Chapter 139

However, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye would not treat his children as tools for his own advancement and just have them recklessly.

That would be irresponsible to the children.

Therefore, finding a mother who could love the children as much as he did, and who could provide powerful aptitude for the children, was Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s primary standard.

As for feelings, they could naturally be cultivated slowly.

"Since Itachi have made your decision, come to Konoha to find me."

Seeing that Princess Asaka was determined, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Kakuzu, escort her safely to Konoha."

Boss Jiao nodded immediately in response.

"Yes, Boss."

After giving his instructions, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye immediately turned into the texture of wood, then slowly shrank, returning to the appearance of that withered branch from before.

Boss Jiao respectfully put it away and sealed it into a scroll.

If he encountered trouble in the future, he could use it one more time.

Although the protection methods Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had given Boss Jiao were not limited to this one, Boss Jiao still cherished it greatly.

This represented the importance Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye placed on him.

Being able to have such a Boss, Boss Jiao was naturally willing to do anything for Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye.

Not to mention the large salary he received every month!

"Let’s set off quickly!"

Princess Asaka said impatiently.

As for the sacrificed guards and handmaidens, she had probably already forgotten about them by now.

Far away in Konoha.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye was closing his eyes to rest when a stream of memories suddenly surged into his brain.

"This is really..."

Learning the news that a little fangirl with the status of a princess was heading his way, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Afterward, he informed his three wives about this matter.

"Since she admires Itachi, husband, Itachi must treat her well."

Uzumaki Kushina displayed the demeanor of a gentle and virtuous eldest sister.

"A princess of the Land of Earth; will this cause any trouble?"

As the Hokage, Senju Tsunade’s perspective on things was clearly different from before.

"Is it Asaka? I remember her; she once came to the Daimyo’s mansion. She is a lively and simple girl."

Maru Shiori had no objections to this.

Although Princess Asaka’s status was the same as hers—also a daughter of a Daimyo.

But she was a wife married to Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, while Princess Asaka was only a concubine.

There was a gap in status, and their personalities were not even comparable.

"Let’s wait until she gets here. If we refuse just like that, we’ll offend the Daimyo of the Land of Earth."

"Although I’m not afraid of him, there’s no need to offend a potential big client."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye said with a smile.

"By the way, Minato’s child is about to be born, right?"

"Ye Cang, remember to remind me to prepare a gift for him when the time comes."

Minato Namikaze was also one of his important combat forces.

Naturally, he had to be properly wooed.

"Understood."

Ye Cang adjusted her glasses and noted this down.

After coordinating with his three wives, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye didn't worry about Princess Asaka’s matter anymore.

At Princess Asaka’s pace, it would take at least three days to reach Konoha.

Such a distant matter wasn't worth his distraction.

Thus.

He went out as usual.

As soon as he stepped out of his house, a little girl ran toward him.

The little girl looked to be only five or six years old.

"Big Brother!"

The little girl called out crisply, her face flushed and looking very excited.

Seeing the cute little girl, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye immediately thought of his own daughter.

He squatted down, a fatherly, loving smile appearing on his face, and reached out to rub the little girl’s head.

"Hello there, little sister?"

Afterward, he noticed the family crest on the little girl’s clothes.

A fan.

"Are Itachi from the Uchiha family?"

He raised an eyebrow.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had thought that the Uchiha people were forbidden from contacting him under Fugaku Uchiha’s orders.

He didn't expect such a little girl to disobey her own clan leader.

"My name is Izumi, Izumi Uchiha!"

"Can I be Big Brother’s bride?"

"I like Big Brother so much!"

The little girl said her name loudly while looking at Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye with anticipation.

"This..."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye smiled, taking it as a child’s joke and not taking it to heart.

"Itachi’re still too young. If Itachi still have this thought in ten years, then come find me."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye rubbed Izumi Uchiha’s little head, then shook his head with a helpless smile and left.

"Izumi is not young anymore."

Izumi Uchiha muttered while rubbing her little head, but a glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

"In ten years, I will be Big Brother’s bride!"

"Izumi needs to grow up fast!"

She took short steps and ran far away in a flash.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye sighed as he walked.

"My charm is truly impossible to contain; it doesn't even spare such a small child."

"I really am a sinful man."

Ye Cang couldn't help but roll her eyes, but a blush appeared on her cheeks.

She had to admit that Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s physical charm was truly too hard to resist.

Just one look, and one would fall deeply into it.

Ye Cang felt that she might not be able to hold out for much longer herself.

"Damn it! Even Tatsuma’s attempt failed?"

Danzo smashed everything on the table in a fit of rage.

The other Root members looked at their noses and hearts, remaining silent.

They acted solely on Danzo’s orders.

Even if Danzo were to kill them now, they wouldn't make a move.

"Damn Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye! Damn Senju Tsunade! Damn Hiruzen Sarutobi! They all deserve to die!"

Danzo waited with scarlet eyes, panting heavily.

If it weren't for these three, he would have surely sat on the Hokage seat he had dreamed of.

But now.
