After things calmed down, everyone moved to the tea room.
Tenzo and Shizune respectfully greeted the Third Hokage.
As the younger generation, Itsuki should have been the one serving tea.
But under Tsunade's deadly glare, Itsuki could only sit down obediently and let Shizune handle everything.
"Old man, you really do get around. I just met Itsuki, and before we could even talk, you showed up. Truly worthy of being Hokage."
As soon as she sat down, Tsunade couldn't help but mock Sarutobi Hiruzen.
She really hadn't wanted to meet the Third Hokage right now.
That was why she snuck in disguised with a Transformation Jutsu.
The reason was simple—Hiruzen, growing older, wanted someone to share the burden of leadership.
If Tsunade openly returned, she would be forced into responsibility, and refusing would not be an option.
But at this moment, she only wanted to confirm Itsuki's background and train him herself.
Politics and trivial affairs didn't interest her in the slightest.
"Since you already know about Itsuki, you were bound to come looking for him," the Third said calmly, ignoring Tsunade's sarcasm.
"So, I just kept watch on Itsuki's movements. I knew I'd catch you eventually.
"In fact, even if you hadn't shown up, I was planning to summon you back to the village and place Itsuki under your personal protection. But your whereabouts have been so erratic over the years that even if I wanted to deliver the message, I couldn't."
"Don't give me polite talk!" Tsunade cut him off, waving her hand sharply. "I want the truth about Itsuki's life."
Itsuki's heart quickened.
He had always believed he was just another ordinary orphan scraping by.
But now… clearly that wasn't the case.
Senju blood, Uzumaki ties…
Could it even extend to Uchiha?
With the Fabrication System, he had already awakened Wood Release, awakened Sharingan, learned the Strength of a Hundred Seal, and Kagura's Mind Eye.
His identity mattered more than he ever imagined.
The Third Hokage fell silent for a long moment.
But finally, he spoke—he had known Tsunade would not rest until she had answers.
Now that Itsuki had enough power to defend himself, and with Tsunade's protection, revealing the truth carried little risk. In fact, it might even deter enemies.
So he told them the story in detail.
When everyone learned that Itsuki's mother was Uchiha Fugaku's cousin, the room went still.
His paternal line descended directly from the Senju.
His maternal line belonged to the Uchiha.
And his great-grandmother was from the Uzumaki clan.
If this had been the Warring States era or the founding of Konohagakure, Itsuki's lineage would have shaken the entire shinobi world.
If Uchiha Madara himself saw him, he might call him "little ancestor"—and only regret that Itsuki wasn't Hashirama's heir.
Tsunade's joy overflowed. She hugged Itsuki tightly and practically smothered him.
The Senju clan had a future again!
To be honest, Itsuki himself was stunned.
What the hell… Did I just synthesize the Otsutsuki bloodline on my own?!
"So… who was my grandmother?" Itsuki asked eagerly, staring at the Third Hokage. "Hyuga clan? Kaguya clan? Or maybe a Hyuga–Kaguya hybrid?"
The probability's high!
Pfft—
The Third had just taken a sip of tea, and he spat it all over the floor.
Luckily, he turned his head quickly. Otherwise, Tsunade would've punched him straight into the afterlife.
Tsunade chuckled and pinched Itsuki's cheek. "Hyuga I can understand. But Kaguya? You mean the Kaguya clan from Kirigakure?"
Of course it's about Otsutsuki synthesis!
Senju + Uchiha + Uzumaki ≈ Otsutsuki Hagoromo
Hyuga + Kaguya ≈ Otsutsuki Hamura
Hagoromo + Hamura ≈ Kaguya Otsutsuki
If I gather all the bloodlines, train their kekkei genkai to their peak… even without the Ten-Tails, I'd reach a Six Paths level. Maybe even beyond.
Of course, that thought stayed inside his head.
"Auntie, think about it!" Itsuki said seriously.
"The Uzumaki are distant relatives of the Senju, and look how powerful they are. The Hyuga and Kaguya are distant relatives too, so it makes sense."
"If my grandmother isn't Hyuga, then second-best would be Kaguya bloodline!"
"Pfft!" Even Shizune burst out laughing.
"That's quite a dream," Tsunade said with a smile. "But aren't you being a little greedy?"
Still, the way Itsuki reminded her of Nawaki's reckless ambition warmed her heart.
"People should dream. Otherwise, what's the difference between us and salted fish?" Itsuki grinned, enjoying Tsunade's doting look.
[Ding! Congratulations to group member Tsunade! Group level increased from LV0 to LV5. All attributes boosted by 400%!]
The reward was delayed—Itsuki thought the system forgot—but this was massive.
Tsunade froze, then smiled as she ruffled Itsuki's hair.
This… this was what a buff felt like.
400%!
At this moment, she felt like she could flatten half of Konoha with one punch.
Every group member who saw the notification trembled.
So terrifying!
Tsunade, already a legendary veteran, had now multiplied her power fourfold.
What would her full strength look like now?
Even Itsuki shuddered.
If she unleashed a 4x Strength-of-a-Hundred punch on the Fourth Great Ninja War battlefield, even Madara's Susanoo would shatter into dust…
He dared not imagine further.
But Tsunade cared nothing for their fear.
In a rare good mood, she looked at the Hokage. "If you can uncover Itsuki's grandmother's identity, I'll take over the Konoha Hospital."
Hiruzen wanted to agree instantly, but the matter was too complicated.
Still, he only sighed and said, "I'll do my best."
"One more thing," Tsunade said, raising her fist, her eyes cold and fierce.
"If those shady bastards hiding in the dark dare make a move again, I don't care who they are—I'll hunt them down to the ends of the earth."
The Third opened his mouth but found no words.
Sure enough, things had escalated.
"Danzo… in truth, everything he's done was for the village. He deeply respected Tobirama-sensei. Itsuki is Tobirama-sensei's descendant, so—"
But Tsunade cut him off sharply.
"I don't care. Itsuki is my bottom line now. Whoever touches him… will die."
Her killing intent shook the room.
The Third was so stunned he dropped his pipe.
After breaking free of her old burdens, Tsunade's strength was overwhelming.
