Chapter 96 Settling the Whirlpool Sisters

After a brief silence, what greeted Nishikawa Tetsu was not flowers and applause, but a thick folder that rushed straight toward his face with a whooshing sound.

"Snapped!"

Nishikawa Tetsu dodged to the side, and said with a helpless smile, "Senior, is this how you greet me? This is too Uchiha-like."

Fugaku Uchiha emerged from behind his desk, pointed at the pile of documents, and said through gritted teeth, "Do you know how I've spent the past month? I'd rather be on the battlefield than look at even one more financial statement!"

Despite his complaints, the worry in Fugaku's eyes finally dissipated completely.

He walked up to Nishikawa Tetsu and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"...It's good that you're back."

Minato Namikaze, beaming, looked Nishikawa Toru up and down: "Looks like your trip to the Land of Hot Springs went smoothly? You weren't injured, were you?"

"Great, not only was I not injured, but I was also lucky to run into them."

Nishikawa Tetsu stepped aside, revealing the two red-haired girls who had been hiding behind him.

"Let me introduce you, this is a new member I picked up on the road... cough, recruited."

Fugaku and Minato's gazes fell simultaneously on Uzumaki Mizuki and Kana.

"Red-haired..." Fugaku's pupils contracted slightly. "The Uzumaki clan?"

"Kushina's clan?" Minato blinked.

"That's right, they're orphans who escaped from Kusagakure." Nishikawa Tetsu explained their background simply. "Mizuki is currently my assistant, temporarily affiliated with the police department."

Seeing the two timid girls, even the usually serious Fugaku softened his expression.

"Since you brought them back, then make arrangements. The police department can afford to have these two people."

"Thank you, senior."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and said, "However, I have already arranged their accommodations. Now I need to take them to the Senju clan's territory."

"Senju?" Minato was taken aback. "Are we going to find Lord Mito?"

Nishikawa Tetsu nodded: "I have to keep my promise and settle these two kids in."

"Kid, I'm heading back now. You guys continue chatting." Tsunade, who was waiting impatiently at the door, said.

Fugaku and Minato exchanged a glance; that voice was clearly Lady Tsunade's.

Good heavens, Che went out for a short while and actually brought Tsunade back with him.

……

The main house of the Thousand Hands Clan.

The atmosphere here is much more somber, yet also much warmer, than it was at the police station.

Mito Uzumaki sat cross-legged in her room, but today she had a rare smile on her face.

Across from her, Tsunade was sitting cross-legged without any regard for her image, taking a bite out of an apple. Although her posture was unrestrained, her eyes, which were once filled with gloom, were now clear.

"So, you're really not afraid of blood anymore?" Mito asked gently.

"Of course!"

Tsunade swallowed the apple and proudly raised her chin: "How could mere hemophobia possibly hold me back, Tsunade? That brat may have used underhanded methods... but he is indeed quite capable."

Thinking back to that "blind box" and "fake death vest," Tsunade still felt a burning hatred, but she had to admit that it was the most peaceful time she had slept in a long time.

"That's good, that's good..."

Mito nodded with relief, a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

Just then, the old servant's voice came from outside the door: "Lord Mito, Nishikawa Toru requests an audience, and he has brought... two guests with him."

"Let him in."

The door was pulled open.

Nishikawa Tetsu led Mizuki and Kana in.

As soon as they entered, the two girls' eyes were drawn to Mito, who was sitting in the main seat.

That sense of intimacy and pressure, which comes from the depths of their blood, makes them subconsciously want to get closer, yet dare not act rashly.

When Mito saw those two bright red hairs, his previously cloudy eyes instantly lit up with a sharp light.

"This is also... a child of the Uzumaki family."

Her voice trembled slightly, not with doubt, but with certainty.

Tsunade did not inform Mito Uzumaki beforehand; she simply returned from the police department with Shizune. She felt that the surprise would not have the same effect if she had told her in advance.

"Yes, Lady Mito."

Nishikawa Tetsu bowed.

"They are Mizuki and Kana Uzumaki, members of their clan who were separated from their family. I think this place might be more suitable for them than living in the police department's dormitory."

"Quick, come here and let Grandma take a look."

Mito waved.

Mitsuki pulled Kana and stepped forward cautiously.

Mito stretched out her withered hand and stroked the hair of the two children, feeling their vibrant life force, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.

After the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, she thought her clan had been wiped out, but she never expected to see new bloodlines before her death.

"Good child, you've suffered..."

Just then, a flurry of footsteps approached.

"Nishikawa Tetsu, Minato said you found two members of your clan?"

Kushina Uzumaki rushed in like the wind, clearly having received the message.

Looking at the thin Mizuki and Kana, her eyes shone like stars, and she pounced on them, exclaiming, "Great! I finally have sisters of my own kind! From now on, if anyone dares to laugh at our red hair, we'll beat them up together!"

Seeing the three red-haired girls hugging each other, the atmosphere in the room instantly became lively. Mito hadn't seen so many red-haired people in a long time.

Tsunade watched from the side, a smile spreading across her face.

Nishikawa Tetsu walked up to Mito and bowed again: "Lady Mito, I have not failed you. Lady Tsunade is well, and I have brought the two children with me."

"Yes, you did very well, even better than I expected."

Mito took out a scroll from the cabinet behind her, which she had prepared beforehand. Originally, she was only going to explain the principle of the Yin Seal once, but now that this child had brought back two members of her clan, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give her this as a reward.

"Here's what you wanted—the principles of chakra accumulation and release in the Yin Seal, and some notes on my understanding of sealing techniques."

Nishikawa Tetsu took the scroll with both hands, feeling its weight.

This might just be the core energy technology for the future of the scientific research institute!

"in addition……"

Mito glanced at the two sisters who were chatting animatedly with Kushina, then turned to Nishikawa Tetsu and said:

"These two children can stay in the Senju clan's territory. I will have Tsunade personally teach them medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques. Although it's safer for them to stay with you, your clan is full of men, which isn't suitable for girls to grow up in, and Kushina also needs friends."

That's wonderful!

Nishikawa Tetsu was more than happy to do so, as he had originally planned to do it anyway.

Firstly, the Senju clan's territory is one of the safest places in Konoha. Secondly, with Tsunade and Mito as their teachers, the sisters' future achievements are limitless. Thirdly…

By sending the person over as his "guardian," isn't he essentially placing two of his most reliable allies next to the Senju clan and the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

And it also saved me money on meals.

"I have no objection as long as they are willing," Nishikawa Tetsu said with a smile.

"I do!"

Before Nishikawa Tetsu could even ask, Kana had already raised her hand, her mouth still full of the snacks Kushina had given her. "The snacks here are delicious! And this Tsunade-neechan is so amazing! I want to learn ninjutsu from Tsunade-neechan!"

Mizuki nodded and looked gratefully at Nishikawa Tetsu: "Tetsu-kun, thank you."

Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand: "Follow Lady Tsunade and learn properly."

The matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Nishikawa Tetsu put away the scroll and prepared to take his leave.

"Oh, right."

Just before he left, Tsunade suddenly called out to him.

"Kid, although I agreed to take a temporary position at your research institute, let me make this clear beforehand."

Tsunade clenched her fist, making a crisp sound.

"If you dare to subject these two children to those messy experiments, or make them do any dangerous tests..."

"Don't worry, Lady Tsunade," Nishikawa Tetsu said with a slight smile.

"I'm someone who believes in sustainable development. They're precious... cough, I mean, they're my sisters. How could I bear to part with them?"

"Hmph, that's for the best."

Leaving the Senju clan's territory, Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the moon in the sky, feeling great.
