After completing her training, Tsunade comes back to where Akabane's waiting for her.
"Grandma is having breakfast right now. I will take you to a stroll around our house while waiting for her." She said it while holding a half-eaten riceball.
Akabane was confused and muttered, "Actually…I can just wait from he—"
But obvious, Tsunade didn't listen and straight grab his hand to stroll around her house.
But either way, Akabane can only keep up.
Both of them walked along the path side by side.
"Our clan's house is huge. I hope you don't feel overwhelmed."
Tsunade said with a smile.
"I–"
Although Akabane wants to say no, she just cut him off from his reply and started to explain about her clan's history and so on.
"Well, as you see earlier, we didn't have a lot of members in the clan. Our goal now is to maintain Konoha's concord while live side by side."
"…"
Akabane decided to remain silent and listen to her chit-chat.
"The biggest one over there is my grandma's yard. I usually live there, but in fact, I have my own space, look this one.."
Tsunade pointed out for him one by one, basically explaining everything that they've passed.
However, Akabane noticed although the Senju Clan is small, the house was put hidden behind, and the Uzumaki clan's symbols were often seen in some inconspicuous places.
Akabane was secretly thinking.
Compared to the Kurama Clan, Senju's physical prowess might be comparable to a beast, and although Kurama Clan is big, comparing it to the declining Senju Clan they won't still stand a chance.
Kurama Clan only have their Kekkei Genkai as an inheritance but not all members can awaken it unlike Senju who have a different kind of sealing jutsu that any family members can use and adding their monster-like physic, Kurama Clan was just like an infant that just learned how to move while the Senju Clan Already know how to run.
"Nothing is interesting here to look. We can only just stroll around while we are waiting for my grandma."
In a few words, Tsunade has already said about the current situation of the Senju clan.
Akabane was slightly overjoyed upon hearing this, and said, "Well then, Let's find a place to take a re–."
"Nope! We can rest later. You need to strengthen those weak muscles of yours."
Tsunade pouted and refused his suggestion without fully hearing it since she knows that he just want to idle while waiting.
"Ah… I can do nothing, can't I?"
Akabane has just accepted his fate since he is the visitor here.
The two were wandering around for half an hour.
"Tsunade-sama, Uzumaki-sama is ready to welcome her visitor." Said a member of the clan.
…
In the yard.
Akabane beholds an elegant figure sitting on a chair. She is slowly reading a small colored comic book on her delicate white hand.
Uzumaki Mito was known to possess a unique chakra. This gives her the power to seal the Nine-tailed Fox within her, thus granted her the name "Jinchuriki," which means "The Power of Human Sacrifice." At this time, she just looks like an ordinary beautiful young woman in her thirties.
"Ah! You must be Tsunade's friend, Akabane. Please have a seat."
Uzumaki Mito arranged two chairs earlier, one near her and the other one was on her front a few distances from her.
Akabane respectfully sat on the chair opposite from her. Tsunade was about to walk over to sit on another chair, but Mito looked up and said, "My child, why are you sitting there? Come and sit next to me."
"Umm, I'm sorry.."
Akabane felt a little bad.
Mito smiled gently at him and then said to Tsunade, "I want to know more about Akabane, Tsunade, please change with him."
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and her expression was a bit upset, she didn't expect the outcome at all.
"Is she jealous?"
Akabane sighed inwardly.
Since Mito is the first Jinchuriki and the heir of the Uzumaki Clan, Sitting next to someone that extraordinary makes him nervous and worry.
Therefore, after changing seats, both of them showed a confused expression.
"My child, is the book that you wrote about the future?"
Uzumaki Mito asked while reading.
"No, it's just my fantasy story."
Akabane has said this many times, and now he has reached the point where he even believes it himself. So it's hard to tell even from her caliber that he was lying about his answer.
"I don't know how long it's been but I've never seen a story this engaging. I thought about it last night. A lot of things from your story make me feel something familiar."
"That's why I asked Tsunade to invite you here."
Uzumaki Mito smiled gently at Akabane, "For example, in the first chapter, your description of the Nine-tailed Fox…"
Akabane suddenly feels waves of chakra fluctuate from Mito.
The feeling is unspeakable.
But before long, she stroked her belly, and the fluctuation disappeared.
"That must be Kyuubi.." Akabane secretly thought.
Akabane was sure that the fluctuations he felt earlier were from Kyuubi.
"From what I've searched and added, Jinchuriki is someone who sealed the Tailed Beasts."
Akabane took the initiative to answer before Mito inquired about it.
"Hahaha, I'll just say… your story is very interesting and very well drawn, but the real Kyuubi is a lot more gentler than what you depicted ."
Mito said.
Afterward, she pointed to the Hokage's Mountain that looks vaguely in the distance and asked, "Is the fourth Hokage the same as what you imagined?"
"Yes, Mito-sama, but I was taking the appearance from someone at my class as a reference."
"I see, hmm? Shinnosuke Sarutobi had a son named Konohamaru?"
"…"
Akabane was a little nervous at first, thinking that Uzumaki Mito was testing the authenticity of the characters within his comic. But after a few questions and answers about how the story progressed, his worry disappeared like smoke.
"Isn't this just a fan seeking spoilers?"
Tsunade felt jealousy at first, but later she listened carefully to Akabane's spoilers, looking curious and excited.
"By the way, will Naruto become Hokage? Or…"
Uzumaki Mito didn't say the second half, but he didn't need to guess the meaning behind her question.
After thinking about it for a moment, Akabane thought of answering honestly, so he coughs lightly, and said: "Mito-sama, this involves the subsequent plot, I can't give you the answer just like ."
Uzumaki Mito was taken aback by his reply, she pondered for a moment and nodded her head, understanding what he meant and said while glancing
at Tsunade.
"It's okay; you can just tell me alone."
Tsunade immediately became anxious when she heard that and said in a very direct tone, "Grandma, I want to know it too!"
"Mito-sama, if I tell you the story now, it would be less interesting."
