Tenten's eyes shone. She stared at Tsunade intently, her eyes full of admiration. 'One punch, and the huge training ground was smashed... This is the Tsunade Hime in her heart, this is the Sannin, this is the granddaughter of the First Hokage-sama whom Konoha is proud of, this is the princess of the Senju clan! The most important thing... this person is my teacher every day!'
"Forget it, today's trial ends here."
"Tenten, let's go back!" Standing in the center of the cracked spiderweb, Tsunade "tsk-ed" a roar, called Tenten with a hint of disapproval, and walked towards Ren's house without looking back.
"Yes! Teacher Tsunade!!" Tenten replied excitedly, little stars in her eyes! After that, Tenten was like a little follower, walking behind Tsunade.

Training Ground One, in the cracked earth,
"Save... save me, save me!" The arrogant and domineering young master of the Shimura clan had fallen into a narrow pit.
After waiting for a while, the guardian sent by the Shimura clan, who had lagged behind, slowly arrived.
"Master, Master, are you alright?"
"Master, I'll save you now!!"

Ren's house, Tsunade sat on the tatami in the living room. She frowned slightly; it seemed that she was in a bad mood.
"Humph!"
"The people of the Shimura family are really proud, occupying the public training ground!"
"It has been developed for so many years... Konoha isn't even what it was before!"
In the living room, Tsunade was in a bad mood. Although she had left Konoha for more than ten years, the Konoha created by her own grandfather, Senju Hashirama, was her root! Seeing that there was such a situation in Konoha... Tsunade was truly saddened.
'Why worry? Only good Sake will do!'
Tsunade, who was in the living room of Ren's house, picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it. "Gulp, gulp, gulp~"
As soon as Tsunade put down the glass, she heard the gurgling sound of ginseng wine — Tenten was squatting aside to add wine to Tsunade.
"Why are you staying here with me? Why don't you go practice!"
Tenten smiled: "I am your disciple, and taking care of the teacher is what a disciple should do."
Seeing Tsunade, who looked like a gambler in the casino, Tenten's image of Tsunade... had collapsed. But seeing Tsunade smashing the huge training ground with one punch... Tsunade Hime, who looked like a great Sannin in her heart every day, was back!
'Teacher Tsunade said before that he wanted to teach me that trick... Until I learn... Heh-heh!'
'Happy every day! My brother asked Teacher Tsunade to accept me as a disciple, which is great!'
"Where do I need you, this half-pint little devil, to take care of me?" Tsunade shook her head: "I have something to do in a while, you can cultivate yourself!"
Tenten paused, then confirmed, "Teacher, after you... won't you be going to the casino?!"
"What are you thinking!" Tsunade gently tapped Tenten's little head. "It's business!"
"Someone will take me to see old Sarutobi in a while."
Not long after her voice fell, an Anbu appeared in front of Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade, the Hokage-sama requests your presence!"
Tenten was confused. 'Teacher Tsunade... so divine? As expected... is this the legendary Sannin?'
Tsunade nodded at the Anbu: "I'll go right away, you go back first!"
"This..." The Anbu was a little undecided.
Tsunade said solemnly: "What? Could it be that you are still forcibly tying me over there?" After saying that, Tsunade stirred up some chakra.
"I dare not, of course my subordinates dare not!"
"Then go away quickly!"
"Yes!" The masked Anbu ninja turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of Tsunade and Tenten.
And Tsunade... Then she picked up the glass in front of her and drank it.
She... smashed the huge training ground with one punch, which would make Konoha one less public place to use. With such a big incident, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, would naturally find Tsunade. Tsunade knew this. At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had sent someone to summon Tsunade... Tsunade did not act with the Anbu ninja, but also scolded the Anbu ninja... It was not Tsunade's willfulness.
This was Tsunade deliberately putting on a show!
A mere family disciple, without any serious matter and no compensation, had to requisition the training ground that had been open to the Konoha masses since the beginning of Konoha... This incident illustrated a problem! That is, the current Konoha is far from being the Konoha it was before! After so many years of development, had Konoha developed worse and worse? More and more problems?!
Tsunade must ask Hiruzen Sarutobi for an explanation!
As a disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade naturally couldn't completely blame her teacher. But... Tsunade's identity wasn't simple! From her title as one of the Three Legendary Sannin, she was qualified to question Hiruzen Sarutobi when she saw such a thing. Not to mention that she was still the princess of the Senju family who founded Konoha, not to mention that she was the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama! With every identity Tsunade possessed, he couldn't just watch Konoha rot!
Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned her... Tsunade had to go! Tsunade wasn't going to apologize to Hiruzen Sarutobi; rather, she wanted him to apologize to her!
"Tenten, add wine!"
"Yes, Teacher!" After drinking three glasses in a row, Tsunade signaled Tenten to stop adding wine. Standing up, Tsunade was ready to head towards the Hokage Building.
Taking a deep breath, Tsunade was ready to question her teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Phew..." With a long sigh, before leaving, Tsunade turned to Tenten and said something very serious.
"If you want to follow in the footsteps of Ren, you have to work very hard. Otherwise... Forget it, let's not talk about this."
"I'm leaving, Tenten!"
"Cultivate yourself well, your age is not the time to be wasted."
Behind her, Tenten nodded vigorously: "I see, Teacher!"
Tsunade went to the Hokage's office and didn't return to Ren's house until midnight. As for what happened in the Hokage's office, no one knows except Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade. Tenten... It's rare that she didn't ask Tsunade about this topic. She had been working hard all day today.
And Ren... was still soaking in the forging room.

The next day, discussions about "the legendary Sannin, Tsunade, smashed Training Ground No. 1 with one punch" were all over Konoha.
Tenten wasn't at home today. She had assembled with her ninja team early this morning. They had an E-rank mission to help farmers fertilize their fields.
"Tenten, I heard that you are now Lady Tsunade's disciple?" In the fields, a Hyūga ninja with long black hair wearing a Konoha forehead protector suddenly asked.
"What?"
"How did you know? I was accepted as a disciple by Teacher Tsunade yesterday..."
Hyūga Neji pouted. "You made such a fuss at Training Ground No. 1 yesterday, and Konoha has already spread the word."
"Teacher Tsunade... really smashed the training ground with one punch?" Hyūga Neji asked.
