Hokage: Immortal, I Open Unlimited Eight Gates

Chiba was a little confused at first. Who was the person in front of him? After all, he had never seen her before.

But after noticing that her appearance was somewhat similar to Tsunade's, Chiba thought back to Tsunade telling him that her parents usually stayed in the capital of the Land of Fire and rarely returned to Konoha.

Thinking this through, he guessed that the person in front of him should be Tsunade's mother, Senju Edda Snow—his future mother-in-law. This was thanks to Senju Nawaki telling him his parents' names before; otherwise, Chiba wouldn't have guessed this character, who didn't appear in the original work, so quickly.

"Hello, Sister, I'm here to see Tsunade." Chiba didn't lie. Although Tsunade's mother was already middle-aged, she looked no older than thirty. Compared to Tsunade, her mother had a more mature temperament.

Although Senju Edda Snow didn't know who the handsome young man in front of her was, she was a little confused as to why he called Tsunade "Sister." Still, his words made Senju Edda Snow happy.

"Haha, you're calling me 'Sister'? I'm already over forty years old. Shouldn't you call me Aunt?" Senju Edda Snow covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Ah? But you still look very young! You seem to be in your twenties!" Uchiha Chiba said, giving a surprised expression.

Senju Edda Snow laughed when she heard this. "Auntie just look younger. By the way, what's your name, young man? Do you have something to do with Tsunade?"

"My name is Uchiha Chiba. I'm here to ask Tsunade a few questions."

Uchiha Chiba? Senju Edda Snow didn't react right away. What happened at home while she and her husband were in the capital?

"Hey, Chiba, why are you here? Mom, why are you stopping Chiba at the door? Let him in!"

Tsunade had just passed by and overheard her mother and Chiba talking.

"Oh, yes, Uchiha Chiba, right? Come in, kid." Senju Edda Snow was reminded by Tsunade. She realized it was impolite to keep him at the door.

Then, Senju Edda Snow turned to Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, this child is here to see you. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Oh, you're looking for me? Then, Chiba, come with me."

Although Tsunade didn't know why Chiba wanted to see her, she led him to her room.

As Tsunade and a man of the opposite sex walked into her room, Senju Edda Snow's eyes flashed with surprise. She seemed to think of something and hurried off to the study.

Tsunade's Bedroom

"Sit down, Chiba. By the way, why did you come to see me?"

As soon as they entered the room, Tsunade flopped down onto the bed.

"Sister Tsunade, do you know who Danzo is?" Uchiha Chiba paused for a moment before speaking, his eyes fixed on Tsunade, who lay on the bed.

"Danzo? I remember that he and the old man were both members of my second grandfather's personal guard. Why are you asking about him now?"

"Well, after I separated from you yesterday, on my way back..."

Uchiha Chiba spent a few minutes recounting the events of yesterday before continuing, "That's why I want to ask you, Tsunade, what's going on with Danzo?"

Originally, Tsunade had planned to just lie there and listen, but after hearing Uchiha Chiba's story about meeting Danzo and why he was looking for him, she sat up straight.

"What did you say? Danzo wants you to be his subordinate and infiltrate the Root?" Tsunade was furious.

She didn't know much about Root, but its establishment had tacit approval from Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although she was dissatisfied with it, there was nothing she could do. But now, Danzo, that old man, had set his sights on people close to her.

"Chiba, come with me. Let's go find Grandma."

"Ah? You mean Mito-sama? No need, Tsunade-sama. I'm just here to learn about Danzo. There's no need to disturb Mito-sama, right?"

Uchiha Chiba really didn't want to disturb Uzumaki Mito. Although he didn't know how long Mito could live, he guessed it wouldn't be much longer. He didn't want to trouble someone in their last years.

His original intention was just for Tsunade to apply some pressure on Sarutobi Hiruzen, with the Uchiha clan's help. Then, Shimura Danzo would have a hard time for a while.

"Don't be so stubborn. Come with me," Tsunade said without thinking too much. She felt that if she didn't seek justice for Uchiha Chiba, she couldn't face him again as his 'sister.'

Chiba wanted to persuade Tsunade, but before he could say anything, she grabbed his hand and walked him out of the room.

At the Door

However, as soon as the door opened, Tsunade found two 'sneaky' figures standing outside.

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" Tsunade looked suspiciously at them. Her parents were eavesdropping on her?

Hearing Tsunade's voice, Chiba looked at the two people. Apart from Senju Edda Snow, who he had just seen, there was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Senju Naoki. This person must be Tsunade's father, Senju Sosuke.

"Ahem. Your mother and I were just taking a walk. By the way, we overheard you were going to find your mother. Is something wrong?" Senju Sosuke looked embarrassed and tried to change the subject.

"That's right. We were just taking a walk," Senju Edda Snow added.

"Really?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you, Tsuna!" Senju Sosuke tried to calm himself down.

While Senju Sosuke was speaking to Tsunade, his eyes kept glancing at the hands that Tsunade and Uchiha Chiba were holding.

What was going on? Was it really like Edda Snow said—that Tsunade's little cabbage was about to be stolen?

He had been drinking tea and reading in the study when his wife came running to him. He learned from Senju Edda Snow that Tsunade had brought a man of the opposite sex into her room.

Immediately, he couldn't sit still and rushed outside to eavesdrop. He arrived too late, though, and had only heard that Tsunade wanted to find Uzumaki Mito.

Then, Senju Sosuke looked at Uchiha Chiba, standing next to Tsunade.

Well, the boy looked good, and he reminded him a bit of his younger self. But he wasn't much taller than Tsunade, and he didn't seem very old. Could it be that Tsunade liked younger men?

He then turned to Tsunade, "Tsuna, who is this?"

Hearing this, Tsunade realized she hadn't introduced anyone yet.

"Oh, this is Chiba, Nawaki's classmate, and my younger brother. Chiba, these are my parents."

"Hello, Uncle, Aunt. My name is Uchiha Chiba. Please take care of me," Uchiha Chiba greeted with a smile.

"Oh, you're such a serious kid. You already called me 'Aunt,'" Senju Edda Snow said, trying to hide her inner joy.
