Chapter 39: Revelations II... Senju Extinct?

Tsunade suddenly ended the kiss and pushed her body away from me.

"Sorry." She apologized.

"What for?"

"I... I am old." Her lips thinned. "Because of my Creation Rebirth Technique..." She released the Transformation while closing her eyes, biting her lower lip as she held back tears.

Her heart wanted this so much but her mind was telling her she is already spoiled.

Shizune felt sad for her Mistress. She could see that Tsunade accepted becoming Rei's concubine was spontaneous. But now that Lady Tsunade started to use her mind gain... she could see Lady Tsunade regretted it. She most likely didn't feel she would be wanted after Rei saw her real form.

With sorrow in her eyes, Shizune watched Lady Tsunade release her Transformation. The Jutsu dissolved and Shizune gasped as her hands covered her mouth in astonishment!

Tsunade... became even younger!

The only difference was her obviously younger appearance and her loss of the diamond-shaped seal on her forehead. Instead, she had a seal resembling Black Rose with a purple diamond in the middle in the middle of her breasts, right above her heart.

I flicked the fearful woman who looked like she was in her early twenties instead of her thirties after the Transformation was released.

I saw Tsunade look at me, about to open her mouth when I handed her a mirror. She, not understanding why, took it and looked at herself. Her hand shot to her cheek.

"How!?"

Tsunade was the best medic-nin in the world. She knew the cost of Creation Rebirth and what she just saw in the mirror was just not possible!

"The seal draws natural energy and reconstructs your body. You are physically around twenty again. At your prime. And your body will stay that way." I told her. Now, I expected as a respected med-nin, she would shoot a flurry of question my way.

I was not prepared for a crushing bear-hug, nor my head being buried in Tsunade's chest. I nevertheless enjoyed every second of it.

It took a few minutes until Tsunade finally released me with her face lit in happiness.

"On a happier note, I forbid you from using Creation Rebirth." I cheerfully told her. "You are my concubine and you WILL obey." My face turned serious. "Like seriously? You are fifty-something but you appear eighty? Girl, you are Senju! The clan who boasted of their life-force. Senju look eighty when they are hundred-twenty! Twice your life!"

Tsunade meekly nodded. It was weird. She somewhat felt the same when she was being admonished for doing something wrong by her father. But deep down, she loved it. Rei forbid that technique because he cared about her!

"But that is the strongest technique of Lady Tsunade." Shizune tried to interject but I glared at her.

"Let look at the facts straight Shizune... She invented it sometime around her twenties. Used it mostly during the second shinobi war. That's a few years. But she lost an immense amount of her life-span. Now, her lifespan lengthened but I am not about to let her use that suicide-trap. If she wants me to acknowledge her being the top medic," My eyes never left Tsunade's brown ones. "then she will create a technique that uses natural energy to heal herself. Just like her grandfather did."

Tsunade smiled slightly and nodded.

Good girl... I instantly patted her head.

"Now. Dress up, Tsuna-chan."

Only then Tsunade remembered she is topless. She gave me an amusing glare and with a huff put her shirt back on.

I introduced Konan as Tsunade's partner. Tsunade was at first bewildered but when Konan surprised her by instantly kissing her which later developed to a full-blown make out between the girls... even I was baffled. I didn't... mean it that way.

Alas, the girls parted, saliva bridging their mouths as their eyes stared at each other in astonishment but contentment.

"I finally know how Shizuka and Mei feel like." Konan blushed. "I love you." She whispered to Tsunade who looked at Konan with wide-eyes and touched her lips.

"What was that..."

Tsunade barely restrained herself from kissing the bluenette again. Granted, her lust towards the girl, Konan was more subdued than what she felt towards Rei after the seal was activated but still! She was drawn to her.

"I think it is a side-effect. You will in time find affection for everyone who received that seal from me. But... Looks like you and Konan are really very compatible." I shrugged, not really expecting them to form a bond like Mei and Shizuka.

...

The day was spent talking and getting to know each other. It was evening and we ate at a local pub.

"Stop brooding!" Happy Tsunade nudged me. Contrary to all common sense of Narutoverse, she was not drunk. She still liked sake but didn't drink herself under the table. I really appreciated that.

"Tsunade..." I looked at her, contemplating if I should tell her but then I just sighed.

I sat on the bed and patted the spot near me.

Before I even managed to blink, Tsunade was next to me, leaning closer, waiting, and looking at me expectantly. She was so cute. Especially as she was licking her lips.

"Not yet." I put my hand on her head, making her pout. I was glad her temper evened out... Or at least, she won't aim it at me...

"I need your attention. It's... it's about your clan." I told her with a conflicted expression. "I think you should know and the sooner the better."

Tsunade's lust quickly vanished. Her... clan. Her family. What could be so important about dead people that he would interrupt their wedding day! And yes! It was exactly that! He bound her to himself until they died! It counted!

But Rei clearly wanted to tell her something and from his expression it was important. She schooled her expression.

"Go on."

She knew this won't be pleasant but... really. How bad could it be? Her clan died protecting their legacy. Something to be proud of.

I saw the confusion and slight irritation on Tsunade's face and with yet another heavy sigh I took a stack of papers from a scroll.

"These are reports of Kumo and Kaminari spies." I saw her eyes harden at the notion they managed to get information about the Senju clan. "It is roundabout and very indirect proof but it basically screams to your face the reason for the extinction of your clan." I slowly reached my hand toward her. "You deserve to know."

Tsunade got a bad feeling. She may deserve to know but she was not sure she actually wanted to know. The worst part? She knew her master... shit, that seal really made her like calling Rei that! It's all seal! She swears!... Anyway, she knew her ma-, Rei didn't lie to her and the documents were not forged. She could feel it through the seal.

She took the document and started reading.

I saw as Tsunade's expression turned sadder and angrier the more she read. Her cheeks were filled with tears and I came closer, hugging her from behind. It at least gave her the strength to finish the documents.

We sat there in silence as Tsunade sobbed into my shoulder.

"They... killed them... all." Tsunade brokenly whispers through the sobs.

"Yes. Yes, they did." I am patting her head soothingly while embracing her.

This must be quite hard on her.

The documents basically said... she was the last Senju. But it also said that every other man, woman, or child with Senju blood is dead. Logical, right?

Except... even those who intermarried into other clans died off. With them, somehow, mysteriously, even their descendants died.

Accidents. Murders. Health Problems. Choking on tofu. You pick it, people with Senju blood died of it.

The problem was, these deaths all happened in the span of ten years. You do not need to be Sherlock Holmes to come to a conclusion. One of the largest, and most interwoven clan of Konoha. A clan whose members married to all other clans... Over five hundred people died in the span of ten years all 'coincidentally' having Senju blood.

Someone thoroughly culled out the Senju clan to the last man. In the secret records of Konoha, Tsunade was the last person with Senju blood alive. She was not hounded into CRA only because she was too old and Sarutobi knew the effect of her Creation Rebirth.

"I always thought the offsprings of people who intermarried would somehow, someway inherit Mokuton. I wasn't prone to restore the clan because I believed there are many people who sh-share Senju blood in Konoha." Tsunade hollowly told me. "I would never dare to think Konoha would..." Her breath hitched.

Yes, the second problem. Such a precise killing of Senju clan members needed access to the most secret records of clans and marriages of Konoha. That basically means, responsible was either person with incredible influence in Konoha but it can't be a clan leader because they would never get access to the documents of other clans or civilians as there was no civilian council at that time. It could not even be Uchiha Madara. He would not know who is and who is not of Senju Descent in other clans. Even he did not have passwords, and clearance or seal.keys to access these documents. If he tried, he might be able to access some of it, but all?

That brought us to the elders, Hokage, or... Danzo.

Or better yet, that begets the argument that the higher-ups of Konoha, therefore Konoha itself, got rid of Senju.

Now, considering Tsunade had that Loyalty Seal on her neck and Sarutobi is known for being soft towards his students... She is the last Senju alive.

Hokage means the entirety of Konoha...

"It was not Sarutobi." I sighed and even if the words pained me, it was the truth.

"Thank you." Tsunade wiped her tears. "But you don't have to-"

"It was not Sarutobi." I repeated, making her nod. "It was most likely Danzo but that doesn't matter. Your clan won't return no matter what you do, Tsuna." I softly told her.

Tsunade tersely nodded as she fought more tears spilling from her eyes as her eyes showed fiery determination.

"I won't live for revenge. Instead, I will live for you." She leaned towards me and kissed me.

"Are you sure you want this?" I tried to ask.

"I want, no. I need you to fuck me." She said distractedly. "I need to get my thoughts away from... that."

Her lips again connected with mine.
