The atmosphere in the office was so awkward. A woman was drunk and in a bad mood. Shizune was also unwilling to get involved in this mess. It would be bad to become Tsunade's punching bag.
Tsunade casually threw Mizuki's report on the table, no longer wanting to read this report that was completely meaningless except that it was correct. This kind of "correct nonsense" is just a formality and makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Your mind is much smarter than your strength." Tsunade didn't seem to want to care too much, but she seemed to remember something and asked Mizuki, "Forget about these other little things. Tell me honestly, were you the one who had a conflict with Orochimaru in the Forest of Death?"
Although Tsunade did not witness the incident with her own eyes, the village recorded the terrible situation in detail. Compared with the power of various legendary ninjutsu in the future, it may not have any advantage. However, its gorgeous light and shadow effects and shocking scenes are really impressive. Moreover, the ninjutsu that can make Orochimaru suffer a little bit does not look like something that ordinary people can use. But the strange thing is that Konoha has been investigating for so long, and there is no news about this person who is against Orochimaru. It is as if this person suddenly appeared and then miraculously disappeared from the world, and there is no clue at all. But this time, Mizuki, an unexpected existence, actually appeared in the Forest of Death, and it was kept secret. Tsunade couldn't help but have some associations, so she asked this question.
Shuimu had anticipated this question, but when he was forced to answer it, he still found it difficult to answer.
After hesitating for a moment, Shuimu nodded and replied, "It's indeed me!"
"Is it really you?" Tsunade stared at Mizuki with wide eyes and asked in surprise: "I thought I was just overthinking, but I didn't expect that I was right."
"This, isn't it just that we met on a narrow road and couldn't help ourselves?" Shuimu said with a wry smile.
"It's possible that they met by chance. You couldn't help yourself? That's really hard to understand. You couldn't help yourself and injured Orochimaru. It seems that you are the sixth Hokage..." Tsunade said sarcastically while taking out the records from a few months ago from the drawer. She flipped through them and handed them to Mizuki.
"Take a look at the things above and tell me which ones match up..."
In response to Tsunade's squeeze, Mizuki just smiled awkwardly and said, "Hokage or something, you're kidding. I don't dare to think about it."
Shuimu said as he took the document and glanced through it.
"How is it? Does it look familiar?"
Shuimu shook his head, and then said: "I don't know what happened in the middle, but there are some things in it that are obviously inconsistent with the facts. Whether it is an error in the Anbu intelligence or another reason, I don't know."
"How could that be?" Tsunade was very surprised by what Mizuki said. "Is the information wrong?"
At the same time, Shizune, who had a weak presence, said in a very strange voice: "It shouldn't be wrong, did you remember it wrongly? This was originally sealed from the third generation and then transferred. There is no way anyone would tamper with it."
"No, Jingyin, there is still a chance that something unexpected could happen." She seemed to have noticed something and said, "If something goes wrong at the beginning..."
"At the beginning?" Jingyin seemed to have thought of something bad.
The scene became silent for a while, and the joking atmosphere just now was gone.
After a while, Tsunade asked in a deep voice: "Tell me specifically, what are the problems?"
"I won't go into the details. First of all, Orochimaru's purpose of coming back is definitely not to come alone. It is obvious that there is an insider in the village. Secondly, Orochimaru's return with a large army is definitely not just for Uchiha Sasuke. If he really wants to take Sasuke away, there are plenty of opportunities, and almost no one can stop him. But I saw some obviously misleading judgments and conclusions in this record. And the most important last point..."
Mizuki paused, looked at Tsunade's gloomy face, and then continued:
"Orochimaru's injuries are definitely not as serious as described here. In my opinion, he is basically unscathed. As for the claim that it will affect his combat effectiveness in the third exam in a month, that is nonsense."
What kind of injury would it take Orochimaru a month to fully recover from? With Orochimaru's substitution technique, as long as it is not too serious and consumes a lot of chakra, the injury can be transferred. Unless it is a soul or mental attack like Shiki Fuujin or Tsukuyomi, it may be difficult for Orochimaru to deal with it. As for the others, with Orochimaru's strength, he will not take it to heart at all.
As Shuimu finished speaking, the air in the office seemed to become a little colder.
"You are responsible for what you say, Mizuki." Tsunade put away her joking thoughts and looked at Mizuki seriously.
"Of course." Mizuki said calmly, "I was the one who injured Orochimaru. I know exactly what the consequences will be for Orochimaru."
If other people were hit head-on, the chances of surviving would be slim, but as for Orochimaru, forget it. This kind of purely physical attack damage can't actually do anything to him.
But it was precisely because of this that Mizuki's words made Tsunade feel so angry. The document in Mizuki's hand, to be precise, was an assessment statement, which served as an important basis for the Third Hokage to formulate countermeasures. It was not all nonsense, but the misleading in key places still made people feel a little incomprehensible.
"Logically, such an obvious mistake shouldn't happen," Shizune said, looking at Tsunade a little nervously.
"I wasn't in the village at the time, so I don't know much about it. What do you think the chance is that the Sandaime will make a wrong judgment because of this and decide to confront him head-on?"
Mizuki carefully considered his wording for this question, because every word could become the fuse that stirs up discord within Konoha.
"The possibility is small, but it cannot be said that there is no possibility." Shui Mu thought for a while and said, "The Third Generation's thoughts are actually very obvious. Even without this report, he would most likely make the same choice. However, with this, the Third Generation's confidence will be further strengthened..."
"Take advantage of the situation and go with the flow?" Tsunade said dissatisfiedly.
"Actually, this is difficult to explain, Lady Tsunade. The chances of errors in the Anbu's investigation are low, but this possibility does exist."
Mizuki's objective remarks did not dispel Tsunade's anger.
"Shizune, who is the person responsible for this report? Check it out carefully."
"Unfortunately, Lady Tsunade, this man has been killed in action."
"Killed in action? There is no evidence left..."
After understanding what happened, Mizuki couldn't help but feel afraid of Shimura Danzo's methods. The silent induction, because he knew the thoughts of the third generation, a little trick was able to make things develop in the expected direction without giving anyone a handle.
"I have been playing tricks all my life, but it turns out that my little tricks are no match for him. I have to be more careful next time..."
"Let's leave this matter here for now."
Tsunade didn't want to continue talking about these unclear suspicions.
"Tomorrow is your big day, go back early to prepare, you must be busy today too."
"Eh? Tomorrow." Shizune also agreed, "I didn't expect it to be so soon. These two days should be very busy and tiring."
"Then I'll go first." Shuimu was also ready to leave. "Why do you say that as if you have a lot of experience?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mizuki suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, and then saw Tsunade and Shizune change their expressions.
