If she wants to revive the clan, then she can only let this child take the Senju surname.
Also, Ryosuke already has so many children, so even if one child takes the Senju surname, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Having made up her mind, holding the child, she walked to Ryosuke's side.
"Ryosuke, I have something important to tell you."
Ryosuke saw that Tsunade had come over, and said the same.
"Just right, I also have something important to tell you. Our child has already been born, so we should give them a name."
"Tsunade, your child's name will be Uchiha Nanaki. And Shizune's will be Uchiha Yaki."
Shizune, who was holding the child beside them, muttered softly after hearing the name, "Uchiha Yaki."
She said, a little speechless, "Ryosuke, isn't this name a bit unsuitable for a girl?"
The name "Yaki" doesn't sound very good either, kind of plain.
Ryosuke said, "It's fine, let's just go with it. Tsunade's is Nanaki, so naturally yours is Yaki."
Shizune looked at the baby girl in her arms, still very unwilling. If it were a boy named Yaki, it would be fine. But this is a girl. She knew Ryosuke was very assertive.
Still, she tried hard to say, "Ryosuke, how about reconsidering it? If she's called Yaki, what will her friends think of her in the future?"
In her heart, she also wanted her daughter to have a nicer name. After hearing this, Ryosuke changed his mind and said, "Then how about Yaka?"
Shizune was utterly speechless."That's even worse than Yaki."
Ryosuke also felt that the name Yaka was a bit strange. He wasn't very interested in naming in the first place.
"Then how about this, keep the character 'Ya' (Eight), and you come up with the rest."
Shizune had no choice. She could only think of it herself. So what should she name her?
Suddenly, she thought of a pleasant name.
"How about Uchiha Yuki?"
At least it sounds like a girl's name. And the baby's skin was snow white.
Ryosuke naturally agreed.
As for Tsunade, she had no objections to naming her own child Nanaki.
Whether it's Uchiha Nanaki or Senju Nanaki, both sound pretty good.
"Ryosuke, then my child will be called Nanaki."
"There's something important I want to talk to you about. You also know the situation of the Senju clan, there are no direct male descendants left. Can my child inherit the Senju name, to revive the Senju clan?"
After speaking, she carefully observed Ryosuke's expression, unsure whether he would agree.
Letting a child take the mother's surname, to a man, this might be something shameful.
But Ryosuke, after hearing Tsunade's words, furrowed his brows.
Letting his child take the Senju surname, to revive the Senju clan's prestige, this was definitely not acceptable.
This would cause future generations to grow distant, and might even start to fight among themselves. It would cause the Senju and Uchiha clans to reignite their conflict, leaving endless troubles behind.
He said with a serious expression, "Tsunade, this is impossible."
Tsunade instantly became displeased. "Why not? You already have so many kids, what's wrong with letting one take my surname?"
"Besides, I'll also have more kids with you in the future, to satisfy all your desires."
Her child was named Nanaki, Shizune's child was named Yuki, which meant Ryosuke had at least 6 other children, at least 8 children total.
And she was still willing to have more children with Ryosuke, so what's wrong with letting one take her surname? Is that too much?
Ryosuke heard Tsunade's words and patiently explained, "Although your conditions make me a little tempted, no means no."
"I know you want to restore the Senju clan's prestige, but this will cause disputes among future generations. Maybe the next generation won't have issues."
"But what about the generation after that? By then, relationships will have faded. The Senju and Uchiha clans will see each other as rivals."
"There might be another conflict between the Senju and Uchiha clans. This is something I cannot allow. I believe you also don't want to see such a situation."
Tsunade felt disheartened hearing Ryosuke's words. She knew this was very likely to happen.
A few generations down the line, things might really turn out the way Ryosuke said, when bonds weaken, fighting would start again.
But if that's the case, then wouldn't the name of the Senju clan completely disappear in the river of history?
Seeing Tsunade like this, Ryosuke felt that she had thought it through. She wasn't someone who would be unreasonable.
He comforted her and said, "Actually, our bloodline can also be considered part of the Senju clan. If he inherits it, that's fine too."
Tsunade, hearing his words, was a bit speechless. The name of the Senju clan being inherited by someone with the Uchiha name?
Even though he carries her bloodline, if her great-uncle knew that the Uchiha name had inherited the Senju name, wouldn't he be furious? Thankfully, he didn't know.
Given the situation now, this was the only way. Even though the surname is Uchiha, he carries her bloodline, he is the true heir of the Senju clan.
"Ryosuke, alright then, let's do as you said."
She couldn't leave a disaster behind for future generations. And Ryosuke was also happy that Tsunade could understand.
"Then once you've both recovered, do you want to go visit my grandfather? He's my only family left in the clan. Now you are my family too."
"Family members should naturally get to know each other."
Tsunade hesitated instantly. "That might not be a good idea."
"If Shizune and I bring a child over with us, then wouldn't the whole Uchiha clan see it?"
"Wouldn't everyone immediately understand the relationship between the three of us?"
She still felt that she couldn't accept that. But Shizune could accept it. She wasn't part of the Senju clan, and she was still young, without as many concerns as Tsunade. Now that she had Uchiha Ryosuke's child, she should also be considered part of the Uchiha clan, right?
And Ryosuke, hearing Tsunade's words, realized he hadn't considered it well enough.
He also didn't want his personal affairs to become gossip among the villagers.
"Then let my grandfather come over instead."
