is the Third Hokage. Tsunade, as a disciple of the Third Hokage, is not "insignificant", but her status and position are beginning to be on par with Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Although this status is still much higher than that of ordinary ninjas, compared to Tsunade's original position during the first and second generations...she was high in the clouds at that time, but now she is more "down to earth".
Perhaps as time goes by, because of Tsunade's unrivaled medical ninjutsu in the ninja world, her identity and status will once again be important in Konoha.
From childhood to adulthood, her reputation will go through a "U"-shaped curve as she grows older. Although both ends of this curve are high, the two are ultimately different.
The former was brought to Tsunade by the Senju clan, and the latter was brought by Tsunade herself.
Tsunade nowadays is no longer the center of attention like she was in previous years, and her life is becoming more and more like that of an ordinary ninja - training, doing medical research and going on missions.
But in Hanyu's view, these are not bad things.
Or to put it more simply, Hanyu thinks this is a very good thing... probably no one will use Tsunade's identity to make a fuss anymore.
Thinking about Tsunade's changes, Hanyu's gaze involuntarily turned to her beside him.
"What are you looking at?"
Perhaps Tsunade noticed that Hanyu was staring at her in a trance, and seemed to be getting more excited, so she interrupted her.
How can you stare at someone straight like that?
In the darkness of the night, Tsunade lowered her head slightly, then reached out and pulled the golden hair at her temples.
"Look at you... uh, I didn't see anything." Hanyu held back his words and almost said "look at your development."
"Hey, we're almost at Konoha Hospital, let's hurry up and walk a few steps."
Awkward topic change.
Hanyu carried Shiko on his back, with Tsunade beside him, and soon the three of them arrived at the Konoha Hospital.
Next, Shiko was sent directly to the ward, where she was registered, diagnosed, admitted, and given an IV drip, all in one go... There was nothing she could do about it, this is how people with connections work.
After all, Shiko's condition is not complicated. To put it bluntly, it is just overwork. Therefore, the best treatment for her is to let her rest for a while.
After making arrangements with Shiko, Tsunade, who had always been Hanyu's attending physician, checked Hanyu's physical condition as usual after she returned from her mission.
"From the erosion marks on your body, Hanyu, your condition has not deteriorated during this period of time. I have to say, this is a good sign."
Tsunade mainly checked the most obvious erosion mark left on Hanyu's shoulder, which was like a black birthmark. The good thing was that it didn't seem to expand again.
"Of course. I am well aware of the serious situation I am facing, so I have been strictly following your medical advice for several years - I have never used those forbidden techniques again." Hanyu explained seriously as he put on his shirt again.
However, this was bullshit, he was obviously lying, he had used his forbidden technique not long ago, and more than once.
"That's good. However, I haven't found a way to fundamentally solve your physical problem yet, so you have to continue to be patient for a while."
After hearing what Tsunade said, Hanyu wanted to explain that he had been preparing to perform some kind of "self-sealing" recently, but after thinking about it, he still endured it.
There was no need to explain this kind of thing in advance. Once the sealing technique was actually completed, Tsunade would naturally understand it , and it would be much clearer than just explaining it verbally.
"What do you want to say?"
Tsunade noticed that Hanyu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"If I could eradicate the erosion problem, I would be invincible… but this is a serious situation after all, so don't be in a hurry, just take your time," Hanyu said.
But the first half of his sentence was quite flattering. It was just that there was no big problem with this statement. Anyway, there were only two or three big cats and small cats in the ninja world now. In most cases, for Hanyu who could already use the Nine-Tails Chakra, self-protection would definitely be no problem.
"You are too optimistic. A ninja should never forget to be cautious under any circumstances..." Tsunade took the rare opportunity to criticize Hanyu.
"By the way, Shiko is just overworked, and as the one who put such , you should avoid coming here during the time she is in the hospital... In a sense, your face can bring a certain psychological shadow to others."
Little Tsunade seemed still a little wary, so she started an extreme one-for-one exchange.
Hanyu doesn't need to see patients, so doesn't that mean he can't see the doctor either?
Hanyu: "…"
He was a little confused. How could someone talk like that? He thought to himself, my face is quite normal, how could it cause pressure to others?
"Is this a doctor's order? Why does it sound a bit unreliable? Logically speaking, shouldn't I be more concerned about my subordinates who are overworked during the mission?"
Well, what Hanyu said is right and makes sense.
But Tsunade is a doctor.
"Then try not to come here as much as possible... It's already quite late. If there is nothing else, you can leave now."
Hanyu blinked his eyes. Why were they trying to chase people away? What was going on?
Could it be that someone has accomplished the feat of stealing the tower right under my nose?
It seems unlikely.
Or...is this the legendary feeling of tacit understanding of "what does it matter if we are together day and night"?
But that's a bit too self-satisfied.
It has to be said that Hanyu's two ideas are too polarized. While he was silently studying Tsunade's deep psychology, he had unknowingly left Konoha Hospital.
But in fact, what is there to study? It's late, this is Konoha Hospital, and Tsunade still has to deal with Shikou's treatment, so why don't those idle people leave quickly? What are they doing here? Can they help or what?
Or... maybe I want to stay in the hospital a little longer?
Hanyu was shocked.
No, no, no, he quickly shook his head.
Well, Hanyu Ame has always been a noble person who is away from vulgar tastes. How could he have such thoughts in his subconscious?
Isn't that perverted?
She is still a child.
…
On the other side, Tsunade was leaning against the window, watching Hanyu leave, and only turned back when his back completely disappeared.
At this moment, she unconsciously clenched her fists tightly, and even her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.
In fact, the erosion problem on Hanyu is still getting worse, but the degree has slowed down a little compared to before. However, in order to reassure Hanyu, Tsunade did not tell the actual situation.
And more importantly, she has not found a solution so far.
Tsunade was a little impatient because of her own powerlessness. She was even worried that she could not control her emotions, so she let Hanyu leave first.
So Hanyu is a bit stupid here. Why didn't he tell Tsunade about the seal in advance? Is it necessary to talk about "safety" for someone who cares about his condition?
