The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

The empty dojo was silent, with only cracks all over the floor and walls.

In the center of the dojo, Senju Xuan sat alone on the ground, panting, with sweat dripping down his face.

He rubbed the sore spots on his body and said helplessly, "Sister Tsunade is really merciless."

Not long ago, in this dojo, Princess Tsunade had a competition with Senju Gen in the name of a test.

In the diffuse mist, Senju Snow and Tsunade Princess soaked in a hot water pool.

This is a bathhouse in the Senju clan's territory.

The curtain at the entrance was lifted, and Jingyin walked in with a tray of food and wine.

"Tsunade-sama, Miss Yuki."

Shizune came to the pool, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Tsunade-hime.

Princess Tsunade took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then said, "I haven't seen Xuan for a few years, and I didn't expect that he has grown so much.

He should have reached the level of a jonin by now."

"Lady Tsunade, I'm afraid that an ordinary jonin might not be a match for Master Xuan."

Shizune, who witnessed the fight between Tsunade-hime and Senju Gen, smiled.

"Sister Tsunade, the family is now sparsely populated. Xuan must work hard to restore the reputation of the Senju."

Qian Shou Xue said.

Only a strand of long black hair was seen floating on the water in front of her chest, covering her snow-white hands.

Hearing this, a look of dejection flashed across Tsunade-hime's face.

She thought of her younger brother, Senju Nawaki, because Senju Nawaki's death meant the complete decline of the Senju clan.

So she simply reached out, grabbed the wine jug in front of Jingyin, and drank from it in one big gulp.

After a while, the wine in the flagon was drunk, and Tsunade's face was dyed with an abnormal crimson.

"Xue, during my fight with Xuan today, I found that many of his moves were very similar to Uchiha Yuan's."

Tsunade said with a blush on her face and a drunken look on her face.

"Yes, because Xuan has always been guided by Yuan Jun in his cultivation."

Qian Shouxue said nonchalantly.

"I see. It seems the relationship between you, Xuan, and Uchiha Yuan is deeper than I thought."

Princess Tsunade's eyes flashed and she turned to look at Senju Yuki.

In Qianju Xue's words, she heard two words - [Yuan Jun], and from this title she felt Qianju Xue's closeness to Uchiha Yuan.

Looking at Senju Yuki, Princess Tsunade looked thoughtful.

After a while, she slowly said: "Xue, I know that you and Xuan often come into contact with Uchiha Yuan.

What kind of person do you think Uchiha Yuan is?

Could he have some other purpose in approaching you?"

"Sister Tsunade, it's best not to let Xuan hear this, he will be very angry.

Xuan Ke cherishes his friendship with Yuan Jun very much."

Qianshou Xue chuckled.

Then she pondered for a moment and said, "Yuan Jun is a confident and proud person.

He's also a dull, boring guy."

Looking at Senju Xue's coquettish look, Tsunade's heart sank.

She said in a deep voice: "Xue, the Uchiha Yuan I have seen is a person who is more arrogant and domineering than other Uchiha.

I think it would be best for you and Xuan to keep some distance from Uchiha Yuan from now on."

Hearing this, Qianshou Xue's expression changed, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

[Could it be that the village is going to attack Yuan-kun!? ]

Senju Xue knew Uchiha Yuan's plan and knew that he would eventually conflict with the Third Generation and others.

So after hearing Tsunade's words, the first thing she thought of was what news Tsunade had learned from the village leaders.

"Sister Tsunade, I don't understand what you mean?"

Suppressing the panic in her heart, Qianshou Xue asked with a puzzled look.

Princess Tsunade took the warm towel handed to her by Shizune and wiped her face, then said seriously: "Xue, there are some things you may not know, the village has actually been secretly suppressing the Uchiha clan.

And the Uchiha clan has been fighting against the village."

No, Sister Tsunade, I know exactly what you are saying.

Looking at Princess Tsunade, Senju Xue said secretly.

"what!"

Senju Snow first made a surprised expression, then asked: "Sister Tsunade, why is this?"

"Ms. Xue, this is because the Uchiha clan has always had strong ambitions for the position of Hokage."

Shizune spoke.

Hearing this, Senju Xue frowned slightly and looked back and forth between Tsunade and Shizune.

Then, she said, "I cannot agree with your reason for having ambitions for the Hokage position.

Just ask the ninjas in the village, which one of them does not yearn for the position of Hokage?

In ninja schools, the ideal that children often talk about is to become Hokage in the future.

Hearing what Senju Yuki said, Tsunade and Shizune were stunned.

They both thought to themselves at the same time, yes, since when did wanting to become Hokage become a crime?

Then the two of them realized that they had taken it for granted that Uchiha was guilty of coveting the position of Hokage.

Realizing this, Tsunade's expression couldn't help but become a little ugly.

At this time, Senju Snow raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile and said: "Sister Tsunade, I think the reason why the village thinks Uchiha is guilty is not because they have ambitions for the position of Hokage.

It's because they really have the ability to seize the position of Hokage."

Princess Tsunade fell into silence, she knew that what Senju Yuki said was right.

Noticing the mocking smile on Senju Yuki's face, Princess Tsunade's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She said, "Xue, now that you understand the dispute between the village and the Uchiha clan, do you and Xuan still want to continue to contact Uchiha Yuan?

You should be aware that one day in the future, Uchiha Yuan may very likely lead the Uchiha clan into conflict with the village.

What are you and Xuan going to do then?

Should I support Uchiha Yuan and stand against the village, or should I stand on the side of the village and be the enemy of Uchiha Yuan?

[When that day comes, Xuan and I will of course support Yuan-kun.]

Qianshou Xue said secretly.

Then she said, “Sister Tsunade, what you said is just a possibility in the future.

And right now, Yuan Jun treats Xuan and me with sincerity, and we also regard Yuan Jun as a close friend."

"So what if what I'm talking about happened?"

Tsunade-hime asked seriously.

"Then let Uchiha become Hokage. Isn't this also a way to resolve the dispute?"

Then Senju Snow asked again: "Sister Tsunade, can't you accept Uchiha becoming Hokage?"

"I don't care who becomes Hokage."

Princess Tsunade said with an indifferent look on her face.

Then, she looked at Senju Snow with a serious expression and continued, "I don't care, but the village cares very much. They will not allow Uchiha to get involved in the position of Hokage.

And the Uchiha will not give up their ambition to become the Hokage; this time Uchiha Yuan accepting Hyuga Neji as his disciple is a signal.

The Uchiha clan, at least Uchiha Fumi, received some degree of support from the Hyuga clan.

The alliance between Uchiha and Hyuga will inevitably increase the Uchiha's prestige; faced with this situation, the village will definitely suppress it.

As a result, the struggle between the two sides will gradually become more intense."
