I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Chapter 102 Should I Leave?

"ha--?!"

"Old man, what are you talking about!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, her emotions running high, and she overturned all the documents on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk onto the floor.

"Tsunade……"

Koharu, her face cold, was about to reprimand Tsunade when Tsunade domineeringly turned to Danzo: "Danzo, this is Konoha, isn't it! I can do whatever I want here! Right!"

"……snort."

Danzo snorted and gestured for Mitokado Homura to pull Koharu Utatane back.

Since Danzo's mission is already accomplished, Tsunade can now vent her frustrations however she wants.

Mitokado Homura pulled Utatane Koharu down with a wry smile. Tsunade was right, this was Konoha, she could do whatever she wanted.

Who can blame her when Tsunade is the princess of Konoha?

"Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'each has their own rewards and punishments'?"

Tsunade, her hair standing on end, accused Danzo of his actions to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"That's torture! That's completely inhumane! What does he take Konoha for?"

"What about the image problem! This isn't just Danzo's Konoha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat helplessly in the chair, letting Tsunade vent her anger.

What can I do? She's my own daughter; I have to spoil her even when she's throwing a tantrum.

"Alright, alright... Tsunade..."

Jiraiya tried to smooth things over, but Tsunade glared at him and said, "What did I say before? You dare to stop me?"

"Cough cough..."

Jiraiya cleared his throat and stepped back, gesturing for Chiaki, who was standing to the side, to come forward.

For the sake of his own future happiness, Jiraiya said it would be better not to stop Tsunade and to decisively send out Chiaki, who could solve the problem.

"Sister, come back. Grandpa has his own ideas too..."

Chiaki carefully stepped forward and put his arm around Tsunade's waist. Tsunade obediently snuggled into Chiaki's arms, looking aggrieved. "Chiaki... this old man teamed up with Danzo to bully me!"

"Okay, okay...they're all idiots, okay...don't be angry..."

Chiaki stroked Tsunade's hair, bowed slightly to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and mouthed, "I'll take her out first."

"go Go……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, pinching the bridge of his nose with a headache. This little princess was really not to be trifled with when she got angry.

However, she is in a better position, at least someone can help her.

If Tsunade inherited Mito Uzumaki's princess-like temper, then she would be truly doomed.

Without Hashirama Senju's abilities, who could control Mito Uzumaki?

Oh……

Sorry, even Hashirama Senju was a coward in front of Mito Uzumaki; he was too timid to speak.

After Chiaki and Tsunade left, only those who could actually think clearly remained in the Hokage's office.

"Jiraiya, do you have any objections to my decision?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his disciple, Jiraiya shrugged, "I'm fine. Rewards will be given where deserved, and punishments will be imposed where necessary. Merits and demerits will not cancel each other out."

"Chiaki will handle Tsunade's side, you just need to make the arrangements."

"very good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Jiraiya understood his thoughts. His gaze fell on Danzo.

"Shimura, and what about you?"

"That's reasonable, I accept it."

Danzo spoke calmly with his eyes closed.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado exchanged a glance. They had been waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to ask for their opinions, but Hiruzen didn't even look at them.

"Therefore, according to my decision, Shimura Danzo has successfully completed his mission, prompting Amegakure and Konoha to unite against the combined forces of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, and he shall receive his reward as stipulated."

"Furthermore, because your methods were too extreme and could easily damage Konoha's image to the outside world, you are hereby banned from leaving Konoha for five years to carry out missions. You are to focus on managing Root."

"Ah."

Danzo nodded, acknowledging Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision to reward or punish him.

"Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Senju Chiaki have rendered meritorious service in protecting Danzo and should receive their rewards according to regulations."

"Furthermore, because Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Senju Chiaki abandoned their posts and resisted orders during the mission, the three are punished by being sent to the front line to hold the line until the end of the war."

"Orochimaru's reward will be collected by Jiraiya on his behalf, and he can decide for himself whether to return to Konoha."

"So be it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took out two scrolls, hastily writing down rewards and punishments. He then reached for the seal and pressed it down forcefully, indicating that the orders were now in effect.

The scroll was tossed to Jiraiya and Danzo, and Hiruzen Sarutobi waved for them to leave.

It's annoying to look at.

Rewards and punishments are always the most difficult things to do. Achieving equality and balance, without provoking controversy, and ensuring everyone is convinced and satisfied is almost impossible.

The only thing that can be done is to offer some compensation privately, or to issue some warnings and exert some pressure.

To be honest, it's normal for Tsunade to be dissatisfied with this reward and punishment. However, if we follow the rules of ninjas, then it is indeed Chiaki and the other two who did something wrong.

In any case, they should not have left Danzo's side or resisted his orders.

Ninjas live by missions; those who resist missions and orders are destined to fail.

Even if it's somewhat inhumane, this is the current state of the ninja world.

Danzo's punishment was mild, but the punishment for Chiaki and the other two was quite severe.

They could only return from the front lines when the war ended. Who knows how long this war would last? Without a stable environment, anyone would experience mental stress.

We'll compensate them later.

Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped out of his reverie. Jiraiya and Danzo had already left, leaving only Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado in the room, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the two men with a puzzled expression, his thoughts wandering once again. What use were these two elders who held sinecure positions?

Not only do we have to pay them salaries every month, but we also have to put up with their constant nagging.

The main point is that their rambling is mostly nonsense, with very little of it being useful.

Or should they just fire him?

No, no, if I fire him, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire will complain again, saying that I, as Hokage, am autocratic and dictatorial, and that it will keep him up at night.

What a hassle...

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples, and couldn't help but reminisce about the time when Tobirama Senju was in power.

With Hashirama Senju standing in front, no matter what Tobirama Senju did, the daimyo didn't dare utter a sound, fearing that he would be killed by the Anbu one night.

Now that the two elders are dead, and his own rise to power is based on shallow foundations and insufficient strength, the daimyo has intervened, trying to persuade him with reason and emotion, insisting on sending two elders to get in the way.

If Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado hadn't been Hiruzen Sarutobi's childhood friends, he would have already lost his temper.

His thoughts returned, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at the two still staring at each other, asked in surprise, "Huh, what are you two still doing here!?"

Koharu and Homura: ...You didn't even tell us to leave!

So you're so disgusted? Then let's leave.

Chapter 103 The Drunken Princess is the Most Beautiful

"Woooooooo..."

"Qian, tell me, isn't the old man going too far?"

"The punishment given to us is so severe, while the punishment given to that old dog Danzo is so lenient!"

Tsunade cried as she poured alcohol into her mouth. Her face was flushed, and fueled by the alcohol, she went on a drunken rampage, venting her temper recklessly.

"unfair!"

"What do you mean by staying in Konoha for five years!"

"He was supposed to stay in Konoha anyway! What kind of punishment is this!"

"They even gave so many rewards, isn't that just to let that old dog operate his own forces in Konoha without worry!"

"And... hiccup!"

Tsunade let out a burp, turned the bottle upside down and shook it. There was no wine left in the bottle, not a single drop could be poured out.

She pouted and threw the wine bottle away in dissatisfaction.

"Boss! Bring the drinks!"

"Hurry! Now!

Like a little princess throwing a tantrum because she lost her toys, Tsunade slammed her fist on the table and yelled loudly.

The surrounding drinkers laughed as if they were used to it. Tsunade was a household name; almost the entire Hidden Leaf Village knew of this princess who loved to drink and was prone to temper tantrums.

This princess is straightforward and down-to-earth. She is beautiful, has a great figure, and is also a medical ninja.

Aside from being a bit violent, it's flawless; it's simply the best of the best.

Watching such a beautiful woman drink is a pleasure in itself.

"Yes, yes, I'll do it for you right now, really..."
