Fortunately, the Uchiha clan also has not put forward excessive demands.
Tsunade looked at Shikaku and asked, "Why do you say that? Could it be that you all have some leverage in the hands of the Uchiha clan?"
Shikaku shook his head. "That is not the case, it's just that the information the other party gave us is somewhat shocking."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's heart developed a strong interest. 'What exactly is such shocking information that it could make the three clans and the Inuzuka clan betray their inner sense of justice?:'
"Can you tell me about it?"
Shikaku thought for a moment; there was no problem with that. At that time, not revealing it was only to prevent chaos in the village.
"Alright, I will tell Lady Tsunade the whole story, but I ask Lady Tsunade not to leak it out to prevent chaos in the village."
Tsunade naturally nodded in agreement; she wanted to see exactly what the other party wanted to say.
Seeing Tsunade agree, Shikaku slowly told Tsunade about the scene he saw when Uchiha Ryosuke cast a genjutsu on him.
Tsunade's pupils contracted, her face full of shock. 'What is that? Even all the ninjas of the Five Great Nations combined are no match for a single monster? How could such a terrifying monster exist in the ninja world?'
Even her grandfather, the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, was absolutely incapable of that. Even if the Five Great Nations sent hundreds of thousands of ninjas in consecutive battles, they could still exhaust her grandfather.
Without stamina and chakra, a ninja is no different from an ordinary person.
And that thing—a single shot could destroy Konoha Village—what exactly is it?
"Do you believe this is real?"
Shikaku said helplessly, "Based on my analysis, there is an 80 to 90 percent chance that this is real, because I saw my future child and Yamanaka's future daughter."
"And that monster—doesn't Lady Tsunade find it somewhat similar to a tailed beast? Just a stronger tailed beast."
"Since tailed beasts can exist, then an even stronger Ten-Tails may not necessarily be fake. Perhaps it just has not yet appeared in the current ninja world."
Hearing Shikaku's words, Tsunade remained silent. 'That made a lot of sense. So, it really is true?' Her expression involuntarily became solemn.
A monster capable of destroying Konoha Village with one blast. The village's safety was truly on the verge of danger.
Tsunade asked, "Shikaku, is this the reason you joined the Uchiha clan's guard unit?"
Shikaku explained. "Yes, although I joined the guard unit, I never had the thought of going against the Third Hokage. Besides, while the Uchiha clan's actions are extreme, they are also justified."
"Most importantly, only this man has a way to save Konoha Village and even the entire ninja world."
Tsunade was shocked. Even the Five Great Nations combined could not defeat such a powerful monster that surpassed the Nine-Tails. Her expression became even more serious. "Such a terrifying opponent, and you actually think the Uchiha clan's guys can handle it?"
Her grandfather, Senju Hashirama, was undoubtedly stronger than Uchiha Madara. And Uchiha Madara was naturally the strongest person in Uchiha history. Now there was actually someone even stronger than him.
Shikaku explained. "Actually, Uchiha Ryosuke is very young. His future strength is likely to improve even more. He knew this kind of information yet acted very relaxed."
"It is evident that this person has a way to deal with the monster."
Tsunade was extremely surprised. "Young? How young?"
Shikaku replied. "Sixteen or seventeen, I think."
Tsunade was shocked. 'Isn't that just a recently grown child? How could he possibly be this strong?'
That also meant his future potential was promising, with a lot of room for growth. She was a little curious about this guy. Such a young person with such powerful strength.
But that didn't necessarily mean he could govern the village well, especially since he was from the Uchiha clan.
Being young and impulsive is, in a sense, a good thing. But for someone from the Uchiha clan, that might not necessarily be the case.
And with a great disaster approaching, as a member of the Senju clan, she absolutely could not stand by and watch. This was not only for the village but also for herself.
"Shikaku, what do you think about me running for the Fifth Hokage?"
Shikaku was startled. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Tsunade was not suitable for the position of Fifth Hokage due to her fiery temper.
But Lady Tsunade was actually very responsible. Gambling was just a minor issue; being hot-tempered was actually more suitable for leadership. As the Fifth Hokage, she should be strong-willed.
Most importantly, Tsunade was the granddaughter of Lord Senju Hashirama. Naturally, she had the qualifications to be Hokage. Even more so than the Uchiha clan.
"I think Lady Tsunade is very suitable for the position of Fifth Hokage." Hearing Shikaku say this, Tsunade was very gratified. She was really considering stepping up.
She couldn't place all her hopes on the Uchiha clan. As a member of the Senju clan, she also had the responsibility to protect Konoha Village.
But even with Shikaku's support, to successfully take the position, she still had to overcome the Uchiha clan as an obstacle.
She asked, "Then, do you think if I defeat the Uchiha clan in the race for the Fifth Hokage, they will become angry and seize power by force?"
Tsunade was very confident in herself. The Senju clan's prestige in Konoha Village was unmatched, far surpassing the Uchiha clan.
And her opponent was just a teenage Uchiha youth. No matter how she looked at it, she should have the advantage of experience.
The other party relied more on sheer strength. That clearly could not make everyone fully submit.
Shikaku lowered his head to think for a moment and then answered. "I don't think so. I feel that the Uchiha clan is actually quite reasonable now. At least, I haven't noticed any intention of them seizing power by force. But of course, their desire to rise to power is very strong."
Tsunade also felt that the Uchiha had changed somewhat.
In the past, they were ridiculously arrogant. If they didn't agree with something, they would immediately fight. But now, they were actually being reasonable. That was truly strange.
Seeing Tsunade's interest in running for the Fifth Hokage, Shikaku also had thoughts of supporting her. "If Lady Tsunade runs for Fifth Hokage, then our Ino-Shika-Cho three clans will definitely support you."
He believed that the Uchiha would not target their three clans because of this. That was his intuition.
As for discovering the experimental body of Senju Nawaki in Danzo's laboratory, he didn't really want to tell Lady Tsunade. Because if he told her, it would likely make her heartbroken once again.
Hearing this, Tsunade's smile deepened. "Interesting. Then I'll think about it some more. If I attend the clan leader meeting, that will mean the Senju clan is officially running for the position of Fifth Hokage."
Upon hearing this, Shikaku said. "Alright, then we'll wait for Lady Tsunade's decision. I'll take my leave now."
After Shikaku left, Tsunade originally wanted to immediately send Shizune to invite Uchiha Ryosuke over. But after thinking about it, she gave up on the idea.
