"So this is the 'excitement' you give me?"

Tsunade sat in her office, her face expressionless, staring at Rong Lin, who looked completely unconcerned.

Every month there are those few days; it's best not to mind. At least, that's what Rong Lin thought.

"Should I have crippled those people first before throwing them out?"

Rong Lin muttered to himself, pinching his chin. Tsunade's stern face instantly lost control, or more accurately, she was angered into a laugh. She slammed the table fiercely, sending the documents on it flying high:

"Cripple them first? Do you know what those old geezers think of me?"

"'Princess Tsunade, this is your fault. How can you teach your disciple like this?'"

"'To treat even your own people like this is truly improper.'"

Tsunade, using a peculiar tone, mimicked the words those old geezers in her mouth had said. Her expression and tone almost made Rong Lin burst out laughing.

He hadn't expected Tsunade to have such a comical side, though it seemed to have appeared in the original story as well, like when she hugged Hinata to compare that thing's size, making Hinata so embarrassed she almost turned into a cooked shrimp.

When Rong Lin saw that part, he almost died laughing.

"A bunch of annoying fellows."

Rubbing her forehead, Tsunade looked up. "Fortunately, you still know some restraint and didn't go too overboard. However, I heard you were looking for people everywhere to hit you. What's that all about?"

Too many people had been thrown out by Rong Lin, many of whom were ninjas from Konoha itself. Naturally, some information would spread among these people, and one rather strange piece of information was that Rong Lin was like a madman, looking for people everywhere to hit him.

Rong Lin shrugged with a smile and said, "It's nothing, just wanted to try out a special ability, that's all. I also didn't... Holy crap!!"

Before Rong Lin could finish speaking, a fist enlarged in his vision, and its speed was extremely fast. This was Tsunade's office; no one would dare to cause trouble here. So, the one attacking him could only be Tsunade herself!!

Rong Lin considered himself fast, but compared to Tsunade, he was still far too lacking!

Coupled with the sneak attack, Rong Lin couldn't react at all. Dodging was impossible. As for blocking, Rong Lin was certain that by the time he raised his hands, Tsunade's fist would have already smashed into his face.

How great Tsunade's strength was, Rong Lin had tasted it countless times during special training. That taste made one want to... ascend to nirvana and die, unforgettable for a lifetime.

His brain spun rapidly, and the chakra within Rong Lin's body burned wildly. "Open for me!!!"

The power of time erupted to its maximum extent.

"Huh!!"

Tsunade let out a slight exclamation. She found her body slowing down, as if an irresistible force was controlling everything around her. While puzzled, the power within Tsunade's body instantly erupted again, forcefully breaking through this force and landing a punch on Rong Lin.

And in that fleeting moment, Rong Lin had already raised his arms to block Tsunade's attack.

"BOOM!!!"

A human-shaped imprint appeared on the wall of Tsunade's office. If this wall hadn't been specially reinforced, it might have collapsed directly.

Rubble fell, dust filled the air, and a series of screams came from outside.

"Cough cough!! Tsunade, are you crazy??!"

Rong Lin couldn't believe Tsunade would suddenly attack him, and with a sneak attack at that! This was too shameless!

Fortunately, his reaction was quick, otherwise, it would have been tragic. He would definitely have gone out with a black eye, or perhaps even worse.

"So this is the special ability you mentioned? Very bizarre!"

Tsunade's face was calm, as if she hadn't done any of that just now, not minding it in the slightest, which made Rong Lin unable to stop himself from rolling his eyes repeatedly.

"Well, sort of."

"Sort of..."

"You don't need to tell me. It's fine as long as you know it in your heart."

Tsunade raised her hand, interrupting Rong Lin, walked to the door, and said loudly, "No need to panic. It was just a test I was conducting on Uchiha Rong Lin. Get someone to repair this."

"Yes! Lady Tsunade."

Several Anbu ninjas, attracted by the screams, respectfully departed.

"I won't delve into the principles behind this ability of yours. I just hope you try not to display it casually, especially before you've mastered it."

Returning to the office, Tsunade sat in her chair, poured herself another cup of tea, took a small sip, looked up, and asked, "By the way, Uchiha Fugaku sought you out?"

"Mm, this time it was a rather obvious probing. He wants to meet me."

"Then what are your thoughts?"

"No major thoughts. I just want to know how Uchiha Fugaku will persuade me, that's all. For me, whether I join the Uchiha clan at this time is no longer important."

"That's true."

Nodding, she put down her cup. Tsunade sighed and gestured for Rong Lin to sit down himself.

"Nowadays, the situation in the village is becoming increasingly delicate. Some of the village's actions might lead to dissatisfaction from the entire Uchiha clan. In the future, the conflicts might deepen, it's hard to say."

Whenever she thought about these problems, Tsunade felt a headache. Regarding the Uchiha, her thoughts weren't as extreme as her granduncle Tobirama Senju's. If possible, she would prefer the Uchiha to let go of everything and work together with other clans to strengthen Konoha.

"Where there are people, there will be strife. Contending for power and influence is also a major characteristic of humans, and also a direction for effort."

Rong Lin didn't have much interest in contending for power and influence, but he would still strive for it.

No interest doesn't mean it's not needed!

"What about you?"

Rong Lin's answer made Tsunade somewhat interested. As for the topic they were discussing earlier, Tsunade selectively forgot about it. Whether she was angry or not, what happened had happened and was still brewing. Moreover, Rong Lin hadn't done anything too excessive.

It was just that the act of throwing out fellow villagers might lead to some negative rumors about Rong Lin.

But if he couldn't even bear this, then what was the point of talking about genius, about growth?

"Me?!"

Rong Lin didn't expect Tsunade to ask such a gossipy question. After thinking for a moment, he still answered, "My pursuit is actually very simple. It's to find a woman who can conquer the world, and then I will conquer her. That way, I will have indirectly conquered the entire world. Don't you think my idea is very avant-garde?"

"....."

"Get out!!!"

A few seconds later, Tsunade, her face dark, directly blasted him out of the office.
