Naruto: Wooing Tsunade from Day One!
Chapter 545: The Hashirama Couple and Tobirama

Chapter 545 - 545: The Hashirama Couple and Tobirama

The Senju mansion compound.

Three White Zetsu were lined up in the open space, with a crowd gathered a short distance away.

Kawakaze and Tsunade stood at the front, with Ginji and Liyue beside them.

A little further back, Nawaki and Misaki held Karin's hand, followed by Kushina and Minato.

Everyone's positioning was carefully arranged based on their relationships.

"Let's begin," Tsunade said, signaling Orochimaru.

"Alright."

Receiving Tsunade's order, Orochimaru swiftly formed a series of hand seals before slamming his hand onto the ground.

A massive sealing array spread from his palm, quickly extending toward the three White Zetsu.

"Impure World Reincarnation."

As Orochimaru uttered those words, the three White Zetsu let out desperate screams.

Three flashes of white light illuminated the area as the White Zetsu twisted, shattered, and reformed.

Moments later, three familiar faces appeared before the group.

"Grandpa!"

Before the three could even open their eyes, Tsunade had already thrown herself at Hashirama Senju.

Tears streamed down her face as she clung tightly to him, but no warmth greeted her touch.

"Tsu-Tsu... Tsunade?"

The moment Hashirama opened his eyes, he froze in confusion.

"Grandpa, it's me," Tsunade said, looking up at him with a beaming smile as she released her grip.

"Have you forgotten about me now that you have your grandfather?"

"Oh, my dear grandson!"

Mito barely had time to speak before Nawaki lifted her into a spin, twirling her several times.

Misaki and Kushina hurried over as well, both pressing their lips together, unable to hold back their tears.

"How could I ever forget you?"

"It's just been so long since I last saw Grandpa."

Tsunade wiped her face sheepishly, looking like a child again.

"I feel like I'm being ignored here."

"Who used the Impure World Reincarnation—the technique I created?"

Tobirama's voice cut in as he watched his elder brother's emotional reunion, his expression slightly sour.

Was his presence really that insignificant?

"Sensei, it was my disciple, Orochimaru, who summoned you all," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, his aged face wet with tears.

There was no mistaking the deep emotions behind his words.

"Saru, you've gotten so old."

Tobirama smirked slightly. Hiruzen had always been his most favored student.

He never expected they would meet again.

"You've been gone for decades. Of course, I've grown old," Hiruzen replied, quickly composing himself as he wiped away his tears.

"Did you summon us because something has happened?"

"Has Konoha encountered a problem it can't handle?"

Tobirama didn't need an explanation.

He wasn't being controlled.

He was in Konoha.

He was in his own home.

Without much thought, he had already figured out the answer.

"Great-granduncle, let me explain."

Kawakaze stepped forward, but his words left Hashirama momentarily bewildered.

He didn't recall his elder brother having a grandson.

Even Hashirama's gaze shifted toward Tsunade, his face full of confusion.

"This is Tsunade's husband, Kawakaze Hatake."

Mito led a group of people to Hashirama's side, introducing them one by one.

Even though she had never met Karin and Ritsuki before, she correctly guessed their identities just by their facial features.

Hearing the repeated calls of "Grandpa" and "Great-Grandpa," Hashirama let out a hearty laugh.

He hadn't expected to witness such a warm reunion so soon after returning to the ninja world.

"Hey, enough with the laughing."

"Let's talk business first."

Tobirama shot Hashirama a disapproving look. His unreliable older brother still couldn't differentiate between what was urgent and what wasn't.

The moment Tobirama spoke, Hashirama's laughter abruptly stopped, and the dignity of the so-called "God of Shinobi" seemed to crumble in an instant.

"Such a tsundere."

"Go say hello to your Great-granduncle."

Mito gave her husband a glance before pushing Nawaki forward.

Nawaki stumbled slightly but quickly straightened up, leading Misaki and the children to surround Tobirama.

"Great-granduncle, I am Nawaki Senju."

"Great-granduncle, I am Nawaki's wife, Misaki Senju."

"Great-granduncle, I am Ginji Hatake."

"..."

Tobirama, now completely surrounded, uncharacteristically blushed.

"H-Hello, hello," he stammered, glancing around at each of them, momentarily forgetting whatever serious discussion they were supposed to have.

Once introductions were settled, Hashirama and the others finally sat down in the living room with Kawakaze and his group.

"Kawakaze, right?"

"What's the situation? Fill us in."

Tobirama took his seat, immediately taking control of the conversation.

Hashirama, on the other hand, remained silent, simply watching Kawakaze with a peaceful expression.

"I'll keep it brief."

"The ninja world is now unified under Konoha."

"Wait—what?"

Kawakaze had barely spoken before Tobirama interrupted.

"Hold on, hold on."

"The ninja world... unified under Konoha?"

Tobirama's face was a mix of disbelief and exhilaration.

This was something neither he nor his brother had ever managed to achieve.

"Sensei, you heard correctly."

"The Will of Fire has spread across the entire ninja world."

Hiruzen's words carried undeniable credibility in Tobirama's eyes.

"Excellent. You all have done well."

"However... this doesn't seem like something you would have accomplished, Saru."

"Who was the Hokage responsible for this? They deserve recognition."

Tobirama knew exactly what kind of situation he had left behind for his student.

And frankly, he didn't believe Hiruzen was capable of unifying the ninja world.

"Uh... at the time, Tsunade was Hokage. She was the Fourth Hokage."

"The current Hokage is Minato Namikaze, a disciple of Kawakaze Hatake."

Hiruzen hesitated slightly, aware of the impression Tsunade had left on Hashirama and Tobirama.

"Huh?"

Hashirama's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Tsunade.

You... my little gambling addict... did this?

"Don't underestimate your granddaughter."

"But I won't deny that Kawakaze played a big role in helping her."

Mito didn't hesitate to smack Hashirama on the back of the head.

She had been more than satisfied with Tsunade's leadership during her tenure.

"Good kid. Not bad."

"Go on."

The more Tobirama looked at Kawakaze, the more he approved of him.

He had already credited everything to Kawakaze, dismissing any contributions Tsunade might have made.

As far as he was concerned, she was still less capable than Hiruzen.

"Madara Uchiha didn't actually die back then."

Kawakaze had barely spoken when Hashirama immediately cut in.

"Impossible! I killed him with my own hands."

Hashirama's expression darkened.

How could Madara have faked his death right under his nose?

"He had prepared a transcription seal in advance, storing Izanagi in his right eye."

"That's how he managed to escape your perception."

"Not only that, but he obtained your cells and spent decades integrating them into his body. Eventually, he awakened the Rinnegan."

"By the time the war began, he was already at death's door, relying on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to sustain his life."

"I killed him and retrieved his body."

"But recently, someone used Impure World Reincarnation to bring him back—and with the Rinnegan, he has now revived himself completely."

As Kawakaze explained, Hashirama and Tobirama's expressions grew increasingly grim.

No one knew Madara Uchiha better than they did.

His return could only mean one thing—disaster for the entire ninja world.
