Chương 34: Plans!
"I am satisfied with the answer, and now we have another problem to solve. As I said, I will live with him, but he doesn't plan on leaving you."
"Now, you have two options to choose. First, shift with me to Senju Estate."
"Second, I will live here as I can see that this house can house two more people."
Tsunade said with a casual look on her face and Kurenai froze at her words. She started to think about this matter and then said, "You can choose this, Tsunade-Sama."
Tsunade looked at Kurenai and said, "Then, I and Shizune will live here from now on. No problem with that, right?"
Kurenai shook her head, and she was happy and excited that Tsunade would live with them. After all, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the Tsunade is the Idol of 90% of kunoichis.
"About his talent, who all know about it?" Tsunade asked with a thoughtful look on her face and Kurenai said, "Only me and Anko.
"Anko? Orochimaru's student?" Tsunade asked with a surprised look on her face and she didn't understand why Orochimaru hadn't picked Kazutora up.
'Did she not tell him about Kazutora? It must be or I can see Orochimaru licking his lips and appraising Kazutora.'
Tsunade thought in her mind, and Kurenai nodded at her words. She inwardly smiled at Kazutora's good relationships, and it meant that the little kid had some charisma or she should say, a strange aura that made them focus on him and... protect him.
Tsunade couldn't think of any other words to explain as having one person hide from the village is good enough, but having two means that there was something wrong with the village, or this kid had something in him.
'Katsuyu said that the Natural Sage Body is given to a person loved by the world, and maybe this is the reason? Or maybe vice versa.'
A thoughtful look appeared on Tsunade's face but she couldn't be sure of this matter. So, she decided to shelve the idea for now, and said, "I will be having him inherit the Senju surname, and this would be the biggest protection for him."
"He would be the last remaining Senju as I don't use the surname, and just like I was in past, he would be the little prince of Konoha."
Kurenai looked at Tsunade with a strange look on her, face and she felt like Tsunade had some hidden intentions in the matter. Of course, Tsunade had some intentions and with Kazutora having Senju surname, she could leave the duty of revitalising Senju to him when he grows up.
"But, wouldn't that put a target on him?" Kurenai asked and Tsunade looked at her with a mischievous smile on her face.
"It will, but what if beside me, Orochimaru, and maybe Jiraiya, there is Hyuga Clan and Uchiha Clan behind him?"
Tsunade said with a playful smile on her face, though there was strong distaste when she mentioned Uchiha and Hyuga.
"Eh?" Kurenai didn't understand what Tsunade was saying, and Tsunade sighed at her.
"What do you think of Uchiha's current condition?" Tsunade asked Kurenai. Even though she hadn't returned to the village, Jiraiya's letters helped her in paying attention to the village's matter.
She knew that even if there was a Sharingan seen in Kyuubi's eyes, it was unlikely that someone in the village did it. If she was outside, she wouldn't care about this matter, but now that she is in the village, she would try to use their situation to meet her needs.
Unlike before, when she could flaunt her status with Mito behind her, the current Tsunade had some strength and status, but that wouldn't be compared to how she used to be in the Second Shinobi War.
"Bad, very bad," Kurenai said as she thought of Uchiha's situation and she knew that they were under the suspicion of a Nine Tails attack. With Uchiha shifting out of the centre, the villager's suspicion of them grew, and negative feelings towards them exploded.
"What if at this time, a rumour that the last remaining Senju clan member has a fiancee with Uchiha Clan is released? Let's not talk about Hyuga, as they could support but having a marital alliance would be difficult. The Uchiha Clan would agree with this as this would mean that I support them."
"With my support, the suspicion of the Nine-Tails attack would be lessened unless something else happens, and their condition would get better. You won't believe but the ones that love most and the ones that are most desperate for village and Hokage are Uchihas."
"If Kazutora has a fiancee from the Uchiha clan, he will have the support of Uchiha, and if he becomes Hokage in future, then the girl from Uchiha would be Hokage's wife."
"Let's not mention Kazutora becoming Hokage, but he has a 60-70% chance in future. The Uchiha will surely bet on this as with him, they will have a chance of someone in Uchiha becoming Hokage in future."
"This will increase Kazutora's status more, but the better his status, the bigger the target he will become, in return, he will be safer and have more security in future."
Tsunade said with a thoughtful look on her face and Kurenai had a bad feeling about this matter. She didn't like Kazutora being used in politics and said, "Wouldn't it be okay to just hide like before? I can agree with Senju's surname, but wouldn't it be better to keep it a secret?"
Tsunade looked at Kurenai's worried look and she sighed.
"I understand where you are coming from, and I also used to be like you in past. But, hiding and keeping a secret, just how long do you plan to hide? You think that by having me here, he will remain safe but that's wrong."
"I can't do everything, and I chose to step up and cross the line, I am sure Old Man would ask me to take responsibility and push me onto Hokage's seat."
"If I became Hokage, then it would be more difficult to hide him as at that moment if I do something, I will be stared at by everyone."
"Kazutora's talent is much stronger than you think and he has the potential to reach Grandpa's strength in future. Hiding and keeping secrets would be harmful to him. It's good that he doesn't claim that he will become Hokage and scream to protect everyone, and he can think of his situation."
"If worst comes, I will just ask Daimyo to write a degree and make him a nobleman. Though, at that time too, he will have to marry someone's daughter as an alliance and that would be much worse."
"I used to think that strength could solve everything but I understood that it can't. It's not strength that can solve everything but absolute strength, which I lack."
"You don't need to agree at this moment. Just keep my words in your mind and Kazutora would also be involved in this. For the time being, I will just put Kazutora under me as someone who has Senju ancestry, and talk with Old man."
Tsunade said while sighing, and Kurenai looked down at her words. The place became silent, and Shizune, who had been listening to everything from the start, had her mind buzzing with all the talk.
"Let's talk about this later. Again, I will say that your emotions are something I understand, and just because I understand, I am saying these things. Talent is one thing, and grown-up talent is another."
"Don't think that I am being paranoid, I have seen a few things that I won't mention, but the most important thing for a talent is the place where they can grow up."
"Experience, Politics and strength! Kazutora will need to have these things no matter what he wants to do in future. I won't let him get influenced by others as I want him to be able to make good decisions on his own."
Tsunade stood up from her seat as she said the words, and she started to walk out of the room.
"Shizune, don't follow me. Take your time and catch up with your friend." Tsunade said before Shizune could follow and she walked out of the room with a bad look on her face.
She walked in the direction of the basement and entering inside, she looked around. Her eyes fell on a white colored cocoon in the center, and Katsuyu on the cocoon.
"What happened?" She exclaimed as she rushed to the cocoon, and she looked with Katsuyu with a questioning look in her eyes.
