Chapter 193: Tsunade, You're Not Leaving the Village

"For me?"

Hearing Uchiha Mirai's answer, Tsunade couldn't help but raise her arm, pointing a finger at herself in disbelief.

Her face showed an expression of sheer incredulity.

"Actually, I acquired the power of Wood Release long ago, and I had originally planned to release the Edo Tensei technique right away..."

"But then I heard about your story from Orochimaru, so I changed my mind."

Tsunade blinked in surprise, her curiosity piqued. "Why would my story make you change your decision?"

Mirai replied calmly, "You were born as the princess of the Senju Clan, practically with a silver spoon in your mouth."

"During the prime of the Senju Clan, the height of their glory, you were the jewel of Konoha."

"But life is unpredictable, and what came after..."

"No need to dwell on it."

Mirai shook his head, refraining from rubbing salt into old wounds. Instead, he skipped over those painful memories and continued, "You've wandered alone for so long. I think deep down, you must long for the warmth of a home."

"That's why I asked the First and Second Hokage to spend as much time with you as possible."

After listening to him, Tsunade scoffed and folded her arms.

"I don't have any ties with you, and I don't particularly like the Uchiha Clan."

"So, what exactly is your goal in doing all this?"

Mirai smiled faintly. "If I must have a reason..."

"Tsunade, stay in Konoha from now on."

"The true culprits have been dealt with. Both the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan were victims."

"Let's rebuild the glory of our clans together."

Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.

"I don't care about any of that."

"So don't think you can use such reasoning to make me stay in Konoha."

Mirai wasn't surprised by her response.

He never expected a few words to win her over.

Instead, he waved her off. "If there's nothing else, you may leave. I'll release the Edo Tensei tonight. Use this time to properly say your goodbyes to the First and Second Hokage."

Without saying another word, Tsunade left the Hokage's office.

As she stepped outside, a sly smile curved her lips.

"An Uchiha with a heart this soft? What a fool."

"Baka~"

Watching her departure, Mirai deactivated his Byakugan.

"It seems the conversation went well enough."

Tsunade's reaction spoke volumes.

Although she hadn't pledged loyalty or allegiance, it was clear her opinion of him had softened.

After all...

Setting aside his Uchiha identity, Uchiha Mirai was undeniably admired by many.

A war hero who had risked his life to protect his comrades, a reformer who restructured the police force for the people, and a selfless leader who had eradicated corrupt figures like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

With such accolades, his goodwill was hard to doubt.

This was also one of the reasons why Mirai chose not to use brute force to deal with Hiruzen and Danzo.

Looking back, the strategy had proven effective.

"Tsunade... you can't escape."

Mirai set aside the scroll in his hand, deep in thought about his next steps.

"System!"

With a soft command, a translucent sky-blue panel appeared before Mirai's eyes.

[Name: Uchiha Mirai]

[Physique: 4636]

[Mental Strength: 4610]

[Chakra: 4641]

[Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyou Sharingan! Magnet Release - Gold Dust! Scorch Release! Shikotsumyaku! Boil Release! Illusion - Five Senses Manipulation! Byakugan! Wood Release! Rinnegan!]

[Ninjutsu: ... Wind Release - Rasenshuriken! Five-Layer Rashomon! Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!]

[Other: ... Natural Energy Affinity! Senju Body! Superhuman Strength! Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode!]

[Dojutsu: Amaterasu, Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto, Takamagahara, Susanoo, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto, Kotoamatsukami, Kamui!]

Looking at the myriad abilities displayed on the panel, Mirai couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

From starting with a handful of low-level jutsu to amassing an overwhelming array of Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques...

And with all his attributes surpassing 4600 points, he felt invincible.

Even a Tailed Beast, with its massive form, would likely be sent flying with a single punch at full strength.

...

Knock! Knock! Knock!

A series of knocks interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in," he said calmly.

Tsunade strode in with her usual confidence. "Uchiha Mirai!"

Noticing her annoyed demeanor, Mirai's gaze flicked over her briefly before he smiled.

"Tsunade, how are you finding life in Konoha?"

Her expression darkened instantly. "Not great! I want out!"

Mirai had recently placed her in Konoha Hospital, assigning her to train medical ninja and record her medical expertise onto scrolls.

The workload had left Tsunade utterly exhausted, and she was growing increasingly frustrated with him.

So this time, she'd come to demand permission to leave the village.

But upon hearing her request, Mirai immediately shook his head.

"Tsunade, you can't leave the village right now."

Her brow furrowed. "Why not?!"

Mirai pulled out a stack of scrolls from his desk.

"These are all documents from other nations. They contain detailed records of your debts."

Tsunade glanced at them dismissively and tossed them back on his desk.

"Sure, I owe a lot of money. So what?"

Mirai smirked. "When they found out you'd returned to Konoha, they sent those debt notes here."

"The village had no choice but to pay them off to avoid any public embarrassment."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? And then?"

Mirai clasped his hands under his chin and stared at her calmly.

"The village covered those debts for you. Until you repay the money, you're not allowed to leave."
