Volume 1 Chapter 412 Tsunade: Provoke me? Then you elders should leave
It's okay for Hatake Sakumo, but once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. His heart is broken, and it's not easy to turn it around.
If Tsunade had not personally taken action, Hatake Sakumo might not even be willing to leave the village, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
It was Nara Shikaku who made Chiyue speechless.
Why are you afraid of being implicated?
Your Nara clan is a staunch Hokage family, okay? Are you also afraid of being drawn into the whirlpool?
It's a lie.
It's clear that the family's laziness has struck.
The news that the Sand Village had suffered a defeat and heavy losses and wanted to negotiate peace was quickly sent back to Konoha.
Through the intelligence department's Ninja Hawk message, the news can be sent back to Konoha within just a few hours.
Konoha, the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, who had been away for a long time, returned to this office area where he had sat for many years.
After negotiating with the daimyo regarding various material resources and financial support, the Third Hokage could not wait to return to Konoha.
Being in Daming Prefecture, I cannot receive many messages immediately.
After being away from Konoha for so long, the Third Hokage was eager to return home. He hurried back to Konoha and sat in the Hokage's office.
After the Third Hokage returned, Tsunade immediately transferred power to him.
But before the Third Hokage could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Council of Elders came knocking on his door.
Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were very dissatisfied with Tsunade's secret decision to let Kushina leave the village and go to the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the Third Hokage was not in the village, so they had no place to file a complaint and could only keep it to themselves.
Now that the Third Hokage has returned, the two old guys seemed to have found their organization. They immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to the Hokage's office.
"What?"
The Third Hokage was stunned when he learned that Kushina was not in Konoha and had gone to the front line.
Are you guys kidding me?
"Tsunade, I need an explanation."
The Third Hokage had a gloomy expression on his face. Not letting Kushina leave the village was his bottom line.
But he didn't expect that this bottom line would be broken after he left Konoha.
"Explain? What explanation?"
Tsunade was still sorting the documents and didn't even look up when she heard this:
"The front line needs support, and Kushina is the best helper. Don't you think Kushina's strength can't guarantee her own safety?"
"Tsunade!!"
Upon hearing this, Utane Koharu became unhappy and almost jumped up, blaming Tsunade.
"The Jinchūriki is of great importance, but you always indulge her. As long as Kushina stays in the village, enemies will sneak in and make trouble. After she leaves, she will definitely be targeted. If a tailed beast goes berserk, who will be responsible?"
Damn old guy!!
Before the Third Hokage came back, they dared not say a word. Now that the Third Hokage has come back, they are shouting louder and louder than each other.
Tsunade finally raised her head, looked at the other party coldly, and said domineeringly:
"If anything happens to Kushina, I will be responsible. Are you satisfied with my answer?"
"Tsunade."
Mitomon Yan chimed in:
"No matter what, it's wrong to let Kushina go privately. It's dangerous."
"etc!"
Tsunade, who was furious inside, interrupted the two of them, pulled out a document and threw it on the table.
“I think instead of worrying about Kushina, you should worry about yourself.
Please, elders, explain to me where these funds from the Ministry of Finance went?"
The Ministry of Finance has a big problem!
Tsunade knew this a long time ago, but she didn't expect the problems in the Ministry of Finance to be so serious.
You won’t know until you check. You’ll be shocked to find that a large amount of funds are missing.
Although she promised the Third Hokage to let bygones be bygones, the prerequisite was that the Elders would not cause her any trouble.
As a result, the Third Hokage returned and the elders couldn't help it.
In that case, why should I be polite to you? Let’s settle the accounts first.
Let's put Kushina's matter aside for now. If you are worried about something happening to Kushina, then come to me after something happens to her. Now let's settle the Ministry of Finance's matter first.
"What funds?"
Utane Koharu, who was furious, was stunned for a moment, and Mito Kado En didn't expect Tsunade to suddenly mention this.
The Third Hokage opened the file, looked at it carefully, and replied:
"Tsunade, stop messing around. I personally approved these funding requests."
The Third Hokage felt that Tsunade was deliberately interfering and digging up past events to settle old scores.
He had talked to Tsunade before and agreed to let bygones be bygones, but Tsunade started to bring up old issues, which was totally disrespectful to him.
"What about the supplies?"
Unfortunately, Tsunade really doesn't intend to give face to the Third Hokage.
The premise of letting bygones be bygones is that no one provokes her, otherwise no one will have an easy time.
Slamming the table hard, Tsunade loudly questioned:
"These funds were applied for to purchase medical supplies, but I checked the logistics department's material storage registration and found no matching registration. It is impossible for the logistics department to make such a mistake. I would like to ask, where did these funds go after they were applied for?"
not good! ! !
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, who wanted to refute and explain, suddenly their faces changed because they thought of something bad.
The Third Hokage frowned, and at this time he also realized that something was wrong.
It seemed that these two old friends of mine had done some good things that I didn't know about.
The funding application was approved, but the corresponding materials were not registered and placed in the logistics department warehouse, which means that the whereabouts of the funds are unknown.
The people who were responsible for purchasing before were the elders.
Could it be that...the Third Hokage thought of someone.
Danzo!!!
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En like to stir up trouble, like power, and will also give their families some convenience.
But they will not do anything to blatantly cheat the village.
Since they can't, that means there are others.
In the entire Konoha, who else has such courage?
No need to think, it’s Guoying Danzo.
The development of the Root and various continuous research require an astronomical figure of funds, but the Third Hokage would not give Danzo so much funds to develop the Root.
So Danzo needed to get some money, and Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En provided him with convenience.
The Third Hokage now looked unhappy. Danzo, Danzo, and Danzo again. How many things has he done behind my back that harmed the interests of the village?
"bump!!!"
Before the Third Hokage could react, Tsunade slammed the table and said sternly:
"Funding is just a small issue. Who gave you the right to send people to the Anbu?"
"The Anbu is directly under the Hokage. I don't know when the old man has delegated the power of the Anbu. Or is it you, the elders, who are secretly controlling the village?"
This crime is not a small one. Once it is proven, his fate will not be better than Danzo's.
During the time when the Third Hokage was away, Tsunade did a lot of things. In addition to investigating some old accounts, she also cleaned up the Anbu.
Good job.
Not to mention those who were sent out, even those who stayed in the village caught a lot of big fish.
Danzo and the Council of Elders are trying every way to get people into the Anbu. These people appear to obey the Hokage, but secretly they are their people.
If Tsunade had not secretly sought out the chief of the Yamanaka clan and conducted a surprise interrogation, she would not have known that the ANBU had become a sieve.
The scary thing is that these people were placed in after the last Anbu screening!
The last screening caused quite a stir, but who would have thought that it would give those with ulterior motives better room to operate.
How long have I been away from Konoha?
Why does it feel like everything has changed since I came back?
"What's going on?"
