Kapitel 59: Ch59. Tsunade visiting Konoha.
Tsunade walked through the gates of Konoha but surprisingly, she didn't feel at home at all. She felt... annoyed. The faces of her grandfather and granduncle were the only thing that somewhat soothed her reluctance as she approached the booth with the guards. When she came closer to it, she instantly saw two men sweetly sleeping and her annoyance was again there, rearing its ugly head.
With a twitching eyebrow, she banged her papers on the table, making it shake enough to wake up the two shinobi. They jumped up, prepared for a fight until their sleepy eyes spotted a frowning Tsunade.
"What the hell are you two doing..." She asked darkly, drumming her finger onto her papers. "I don't have all day." She added with a threatening scowl.
The guards looked sheepish and took her papers, their eyes bulging out the second they read her name. While the guards were busy with her papers, she noticed an ANBU departing from behind the booth, most likely heading to inform the Hokage about her arrival. Nevertheless, Tsunade didn't go to greet her Sensei. No, she first went to the Senju compound where she spent hours on end to relocate the entire library, treasury, and anything of use to Rei's dimension or her storage. She cleaned it all. She wasn't feeling generous towards Konoha. Sure, it might have been a village created by her grandfather and even could be called her clan's heritage but… with the current leadership of the village and the Senju clan's extinct status, Tsunade really didn't feel any attachment toward the village.
As she looked at the bare walls and furniture-free rooms of the houses in the Senju compound, Tsunade nodded in self-satisfaction at her handi-work. No scroll was left unturned and even if the village broke through the seals securing the compound, they wouldn't be able to find anything. Tsunade found quite a few marks that somebody indeed did try to get inside the compound in her absence… this, however, only strengthened her belief that the future of her clan no longer lies with Konoha.
"Maybe I should do the same with the Uchiha compound just secretly?" She briefly thought but dismissed the idea as she doubted these egoistical pyromaniacs would have anything useful stashed away.
But now... her reason for returning to Konoha was finished and she couldn't help but feel awkward. This place was once her home. Something she wouldn't mind dying for. But now? Now it was but a painful reminder of her clan that died for the village.
Sure, maybe her ancestors would want her to protect it to pay her respect to them… she was even playing with the idea of destroying it as it was the reason for their demise. For better or worse, Rei disabused that notion quite quickly though. In the end, Tsunade decided to go the third, neutral route and just stop caring about it. She had a new home and the dead will stay dead no matter what befalls Konoha.
At the end of the day, she was about to exit her compound and sullenly walk towards the Hokage Tower when she saw an ANBU waiting for her in front of it.
"What." She asked in irritation, her hands instantly crossing on her chest.
"The Council is calling for you, Lady Tsunade." The ANBU bowed and disappeared.
"So?" She muttered to herself as she looked at the empty spot where the ANBU stood just a second ago. "Tell me, ANBU-san, why should I care what some old inept idiots want? Do I look that free to you?" She told towards the air with untold amusement in her tone, knowing full well nobody listened. Being summoned? Why should that be her problem? She was the head of the Senju clan! She can be summoned only by Hokage and even then the old monkey must be polite about it. The council? Ha! No chance.
Tsunade shrugged and decided that it was a great day for some shopping!
...
It was an evening already, six hours later, when Tsunade leisurely walked into the Council Room as her eyes slowly trailed over the forms of very annoyed clan heads, dozing off civilians, Hiruzen smoking his tenth pipe with a twitching eyebrow, the elders looking at her with a murderous glare, and Danzo... being Danzo.
"Tsunade... where were you?" Hiruzen asked as she reached the Senju seat and flopped into it, instantly supporting her head with her arm.
"Home, Shopping, a new restaurant called Ichiraku… damn they have incredible ramen!" Tsunade, with the corner of her eye, noted that only the Akemichi clan head appreciated the comment and quickly tried to discreetly make some sort of 'note'. She continued. "in the park, on the Senju training grounds, trying to find out what changed and then I was asked for autographs. It took time to get out of that." Tsunade dismissively waved her free hand around as she drawled. "Anyway, I thought the civilian council should have been abolished after the war. What are they doing here?" Tsunade uncaringly pointed at the sleepy civilians with her thumb.
The civilians looked at her with spooked eyes while the clan heads just smirked. As they were to get involved, Danzo interrupted. "We are here for a different matter, Tsuna-" Before he could finish the killing intent of Tsunade flooded the place and he stopped himself to reword it. "Senju-san." Tsunade grunted and gestured a 'get on with it' with her hand.
"We think it is time for you to come back to the village and marry." Koharu stated.
"And is that something a woman whose husband supposedly hung 'himself' should be telling me?" Tsunade quipped in annoyance with an apparent smirk on her face, making Koharu blanch as even Hiruzen flinched slightly. That was a low blow if he saw one. "Anyone with half a brain knows he had external 'help' councilwoman Koharu." Tsunade added, making the civilians give Koharu suspicious stares.
Damn, Konan is really a bad influence... Tsunade thinned her lips to at least somehow hide the smirk. Just then she was pulled out of her thoughts by the elder Homura. "Senju-san, you are the last breedable Senju. It is your duty to Konoha to-"
"To make sure my clan is never going to be a part of it ever again." She chuckled, startling all clan heads and even Danzo widened his eyes slightly at that despite knowing why she fought it so much. Hiruzen, on the other hand, looked at Tsunade with pity. He had to praise her though. Her transformation was really impressive! Even he was unable to see through it. Just... he thought she would choose a look closer to her age. Contrary to his thoughts, this was her real look. Her prime, twenty-two years old body.
"I had a LOT of time to think you see..." Tsunade sighed as she continued talking but her tone turned cold. "There is no one with Senju blood in Konoha but me. And you want ME to marry?"
"Well, that's obvious. That's why you are integrated into CRA." Uchiha clan head sneered at her as if she was stupid, making her chuckle at the idiot.
"I pity your simplemindedness. Stupidity runs in your blood, huh?" She mocked as if talking to a child, making the man bristle. She didn't give him time to counterattack though. Turning to her Sensei, her eyes narrowed. "Senju was the most intermarried clan of Konoha. Almost every clan had a Senju married to it at one point or the other." It was then that the minds of the clan heads clicked. Their eyes snapped to Tsunade as they widened.
"I meant it when I said there is literally NOBODY with Senju blood in Konoha." Tsunade seriously told them, observing Hiruzen intently. "Ten years. That's how long it took for this to happen. The Senju, the intermarried Senju, and even any kid with Senju blood. Plus civilians. All gone. In ten years. Do I need to ask how exactly that came to be?" She then turned towards the Uchiha clan head who was now staring at her with wide eyes. "What about you Uchiha? If Senju took a decade while being spread through the entirety of Konoha and had members in every clan… how long would it take for your inbred clan that is concentrated in a single spot to be culled out? A day?" In the middle of her sentence, her eyes clashed with Hiruzen's.
The room was silent at that. Clan Heads feared extinction more than death itself but none were foolish enough to think that a complete blood purge could be 'natural'. Their looks got wary as they watched the stare-off between Tsunade and Hiruzen.
In the end, Hiruzen in the end slumped down and sighed. "We noticed the unnatural death rates and accidents of the Senju clan. But... the culprit was never found." He told Tsunade who barked out a sarcastic laugh at him.
"So you did know!... and it didn't occur to you to inform us about it? You let Senju die out." Tsunade chuckled as she said that and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. "You know what... don't answer. I am outta this shithole." She said and stood up, leaving the chambers.
An ANBU tried to intercept her path but Tsunade was way past the point of coddling anyone and directly smashed the ANBU through three walls, utterly breaking his body. After that, no other ANBU stopped her. Nor did the councilors or the Hokage who were awkwardly staring at her disappearing back.
Kapitel 60: Ch60. Confrontation
Tsunade was walking out of Konoha for an hour already. She was not there even for a day and her mood was already fucked up. She was so angry, she decided to take a bit of a stroll through the forests her grandfather created to cool her head. She wasn't really angry that Sarutobi didn't stop her clan from going extinct. She was mad he allowed her brother to go out of the village even after knowing that somebody was hunting for Senju for a DECADE.
She didn't really think her Sensei would know about the Senju 'purge'. She wanted to believe in him. Believe that he would inform the clan if it was true. But Konan and Rei had a very plausible and chilling hypothesis. They both told her it is only their guess but... she wanted to make sure. It WAS very suspicious, indeed. When she told the councilors that she was sightseeing, she meant more of 'research in the hospital' kind of sightseeing. Yes... Rei was right. There was nobody with Senju blood left in the Konoha. At all. Every descendant was killed. To the last child.
She knew Senju were dead. But it didn't mean extinct. There was still that minuscule chance their blood in the village would awaken again. But now... she could only shake her head. First Konoha let her clan die and then wanted HER to be a baby factory for their loyal ninjas to enjoy themselves. She really didn't know what to be more disappointed about.
Worse yet… it was obvious the 'Senju-hunter' was somebody FROM Konoha as there was no way an outsider would get enough intel to pinpoint every Senju. The only way to do that was blood tests… and that meant the one responsible for her clan's demise IS on the Council and WAS in the room when she spoke the truth about the REAL state of her clan. Tsunade was only sure it was not the Hokage as the man was basically worshipping the ground her granduncle walked on. He would rather kill himself than do this. She would suspect the Uchiha-twerp but… she doubted he had enough brain cells left to do something as elaborate as this.
In the end, it was pointless to think about it. Tsunade wasn't even that interested in 'who' and she could imagine multiple 'why'. As for revenge? What would that accomplish? Her heart demanded her to return to Rei's side rather than plot a pointless witch-hunt in Konoha. It was just not worth the effort.
As she was walking away from Konoha on her own two feet, suddenly ten ninja in white masks surrounded her. By now, Tsunade was aware they were following her for minutes. Since Rei started teaching her how to 'control' nature energy, her sensory abilities improved tremendously. She could have just teleported away but she was too interested in what they wanted.
One of the ninja stepped forward and spoke in a monotonous voice that lacked emotions. "Tsunade-sama. Please return and join CRA or we will be forced to make you participate forcefully." Tsunade was a bit disturbed how… dead, the man sounded but in the end, she derisively snorted. She had just about enough for one day of bullshit.
Bending forward, her fist smashed into the ground.
...
In Konoha, Hiruzen was sighing in sadness at the way his student departed. He looked through the window at his village and couldn't help but wonder if he did something wrong. Just then a huge cloud of dust rose a bit away from the village up to the sky. He recognized it. How could he not when he saw it just on a smaller scale almost daily!
"Tsunade!"
His heart almost jumped out of his throat as he quickly grabbed his armor and ran out of his office, towards the place.
…
The impact of the punch smashed the ground in a radius of hundred meters, making it break. Thanks to her sensory abilities, Tsunade knew nine of the men jumped up before the impact and only one of the ten was affected by it. Ironically it was the idiot that spoke as that action proved to be distracting enough for him to not react on time. The kinetic force she spread through the ground was so fast and strong that it shattered his legs upon contact. She straightened up and crossed her arms. All around, only dust could be seen, and she was quite certain her opponents would use this to attack her.
She was obviously correct as three seconds later, four men with small tantos jumped at 'her' through the dust only to find the spot, she was previously on, empty. They momentarily looked at each other before they heard creaking and felt themselves being squeezed… darkness claimed them.
Tsunade looked at her handiwork as the four men were now trapped in woody vines that spiraled around their bodies, binding them while putting tremendous pressure on them. Tsunade was aware that while Rei might not do it intentionally, his stories about various Jutsu used by some people she was not even sure 'existed'... helped her incredibly with inspiration for Jutsu. For example the Suna Jinchuuriki he was talking about. Tsunade was sure the jinchuuriki containing the Ichibi was a monk who was locked away his entire life but Rei said he could use sand to wrap people in it and squeeze them to death. She had no idea where he got that information but it was VERY inspiring!
More woody vines sprang up from the ground due to her feeding the ground with her mokuton chakra and the remaining men were dragged towards her location by them like ragdolls, smashing to the ground, trees, or each other. She just walked towards a nearby trunk of a tree that fell when her punch impacted the ground and leisurely sat on it. Her eyes were looking at the bodies trapped inside thick vines, all ten of them, as she reached towards the head of the guy with shattered legs. She took the mask of the idiot who spoke into her hands and looked at it with a frown.
"I don't know who sent you... but I don't care." She spoke in a very uncaring and cold tone before the vines constricted… The Root ANBU exploded into a bloody pulp as blood covered the clearing, squirting out of the gaps between the vines as they squeezed the men before promptly vanishing into the ground, leaving only smears and very mangled remains of corpses behind.
...
Koichi was a sensor. He was the so-called eternal Chunin, aged 75. He still played ninja because he found it fun to flex his impeccable sensing skills from time to time! But right now… he was positively elated! His sensory abilities were praised even by the second Hokage and he had indeed incredible range. But… he had to gulp as he sensed what exactly happened in front of them.
"Oi! Koichi, sense something yet?" His teammate asked him, making him purse his lips but...
"No. Nothing, sorry." Koichi shook his head. His eyes teared up as he felt the nostalgic pulse of Mokuton Chakra. The very same he last felt from the man he respected most, Hashirama Senju.
A few minutes later, they came to a clearing and saw Tsunade sit on a thick trunk, playing with a white mask in her hand. All around were bloody puddles, making the shinobi gulp as they smelt the blood in the air. Koichi was looking around but surprisingly, no evidence of Mokuton could be found in the vicinity.
Tsunade-sama, your secret is safe with me. I am sure Hashirama-sama would be proud of you!... He thought as a slight smile appeared on his face only to change into a frown as one ANBU stepped forward with quite a condescending attitude.
"Senju, what happened?" The ANBU asked her somewhat haughtily. Uchiha, most likely and a young one at that, Koichi noted. No sane or experienced person would confront Senju Tsunade while her mood was clearly murder-happy! While shinobi were not sanest of the sort, they compensated with experience… and now was NOT the time to act like a dick!
"This happened." Tsunade boredly said, gesturing to the mangled corpses strewn around the clearing as she lifted her eyes to the ANBU and lazily threw the mask in her hand to him. Koichi saw the young Uchiha ANBU about to smugly catch the slowly flying mask when... the mask somehow 'overpowered' the man and flung him to the tree behind him due to the force of the throw. The tree creaked and broke as the body of the ninja powerlessly flopped to the ground alongside the now broken tree. Thankfully, the man had chakra reinforcement and armor on so he survived.
Tsunade didn't care and turned to the remaining ANBU and Koichi shuddered at her impassionate gaze. "Tell the Hokage that if one more ninja from Konoha attacks me, you will have a new Sanin defecting." Tsunade said and stood up while patting the dust from her thighs away. "Tell him to call me only if something really important happened... like a war. I am sure Jiraiya would be able to find me if I am needed." She turned around and was about to walk away.
"And if not?" The Sandaime's voice sounded from behind Koichi's group, making her stop but not turn around.
"Then that would mean you don't need me half as much as you think if you can't even spend resources to find me." She grunted and continued forward, heedless of Sarutobi's sad expression.
