Chapter 98 Officially Entering the Village

In the early morning in the Senju tribe's territory, there should only be birdsong and the sound of brooms.

But today, the tranquility was shattered by a vibrant voice.

"Everyone assemble! Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

Kushina Uzumaki stood with her hands on her hips in the center of the main house's courtyard, her signature red hair dancing like flames in the morning light.

She specially changed into a brand new set of casual clothes today, and even pinned the hair clip that Minato gave her in the most conspicuous position.

In front of her, two little radish heads and a skinny radish stood in a row.

Kana Uzumaki, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was wearing slightly oversized new clothes. She was tightly clutching the hem of her older sister Mizuki's clothes, and her big eyes were blinking.

Mizuki stood upright, somewhat reserved, clearly not yet accustomed to this lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Shizune, who was holding Tuntun, was yawning helplessly, clearly having been forcibly pulled up.

Listen carefully!

Kushina cleared her throat, perfectly embodying the demeanor of a boss.

"Today is a big day. We're going to complete the official entry procedures and registration for Mizuki and Kana. From today onwards, you are legal villagers of Konoha, and you are under my protection, Kushina Uzumaki."

"Yes! Kushina-neechan!" Kana, though unaware of what had happened, still raised her little hand and cheered.

"You're in good spirits." Kushina nodded in satisfaction, then turned and shouted into the shadows of the corridor, "Hey! You there, can you hurry up? How can you keep your three adorable juniors waiting?"

From the shadows, a languid figure slowly emerged.

Tsunade was wearing her signature green coat, her brows furrowed, her face radiating a low mood, and she was holding a freshly opened bottle of milk in her hand.

"Shut up, brat."

Tsunade took a sip of milk, annoyed. "It's just a formality. Couldn't the butler have taken you? Why did you have to drag me along?"

"That won't do!"

Kushina walked over confidently, grabbed Tsunade's sleeve, and started dragging her outside.

"That guy Che said I'm a minor, so my signature has no legal effect. It needs to be signed by a beautiful, respected, and influential woman in the village as my guardian!"

"Hmph, that kid knows how to talk."

Hearing this string of flattery, Tsunade's expression softened slightly, although she knew very well that it was probably something Kushina had made up on the spot to recruit men.

"Alright, I'll go then. I also need to buy some... cough, some drinks."

The group of five walked out of the gate of the Thousand Hands Clan's territory in a grand procession.

Walking down the street, Kushina was still in a state of high excitement.

She walked at the front, clearing the way, like a proud little rooster.

Mizuki led Kana behind, Shizune carried the pig in the middle, and Tsunade brought up the rear with a "keep away" look on her face.

This strange combination—three redheads, one blackhead, a pig, and a blond legendary ninja—is guaranteed to turn heads.

After walking for a while, Kushina suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the rooftops and utility poles around her.

Empty.

The presence of those spies who used to swarm her like flies had completely vanished today.

"what?"

Kushina blinked, looking at Tsunade behind her in disbelief.

"There really aren't any ANBU following us!"

"nonsense."

Tsunade yawned lazily, her eyes casually sweeping over a few passersby who seemed to be chatting at the street corner—they were also members of the Anbu. The moment they met Tsunade's gaze, they immediately stiffened and turned away, pretending to look at the scenery.

"With me here, which blind ANBU member would dare to come up and invite trouble? Sarutobi-sensei isn't that stupid."

The intimidating presence of one of the Three Ninja is the best passport.

Kushina's eyes lit up instantly.

There was no surveillance, no tail, only companions and a backer.

"marvelous!"

She grabbed Mizuki and Kana's hands: "Come on! Let's not worry about those annoying stares anymore, we're going to explore every corner of Konoha today!"

……

Konoha Administrative Department, Household Registration Office.

The efficiency of processing matters here is usually directly proportional to the mood of the clerk, and today, the clerk is clearly not in a good mood.

"Queue up, everyone queue up, what's the rush!"

The middle-aged clerk, wearing black-rimmed glasses, impatiently tapped the table and pointed to the long queue in front of him.

As soon as Kushina and the children entered the room, they frowned at the noisy environment.

"So many people..." Mizuki felt a little intimidated and subconsciously wanted to back down.

"What are you afraid of!" Kushina patted her chest. "Watch me!"

She strode over to the expedited window, which was only open to ninjas, and slammed the application form on the table.

"Uncle! We need to process our citizenship paperwork! We're from the Uzumaki clan!"

The clerk looked up, adjusted his glasses, glanced at Kushina's forehead (she wasn't wearing a headband today), then looked at the children in casual clothes behind her, and said calmly:

"Little friend, this is the ninja special window. Commoners applying for citizenship go over there to line up, get a number, fill out a form, and wait for approval, which takes about three business days..."

"What? Three business days?"

Kushina's red hair was almost flying up as she pointed to the police department's stamp on the application form: "Look closely, we're talents recruited by the police department, specially approved by Assistant Nishikawa Tetsu!"

"Nishikawa's assistant?" The clerk paused, remembering how his wife had been praising the kid's pepper spray invention lately, then curled his lip: "The police department handles public order, not household registration. Without the Hokage Building's approval, everyone has to wait in line."

"You!" Kushina was furious and was about to explode.

A slender, fair hand reached over her shoulder and gently pressed against the counter.

"Thump."

The sound wasn't loud, but the solid wood countertop made a "crack" sound, and a crack quickly spread along the hand.

The clerk was startled and looked in the direction of the hand.

Tsunade was staring at him impatiently, her golden ponytail swaying slightly behind her head, and the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead seemed to emanate a chill.

"I am their guardian."

Tsunade's voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable air of dominance.

"I'm a bit angry right now. I don't want to wait in line or wait three business days. Can you help me?"

The clerk looked at the face, then at the nearly broken table, and let out a strange cry that sounded like a duck being choked.

"Tsunade-sama?!"

The next second, the clerk seemed to have been put on fast forward.

"No problem! Absolutely no problem! I'll get it done right away! I'll handle it as a special case! I'll handle it as a special case!"

He grabbed the form quickly, stamping it with such speed that it was almost a blur, and even the "review" process was instantly changed to "approved".

"Alright! Here's your residence permit and your citizenship certificate, both are here!"

In less than three minutes, all the procedures were completed.

Tsunade withdrew her hand, patted the sawdust off the table, and nodded in satisfaction: "Thanks."

Then she turned around and raised an eyebrow at the dumbfounded Kushina and Mizuki.

"Let's go, don't block their work."

As she stepped out the door, Kushina looked at the warm documents in Mizuki and Kana's hands, then glanced at Tsunade walking ahead as if nothing had happened, her eyes filled with admiration.

"The first in the kingdom... is this the privilege of the strong?"

"No," Shizune added softly from the side, "this is just Lady Tsunade's privilege, isn't it?"

……

With the business done, it's time for Kushina to shine.

"Since we're celebrating our citizenship, we absolutely have to go out and have something good to eat!"

Kushina waved her hand and led everyone straight to the Ganligan Dessert Shop.

"Boss! Five servings of the largest red bean yokan, and three-colored meatballs, please!"

Sitting on an outdoor bench, several girls chattered as they shared sweets.

"Is this pink pig really edible?" Kana poked the pig's belly.

"Pfft—" Shizune almost spat out the water she had just drunk. "Tonton is a pet, you can't eat it!"

"But it looks delicious..."

"Can't!"

Watching the two little ones interact, Mizuki's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.

She took a bite of the cloyingly sweet dumpling, looking at the bustling crowds on the streets of Konoha, and at the noisy but kind-hearted people around her.

There was no pursuit, no hunger, and no need to pay with blood for survival.

Tears suddenly fell onto the meatball.

"What's wrong?" Kushina patted her shoulder casually. "Is it not good? Then I'll take you to eat ramen. I know a new one that just opened..."

"No, it's delicious."

Mizuki raised her head and revealed a bright smile, even though tears were still on her face.

"It's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life."

Tsunade sat on a bench to the side, holding a bottle of sake she had just bought. She looked at the group of children and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She tilted her head back and took a swig of wine.

"Peace... it really is something that makes people weak."

but.

She glanced at Kushina, who was wiping Kana's mouth.

"Perhaps, this is the kind of Konoha that is worth protecting."

The sunlight shone on everyone, warm and cozy.
