One of such plans was just moving along the track carefully laid out by Mito - after a quality thrashing, the shaken granddaughter deigned to look around and suddenly found that the former glory and respect had quickly disappeared, thanks to the appearance of a younger and not arrogant competitor among the new generation of iryonins, and the surrounding people simply chose to forget about her, striking a crushing blow to the girl's pride.
And Mito was frankly glad that it made Tsunade pull herself together, stop snotting and roll up her sleeves and start working hard, restoring her reputation and wanting to prove to everyone around her that she was better.
Naturally, Ryo's almost imperceptible hints and bragging about her ward and her accomplishments, sometimes inadvertently compared to her granddaughter's, did their job, and Ryo's frequent visits to the Senju quarter - both to Kushina-chan's house and to snatch a training session or two with her - only added fuel to the fire.
Toka-san approved and supported the plan for the princess's education - the senior members of the clan were properly motivated and Tsunade had no chance of avoiding stealthy manipulation, because the kunoichi herself overheard her clanmates discussing topics of interest to her, not someone trying to manipulate her.
The granddaughter had spent too much time outside the village, forgetting the lessons she had learned as a child, and now she was reaping the benefits, dancing to the tune of the experienced kunoichi and considering it entirely her own initiative.
The only problem was Tsunade's fear of blood, which was a real shame for an experienced kunoichi and an iryonin of her degree, but after consulting with Yamanaka's experts, Mito had already selected the best ways to overcome this problem and the first successes were visible.
It was hoped that in a couple of years, her granddaughter would be worthy of the title of princess of the clan and then, Mito would sit down with her and explain who, when, how and why she had been influenced. It would truly be a worthy lesson to the new head of the Senju clan.
Tsunade was still the most likely candidate to replace Toka-san, and Senju had no other S-class fighter in their ranks, and time was running out to train the new head of the clan. Mito wasn't going to take over the reins of the clan, even if it would be politically preferable for Uzushio to do so - it had been enough trouble during her marriage and Tobirama-kun's reign until Toka-san was able to take over.
The life-long kunoichi had no intention of taking on a bondage job again, preferring to give the burden of power to the younger and more foolish, leaving the right to advise. She had enough personal power to express her own opinion and know that those around her would listen and take note. Very few people could afford to ignore Mito Uzumaki's wishes.
