"Sasuke Uchiha's defection is now a certainty, and this is your dereliction of duty as Hokage!"
I hope you can quickly capture the rogue ninja and make amends for your mistakes. As the Hokage's advisor, I will be keeping a close eye on you.
Bang!
Danzo Shimura tossed out a barrage of accusations, watching Tsunade's face turn red as she was unable to refute them, and then slammed the door shut and left the Hokage's office, completely satisfied.
"Ugh, I'm so angry!"
As the office door shook violently from the impact, Tsunade's chest heaved, her oversized top barely holding up. She clenched her fists, stood up abruptly, and stared intently at the table, ready to make her move.
Shizune was already familiar with what was about to happen. She gave a wink, and two ANBU members familiarly brought out a new desk and placed it not far from Tsunade.
"you!"
Tsunade's angry gaze darted back and forth between the Anbu and Shizune, her fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly, only to be met with knowing smiles. In the end, she helplessly sat back down.
"Tsunade, now is not the time to throw a tantrum!"
Seeing Tsunade's actions, Koharu, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but advise, "Sasuke Uchiha must be captured. This clan is too much of a threat."
"Indeed, Konoha cannot afford to produce another Uchiha Itachi. The entire ninja world is paying close attention to the Uchiha clan's surviving members, and his defection will affect the confidence of those who commission missions in Konoha."
Moreover, there's the most troublesome scenario: if he were to go to another ninja village, marry, have children, and propagate the Uchiha clan, that would be truly disastrous.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu worked together to urge Tsunade to issue a warrant for the arrest of the rogue ninja and send troops to hunt them down.
However, when Tsunade asked about the pursuers, they claimed it was the Hokage's duty and refused to send anyone. In the end, they even left Tsunade with some earnest advice, just like Danzo had done.
Just kidding. Tsunade doesn't know. Do you think they don't know how powerful the remnants of the Uchiha clan are? How many people from the Sarutobi clan have died? The Mito and Utatane clans aren't going to get involved in this mess.
The three old pumpkins could leave, but Tsunade, as the Hokage, couldn't. She could only smash the desk in front of her and then frown and ponder deeply.
Is Orochimaru stirring up trouble? When we met in Tanabata before, he mentioned wanting the Uchiha clan's bodies. Whether it's to protect the village's bloodline from leaking out or to stop Orochimaru from increasing his power, bringing Sasuke back is essential.
But who should be sent to pursue them, and to what extent?
In order to maintain the outward appearance of Konoha, most of the Jonin available in the village have been sent out on missions. Apart from the necessary guard forces, the only personnel that can be mobilized are the Anbu, Root, and the Chunin and Genin.
Tsunade had previously suggested that Root search for Sasuke, but Danzo refused, citing the significant reduction in Root's personnel and the fact that the remaining members had been dispatched on missions. As for the Anbu, most of their forces are still under Sarutobi's control, and it seems they disappeared last night; there appears to be something fishy going on here.
"Shizune, are there any suitable ninjas in the village? Their strength must be at the Jonin level, and we also need to equip them with a few ninjas who are good at tracking."
After much deliberation, Tsunade finally decided to arrange for someone to track him down first. No matter what, she should bring him back first.
“Well,” Shizune hesitated, facing Tsunade’s intense gaze, “most of the village’s suitable tracking and reconnaissance ninjas have been sent out on missions. The main reason is that the Hyuga clan all disappeared recently, leaving a huge shortage of reconnaissance personnel. I heard that although they didn’t send out many people in the past few years, they would still occasionally send some out to take on reconnaissance missions.”
"The Hyuga clan!"
Tsunade felt a sharp pain in her teeth and a headache upon hearing this word. One of Konoha's two largest clans was almost wiped out, and the other had its entire members missing. What were Sarutobi and the others doing all those years ago?!
Thinking of all the trouble she had been dealing with during the reconnaissance mission, Tsunade could no longer contain her anger. She smashed the table that had just been moved there into powder with one punch, cursing, "Damn Hyuga Kaze, you took the Hyuga clan away and caused me so much trouble!"
After becoming Hokage, Tsunade learned about the Hyuga clan's affairs. Although she knew that Hyuga Kaze couldn't be entirely blamed, she still felt very angry.
In the Hidden Snow Village, Hyuga Kaze lay on the sofa, flanked by Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitsuhisa, while behind him, Mikoto Uchiha gently massaged Hyuga Kaze's head with her broad chest.
Hinata and Hanabi were tending to Hinata's increasingly mature feet, giving them a foot massage. While massaging, the two girls used their Byakugan to carefully locate pressure points, their faces filled with reverence, as if they were holding some kind of sacred object rather than feet.
On the sofa, Hinata Kaze closed his eyes and enjoyed himself, his hands exploring the mountains and valleys, feeling grateful that he could finally relax and enjoy himself.
During this period, Kurenai and her friends appeared to be harmonious sisters, but secretly they were locked in a fierce battle, with their verbal sparring and sharp exchanges leaving even Hinata Kaze somewhat overwhelmed. Most importantly, they were all busy arguing about how he would get the meat. Fortunately, the hierarchy has finally been established, and the different positions the girls occupy now, to some extent, represent the outcome of their recent struggles.
Achoo!
Just as he was enjoying himself, Hinata Kaze suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.
Hongdou immediately retorted sarcastically, "Tsk tsk tsk, didn't you boast about your excellent health? Why are you sneezing? Are you feeling weak?"
"Nonsense! Don't you know whether I need it or not? Just don't beg for mercy tonight!"
Hinata Kaze wouldn't tolerate being slandered, so he grabbed Azuki and the others and headed into the room.
"Grandma Tsunade, I heard Sasuke is missing! I'm going to find him!"
Tsunade was still deep in thought in the Hokage's office when the door was suddenly flung open, and Naruto Uzumaki rushed in.
The gate behind him, after enduring countless hardships, finally gave way and collapsed with a piercing sound.
"What are you yelling about!"
Tsunade's forehead veins bulged, and she clenched her fists, only to find that there was nothing left to smash in front of her. She could only stare at Naruto with wide eyes and get up to press him down step by step.
"I... I was talking about Lady Tsunade."
Naruto retreated step by step, his eyes darting around, pleading for help, but everyone who met his gaze quickly turned away.
Thump!
Tsunade cornered Naruto against the wall and punched him past his ear, creating a spiderweb-like hole in the wall.
Think carefully about what you're going to say before you speak!
After throwing a punch, Tsunade's anger subsided slightly, but her eyes were still full of warning as she stared at Naruto.
This time, Naruto refused to back down, his voice filled with determination, "I'm going to bring Sasuke back!"
