After exchanging pleasantries at the village entrance for a while, everyone dispersed.
Only Hyūga Sekijō asked Uchiha Ryun if he had time, as he wanted to host a meal to thank Ryun for saving his clan member and preventing their Byakugan from being leaked.
Uchiha Ryun waved his hand and said, "This is what the police force should do. It's my responsibility. Since Miss Fūrin came to seek help, I naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing."
Hyūga Sekijō took a deep look at Uchiha Ryun, then bowed deeply and said, "Ryun, we of the Hyūga clan will remember your hard work this time. If you ever need anything in the future, the Hyūga clan will not refuse!"
"It's nothing. As fellow clans of Konoha, we should help each other." Uchiha Ryun helped Hyūga Sekijō up.
Checking the time and seeing it was almost 4 p.m., Uchiha Ryun quickly said, "Clan Head Hyūga, let's talk another time. I have something very important to do!"
After saying that, Uchiha Ryun instantly disappeared from the spot. Hyūga Sekijō was stunned but didn't say anything, just nodded toward the village.
"Oh no, oh no, Tsunade must be getting impatient!" Uchiha Ryun's figure flickered rapidly, landing for less than 0.5 seconds before vanishing again.
Almost no one could see his figure. Moments later, he arrived at Konoha Hospital. Uchiha Ryun wiped his sweat.
It seemed Tsunade hadn't gotten off work yet. Uchiha Ryun looked at the hospital entrance—no one was there. He just sighed in relief when someone patted his shoulder from behind.
"Ryun, you're back? How was the mission? Smooth?" Tsunade smiled and handed Uchiha Ryun a skewer of tri-color dango.
Hearing her voice, Uchiha Ryun quickly turned around and saw Tsunade with her hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a fishnet outfit with a cropped white shirt over it and short shorts, her snow-white thighs exposed.
This sight made Uchiha Ryun gulp. 'Damn, testing my resolve like this? What kind of man could resist such a test?'
"Ryun? Ryun?" Tsunade called twice, but Uchiha Ryun remained dazed. Curious, she followed his gaze to her thighs.
Her face flushed red. "Pervert!"
Uchiha Ryun scratched his head and grinned. He didn't feel embarrassed—after all, they were a couple now. If he didn't show interest, wouldn't that be strange?
Tsunade handed her white coat to Uchiha Ryun, who took it, folded it, and draped it over his left arm. Then Tsunade looped her arm through his right and said softly, "Let's go, pervert!"
Uchiha Ryun nodded, and the two walked into the bustling crowd.
"Tsunade, how did you know I was on a mission earlier?" Uchiha Ryun suddenly remembered that Tsunade had asked if his mission went smoothly.
"Nara Seifū. He came to inform me not long after you left on the mission. So, did you bring the person back?" Tsunade looked at Uchiha Ryun's handsome face and smiled.
"Of course. When your man takes action, how could he fail?" Uchiha Ryun laughed, thinking to himself, 'The Nara clansmen are really outstanding, so good at helping their superiors.'
Tsunade nodded. "Tell me about what happened."
Uchiha Ryun agreed and recounted the details of the rescue.
Tsunade suddenly stepped in front of Uchiha Ryun, covering her mouth as she looked him up and down, checking for injuries. Only after confirming he was unharmed did she relax.
"You fought the Two-Tails Jinchūriki and almost captured her? That's amazing!" Tsunade's eyes sparkled.
She had heard about the strength of Jinchūriki. Each one was at least Kage-level in power. If pushed too far, the tailed beast could break the seal and manifest, surpassing even Kage-level strength!
To think her man was so powerful, subduing the Two-Tails Jinchūriki!
Uchiha Ryun waved his hand. "Not really. The Mangekyō Sharingan just has an advantage against tailed beasts." He pointed at his eyes.
"Are your eyes okay? I heard overusing the Mangekyō affects your vision," Tsunade said worriedly.
Uchiha Ryun smiled. "Don't worry, they're fine." He then took Tsunade's hand and placed it on his eyes, letting her touch them.
If other Uchiha clansmen saw this, their jaws might drop. What? Elder Ryun is letting a woman touch his Mangekyō?
The eyes of the Uchiha clan were not something just anyone could touch. Aside from close relatives, anyone who tried would be seen as an enemy!
Tsunade gently touched Uchiha Ryun's eyelids, then lowered her hand. "They're quite pretty. But promise me, don't push yourself too hard on missions. I don't want you getting hurt!"
Her tone was serious. If necessary, Uchiha Ryun didn't even have to take missions—she could support him! The Senju clan was wealthy, and the fortunes left by her grandfather and granduncle were enough for her and her future husband to live comfortably!
Pure Land
Tobirama Senju opened his eyes and sneezed. "What's going on? How can I sneeze when I'm already dead?"
Hashirama Senju approached him. "Tobirama, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I feel like someone's talking about me." Tobirama frowned. "It must be those damned Uchiha brats. If I weren't dead, I'd—ow! Brother!"
Tobirama glared at Hashirama, displeased.
Hashirama flicked his forehead. "Nonsense! What have the Uchiha ever done to you? 'Those damned Uchiha' this, 'those damned Uchiha' that. Did you target the Uchiha after I died?"
"Brother, I didn't!" Tobirama raised his hands, claiming he had been fair and just, never wronging the Uchiha.
Tobirama still felt like something bad was happening. He sighed and sat cross-legged on the ground. 'Whatever. Even if something is happening, I can't interfere anymore.'
Konoha
"Okay, I promise." Uchiha Ryun patted Tsunade's head and pulled her into a hug!
Tsunade's cheeks turned slightly red as she let out a soft hum. Her arms slowly wrapped around Uchiha Ryun, and the two smiled, savoring the warmth of each other's embrace.
After dinner, when Uchiha Ryun walked Tsunade home, Uzumaki Mito was already waiting at the Senju clan's gate.
"Grandma!" Tsunade let go of Uchiha Ryun's arm and ran to her grandmother.
Uzumaki Mito smiled kindly, then looked at Uchiha Ryun.
Uchiha Ryun also smiled and greeted, "Grandma!"
Uzumaki Mito nodded. "Tsuna, go inside first. I have something to say to Ryun."
Tsunade froze, looking worried, but Uzumaki Mito said, "I won't eat your man. Go back inside."
Uchiha Ryun also urged, "Yeah, Tsunade, go rest first."
With both of them saying so, Tsunade had no choice but to enter the clan grounds. However, she didn't go far, sneaking back after a few steps to eavesdrop.
Uzumaki Mito: "..."
Uchiha Ryun: "..."
