"I thank you for your offer but I have to decline."
"Of Course you would accept- What?? you decline??? Do you know who I am???" She screamed as she realized that she was rejected and thought they must not know about her.
"Of course I know who you are, you are Granddaughter of The first Hokage Hashirama Senju and the princess of the uzumaki clan Mito uzumaki. Also you are the student of the current Hokage and a Jonin ninja."
Hearing Tsukimi's plain tone Tsunade's expression twitched and Mito narrowed her eyes, she was surprised that someone rejected her granddaughter even after knowing her identity. She also noticed that he introduced her as the Uzumaki princess but chose to brush it off.
"Why then? If you know who I am, why are you rejecting me?" Tsunade asked in frustration, even her chakra leaked a little.
'Well You are weak and do you think I can not see through your true intentions. Do you think I am a child?' Tsukimi thought while maintaining calm composure on the outside as he replied.
"I do not want to feel indebted to you, you have already done more than enough saving us in the war."
Before Tsunade could reply Tsukimi looked at Mito and asked.
"Can you tell us when the academy will start so we can join as well."
Mito looked back at him with an amused expression on her face, Tsunade was fuming in anger. She wanted to smash her fist in the boy's head but she was unable to act because of the presence of her grandmother.
"Although the academy has started, I can help you join it if you have anything special about yourselves." Mito glanced at the three kids before replying.
Her meaning was simple, if they were worthy enough she could let them join even though they are past the date of joining.
She just wants to test the kids, how powerful they are and what secrets they have.
Tsukimi raised eyebrows hearing her response and realized what she was planning.
'I should join now, so that I can meet the promising kids of the clans. They might have something amusing that might catch my eye.'
Tsukimi thought about his future host while making a decision. He did not want to just blindly follow the knowledge of the anime to get himself a host.
"We have strong bodies, I can sense everything around me." Tsukimi replied while choosing some basic abilities as a cover.
He can use all types of bloodline limits but he did not want to show that to anyone. He was too lazy to deal with someone like danzo on his ass.
Yet a strong body alone was not enough to catch Mito's interest so he added that he was a sensor too.
Mito got curious and asked back, "Have you ever used your chakra before? How far can you sense?"
Tsunade was also intrigued hearing his response, sensor type ninja were rare and those with strong bodies were even rare.
She did not even believe that he had a strong body, she Just thought how strong a thin kid's body would be.
Tsukimi replied calmly, "Even though we have awakened our chakra we haven't used it besides some basic practice. I can sense around the 10 meter radius currently."
Tsukimi's reply caught Mito off-guard. Afterall the radius of a 10 meter was not something to scoff at that too for someone who is not even a genin.
Thinking of his words as baseless boasting, Tsunade could not take it anymore and decided to interject. "Kid, it's not good to lie. Let me test if you truly have a good body."
Hearing her words Mito paused and thought it was good to test them.
"What do you think?"
She asked the boy thinking he might back down but to her surprise he nodded.
"Let's go outside, you three can attack me together." Seeing him nod, Tsunade happily walked towards the training grounds while instructing.
Mito also followed to watch in on the fun.
In the Senju training grounds, three small figures stood facing Tsunade.
She looked at them while telling them the rules of the spar.
"You three can come at me and land a hit on me." Seeing the blank look her grandmother was giving her at her shameless act she coughed and added. " I will only use genin level power and no techniques."
She sighed seeing the look on Mito's face disappear.
"You can start anytime." Tsunade declared and Tsukimi did not move from his place and looked at the girls beside him.
'Don't kill her.' Tsukimi sent a mental message to them to which they snorted. They really wanted to kill her during this match.
Tsukimi sighed and added, 'just use the power of a civilian and make it look like you are going all out.'
They did not need to use extra power because Tsukimi knew they would not have the difficulty of controlling their strength.
In the beginning of their control training he has been teaching them how to control their strength using eggs.
Yes eggs, the most delicate things they can hold without breaking, is the best form of training for them.
Although it took them many time of trial and error, they finally can use the power of a normal human to some extent but their bodies are still stronger than every human being out there.
"If you are done with your talking, come at me." Seeing them not moving, Tsunade did not rush things and decided to let them do whatever they wanted.
But her patience was running low.
Tsukimi nodded at his girls and they dashed at the woman from all the sides to attack her.
Tsunade was surprised to see their speed was comparable to some low level genins. Her expression was still playful as she dodged the girls' attacks while keeping an eye on Tsukimi.
To her surprise the girls were not only fast but also were skilled in fighting. Matatabi used her small figure to twist and change the direction of her attack.
This caused a slight distraction to appear in her mind and Tsukimi took this chance to strike her in the stomach.
Tsunade got aware of the attack but she could not dodge it without using power greater than genin.
*Boom*
