Naruto: The Fifth Hokage Is Naruto's Uncle

Tsunade returned to the village.

Walking in the streets of the village, listening to the heated discussions about her by the surrounding villagers, her expression darkened.

"What is the old man doing? Didn't I already say that I just came back just to take a look, why did he made such a big fuss?"

Fortunately, she had the foresight to use the [Transformation Jutsu] in advance, otherwise a large number of excited villagers would have gathered around her, blocking the way.

Hiruzen, who had already received news of Tsunade's return to the village, was waiting nervously in the Hokage Office.

This was the first time that he expected Tsunade to return to the village so much.

There were sweat stains on the palms of my hands due to nervousness.

Suddenly, the door to the Hokage Office was violently pushed open.

Hiruzen's eyes lit up.

There were only two people who could break into the Hokage Office in this way.

Danzo was dead, so the only one was...

"Old man! What the hell are you doing? Didn't I already emphasize that the news of my return must be kept secret?"

Tsunade pressed one hand on the door frame, looking quite unhappy.

Along the way, every villager knew that she was coming back to the village, making it seem like a planned event.

"You are finally back Tsunade!"

Hiruzen's wrinkled face brightened, and he stepped forward to greet her.

"Stop it!"

Tsunade leaned back in disgust.

"I made it very clear that I came back just to see the one called Tenzo."

"Wait a moment, I will call Tenzo over immediately."

Hiruzen summoned an Anbu member and gave him some instructions.

After a while.

Tenzo, wearing Anbu uniform, appeared in the Hokage Office with a ninja sword on his back.

"Hokage-sama, I was told that you summoned me."

After accepting the news of Danzo's death, Tenzo's identity had swiftly changed from a Root member to an Anbu member.

The same dark base, the same daily training, but the attention he received was much more than that at the Root base.

Tsunade looked Tenzo carefully.

There was a mask on his face, but it's not hard to see the young boys' appearance.

There was no physical resemblance to her grandfather Senju Hashirama.

"Tenzo, can you show me your Wood-style?"

Nodding, Tenzo stretched out his right hand, and in his palm, a young sapling sprouted.

'No doubt about it!'

'It's really Wood-style!'

Tsunade's eyes narrowed.

Although it was still very immature, he does have the same Kekkei Genkai as her grandfather, and was definitely the Wood-style!

'After so many years of silence, will a new Wood-style ninja be finally born?'

"Take good care of this child!" Tsunade turned to stare at Hiruzen.

She reminded him in an almost threatening tone, "Wood-style is not a tool for you to abuse. If anything happens to him, old man, I will not forgive you!"

"Cough! Cough! Of course, I will take good care of him."

Hiruzen could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

He knew that Tsunade was implying about him taking Tenzo into the Anbu.

As soon as he escaped from the clutches of the Root, he fell into the pit of Anbu.

Tsunade was dissatisfied with this decision.

Wood-style should be well protected.

Rather than just moving from one place to another like a task-completing tool.

"Don't worry, I have decided to train Tenzo with all my strength. As the second owner of the Wood-style Kekkei Genkai in history, his potential is unmatched!"

Hiruzen made a solemn and sincere promise.

This was what he thought.

He wanted Tenzo to be trained into a figure like Senju Hashirama!

'With the same Wood-style, maybe he can really do it one day in the future.'

Tenzo, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly felt a warm hand covering his head.

"The name Tenzo is too rigid. I'll give you a new name. How about Yamato?"

The carefree Tsunade decided on a new name for Tenzo almost without thinking.

'Yamato?'

Before Tenzo could recover, he saw Hiruzen's face stiffen next to him.

He had just decided on the name Tenzo not long ago, but he didn't expect that he would have to change it as soon as Tsunade came back.

But speaking of it, Tsunade, as the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, was indeed qualified to give Tenzo a name.

So he nodded, "Then Tenzo, from now on you will be called Yamato."

"Yes."

Yamato nodded dully.

Compared to Tenzo, the name Yamato does seem to sound better.

After receiving a brand new name, Yamato left.

Tsunade and Hiruzen were left alone in the Hokage Office again.

"Old man, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

"Wait!"

Before Tsunade could take a step forward, she was stopped by Hiruzen.

She glanced over and said in a slightly unhappy tone.

"Old man, I had made it very clear, don't try to use those political crap with me."

Since Hiruzen succeeded to the position of Hokage, the village had become a mess steadily.

Konoha, the head of the Five Great Ninja Villages, was full of politics and conspiracies.

Tsunade hated that kind of things.

So she rather left the village and wandered around the casino.

"It's different this time. I beg you, Tsunade."

Hiruzen lowered his posture and looked almost like he was pleading.

He, Hiruzen, had never asked for help from anyone in his life (at least he thinks so), but this time was different.

In the past few days, the image of Danzo's death had been replaying in his mind.

All he could count on was Tsunade.

Tsunade, who had never seen Hiruzen in such a posture, finally relented and asked.

"Old man, what exactly do you want from me?"

"I want you to be Hokage!"

"No need to say any more!"

Tsunade immediately shut him off.

"Old man, there's no need to talk about things like me being Hokage. I don't want to have so many tedious things on my shoulders."

As she was speaking, she seemed to realize something and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You asked me to return to the village because you didn't want Minato's brother to become Hokage?"

Hiruzen looked slightly embarrassed, "It seems I can't hide it from you."

Tsunade took a breath and looked at him deeply.

"I will go talk to Mirai. As for the Hokage matter, there is no need to think about it for the time being."

"Is that so?"

Hiruzen nodded.

Although Tsunade didn't immediately agree to become Hokage, it would be a big help if she could go and talk to Mirai.

…

Tsunade decided to visit the Uchiha clan.

According to the information obtained from Hiruzen, Mirai now lived in the Uchiha clan district.

Even his nephew Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

"Tsunade-sama, I think this is not a very good idea."

Shizune, who was holding Tonton, was a little nervous. The Uchiha clan district was in front of her.

She had heard that Uchihas were a group of very difficult people to get along with. Wouldn't there be any problems if they enter so recklessly?

"Shizune, if you are worried, you can wait for me outside."

"No! I want to go with you."

Shizune's head immediately shook like a rattle.

Wherever Tsunade goes, she goes too.

The Uchiha member who was guarding the entrance to the Uchiha clan district only blinked, doubting his own eyes.

"You, you are..."

Tsunade looked at him calmly.

"Please tell Namikaze Mirai that Tsunade has come to visit him."
