From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 53 Great Harvest

The confrontation between nearly a hundred Konoha ninjas did not last long.

After the 'misunderstanding' between Lady Tsunade and the Sandaime Hokage was resolved, everyone dispersed.

The seriously injured at the scene were sent to Konoha Hospital one by one, and some of the lightly injured were taken away by the interrogation department and questioned about what happened tonight. Others also began to track and investigate based on the traces of Kakuzu's escape.

Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the master and disciple, went to the side to talk.

Sawara Kiri looked at the two of them from afar.

Although in the original book, we have already witnessed the so-called indecisiveness of this third-generation master.

However, only when it happened to him did he truly realize how unbearable the bias brought about by this so-called bond was.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

When Sawara Kiri thought about how he would be violently bullied and targeted by Shimura Danzo, he felt as if beautiful girls were crawling all over his body.

Who can bear this?

I just hope that Tsunade can cut a few more pieces of meat from the Third Hokage.

The edge of the street.

Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen stood facing each other.

In the distance was the vast ruins caused by the battle between Sawara Kiri and Kakuzu.

The stones and rubble that splashed a hundred meters away silently expressed the intensity of the battle. The air between the two was stagnant and silent.

Tsunade crossed her arms across her chest and turned her head to look at the battlefield that had almost destroyed half a city block. She said nothing, but it seemed as if she had said everything.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood where he was and raised his head slightly.

It was not until then that he suddenly realized that the little kid who used to follow him around had grown into a mature adult.

When Xiao Gang wore high heels, she was even half a head taller than me.

Time passes faster than I thought.

It's a pity that things are different and people are different.

"."

"Danzo can't be killed."

"He has also made a lot of contributions to Konoha over the years."

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke in a hoarse voice.

Tsunade turned her head sharply, and her golden braids spun half a circle in the air.

These old guys always have an extraordinary talent for irritating people with just one sentence.

But soon, she calmed down again.

The meaning of Sarutobi teacher's words is actually very clear - as long as you don't take Danzo's life, you can make other requests first.

Just as they expected from the beginning.

Everyone has their own weaknesses.

This decades-long bond with Danzo is Sarutobi Hiruzen's biggest and most obvious weakness.

However, Tsunade couldn't help but sneer:
"Oh, contribution?"

"Could it be that those rebel ninjas who were only trying to survive had no contribution to the village in the past?"

"Teacher, you know what he did."

"."

"As compensation." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly, like an old man in his twilight years, "From now on, the Root department will no longer exist."

"Danzo lost one of his hands, so he can't do anything."

"."

There was a long silence.

Probably because more than a month has passed.

The pain of a loved one's initial death is actually no longer as clear as it once was - which is not to say that the memory has been forgotten or forgiven.

But it's 'passed'.

As a result, Tsunade now has more time to suppress her emotions and continue to talk about future issues:
"not enough."

"The right for civilian ninjas to form their own societies needs to be managed by a specialized agency."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a serious expression: "Xiaotsuna, do you know that what you are fiddling with is a very dangerous thing?"

Public opinion, public opinion, whose opinion?
In the past, it was the opinion of the Hokage clan to unite with the Ninja clan.

But Tsunade now wants to expand this range.

Who is in control?

Who will be responsible?

In this world where one person can defeat thousands of troops, if you easily follow the so-called public opinion as a guide, you may end up creating a guy like Uchiha Madara in the past.

How many civilian Genins can beat a Hyuga Chunin?
How many civilian Chunins can defeat an Uchiha Jonin?

Who can convince a group of rabble who are not as strong as each other?
Xiao Gang only saw the present moment, and his vision was ultimately too short-sighted.

However, Tsunade just turned her head and looked into the distance, and said calmly:
"The war won't last much longer."

"Peace will come eventually."

Just as Sarutobi teacher laughed at her short-sightedness, Tsunade was also laughing at his conservativeness.

When peace comes, the transformation of ninjas will begin. Combat ability will no longer determine everything for ninjas, and the scope of the village's tasks to the outside world can be expanded to all walks of life - just like when she promoted the proposal to form a medical ninja team in the village in the past.

However, if we reach that point and try to push the power demands among the ninjas at the upper levels, what kind of obstacles will we encounter?
If it weren't for Kiri-kun's detailed analysis for her these days, Tsunade herself would probably have found it difficult to foresee so many problems.

The master and the disciple each had their own thoughts.

After nearly an hour of silent negotiations, a framework was finally agreed upon - a negotiation framework for dividing the responsibilities of the roots.

By the time we parted, it was already late at night.

Even when she turned around, Tsunade still had a gloomy look on her face.

Just wait until she raises her head.

Under the street light, Sawara Kiri was standing there, holding a bag of still hot yakitori skewers bought from the next block in her left hand, and two bottles of the brand of sake she drank most often in her right hand, quietly waiting for her.

Seeing her turn her head, he waved gently.

Tsunade couldn't help but let out a relaxed smile on her pretty face:

"We have to eat skewers tonight, don't you understand?"

"Smelly brat."

"Which one do you choose, the Yakitori stick or my stick?"

“Hey, this was the most popular love quote back then. In the comic, the male protagonist who was made into a slave said this and immediately made love with the female protagonist!”

"Later, he lived a happy harem life with many girls."

"If it doesn't work, you can change it to: Madam, are you willing to sleep with me tonight?"

"Wu, trust me! You won't be wrong."

Sahara Kiri glanced at the nonsense that Sister Tongzi bounced onto the panel.

I believed your ghost.

How sick is he to say such crazy things?

"Continued Cup!"

As Sawara Kiri was muttering to himself, a small bottle came over from the side and was pushed into his face.

Tsunade was half lying on the table, her face red from drunkenness, but she still turned her head to stare at him:

"Hey, why don't you drink? Finish it quickly!"

As if she noticed the juice left in his glass, a certain older single woman puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and kicked him with her calves under the table.

"Yes, yes." Sawara Kiri first refilled her wine, and then filled his own glass of juice, which made her laugh happily.

Maybe it was the pressure brought by various operations during this period, or maybe it was the satisfaction after finally avenging his dead lover.

Today, Tsunade got herself drunk, which was a rare occasion.

At this moment, she was seen with her elbows on the table, with the heavy glutinous rice balls placed on the table to share the pressure on her shoulders. Her golden hair was scattered all over her shoulders, and she was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and anti-thorn mesh that could not even cover her navel. The dark-colored feather orb was scattered on the ground behind her.

He was holding a skewers of yakitori in each hand and raising the bottle of wine, as if he could drink happily by himself.

"It's finally done."

Tsunade held the wine bottle between two fingers, turned around drunkenly, and looked at the young man beside her: "Now, whether it's you or Dan, you should be satisfied, right?"

The name of the Senju family, the identity of the princess of Konoha, the only influence in the whole village.
From the very beginning, she knew that while she was using the young man next to her, she was also being used by him.

But it doesn’t matter.

Originally, she had no attachment to this village anymore.

If it weren't for the trouble that Sawara Kiri had caused these days, she might have already left the village.

Sawara Kiri didn't answer, but just grabbed a skewer of grilled squid and took a bite.

A little cold.

"Hey!"

Tsunade yelled, "That's what I saved for last."

"Are you satisfied, Lady Tsunade?" At this time, Sahara Kiri suddenly asked.

"Shimura Danzo has been imprisoned in Konoha Prison for treatment. He will probably be secretly released soon. Although the Root has been disbanded, a similar department will probably appear again in the future, but the power may not be as great."

"What is happening in Konoha now may continue to happen in the future."

Saihara Kiri said this and turned to look at the woman beside him: "Lady Tsunade, are you satisfied with this?"

Yeah.

So what?
Tsunade lowered her head, her falling golden hair obscuring her vision, and thought silently in her heart.

After a long silence, she suddenly spoke:
"The Senju used to be a big clan."

"Servants, housekeepers, clan members, elders and deacons, strange traditions and rules fill this now empty courtyard." Tsuna pointed outside the door and drew his fingers.

"Before Konoha was established, this was the home of the Senju clan."

“Now, it’s all gone.”

Sawara Kiri listened quietly, with no intention of speaking in response.

Tsunade seemed to be a little drunk, and even her tongue was a little straight: "Since the First Ninja World War, nothing good has happened to me!"

"Grandma, Second Grandpa, Father, Mother, Rope Tree, Broken"

"My entire family died on the battlefield, and my first boyfriend, whom I found when I was almost 30, also died on the battlefield."

“No one was saved.”

Tsunade said as she grabbed Sawara Kiri's collar and said with a big tongue: "You little brat, do you know what this feels like?"

She held the wine bottle and pounded her chest, causing the whole place to shake:
“Such a big place.”

"I'm the only one left!"

"His (*Konoha swear*)!"

"Tell me, I'm already in this state, why should I care about so many messed up things? Can't this broken village just let me go!"

"Um?!"

However, Sawara Kiri did not answer, but just looked at her with a quiet smile.

"What? Are you dissatisfied with the complaints of older single women? Ah!" Tsunade half-closed her eyes in annoyance, obviously a little drunk.

Sahara Kiri first filled her wine bottle with wine, then asked:
"Are you really the only one left?"

"So, what have we been busy with for the past month?"

"what?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

Sawara Kiri's voice remained calm: "You have released Chief Inuzuka Motoyasu from prison, Inoue-kun's shop has been compensated because of your proposal, and the ninja tools in Uncle Haruno's blacksmith shop have been returned. There are many, many people who will benefit from what you are going to do in the future."

"Those were all your plans." Tsunade was about to say something with a frown, but her voice was interrupted.

Sawara Kiri looked at her and said, "But after you told everyone about it, this is 'our' plan."

At this point, a smile appeared on his face:
"Me, Hatake-sama, Tsunade-sama, and many, many others you know and don't know."

"Now, we are all 'accomplices'."

"How come you are alone?"

Tsunade was stunned and looked at him blankly.

A smile of success appeared on Sawara Kiri's handsome face.

A somewhat naughty smile.

It's like I didn't realize until now that I had accidentally boarded this brat's pirate ship.

It turns out that all his preparations since then were for this moment?

Somehow, Tsunade, lying on the table, suddenly realized that she seemed to be quite drunk. The alcohol was getting to her head and her face was burning.

".Who cares about you?"

After a long while, I heard her mumbling something drunkenly.

Sawara Kiri didn't care, she draped the dark blue haori over her shoulders, then stood up and walked out.

"Then I'll stop here today."

"If you don't come home soon, Xuehui will be worried."

"Lady Tsunade, please don't forget to clean the table after you get up. It will stink tomorrow if you leave it alone."

"Go away! I'm so annoyed."

Tsunade buried her head on the table, her face getting hotter and hotter, and she cursed at him in a bad mood.

When he walked away, there was no sound outside the door.

She finally stood up with great effort, and looked into the yard like a thief, then quickly rubbed her still hot cheeks.

"Goooo!"

"How could he have such a strange idea? He is still a teenager."

"Shit, this might be a bit too much today."

On the streets late at night.

Sawara Kiri turned his head to look at the bright lights in the courtyard, then looked down at the panel.

"Tsunade's Shallow Heart Knot (Complete)"

"Heart knot points +3"

"Bond level increased↑"

"Tsunade's bond level: one → two"

Even Sawara Kiri himself was startled when he saw the number of heart knot points on the panel and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh huh?"

“This is a great harvest.”
