Today, this difficult matter should be resolved. If the daimyo still insists on going his own way, then perhaps she will also choose to be a bit tougher.
Fortunately, the village is united now. It can exert significant pressure on the daimyo, so he should know what to do.
Of course, there's also Uchiha Ryosuke—he must be properly disciplined. Being strong is fine, but he shouldn't be too rough.
Ryosuke seems very prone to flipping the table, and such behavior is extremely dangerous.

[The next day.]
After finishing a full day of work, Tsunade returned to the Senju clan grounds. She had also invited Ryosuke to have dinner at home.
She let Shizune leave work early to prepare a lavish dinner. There was chicken, duck, and beef soup.
Both she and Shizune had pretty good appetites, but not to this extent.
These were all prepared for Ryosuke. That guy's appetite was enormous—otherwise, he wouldn't be so strong.
She had already witnessed his monstrous eating capacity before.
When the food was served, Shizune prepared three bowls of rice for them.
Ryosuke looked at the delicious food on the table. He immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating the dishes with the rice.
It was incredibly delicious.
He praised, "Shizune, your cooking is really amazing!"
Shizune smiled, "Ryosuke, as long as you like it."
Cooking for her man was quite nice. Tsunade also started eating. While eating, she sternly said, "Ryosuke, you were way too rude when dealing with the daimyo's envoy yesterday."
"Being assertive is fine, but don't be too rough."
Ryosuke responded while eating, "You're right, Tsunade-wife."
Tsunade's face immediately turned red with embarrassment. How dare this guy call her that! She retorted, "Who's your wife?"
Ryosuke paused his actions, looking at Tsunade in disbelief.
"No way, Lady Tsunade. After everything that happened between us, are you just going to pretend it never happened?"
Shizune had a faint smile on her face. If something like that meant being someone's wife, then wouldn't she also be his wife?
She felt a little happy. But things seemed to be progressing too fast—she was already Ryosuke's wife now.
Tsunade was a little angry. 'What nonsense is this bastard saying?'
He was the one who acted aggressively in the first place, yet he was making it seem like she was the irresponsible one.
'Damn guy.'
She couldn't get dragged into his nonsense. She knew she wasn't as good at arguing as he was.
"The daimyo's government and Konoha Village have always maintained a cooperative relationship. This is meaningful for both the daimyo and Konoha. Do you understand?"
Honestly, Ryosuke didn't really get it. If they just got rid of the daimyo and let Konoha take control of the entire Land of Fire, the benefits would be much greater, right?
Such a big country—just the collected taxes would be massive. They wouldn't have to sit around waiting for handouts anymore.
Besides, if they controlled the Land of Fire, protecting it would mean protecting their own territory.
Unlike now, where it felt like they were guarding someone else's kingdom.
But he figured Tsunade wouldn't want to hear any of this right now.
In the Naruto world, ninjas always operate in the shadows—otherwise, the village leader wouldn't be called a "shadow" (Hokage).
But Ryosuke believed that people with power should stand openly in the light. Why should they be led by someone with no combat ability at all?
The daimyo was an extremely weak individual. However, there was no rush to deal with this matter now.
He looked at Tsunade and said, "I understand, Tsunade-wife."
Tsunade was speechless—he called her "wife" again. And he agreed way too easily. How could that possibly mean he really understood?
But she couldn't use force to make Ryosuke obey her. If it were anyone else, she'd have just swung her fist and beaten the lesson into them. If Ryosuke still didn't understand, that would be dangerous.
The Uchiha clan was a bit too radical. It seemed like she had no choice but to use another method.
"Ryosuke, tonight you should stay at the Senju clan grounds and rest."
After saying this, her face turned a little red, and she glanced at him sideways. If she couldn't overpower him physically, she could only make him submit in bed.
If she whispered in his ear at night, maybe she could change his mind.
He needed to learn the real reasoning—violence alone couldn't solve everything.
Hearing this, Ryosuke instantly perked up, smiling widely. "Alright, Tsunade-wife."
Shizune, sitting beside them, felt a bit envious. It looked like tonight was Tsunade's turn. She would have to wait for another time.
———
After nightfall, Ryosuke and Tsunade finished washing up.
Ryosuke naturally strode right into Tsunade's room.
Tsunade looked at the strong man before her and took the initiative to step forward, grabbing his weakness.
Her face turned a little red. She couldn't believe she was being this bold. But since she was already doing it, she might as well go all the way. Her grip tightened.
"Ryosuke, from now on, you'll listen to me, right?"
Ryosuke hadn't expected Tsunade to be this wild. She actually dared to take such bold action. This only ignited his desire even more. He hugged her and said, "Of course, whatever Tsunade-wife likes."
Tsunade's face flushed again—this guy was taking advantage of her again. If he kept calling her that, it might actually become real one day, and she'd never escape.
But as she breathed in his intoxicating scent, she thought, 'Maybe… this wasn't so bad after all.'
That night was one of passion.
