Chapter 14
Sitting on my comfy chair with Fuuka and Nonou at my sides, both of them cannot help but be amazed by the growth of these kids that I have adopted as my little brothers and little sisters where all of them continue to absorb every knowledge that we taught to them
Assassination, espionage, medical arts, chakra technique, hand seals, close combat, weapon arts, throwing arts, and many other things alongside their bloodline limit, all of them continue to improvise themselves to become stronger to be useful for their big brother in order to repay his kindness for saving them from their fate
Such a commendable devotion
"Incredible, aside from the other four, Kimimaro himself is already skilled enough to dispatch any chuunin level combatant at his young age, if he manages to get himself a sneak attack chance, even killing a jounin level enemy is possible", Nonou comments from my side
"Is that your judgment as a former member of Root, Nonou?"
"Yes, even I am not confident enough to defeat him in close combat if he uses his bloodline limit", replies Nonou to my question
"What about your opinion on the others, Nonou?"
Hearing my question, Nonou began to give us her opinions about the progress of my little brothers and little sisters
"First is Karin, because of her Uzumaki lineage, the knowledge of medical arts, and close combat from Tsunade that we have transferred into her mind has been fully integrated without any rejection, allowing her to let herself use and improvise the usage of those skills freely without any restriction, at this rate, we can probably call her the next Tsunade in making"
"Other than that, she is a fast learner when it comes to chakra control and the usage of any chakra technique, additionally, she is also capable of using the special technique that belongs to the Uzumaki clan such as [Heal Bite] and [Mind Eye]"
Listening to Nonou's analysis, I can't help but smirk to myself after knowing that picking up Karin is indeed a correct choice, not to mention that she can use her body to please me once she has matured enough, but I decided to leave it for later and told Nonou to continue
"Next is Chino, she has undergone the same treatment as Karin, The only difference is Chino is more weapon-oriented when it comes to close combat, She also slowly begins to master the usage of her [Blood Dragon Eyes] in combat by using its illusionary property or straight up turn her victim into a living bomb, another deadly combination if trained and nurtured properly"
"Finally, Haku and Nowaki, since both of them possess an elemental type bloodline limit, we can only assist them in terms of chakra controls and seals to make sure that their powers are not running amok when they lose their control, but, if trained properly, both of them should be able to create destruction that comparable to a Kage level shinobi, or maybe subduing a tailed beast by themselves"
"Overall, each one of these kids can turn into a powerful subordinate as long as we keep monitoring their progress and assist them when they need it, more so, since they are still young, we can solidify their devotion to become absolute loyalty to you, Kyu-sama"
"That is the end of my analysis, I hope you can accept my judgment, Kyu-sama"
Smiling to myself as I heard Nonou's words, I know that her experience and knowledge as the best espionage master did not crumble from perfection even after being enslaved by my seal
"That is good enough, now, let us talk about my next plans"
Once I said those words, both Fuuka and Nonou immediately focused their attention on me
"Nonou, I want you to focus on guiding these young blood in front of us, teach them everything that you can, spare no effort at all, also make sure to train the girl with some extra knowledge that they need in the future"
"As you wish, Kyu-sama", replies Nonou while nodding her head
"Now, as for Fuuka, we are going to temporarily stop converting merchants into my puppet, now that we have enough puppet merchants, money, and manpower, we are going to move into our next step of creating the merchant's group to gain the monopoly over the trade at the border of the land of fire and the Sea-trading over the land of water and the land of lightning"
"Once we have finished creating the foundation, we will begin to build our base at the island where the ruined Uzushio exist, that place is a good spot that connects at least three nations together"
"I understand, I will follow your order, Kyu-sama"
"Good, I am leaving these to you since I am going to focus my self in learning and researching the new knowledge that Tsunade has sent to me, Other than that, I also have something else with the same importance to do as well"
"Something else you said, Kyu-sama?"
"Yes, I recently discovered a few Kunoichi that can be taken into our rank, three in fact"
"Looks like we are going to get ourselves another new sister, Kyu-sama?", questions Fuuka with a naughty smirk on her face
"Who are they, Kyu-sama?", asks Nonou with a curious expression
"Two of them are Kunoichi from Kumogakure, one of them is the secretary of the fourth Raikage that currently leaving the village to talk about a few businesses with some merchants in the land of Hotspring"
"As for the other one, well, let's just hope that her village abandons her so I can pick her for myself, her scorch release is something valuable after all"
After I finished telling my plans to these two, I decided to leave the place after giving my praises to my little brothers and little sisters to motivate them further
Meanwhile, somewhere within Konoha, untouched by the light of the sun, inside a dimly lit room, a man with a bandage can be seen sitting and listening to the report of his subordinate where he begins to frown the more he hears the contents of the reports
"Continue to observe the target", said the bandaged man to his subordinate
Acknowledging the order, the subordinate leaves the room with a flicker while leaving the bandaged man all alone in his room
'To think that Hiruzen is able to persuade his pupil to return to Konoha, at this rate, she will be chosen as the next Hokage once Hiruzen abdicates his position'
'Not only that, to think that the Uchiha will be the first clan that she wishes to pull into her side, I must not let that happen, after all, Uchiha must be eradicated from this world'
'But the problem is there is nothing left that I can use to disturb her from making any move since there is no Senju left in this world, nor any important individual to her that I can use'
'No, I will continue to observe her moves for now, at least until Orochimaru can finish researching how to implant that thing into my body'
'Not only that, but I also need to get my hands on his eyes, after all, that thing is too dangerous to be left in the hands of an Uchiha like him'
Konoha Hospital, Director Room
About twenty days have passed since she returned to Konoha and began the plans that her master had given to her, Right now, Tsunade can't help but keep her face from smiling while looking at the things in front of her
"It is not exactly easy, but it is worth the effort"
Placed on the table, many small vials that are filled with blood can be seen neatly arranged with a name written on it
"Collections of blood from the Uchiha clan members that are capable of using Sharingan, I am sure that I can help him to create his own Sharingan with these samples"
Being one of the legendary Sannin that has saved many lives from Konoha, Tsunade is solidly labeled as someone that you can trust when it comes to the aspect of medicine and health
Combine it with her easygoing personality that does not discriminate against anyone in the village with her recent friendship with Mikoto Uchiha, and it pretty much clears up and allows almost every civilian Uchiha to drop their guard and visit her to get themselves some number one medical healthcare for a low price
After that, just like how a domino will fall, the non-discriminating acts of Senju Tsunade somehow manage to infiltrate the secluded mind of the Uchiha clan and make them get themselves the same treatment as well, allowing Tsunade to harvest many blood samples from these subjects without they even realize
Although not every Uchiha manages to fall for Tsunade's action, in the eyes of the Uchiha clan, Tsunade is placed in a higher position than Hiruzen himself as someone who willingly connects with their clan
'Kyu-sama is right, if Orochimaru is the one who places himself in my position, the chance of the Uchiha clan willingly letting him touch their body is absolutely zero, but in my case, it is different'
'Being discriminated against has turned the Uchiha clan into a child that wishes for affection, allowing someone like me to slowly bring some of them into my side'
'Although Kyu-sama said that in a few years, the village will plot something to eradicate them from this world, that is none of our business, as long as Mikoto and a few useful slaves are secured, they can die for all they want'
*Knock*Knock*
Hearing a knock on her door, Tsunade cut her inner thoughts as she let whoever the one who knocked on her door enter the room
"Please excuse us, Tsunade-sama"
"Excuse us, Tsunade-sensei"
Opening the door to enter the room, Tsunade was greeted by Mebuki accompanied by the new pupil that she recently took, a black-haired young girl with a purple shirt with the Uchiha symbol on the back of her clothes
"Oh, Mebuki, and Izumi, what is the matter?"
"Tsunade-sama, I am here to give you the reports that you have asked me to do", said Mebuki as she replied to Tsunade's questions
"Alright, just wait a minute, what about you, Izumi?"
"Ah, Tsunade-sensei, I have already finished the task that you have given to me for today", said the young kunoichi of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Izumi
"Impressive, Looks like Fugaku did not make any mistake when recommending you as my pupil"
"Ehehe, thank you, Tsunade-sensei"
"Alright now, you can excuse yourself for today since you have already finished everything that you need to do for the day"
"I understand, thank you for giving me some of your time, Tsunade-sensei", replies the young kunoichi as she leaves the place after excusing herself
Once Izumi left the place, Tsunade was left all alone with Mebuki in this room, letting them drop the facade and resume their business as usual
"It seems that she is growing nicely to you, Tsunade-sama", said Mebuki once she was alone with Tsunade
"Indeed, she is going to be another one of us after all, not, Mebuki, your reports?"
"Ah, yes, it took a while but everything that Kyu-sama has ordered has been prepared within Konoha, all we need is a worker than our master's business will set to go"
"Good, how about Yoshino's side?"
"Yoshino has also made good progress with many ninja clans, especially the Yamanaka and Akimichi clan, she should give you her reports in a few days or so, Tsunade-sama"
"Alright, I will let you two handle the rest, after all, I need to focus on my current task to make sure his next plan will work smoothly without any problem"
"We will do our best, Tsunade-sama", Mebuki said to Tsunade while bowing her head
"That is right, remember, we exist to fulfill anything that he wishes and to make him smile"
"Yes, anything for him, Tsunade-sama"
"Indeed, anything for him"
