Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

"Ahem, in order to protect the branch family's eyes from being coveted by ninjas from other villages during battle, the main family developed the Caged Bird Seal." Looking at Tsunade who seemed a little thoughtful, the Third Hokage coughed twice, cleared his throat and continued.

"The existence of the Caged Bird Seal was originally for the main family to protect the branch family's eyes, but in the gradual evolution process, it became a way for the main family to rule the branch family. This caused dissatisfaction among the branch family."

"This is the long-standing conflict between the branch family and the main family. Now that the branch family's chief elder has bowed to the main family, this is an opportunity for the main family to ease the relationship between the branch and main families. In order for the branch family to behave itself in the future, the main family has included Nichiyuki Yusei in the list of the main family! Let me execute Dousuke in the name of the main family." The Third Hokage slowly walked to the back of the desk and slowly sat down on the chair.

There were stars outside the window, and the silvery moonlight shone into the dark Hokage's office.

The backs of the three generations looked particularly pale.

Under the moonlight, Tsunade's clenched hands began to tremble slightly.

"It is normal for people to die on the battlefield. How can the Hyuga family be sure that it was Dousuke who killed Hyuga Yusei?" Tsunade asked the question in her heart with her red lips slightly opened.

The Third Hokage relit his pipe and exhaled a stream of smoke slowly.

"This is the secret technique of the Hyuga clan that I just mentioned, the Rinnegan Tenshin."

"In order to protect the eyes of the Hyuga family, many secret techniques were developed. One of them is a secret technique that can transmit the last image of the deceased when their eyes are dug out or they die back to the Hyuga family's ancestral hall through secret techniques."

"Every Hyuga ninja will be subjected to the Rinnegan Tenshin Secret Technique when they are born! However, after the branch family is planted with the Caged Bird Seal, the full power of the Byakugan will be sealed at the moment of the Hyuga ninja's death. Therefore, only the Hyuga main family can transmit information to the Hyuga family ancestral hall."

"The Wheeling Eye Tentan is a secret technique that transmits information. The Hyuga main family also discovered through checking the records of the ancestral hall that the branch family's Hyuga Yusei was not planted with the Caged Bird Seal. They also discovered that the cause of Hyuga Yusei's death was due to Okamoto Dousuke's ninjutsu."

"The Wheel Eye Tenshin Secret Technique is the final secret technique that every Hyuga clan ninja can use."

Looking at the silent Tsunade, the Third Hokage didn't say anything.

In the dark Hokage's office, only the Third Hokage's pipe was emitting little red lights with every breath.

"Teacher, I can guarantee with my life that this situation will never happen again!" Tsunade said firmly.

"Teacher, I can go to the Hyuga main family to explain the situation!"

"Teacher, Dousuke is really an excellent child. I hope you can help him." Tsunade's eyes were filled with tears that were about to burst out.

The Third Hokage tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.

"Tsunade, I also like this child, Dousuke. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect him."

"Thank you, teacher!" Tsunade bowed deeply to the Third Hokage.

After saying that, Tsunade turned and walked out.

Looking at Tsunade's back as she walked away, the Third Hokage sighed deeply.

He stood up and stood in front of the window again, silently looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

After walking out of the Hokage building, Tsunade was not sure what her mood was. She felt like she was back to the time when Kato Dan died in front of her.

That deep feeling of powerlessness came over her again.

She didn't know why she felt this way, she just felt cold.

Before she knew it, Tsunade walked back to Konoha Hospital.

Recently, she has been resting in the hospital because of the preparation of therapeutic potions.

Open the office door gently.

Soft light suddenly illuminated Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at the clean and tidy room with a little surprise.

The bedroom door opened from the inside, and Shizune, dressed in a clean white medical gown and holding a rag, walked out.

"Teacher Tsunade, let me help you clean up the room!" Shizune said a little embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Shizune!" Tsunade said and hugged Shizune who was at the bedroom door.

"Teacher!" Shizune's hand holding the rag shuddered and fell to the ground when she was suddenly hugged by Tsunade.

"Then teacher, I'm going back!" Shizune said after Tsunade let go of her.

"Shizune, sleep with the teacher today!!" Looking at the still somewhat shy Shizune in front of her, Tsunade suddenly had the idea of ​​finding someone to accompany her.

"Yeah!" Although she didn't know what happened, Shizune saw the tear marks on Tsunade's cheeks and felt inexplicably distressed.

Hyuga family, the room of the Hyuga clan leader.

Hyuga Daisuke and Hyuga Hiashi sat facing each other.

Hyuga Daisuke's wife, Hyuga Hiashi's mother, brought over two cups of tea and gently placed them in front of the two.

Hyuga Daisuke nodded slightly towards his wife.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother!" Hinata Hiashi bowed his head and thanked his mother.

The white steam from the hot tea slowly rose between the two of them.

"Rizu!"

"Yes, father!" Hinata Hiashi replied with his head down.

"The branch family was able to bow down this time because there was no hope. It was so close. The branch family even attempted to split the main family! Rizu, you must not be soft-hearted when dealing with the branch family in the future. Do you understand?"

"Yes, father!" Hinata Hiashi nodded in agreement.

"Do you know why I accepted Hyuga Yusei into the main family?"

"Because this is the condition for separation?" asked Hinata Hiashi with a little confusion.

"Part of the reason is that only when Hyuga Yusei is incorporated into the Hyuga main family, the old guys from the branch families can legitimately put pressure on the Third Hokage."

"And this is also an opportunity to ease the relationship between us and the branch family, an opportunity to regain control of the branch family."

"But, father, if we put such pressure on Hokage, will it have any impact on us and the Hyuga clan in the future..." Hyuga Hiashi asked Hyuga Daisuke in doubt.

"Don't worry. We have the Uchiha clan inside. As a clan that founded the village together with the first Hokage, they have not received the treatment they deserve. They have always been the object of vigilance and protection of the village's top leaders. As for external threats, the various countries in the ninja world are eyeing Konoha covetously. Sand Village is confronting Konoha, and I heard that Kumogakure and Tsuchigakure also want to take action against Konoha."

"And this is also an opportunity to demonstrate the status, strength and presence of our Hyuga clan in the village." Hyuga Daisuke said ambitiously.

"However, Okamoto Dousuke is not only a disciple of Tsunade among the three ninjas, but he is also said to have a close relationship with Jiraiya. The current commander of the Sand Village, Orochimaru, also has a good impression of him. His reputation among civilians and civilian ninjas is also very high!"
