Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

When Obito Uchiha arrived in Konoha, his first target was Kakashi. If Might Guy hadn't been nearby, Obito would have succeeded. Therefore, I also believe that Obito's purpose in attacking Kakashi was to retrieve his Sharingan. If he could regain his Sharingan, Obito's strength would increase significantly.

Tsunade didn't relax just because she figured out the problem; instead, she was still muttering to herself:

"So many years have passed, why is Obito Uchiha only now thinking about reclaiming his Sharingan? What is his purpose?"

Tsunade, of course, did not know that the reason Obito Uchiha wanted to take back his Sharingan to make a pair of Sharingan was because he had been beaten into a state of depression by her man some time ago.

This is too much! Before he could even make a move, Uchiha Kakuzan glared at him and used a single eye technique to knock him down. If it weren't for the help of the White Zetsu beside him, he would have been taken down by Uchiha Kakuzan long ago.

Chapter 212 Earned a Silence

Chapter 212 Earned a Quiet Motion

Uchiha Kakuzan had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but he didn't take it to heart. Even if Uchiha Obito regained his Sharingan and improved his strength, if he still dared to show off in front of him, Uchiha Kakuzan had many ways to make Uchiha Obito experience it.

However, after thinking it over, Uchiha Kakuyama decided to reveal some of his secrets to Tsunade and her child in order to ensure their safety.

Uchiha Kakuzan coughed twice in a serious manner, and seeing that Tsunade and Shizune were both looking at him, he spoke somewhat reservedly.

"Tsunade, actually, I have similar methods to Kakashi, so if Obito Uchiha appears in front of you, you can just let me know, and I'll come right away."

Uchiha Kakuzan also knew that Tsunade was a sentimental person. When Pain invaded Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails, Tsunade risked her life using her large-scale medical ninjutsu, which almost led to her death.

If Obito Uchiha appeared in front of her, even though Tsunade had the spatial mark he left on her, allowing her to leave the battlefield at any time and enter the space of Uchiha Hill, she was still in danger.

However, given Tsunade's personality, if she had close friends or subordinates by her side, she would never abandon them and leave the battlefield.

Therefore, for Tsunade's safety, Uchiha Kakuyama had no choice but to personally step in to ensure the safety of the mother and daughter.

Seeing Tsunade looking at him with a probing gaze, Uchiha Kazuyama knew what she was thinking, so he nodded knowingly, admitting that he had copied Kakashi's eye technique.

Since Uchiha Kakuzan had previously copied Tsunade's Senju bloodline and successfully awakened the Sage Mode, Tsunade did not doubt what Uchiha Kakuzan said. However, what she did not know was that Uchiha Kakuzan copying her Senju bloodline and copying Kakashi's eye technique were not the same thing.

Next, Uchiha Kakuyama led Tsunade and Shizune to the backyard of Tsunade's house. Under their watchful eyes, he skillfully activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and used his dojutsu, Kamui, on the artificial hill in the courtyard.

Unlike Kakashi, Uchiha Kazuyama had practiced the Kamui eye technique many times since obtaining it. Moreover, Kazuyama's eyes were the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, so he didn't have the side effects of using eye techniques. In addition, with his outstanding mental strength, Kazuyama was very adept at controlling the Kamui eye technique.

So, under the watchful eyes of Tsunade, Shizune, and the pig, Uchiha Kagami used his eye technique Kamui to create numerous holes of varying sizes in the artificial mountain, with perfectly smooth cut surfaces, as if they had been meticulously polished.

Whether it was Tsunade, Shizune, or the pig, it was the first time they had ever witnessed such a magical space-time ninjutsu, and they were all captivated by the eye technique used by Uchiha Kakuyama.

After finishing his performance, Uchiha Kakuyama saw that Tsunade and Shizune were still in shock. He had an idea and came to Shizune's side. His eyes, as calm as a still lake, quietly looked at Shizune.

As Tsunade's little follower since childhood, Shizune is arguably the closest person to Tsunade besides herself, and also the most loyal to her. Moreover, she is very respectful to Tsunade in daily life.

Therefore, in order to prevent Shizune from having an accident and causing Tsunade to be sad, Uchiha Kakuyama planned to leave Shizune some tricks to ensure her safety.

When Shizune saw Uchiha Kakuyama standing in front of her, staring at her like that, she immediately blushed.

"What should I do? What should I do? It seems like Lord Qiushan has taken a liking to me. Should I agree or not? But Lady Tsunade is watching right here. If I agree, will Lady Tsunade just punch me to death? Ah, how embarrassing! Should I agree or not?"

"That's true. Lady Tsunade is pregnant now and it's inconvenient for her. As Lady Tsunade's personal maid, shouldn't I serve Lord Qiushan...?"

Seeing Shizune's flushed face, Uchiha Kakuyama wondered what she was thinking. He smiled and said, "Shizune, I'm giving you a gift. It can save your life in a critical moment."

Without waiting for Shizune's reaction, Uchiha Kakuyama raised his hand and gently touched Shizune's forehead, leaving a bright blue dot that flickered. After flickering a few times, the dot slowly dimmed at her forehead.

When Tsunade saw what Uchiha Kakuzan did, she understood his intentions and knew who he was doing all this for.

Although Tsunade didn't say anything on the surface, her eyes softened as she looked at Uchiha Kagami, and she was once again grateful that Uchiha Kagami had controlled her with Kotoamatsukami.

Although she was being controlled by Uchiha Kakuyama, the kindness he showed her was something she had always wanted but could never have.

Uchiha Kakuzan not only cured his hemophobia, but also gave him the home he had always dreamed of, and was so kind to him and those around him.

In truth, Tsunade already knew that she had long since fallen for Uchiha Kagakuyama's gentleness. Even if Uchiha Kagakuyama wanted to undo the Kotoamatsukami he had used on her, she probably wouldn't agree.

After all, Tsunade had long considered herself one of Uchiha Kagakusan's people. If Uchiha Kagakusan distanced himself from her after releasing Kotoamatsukami from her body, Tsunade would be in unimaginable pain.

After Uchiha Kagami and Shizune finished explaining the purpose of the spatial mark they had left on her, Tsunade came to her senses and said to Shizune with a serious expression:

"Jingyin, Qiushan-jun only leaves this spatial mark on his closest people. You must not betray Qiushan-jun's trust, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Shizune, still reeling from the shock of Uchiha Kagaya's divine technique, heard Tsunade's words and her face flushed crimson. She quickly replied:

"Lady Tsunade and Lady Qiushan have been so good to me, how could I possibly betray your trust? I will be loyal to and serve Lady Tsunade and Lady Qiushan for the rest of my life."

When Shizune said the word 'serve,' a hint of shyness flashed deep in her eyes, but she concealed it well under her excited expression, and Tsunade did not notice.

Chapter 213 Hinata's Amusing Anecdotes

Chapter 213 Hinata's Amusing Stories

Tsunade didn't notice Shizune's little scheme. After giving her some instructions, she went back to the house with Uchiha Kakuzan. The autumn wind was a bit strong today. Although it felt refreshing, Tsunade, who was pregnant, was still careful to avoid getting sick, which would be bad for both her and the baby.

Furthermore, Tsunade still needs to settle some things with Uchiha Kakuzan that she just learned a few days ago. Although she's not really angry with him, she still needs to express her attitude.

It was already noon, so Uchiha Kagami didn't go out anymore and ate lunch at Tsunade's house.

Whether in the past or present, given her noble status, Tsunade has never cooked. Therefore, lunch is prepared by Shizune and the maids in her household.

Now, Shizune is even more attentive to serving Uchiha Kakuzan his meals. Although she hasn't neglected Tsunade, it's clear from the subtle details that Shizune is more attentive to Uchiha Kakuzan. This makes Tsunade a little jealous, but she understands Shizune's feelings and doesn't take it to heart.

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to leave after having a free meal at Tsunade's house, Tsunade stopped him and led him to the tea room next door.

Whether it's the Uchiha clan of Uchiha Hill or the Senju clan of Tsunade, they are both powerful clans with a history of over a thousand years. Although they are all ninjas and don't care much about such things, they still prepare things quite well for entertaining guests. After all, they can't let outsiders look down on their family. Therefore, whether it's the Uchiha, Senju, or Hyuga, they all have their own tea rooms for entertaining guests.

While Uchiha Kagami and Tsunade were waiting for Shizune to serve tea, Tsunade suddenly looked at Uchiha Kagami and said with a half-smile:

"Kyuu-kun, when I was receiving the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, a few days ago, I heard something interesting."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Kakuyama immediately became anxious and changed the subject, saying, "The head of the Hyuga clan has come to pay his respects to Tsunade-nee. It seems they have already received the news that Tsunade-nee is going to inherit the Hokage position. The Hyuga clan has always been relatively close to the Hokage lineage. However, what the Third Hokage did has deeply hurt the Hyuga clan. Tsunade-nee should be careful to appease them."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Tsunade smiled strangely and said, "The Hyuga clan is quite obedient to me. Today, let's talk about some interesting things that happened when I listened to the Dao."

Knowing that he couldn't get away with this today, Uchiha Kakuyama had no choice but to play along, saying, "What interesting thing could have piqued Tsunade-nee's interest so much?"

At this moment, Jingyin came over, set out the tea set and snacks, and then quietly left.

Uchiha Kakuyama watched from the sidelines as Shizune left, hoping that she would stay so that he wouldn't die a terrible death later.

Tsunade reached for her teacup, took a sip, and said, "What? You've taken a fancy to this girl? Should I just give her to you? I bet she's secretly hoping for it."

How could Uchiha Kakuyama make such a mistake? He shook his head repeatedly and said loyally, "No one else can compare to Tsunade's beauty and charm. I like Tsunade the most. I don't even look at these little girls."

Seeing that Uchiha Kakuzan was being sensible, Tsunade didn't continue the topic, but she didn't let him off the hook either, and continued, "When I was receiving Hyuga Hiashi a few days ago, he mentioned that you and his eldest daughter, Hinata Mukahi, are engaged? Is that true?"

Uchiha Kakuzan swallowed hard, picked up his water cup, took a sip of tea, and retorted:

“Tsunade, as you know, the two girls in my space were arranged for me by the First Elder, and this marriage with the Hyuga clan was also arranged by the First Elder. He was worried that the Uchiha clan would have no allies after leaving Konoha, so he arranged this marriage to win over the Hyuga clan.”

"Elder, thank you for taking the blame for me. You must want me to be doing well, right? Now that you've left Konoha, Tsunade won't be able to find you for a while, so your personal safety is quite guaranteed." Uchiha Kakuyama silently murmured to himself.

When Tsunade heard Uchiha Kagami's reason, she didn't show any surprise. Instead, she looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Isn't your will involved in this? I don't believe that if you didn't agree, your elder would force you. I know you very well now. When faced with this kind of situation, you would be secretly happy and wouldn't refuse."

Sweat instantly beaded on Uchiha Kagami's back. He immediately retorted, "Tsunade-neechan, I didn't really object, but I had my reasons."

Tsunade looked at her with disbelief: "What other reason could you have?"

"Tsunade, you know the abilities of my Mangekyou Sharingan. I'm just a little envious of the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit—the Byakugan. Hinata Hyuga is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, and her Byakugan bloodline is very pure. I'm laying the groundwork so that I can copy her bloodline limit in the future. When I have another chance to be alone with her, I can copy her Byakugan."

Uchiha Kakuzan actually wanted Hinata Hyuga, and he also wanted her. You see, in his heart, Hinata Hyuga was a wife who could rival his sister Tsunade. So, even if Tsunade made a fuss, he was determined to have Hinata Hyuga.

Tsunade looked at the innocent-looking Uchiha Kakuyama with some suspicion. She actually agreed with Uchiha Kakuyama's purpose. In her opinion, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan was a powerful support artifact. Apart from not increasing one's own strength much, it was excellent in other aspects.

Whether used to scout out enemy tracks, check the enemy's physical condition, or learn ninjutsu or medical ninjutsu, it has a strong auxiliary role.

As a medical ninja, Tsunade was extremely envious of the Byakugan's ability to enhance medical ninjutsu learning. After all, activating the Byakugan is equivalent to activating an X-ray machine. Moreover, the Byakugan has the ability to see far away, allowing you to detect enemies from a distance and observe the subtle details on patients. These are all features that every healer desires.

To be honest, Tsunade had once wondered why the Hyuga clan hadn't dominated Konoha's medical department. Given their Byakugan, what advantage did they have in becoming medical ninjas? Later, Tsunade thought about it again and concluded that it was probably the Hyuga clan's pride as a powerful ninja clan that wouldn't allow them to do things that seemed like serving others.

Chapter 214 Tsunade and Hinata

Chapter 214 Tsunade and Hinata

Therefore, Tsunade wholeheartedly supported Uchiha Kazuyama's desire to copy the Hyuga clan's Byakugan. In fact, when Tsunade learned that Uchiha Kazuyama wanted to copy the Byakugan, she even thought about the future, wondering if her and Kazuyama's future child would inherit the many bloodline limits on Uchiha Kazuyama, and whether one of them would happen to inherit the Byakugan. In that case, Tsunade would definitely teach her child her medical skills step by step.

Tsunade, realizing this, softened her gaze towards Uchiha Kagami and muttered...

"To copy the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit, there's no need to go through all this trouble."

With that, Tsunade loudly ordered, "Shizune, go and invite the Hyuga clan head and his wife, and have them bring their daughter Hinata Mukahi. Tell them I want to take on a disciple and see her talent."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune agreed and hurriedly left, putting down what she was doing.

Seeing that Shizune had left, Tsunade turned around, looked at Uchiha Kakuyama, and raised her eyebrows smugly.

"Done, it's that simple."

Indeed, given Tsunade's status, if she were to reveal her desire to take Hinata Hyuga as her apprentice, the Hyuga couple, Hiashi and Hiashi, would undoubtedly rush to send Hinata over. Making Hinata Tsunade's apprentice would be extremely beneficial for both her personally and the Hyuga clan.

Seeing the smug Tsunade, Uchiha Kakuyama silently took a sip of tea, then gave her a thumbs up. It's worth noting that Uchiha Kakuyama was already engaged to Hinata Hyuga, but he hadn't yet found an opportunity to be alone with her. Of course, this was also related to Hinata's shy personality and Uchiha Kakuyama's lack of initiative. After all, the Byakugan only served as an added bonus for Uchiha Kakuyama.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that the reason Tsunade was in such a hurry to send Shizune to the Hyuga clan to deliver a message was not just to show off her abilities, but to help him to quickly copy the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit. In this way, his overall strength would be able to be improved to a certain extent.

When Shizune arrived with the Hyuga couple and Hinata, Uchiha Kagami and Tsunade hadn't finished their tea yet.

Originally, the Hyuga couple, led by Shizune, obediently came to Tsunade's side, but unexpectedly, they saw Uchiha Kakuyama drinking tea with Tsunade. It seems that the two have a good relationship.

When Hiashi and his wife arrived, Tsunade stood up to greet them politely before inviting the three of them to sit down.

After they were seated, Tsunade skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"The reason I invited the Hyuga clan leader here today is because when I was entertaining the Uchiha clan leader, he told me that your daughter, Hinata Hyuga, has a very kind personality and is very talented. I also wanted to take on a disciple, so I asked you to come here so I could see if Hinata is suitable to become my disciple."

Hiashi Hyuga was startled by Tsunade's words, for he had learned from her that, if he wasn't mistaken, Uchiha Kakuzan had become the head of the Uchiha clan. However, in this situation, Hiashi Hyuga could only suppress his surprise and respectfully reply:

"In response to Lady Tsunade, my daughter is indeed very kind. When we heard that Lady Tsunade was willing to examine Hinata, my husband and I were very happy and brought her here."

Meanwhile, Hiashi and his wife were secretly grateful to Uchiha Kakuzan. They believed that it was all thanks to Kakuzan's kind words to Tsunade that Hinata had caught her eye; otherwise, how could she have possibly succeeded?

It's important to understand that not just anyone can become her disciple. Becoming her student means fully entering the Hokage's lineage. Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan, knew very well that only those who joined the Hokage's lineage had a chance to become Hokage.

Although Hinata's personality makes it virtually impossible for her to become Hokage, in the future, those who will become Hokage will either be her senior or junior classmates—in any case, they will all be from the same department.

This not only benefits the Hyuga clan, but also stabilizes their foundation. The reason the Hyuga clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio so closely follow the Hokage is because, within Konoha Village, the Hokage's faction holds the reins.

What about the Uchiha clan? After the Senju clan declined, the Uchiha clan could be considered the most powerful clan in Konoha. However, they were also ostracized in the village and had a hard time. In the end, they all left Konoha.

Hiashi Hyuga knew his own family best. Although the Hyuga clan had a history of thousands of years, it did not have the same profound foundation as the Uchiha clan. With so many strong individuals, they even produced a monstrous top-tier expert like Uchiha Kakuzan.

The Hyuga clan was able to maintain good relations with the Hokage in the village and band together with other clans for mutual support. That's why Hiashi Hyuga rushed over as soon as he learned that the soon-to-be Hokage, Tsunade, wanted to take Hinata as her disciple.

Then, Hiashi Hyuga pushed Hinata, who had been following behind them, in front of Tsunade, indicating that she should bow to Lady Tsunade.

Hinata, who received aristocratic education from a young age, was quite adept at etiquette and other such things. However, she still stuttered a bit when speaking, revealing her timid nature.

"Tsunade, Lady Tsunade, Hinata Hyuga of the Hyuga clan, greetings to you."

Although Hinata didn't know why her father wanted her to become Tsunade's apprentice, she had never disobeyed him and always listened to him.

When Tsunade saw Hinata, who was so small, timidly bowing to her, she couldn't help but cast a beastly glance at Uchiha Kakuyama next to her.

Uchiha Kazuyama knew that Tsunade would look at her like that, so when she looked over, he looked away and made sure his eyes didn't meet hers.

After glancing at Uchiha Kakuyama, Tsunade began to carefully observe Hyuga Hinata.

Although Tsunade wanted to help Uchiha Kakuyama obtain the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan as soon as possible, she was still quite cautious when it came to accepting disciples.

Tsunade first carefully observed Hinata's face. Hinata had been beautiful since childhood, and her appearance was outstanding even as a child. So, after seeing her, Tsunade couldn't help but praise her.

"What a beautiful girl in the making! Hinata will definitely grow up to be a great beauty."

After saying that, Tsunade also glanced at the beautiful young woman next to Hiashi Hyuga. After all, if her mother was this beautiful, how much less beautiful would her daughter be when she grew up?

Chapter 215 The Weak Hinata

Chapter 215 The Weak Hinata

Hinata Hyuga, who was already shy, blushed immediately after hearing Tsunade's praise. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing the intense turmoil in her heart.

Tsunade's praise of Hinata made Hiashi and his wife smile happily. In their view, since Lady Tsunade was praising Hinata, Hinata would most likely become Tsunade's disciple.

After Tsunade finished looking Hinata over, she went to Hinata and smiled at her, reassuring her, "Hinata, I'm going to check your body in a bit. It's just a normal check-up, it won't hurt, so don't be nervous."

Hinata raised her eyes and timidly looked at the smiling Tsunade. Knowing that the person in front of her meant her no harm, she nodded slightly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Thank you for your trouble, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade was quite fond of the petite little girl in front of her and made a decision in her heart: as long as Hinata's aptitude wasn't too bad, she would take her as her apprentice. However, the possibility of this was very small. After all, Hinata was a member of the main branch of the Hyuga clan. If the aptitude of the main branch of the Hyuga clan was not good, even with the cursed seal 'Caged Bird', it would be impossible to suppress the branch family for so many years.

Tsunade raised her hand and touched Hinata's soft hair. Then, a soft green light emanated from Tsunade's hand, and she gently placed her hand on Hinata's forehead.

This was the most crucial moment for the Hyuga couple, Hiashi and Hinata. As long as Hinata's talent was up to par, coupled with the Hyuga clan's loyalty to the Hokage lineage, Hinata believed she would become Tsunade's disciple. Therefore, the couple dared not breathe loudly, nervously watching Tsunade's expression.

When Tsunade began examining Hinata's physical condition, her expression was initially calm and composed. However, as the examination progressed, Tsunade's expression changed. Her gaze towards Hinata grew brighter and brighter, as if she had discovered an undiscovered gem, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

After seeing Tsunade's expression, the Hyuga couple felt relieved. They exchanged a knowing glance and smiled at each other, knowing that everything was fine.

But to their surprise, at that moment, Tsunade seemed to discover something incredible. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and the green light on her hand grew brighter and brighter, gradually becoming dazzling.
