Ryosuke calmly looked at Tsunade and said, "He can be handled."
Tsunade was slightly a bit surprised. Ryosuke knew it was the Rinnegan and could still be so calm, just how terrifying was his strength?
But she felt a bit more at ease. Tsunade was now more concerned about the identity of the Child of Prophecy.
"Then who is the Child of Prophecy?"
The Child of Prophecy is also extremely important, must be properly nurtured.
Ryosuke replied, "The Child of Prophecy is the son of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato—Uzumaki Naruto."
Tsunade was a bit surprised, the Child of Prophecy turned out to be such a small child. Naruto's parents were both powerful and great ninjas who sacrificed for the village. Being able to guide the reform of the ninja world in the future also made sense.
Kushina was even raised by her personally. But she couldn't help frowning and looked at Ryosuke.
"So that's the reason you adopted Naruto?"
Ryosuke shook his head and said, "Of course not. I just simply thought he was a bit pitiful. As a hero's descendant, he shouldn't suffer abuse and ridicule from the villagers."
Tsunade sighed.
That old Third really acted unreasonably in this matter. After all, Minato was his grand-disciple, so Naruto naturally was also his descendant.
How could he let him suffer such treatment in the village?
Looking at Ryosuke, she said, "Hand him over to me. He must be properly trained to face the future disaster and guide the ninja world's reform."
Ryosuke directly refused and said, "No need for that. He lives very well in the Uchiha clan, being taken care of by Uchiha Mikoto."
"Uchiha Mikoto is Kushina's best friend. You can rest assured."
Tsunade naturally had met Mikoto before. She was indeed very reassured about her, but didn't have a good impression of the rest of the Uchiha clan.
Even Ryosuke wasn't an exception, too flirtatious. To think he had so many women, and she was just one of them. If it were under normal circumstances, Tsunade absolutely would not look at such a playboy, but now with her belly big, there was no choice.
"Then he must be sent to the Ninja Academy to receive formal education."
Ryosuke didn't hesitate and directly agreed. "That's of course fine. But I just gave you face and let Jiraiya go, so now, shouldn't you properly repay me as well?"
Because Tsunade seemed to have started thinking about taking protection measures, which naturally was not allowed.
Tsunade was very puzzled. With the relationship between them, when had she ever not satisfied his strange interests, letting him do as he pleased?
"What repayment?"
Ryosuke smiled and said, "After giving birth to this child, give me a few more."
Tsunade froze on hearing these words, her face went blank, heart was shocked.
This one hasn't even been born yet? Already thinking of having more in the future, was he treating her like a breeding pig?
'Evil guy.'
She replied half-heartedly, "Let's talk about that after this one is born. Future matters can be left for the future."
———
The next day, the news that Jiraiya was arrested and imprisoned for one month for peeking into the women's bath quickly spread throughout the entire village.
The women who heard this news felt greatly satisfied.
"Jiraiya really got thrown into jail. That's just great."
"Now we can bathe in peace."
"This time the Security Force really did a good thing."
———
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another month had passed, and the village had completely stabilized, entering a new phase.
But as Hokage, Tsunade was full of worry on her face.
Because her belly was getting bigger and bigger. Once it got too big, the matter of her pregnancy couldn't be hidden anymore.
At that time, people would naturally know she got involved with someone from the Uchiha clan.
That actually wasn't too big a deal. It could even symbolize reconciliation between the Uchiha and Senju clans.
Thinking about it now, they were all descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, there was really no need to fight to the death.
But there was still a bad point about this matter. That was, Uchiha Ryosuke was just too young.
Wouldn't people mock her as an old cow eating young grass?
Tsunade did have concerns about this point. She was feeling a bit troubled inside. How should she handle this matter?
If she asked for leave, it was uncertain whether it would even be allowed.
And this time the leave would last quite long. At least eight or nine months, even longer than she had been in office.
After much hesitation, she made a decision.
She would ask Kakashi to invite Nara Shikaku, Fugaku, and Hyuga Hiashi to come over.
There was no more time to consider. Within a few days her belly would completely bulge out, and any sharp-eyed person would instantly know she was pregnant.
Kakashi immediately departed after receiving the order. He now served as the Fifth Hokage's Anbu. It was his new position.
Soon, the three clan leaders gathered in the Hokage reception room.
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Fugaku and Shikaku.
"Do you two know why the Hokage-sama called us?"
Hyuga Hiashi was still very puzzled. Because during the previous clan head-level meeting, after Fugaku withdrew from the Hokage election, he had asked Fugaku about it.
The reply he got was that it was Ryosuke's instruction.
Well, nothing could be done then. The true decision-maker of the Uchiha clan was Uchiha Ryosuke.
No one knew what hidden meaning he had in doing this.
And now Konoha was a bit too peaceful. Because the leaders were Tsunade from the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio clans.
Naturally, no clan dared to cause trouble. Their Hyuga clan was the same. Such harmonious days were unimaginable in the past.
Fugaku spoke indifferently, "Actually, I also don't know why Tsunade summoned us."
Recently, the village had been very peaceful, and there were no major incidents.
Shikaku was the same. "I don't know either."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi no longer guessed. They could only wait for Hokage-sama to arrive to know. Not long after, Tsunade arrived at the reception room.
The three stood up and greeted her.
"Hokage-sama."
