Ryun was deeply moved. Even if sothing had happened to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, news would not have gathered so many people in just twelve or thirteen minutes.
What did this an? It ant that Ryun, as Hokage, had won the people’s hearts. This Hokage stood on the side of the villagers, working to secure benefits for everyone.
Perhaps he did not literally represent the people, but in the hearts of the people, he could bring them a better life and more favorable conditions.
Listening to the shinobi’s questions, Ryun cald down from his earlier anger. He even felt a small sense of delight because they had united out of concern for his safety.
"I am fine. Thank you for your hard work. I, Ryun, will rember this kindness. I ask everyone to please attend my wedding tomorrow." Ryun said with a smile. The shinobi present all smiled happily and gradually dispersed.
After everyone left the battlefield, Tsunade stepped forward and took his hand. "Ryun, are you alright? I just heard that Dan Kato tried to assassinate you? Were you hurt anywhere?"
Ryun looked at Tsunade’s anxious expression and felt his heart soften. "It’s alright. I was quite lucky. His Spirit Transformation Technique had no effect on ."
After speaking, Ryun looked at Jiraiya, who was standing dazed nearby. "Thank you. For gathering the troops so quickly out of concern for my safety."
"It’s... it’s nothing." Jiraiya felt sowhat unnatural. He hadn’t revealed everything, only saying that he had discovered the assassination attempt on Ryun.
Ryun nodded. He wrapped his right arm around Tsunade and used his left hand to stroke her hair, soothing her anxious heart.
The corners of Tsunade’s eyes were red, clearly frightened badly. She had heard of the Spirit Transformation Technique. It ignored distance, taking a person’s head from a thousand miles away as easily as reaching into a bag.
Moreover, those with low spiritual power couldn’t detect it at all, and those with high spiritual power had no way to fight back, only being worn down to death.
Although Ryun’s combat strength was powerful, she had never heard of him having the ability to attack the soul. Therefore, when she heard that Dan Kato had attempted to assassinate the Hokage, her face turned pale. She imdiately gathered troops with Jiraiya and notified Madara Uchiha. Upon receiving the news, Madara also looked grave and imdiately took command, preparing to march out.
Ryun looked at Madara Uchiha. The grandfather and grandson had spent a long ti together and had this tacit understanding. Then Madara made a hand gesture to him: "We’ll talk at ho." Imdiately after, he grabbed Jiraiya by the scruff of the neck and flashed away from the place.
Ryun continued to stroke Tsunade’s head. After her emotions stabilized, he suddenly said, "Tsunade, how are you? Feeling better?"
Tsunade glared at him. "There was never anything wrong! It’s all your fault!" As she spoke, her tears suddenly flowed. Ryun quickly took out a handkerchief, squatted down, and wiped Tsunade’s tears.
"My fault, my fault, for making our Lady Tsunade worry. Look, you’ve cried into a little ss." Ryun said with a light smile.
Looking at Ryun’s smile at this mont, Tsunade gritted her teeth lightly. How could this man be like this? So gentle and handso when comforting people, it’s so unfair!
Finally, under Ryun’s sweet words, Tsunade succumbed. Her sadness was eventually replaced by joy, and she entered the village with a smile on her face and Ryun by her side.
At night, after waiting for Tsunade to fall asleep, Ryun walked from the Senju clan compound towards the Uchiha clan compound.
His expression was calm, as if nothing had happened today, as if he wasn’t the one who was assassinated, and he didn’t even care about that Black Zetsu.
In reality, this wasn’t the case. Ryun had now severed his connection with Black Zetsu. Finding him would be harder than reaching the sky. Therefore, rather than thinking about how to guard against him, it was better to empty his mind and live in the present.
He was getting married tomorrow, so of course the wedding took priority. As for Black Zetsu, a light flashed in Ryun’s eyes. He planned to keep the Soul Perception Technique activated all day for defense against Black Zetsu. He even intended to teach this technique to Tsunade, Madara, and other relatives and friends. With Dan Kato’s Spirit Transformation Technique, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir within the Soul Perception Technique.
Ryun looked up at the starry sky and comprehended a truth.
"Overthinking the future is no different from killing your present self. Words not yet spoken, the outco has already been played out a thousand tis. Body not yet moved, the heart has already crossed ten thousand mountains. Actions not yet completed, imaginary sufferings cause endless worry. Matters already concluded, the past still plays out in the mind."
"Live to please yourself, not be trapped by others. If you beco extrely nervous over a small matter, you instead lose the upper hand."
Pushing open the main gate of the Uchiha clan compound, Ryun looked up and saw Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha sitting on stools beside the stone table. Even Hirotomo Uchiha had co.
Although Hirotomo Uchiha was doing the work of serving tea and water, he still looked at Ryun with deep concern.
The glory of the Uchiha clan, the status of the Uchiha clan, the future of the Uchiha clan—to put it bluntly, it was all tied to Ryun.
If possible, he wished Ryun could even inherit the position of Uchiha clan head. But Ryun had said, "Having both the clan head and Kage positions on would make the tree too big and attract the wind!" And using this as a reason, he persuaded Hirotomo to peacefully remain the Uchiha clan head.
But this didn’t an Hirotomo Uchiha didn’t care about Ryun! On the contrary, within the Uchiha clan, he was the shinobi most concerned with Ryun’s life and safety, after Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha.
"You’re back?" Grandpa Madara spoke.
"Mn, I’m back." Ryun replied calmly.
"That little girl, Tsunade..." Grandpa Madara continued to ask.
"She’s already asleep." Ryun replied imdiately.
Madara Uchiha fell silent, looking at Ryun. For so reason, his temperant had changed significantly upon returning this ti.
It wasn’t that his previous personality of planning ten steps ahead with every move was bad, but the current Ryun made him feel more like a young man.
Izuna Uchiha asked Ryun a question. "Besides that Dan Kato, who else was there?" He felt things weren’t that simple.
Ryun glanced at Madara Uchiha, which confused Madara. Why are you looking at ? What does this have to do with ?
"Granduncle, I wonder if you still rember Black Zetsu?" Ryun uttered a na.
"Of course I rember. It is the embodint of my will. By the way, now that you ntion it, I almost forgot I haven’t seen it for a long ti." Madara Uchiha nodded.
Izuna Uchiha suddenly spoke up to remind him. "Brother, what Ryun ans is that besides that obvious Dan Kato tonight, this Black Zetsu was the real mastermind behind the assassination attempt."
Ryun nodded. Sure enough, his own grandfather understood him best. Smart, he imdiately deduced what he wanted to express.
Madara Uchiha shook his head. "Impossible. Black Zetsu could always accurately state my desires, the things I wanted to do. Even though I have already abandoned the Eye of the Moon Plan now..."
Madara Uchiha was always so blindly confident. Although he had the strength to match it, this also created his arrogant personality. This was directly related to Black Zetsu’s stabbing him in the heart, betrayal and sneak attacking him in the original work.
Black Zetsu was very good at observing people’s hearts, using people’s hearts, and destroying people’s hearts. Therefore, Ryun felt that guessing Madara Uchiha’s goals wasn’t a difficult thing.
